Books:

The Spider, The Witch, And The Spaceship (science fiction):
This is the story of a man named Nate who finds himself living in a psychiatric health care facility. He does not remember how he got there, but as he starts to remember things from his past life, he realizes that the universe has changed dramatically since he was young. A story of childhood nostalgia, sometimes comically illuminating the differing perceptions adults and children have of the world, The Spider, The Witch, And The Spaceship is also a journey through the memories of a man for clues as to the real reason he is where he is. Filled with tension between opposing claims of the ultimate reality, this is a novel that will keep the reader guessing until the end. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IYUJ8QA/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i2

The Nutcase Across The Street (politics):
What drives political polarization in the United States? How big of a problem is it? What can we do to fix it? Answers to these questions and other interesting observations on American politics are found in this book written from the everyman's perspective. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ASBWA94/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1

Why Civility Failed (politics):
Political rhetoric in America is getting scary. By now, most people have recognized the damage it does to relationships and seen how it can eventually culminate in riots. What is the cause of this? Is it the corrupt politicians? Is it the misleading news media? Is it faulty education? Is it miscommunication and misunderstanding? Is it the internet? After conversing with a great number of people both online and offline over many years and thinking things through from every possible angle, I have come to the conclusion that most people actually like to argue. The problem is one of the heart. The real reason the civility movement in America failed is that Americans are not civil people. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B9TT5Y98/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0

The End of Government (politics):
American government is out of control. Everyone is saying it. Democrats blame Republicans and Republicans blame Democrats, but the real problem with government isn’t “conservative” policies or “liberal” policies; the problem is inconsistency. A law is only as good as the punishments backing it up. When too many lawbreakers go free and law-abiding citizens are treated like criminals, it encourages more lawbreaking. When the law in practice does not match the law on paper, it is a recipe for anarchy and war. It is the end of government. https://www.amazon.com/End-Government-Era-Lawlessness/dp/B0BF32K6H2/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=daniel+noe&qid=1663179103&sr=8-5

When Nothing Seems To Work (philosophy):
When institutions we used to support succumb to scandal, policies we used to endorse lead to unintended outcomes, and long-established scientific theories are questioned, it can leave us wondering what to do next. Holding on to failed ideas too long is the root of much of the world’s suffering. When all our idols are gone, what is left over? What can give us hope in the midst of uncertainty? I write this book to propose a model for viewing the world. It is the only thing I have found to make sense of my life and some of the things I’ve been through. I believe I have done nothing short of discovering a form of morality that even relativists can endorse, a form of spiritual awareness that even atheists can understand, and the first step to solving every societal problem.https://www.amazon.com/When-Nothing-Seems-Work-Uncertainty/dp/B0BJSFX9SJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3RY540IDF5ZAI&keywords=daniel+noe&qid=1667071692&sprefix=daniel+noe%2Caps%2C322&sr=8-1
