Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than any of the rivers of Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them and be healed?” So Naaman turned and went away in a rage. (2 Kings 5:11-12 NLT) Here's a little background: Naaman went to Elisha to be healed of his leprosy. He went to Elisha's house and waited at ...

That day is still ahead of us, but the first steps toward it were taken long ago, encoded in the choices of the 1990s. Martha Robinson believed a company could be run with humanity.

This short book considers a short (about thirty-seven page) speech given by the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) in 1945. In this speech, "Existentialism is a Humanism," Sartre defended existentialism against its critics. I consider what lessons of wisdom we can take from Sartre's speech.

Like him or not, Sartre is a great thinker who is worth considering even if you may reject some or all...
