  White Hot Light - Twenty-Five...

  Another “pitch-perfect book of short essays” (New York Times Book Review) from the acclaimed author of Blood of Strangers, this one exploring the contemporary practice of medicine from the perspective of a doctor with 25 years of experience in the ER. 
   
  In the late 1990s, a young physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, published a stunning memoir of his experiences in the highly charged world of the ER. Presented in a series of powerful, poetic vignettes, The Blood of Strangers became an instant classic.  
  Now, over two decades later, Dr. Frank Huyler delivers another dispatch from the trenches—this time from the perspective of middle age. In portraits visceral, haunting, sometimes surreal, Huyler reveals the gritty reality of medicine practiced on the razor’s edge between life and death.  
  From the doomed, like the Iraq vet with a brain full of shrapnel, to the self-destructive, like the young woman who inserts a sewing needle into her heart, to the transcendent, like the homeless Navajo artist whose sketches charm the nurses, Huyler assembles a profound mosaic of human suffering and grace, complemented by episodes from his personal life: the hail that fell the night his wife gave birth, his drive through a snowstorm to see his father in a Colorado ER, the beautiful wedding of his childhood friend with terminal cancer. Melding hard-earned wisdom with a poet’s crystalline vision, Huyler evokes the awesome burden of responsibility, the exhaustion, the relief of a costume disco nurse party, and those rare occasions when the confluence of luck and science yield, in the author’s words, “moments of breathtaking greatness.”   
  White Hot Light offers an unforgettable portrait of a field that illuminates society at its most vulnerable, and its most elemental.

  Students speak up about American education in this book from 826 National, the celebrated tutoring center founded by Dave Eggers and Nínive Calegari.   This unique volume collects personal essays, letters, and stories by dozens of high school students who were given the chance to speak their minds about their own education. From letters to their teachers to essays and vignettes inspired by the works of James Baldwin and Sherman Alexie, this collection of student writing contains startling insights for educators, parents, and anyone invested in our future.  Be Honest includes writing from students across the country, of every ethnic group and financial bracket: A girl from an immigrant family is put in an ESL class even though her English is fluent; an African American boy talks about the social pressures that prevent him from asking his teacher for help; and a privileged private school student describes his transition to public school—and reports that he was able to learn more with the increased freedom it brought.   The newest book from 826 National, the celebrated organization founded by Dave Eggers and Nínive Calegari, coauthors of the bestselling Teachers Have It Easy—is a much-needed addition to the current national conversation about our schools.   “826 helps young people learn that language can be play, that work can be joyful, and that they themselves can be the inventors and caretakers of their world. I have seen it with my own eyes.” —Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

  Buy now to get the insights from Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind. 
    
  Sample Insights: 
  1) Many people wonder what the roots of morality are. The nativist approach states that morality is innate, that is, we are born knowing right from wrong, whereas the empiricist approach suggests that morality comes from childhood learning. 
  2) There is the possibility of a third approach: the rationalist approach. It suggests that morality is entirely self-constructed by children based on their own experiences with harm. Children learn that harm is wrong because they hate being hurt. Therefore, they won’t harm others because they understand it’s unfair and cruel.

  Summary, Analysis & Review of Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by InstareadPreview:The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by blogger Mark Manson is a candid self-help guide for anyone who needs a dose of inspired but realistic perspective on their path of self-development. Manson’s personal experience in self-improvement is the cornerstone of his philosophy. He argues that people should learn to care less—or in his parlance, give fewer fucks—about things in life that don’t really matter, such as material possessions or other people’s opinions, and to care more about the priorities that do matter, such as solid relationships and finding genuine happiness.According to most self-help literature, maintaining a positive outlook is paramount. Yet often, when people try to look only at the bright side of situations, they ignore reality. This denial creates more problems because it keeps people from responding effectively to the less than savory aspects of their character and the more challenging parts of their…PLEASE NOTE: This is a Summary, Analysis & Review of the book and NOT the original book.Inside this Summary, Analysis & Review of Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Instaread· Overview of the Book· Important People· Key Takeaways· &nbs
