For over two thousand years, this question has captivated thinkers, leaders, and dreamers alike. In The Republic, Plato—through the voice of Socrates—takes you on a journey into the heart of truth, justice, and the search for the perfect society. From the Allegory of the Cave to the vision of the Philosopher-King, this timeless work continues to challenge and inspire.

Inside, you'll explore:

The true meaning of justice and morality

The foundations of government and society

Why wisdom, not power, should guide leadership

Ideas that influenced modern democracy and philosophy

Whether you are a student, a thinker, or simply a lover of the classics, The Republic remains one of the most influential books ever written. Its wisdom is as urgent today as it was in ancient Athens.

    The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
     
     
     
    Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
     
     
     
    The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.

    Humans produce what the aliens crave. They keep us on factory farms. They pump us full of glorious hormones. 
    It began with a physical exam. They probed and explored my body while making me watch a terrifying video. 
    Then they put me in a holding cell with my new companion—a computer that can read my mind. 
    It doesn’t matter what I say, it knows how to influence and manipulate me. It’s designed to milk me dry. That’s why I’m here—I’m livestock. 
    Day by day, I can feel my body morphing. The need to be milked grows stronger and stronger. I’m no longer a man. 
    I’m a hucow.

    A healthy and united America--perhaps a country more united than it has ever been--is truly possible, and it starts with us. John Kingston draws on wisdom from history, science, faith, and culture, along with his own experiences, to offer eight principles for discovering purpose, meaning, and true community.  
    We live in the greatest peace and prosperity that the world has ever known, but Americans are feeling more division, isolation, depression, and despair than ever before. These are issues of the soul. We seem unable to find purpose and meaning. We can't find "the life that is truly life"--a vibrant and purpose-filled way of living best experienced together. 
    From his youth, Kingston has always carried a vision for a free and united America. With an approachable and conversational style, as well as a dash of humor, Kingston draws on a diverse and compelling collection of wisdom--the parables of the Bible and the philosophy of Aristotle, the legacy of Nelson Mandela and the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, the songs of Bruce Springsteen and current studies from the best neuro and social scientists today--to remind us that there is no "them," there is only us, and we're in this together. 
    In American Awakening, Kingston offers eight timeless principles for breaking through this darkness and despair and cultivating a radical togetherness, both here in this country and around the globe. You'll discover the profound impact of:In-person connectionMaking more from lessDiscovering purposeRedeeming adversityResponding instead of reactingFinding your unique sense of belonging 
    Wherever you find yourself politically or spiritually, a healthy and united America starts with you. Join the Awakening movement and let's rediscover who we are--together.

    Book Summary of "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari 
     
    Important note: This is not the original book. This is a book summary of the following book: 
    Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari 
    About 
    Our species, Homo sapiens, started out as just another insignificant animal—among countless others. But at some point, homo sapiens made a rapid jump to domination over all other species. This rapid rise has left humanity anxious, destructive, and often miserable—despite all our efforts to be happy. Yuval Noah Harari's book 'Sapiens,' traces the origins and effects of what we think of as “human progress” from small bands of hunter-gatherers 100,000 years ago to the present-day global network through which our species has come to dominate the Earth. This bird's-eye view of human history delves into the development of sapiens' social organization and the structural features of human cultures through which our species has spread and evolved, including breakthroughs like human language, the use of human imagination, and the rise of the concept of a better future that lies just beyond the horizon. Through these mechanisms, our species has evolved into a species that's increasingly in control of our own destiny. This book considers how this evolution has occurred, whether this progress has been beneficial, and what the future might hold for our species. 
     
    Here's what you'll learn about in this summary:  
    —How our species has evolved, not just biologically, but socially. 
    —How history, overall, is moving in the direction of global unity of humankind. 
    —How none of the outcomes of history have been inevitable, and the flexible nature of the social order may mean that our species can control its destiny.
