  In recent decades, cognitive psychologists have cast new light on human development and given colleges new possibilities for helping students acquire skills and qualities that will enhance their lives and increase their contributions to society. In this landmark book, Derek Bok explores how colleges can reap the benefits of these discoveries and create a more robust undergraduate curriculum for the twenty-first century.Prior to this century, most psychologists thought that creativity, empathy, resilience, conscientiousness, and most personality traits were largely fixed by early childhood. What researchers have now discovered is that virtually all of these qualities continue to change through early adulthood and often well beyond. Such findings suggest that educators may be able to do much more than was previously thought possible to teach students to develop these important characteristics and thereby enable them to flourish in later life.In Higher Expectations, Bok identifies the hurdles to institutional change, proposes sensible reforms, and demonstrates how our colleges can help students lead more successful, productive, and meaningful lives.

  Why President Trump has left us with no choice but to remove him from office, as explained by celebrated Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal. No one is above the law. This belief is as American as freedom of speech and turkey on Thanksgiving—held sacred by Democrats and Republicans alike. But as celebrated Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal argues in Impeach, if President Trump is not held accountable for repeatedly asking foreign powers to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, this could very well mark the end of our democracy. To quote President George Washington’s Farewell Address: “Foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.” Impeachment should always be our last resort, explains Katyal, but our founders, our principles, and our Constitution leave us with no choice but to impeach President Trump—before it’s too late.  Read by Christopher Ryan GrantCHRISTOPHER RYAN GRANT  is an actor and voice artist based in New York City.

  Debacle - Obama's War on Jobs...

  During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama promised time after  time "a net spending cut" to make government smaller in order to  cut the deficit. But the huge increase in government spending and  debt, and the resulting higher future taxes will make America a  poorer country. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the  deficits that President Obama proposes for the years from 2011  through 2020 come to a staggering $126,000 per family of four. That  is on top of the $35,000 per family already chalked up under the  first two years of Obama's administration. But has all the new  government been worth it? Are Americans happier because the  government has determined where this money should be spent? The  answer is clearly no.   Obama's economic policies have raised unemployment, slowed  economic growth, dramatically raised the national debt, squandered  taxpayer money through poor investments, and further damaged the  housing market. The economy will eventually grow, though slowly.  The No Tax Pledge will explain why Obama's policies on  spending, taxes, regulation have all worked to harm the recovery,  increased unemployment, and depressed housing prices. This debate  is part of a broader debate over Keynesian economics most notably  involving Paul Krugman in the New York Times. The authors  plan on dissecting these arguments and explaining why Keynesianism  represents more a way of transferring wealth to desired political  constituencies than it provides a legitimate economic theory for  how the economy operates.
