With a title like HOW DEMOCRACIES DIE, you'd be forgiven if you assumed the book is a dire read. The nationally bestselling book actually has some hope in it; we ask the book's co-author, Daniel Ziblatt, about the state of American democracy in this week's episode. We also ask Dr. Daniela J. Lamas about the research she did to write YOU CAN STOP HUMMING NOW: A DOCTOR'S STORIES OF LIFE, DEATH AND LIFE IN BETWEEN. And our editors share their insights about the best new books to read!
