    Compassion and Reason: The 36...

    What if compassion wasn’t optional… but your life’s true purpose? 
     
    In Compassion and Reason: The 36 Leonard Vovniks, a mysterious cosmic teacher steps forward with a radical yet disarmingly simple message: Humanity’s greatest responsibility is to be kind. Always. 
     
    Presented as a series of conversations between Leonard Vovnik—a fictional celestial guide—and a curious student, this thought-provoking book explores the deepest and most controversial issues of our time through one unwavering lens: absolute compassion. 
     
    From violence and anger to religion and doubt… from bodily autonomy and cultural traditions to slavery, judgment, gender, and the treatment of animals… no topic is too sensitive, no belief too sacred to examine. With clarity, boldness, and relentless moral consistency, Leonard challenges readers to rethink the foundations of control, ownership, identity, and power. 
     
    Is violence only physical—or does it begin in anger, shame, and judgment? 
    Do traditions deserve respect if they cause harm? 
    Does belief in God matter more than how we treat one another? 
    Who truly benefits from conflict in the world? 
     
    Through parables, riddles, and direct dialogue, the lessons unfold like a philosophical compass—pointing not toward ideology, but toward responsibility. The message is simple, yet demanding: 
     
    • No one owns another person. 
    • No culture or religion justifies cruelty. 
    • Bodily autonomy is sacred. 
    • Children deserve protection, never control. 
    • Compassion has no exceptions. 
     
    Leonard Vovnik is fictional. His message is not. 
     
    This is not a theological treatise. It is not a political manifesto. It is not an “everything” book with every answer. It is a guide—a call to moral courage and personal accountability. It asks readers to examine their habits, their inherited beliefs, and their everyday decisions. It insists that kindness is not weakness. That gentleness is strength. That the smallest shift in perspective can ripple across distance and time.

    America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals how and why neoliberalism became so prevalent in the United States and why it's time for us to turn our backs to it. 
     
    While America is at a crossroads regarding its economic future, many of us don't fully understand how we got here. In this powerful and accessible book, Thom Hartmann demystifies neoliberalism and explains how we can use this pivotal point in time to create a more positive future. 
     
    This book traces the history of neoliberalism-which applies to a set of capitalistic philosophies favoring free trade, financial austerity, and deregulation-up to the present. Hartmann explains how neoliberalism was sold as a cure for wars and the Great Depression. He outlines the impact that it has had on America, looking at different sectors, including healthcare, unemployment, and education. 
     
    Hartmann highlights how America can go one of two ways: continue going down the road to neoliberal oligarchy, as supported by the GOP, or choose to return to FDR's Keynesian economics, raise taxes on the rich, reverse free trade, and create a more pluralistic society.

    Jacques Lacan: The Basics provides a clear and succinct introduction to the work of Jacques Lacan, one of the key thinkers of the twentieth century. 
     
     
     
    Lacan's ideas are applied in the study of the humanities, politics, and psychology, as well as contemporary media and the arts, but their complexity makes them impenetrable to many. This book is unique in explaining the key concepts and context, from Lacan's understanding of psychoanalysis to drive and desire, in an accessible way without diluting them beyond meaning. Examples from popular culture are used throughout to emphasize the ideas being discussed and a full glossary and list of resources encourages additional exploration. 
     
     
     
    This engaging and accessible text is essential for all those interested in Lacan and his work, as well as students of psychology, psychoanalysis, literature, politics, cultural studies, film studies, and more.
