Story
The journey of self-discovery is a lifetime trip; and just like the fingerprints you possess, yours will be uniquely different than anyone else's. There are things that are common in each-such as good and bad times, emotional highs and lows, and choices that will need to be made. These choices that are presented to you can greatly define how you live your life. They may be influenced by the people you meet, symbols that are strategically placed along your journey.

Story
G. Ward Hubbs uses a stark and iconic political cartoon to illuminate postwar conflicts over the meaning of freedom in the American South. The cartoon first appeared in the Tuskaloosa Independent Monitor, published by local Ku Klux Klan boss Ryland Randolph, as a swaggering threat aimed at three individuals. The four men associated with the cartoon were archetypes of those who were seeking to rebuild a South shattered by war. Their lives, but especially their four very different understandings of freedom, help to explain many of the conflicts of the 1860s.

It just makes complete sense to me to have both of these manuscripts in a bundle! Of course, it also has to do with the fact that people have emailed me asking me to release a bundle of these two books. And I understand why they would want that, for the obvious reason, that both of these books will provide with the right tools you'll need in order to take full advantage of your coaching sessions and then maximize your leadership skills.

For many of us, the word narcissism is a joke. We say, "I'm such a narcissist!" with a slight chuckle as we update our Facebook feed with the 15th post since 7:00 a.m. However, it's not such a joke for some people. Narcissists live all around us...they might be the charming Casanova at work, the flirty barista at the local cafe, or even your own boyfriend or girlfriend. However, sometimes they might not be as wonderful and captivating behind closed doors as we'd like to think.

Never before has so much been known about so many. CCTV cameras, TSA scanners, NSA databases, big data marketers, predator drones, "stop and frisk" tactics, Facebook algorithms, hidden spyware, and even old-fashioned nosy neighbors - surveillance has become so ubiquitous that we take its presence for granted. While many types of surveillance are pitched as ways to make us safer, almost no one has examined the unintended consequences of living under constant scrutiny and how it changes the way we think and feel about the world.

Publisher's Summary
Today, Bernie Sanders is a household name, a wildly popular presidential candidate, and an icon for progressive Democrats in the US. But back in the 1980s, this “democratic socialist” - though some folks would prefer the term “social democrat” - was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, where his administration attempted radical reforms. Some efforts were successful, but when a waterfront deal failed, it was not due to Sanders' efforts; he would rather compromise and have a net gain than be an ideological purist.
In his preface to this reissue of the 1990 book, Challenging the Boundaries of Reform, W. J. Conroy reflects on the recent legacy of Sanders, his agenda for America, and his appeal to young voters. His audiobook then looks back to identify Sanders’ experience in Burlington by examining several case studies that unfolded amid a conservative trend nationally, an unsympathetic state government, and a hostile city council.
Ultimately, Conroy asks what lessons can be drawn from the case of Burlington that would aid the American left in a struggle to capture both government and civil society.

Sanders is a constant, stable man!
Bernie Sanders and the Boundaries of Reform: Socialism in Burlington
by W. Conroy
This is a book I received from freeaudiblecodes and the review is my own opinion.
This is from 1980 and describes Sanders campaign for Mayor, his ideals, and drive for America. What struck me the most astonishingly is that Sanders is still striving to get the same reforms past now that he was in 1980! Climate change, health care, and all the things that make life liveable. Common sense reform.
It's amazing that he was fought not only from the Republicans but also from democrats. Sanders was willing to compromise with Republicans to an extent on reforms believing that small reforms were better than none. More reforms could come later. Democrats didn't want any compromise. Republicans don't always compromise as we know.
This book just showed that Sander's values remain stable and he still fights for the public.

well researched case studies
the rest of the reviews for this, as of my review publishing date, have been unfair to it. I honestly think they didn't read the book. this is a well research set of case studies of bernie sander's tenure as mayor of burlington vt. It shows how his policy aims overlapped and diverged from his more left supporters, mainly focusing on growth.

So glad not Marxist
Takes 47 fancy words to say what 10 could take of. Written flatulence to say “give me your money because I want to control it”. This book is a great example of a left academic attempt to define, categorize, and explain everything. This author is obviously not stupid, but wasted talents. Jesus Christ
