Summary

"Unusual Time Perceptions" explores the fascinating ways humans experience time, revealing that our perception is subjective and influenced by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and cultural factors. The book delves into the science and psychology behind why time feels different under varying circumstances. For example, during crises, many report "time slowing down," a phenomenon linked to heightened emotional states and cognitive processing. It also examines how different cultures view time – some prioritizing the past, present, or future – impacting communication and behavior. The book progresses from the neurological mechanisms responsible for timekeeping in the brain to psychological influences like emotions and memory, and finally to cultural interpretations of temporality. Understanding our subjective experience of time is crucial for appreciating the breadth of human experience. The discussion draws from experimental psychology, neuroscience research, and anthropological studies. By integrating neurological, psychological, and cultural perspectives, "Unusual Time Perceptions" offers a holistic understanding of how we perceive and experience time, making it valuable to those interested in psychology, neuroscience, and cultural studies.

    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.

    Cross Purposes - Christianity's...

    What happens to American democracy if Christianity is no longer able, or no longer willing, to perform the functions on which our constitutional order depends? In this provocative book, the award-winning journalist Jonathan Rauch—a lifelong atheist—reckons candidly with both the shortcomings of secularism and the corrosion of Christianity. Thin Christianity, as Rauch calls the mainline church, has been unable to inspire and retain believers. Worse, a Church of Fear has distorted white evangelicalism in ways that violate the tenets of both Jesus and James Madison. What to do? For answers, Rauch looks to a new generation of religious thinkers, as well as to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has placed the Constitution at the heart of its spiritual teachings. 
 
 
 
In this timely critique Rauch addresses secular Americans who think Christianity can be abandoned, and Christian Americans who blame secular culture for their grievances. The two must work together to confront our present crisis. He calls on Christians to recommit to the teachings of their faith that align with Madison, not MAGA, and to understand that liberal democracy, far from being oppressive, is uniquely protective of religious freedom. At the same time, he calls on secular liberals to understand that healthy religious institutions are crucial to the survival of the liberal state.
