The United States of America has been the most powerful country in the world for more than 70 years, but recently the US National Security Strategy declared that the return of great power competition with Russia and China is the greatest threat to US national security. Further, many analysts predict that America's autocratic rivals will have at least some success in disrupting - and, in the longer term, possibly even displacing - US global leadership. Brilliant and engagingly written, The Return of Great Power Rivalry argues that this conventional wisdom is wrong.

Very relevant observations of the Great Power Competition. Although the subject matter may seem frightening to Democratic nations, the book does a good job of quelling fears as long as we agree that the alternative of a Autocracy is a way worse option.

From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a conversational, stirring call to “a better, more human way to live” (Cal Newport, New York Times best-selling author) that examines the “laziness lie” - which falsely tells us we are not working or learning hard enough.

Politically Biased, But Hits Work/Life Imbalances Hard
Revisado: 02-04-22
Dr. Price is correct; as a society, we put so much emphasis in productivity at work and relationships that we negate our own mental health in the process. Although I don’t agree with all of his points in the book, there’s definitely key takeaways that I will be using in enrich my own life at home and at work.
The think I disliked the most is Dr. Price has political biases that detract from his main message. Again, this is a societal issue. Whether you are conservative or progressive, liberal or authoritative, we all need to fix our work/life imbalances. Because of his political bias, it makes it seem that the laziness only applies to progressive liberals or something only progressive liberals can fix. Why not show examples from conservative libertarians or centrists?
Overall, if you can get past these biases, you can take some key points and apply them to your own life the way you see fit. We need to do a good job taking care of ourselves, and book could be a good wake up call for some to start doing so.
