Our Own Worst Enemy: The Assault from within on Modern Democracy

A contrarian yet highly engaging account of the spread of illiberal and anti-democratic sentiment throughout our culture that places responsibility on the citizens themselves.

Over the past three decades, citizens of democracies who claim to value freedom, tolerance, and the rule of law have increasingly embraced illiberal politicians and platforms. Democracy is in trouble--but who is really to blame?

In Our Own Worst Enemy, Tom Nichols challenges the current depictions of the rise of illiberal and anti-democratic movements in the United States and elsewhere as the result of the deprivations of globalization or the malign decisions of elites. Rather, he places the blame for the rise of illiberalism on the people themselves. Nichols traces the illiberalism of the 21st century to the growth of unchecked narcissism, rising standards of living, global peace, and a resistance to change. Ordinary citizens, laden with grievances, have joined forces with political entrepreneurs who thrive on the creation of rage rather than on the encouragement of civic virtue and democratic cooperation. While it will be difficult, Nichols argues that we need to defend democracy by resurrecting the virtues of altruism, compromise, stoicism, and cooperation--and by recognizing how good we've actually had it in the modern world.

Trenchant, contrarian, and highly engaging, Our Own Worst Enemy reframes the debate about how democracies have ended up in this dire state of affairs and what to do about it.

Tom Nichols is a staff writer at The Atlantic. He was a professor of national security affairs for 25 years at the U.S. Naval War College, and is the author of The Death of Expertise (Oxford 2017) as well as books on Russia, the Cold War, nuclear weapons, and the future of armed conflict. He was also an instructor at the Harvard Extension School and an adjunct professor at the US Air Force School of Strategic Force Studies. He is a former aide in the U.S. Senate and has been a Fellow of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

He was also a Senior Associate of the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs in New York City, a Fellow of the International History Institute at Boston University, and a Senior Fellow of the Graham Center for Contemporary International History at the University of Toronto. Previously he was a Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC.

In 2017 Tom was named one of POLITICO Magazine's "POLITICO 50," the thinkers whose ideas are shaking up American politics and public life.

Tom is also a five-time undefeated Jeopardy! champion. He played in the 1994 Tournament of Champions, is listed in the Jeopardy! Hall of Fame, and as one of the game's top players was invited to participate in the 2005 Ultimate Tournament of Champions, where he played his final match.

Kein Trost. Nur Feuer ist eine Sammlung von Gedichten und kurzen Prosatexten, die sich mit Erfahrungen des Verlusts, der Sprachlosigkeit und des Überlebens auseinandersetzen. Die Texte sind in einer klaren, oft fragmentarischen Sprache gehalten, fern von Pathos, aber mit großer emotionaler Dichte. Im Zentrum stehen persönliche Erfahrungen mit familiärer Gewalt, Krankheit, Trauma und Isolation – Themen, die selten öffentlich besprochen werden, hier aber in konzentrierter Form zur Sprache kommen.

Das Buch gibt keine Antworten und bietet keinen Trost im klassischen Sinne. Vielmehr dokumentiert es das Ringen um Würde, um Sprache inmitten des Verstummens, um die Fähigkeit, inmitten von Schmerz weiter zu atmen. Viele der Texte sind reduziert auf das Wesentliche, fast notatartig. Andere weiten sich aus zu inneren Monologen oder poetischen Miniaturen, die Spuren von Hoffnung, Klarheit oder Widerstand erkennen lassen.

Kein Trost. Nur Feuer versteht sich nicht als geschlossene Erzählung, sondern als offenes Textfeld. Es ist eine Einladung, hinzusehen – auf das, was im Verborgenen liegt, was schwer auszuhalten ist, aber gesagt werden muss.

Mira Rauk ist das Pseudonym einer deutschsprachigen Autorin. Sie schreibt Gedichte und Prosatexte, in denen Erfahrungen von Verlust, Ausgrenzung und innerem Überleben eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Ihre Texte sind geprägt von einer klaren, reduzierten Sprache und dem Versuch, auch das Unsagbare behutsam zugänglich zu machen.
Kein Trost. Nur Feuer ist ihre erste eigenständige Buchveröffentlichung. Weitere sind in Arbeit.

In my long time of work in IT- projects I saw a lot of thinks, I`m not agreed with.
I start to developed my Company weather Radar Framework (CWR - Framework)

The structure is important and especially the row for the entries for measure something.
The focus of the results must be the improvement from quality in business processes, and not on income and expenses!
This is the huge different from other Dashboards you found 1000 of times elsewhere and the CWR – Framework.

Blocking points must be removed as soon as possible. This also includes employees who torpedo the project for personal reasons. The structure in companies is usually not properly prepared. In projects, employees are almost always made up of internal and external people.
That is the first point of friction, a social point that can be eliminated from the beginning if for example you play a game like "My user manual". The aim is to get to know your colleagues and to prepare yourself for the upcoming work together.

Der Autor Louis Melloy zeigt in dem Buch CWR Framework das es auch günstig geht. Daten und deren Aufbereitung sind der Schlüssel. Ich habe das Buch gelesen, weil ich in Begriff bin mich selbststämdig zu machen. Einfache Vorgehensweise anstatt viele Spezialisten anzuhäuern, Plus und Minus in einem Projekt und das vor dem Start gut vorbereitet werden muss unterstreicht der Autor. Dieses Konzept ist auf alles anwendbar, auch privat. Was mir auch gefallen hat sind die sehr ausgeklügelten Tabellen, die gegenseitige Beziehungen besitzen. Ich empfehle es jedem, aber vor allem denen, die ausserhalb der Norm eine geniale Vorgehensweise suchen. Zum Beispiel für ein Projekt. Wer viel Geld sparen möchte oder nicht weiß wie er mit seinem Geschäft anfangen soll, für den ist es ebenfalls lesenswert. Allein schon das Konzept des CWR Framework machte es lesenswert!
