Sinossi

In "The Consolation of Philosophy," Boethius eloquently explores the profound themes of fate, fortune, and the nature of true happiness through a dialogue with Lady Philosophy. Written during his imprisonment, this seminal work marries the elegance of Classical philosophy with the emerging contours of Medieval thought. Employing a blend of prose and verse, Boethius crafts a rich tapestry that reflects the tension between external circumstances and internal virtue, rendering it a cornerstone of both philosophical and literary discourse in the Western tradition. Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius, a Roman philosopher and statesman, lived during a tumultuous era marked by political upheaval and personal tragedy. His extensive education in the Platonic and Aristotelian traditions, alongside his high-profile roles in the court of Theodoric, uniquely positioned him to grapple with life's uncertainties and the quest for meaning. This personal context profoundly influenced his reflections, as he faced the stark realities of fortune's capriciousness. I highly recommend "The Consolation of Philosophy" to anyone seeking solace in times of despair or pondering the philosophical intricacies of life. Boethius' insights continue to resonate, offering timeless wisdom that transcends cultural and historical boundaries, encouraging readers to find peace through intellectual contemplation.

    Most people are stuck living life on autopilot. Are you ready to break free?  
    At the root of all healing work is awakening consciousness, a process of shining light into the darkness of the unknown. In recent years, Dr. Nicole LePera has become the leading voice in psychological self-healing, helping millions of people around the world rise out of survival mode to consciously create authentic lives they love. 
    In her first book, How to Do the Work, Dr. Nicole offered readers a revolutionary, holistic framework for self-healing. Now, in How to Meet Your Self, she shares a book designed to help every listener uncover their Authentic Self. By objectively and compassionately observing the physical, mental, and emotional patterns that fill our days and create our current selves, we can more clearly see what we do not wish to carry into the future. 
    We all fall into conditioned habits and patterns—products of our past—that lead to cycles of pain, stuckness, and self-destruction. But as Dr. Nicole shares, we also have the innate ability to awaken to and change the behaviors and habits that no longer serve us, allowing us to step into the highest versions of ourselves. And as you work through this book and witness these default habits, from sleep to movement to eating, through emotional reactivity and core beliefs, you will never again have to ask: “but where do I start?” 
    How to Meet Your Self is a revolutionary guide, a kind and encouraging companion, and a comprehensive masterwork of self-understanding that will radically transform your inner work and outer world. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    The 7 Deadly Sins -...

    Seven titles in one book. All the seven deadly sins explained and analyzed. 
    Book 1: Envy 
    Envy is often something we point out in others, but if we face the facts and admit to being imperfect, finding it in ourselves can actually improve our lives, our attitude, and our happiness. When we figure out where our feelings are wrong, we can take action and change our mindset. So many people think of envy as a sin against others, but actually, we are doing this to ourselves. We create our own misery by looking at others and comparing ourselves to them. 
    Book 2: Gluttony 
    Gluttony has been mistaken for many things in the past. Some people judge others for being fat. Some are confused as to how far to go when indulging themselves in delicious foods. And others wonder if self-discipline in general is the underlying commandment that is related to the sin of gluttony. Understanding the sin, and the essence of it, can be life changing. It can mean the difference between a constant nagging feeling or urge to have more, and on the other hand, a divine feeling of contentment and a smile on your face. 
    Book 3: Greed 
    We’ve heard it before: The love of money is the root of all evil. Greed, or avarice, has caused many to “err from the faith” according to Paul, who wrote to Timothy. “Flee these things,” he said, urging him—and all of us—to concentrate on Christlike qualities instead of worldly possessions, and on treasures in heaven, not on earth. Greed is everywhere. It is almost unavoidable. If we let go of the possessions that so easily possess us, we can focus more on God and His purposes. 
      
    Other vices include lust, sloth, wrath, and pride. Listen to this eye-opening audiobook now!
