An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

Adam Smith

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations," Adam Smith deftly explores the foundations of economic theory, presenting a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of production, labor, and trade. Employing a luminous prose style that intertwines philosophical introspection with empirical observation, Smith navigates the complexities of a burgeoning capitalist society in the 18th century. His seminal work critiques mercantilism while advocating for free markets and the 'invisible hand' that guides economic self-interest towards collective benefit, solidifying the book's status as a cornerstone of classical economics. Adam Smith, often revered as the father of modern economics, was not only a philosopher but also a keen observer of human behavior, shaped by the Enlightenment ideals of his time. With a background in moral philosophy and an acute awareness of the socio-political currents of his era, Smith crafted this treatise to challenge prevailing economic doctrines and to illustrate the potential of individual initiative in fostering societal wealth. Readers seeking to comprehend the intricacies of economic principles and their historical evolution will find Smith's work indispensable. "Wealth of Nations" is not merely an economic manuscript; it is a profound discourse on human society that continues to resonate with contemporary debates on capitalism and ethics in economics.

20 Embodied Practices for...

Jan Winhall, PhD. Stephen Porges

Trauma and addiction heal in tandem with this paradigm-shifting approach. 
 
 
 
What if addiction, dissociation, and other manifestations of trauma were not framed as diseases or disorders, but rather as adaptive methods of regulating the autonomic nervous system (ANS)? This book takes that approach, and guides listeners through twenty embodied practices that promote the rewiring of the ANS. By integrating the latest neuroscience from Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Theory with Eugene Gendlin's embodied felt sense, Jan Winhall's Felt Sense Polyvagal Model is a paradigm-shifting, deeply somatic approach to healing trauma and addiction. 
 
 
 
Listeners are presented with two vital tools for healing: learning how to recognize and rewire their autonomic state, and finding the felt sense of somatic wisdom. This compassionate and inviting model centers the intelligence of the body to allow for deep healing, and these twenty step-by step exercises present an accessible approach for clinicians, their clients, and anyone on the journey to healing from trauma and addiction. The book's exercises are uniquely designed to be completed either with a mental health professional, another person engaged in this embodied process (a felt sense partner), or both.
