#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham helps us understand the present moment in American politics and life by looking back at critical times in our history when hope overcame division and fear. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR - The Christian Science Monitor - Southern Living Our current climate of partisan fury is not new, and in The Soul of America Meacham shows us how what Abraham Lincoln called the "better angels of our nature" have repeatedly won the day. Painting surprising portraits of Lincoln and other presidents, including Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and Lyndon B. Johnson, and illuminating the courage of such influential citizen activists as Martin Luther King, Jr., early suffragettes Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt, civil rights pioneers Rosa Parks and John Lewis, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and Army-McCarthy hearings lawyer Joseph N. Welch, Meacham brings vividly to life turning points in American history. He writes about the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the birth of the Lost Cause; the backlash against immigrants in the First World War and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s; the fight for women's rights; the demagoguery of Huey Long and Father Coughlin and the isolationist work of America First in the years before World War II; the anti-Communist witch-hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy; and Lyndon Johnson's crusade against Jim Crow. Each of these dramatic hours in our national life have been shaped by the contest to lead the country to look forward rather than back, to assert hope over fear--a struggle that continues even now. While the American story has not always--or even often--been heroic, we have been sustained by a belief in progress even in the gloomiest of times. In this inspiring book, Meacham reassures us, "The good news is that we have come through such darkness before"--as, time and again, Lincoln's better angels have found a way to prevail.Praise for The Soul of America "Brilliant, fascinating, timely . . . With compelling narratives of past eras of strife and disenchantment, Meacham offers wisdom for our own time."--Walter Isaacson "Gripping and inspiring, The Soul of America is Jon Meacham's declaration of his faith in America."--Newsday
"Meacham gives readers a long-term perspective on American history and a reason to believe the soul of America is ultimately one of kindness and caring, not rancor and paranoia."--USA Today

Love it!
This product is always a great product! I feel so much better with this product. Researching, I found that melatonin is important in removing toxins from our bodies, and I do feel better when I take this product. If I do not take melatonin for a while then I feel sluggish and ill, and once I start back up I feel better. I like sublinguals too.

Best I have tried
Source naturals is the best brand of melatonin that I have tried. I have been using it for years to help me stay asleep. I typically fall asleep fine, but where I run into issues is staying asleep or if I wake after a few hours of sleeping. The melatonin helps me fall back asleep faster and I feel refreshed the next morning.
You will probably want to experiment with the dosage, I have found that the 5mg works best for me. And I like the peppermint flavor in lieu of the orange simply because I have usually just brushed my teeth before slipping this under my tongue.

My Most Reliable Sleep Aid
I've had issues falling asleep and staying asleep ever since I was a teenager, but for well over a decade, I've been able to count on melatonin to help me sleep better. This under-the-tongue version of it seems to work the best, being absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps get me to sleep relatively quickly while also helping significantly with keeping me asleep. I use one of these every night. I'd strongly recommend using these as well before turning to prescription sleep aids. They can also work well in conjunction with prescription sleep medicine if necessary.

This is a good product but the peppermint flavor is too overpowering
The sublingual Melatonin is ideal for traveling because it works almost instantly, so you can get to sleep faster than usual. I normally buy the orange flavored version and ended up with this peppermint one by accident (not paying attention), I found the taste much too strong and it seemed to create a burning sensation where I placed it under my tongue. I will stick to the orange version in the future.

I particularly love the sub-lingual
I've been using melatoning for yeeeears. I particularly love the sub-lingual. I use the 5 mgs and take two every night just as I go to bed and within minutes I'm asleep. I wake up rested and refreshed.
Note: You have to be very patient with the dosage. Start with one..then add 1/2 a pill or another one. It works! The key is getting the exact dosage for you because we are not all the same. For example: I always take two. Very rarely I need one more, how do I know? Well, if I can't get to sleep within a reasonable amount of time I will take a third. Now, if I do this a couple of days in a row I start to wake up a little tired in the morning. Now I know I have too much melatonin in me so I may not take it the following night at all until my own body tells me it needs it.
