If his ideas intrigue you, dive deeper into his world (and the philosophy and philosophers he inspired) with Existentialism For Beginners — an accessible, thought-provoking way to explore the questions Dostoyevsky made timeless.

Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day isn’t just the end of summer—it’s a holiday created to honor the labor movement and the workers who fought for the rights we often take for granted today.

Did you know in the early 1900s, more than 2 million children under the age of 16 were working in mills, mines, and factories across America. Labor leader Mother Jones became famous for rallying against these conditions leading marches of children to demand “We want to go to school, not the mines!”

Thanks to unions, child labor was outlawed, the 8-hour workday was won, and safer workplaces became possible.

This Labor Day, remember the struggles that built today’s rights—and discover the story of unions in Unions For Beginners.
