  The Conservative Heart - How to...

  The prominent economist and president of the American Enterprise Institute—the leading intellectual think tank on the right—offers a bold new vision for conservatism as a movement for social and economic justice. 
  In The Conservative Heart, Arthur C. Brooks contends that after years of focusing on economic growth and traditional social values, it is time for a new kind of conservatism—one that helps the vulnerable without mortgaging our children’s future. In Brooks’ daring vision, this conservative movement fights poverty, promotes equal opportunity, celebrates earned success, and values spiritual enlightenment. It is an inclusive movement with a positive agenda to help people lead happier, more hopeful, and more satisfied lives. 
  One of the country’s leading scholars and policy thinkers, Brooks has considered these issues for decades. Drawing on years of research on the sources of happiness, he asserts that what people most need are four “institutions of meaning”—faith, family, community, and meaningful work. These are not only the foundations of personal well-being, but also the necessary means for building a better nation. 
  Combining reporting, original research, and case studies, and free of vituperative politics, The Conservative Heart is an intelligent and compelling manifesto for renewal. Clear, well-reasoned, and accessible, it is a welcome new strategy for disconsolate conservatives looking for fresh, actionable ideas to address the serious problems confronting us today and to reclaim our future, and it is for politically independent citizens who believe that neither political party addresses their needs or concerns.

  The Life of Lycurgus

  Plutarch, Bernadotte Perrin

  Plutarch begins this biography by stating, “Concerning Lycurgus the lawgiver, in general, nothing can be said which is not disputed.” What he recorded captures the essence of Lycurgus and his legacy, if not the unquestionable truth. The great lawgiver founded Sparta after consulting the Oracle of Delphi, and his laws established a totalitarian society that flourished for five hundred years. With this kind of unprecedented success, it is no wonder the man’s legacy became entangled in myths surrounding how he did it.

  Minimum Wage Millionaire...

  The plan works even if you have $0 to your name and currently make minimum wage. 
  If you have nothing to your name and currently only make minimum wage, it can take up to 20 years. 
  Otherwise, if you are already partway there, it will happen faster for you. 
  It might sound sensational, but at the end of the day, setting yourself up for retirement is just a matter of simple math and consistent long-term self-discipline. It is as extremely easy, completely realistic, and actually unavoidable as it is for an obese person who is 200 lbs overweight to lose that weight and keep it off by following a certain diet plan with a certain calorie budget. 
  This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. This is not the crash diet of financial plans. This is a long-term plan that uses the power of consistency, self-discipline, and exponential growth to generate seemingly incredible results over the long-term. But they only seem incredible. Ultimately, it is simple math, and the real power comes simply from you having the self-discipline to follow the plan consistently year after year.
