Summary

In "Andrew Jackson's Farewell Address," readers are presented with a profound reflection on the principles of governance and personal conviction from one of America's most polarizing presidents. Delivered at the end of his second term in 1837, the address blends a deeply personal narrative with a broader historical context, emphasizing the importance of unity and vigilance against external and internal threats. Jackson's literary style is direct and impassioned, employing rhetorical devices that resonate with the values of national identity and resilience prevalent in the post-Revolutionary era. This farewell message stands as a significant contribution to American political discourse, indicative of the Jacksonian era's complexities and the evolving nature of American democracy. Andrew Jackson, born into poverty and shaped by a tumultuous early life, rose to prominence as a military leader and populist politician. His experiences on the frontier and his staunch defense of state rights informed his views on federal government and the burgeoning American identity. These influences are evident in his farewell address, where he reconciles his tumultuous presidency with the responsibility of leading a young nation grappling with its path forward. Readers interested in understanding the foundations of American political thought will find Jackson's farewell address not only a historical document but a timeless discourse on power, patriotism, and the imperative of civic engagement. It is a must-read for students of American history and anyone seeking insight into the enduring legacy of one of its most iconic leaders.

    Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from “both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability” (Chicago Tribune). As Erich Fromm points out, ours is “a life between having and being”—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist’s views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

    Public service embodies the commitment to work for the greater good, prioritizing the well-being and needs of society over personal gain. It is rooted in the principles of altruism, civic duty, and social responsibility, often manifesting through roles in government, education, healthcare, and community organizations. Public servants are driven by a desire to contribute to the common welfare, ensuring that essential services and resources are accessible to all, particularly the most vulnerable members of society. 
  
The essence of public service lies in its foundational values: integrity, transparency, accountability, and equity. These values guide public servants in their decision-making processes, ensuring that their actions reflect the best interests of the public. It also involves a deep understanding of the diverse needs within a community and a commitment to addressing these needs with fairness and compassion. 
  
Furthermore, public service is about fostering trust between the public and institutions. By consistently acting with honesty and fairness, public servants can build and maintain the public’s confidence in their ability to govern and manage resources effectively. This trust is essential for the functioning of a democratic society, as it ensures public cooperation and support for initiatives that benefit the community as a whole. 
  
Ultimately, public service is a calling that requires dedication, empathy, and a strong sense of justice. It is about making a positive impact on society, ensuring that all individuals have the opportunity to thrive, and creating a legacy of service that inspires future generations.
