My favorite books:
Whole Child, Whole Parent. Zen Buddhism, Christianity, and eternal truths about parenting.
Reviving Ophelia. A must read for parents of girls.
Affluenza. Feeling disillusioned with the shop-til-you-drop mentality? This is about regaining better values.
Ecological Imperialism. A ton of things we can learn about how humans have treated the planet over the last two thousand years from this one.
Conscience of a Liberal. It’s by Paul Wellstone, one of the greatest politicians ever to live.
Profiles in Courage. Another good one on political leadership.
Earth In the Balance. Sure it’s written by a politician. But he’s educated enough in the sciences to do an incredible job.
Convert It. How I got started in electric vehicles.
What's the Matter With Kansas. See how the republican party has gotten people to vote against their own interests!
The Heart of Christianity. Faith for progressives.
Biblical Truths and Modern Man. How the bible should be not be read literally. An introduction to the Wesleyan Quadrilateral.
The Message. The only version of the bible for me, these days.
Nickel & Dimed.
Ugh! Sad, but very interesting story about how people
enslaved to the minimum wage are deluded to think they can escape, and
a window into their daily struggles.
