Synopsis

The doctrine of familiar spirits was current in most ancient times. It is possible that immediately after the fall in Adam the imprisoned spirit of man began to assert its former freedom and ability. The old Scriptures depicted the witch’s character, gave warning of her blighting influence, and enacted heavy penalties against employing her agency. In Exodus, xxii. 18: “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” In Leviticus, xx. 27: “A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” In Deuteronomy, xviii. 9-12: “When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or any observer of times, or any enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer; for all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.”

    Private Government - How...

    Why our workplaces are authoritarian private governments—and why we can't see it 
     
     
     
    One in four American workers says their workplace is a "dictatorship." Yet that number almost certainly would be higher if we recognized employers for what they are—private governments with sweeping authoritarian power over our lives. Many employers minutely regulate workers' speech, clothing, and manners on the job, and employers often extend their authority to the off-duty lives of workers, who can be fired for their political speech, recreational activities, diet, and almost anything else employers care to govern. In this compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson examines why, despite all this, we continue to talk as if free markets make workers free, and she proposes a better way to think about the workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers can enjoy real freedom.

    On Truth in Politics - Why...

    Do any of us really care about truth when it comes to politics? Should we? In a world of big lies, denialism, and conspiracy theories, democracies are experiencing two interlocked crises: a loss of confidence in democracy itself and the growing sense among many that politics is only about power—not truth. In this book, Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth not only can—but must—matter in politics. He shows why truth is an essential democratic value—a value we need to sustain our democratic way of life—and how it can be strengthened. 
     
     
     
    Despite evidence that people are rarely motivated by truth when it comes to politics, On Truth in Politics argues that this isn't inevitable. Accessibly written and rigorously argued, it draws on the American pragmatist tradition to develop an original theory of the nature and value of truth in the messy world of politics. Contrary to the belief of many, political beliefs can be true or false. But if democracy is to continue to be a space of reason and not just an arena of power, we must build a better infrastructure of knowledge, including stronger schools and media, and renew our commitment to science and history. 
     
     
     
    A vital and timely book, On Truth in Politics makes an original case for why democracy cannot survive without truth.

    Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation's short attention span. The chapters in this small book can be read in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote, and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don't need to be a Buddhist to find the Buddha's teachings motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are." 
    So whether it's Mother Teresa's acts of charity, Gandhi's perseverance, or your aunt Betty's calm demeanor, as long as you're motivated to be better today than you were yesterday, it doesn't matter who inspires you. Regardless of religion, geographical region, race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, flexibility, or vulnerability, if you do good you feel good, and if you do bad you feel bad. 
    Buddhism isn't just about meditating. It's about rolling up your sleeves to relieve some of the suffering in the world. If you are ready to be a soldier of peace in the army of love, welcome to Buddhist Boot Camp!

    Trust Thyself. Every Heart Vibrates to That Iron String.
    
    In an age of overwhelming social pressure and inherited traditions, Ralph Waldo Emerson issued a revolutionary manifesto for the soul. Self-Reliance and Other Essays represents the heartbeat of American Transcendentalism, challenging every reader to look inward for truth rather than toward the dictates of the crowd. This collection gathers the foundational thoughts of a man who believed that to be great is to be misunderstood.
    
    
    
    Within these pages, you will explore the pillars of Emersonian thought:
    
    The Doctrine of Individualism: A powerful defense of personal intuition over social imitation, urging you to "insist on yourself; never imitate."
    
    The Living Universe: Emerson's profound meditations on Nature, viewing the physical world not just as a resource, but as a gateway to spiritual enlightenment and a mirror for the human mind.
    
    The Over-Soul and Universal Unity: An exploration of the shared spiritual force that connects all living beings, suggesting that every individual contains a spark of the divine.
    
    The Rejection of Consistency: A bold call to live in the "now," discarding the "hobgoblin of little minds"—foolish consistency—in favor of authentic, present-moment growth.
    
    Emerson's prose is a masterclass in aphoristic brilliance—sentences that spark like lightning and remain etched in the mind. His work is the cornerstone of American philosophy and an essential roadmap for anyone seeking personal autonomy, creative inspiration, and a deeper spiritual connection to the world.
