Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Congressional debates are increasingly defined by gridlock and stalemate, with partisan showdowns that lead to government shutdowns. Compromise in Congress seems hard to reach. But do politicians deserve all the blame? Legislators who resist concessions and stand firm to their convictions might be doing just what voters want them to do. If this is true, however, then citizens must shoulder some of the responsibility for gridlock in Congress. This book challenges this wisdom and argues that Americans value compromise as a way to resolve differences in times of partisan division. Using evidence from a variety of surveys and innovative experiments, the book demonstrates that citizens want more from politics than just ideological representation - they also care about the processes by which disagreements are settled. Americans believe that compromise is a virtuous way to resolve political disputes. Because people's desire for compromise is deeply rooted in socialized support for democratic values, principled beliefs about compromise can serve as a check on partisan thinking. Across a range of settings, people's support for compromise persists even when it comes at the cost of partisan goals and policy objectives. People give warmer evaluations to members of Congress who are willing to compromise, and view compromise legislation as more legitimate. People care about not just outcomes, but also the way decisions are reached. Winning isn't everything in politics. People also value the democratic principle of compromise."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Compromise is a refreshing relationship book that focuses on improvement. When people start new relationships they tend to bring past baggage into them both knowingly and unknowingly. The relationship can start out good in the honeymoon period but over time the issues in the baggage such as Selfishness, Jealousy, Lying, Manipulation etc. start to unpack itself and begin to fracture the once promising relationship. Of course no one is perfect which means the relationship won't be perfect but all relationships have the potential to grow if both individuals are willing to do the work. That work involves an honest assessment of one's self and the willingness to compromise without forgetting who you are for the greater good of the relationship. Patterson's book will inspire others to do whatever it takes to achieve a healthy relationship. Each subject requires one to look inside themselves. For instance, this example from "Controlling" topic reads, "When you constantly impose your will on others and you are determined to get your way by any means necessary, you are controlling. It's one thing for a person to voluntarily comply with you and it's another thing for a person to comply out of fear or intimidation. Within a relationship a person should feel safe and free to just be themselves." After each topic you might find yourself asking these questions, "Have I ever done this in a relationship? Am I still doing it? Why haven't I stop doing it? How can I stop doing it? What are the steps do I need to take?" The Great Compromise is straight forward and empowering, it may not be for everyone but it's for those who want to build a meaningful relationship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why compromise is essential for effective government and why it is missing in politics today To govern in a democracy, political leaders have to compromise. When they do not, the result is political paralysis—dramatically demonstrated by the gridlock in Congress in recent years. In The Spirit of Compromise, eminent political thinkers Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson show why compromise is so important, what stands in the way of achieving it, and how citizens can make defensible compromises more likely. They urge politicians to focus less on campaigning and more on governing. In a new preface, the authors reflect on the state of compromise in Congress since the book's initial publication. Calling for greater cooperation in contemporary politics, The Spirit of Compromise will interest everyone who cares about making government work better for the good of all.

Compromise in Congress seems hard to reach, but do politicians deserve all the blame? Legislators who refuse to compromise might be doing just what their constituents want them to do. In Compromise in an Age of Party Polarization, Jennifer Wolak challenges this wisdom and demonstrates that Americans value compromise in politics. Citizens want more from elected officials than just ideological representation--they also care about the processes by which disagreements are settled. Using evidence from a variety of surveys and innovative experiments, she shows the persistence of people's support for compromise across a range of settings-even when it comes at the cost of partisan goals and policy objectives. While polarization levels are high in contemporary America, our partisan demands are checked by our principled views of how we believe politics should be practiced. By underscoring this basic yet mostly ignored fact, this book stands as an important first step toward trying to reduce the extreme polarization that plagues our politics.

Book excerpt: Who is God? That is the question Elizabeth A. Johnson has spent her life exploring. As a Catholic theologian, writer, teacher, and religious woman, Johnson has searched for “the Living God” and ways to understand God that make sense for our time, perhaps most famously in her groundbreaking book She Who Is. Her work is firmly grounded in the Catholic tradition while it explores the edges of that tradition, pushing it to be more inclusive—a project that has caught the attention of other scholars, everyday Catholics, and sometimes critics. Johnson’s own relationship with God as Holy Mystery has helped her to navigate her life’s challenges, including finding herself thrust into the spotlight as a headline-making symbol of religious women facing challenges from the church leadership. With this first biography of one of the preeminent Catholic theologians of our time, those who have been enriched by Johnson’s work will now find themselves inspired by her remarkable life story.
