  Compared to much of the rest of the world, America and its citizens are rich. But many people are also deeply miserable—at work, at home, or both. In this provocative book, author John Brueggemann unpacks why so many people are struggling, both emotionally and financially, in a nation that looks so prosperous on the surface.  From a hospital patient reduced to a balance sheet to a parent working such long hours that he misses dinner, Brueggemann argues that market thinking has permeated every corner of our lives. In the pursuit of more and better, relationships erode, to the detriment of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Rich, Free, and Miserable not only outlines these pressing social problems, but also offers practical suggestions for people looking to make a positive change.

  Intelligence is a multifaceted and complex concept that has intrigued scholars, psychologists, and philosophers for centuries. While it is often linked to academic success, intelligence encompasses far more than the ability to solve problems or excel in standardized tests. At its core, intelligence is the capacity to learn, adapt, reason, understand, and apply knowledge to navigate the world around us. Its study has evolved significantly over time, with numerous theories and models aiming to define, measure, and understand it in its various forms. 
    
  The concept of intelligence is not fixed; rather, it changes depending on cultural, environmental, and societal contexts. Different societies may value specific cognitive abilities, such as logical reasoning, creativity, or emotional understanding, over others. This variance has led to the development of numerous theories that attempt to capture the essence of human intelligence. From early psychological studies to contemporary research, the exploration of intelligence continues to spark debate among scholars and practitioners alike.

  Blue - A History of Postpartum...

  New motherhood is often seen as a joyful moment in a woman's life; for some women, it is also their lowest moment. For much of the twentieth century, popular and medical voices blamed women who had emotional and mental distress after childbirth for their own suffering. By the end of the century, though, women with postpartum mental illnesses sought to take charge of this narrative. In Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America, Rachel Louise Moran explores the history of the naming and mainstreaming of postpartum depression. Coalitions of maverick psychiatrists, psychologists, and women who themselves had survived substantial postpartum distress fought to legitimize and normalize women's experiences. They argued that postpartum depression is an objective and real illness and fought to avoid it being politicized alongside other fraught medical and political battles over women's health. 
   
   
   
  Based on insightful oral histories and in-depth archival research, Blue reveals a secret history of American motherhood, women's political activism, and the rise of postpartum depression advocacy amid an often-censorious conservative culture. By breaking new ground with the first book-length history of postpartum mental illness in the twentieth century, Moran brings mothers' battles with postpartum depression out of the shadows and into the light.
