Sinopsis

Many Americans believe that foreign military intervention is central to protecting our domestic freedoms. But Christopher J. Coyne and Abigail R. Hall urge engaged citizens to think again. Overseas, our government takes actions in the name of defense that would not be permissible within national borders. Emboldened by the relative weakness of governance abroad, the U.S. government is able to experiment with a broader range of social controls. Under certain conditions, these policies, tactics, and technologies are then re-imported to America, changing the national landscape and increasing the extent to which we live in a police state.
 
Coyne and Hall examine this pattern—which they dub "the boomerang effect"—considering a variety of rich cases that include the rise of state surveillance, the militarization of domestic law enforcement, the expanding use of drones, and torture in U.S. prisons. Synthesizing research and applying an economic lens, they develop a generalizable theory to predict and explain a startling trend. Tyranny Comes Home unveils a new aspect of the symbiotic relationship between foreign interventions and domestic politics. It gives us alarming insight into incidents like the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri and the Snowden case—which tell a common story about contemporary foreign policy and its impact on our civil liberties.

    **12 Hidden Psychological Biases Working Against Your Career Goals in Your Office** 
    This is not a book about Racial or Gender bias. This is about something more.. 12 Hidden Psychological Biases, right at your workplace, right in front of you.. day-in & day-out! 
    Corporates spend millions of dollars every year to train their managers against biases prevalent in their workplaces. But as a new entrant or a mid-senior level employee you cannot simply hope for these trainings to instill a better sense in your colleagues and managers. For the sake of your own careers be aware of all the hidden psychological aspects that may be working against your career goals in office. 
    A Corporate office is full of psychological biases, many not even as prominent or evident as racial or gender bias. Often, we don't even realize that we are a victim of these psychological biases from our managers, until it’s too late. By then, we have either lost out on an interview or have received not-so-great annual performance rating. Awareness is the best cure to navigate through these psychologically complex situations and achieve career success. 
    The 'Theory of Corporate Mind' originates from a well-known psychological concept called 'Theory of Mind'. Theory of Mind defines the basic ability of human brain to understand and mirror others' perspective. Although this ability originates at a very young age, the adult workforce entering the corporate world doesn't seem to be utilizing this cognitive ability to its advantage. 
    Do not underestimate the power of these 12 hidden biases. They may have already costed you a lot in your career. Be Aware!

    Millions revere Drucker as “the father of modern management”—this is the first book to share his reflections on self-management  •    Based on Bruce Rosenstein’s 20 years-plus study of Drucker’s life and thought   •    Helps you construct a complete life plan through exercises, questions, and illustrative anecdotes and quotes   How can we have a rich and fulfilling life? For Peter Drucker, one of the most influential thinkers of modern times, the secret was “living in more than one world”—enjoying a diverse set of interests, activities, acquaintances, and pursuits. Drucker was able to do this despite extraordinary demands on his time, and now Bruce Rosenstein shows how the man who transformed organizational management can transform the way you manage your personal and professional life.   An enormously influential business author and consultant, Drucker also wrote extensively on self-development and self-management, but these writings are scattered throughout dozens of books and articles. For the first time Rosenstein brings these ideas together into a straightforward framework that guides you in building a multifaceted life and career. It’s the next best thing to being mentored by Drucker himself.   Rosenstein shares Drucker’s advice for, first, honing in on your core competencies—developing your main talents, clarifying your values, and managing your time. With this firm foundation established he uses Drucker as both source and example to show how to enrich your life by developing parallel and second careers, making a difference in the lives of others through voluntarism and service, and using teaching and lifelong learning as complimentary ways of staying engaged and up to date.   By living in more than one world you gain new insights, see your world from fresh perspectives, access ever-changing sources of inspiration and stimulation. Peter Drucker managed a varied professional life as a writer, educator, and consultant, and was deeply immersed in literature, music, and art. But he wasn’t superhuman. This is a life that can be lived by anybody who has the tools and Bruce Rosenstein provides them in this thoughtful and inspiring book.

    Many writers have explored Lincoln's leadership; others have debated Lincoln's ambiguous religious identity. But in this classic work, Christian philosopher and statesman Elton Trueblood reveals how Lincoln's leadership skills flowed directly from his religious convictions—which explains how the president was able to combine what few leaders can hold together: moral resoluteness with a shrewd ability to compromise; confidence in his cause while refusing to succumb to the traps of self-righteousness or triumphalism; and a commitment to victory while never losing sight of his responsibility for—or the humanity of—his enemy. These rich meditations offer deep wisdom and insight on one of the most effective leaders of all time.
