  Man: King of Mind Body and...

  James Allen

  "The problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the school-boy. When mastered, all difficulty disappears, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political, or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrong-living. As they are solved in the heart of each individual, they will be solved in the mass of men. Humanity at present is in the painful stage of “learning.” It is confronted with the difficulties of its own ignorance. As men learn to live rightly, learn to direct their forces and use their functions and faculties by the light of wisdom, the sum of life will be correctly done, and its mastery will put an end to all the “problems of evil.” To the wise, all such problems have ceased. " 
  In this short work, Allen explores the way in which our minds create and interact with our circumstances, travelling from the inner world of thoughts to the final conquest of the spirit. On the way he explores the way in which we create our own futures through the habits we choose, how bodily conditions are no excuse for spiritual weakness, and how true poverty is of the mind, not the circumstances.

  Understanding Feminism

  The male/female dichotomy is not obvious, and the feminist “we” is far from self-evident; its definition changes according to currents and ideologies. As well as fighting male domination, feminism can also defend different expressions of gender and sexuality. By examining the ideas defended by the different currents and how they fit into the social landscape, this book clarifies the direction in which they must unite if feminism is to remain a historically fertile movement.

  The Persian Continuum

  The Persian Continuum traces how the Achaemenid Empire’s administrative genius, religious pragmatism, and infrastructural vision shaped a vast world stretching from the Aegean to the Indus—and how Alexander’s lightning conquests disrupted but did not erase that order. Through a sequence of richly drawn chapters, the book follows the Persian high tide under Xerxes, the long wars and negotiations with Greek city-states, and the empire’s resilient governance from Egypt to Bactria. It then charts Macedon’s rise under Philip II, Alexander’s campaigns and statecraft, and the striking continuity of Persian institutions under Hellenistic rulers. 
  Beyond conquest, the narrative explores what came after: Seleucid experiments in Greek cityhood layered over Iranian provincial rule, Parthian aristocratic federalism built on cavalry and caravan routes, and Sasanian resurgence with law, priesthood, and fortified frontiers. The final chapters bring the story into the present, revealing how Achaemenid ideas—satrapies and couriers, plural law and shared rituals, standardized coinage and road networks—continue to inform modern governance, diplomacy, and identity. Blending military history with economic systems, religious life, and everyday experience, the book illuminates how empires rise and endure, and how their vocabularies of order survive long after the names on the coins have changed.

  On the Genealogy of Morality

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  What if everything you believed about good and evil was born not from truth… but from resentment? 
  Enter the piercing world of Friedrich Nietzsche, where morality is not sacred—but suspect. In On the Genealogy of Morality, one of philosophy’s most provocative voices unearths the hidden origins of our most cherished values, exposing how power, guilt, and fear shaped the very fabric of human conscience. 
  Nietzsche, the father of existentialism and herald of the Übermensch, dismantles the illusions of traditional morality with fearless intensity. In this daring trilogy of essays, he asks: What drives our moral judgments? Who benefits from them? And what lies beneath our modern sense of “justice”? 
  You’ll be drawn into his ruthless critique of Christian morality, a biting exploration of guilt and punishment, and a haunting dissection of ascetic ideals—each part revealing deeper currents of psychological and cultural manipulation. Nietzsche does not give answers; he cracks open the foundations. 
  More than a century later, his ideas continue to echo through philosophy, literature, and modern thought, challenging generations to confront uncomfortable truths. This audiobook invites you to walk the razor’s edge of moral certainty, where Nietzsche’s insights remain disturbingly relevant in an age of social dogmas and ideological fervor. 
  Narrated with crisp, articulate AI-voicing, this edition offers exceptional clarity—ideal for absorbing the complex rhythms of Nietzsche’s prose. Let his questions haunt you, provoke you, and perhaps even liberate you. 
  Dare to listen. Dare to question. Add On the Genealogy of Morality to your collection now—and begin the descent into the shadows of your own beliefs.

  What has changed in the workplace? Everything.The traditional office was probably doomed anyway. Then a global shutdown changed everything we thought we knew about work, including where and when it needed to take place. Automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have accelerated, and perhaps as much as one third of the world’s permanent workforce will soon become remote. In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm offers a strategic and practical guide to navigating this pivotal moment in the history of work and provides lessons for how both employees and employers can adapt.Hobsbawm draws on her extensive networks in business, academia, and entrepreneurship across  generations to offer new ideas about how to handle hybrid working, as well as provides deep insight into how the way we work is being transformed by larger issues such as community, hierarchy, bias, identity, and security. The Nowhere Office describes a unique moment in the history of work which, if understood and handled correctly, can provide a springboard for the biggest transformational change in the workplace for a century: something better, more meaningful, and more workable for everyone.
