Black women are heading to college in record numbers, and more and more Black women are teaching in higher education. But these statistics don’t guarantee our safety there. Willpower and grit may improve achievement for Black people in school, but they don’t secure our belonging.

Self-limiting beliefs plague us all eventually. In a noisy world that sets unreasonable expectations of how you’re supposed to live your life, it’s easy to second-guess yourself. Self-limiting beliefs come from everyday things like expectations from others, social media comparison, cultural norms, and past experiences and traumas.

Socrates has been hiding in plain sight. We call him the father of Western philosophy, but what exactly are his philosophical views? He is famous for his humility, but readers often find him arrogant and condescending. We parrot his claim that “the unexamined life is not worth living,” yet take no steps to live examined ones. In Open Socrates, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard recovers the radical move at the center of Socrates’ thought, and shows why it is still the way to a good life.

The Don: 36 Rules of the Bosses is the fascinating culmination of author RJ Roger’s extensive research into the Italian-American Cosa Nostra. Analyzing more than 100 years of underworld history, Roger has distilled the behavior of the bosses of the five New York Mafia families—the most powerful in the United States—into 36 rules. Unwritten until codified in The Don, these rules were the foundation of the bosses’ success for over a century.

In the past, one of the most cherished American values was the truth.

We have lost touch with the importance of truth in our lives. This reality has resulted in a society in abject turmoil and confusion.
