In 'Happy Days,' Gabrielle Bernstein presents a clear path for transforming past traumas into newfound strength and freedom. The book offers nine transformational techniques for achieving peace and genuine happiness, including 'reparenting' oneself and bodywork practices to free stuck energy from past unprocessed trauma. Bernstein's approach emphasizes mindset shifts and speaking about the unspeakable to achieve peace of mind and inner freedom.

In this book, Gordon S. Wood explores the radical character of the American Revolution, dividing the narrative into three parts: monarchy, republicanism, and democracy. Wood argues that the Revolution was not just a replacement of one elite group with another, but a profound transformation of American society. He examines how the Revolution's classical republican ideals gave way to broader democratic and egalitarian forces, leading to significant changes in American life, including new concepts of labor dignity, improvements in women's status, and the emergence of the first significant antislavery movement. The book also discusses how the Founding Fathers viewed the outcome of the Revolution, often with disappointment and disillusionment[1][2][3].
The Diversity Delusion argues that the root of America's current crisis, from universities to workplaces, is the belief in endemic racism and sexism. This belief has led to a metastasizing diversity bureaucracy that undermines humanistic values, fuels intolerance, and widens cultural divisions. Mac Donald critiques the enforcement of hiring quotas, diversity compliance training, and the silencing of speech that challenges campus orthodoxies. She advocates for a return to classical liberal pursuits of open-minded inquiry and expression to rediscover a common humanity.
The book begins with the story of Kunta Kinte, a young Mandinka man from The Gambia who is captured by slave traders and sold into slavery in America. It follows the lives of his descendants through seven generations, detailing their experiences under slavery, the Civil War, and the post-war period. The narrative shifts to Alex Haley's first-person account, recounting his own life and the oral traditions passed down through his family. The book is a powerful exploration of slavery, family history, and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
I sat down with Heather Mac Donald, Manhattan Institute fellow and author of “The Diversity Delusion,” to discuss how the ideology of racial victimhood is undermining American meritocracy and Western civilization itself. Heather makes a blunt case against racial preferences, DEI bureaucracies, and the soft bigotry of lowered expectations, arguing that seemingly well-intentioned affirmative action policies are not just unfair, but entirely counterproductive. We also explore the left’s anti-Western obsession, the oversimplification of American racial discourse, and why she’s still fighting for the values that made the West great.
