Thoughtful Essays

Thoughtful Essays

A collection of excellent essays, occasionally speeches, from leaders, thinkers, philosophers:

  • Bowling Alone – Robert Putnam
  • Chance for Peace speech – Dwight Eisenhower
  • How to Deal with Conflict Effectively – Robert Bateman
  • Meditation and Action – Chogyam Trungpa
  • Mental Models I Find Repeatedly Useful – Gabriel Weinberg
  • National Security and Double Government – Dr. Michael Glennon
  • Neuroscience of Mindfulness: What Exactly Happens to Your Brain When You Meditate – Kristyna Zapletal
  • The Patristics – Sean Multimedia
  • Ur Fascism – Umberto Eco
  • Why People are Irrational about Politics – Dr. Michael Huemer

A lot of people turn to something that they hope will liberate them without their having to face themselves. That is impossible. We can’t do that. We have to be honest with ourselves. We have to see our gut, our excrement, our most undesirable parts.
