  In this gripping whistleblower account of FBI corruption and malfeasance, Greg Dillon—veteran state investigator and former FBI agent—finds himself caught up in an FBI misconduct scandal resulting in coverups, retaliation, a federal trial, and a landmark court ruling. 
   
   
   
  When Greg Dillon is assigned to a federal fugitive task force in Connecticut, he inadvertently uncovers a pattern of misconduct and falsified affidavits. After reporting his concerns to the politically connected but incompetent chief state's attorney, the whistleblower finds himself a target of reprisal. Investigated, transferred, demoted, and threatened, Dillon hires an attorney, and—with the assistance of legendary whistleblower Frank Serpico—takes on both the state of Connecticut and the Department of Justice in federal court, resulting in an explosive verdict and a significant court ruling.

  Populism and Democracy - How...

  Populism, as a political phenomenon, has seen a significant resurgence in recent decades, challenging both traditional political structures and the established norms of democratic governance. It is a term often used to describe political movements or leaders who claim to represent "the people" against a corrupt or out-of-touch elite. The central tenet of populism lies in its rhetoric, which typically divides society into two antagonistic groups: the virtuous, ordinary people and the corrupt, self-serving elite. These populist movements tap into widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo, offering simple, direct solutions to complex political and economic issues. The appeal of populism is particularly potent in times of economic instability, social division, or perceived political disillusionment, providing a voice to those who feel marginalized or neglected by traditional political parties. 
  Democracy, on the other hand, is founded on principles of inclusivity, pluralism, and the protection of rights. The democratic system is built upon checks and balances, where power is distributed across various institutions to prevent any one entity from gaining too much control. The rule of law and respect for civil liberties are central to the functioning of democratic societies. While democracy inherently embraces political diversity and disagreement, it relies on established norms and values, such as the protection of minority rights, the independence of the judiciary, and the free exchange of ideas.

  Who are libraries for, how have they evolved, and why do they fill so many roles in our society today? 
   
   
   
  Based on firsthand experiences from six years of professional work as a librarian in high-poverty neighborhoods of Washington, DC, as well as interviews and research, Overdue begins with Oliver's first day at an "unusual" branch: Northwest One. 
   
   
   
  Using her experience at this branch allows Oliver to highlight the national problems that have existed in libraries since they were founded: racism, segregation, and class inequalities. These age-old problems have evolved into police violence, the opioid epidemic, rampant houselessness, and lack of mental health care nationwide—all of which come to a head in public library spaces. 
   
   
    
  Can public librarians continue to play the many roles they are tasked with? Can American society sustain one of its most noble institutions? 
   
   
   
  Pushing against hundreds of years of stereotypes, romanticization, and discomfort with a call to reckoning, Overdue will change the way you think about libraries forever.

  10-Minute Summary of "EMOTIONAL...

  Daniel Goleman

  In his book “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ”, Daniel Goleman explores the importance of emotional skills in personal, professional, and social life. He argues that emotional intelligence (EI) is a crucial factor for success and well-being, often more influential than intelligence quotient (IQ). 
  Through examples, case studies, and scientific analysis, Goleman breaks down the components of EI and its impact on various aspects of life, challenging the traditional view that separates reason from emotion and emphasizing the need to integrate both in education and society.  
  Additionally, Goleman examines how emotional intelligence influences decision-making. According to him, emotions play a crucial role in the decision-making process, helping us quickly assess situations and make decisions based on past experiences. 
  For example, “emotional hijacking” is a phenomenon in which the amygdala, a part of the brain associated with emotions, takes control and triggers impulsive responses before the neocortex, the brain's rational part, can fully process the information. While useful in emergencies, this mechanism can lead to hasty decisions in modern contexts.  
  Goleman also discusses the importance of emotional intelligence in preventing antisocial and criminal behaviors. According to the author, many problematic behaviors, such as aggression and delinquency, are linked to low emotional intelligence. 
  People who lack emotional skills often struggle to manage their impulses and empathize with others, which can lead to destructive behaviors. Goleman cites studies showing that violent criminals often have a history of emotional neglect and lack of attention in childhood, emphasizing the importance of early emotional education.
