The video below explains the premise of the book far better than we could write about it, so check it out. By the way, Paul Waldman will be our guest for a special interview on DI Radio on Wednesday April 16th at 3PM EST. Join us if you can! Sunday, March 16, 2008 DI Book Selection: The Political Brain by Drew Westen Last month we launched the DI Book Club with Glenn Hurowitz's book Fear and Courage in Democratic Party. This month we've chosen Drew Westin's excellent book, The Political Brain. Drew Westen is scheduled to join us on Sunday, March 23rd at 4PM EST on DI Radio for a conversation about the book. While there have been some great political self-help books written to help Democrats and progressives understand why they lose races they should win, The Political Brain is the king of the hill, in my opinion. It literally examines the situation from the inside out. Westen and his colleagues examined brain scans of how and to what people responded in matters of emotion and politics. Westen combines clinical research data with a dose of good ol' commonsense to move beyond analysis to offer clear, plain-spoken solutions He demonstrates with straight-forwardness and wit how candidates can communicate progressive values more effectively and WIN! Please accept this invitation to read the fantastic book. We also highly recommend the unabridged Blackstone Audio audiobook version which is read by actor Anthony Heald. You will NOT regret it!

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 Our New DI Book Club: Fear and Courage In The Democratic Party We're pleased to announce the launch of the DI Book Club. We regularly receive books from publishers and on average they are good. But on occasion there are books that we've receive which merit wider recognition for their excellence. This is the reason that we decided to create the DI Book Club and it is exactly the reason that we've chosen author Glenn Hurowitz's new book Fear and Courage in Democratic Party as our first selection. The publisher of Capital Times describes the book this way: "Just in time for election season, Fear and Courage in the Democratic Party published by Maisonneuve Press chronicles the extraordinary stories of five politicians and activists: three "progressive heroes" who exhibited rare political courage - and through it found unexpected political success, and two "spineless weasels" who embraced The Politics of Fear and rode it to ultimate failure. The book reveals how Senator Paul Wellstone used his courage to overcome a quirky personality, an occasionally hysterical style and, most of all, an ideology considerably to the left of his constituents, eventually becoming a national hero.It tells the dramatic story of how the same foundations and corporations that engineered the right-wing takeover of the Republican Party used junk political science to move Democrats to the right as well. Hurowitz shows how the legacy of Bill Clinton, widely proclaimed his generation's greatest political talent, will actually burden the Democratic Party and the progressive movement for decades to come. A work of astounding insight, Fear and Courage in the Democratic Party promises to transform political discourse in 2008." Matt Stoller of OpenLeft.com calls Glenn, "a brilliant emerging star in the progressive movement." We agree. Glenn is scheduled to join us on DI Radio on Sunday, February 24th at 3PM EST for a conversation about the book. If you can get you copy at Amazon, Alibris or a bookstore near you. Join us in reading, supporting and discussing this insightful, honest and inspirational book.
