The Abhidharma, one of the three major text collections of the original Buddhist canon, frames the psychological system of Buddhism, explaining the workings of reality and the nature of the human mind. Because of its complexity, the Abhidharma has traditionally been reserved only for academic or monastic study; now, for the first time, clinical psychologist Beth Jacobs brings this dynamic body of work to general listeners, using practical explanation, personal stories, and vivid examples to gently untangle the technical aspects of the Abhidharma.

Moreover, from a partisan standpoint those Republicans who believe in a supercharged house cleaning, if not a new party, think it is necessary to resoundingly reject a nativist, misogynistic, fiscally irresponsible, Vladimir Putin-toadying lout who embodies every nasty caricature Democrats have painted of Republicans for the last half-century or so.
