Barbara Ehrenreich's Bright-sided is a sharp-witted knockdown of America's love affair with positive thinking and an urgent call for a new commitment to realism Americans are a "positive" people—cheerful, optimistic, and upbeat: this is our reputation as well as our self-image. But more than a...

A haunting literary novella about hunger, silence, and the mercy that kills in beautiful words. In the ruins of a forgotten land, a father and daughter wait beside a fence that divides the living from the abandoned. Beyond it stand white trucks with red symbols of mercy.

The philosopher brings up many Stoic principles on the nature of time, namely that men waste much of it in meaningless pursuits. According to the essay, nature gives man enough time to do what is really important and the individual must allot it properly.

America still calls itself a republic. But we’ve quietly built something else. Every shock in ordinary life — a rent spike, a medical bill, slashed hours, an offshored job, a broken body at 57 — is now treated as a federal emergency. Washington steps in, again and again, not just for national catastrophe, but to hold up daily life. That feels compassionate. It’s actually dangerous.When the federal government is expected to stabilize everyone, permanently, certain things follow. “Temporary rescue” hardens into unquestionable entitlement, and politics turns into “don’t cut ...

Born into slavery in 1818, Frederick Douglass rose to become one of the nation's foremost intellectuals - a statesman, author, lecturer, and scholar who helped lead the fight against slavery and racial oppression. Unlike other leading abolitionists, however, Douglass embraced the US Constitution, insisting that it was an essentially anti-slavery document and that its guarantees for individual rights belonged to all Americans, of whatever race. Douglass spoke in his most popular lecture, "Self-Made Men", of people who rise through their own effort and devotion rather than privilege.

Today, our culture is inundated with collectivism, the idea that man belongs to the group and must obey the group’s moral pronouncements. We are told we belong to the family, the community, the church, the race, the ethnic group, etc. We are told that only the collective is important and that sacrifice to the group is the only moral act. This book seeks a different perspective. It holds that the individual is supremely important and an end in him or herself, not to be used by collectivist leaders for the sake of "common" goals. This book is “succinctly written and conveys complex ...
