  Crusades in Europe The: The...

  Christianity was not a state religion for its first three centuries, and it was only when Emperor Constantine the Great declared it so in the early 4th century that the Church was faced with the thorny problem of state-sanctioned violence. The first major Christian authority to justify the use of arms in defense of Church and State was Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, who wrote in the 5th century, “They who have waged war in obedience to the divine command or in conformity with His laws, have represented in their persons the public justice or the wisdom of government, and in this capacity have put to death wicked men; such persons have by no means violated the commandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill.’”  
  	This opinion gained increasing influence in Western Christianity, though in the East, the attitude was (and continues to be) more nuanced. War was tolerated as a regrettable necessity in a world wounded by sin but never blessed. Canon law enacted in the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire tended to treat soldiers who had killed as sinners needing to repent, and Bishop Basil of Caesarea (d. c. 330) believed that they needed to abstain from receiving communion for three years after battle. It was not that that the Eastern Roman Empire was a particularly peaceable state–far from it, in fact: it was engaged in almost continuous warfare for its entire existence. However, its conflicts were mostly defensive in character, fighting barbarians, Persians, or Muslims, and the idea of consecrating arms for the cause of Christianity was considered alien to its spirit.  
  At the Council of Clermont in July 1095, Pope Urban II canonized religious war by urging Western Europe's nobility to take up arms in defense of the Byzantine Empire against the Muslims, thus launching the Crusades, and religious military orders such as the Knights of Saint John, the Templars, and the Hospitallers arose.

  The Enchiridion

  Epictetus

  "Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us."
  
  With this single, revolutionary sentence, Epictetus unlocks the secret to an invincible life. The Enchiridion is a collection of 53 short, punchy lessons designed to strip away the anxiety, anger, and grief that come from trying to control the uncontrollable. As a former slave who rose to become one of Rome's most respected teachers, Epictetus speaks with the authority of someone who truly understands hardship. He teaches that our happiness depends not on what happens to us, but on how we interpret what happens. This book is a tactical manual for the soul, providing the psychological armor needed to navigate a world of uncertainty with dignity and calm.
  
  The Power of Perception: Epictetus famously argues that "men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them." The Enchiridion provides the mental exercises necessary to reframe setbacks—from a broken cup to the loss of a job—as opportunities to practice virtue and maintain your "ruling faculty."
  
  The Disciplines of Desire and Action: The handbook outlines how to align your desires with reality. By training yourself to want only what is within your control, you become immune to disappointment. Epictetus guides the reader toward the role of the "cosmopolitan"—a citizen of the world who acts with social duty while remaining internally detached from the outcome.
  
  Why It Is a Global Masterpiece: The Enchiridion has been the bedside companion of emperors, generals, and modern-day leaders for two millennia. From Marcus Aurelius to Admiral James Stockdale in a POW camp, its "no-excuses" approach to personal responsibility and emotional freedom has saved countless minds from despair. It is the shortest path to a life of tranquility.

  We are thrust into a world of comparisons and competition from the time we are born. We are judged based on the colour of our skin, size & shape of our nose, eyes and other body parameters. As we grow older, our value as a person is not only assessed by our parents but also by those around us in the community. Besides, attractiveness and intelligence play a significant role in finding a place for ourselves in society. These factors lead to low self-esteem, which hinders people from achieving their full potential. In the book, Thomas Skaria explores several crucial questions, including what self-esteem is, sources of low self-esteem, signs and impact, and how to find a true basis for self-esteem.

  Rejection: From Fear to Fuel -...

  In the intricate tapestry of human emotions, few threads are as pervasive and powerful as the fear of rejection. "Rejected" explores how this primal fear shapes men's lives, relationships, and identities – often without their conscious awareness. Drawing on Robert Moore's archetypal framework, this groundbreaking audiobook reveals how the four masculine archetypes – King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover – offer complementary pathways to transform rejection from a devastating blow into a catalyst for growth. Each archetype brings unique strengths: the King's inner sovereignty that transcends external validation; the Warrior's disciplined action that converts setback into forward momentum; the Magician's transformative perspective that extracts wisdom from painful experience; and the Lover's capacity to remain open-hearted despite vulnerability. Through practical exercises, real-world applications, and powerful personal stories, listeners will discover how integrating these archetypes creates not just resilience, but true antifragility – becoming STRONGER because of rejection rather than despite it. This isn't about eliminating the fear of rejection – it's about developing a relationship with fear that empowers rather than inhibits. For any man who has ever held back from pursuing dreams, expressing his authentic self, or forming meaningful connections due to rejection fear, this audiobook offers a transformative path forward.

  Lean on Me - A Politics of...

  Longtime feminist activist and writer Lynne Segal searches for hope in her own life and in the world around her, and finds it in our intimate commitments to each other and our shared collective engagements, the two being intertwined. Issues of care, intimacy, education, alongside meaningful work, and social engagement, lie at the core of our ability to understand the world and its possibilities for human flourishing. 
   
   
   
  Not only does our dependence on others not disappear into self-sufficient autonomy once we leave childhood behind—only to re-emerge in very old age—but ignoring human interdependence and our lifelong need for care has been part of a massive and destructive public denial that must be resisted. 
   
   
   
  Segal looks at our shared lifelong dependence on care and the well-being of others. In recounting from her own life the moments of motherhood, and of being on the front line of second wave feminism, Segal draws upon lessons from more than half a century of engagement in Left feminist politics, with its underlying commitment to building a more egalitarian and nurturing world. The personal and the political combine in this rallying cry to radically transform how we approach education, motherhood, and our everyday vulnerabilities of disability, aging, and enhanced needs.
