God Money, God Power, Where is God Love? is not about religion, and it is not about politics. It is a message I wanted to share with the world that money is not as important if our hearts are filled with so much love. Love leads us to understanding and shows gratitude toward others. I express my deepest love for humanity, and my heart is open for all the children in this world, believing that these young children are the ones who open the doors to a better future. This cannot be done by one person alone. It starts in the home with proper guidance and values as the foundation.

Why spend countless hours indoors in front of screens when being in nature feels so good? In learning why and how to nurture our emotional connection with nature, we can also regenerate the ecosystems on which we depend for our survival. Renewal explores the science behind why being in nature makes us feel alive and helps us thrive.

A manifesto for deep and radical change, Creating Freedom explores the limits placed on freedom by human nature and society. It explodes myths, calling for a profound transformation in the way we think about democracy, equality, and our own identities.

Culto della giovinezza, idolatria dell'intelligenza, ossessione della crescita economica, tirannia della moda: sono alcuni dei miti di oggi che Umberto Galimberti passa in rassegna per smontarli e denunciarne la natura ingannevole, mostrando come i falsi miti siano in realtà "idee malate", non avvertite come tali, e quindi tanto più capaci di diffondere i loro effetti nefasti senza trovare la minima resistenza. Sono i miti del nostro tempo, le idee che più di altre ci pervadono e ci plasmano come individui e come società.

Véritable guide de combat rhétorique, Schopenhauer nous invite, afin de convaincre en public, à ne reculer devant rien. Pour avoir toujours raison, il faut ainsi utiliser des stratagèmes tels que manipuler les réponses, utiliser une contre-proposition absurde, ou retourner les arguments de l'adversaire contre lui-même.

Cosa significa essere donna? Non alzare la voce, non ribellarsi. Obbedire al padre, al marito, alla società. Significa calma e sottomissione. Dover essere una brava bambina, poi una brava moglie e una brava madre. Eppure per qualcuna tutto questo non basta. Attraverso otto storie che spaziano dal mito alla contemporaneità, gli autori raccontano l'altra faccia della luna: e cioè come fin dagli albori dell'umanità, in saghe, leggende ed epopee letterarie, i modelli di donne forti sono sempre stati ridotti al silenzio.

John Biguenet explora distintos aspectos que circundan ese elemento tan inasible que es el silencio, desde el silencio comercializado (las salas VIP de los aeropuertos que nos permiten "escapar" del ruido) hasta el silencio aterrador (las cámaras anecoicas donde solo escuchamos el fluir de la sangre por nuestras venas o el latir de nuestro corazón), y nos permite descubrir que no existe "el" silencio, sino distintas formas de silencio.

Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, this classic text is an enquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. With remarkable lucidity and deft use of allegory, Plato arrives at a depiction of a state bound by harmony and ruled by philosopher kings.

Karl Marx's philosophical critique of capitalism and his solution of communism directly led to the formation of the communist state in the Soviet Union. Whilst this great venture has now all but completely failed, Marx’s philosophy has proved to be arguably the most influential of the 20th century; the influence of Marxism can be seen in subjects as diverse as the infamous policies of Joseph Stalin to many of the progressive humanitarian reforms of the 20th century. The audiobook is an expert account of Marx’s life and philosophical ideas - entertainingly written and above all easy listening.

Das unordentliche Gefühl, das wir Liebe nennen, beleuchtet Richard David Precht auf bewährt kluge und anschauliche Weise...

This audiobook is about my ever expanding, developing, and changing views on what I believe to be consciousness and its construct, reality. Now more than ever, I believe people need to define who they are and why they are here in this reality. The notion of a soul, or an eternal life, or what comes next are questions on everyone's mind. This is an ever-present friend or foe as we see fit. I believe consciousness and brain are the keys to this mystery, as well as to our universe.

In "The Willow, the Tortoise, and the Wheel," renowned author and researcher W. Sumner Davis brings his academic rigor and personal journey to explore the disconcerting paradox of our times: the coexistence of unprecedented material prosperity with a pervasive sense of discontentment and despair. Born into a rural farming community in 1960, Davis' early years were fraught with hardship. As a child grappling with undiagnosed Dyslexia and High Functioning Autism, Davis navigated a world of rejection at home and school, which would result in Complex Posttraumatic stress.

La sensibilidad no es un fenómeno nuevo; ocupa en la historia de nuestra sociedad un papel importante como motor del progreso civilizador. La urbanización y la tecnificación hacen al ser humano más sensible, porque al ampliarse el acceso a los derechos se agudiza también la percepción de las injusticias y de las vulneraciones que estas causan. Sin embargo, las posiciones al respecto se vuelven cada vez más rígidas: liberales e igualitarios, gente de derechas y de izquierdas, viejos y jóvenes, se enfrentan y propician una erosión creciente de la cultura democrática del discurso.

În noua lui carte, Mark Manson își îndreaptă atenția asupra nesfârșitelor nenorociri care au loc în lume. Inspirându-se din cercetările psihologice legate de aceste subiecte, precum și din înțelepciunea atemporală a lui Platon, Nietzsche sau a legendarului Tom Waits, el disecă religia și politica și modul în care acestea au ajuns să semene între ele. Manson analizează relația noastră cu banii, cu industria de divertisment și cu internetul, arătând că, oricât de bun ar fi un lucru, dacă este consumat în exces, ne poate omorî—psihologic vorbind.

Depending on your perspective, the criminal justice systems of Western civilization are either broken or operating precisely as intended. Either way, the jury is no longer out. Our institutions must be wholly reimagined. The philosophical foundations of thought need to be brought into the 21st century.

The Enchiridion and Discourses is a compilation of Epictetus's philosophical teachings. Although Epictetus spent much of his life as a slave, he believed that all people were free to control their emotional well-being and live in harmony with their circumstance and those around them. His works are a guide for applying philosophy to day-to-day living. Although many of the great philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, promoted grand ideas, they never approached the subject of integrating those ideas into everyday life.
