  How to Do the Right Thing - An...

  How ancient Stoicism can help teach us to treat others—and ourselves—more fairly and mercifully 
   
   
   
  There are times when we've all felt that we haven't been treated as we deserve—that we've been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we've treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help listeners better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life—how to do right by others. 
   
   
   
  Starting from the virtue of magnanimity—the opposite of small-mindedness—How to Do the Right Thing draws together lessons from Seneca's writings that stress the importance of calm and clear thinking, of judging oneself fairly before judging others, and of cutting people slack, with a bias toward mercy—all delivered in crisp and lively new translations.

  Red Is Democrat: What Happens When a Party Forgets to Change 
  by Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD 
  Do today's Democrats really stand for the values they claim—equality, justice, science, compassion? Or have those ideals become a smokescreen for something far more troubling? 
  In Red Is Democrat, Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD, takes readers on a bold, meticulously documented journey behind the public image of America’s Democrat Party. With clarity and conviction, he examines the disconnect between the party’s professed values and its actual policies and historical trajectory. What emerges is a revealing look at how a powerful political movement has managed to sidestep accountability—often by rewriting its own past and projecting its faults onto others. 
  Have the parties really flipped? Or is that narrative a carefully constructed myth? Why do so many of the injustices Democrats say they oppose—racism, intolerance, misogyny, injustice, greed, and so forth—persist within their own ranks? And how can ordinary Americans across the political spectrum cut through the noise to find the truth? 
  Whether you identify as a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or simply a concerned citizen, this book invites you to look past slogans, scrutinize the record, and reconsider what it really means to stand for justice and truth in public life.
