Historia
Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion - an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus - was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history.

Historia
Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection.

Historia
In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Historia
Americans are living through a social crisis. Our politics is polarized and bitterly divided. Culture wars rage on campus, in the media, social media, and other arenas of our common life. And for too many Americans, alienation can descend into despair, weakening families and communities and even driving an explosion of opioid abuse. Left and right alike have responded with populist anger at our institutions, and use only metaphors of destruction to describe the path forward: cleaning house, draining swamps. But, as Yuval Levin argues, this is a misguided prescription.

The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?

In the 1960s, Mao launched China’s Cultural Revolution. Cities grew overcrowded. Technocrats demanded progress from above. Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

Teenage girls are taking courses of testosterone and disfiguring their bodies. Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups. Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it - this book is for you.

Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential "nice guy". They're trained to be overly humble, kind to a fault, and that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the woman of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic and to put women ahead of their own interests, passions, and purpose. This book exposes the comforting lies you've been told throughout your life for what they really are, enabling you to become a truly authentic alpha who chases excellence and leads a successful passion-filled life.

Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.

In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of ‘wokeness’, the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.

This paradigm-shattering book provides an even-handed, science-based understanding of who women are, both on and off the pill. It will change the way that women think about their hormones and how they view themselves. It also serves as a rallying cry for women to demand more information from science about how their bodies and brains work and to advocate for better research. This book will help women make more informed decisions about their health, whether they're on the pill or off of it.

Historia
For years now, modern-day sexual ethics has held that “anything goes” when it comes to sex - as long as everyone says yes, and does so enthusiastically. So why, even when consent has been ascertained, are so many of our sexual experiences filled with frustration, and disappointment, even shame? The truth is that the rules that make up today’s consent-only sexual code may actually be the cause of our sexual malaise - not the solution. In Rethinking Sex, reporter Christine Emba shows how consent is a good ethical floor but a terrible ceiling.

Because the Court has redefined marriage in all 50 states, we have to energetically protect our freedom to live according to conscience and faith as we work to rebuild a strong marriage culture.

How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman discusses how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas.

Historia
The saints, the heroes of the Roman Catholic faith, lived lives of holiness, dedicated to serving God. The saints lived at different times in different places throughout history, but they all shared a love of God that has been documented through the teachings of the Church. Today, the saints serve as examples for all Catholics, showing the believers how to lead a more spiritual life. Catholic devotions are particular customs, rituals and practices of worship or in honour of the saints that are in addition to the liturgy of the Catholic Church.

Resumen del Editor
Sex is cheap. Coupled sexual activity has become more widely available than ever. Cheap sex has been made possible by two technologies that have little to do with each other - the Pill and high-quality pornography - and its distribution made more efficient by a third technological innovation, online dating.
Together, they drive down the cost of real sex, and in turn slow the development of love, make fidelity more challenging, sexual malleability more common, and have even taken a toll on men's marriageability.
Cheap Sex takes listeners on an extended tour inside the American mating market, and highlights key patterns that characterize young adults' experience today, including the timing of first sex in relationships, overlapping partners, frustrating returns on their relational investments, and a failure to link future goals like marriage with how they navigate their current relationships.
Drawing upon several large nationally-representative surveys, in-person interviews with 100 men and women, and the assertions of scholars ranging from evolutionary psychologists to gender theorists, what emerges is a story about social change, technological breakthroughs, and unintended consequences.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Historia
Thirty years ago, award-winning journalist Jon Ronson stumbled on the mystery of Carol Howe—a charismatic, wealthy former debutante turned white supremacist spokeswoman turned undercover informant. In 1995, Carol was spying on Oklahoma’s neo-Nazis for the government just when Timothy McVeigh blew up a federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.

Historia
On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Historia
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Historia
Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, treating men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women.

