Cyrus Webb reviews Demystifying Diversity

When it comes to the topic of diversity it can honestly go in so many directions. What I would say about Daralyse Lyons’ new book Demystifying Diversity: Embracing our Shared Humanity is that she strives to break it down to more than a US against THEM and see the why.

Through the interviews and her own personal observations we see how being singled out or labeled as impacted others. It also does something I wasn’t expecting. It turns the tables repeatedly on the reader, forcing us to ask what would we do or who would we be. In horrific events in history would be the one who was the oppressed or would we be the oppressor? Would we stand up for what is right or will be stay by? These questions are difficult but necessary if we are going to see things really move forward in a positive (and productive) way.

There’s another thing that Daralyse discusses in the book that is sure to step on some toes. I know it did mine. That being the words we use to categorize things, like being “good” for eating a salad or “bad” for not. The impact of what we say as well as what we do can impact the way people see themselves and feel about themselves.

Bottom line is we’re ALL a work in progress. This book challenges us to identify the work we ALL have to do and get about doing it.

Psychologist Dr. Cory Cohen teams up again with private investigator Ben Fortuna.

Cory and the detective tread a treacherous path strewn with terrorists determined to cause international disasters and a man propelled by greed and ambition.


"Her years as a psychologist have earned Ceren a look at the darkness of the psyche and human behavior. Psychologist-sleuth--Cory Cohen--is both compassionate and tough. A strong, heartfelt work from a writer we will be hearing a lot more about."
--T. Jefferson Parker, three-time Edgar-winning author


"Another exciting, engrossing psychological thriller from a favorite author. The well-defined characters and international intrigue create a compelling page-turner to the very end."
--Holly A. Hunt, PhD, psychologist, author, speaker


"...a good, fun thriller that packs in a whole lot of themes, in a way that doesn't clash. While being entertained, the reader is likely to get some subtle education on a number of psychological matters such as eating disorders and the effects of trauma."
