We are creatures of habit, living most of our lives automatically, in small worlds of more or less comfortable routine. But sometimes outside forces compel us to adjust, and sometimes we must make changes ourselves. What happens when change disrupts our lives? This book is the first in a trilogy which offers an insight unlike any other into the human mind and heart: how we are, how we break, and how we mend. It is about all of us, humbly figuring out how to live.

If you’re not pursuing a rewarding career, if you’re not in loving relationships, if you’re not financially secure, if you’re not healthy and vital, if you aren’t fulfilling your purpose and passion—or don’t even know your purpose or passion—then you’re stopping yourself without even knowing it. Psychic Therapist Vincent Genna explains the mechanisms and processes at work—your brain has unconsciously created that block and even sabotages your efforts to create a meaningful life. The bottom line is you don’t believe what you think you believe!

In the winelands of 16th-century Germany, Obsopoeus witnessed the birth of a poisonous new culture of bingeing, hazing, peer pressure, and competitive drinking. Alarmed, and inspired by the Roman poet Ovid's Art of Love, he wrote The Art of Drinking (1536), a how-to manual for drinking with pleasure and discrimination. In How to Drink, Michael Fontaine offers the first proper English translation of Obsopoeus' text, rendering his poetry into spirited, contemporary prose and uncorking a forgotten classic that will appeal to drinkers of all kinds and (legal) ages.

If life is but a dream, to what do we awake? The central premise of this book is the admittedly ridiculous but incontrovertibly true assertion that the universe does not exist. This is something you can understand conceptually, like watching a documentary about Antarctica, or experientially, like moving to Antarctica. There's also a related phenomenon where you fall asleep watching the documentary and wake up in the frozen wasteland.

The many ills of the modern world can be debilitating. With a lot seemingly senseless violence, pain, and destruction, we need a lot of inner strength to overcome cynicism and despair - and to remain hopeful about the future. With Dr. Peale's careful guidance, you can achieve happiness and security by learning how to: conquer your fear; free yourself of guilty feelings; live well and prosper, personally and professionally; become physically healthy - the natural way; stay enthusiastic even in poor circumstances; tackle problems hopefully and creatively; and harness the power of prayer.

Vincent Giraud, philosophe et professeur à l'université de Doshisha, nous propose d'aborder la pensée médiévale latine sous l'angle de la notion fondamentale de la Création. Non pensée par les Grecs, la création de toutes choses fut à la base des réflexions médiévales sur de nombreux sujets comme l'être, le bien, le beau. Sur une période de presque mille ans, le philosophe fait découvrir une pensée riche, évolutive et dynamique.

This collection brings together history, science, philosophy and comedy to explore our age-old search for meaning. We live in an age of self-improvement and self-examination - lifehacking, wellbeing, self-care, mindfulness retreats - but this seemingly very modern phenomenon is a pursuit that dates back for millennia.

Once in a century or two, a new political theory is formulated to explain current events and offer solutions for the greater good. Past theories included the Philosopher King, Chinese Dynastic Rule, Feudalism, Capitalism, Socialism, Rightest Movements, and the New Left. With the fast spread of digital technology, the source of political power today lies in the democratization of knowledge, along with being the first to develop and exploit new systems. The instantaneous is the imperative. The unstable is now the new stability.

Heeft wetenschap nut? Deze vraag is even briljant als absurd. Absurd omdat er maar weinig mensen zullen twijfelen aan de toegevoegde waarde die de moderne wetenschap ons sinds de wetenschappelijke revolutie heeft gebracht. Toch ook briljant, omdat juist de wetenschap zelf een kritische houding moet hebben t.a.v. alles, dus ook zichzelf.

In Over de dood gesproken maken jongeren het onderwerp bespreekbaar voor jongeren.
