Becoming

Michelle Obama

I am watching the documentary on Michelle Obama’s Becoming again after a couple of years - it is funny how how things hit you differently at different times. She is remarkable in so many ways.

Educated: A Memoir

Tara Westover
Rachel Happe - post.news/@/rhappeRachel Happe - post.news/@/rhappe

This is a frightening story of mental illness and abuse and is quite familiar to the experiences Tara Westover wrote about in the book Educated. https://t.co/wNeMkvAf8G

Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence

Anna Lembke

Interesting thread. Maybe I am a masochist (I was raised by a Calvinist) but hard work, discomfort, and some struggle is what prompts gratitude, compassion, learning, and wisdom. Reading Dopamine Nation added the physiological research that explained this. https://t.co/d0JWDBQVON

Proceedings ...

United States
Rachel Happe - post.news/@/rhappeRachel Happe - post.news/@/rhappe

If we do not follow with legal proceedings I also think it will be the end of the United States as we have known it and want it to be. Our divisive culture is the result of not punishing unethical and illegal behavior. https://t.co/2llKs71d1w

Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices

Peter F. Drucker

💯 Mary Parker Follett's work ranks up there with Peter Drucker. Everyone in the management and leadership space should know her work. Yes - you! https://t.co/sbQbSTNtqh

How the South Won the Civil War: Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America

Heather Cox Richardson
Rachel Happe - post.news/@/rhappeRachel Happe - post.news/@/rhappe

@PaulJocelyn @janhoglund Also this might seem like an odd recommendation but @HC_Richardson’s How The South Won the Civil War is a good read. She talks about the intersection of highly capitalized industry, slavery/tyranny, economic consequences, and politics all of which drives environmental extraction.

Trust: The Social Virtues and the Creation of Prosperity

Francis Fukuyama

@mikey3982 @nancygibbs @ho_ben Awesome - thank you. I really loved Trust by Francis Fukuyama but it is pretty old so getting an updated take on the economic perspective would be helpful - a lot has changed since the 90s 😛

Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth

Sarah Smarsh
Rachel Happe - post.news/@/rhappeRachel Happe - post.news/@/rhappe

Reading Heartland by @Sarah_Smarsh and it is surfacing my own family’s generational trauma. It has always been confusing to me since I grew up in Boston but it was such a part of my parents’ emotional model. https://t.co/apR4UjI1Fq
