We examine the American Erfolgsmythos, the dark sides of the American psyche, and the resilience of the American spirit.

We delve into American heroes and villains, the myths and legends that shape the American imagination, and the power of propaganda. We investigate the American body and mind, the cult of thinness, the medicalization of American society, and the intersection of health and identity.

We investigate American education and the workplace, the history of American education, the changing nature of work, and the future of education and work in America.

We conclude with a look at American hopes and dreams for the future, American exceptionalism, the future of American leadership in the world, and the challenges facing the United States. We explore the hopes and dreams of the American people and the American journey that continues.

    “Hearing Dr. Tweedy speak was less of a lecture and more of an open invitation to engage in a meaningful conversation with a passionate caregiver. Dr. Tweedy’s personal stories prompted a ton of reflection on compassion, mental health, patient-centered care, and our own identity-related biases. These insights are invaluable as we return to our clinical settings, better equipped to care with and for our patients.” — Megan Walsh, Program Manager DEI, Case Western Reserve University, Medical SchoolA NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S TOP TEN NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE YEARA LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK SELECTION • A BOOKLIST EDITORS' CHOICE BOOK SELECTIONThis program is read by the author.One doctor's passionate and profound memoir of his experience grappling with race, bias, and the unique health problems of black AmericansWhen Damon Tweedy begins medical school, he envisions a bright future where his segregated, working-class background will become largely irrelevant. Instead, he finds that he has joined a new world where race is front and center. The recipient of a scholarship designed to increase black student enrollment, Tweedy soon meets a professor who bluntly questions whether he belongs in medical school, a moment that crystallizes the challenges he will face throughout his career. Making matters worse, in lecture after lecture the common refrain for numerous diseases resounds, "More common in blacks than in whites."Black Man in a White Coat examines the complex ways in which both black doctors and patients must navigate the difficult and often contradictory terrain of race and medicine. As Tweedy transforms from student to practicing physician, he discovers how often race influences his encounters with patients. Through their stories, he illustrates the complex social, cultural, and economic factors at the root of many health problems in the black community. These issues take on greater meaning when Tweedy is himself diagnosed with a chronic disease far more common among black people. In this powerful, moving, and deeply empathic book, Tweedy explores the challenges confronting black doctors, and the disproportionate health burdens faced by black patients, ultimately seeking a way forward to better treatment and more compassionate care.A Macmillan Audio production from Picador.

    At just 13 years old, Darnell Davis took the stand as the key witness in a murder trial that would send his father to prison for life. That moment didn’t just break his family—it fractured his sense of self, setting off years of pain, anger, and isolation. The 7 Wonders of Me is Darnell’s raw and revelatory memoir of what came after: the slow, spiritual excavation of his soul—and the courageous rebuilding of a life once lost to trauma. 
    More than a memoir, this book is a healing companion. Structured around the seven chakras, The 7 Wonders of Me charts Darnell’s path from survival to self-realization—beginning with the root chakra’s call for safety and trust, and culminating in the crown chakra’s invitation to live with purpose and divine connection. Each chapter offers not just gripping personal stories, but also the insights, practices, and breakthroughs that helped him rise. 
    Whether you are walking through your own fire or seeking a deeper connection to who you are, The 7 Wonders of Me is a soul-deep guide back to your light. With equal parts spiritual wisdom and hard-won truth, this is a book for anyone ready to turn their pain into power. 
    Perfect for readers of self-help, memoir, and spiritual growth, The 7 Wonders of Me is a testament to resilience, radical honesty, and the liberating power of self-love.

    Secret Powers and Why We Shouldn't Use Them by Manly P. Hall is a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden abilities within human consciousness and the moral, ethical, and spiritual implications of their misuse. Drawing from esoteric traditions, philosophy, and psychology, Hall delves into the nature of these powers, such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and other psychic phenomena, emphasizing their potential to disrupt personal and universal harmony if wielded irresponsibly. Through a balanced perspective, he advocates for self-discipline, ethical development, and a commitment to spiritual growth as prerequisites for engaging with these latent abilities. The work serves as both a cautionary tale and an invitation to introspection, encouraging readers to align with universal principles of integrity and wisdom before attempting to unlock their hidden potential.
