Historia
In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

The Book Of Our Time
Revisado: 03-21-24
If you care for our future as a society and civilization, you need to read this book, learn from it, and understand the systems we have built here in the USA that limit so many of us in harmful, hateful, and intentional ways. We today may not have built our caste system, but we live in it, and we must accept our duty to tear it down. Excellent book in print or in audio form.

Historia
Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why? This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your front door and let the darkness pull you in.

Historia
In The Open-Air Life, Swedish-American writer Linda McGurk introduces listeners to a wide array of Nordic customs and practices that focus on slowing down and spending more and more of ones’ time outdoors. An outdoorsy cousin of hygge, friluftsliv is what Nordic people do outside all day before they cozy up in front of the fireplace with their wool socks on and a cup of hot cocoa.

Historia
Awe is mysterious. How do we begin to quantify the goose bumps we feel when we see the Grand Canyon, or the utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? How do you put into words the collective effervescence of standing in a crowd and singing in unison, or the wonder you feel while gazing at centuries-old works of art? In Awe, Dacher Keltner presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into this elusive emotion.

In Awe of Awe
Revisado: 03-16-23
I volunteer as an advocate discussing the environmental and public health problems that are caused by light pollution. This book has been a key influencer in my recent public discussions on the subject. The health impacts across the entire spectrum of our biology from experiencing awe and wonder are only now becoming known, but it is already clear that we must change our lives. We must pull back from the work 80% of the time, hustle to survive, mentality of modern life in the USA. We need to reconnect with our connections to the natural world, to slow down, look around and be absolutely amazed at the planet and people around us. If we can find awe again, we will accomplish anything,

Historia
In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. It’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed, counter the end of moral progress, and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human. If we set humanity’s course right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything to give them a world of justice, hope, and beauty.

Important Book
Revisado: 12-02-22
Thinking outside of your own local environment, and your own timeframe of today, is a vital skill in todays world. This excellent book helps conceptualize thinking long term, of feeling consequences of our actions not just tomorrow or next year, but in hundreds, thousand, and millions of years. We make an impact that can spread across time and the globe. I highly recommend this book.

Historia
Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military.

Historia
Unlike the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had near-unanimous public support. At first, the goals were straightforward and clear: Defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off-course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives.

Craig Whitlock has penned an outstanding summary of his incredible investigative work for the Washington Post concerning the USA’s longest war. Anyone wishing for a solid background on the decades of mismanagement and deception that helped keep the US involved in Afghanistan should listen to or read this book.
