NATIONAL BESTSELLER To get ahead today, you have to be a jerk, right? Divisive politicians. Screaming heads on television. Angry campus activists. Twitter trolls. Today in America, there is an “outrage industrial complex” that prospers by setting American against American, creating a “culture of contempt”—the habit of seeing people who disagree with us not as merely incorrect, but as worthless and defective. Maybe, like more than nine out of ten Americans, you dislike it. But hey, either you play along, or you’ll be left behind, right? Wrong. In Love Your Enemies, social scientist and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller From Strength to Strength Arthur C. Brooks shows that...
Buy now to get the main key ideas from Arthur C. Brooks's From Strength to Strength The incessant quest for success can destroy our happiness in the long run. In today’s fast-paced world, we get lost chasing traditional success after success while ignoring every other important thing in our lives. In From Strength to Strength (2022), scholar Arthur C. Brooks explains why, and what to do about it. We actually experience two waves of career success in life, based on two different intelligence types or strengths. One is highest in early adulthood; the other comes with getting older, and we need to brace ourselves so that we can jump into the second wave comfortably. With the right mindset, we can seamlessly make the transition from one strength to another.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Charles Darwin was a brilliant scientist who changed the way we view biology. However, he died considering his career a disappointment. He knew that by all worldly rights, he had everything to make him happy and content, but he was unable to cheer up. #2 The most obvious sign of decline is seen in athletes, who typically peak in performance between the ages of twenty and twenty-seven. For knowledge workers, who require ideas and intellect rather than athletic skill, no one expects to experience physical decline before their seventies. #3 The peak age for researchers is not old, but it is not young either. The pattern is the same for entrepreneurs, who typically earn vast fame and fortune in their twenties but are in creative decline by age thirty. #4 The peak of creative careers occurs at about twenty years after career inception, and people usually start declining somewhere between thirty-five and fifty. If you are a data analyst, you will, on average, hit your professional peak at age forty-four. If you are a poet, you will burn through half your life’s work by about age forty.

The Education of Phillips Brooks probes the formative years of one of the best-known figures of Victorian America's "Gilded Age." Rigorously researched, bringing as yet untapped archival material into play, John F. Woolverton's book is an extremely readable and fascinating look at a gifted, persuasive clergyman and public figure. One of the most influential ministers of his time, Brooks delivered the sermon over the body of Abraham Lincoln at Independence Hall in Philadelphia and is known for penning the lyrics to "O Little Town of Bethlehem." Although Brooks was not a major theologian, he was nurtured in an atmosphere of serious religious thought. In the crisis era of pre-Civil War America,...
The 17 papers presented here introduce results on geological and geophysical research centred largely along a North-South transect through the central Brooks Range of Arctic Alaska. Investigations centre on a descripton of the rocks and their tectonic evolution from the foreland to the hinterland of the orogen, the geometry and kinematics of contractional and extensional structures, regional and local stratigraphic relations, thermochronology, and the deep crustal structure of the Brooks Range and parts of the North Slope, and descriptions of the major lithotectonic assemblages, composing the orogenic belt.
