In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Few works answer so many questions...EVER!
Revisado: 12-13-20
Most thoroughly reasoned and foundationally insightful treatise I could imagine on how to solve the division and strife plagued contemporary culture and divisive nature of current society. I WILL reread this work (and recommend it) for years. Masterful teaching and remarkably thought provoking from every aspect.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....

The contemporary American is often an isolated citizen. Isolated by our modern digital, viral world and much more that's going on in 21st c culture. Stories of deep, emotional, true and historical meaning are a sorely needed injection into each of our lives. This book caters to that need and reminds us a) how indebted we are to Americans who have come before the current age and b) how much each of us should be willing to contribute to our society and our nation's ideals even now.

In this stirring audiobook, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence, when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

Worth it...in any way!
Revisado: 05-10-20
Though it is simple historical accounting at its most basic process, it is masterful storytelling in the rendering. Not in the slightest way intimated as a treatise to justify "American exceptionalism" the facts DO point to a nation aided numerous times, especially at its inception, by forces and 'coincidences' well too improbable to be altogether ignored as simple luck. History that EVERY citizen should hear and take to heart during EVERY age. Bravo.

In American Gospel (literally meaning the "good news about America"), New York Times best-selling author Jon Meacham sets the record straight on the history of religion in American public life. As Meacham shows, faith, meaning a belief in a higher power, and the sense that we are God's chosen, has always been at the heart of our national experience, from Jamestown to the Constitutional Convention to the Civil Rights Movement to September 11th.

Facts presented in a wonderful telling of history.
Revisado: 04-01-20
As America ages, many become too misinformed by contemporary sources or even too lazy to investigate exactly WHAT good information from historically significant periods really does tell us. Here's a book pertinent to a tremendous number of modern age issues that brings forward FOR us the realities and some of the thinking of our founders and one that does so honestly. Highest recommendations!

Seven Days in Augusta is a celebration of what makes the Masters singular and iconic, from the par-3 contest to Amen Corner to Butler Cabin. Mark Cannizzaro goes behind the scenes of the exclusive competition, covering wide-ranging topics including green jacket rituals, tales from The Crow's Nest atop the clubhouse, the extreme lengths some fans have gone to acquire tickets, and what goes on outside the gates during Masters week. Features some of the most memorable and dramatic moments from the tournament's history, this is an essential, expansive look at golf's favorite event.

Having attended the last "Michelson Master's" in 2010, with my eldest son then 15 and through the kindness of a very dear friend, the Masters and every aspect of that tournament interests me even more now than it did as a high school golf team captain in 1979. This volume fills a great purpose in bringing the average fan a few steps closer to a place in golf lore and history that they would never otherwise be able to peek into. Personable and written in a voice that is always respectful of both the game and the average fan, Cannizzaro has offered us a book of stories, remembrances and insights that can't really be found anywhere else. Good read.
