Lambert argue that relationship-rich environments can and should exist for all students at all types of institutions.

The Moral Powers: A Study of Human Nature is a philosophical investigation of the moral potentialities and sensibilities of human beings, of the meaning of human life, and of the place of death in life.

Memory is, without a doubt, the most powerful (and practical) tool of everyday life.

In Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory, you’ll explore the real research on how memory functions - and then apply these findings to help you make better use of the memory abilities you have.

Doctors Making a Difference, hosted by Dr. Peter Crane, tells the stories we rarely hear, of physicians who dared to ask, “Is this all there is?” and then changed their lives to answer it. These are the moments after burnout, after bureaucracy, after sacrifice. When purpose called louder than protocol. Each week, listeners meet doctors who stepped off the expected path—into roles as entrepreneurs, advocates, creatives, and leaders redefining what it means to heal. They didn’t just survive ...
