  Since the 2002 implementation of No Child Left Behind, the American public education system has been fundamentally changed. Excessive testing, standardized curriculums, destructive demands on children, corporate-­style evaluations, and top-­down mandates have become the norm. In response, record numbers of demoralized educators have quit, and millions of students have been left educationally impoverished. This troubling transformation has been exhaustively critiqued by scholars and commentators. Yet one crucial voice has been missing. 
   
   
   
  In Testing Education, Kathy Greeley recounts the impact of education reform from a teacher's point of view. Based on a teaching career ranging nearly forty years, Greeley details how schools went from learning communities infused with excitement, intellectual stimulation, and joy to sterile spaces of stress, intimidation, and fear. In this ultimately hopeful memoir, Greeley asks us to learn from the past to reimagine the future of public education.

  "Elegant and enlightening." —Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal 
   
   
    
  Phocion (402–318 BCE) won Athens's highest public office by direct democratic election an unmatched forty-five times and was officially honored as a "Useful Citizen." A student at Plato's Academy, Phocion gained influence and power during a time when Athens faced multiple crises stemming from Macedonia's emergence as an international power under Philip II and his son Alexander the Great. Following Athens's defeat by Macedonia, Phocion unsuccessfully sought mild terms of surrender. Oligarchy was imposed on democratic Athens, and more than twelve thousand "undesirable" Athenians were exiled. When the oligarchic regime was overthrown and the exiles returned, dispossessed Athenians took out their volcanic anger on Phocion, who throughout his career had often been a harsh critic of the citizens' political decisions. His inflammatory rhetoric contributed to the popular conclusion that he lacked a genuine sense of belonging to the community he wished so desperately to preserve. When he was eighty-four, the Athenians convicted him of treason and condemned him to die by hemlock. In this fresh biography, Thomas R. Martin explores how and why Phocion ultimately failed as a citizen and as a leader. His story offers unsettling lessons for citizens in democracies today.

  "Keep religion and politics separate!" For decades, scholars assumed that less religion would lead to a more peaceful and unified form of politics. And yet, as religious identity recedes from American public life, the opposite appears to be the case. Our post-religious politics are growing more polarized, anxious, and unstable each day. Could a return to ancient religious wisdom and community be the key to healing what secular politics can't fix? 
  In Can Religion Save Democracy? two friends and colleagues—a Christian theologian and a Muslim political scientist—make a bold case: If American democracy is going to survive, it will require more religion, not less. Drawing on wisdom from their respective religious traditions, they explorewhy secularism has only deepened our divides,what ancient insights from Christianity and Islam can strengthen our common life,how spiritual practices contribute something critical and irreplaceable to democracy, andhow citizens can navigate a new world of deep polarization and mistrust. 
   
  This is not a call for theocracy or religious authoritarianism. It's a hopeful, clear-eyed vision showing how religious faith offers vital tools to renew the soul of democracy in a divided nation.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if leadership were determined not by hustle, but by serenity? If you no longer had to control – but could let go? And still lead more clearly, better, more stably? 
   
  That is Stoic leadership. Not self-optimization. Not performance pressure. But an inner attitude that has worked for millennia. 
   
  This audiobook is your calm companion. An experienced mentor speaks to you – not pushing, but stabilizing. You will learn how to use the dichotomy of control in daily leadership, how to understand emotions instead of suppressing them, and how to make decisions in uncertainty – without inner restlessness. 
   
  What awaits you: 
  • The Stoic foundations: dichotomy of control, virtue, emotions 
  • Self-leadership: serenity under pressure, mental discipline 
  • Making decisions in uncertainty 
  • Leading people: respect, feedback, conflicts 
  • Power, success, and failure – Amor Fati 
  • Leadership in crises, stress, and resistance 
   
  For all leaders who want to become clearer, not faster. For managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who bears responsibility. You cannot control everything. But you can control how you lead.
