Dehumanization - How We Lose Our Way to Cruelty

Dan Desmarques

Casa editrice: 22 Lions

Sinossi

What makes us human - and why do we often forget this essential truth? This book explores the challenging question of how ordinary people lose their humanity, carefully examining the daily choices, social pressures, and primitive instincts that lead us down the path to cruelty. If you've ever wondered what divides society today-or how we can reclaim our common humanity-this book offers clear insights and practical techniques.

In a world filled with division, we explore the dark side that is present in all of us-how fear, group affiliation, and declining empathy drive people to harm others. Dehumanization isn't just a historical concept; it's a reality we're grappling with right now. But recognizing this problem is only the beginning-this book serves as a wake-up call and offers powerful ways to break this troubling cycle. By facing the hard truths honestly and using psychological insights alongside actionable advice, you'll discover how self-awareness, critical thinking, and courage can transform isolation into genuine human connection.

The line between good and evil isn't drawn between us and them; it runs through each of us. Are you brave enough to look inside yourself? This book is perfect if you've ever wondered how "good people" can commit shocking acts, or if you worry that you may inadvertently contribute to harm. Blending hard truths with hopeful solutions, here's why this book is impossible to put down:

- Urgency: By linking past tragedies to today's divided society, the book makes the issues immediate and personal.

- Scientific credibility: Backed by groundbreaking psychological experiments, the book explains cruelty with credible and insightful science.

- Practical Hope: Balancing difficult realities with achievable solutions, the book motivates meaningful thought and action.

- Personal Reflection: Challenging questions encourage you to explore your own place in human history.

This book is not just a read; it's a mirror, a warning, and a practical guide. Are you ready to understand the roots of cruelty and discover your capacity for resistance? Your journey begins here!

Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How...

Sophia Blackwell

In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. "Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad" exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons. 
Laugh out loud as we dissect Rousseau's greatest contradictions: his fetishization of indigenous cultures (without meeting any actual indigenous people), his belief that society corrupts natural goodness (while engaging in deeply unnatural bedroom activities), and his conviction that he alone understood true freedom (while being pathologically dependent on others for basic survival). 
This savagely irreverent guide reveals how a paranoid, chronically constipated Swiss misanthrope somehow managed to inspire both democracy AND totalitarianism between bouts of accusing everyone he met of conspiring against him. With brutal honesty and razor-sharp wit, we explore how Rousseau's complete disaster of a personal life somehow produced philosophical insights that still haunt us today—especially when we complain about technology ruining society while scrolling through social media. 
Perfect for philosophy students in desperate need of comic relief, or anyone who enjoys watching narcissistic geniuses get thoroughly eviscerated. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable laughter and concerned looks from serious academics.

Serenity in the Storm - Living...

Kayleigh McEnany

Kayleigh McEnany brings to life the key cultural and political issues of our time,  analyzing world events through the lens of faith and providing listeners with Serenity in the Storm. 
 
 
 
Our world, without question, is experiencing aberrational times. The life-altering realities of COVID-19 that I worked through as White House press secretary were just the start of it. What followed was a series of history-defining events. From the fall of Afghanistan to the nationwide crime wave, we've all endured painful images of death, destruction, and chaos. Meanwhile, radical teachings on gender and race have infiltrated our nation's schools, poisoning the minds of our children—all at a time when our country feels more divided than ever before. Along with these twenty-first century realities can come a feeling of despair and discouragement. Indeed, I hear it all the time as I crisscross the country: Americans feel disheartened and seek hope. 
 
 
 
Taking a similar format to my New York Times bestselling book, For Such a Time as This, I analyze our domestic and international challenges through the lens of faith. Though we have lived through dark times, the storms we face have prompted many great leaders to rise to the moment and have left a yearning in the human heart for a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is walking alongside us every step of the way.
