Sinopse

Arrian Epictetus's "Enchiridion & The Discourses of Epictetus" serves as a profound entry point into Stoic philosophy, encapsulating the teachings of the great Stoic philosopher Epictetus as imparted by his devoted student, Arrian. The text combines accessibility with philosophical depth, employing a clear and didactic style that reflects the oral tradition from which Epictetus's teachings emerged. By distilling complex ideas into practical maxims and relatable parables, Arrian provides readers with not just intellectual insights but actionable wisdom relevant to everyday life, emphasizing the importance of internal virtue over external circumstances. Arrian, a Roman historian and philosopher, was depicted as a man deeply influenced by the ethical teachings of Epictetus, whom he studied during his time in Nicopolis. His background as a military officer and a student of rhetoric rates him a keen observer of human behavior and ethical dilemmas, enabling him to present Epictetus's ideas in a manner that resonates with both scholars and lay readers. His commitment to preserving Epictetus's philosophy reflects the value he placed on Stoicism as a guide for personal resilience and moral integrity. This edition is highly recommended for anyone seeking a foundational understanding of Stoic thought, as it reveals timeless principles of self-discipline and virtue.

This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official
In "Good Inside" by Becky Kennedy, parents are offered a transformative perspective and practical tools to shift from feelings of frustration and self-blame to empowerment and confident leadership in parenting. Dr. Becky challenges the traditional model of child-rearing, which relies on rewards, punishments, and behavior modification techniques that often fail to address children's complex emotional needs and long-term skill development. Instead, she introduces a profound and simple truth: both parents and children have inherent goodness within them. There are no "bad kids" or "bad parents"; there are only good kids struggling and good parents striving to fulfill their roles effectively.
Dr. Becky advocates for a shift in focus from discipline to connection, emphasizing the importance of secure attachment in helping children navigate challenging times. "Good Inside" serves as both a manifesto and a practical guide, promoting self-development for parents alongside child development. It provides strategies for shifting perspectives and offers troubleshooting advice for specific parenting scenarios, such as sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more. This book empowers a generation of parents to raise their children in a way that fosters resilience, confidence, and self-regulation, all while recognizing and nurturing the innate goodness in themselves and their kids.

Lourdes - The Famous Roman...

Kelly Mass

You may have heard of Lourdes, a town in France where millions of people go every year, either as a tourist to take pictures or see what the hype is all about, or real believers who think that the town has a sanctity to it and can somehow cure them, help them, or inspire them through divine means. Whatever the reason for the many visitors is, it is undeniably an interesting historical heritage, something worth exploring. 
To be precise, Lourdes is a small market town nestled in the Pyrenees' foothills. It is in the Occitanie area of southern France and is a part of the Hautes-Pyrénées department. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, the town was well-known for the Château fort de Lourdes, a prepared castle set down atop a rocky cliff in the town's heart. 
Today, I invite you to explore the background and historicity of this town with me, to form your own opinion, and to be open-minded to the story beneath the surface, buried in the past and brought to light in the many narratives the presenters at the site tell. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to visit it sometime yourself, and if or when you do, you will be equipped with more knowledge than the majority of the visitors. Perhaps that way, it will touch you more.

Albigensian Crusade and Hussite...

Editors Charles River

Eastern Christians did not acknowledge the Pope's supremacy, and many Catholics felt that it was lawful for him to declare a crusade to bring schismatics back to the obedience of Rome. German knights fighting the Orthodox Russians at the Battle on the Ice in 1242 believed this, as did the Hungarian prosecutors of the 1235 invasion of Bosnia, which was thinly disguised as a crusade. The Church even extended the object of crusade to believers in communion with Rome, who refused to obey lawful authority. After peasants revolted against the Prince-Archbishop of Bremen in 1204 over tithes and land rights, Pope Gregory IX was persuaded to declare them heretics and proclaim a crusade against them, and when the “heresy” of Catharism began to take root in southeastern France toward the end of the 12th century, both Church and State considered the use of force to extirpate it. 
If John Wycliffe was the “Morning Star of the Reformation,” Jan Hus was the Guiding Star of the movement. Hus started as a Czech priest, but he quickly became notorious for debating several Church doctrines such as the Eucharist, Church ecclesiology, and many more topics. Today, he is viewed as a predecessor of the Lutherans, but the Church viewed him as a threat, and the Catholics eventually engaged Hus’ followers (known as Hussites) in several battles in the early 15th century. Hus himself was burned at the stake in 1415, but his followers fought on in a series of battles known as the Hussite Wars, and Czechoslovakia’s inhabitants by and large remained Hussite afterward. About 100 years later, Martin Luther would spark the Reformation across the continents. 
The Albigensian Crusade and Hussite Wars: The History of the Catholic Campaigns against Christian Minorities in Europe before the Protestant Reformation examines the origins of the Cathars and Hussites, the conflicts with Catholicism, and the results of the fighting.
