Dad Brain - The New Science of...

Darby Saxbe PhD

A groundbreaking scientific exploration of fatherhood that explains the biology of caregiving and redefines what it means to be a “good dad”Over the last decade, researchers have discovered that having a child profoundly transforms our brains, hormones, and sense of self. Most studies have (understandably) focused on mothers. Until recently, the transition to fatherhood has been overlooked.Now, in Dad Brain, University of Southern California Professor Darby Saxbe draws on her field-leading research on families to revolutionize our understanding of fatherhood. As Dr. Saxbe explains, across both animal and human societies, fathering behaviors vary widely. Male birds and fish are exemplary dads (Nemo’s father was no outlier; clownfish dads are particularly devoted), but involved fathers are rare among mammals. Human fatherhood is considered “facultative,” an optional but very useful adaptation. That’s where nonbiological factors such as love, obligation, culture, religion, and complex reproductive strategies come in, influencing the ways fathers respond to the needs of their children.In Dad Brain, Dr. Saxbe takes readers on a fatherhood world tour, from hunter-gatherers in the Congo to contemporary suburban dads, and into her lab at USC, where she investigates how caregiving alters men’s biology—including their brain architecture and hormone levels. Ultimately, she offers powerful evidence that great dads are made, not born. When men devote time and care to their children, their physiology adapts to set them up for success—and they can discover a richer and more connected life.In the tradition of bestselling books such as Hunt, Gather, Parent and The Anxious Generation, Dad Brain blends science, culture, and personal narrative to offer an illuminating, research-based understanding of fatherhood that will become a must-read for all parents.

The Accidental Equalizer - How...

Jessi Streib

A startling discovery—that job market success after college is largely random—forces a reappraisal of education, opportunity, and the American dream. 
 
As a gateway to economic opportunity, a college degree is viewed by many as America’s great equalizer. And it’s true: wealthier, more connected, and seemingly better-qualified students earn exactly the same pay as their less privileged peers. Yet, the reasons why may have little to do with bootstraps or self-improvement—it might just be dumb luck. That’s what sociologist Jessi Streib proposes in The Accidental Equalizer, a conclusion she reaches after interviewing dozens of hiring agents and job-seeking graduates. 
 
Streib finds that luck shapes the hiring process from start to finish in a way that limits class privilege in the job market. Employers hide information about how to get ahead and force students to guess which jobs pay the most and how best to obtain them. Without clear routes to success, graduates from all class backgrounds face the same odds at high pay. The Accidental Equalizer is a frank appraisal of how this “luckocracy” works and its implications for the future of higher education and the middle class. Although this system is far from eliminating American inequality, Streib shows that it may just be the best opportunity structure we have—for better and for worse.

Thus Spake Zarathustra - A Book...

Friedrich Nietzsche

Zarathustra, is a prophet who has spent years in solitude in the mountains, seeking enlightenment. He eventually descends from the mountains to share his wisdom with humanity. Throughout the book, Nietzsche presents his ideas on a variety of topics, including morality, religion, the nature of existence, and the human condition. He challenges traditional views on these subjects, advocating for a new, individualistic perspective that encourages the pursuit of one's own path in life. "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is known for its poetic and often cryptic language, as well as its challenging ideas. It has been interpreted in many different ways, and remains a cornerstone of Nietzsche's philosophy. Read in English, unabridged.
