The New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer has written what I consider indispensable reading for every American. Here is a detailed account of how U.S. policy has damned its credibility by pursuing an anti-terrorist crusade that erodes and devalues the basic foundations of our constitution. She couples arguments from traditionally conservative experts like high-ranking military officials with traditional liberal Chomsky-ish arguments that support her condemnation of the United States’ failed war on terror. —Adrienne Mages

You need to read this book. Then you need to give it to your parents, your coworkers, your best friend, and your worst enemy. The Political Mind explores how reason, morality, biology, and politics intersect in ways that will blow your mind. This is a primer for a new way of thinking, and a call to arms for change in how we think about our minds, our hearts, and each other.   —M.M.
