In this little audiobook will be found a few hints on the art of service which I have gathered from my elders and from my own experience. I am still trying to follow these hints, sometimes successfully, more often unsuccessfully; but I feel that they are all true, and I am thankful to be permitted to share them with others who - like myself - are learning how to serve.

Digital Consciousness is a philosophical dialogue into the evolution of consciousness within the digital terrain and the legacy footprint on the human family. Exploring the emotional 'digital' frequency of self is a concept that Tenille Bentley has given a great deal of thought to, and some of the answers to these questions and more may surprise you. While not everyone wants to ‘change the world’ we do all have the power at our fingertips now to radically affect change for someone, somewhere, some place. Recognising this ability and harnessing how we use the internet is the basis for this book.

Written from the perspective of seniors enjoying the fourth quarter of life, even as they wonder about sudden-death overtime. Often funny, occasionally melancholy, but always heartfelt, these universal reflections on life are the perfect excuse for family communication across the generations. And a reason for creating your own family history. Past, present, and future. But don't feel left out if you're a much younger listener.

How did woman come to be the underside and negation of modernity’s ideals of progress, reason, and enlightenment? This quick immersion searches back in time and forward into the present to explore the conundrum: which came first, women’s oppression or the metaphysical and debilitating notions of who and what women are, namely passive, emotional, weak, and irrational. Drawing on psychoanalysis and contemporary theory, this book explores how these notions can be overcome and how women can find and realize their own desire. ENDORSEMENTS Noelle McAfee’s quick immersion is of tremendous ...

Alkohol ist ein fester Bestandteil unserer Gesellschaft. Er begleitet uns bei Feierlichkeiten, geselligen Runden und besonderen Momenten – oft wird er als unverzichtbares Mittel für Entspannung und Genuss wahrgenommen. Die meisten von uns haben eine lange Geschichte des Alkoholkonsums, sei es durch das Glas Wein zum Abendessen oder das Feierabendbier mit Freunden.

Connecting our speed-obsession with today's global capitalism, Taylor composes a grand narrative showing how commitments to economic growth and extreme competition, combined with accelerating technological innovation, have brought us close to disaster. Psychologically, environmentally, economically, and culturally, speed is taking a profound toll on our lives.

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Solitude by Michael Harris, read by Kerry Shale. Solitude is a rapidly vanishing experience. Our society now embraces sharing like never before: time alone is being forced out of our lives by the constant pings of smartphones and prods of social media. But what if being alone still has something to offer us - something we have forgotten, but that we still desperately need?

One of the two major philosophical traditions of the 20th century was linguistic analysis, derived largely from Wittgenstein. The other, diametrically opposed, came from Heidegger, and its fundamental question was: ‘What is the meaning of existence?’ For Heidegger, this was not a query that could simply be ‘analysed away’ - it was beyond the reach of logic or reason. This was the primary ‘given’ of every individual life.

Adventures in Thinking follows Emily Maroutian’s previous philosophical books, A Second Opinion and The Process of I. In the same vein, it delves into the process of the human mind and how we create, contribute, and ultimately change our experiences and the world around us through the power of our thinking. The first part of the book explores the personal mind and how it becomes limited through conditioned thinking and unconscious patterns of behavior. Our repeated thoughts lead to repeated behavior, which result in repeated experiences. The personal mind creates individual and global ...

Bullshit Comparisons will challenge the way you think about rankings, charts, and other marketing and political tools designed to create odious and dangerous comparisons.

Hvad vil det sige at være menneske? Svend Brinkmann giver svar på dette spørgsmål ved at fortælle historien om den unge, introverte Andreas, der tager på dannelsesrejse gennem Europa. På sin rejse bliver drengen klogere på, hvad mennesket er for et væsen - både på godt og ondt. Han møder mennesker undervejs, som gør ham klogere på livet, men han bliver også stimuleret af at stå ansigt til ansigt med berømte værker fra Europas kunst- og kulturhistorie, der fortæller noget om, hvem vi er som mennesker.

Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

Desde que suena el despertador nos enfrentamos a dilemas éticos. Los hay modernos y clásicos. Grandes y pequeños. Pero todos ellos definen nuestra época. ¿Cuántos bolis puedo llevarme de la oficina sin que sea éticamente reprobable? ¿Compro una cerveza por una app o bajo al supermercado? ¿Puedo añadirme cinco centímetros de altura en Tinder si todo el mundo lo hace? ¿Existe el porno ético? ¿Por qué puedo comerme un cerdo, pero no un perro? ¿Está bien pegar a un nazi? ¿Pueden gustarme a estas alturas las películas de Woody Allen? ¿Y el reguetón?

"Капитал" – главный труд немецкого экономиста и политического деятеля Карла Маркса, несомненно, оказавший влияние на мировую историю. Данное издание – это основные положения и идеи содержащиеся в «Капитале», обработанные немецким экономистом и политиком Ю. Борхардтом. Как отмечает сам Борхардт, ему «удалось передать теорию учения в правильной форме», что «дает ключ непосвященному или новичку к ее пониманию». Аудиокнига будет интересна как специалистам, так и всем интересующимся вопросами социально-экономических теорий.

Los filósofos griegos construyeron grandes discusiones sobre la realidad que continúan vigentes y siguen inspirando a los pensadores de hoy. Desde las enseñanzas matemáticas de Pitágoras, pasando por las ideas de Platón y Aristóteles, han sido fundamentales para el desarrollo intelectual hasta nuestros días. Hoy, sin embargo, ese papel lo ha adoptado una nueva clase de visionarios.

In the turbulent late seventies, six-year-old Susanna Crossman moved with her mother and siblings from a suburban terrace to a crumbling mansion deep in the English countryside. They would share their new home with over fifty other residents from all over the world, armed with worn paperbacks on ecology, Marx and radical feminism, drawn together by utopian dreams of remaking the world. They did not leave for fifteen years.

Throughout history, and in numerous forward-thinking communities around the world today, great minds and pioneering spirits have sought and often succeeded at alternative ways of living. Some of these experiments burned brightly and briefly; others are living proof of what is possible. One of those startlingly rare books that upends our assumptions and raises our sights, Everyday Utopia gathers inspiring examples into a radically hopeful vision of how to build more contented and connected societies, as well as a practical guide to what we all can do to live the good life every day.

You may think that a simple concept like Truth should be easy to describe and easy to understand. But like many simple concepts, it becomes so much more complicated the further you go. Author Drew Weatherhead endeavors to display the complexity of the objective Truth that we're forced to navigate from our subjective viewpoints through a variety of meta constructs. These Layers of Truth that make up the whole of our reality can help us recognize how we perceive the parts of it in which we exist.

¿Qué tienen en común la desaparición de las variedades de manzana, la aparición de políticos en programas de entrevistas, el fundamentalismo religioso y el mercado del arte y la música? La diversidad se reduce en todas partes, lo inesperado y lo desajustado se rechaza. En lugar del contenido peculiar, hay una supuesta autenticidad: ya no es el "qué" lo que cuenta, sino solo el "cómo". En la actualidad, la complejidad, la pluralidad y la diversidad ya no se perciben como un enriquecimiento.

After spending my last 58 years on this planet as a student at the School of Hard Knocks, I decided to jot down—spill my guts, really—all the pain and joy I've experienced throughout life. And I decided to call this little gem of wisdom The Way of the Ray. Starting with the trials and tribulations that formed my existence here on Mother Earth, I try to dissect and explain why I came to be where I am in life. And maybe how you, with a little understanding of your fellow humans, can make a path for yourself in this crazy and less than perfect world.
