  Radical Enfranchisement in the...

  Juries have been at the center of some of the most emotionally charged moments of political life. At the same time, their capacity for legitimate decision making has been under scrutiny, because of events like the acquittal of George Zimmerman by a Florida jury for the shooting of Trayvon Martin and the decisions of several grand juries not to indict police officers for the killing of unarmed black men. Meanwhile, the overall use of juries has also declined in recent years, with most cases settled or resolved by plea bargain. 
              
  With Radical Enfranchisement in the Jury Room and Public Life, Sonali Chakravarti offers a full-throated defense of juries as a democratic institution. She argues that juries provide an important site for democratic action by citizens and that their use should be revived. The jury, Chakravarti argues, could be a forward-looking institution that nurtures the best democratic instincts of citizens, but this requires a change in civic education regarding the skills that should be cultivated in jurors before and through the process of a trial. Being a juror, perhaps counterintuitively, can guide citizens in how to be thoughtful rule-breakers by changing their relationship to their own perceptions and biases and by making options for collective action salient, but they must be better prepared and instructed along the way.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Surrounded by Idiots" by Thomas Erikson explores the D.I.S.C. model of human behavior, categorizing individuals into four color types: Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue. It argues that people are not "idiots," but rather have different communication styles that stem from their core behavioral traits. The book offers insights into how these styles impact perception, communication, and relationships. It highlights the importance of adapting to the listener's needs for more effective interactions. Through real-life examples and analyses, the author encourages readers to be aware of their own behavioral styles and to understand the people around them. It emphasizes the value of recognizing and respecting these differences to achieve better communication.

  What if I told you there was a simple process backed by science which you can do in as little as 20 minutes a day which will lower your stress levels, improve your decision-making skills and relieve your anxiety?  
    
  This Process is Meditation. 
    
  Your audio book is about 3 hours long. I will be presenting the basics of several well-known and trusted meditation practices in overview form. Together we will also be doing some basic exercises. They are similar to one another, but they are not identical. My intention is you get a feeling of the simplicity of them, and how natural it is for you to do the things involved in them. Our body always tell us what is best for us; we are here to retrain ourselves to listen to it. If that is all we learn from this audiobook, then we have learned a great deal. Meditation is not a philosophy; it is a practice. With meditation you're not trying to turn off your thoughts or to expunge feelings. You learn to observe them without judgment. And ultimately to better understand them. With practice, meditation will bring you to the realization you are not your thoughts or feelings; meditation frees you if you've been chained by your thoughts. By simply connecting with and being more aware of yourself, you develop the amazing ability to handle stress, improve your health and increase your intellect.
