The Closed Partisan Mind - A New...

Matthew D. Luttig

American politics today can be defined by the intense and increasingly toxic divide between Democrats and Republicans. Matthew D. Luttig explores why so many Americans have endorsed this level of political conflict. 
 
 
 
Luttig illustrates how the psychological need for closure leads people, regardless of whether they identify as Democrat or Republican, to express more polarized political attitudes. This association between closed minds and partisan polarization is a new phenomenon and can be traced to broader changes in American society, such as the creation of ideologically distinct political parties and a fragmented media environment. These developments have simplified politics into a black-or-white, us-versus-them, conflict—making politics appeal to those with closed minds. 
 
 
 
Today, strong partisans do not just cheer for their political party to win elections. Instead, more akin to religious true believers, strong partisans use their affiliation as a means of understanding right and wrong, friend and enemy, true and false. The Closed Partisan Mind reveals that these dynamics have manifested in both a new type of partisanship and a new type of partisan. The emergence of this new closed partisanship illustrates the dangers that polarization has wrought on society, politics, and the minds of Americans.

On Bullshit - Anniversary Edition

Harry G. Frankfurt

One of the most prominent features of our world is that there is so much bullshit. Yet we have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, how it’s different from lying, what purposes it serves, and what it means. In his acclaimed bestseller On Bullshit, which was featured on The Daily Show and 60 Minutes, Harry Frankfurt, who was one of the world’s most influential moral philosophers, explores one of the most serious problems of our politics and our world. This twentieth anniversary edition features a postscript in which Frankfurt emphasizes that “indifference to the truth is extremely dangerous.”
With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do—that is, by deliberately making false claims about what’s true. Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Although bullshit can take innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the bullshitter’s capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying doesn’t. Liars at least acknowledge that the truth matters. Because of this, Frankfurt says, “bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.”
Remarkably prescient and insightful, On Bullshit is a small book that explains a great deal about our time.
"Harry G. Frankfurt [was] the world’s foremost authority on bullshit … In our current political climate, [his] words sound prescient to the point of redundancy."—Ron Charles, Washington Post

Marie Kondo’s unique approach to tidying changes lives. Both her book, The Life-changing Magic of Tidying, and her Netflix series have caught the attention – and application – of millions. And those millions sing her praises.
How has this petite Japanese woman persuaded so many people to joyfully and eagerly do what parents have been begging their children to do for ages? Why are people posting pictures on Instagram and Facebook of neatly folded shirts and shorts, lined up in drawers like soldiers, awaiting the opportunity to be put to use by their owner? Is there any way that you, too, could implement her system in your own home and life?
Millions of people have learned from the woman The London Times calls “Japan’s preeminent guru of tidiness, a warrior princess in the war on clutter.” You’ll learn why you can’t seem to stay organized no matter what you’ve tried, in which order to tidy your items, and how to tidy them well (including the KonMari folding technique). You’ll come to understand how and why tidying up can revolutionize your entire life and build the ability to discern what brings you joy.
If you truly resonate with Marie Kondo’s concepts we implore you to buy her full audiobook once you’re done!
