Death is an inevitable part of our lives, yet most societies have struggled to come to terms with it. Today, we continue to grapple with the enduring questions: What is death? Why do we fear it? What happens after death? Is it an end or a doorway to something beyond? In this unique, clear-sighted exploration of death, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he expounds on the deeper aspects of death that are rarely spoken about.

In a May 2024 Pew poll, more than two-thirds of Americans indicated they thought that in vitro fertilization (IVF) is good and should be accessible to anyone who wants it. Even among social conservatives—including the current U.S. administration—there is a push for wider accessibility for artificial procreation options. But is IVF truly the gift for infertile couples that it’s perceived to be?

Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan is not just one of the greatest philosophical texts in the English language; it is one of the most important works in the history of Western political thought. Almost every major tradition in the centuries after Hobbes—from radical democracy to authoritarianism—has been influenced by its arguments. Written in exile in a period of dramatic developments—civil war and regicide—Leviathan is in some ways the product of its own special circumstances.

Mark Twain bu eserinde keskin zekâsını ve ironik üslubunu bir araya getirerek, insan doğasının sır perdesini aralıyor. Sıradan bir sohbet gibi başlayan metin, zamanla bir düşünce laboratuvarına dönüşüyor. Yargılar sorgulanıyor, alışılmış değerler altüst ediliyor ve okuyucuya kaçamayacağı bir yüzleşme imkânı sunuluyor: “Özgür irade gerçekten var mı? İnsanın özü bencil midir? Ahlak doğuştan mı gelir, yoksa bir koşullanmanın ürünü müdür?”

His work on broader issues and trends – such as Beyond Certainty and The Second Curve – has changed the way we view society. In his new book, Handy, looking back over a rich and varied life, shares the lessons he has learned along the way. What things really matter? What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant? How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us?

Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie könnten ein Hasenbaby halten und mit der Flasche füttern. Es lebte unter Ihrem Dach, räkelte sich nachts auf dem Boden Ihres Schlafzimmers. Nach über zwei Jahren eilt es immer noch vom Feld herbei, wenn Sie es rufen. Genau das ist Chloe Dalton passiert. »Hase und ich« erzählt diese wahre, herzerwärmende Geschichte einer außergewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen einer Frau und einem Feldhasen.

Después de más de doce años de ensayos críticos con el régimen neoliberal, en esta nueva y novedosa obra el célebre filósofo Byung-Chul Han emprende no ya un viraje, sino una verdadera superación hacia una alentadora visión del hombre. De la desesperación más profunda nace también la esperanza más íntima. La esperanza nos lanza hacia lo desconocido, nos pone camino de lo nuevo, de lo que jamás ha existido.

Why do the least capable now lead the most powerful? Why is brilliance punished and conformity rewarded? And why does modern America, once a beacon of innovation, now seem obsessed with stupidity? In The Death of Intelligence: Why America Rewards Idiots, a scathing and uncompromising exploration unfolds. This book charts how American institutions—from government and education to media and tech—systematically suppress intelligence in favor of compliance. The result isn't just dysfunction. It's a cultural architecture that mass-produces performative incompetence and brands it as ...

In this book I examine five major premises that drive American life.

What happens when you stop asking for permission to think? Why the Elites Hate the Self-Educated is a bold, unflinching critique of how institutions—academic, corporate, and governmental—systematically exclude, marginalize, and suppress those who learn outside sanctioned systems. With surgical precision and a dry, cutting tone, this book exposes the soft weaponry of conformity: credentials masquerading as competence, bureaucracy dressed up as rigor, and “culture fit” as an excuse for gatekeeping. Drawing on history, sociology, and institutional psychology, the book maps the ...

“It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.” With this chilling declaration, Niccolò Machiavelli opens the gates to one of the most infamous and fascinating political texts ever written. The Prince is not merely a book—it is a descent into the dark heart of power, ambition, and the forces that shape nations and leaders. Written in 1513, amidst the treacherous landscape of Renaissance Italy—a fractured land torn by war, corruption, and foreign domination—this brief but intense treatise offers a master class in political strategy.

Critique of Pure Passion was largely written in Mozambique in 1997 and first published the following year in Uruguay. It is composed of 358 compacts, each of which is a unit in itself. However, this collection of essays revolves around a few basic themes: the formation of ethics and morals based on the fears and anxieties that persist throughout history—renouncement; the ways of understanding and representing the world, life and death, history and the present; humanistic evolution; and the reactions of traditional powers. According to newspaper La República of Montevideo, Uruguay, "In ...

Have you ever questioned reality? Not in the abstract, philosophical way, but in the eerie, spine-tingling moments when the world just doesn’t seem quite right? Like when a stranger says exactly what you were thinking. When the same numbers keep following you. When time seems to skip. Or when you look in the mirror and wonder: am I real—or just playing a role I didn’t choose?

You’ve been sold a story: That if you meditate hard enough, chant the right mantras, or follow the right guru, you’ll finally arrive — at peace, at bliss, at some glittering finish line called “enlightenment.” You’ve been told that ego is the enemy, that suffering can be transcended, that awakening is just a retreat, a breathwork session, or a plant medicine ceremony away. This book calls bullshit. I call bullshit. The Lie of Enlightenment: The Myth of Modern Spirituality is not another self-help guide wrapped in Sanskrit. It’s not here to comfort you with platitudes or tell ...
