On Our Knees: Loving Your Life Even When You Hate What’s Happening

From the New York Times best-selling author of Pussy comes a radical curriculum for claiming your full radiance—by first claiming your darkness.

You have been strong for so long. You have managed, adapted, optimized, and soldiered on. You have said I’m fine so many times that you’ve almost convinced yourself it’s true.

But you know what’s happening. The world is crumbling. Your carefully constructed life may be too. And somewhere inside you, a voice you’ve been trained to ignore is asking a question you’re not sure you’re allowed to answer: What if surrendering is not defeat—but the most powerful thing you have ever done?

In On Our Knees, the New York Times best-selling author of Pussy: A Reclamation faces this question head-on. On Our Knees is Regena Thomashauer’s reckoning—with loss, with darkness, with the goddess, and with herself—in the most daring, most intimate, and most essential book of her life.

Weaving her own raw, unsparing story with ten goddess archetypes—Aphrodite, Kali, Inanna, Lilith, Psyche, and more—Mama Gena reveals the hidden curriculum of every woman’s darkest chapter: That surrender is not the end of power. It is the doorway to it.

Inside this book, you will discover:

• Why the word Fine is formaldehyde for a woman’s soul and the pleasure practice that breaks the spell
• The erotic science behind why pleasure is not indulgence, but the most radical act of healing available to women today
• Ten goddess archetypes—each a map for a different kind of undoing: heartbreak, rage, exile, the mother wound, the longing for love
• The “Courtesan’s Journey”—Mama Gena’s most powerful teaching on eroticizing your darkest material into unstoppable forward momentum
• Embodied “Initiations” at the end of every chapter—rituals to move what’s stuck in your body and alchemize grief, rage, and loss into power

A Forest Calls

Forest time is not human time. Forests dream and wake to different rhythms from us.

When Raksha moves to Basavakere at the edge of a wakening forest, she finds a magnificent library, an exciting new quest, and peculiar new maybe-friends. But Savitha seems to prefer studying to adventuring, and Pol is oddly cagey, especially about the forest. Also cagey: the other new resident, a visitor from the past who is sometimes canine, sometimes human, and always mysterious.

When he is kidnapped, Savitha, Pol, and Raksha must brave many dangers, known and unknown to rescue him—steel-limbed ukkukai, strange oceanic beasts, vengeful monarchs, the Creepy Corps, parents, times past and present, board exams, the vast grasping forest, and, looming closer and closer, the future.

An utterly fantastical and magical story, A Forest Calls will touch a chord deep within every reader.

The Scientific Mindset

Test more. Assume less. How a scientific mindset drives smarter decisions in an uncertain world.

Every day, leaders face high-stakes decisions about products, customers, strategy, and resource allocation. Yet many of these decisions rely on untested assumptions. Overconfidence, gut instinct, and “what worked before” often stand in for evidence, leaving companies exposed to costly missteps. And the problem goes beyond the workplace: we all make countless choices about our behavior, our health, and the information we trust. How can we decide better amidst today’s uncertainty and complexity?

In The Scientific Mindset: How Thinking Scientifically Drives Better Business Decisions, innovation expert Stefan Thomke offers a compelling solution: adopt a scientific mindset. Drawing on decades of research and using real-world examples, Thomke shows how challenging assumptions, articulating testable hypotheses, and running disciplined experiments transform decision-making. This concise, practical guide introduces a new leadership model grounded in evidence, not just intuition.
