  Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the role that White Christian Nationalism plays in American society. As White Christian Nationalism has become a major force, and as racial and religious attitudes become increasingly aligned among whites—for example, the more likely you are to say that the decline of white people as a share of the population is "bad for society," the more likely you are to believe the government should support religious values—it has become reasonable to wonder which of the adjectives in the phrase "White Christian Nationalism" takes precedence. 
   
   
   
  In this book, Michael O. Emerson and Glenn E. Bracey II respond definitively: the answer is "white." The majority of white Christians in America, they argue, are believers in a "Religion of Whiteness" that shapes their faith, their politics, and more. The Religion of Whiteness, they argue, raises the perpetuation of racial inequality to a level of spiritual commitment that rivals followers' commitment to Christianity itself. 
   
   
   
  Using national survey data, in-depth interviews, and focus group results gathered over several years, Emerson and Bracey show how the Religion of Whiteness shapes the practice of Christianity for millions of Americans—and what can be done to confront it.

  Many never find happiness at work. Will you? 
  Why are so many people unhappy at work, if they choose the work they do? After teaching as a professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ivey Business School in Canada, Bryan Hong shares his observations based on hundreds of conversations with his students before and after graduation. 
  Although many don't realize it, unhappiness at work is a consequence of the way we've designed our society, especially our education system. Rather than prepare us for genuine success and happiness in life, most of us are never told what we need to know to answer even our most basic life questions. In this book, Dr. Hong shares what everyone who wants to be happier at work-and in life-should know. The first step begins with the most important lesson so many of us never learn in school: We must evolve to our true purpose. 
  In this book, the author explores:How our society works to shape us in ways that will never lead to happiness at workWhat it truly means to have a strong sense of purpose at work, and why we all need it for a life beyond survival and pleasureHow we can evolve to purpose in a world where so many work without it 
  What if there was much more to your life than what you've been told?

  Make no mistake, education in America is undeniably broken and careering off the tracks. This viewpoint is shared from the perspective of a father who had children navigating the education system, a husband with a wife actively contributing to the education system, and an entrepreneur who developed and sold educational resources to public schools around the country. These unique vantage points have provided an invaluable insight into the inner workings of the American education system. 
  This book aims to offer an intimate glimpse behind the curtains, shedding light on the multitude of factors, policy decisions, and political entanglements that have contributed to the current state of our public education system. It serves as a wake-up call, revealing a myriad of issues that the majority of parents are blissfully unaware of, issues that are quietly eroding the foundations of our children's education. In addition to the author's personal experiences, we conducted interviews with 69 former teachers and administrators to gain a comprehensive understanding of how education has evolved over the years, and unfortunately, the findings indicate a negative trend. If parents were aware of these disconcerting revelations, it is safe to assume that they would have legitimate concerns. 
  The purpose of this book is to reveal the true extent of the challenges that plague our education system in America, in the hopes of igniting a collective desire to take action and secure a brighter future for education in our nation.
