A Complicated Choice addresses the fact that abortion stigma is ubiquitous, even among those who identify as pro-choice.

In Smarter Than You Think, Thompson documents how every technological innovation - from the printing press to the telegraph - has provoked the very same anxieties that plague us today.

The unprecedented access to other humans that technology provides has ironically freed us from engaging with them. According to social psychologist Adam Waytz, our increasingly human-free lives come with a serious cost that we’ve already begun to pay: the loss of our humanity. Humans have superpowers.

The Power of Human shows us how to rehumanize and harness these unique abilities to improve our lives, beginning with our jobs.
