In this collection, Alan Watts displays the intelligence, playfulness of thought, and simplicity of language that has made him so perennially popular as an interpreter of Eastern thought for Westerners. He draws on a variety of religious traditions, and covers topics such as the challenge of seeing one's life “just as it is,” the Taoist approach to harmonious living, the limits of language in the face of ineffable spiritual truth, and the psychological symbolism of Christian thought.

In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems.

Embark on a journey through foundational Eastern philosophy texts, offering deep insights into life, strategy, ethics, and spiritual growth. Authored by history's greatest thinkers, this collection is perfect for enthusiasts of philosophy, spirituality, or personal development.

25-year veteran executive coach, Dr Martin Kettelhut challenges long-held beliefs about leadership in his groundbreaking book, "Leadership as Relation." Traditionally, we've viewed leaders as inherently different - equipped with unique styles and traits. However, this perspective overlooks a crucial aspect: leadership is not a solo endeavor; it’s a shared, evolving journey. Dr. Kettelhut demonstrates that the crisis in modern leadership - characterized by disconnection, disproportionate responsibility, and corrupt agendas - stems from this outdated individualist viewpoint.

"Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable." So begins Thomas Nagel's classic 1974 essay "What is it Like to be a Bat?" Nagel's essay initiated the now widespread attention to consciousness as a central problem for philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience; it also influenced the recognition of the consciousness of nonhuman creatures as an important subject of study.

The important work of human and cultural understanding has been nested in thorny political agendas that often don’t invite healthy exchange. Rather than feed into the political divide, Dr. Kyle Reyes presents an approach to understanding differences that prioritizes humanity. Personal growth and transformation come from honest reflection and self-analysis. In Lenses of Humanity, Dr. Reyes illustrates how we can improve and develop more human understanding, embrace humane practices, and find deeper connections across differences.

Divided into short chapters that can be listened to in brief sittings, What Is Stoicism? compiles two millennia of Stoic thought into simple conversational prose.

Socrates is the quintessential Athenian philosopher, the source of the entire Western philosophical tradition, and Godfather to the Stoics. He spent his life teaching practical philosophy to ordinary people in the streets of Athens, yet few people today are familiar with the wisdom he has to offer us.

Em O obstáculo é o caminho, Holiday se inspira no estoicismo, a antiga filosofia grega de suportar a dor ou a adversidade com perseverança e resiliência, e mostra ao leitor que, no fim das contas, aquilo que o impede pode acabar o fortalecendo. Segundo o autor, os estoicos concentram-se nas coisas que podem controlar, abandonam todo o resto e transformam cada novo obstáculo em uma oportunidade de melhorar e se tornar mais forte e resistente.

In We Who Wrestle with God, Jordan Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that stabilize, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically.

“The man who reads and recites this narration of the Ramayana will be blessed with a long duration of life and after death will be welcomed and respectfully received in the heavenly region, along with sons, grandsons, and relatives.” (Valmiki Ramayana, Bala Kand, 1.99)

Why people suddenly shift personality, why the concept of Aliens and Galactic Councils is anti-human, what a Greek god, something we shout at celebrations and child birth all have in common. 00:00:34 Introduction - Holding a Candle I remind us how the contrast of light and dark allows us to become aware of the qualities of each. This applies to all things in duality, silence, noise. We're going to look at life...

Greg Twemlow's Medium article examines the impact of Generative AI (GenAI) on knowledge work, arguing that while GenAI automates many tasks, human skills like critical thinking, adaptability, and collaboration remain crucial. He proposes "Nine Arch Blocks"—skills including understanding GenAI, upskilling, and networking—as a framework for navigating this changing landscape. The article challenges the traditional definition of knowledge work and advocates for a more inclusive and human-centered approach. Twemlow's perspective contrasts with concerns about widespread job displacement due to...

What is a real relationship, or most important? Authentic life-giving relationshipWhy are the relationships not working?1. They don’t give their real self; they act like in a movie, make shows, or give different versions of themselves… And that version is configured by traumas so that it protects us from getting hurt again… I participated in many self-experience groups, with encounter/bioenergetic for an entire weekend… And I heard again and again, I know you better than my husband which I have married for 10 years, and that after one weekend.And if we don’t start a ...
