Description

Think a Second Time opens with a provocative and engaging examination of the heart of human nature itself. Prager turns conventional wisdom on its head by offering a compelling argument for why the belief that people are basically good is not only wrong but dangerous. He illuminates how and why friends disappoint us and dissects public sexuality and television. Prager offers challenging answers to up-to-the-minute questions: Should a single woman have a child? Why don't good homes always produce good children? Is American really racist? . He then turns sharp attention to the factors that threaten the very soul of our nation - from the Los Angeles riots to our dangerous tendency to deny evil. Prager even sounds an alarm on the dangers of idealism. He examines the roots of extremism - from religious extremism around the world to secular extremism in the Western world - and what Prager deems the immorality of pacifist thinking. Dennis Prager's powerful essay on the afterlife, "Is This Life All There Is?," and his other thoughts on God address issues at the core of our existence. Dennis Prager has a large and extremely devoted following from his highly rated radio talk shows on WABC New York and KABC Los Angeles as well as his recent half-hour national TV show and his quarterly journal Ultimate Issues.