Hook-Up Culture - Explained!
There are a few books that I've read and have changed my outlook on everyday life - this is one of them. This book simply uncovered and explained lots of societal trends that I regularly observe in my younger co-workers, but never gave them a second thought other than to say things like, "Dating is so much different now" and the like. It's like having the curtain pulled back and everything explained.
I docked one start because I thought the chapter about pornography and masturbation was far too lengthy and wrought with just too many statistics. The author made is point, but I'm not sure it couldn't have been made in half the time.
As for the 1-star reviews of this book - I'm really having a problem with claims of "Cherry-picking" statistics. The author says in the introduction what sources he uses, and explains that there are no other comparable data sets available. Those reviewers stopped short of referencing data sets beyond what was supposedly "cherry-picked". The shopper should be weary of claims of "cherry-picking" data - I felt the data presentation was honest and sound - one could argue the inferences he draws from said data, but even that is hard to debate I found - and some of those conclusions went against what I would have thought.
Overall I highly recommend the book - it was an eye-opener!

Definitely shows through studies how most of these people are choosing stuff just because they don’t understand things better so end up depressed
Also shows that the religious and one unit was right All along, these liberals and gays just showing they are happy but in reality they are confused

Pretty Darn Accurate...unfortunately
People question why I am single as a very fit, healthy, intelligent and attractive 35 year old woman living in one of the best cities in the world (I live in San Francisco), yet what most fail to realize or choose not to see is the following:
Cheap sex has changed, and is very much still changing, the ways in which men and women relate to one another since it is eroding the backbone of long term relationships / commitment. When I talk about this concept, I am usually greeted with sighs and eye rolls from people of the older generations who grew up in a totally different era and think that there is just something inherently wrong with me; and my female friends who keep wasting their time with the dating apps, etc. deluding themselves into thinking that if they just keep doing what they are doing, they are going to get something different: an amazing man who is handsome, successful, fun, smart, emotionally available, marriage ready and possesses the desire for children.
I hate to be a buzzkill, but....
It is my experience that if we keep doing what we're doing, we're gonna keep gettin' what we're gettin', and most single women in San Francisco have the same complaints across the board as many other women in the United States unfortunately: the guy is either a bit of a loser, or if he's not a loser, and is actually somewhat interesting and attractive, he is nowhere to be found after a couple of dates because he is so sought after on the dating apps (usually having a plethora of women to choose from so he can keep going to his next best option and thus never having to really settle down). In the meantime, while he navigates the myriad of options he has on the dating apps and offline, he can get his sexual fantasies and needs fulfilled with the wide range of easily accessible porn in combination with the multiple flings he has going on with these desperate women who keep thinking that he is legitimately interested in them, when he is really just stringing them along for his own pleasure and entertainment. And, yes, for the men who actually want a committed relationship and/or aren't as desirable online/offline, they would probably say the same about attractive, interesting women in SF, but, more often than not, it's the other way around because, like the book comments, men ultimately hold the power at this point since cheap sex has infiltrated the dating / relationship / marriage market.
I have to say that although I am somewhat sad to say goodbye to the way things used to be (you know, like the days when a guy actually had to have the balls to ask a woman out in person and then had put some effort into actually planning the date, etc.), I have found a beautiful sense of freedom as I have basically become the man I always wanted to marry. With the way things are headed, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if I never get married or end up in a decent committed partnership thanks to cheap sex. And while the people of the older generations keep scratching their heads trying to figure out why I am still single, and my female friends keep complaining that the dating scene is fruitless, I am going to keep enjoying the best relationship in the world: the one with myself... because, ultimately, what other options do I really have? Sadly, not very many in today's digital age.

good read
I think the author misses a couple of important points and, I think he's influenced slightly by the feminization of culture in the US. Women are somehow still the victims of the narrative when very clearly these changes have been heavily influenced by women. That's one of the things about leadership, It comes with responsibility and accountability. Women set these changes in motion and the failure of any one of them is necessarily bound to their philosophy. Over all a great book and I recommend it. I think the author raises a lot of useful points.

Highly informative and enlightening
The way this very troubling information is presented, analyzed and commented on was not just frank, and it was, but the commentary was very responsible from the perspective of a religious citizen who is well served to understand exactly what the situation and the stakes entail.
