  Many of the systems built to serve people instead do more harm than good. 
   
   
   
  In Broken, Dr. Paul LeBlanc, president of Southern New Hampshire University, draws on his experience working in one such system—education—to reconnect us to the human facets of serving people. In doing so, he charts a course for rebuilding and reinhabiting better systems across education, healthcare, criminal justice, government, and more. 
   
   
   
  The United States spends enormous sums on helping people—$3.8 trillion on healthcare, $182 billion on prisons, and $604 billion on higher education—and yet these systems routinely fail us. 
   
   
   
  When we seek to improve how they function, our efforts focus on policy debates, technical solutions, funding, and data. But if these systems are to truly improve, we have to start with the human values that fuel decision making. 
   
   
    
  Broken explores the deeply human dimensions we must consider—aspiring, discovering, mattering—if we want to rebuild the policies, technologies, processes, and, most importantly, the heart we use to serve people.

  As one of the seminal social revolutions in human history, the French Revolution holds a unique legacy, especially in the West. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. 
  The early years of the French Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. 
  The height of Republican France’s tyranny came during a 10 month period forever known as the Reign of Terror, the most notorious and arguably most memorable part of the French Revolution. One of the first victims of the Reign of Terror was its most famous: former French Queen Marie Antoinette. But Antoinette was followed by thousands more, including everyone from aristocrats to clergy to prostitutes and even instrumental revolutionaries like Danton, Desmoulins, and, most notably, Robespierre. It was Robespierre whose position on the Committee of Public Safety made him the Reign of Terror’s instrumental figure until he himself became a victim of it in July 1794. Robespierre’s date with the guillotine is often considered the official end of the Reign of Terror, but by then it is estimated that at least 16,000 people were guillotined in that time and possibly 25,000 more were summarily executed across the country.

  Your environment is not neutral — it’s shaping your focus, creativity, and mood every second. How to Build Spaces That Think for You explores the psychology of design and how small, deliberate changes in light, sound, temperature, and layout can reprogram the way you think. This isn’t interior decoration; it’s cognitive architecture. Drawing from environmental psychology and neuroscience, it reveals how rooms can either drain your attention or amplify it — and how to make focus the default state. 
  From designing workspaces that sustain deep concentration to creating restorative zones that encourage recovery, this book offers a blueprint for aligning space with intention. The goal isn’t aesthetic perfection — it’s behavioral precision. Because when your environment supports your mind, discipline feels effortless and creativity becomes instinctive. You don’t just live in a space — you collaborate with it.

  Festivals played a central role in the cultural and religious life of ancient Egypt. These grand celebrations were not just an occasion for communal enjoyment but were deeply tied to the spiritual and societal fabric of the civilization. They served as a means of honoring gods and goddesses, ensuring the prosperity of the land, and reinforcing the divine order, which was vital for the Egyptians. The festivals helped to maintain cosmic balance and provided a way for the people to connect with the divine. 
  The ancient Egyptians viewed the natural and spiritual worlds as intricately linked. Their gods were believed to control all aspects of life, from the annual flooding of the Nile to the harvests and the afterlife. Therefore, festivals were seen as essential in securing divine favor and maintaining order. These events allowed the people to express their devotion, offering prayers, sacrifices, and rituals to appease the gods. For instance, the Festival of Opet, one of the most significant, symbolized the renewal of the king’s power and his bond with the gods. It was an opportunity for the people to reassert their allegiance to the pharaoh, who was seen as the living deity on earth. 
  In addition to reinforcing the divine relationship, festivals also played a key role in community cohesion. The ancient Egyptians, despite the challenges of life, were brought together by shared rituals and celebrations. This unity was expressed in grand processions, feasts, music, and dance, where the people could experience a sense of collective identity. These events transcended social status and served as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all people under the divine. Festivals were not just for the elite but were a part of the communal life, extending to all citizens, from farmers to nobles.
