Addicted to Outrage: How Thinking Like a Recovering Addict Can Heal the Country by Glenn Beck: Conversation Starters

An outrage incident happened in 1856 when South Carolina congressman Preston Brooks beat up Republican Senator Charles Sumner with his gold head cane. Brooks hated Sumner's politics and thought the only way to retaliate to his vicious speeches is to smash him with his cane. He did not stop until Sumner lay bloodied and unconscious. Author Glenn Beck writes that the division between the two men and their political supporters continued to fester and eventually erupted into the Civil War. Today’s virtual war between the same political parties continues with their use of social media. Glenn Beck likens social media addicts to people addicted to substances. We are all social media addicts and we need to recover, he says.Addicted to Outrage is authored by Beck who has written numerous books, thirteen of which are New York Times #1 bestsellers.

The Checklist Book - Set...

Alexandra Franzen

Master both major and minor tasks—by going back to the basics and writing out a simple checklist. It will change your life.   The checklist is one of the world’s oldest—and most effective—productivity systems. If anything, says entrepreneur Alexandra Franzen, it is just as valuable now as it was during the days of the Roman Empire, allowing us to tangibly plan our day and set in stone what we want to accomplish. There are countless apps and organizational systems promising to help us straighten out our lives, but often they only add to the madness and leave us feeling drained and overwhelmed. Learn how to: · Choose your highest priorities · Set realistic goals · Celebrate tiny wins · Feel calmer every day   By physically writing down our tasks on a single piece of paper, we force ourselves to be realistic and limit how much we can do in a day. Too often, we cram our day with tasks and chores and leave almost no space for self-care or time with loved ones. We end up disappointed in our inability to complete our never-ending to-do list. Checklists help you accomplish what needs to be done—and enjoy things you want to be doing, too.   “There are thousands of books on how to become more organized and productive, but very few have the heart, soul, humor, and gentle encouragement of this book.” —Ellen Fondiler, career and business strategist

Superbugs - An Arms Race against...

William Hall, Anthony McDonnell,...

Antibiotics are powerful drugs that can prevent and treat infections, but they are becoming less effective as a result of drug resistance. Resistance develops because the bacteria that antibiotics target can evolve ways to defend themselves against these drugs. When antibiotics fail, there is very little else to prevent an infection from spreading. 
Unnecessary use of antibiotics in both humans and animals accelerates the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria, with potentially catastrophic personal and global consequences. Our best defenses against infectious disease could cease to work, surgical procedures would become deadly, and we might return to a world where even small cuts are life-threatening. The problem of drug resistance already kills over one million people across the world every year and has huge economic costs. Without action, this problem will become significantly worse. 
Following from their work on the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, William Hall, Anthony McDonnell, and Jim O'Neill outline the major systematic failures that have led to this growing crisis. They also provide a set of solutions to tackle these global issues that governments, industry, and public health specialists can adopt.
