How do we overcome polarization in American society? How do we advocate for justice when one side won't listen to the other and cycles of outrage escalate?  These questions have been pressing for years, but the events of January 6, 2021 and the emergence of a vocal, virulent Christian nationalism have made it even more urgent that we find a way forward.   In her incisive new book, The Psychology of Christian Nationalism: Why People Are Drawn In and How to Talk Across the Divide, Pamela

That program has over 221,000 views.  Now, in his new book Determined, Sapolsky mounts a brilliant (and in his inimitable way, delightful) full-frontal assault on the pleasant fantasy that there is some separate self telling our biology what to do.  One by one, Sapolsky tackles all the major arguments for free will

In the famous photograph of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on the balcony of Memphis’s Lorraine Motel, one man kneeled down beside King, trying to staunch the blood from his fatal head wound with a borrowed towel. This kneeling man was a member of the Invaders, an activist group that was in talks with King in the days leading up to the murder. But he also had another identity: an undercover Memphis police officer reporting on the activities of this group, which was thought to be

Lee Herrick is California’s 10th Poet Laureate, and the first Asian American to serve in the role. A former Fresno Poet Laureate, Herrick’s work explores the diversity and vitality of the California experience. Born in Daejeon, South Korea and adopted as an infant, he writes eloquently on the immigrant experience – bringing to life the smell of chapchae and the sound of mariachi trumpets, the farmers market at midnight, and the small talk of Armenian neighbors. Herrick’s work is a Whitmanesque

“Our breath is a beautiful, healing, mysterious gift, and so is this book. I already feel like it’s going to change my life.” —  Elizabeth Gilbert There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.

St. Augustine is perhaps the most significant Christian thinker after St. Paul. Often pictured by Western painters holding in his hand his heart blazing with passionate love, he consistently and repeatedly insisted―from his earliest writings until close to his death―that the essential characteristic of God is love. Yet he also insisted on the doctrines of original sin and everlasting punishment for the damned. How did he reconcile this apparent contradiction? And can it bring us any closer to

Gone With the Wind, a nostalgic tale full of the myths of the Southern belle, Southern culture, ‘good food and good manners,’ is still the second most popular book in the USA after the Bible. And the story of slavery in America is not over. It lives on in how we speak to one another, in how we treat one another, in how our societies are organized. Our ability to dehumanize one another can be traced all the way from the plantation to a US President’s Twitter account. Patricia J. Williams is

Awe is mysterious. How do we begin to quantify the goose bumps we feel when we see the Grand Canyon, or the utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? How do you put into words the collective effervescence of standing in a crowd and singing in unison, or the wonder you feel while gazing at centuries-old works of art? Up until fifteen years ago, there was no science of awe, the feeling we experience when we encounter vast mysteries that transcend our understanding of the world
