Synopsis

Before there was "Chicken Soup for the Soul" or "The Secret," there was a condemned Roman aristocrat writing philosophy by candlelight while awaiting execution. Meet Boethius: Rome's most overachieving nerd who went from Senate superstar to death row philosopher faster than you can say "political conspiracy."In "PRISON PHILOSOPHY," you'll discover:
 
How Boethius invented the self-help genre while literally awaiting execution (talk about deadline pressure!)
 
Why Fortune is basically that toxic friend who builds you up just to watch you fall
 
How to find happiness according to a guy who was objectively in one of the least happy situations imaginable
 
The mind-bending solution to free will vs. divine foreknowledge that's kept philosophy professors employed for 1500 years
 
Why kings, monks, and scholars all suddenly decided prison writings were the hottest thing in medieval town
 
How to apply "The Consolation of Philosophy" without the inconvenience of imprisonment or execution
 
Part biography, part philosophical roast, and part genuine life advice, this irreverent guide transforms Boethius's dense philosophical classic into a laugh-out-loud exploration of life's biggest questions. You'll learn how a man who lost everything—wealth, freedom, and eventually his head—managed to write a book so influential it would be read for the next thousand years.Whether you're facing your own wheel of fortune or just enjoy philosophical humor that doesn't take itself too seriously, "PRISON PHILOSOPHY" delivers ancient wisdom with modern wit. Because sometimes the best life advice comes from someone having a worse day than you.Warning: May cause uncontrollable laughter, unexpected philosophical insights, and the sudden urge to write your memoirs the next time you're mildly inconvenienced.

    Queen Mary Stuart was one of the most beloved and controversial women in Scottish history. The granddaughter of King James IV and his wife Margaret Tudor, Queen Mary's status as heiress-apparent to Queen Elizabeth's throne in England paired with the violence of the Scottish Reformation set the stage for one of the most dramatic and poorly understood lives of the 16th century. Mary Queen of the Scots tells Mary's true story, focusing primarily on her reign as queen of Scotland, celebrating her life more than her death and showing us all why she was truly a woman ahead of her time. 
    Features period music and a special music appendix expertly performed by Steven Vox.

    Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation's student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt. 
     
     
      
    Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans' college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for it themselves. Berman explains how this enormous shift happened, which industries benefit from it, and what it means for college-going Americans today.
