  Crime and Punishment in the...

  Even though the colonists eventually broke free from Great Britain, plenty of British customs and practices affected the fledgling United States, particularly when it came to law. While the most notable ramifications can be found in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids illegal searches and seizures by the government, the extensive legal background from Britain impacted how American lawyers and courts operated as well, even as legal codes differed considerably from colony to colony because of their charters. The local codes had to broadly conform with the current laws in England, and the early equivalent of the Colonial Office examined colonial laws if someone sued. Laws found to be inconsistent with English practice were sometimes voided.  
  	On paper, the New England codes were extremely harsh, but in practice, they were often mildly enforced, if enforced at all. One law on the books was that a son could be executed if he cursed his parents, but no one was ever executed for it. Many crimes were offenses against public decorum, but there was a wide range of things considered misbehaviors. Punishments varied but tended to be either financial or public, with humiliation and shame being a large part of it.  
  	Conversely, while the New Englanders tended to base their codes on the Old Testament, in Pennsylvania, the Quaker establishment sought to reform criminals rather than punish them. Consequently, they probably had the least number of capital offenses of any place in the English-speaking world. Furthermore, over time, the list of what constituted crimes changed somewhat, as did the emphasis. The fast growth of populations brought large numbers of immigrants and indentured servants and a more complex society. Diversity increased, and the rise of slavery concentrated in (but was not limited to) the Southern colonies, bringing with it codes of law to control slaves and deal with offenses committed by them.

  The Angry Therapist who has helped thousands of men find more happiness in their relationships and more purpose in their lives now shares his insights with everyone in this powerful guide—self-help in a shotglass—covering essential topics, from vulnerability and posturing to workouts and women. 
   
  Deep in post-divorce soul searching, John Kim came to an astonishing realization: he was a miserable f*ck who might just be to blame for the problems in his life. Armed with this new insight, he began The Angry Therapist blog—an admission that, while he was a licensed therapist and life coach, he was no better than the people who sought his advice. In his first post, “My Fucking Feelings,” he wrote about the struggles and shortcomings that had led him to this point. As his work caught on, catapulting him into the role of unlikely and unconventional guide for thousands of people all over the world, Kim evolved from behaving like a boy to living like a man—and showed his clients how to do so as well. 
  In I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, Kim delivers the dos and don’ts for stepping up and into manhood, which he defines by transparency and strength of character, not six-pack abs or a corner office. With his signature no-nonsense approach that will make you laugh and think, Kim takes you on a rugged, rough and tumble road trip of self-exploration and discovery, sharing his wisdom and insights, such as why:Being nice is for boys, and being kind is for menScheduling man dates could make you a better friend, lover, and human beingPeeing in the shower is a sign of a larger problemArguing, judging, and answering, “I dunno” are keeping you from a healthy relationship, a great career, and a happy life 
  We are not born men. We are born boys. The transition from misery to meaning is an internal process that requires work: reflection, pain, courage, and sometimes, a rebirth. Kim knows because he’s been there. The truth is, men weren’t meant to just pay bills and die. With this audiobook as your guide, you will love hard, walk tall, and find a life filled with purpose and passion.

  "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" aka "Civil Disobedience" is a seminal essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849 under the title "Resistance to Civil Government." 
  As you listen to the reading of "Civil Disobedience," consider the historical context of mid-19th century America, a time of intense political and moral upheaval. The issues that Thoreau addresses—justice, government, and personal responsibility—are as relevant today as they were during his lifetime.
