You didn’t start like this. But nursing changed you anyway. The Nurse Who Sees Too Much is not a burnout book. It’s a recognition book. This is for the nurse who notices everything now.

This book names what nursing does to your mind without romanticizing it or minimizing it. Inside, you’ll find why: Normal stopped feeling normal Caring started to cost you Relaxing feels impossible Sleep doesn’t ...

The purpose of this book is twofold: first, to elucidate the logic, principles, and significance of the Declaration of Independence as the embodiment of the American mind; and, second, to shed light on what John Adams once called the "real American Revolution"; that is, the moral revolution that occurred in the minds of the people in the 15 years before 1776.

Modern society presents itself as free, rational, and democratic—but is it truly governed by conscience, or by convenience? Morals – Dilemma for the Anesthetised Mind is a philosophical examination of the fragile balance between the individual, the State, Religion, and the pressures of consumer-driven society. It questions whether modern liberal democracies empower moral autonomy or quietly erode it in exchange for comfort, stability, and compliance. At the heart of the work lies a central tension: how much responsibility does the individual retain in a world that increasingly delegates...

In Just Hear Me Out, philosopher Colin Marshall describes a persuasive method that is both effective and ethical. Rather than share a flurry of tips for how to win friends and influence people, Marshall invites us to take up persuasion as fundamentally civil work, good both for our conscience and our communities. Real-world persuaders such as Jane Addams, Daryl Davis, and Fred Rogers show us an ethical route, he argues, to changing hearts through patience, respect, and compassion.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 B.C.-43 B.C.) is one of the seminal figures in the history of Western philosophy, politics, and letters. On Moral Ends (De Finibus) is considered by many to be his most important work in philosophy. In a series of stimulating dialogues, Cicero seeks to answer the question "What is humanity's Ultimate Good?" by examining the ethical systems of three different schools of thought. In so doing, he reveals powerful and startling truths about wisdom, virtue, and our deepest desires. Quintus Curtius is the pen name of attorney and translator George J. Thomas.

These beginnings are not finished virtues. They are sprouts. And like all living things, they must be protected, nourished, and grown. Mencius for Beginners is a clear, engaging introduction to one...
