  In einer groß angelegten europaweit durchgeführten Studie – mit einem besonderen Schwerpunkt auf die den sog. Visegrád-Staaten – war es Zielsetzung, die Unternehmensethik als Wettbewerbsfaktor zu erforschen. Dies mit dem Ziel, die Voraussetzungen für den nachhaltigen Transfer ethischer Werte in die unternehmerische Praxis (das unternehmerische (Personal-)Management) zu untersuchen und daraus portable Modelle für die Implementierung und Validierung (Zertifizierung, Messung) ethischer Schlüsselwerte zu entwickeln. Leitfrage der Untersuchung war es dabei, wie sich der Bezug zwischen ökonomischem Interesse und ethischer Normenorientierung so vermitteln lässt, dass die Etablierung ethischer Werte im Unternehmensmanagement anstatt zu einer Einschränkung zu einer Erhöhung der Wettbewerbsstärke (Ethik als Erfolgsfaktor) führt.

  This collection brings together three powerful narratives from diverse cultures, each telling stories of cleverness, bravery, and the battle between good and evil. 
  The first story takes you through the myths of The Trickster Gods, devious and mischievous deities who use wit and cunning to challenge the status quo. Often playing pranks on gods and humans alike, these figures represent chaos and creativity, teaching important lessons about the consequences of trickery and the unpredictable nature of life. From the Norse Loki to the African Anansi, these tricksters serve as both villains and saviors, weaving their own kind of order out of disorder. 
  Next, venture into The Heroes of Myth, timeless figures whose valor and determination have inspired generations. These legendary warriors—like Hercules, Achilles, and Perseus—embody the ideals of courage, honor, and the willingness to face great challenges for the greater good. Their stories, filled with monsters, gods, and impossible feats, have shaped the way we view heroism and sacrifice across cultures and time periods. 
  Finally, explore Native American Legends, a rich tapestry of stories passed down through generations of indigenous peoples. These legends highlight the deep connection between humans, nature, and the spiritual world. From powerful tricksters like Coyote to brave heroes who protect their communities, these myths are filled with wisdom, moral lessons, and reflections on the balance between the material and spiritual realms. 
  Tricksters and Heroes invites readers to embrace the complexity of human nature through the lens of mythology, where mischief, valor, and everything in between reveal truths about the world we live in.

  The Varieties of Religious...

  There can be no doubt that as a matter of fact a religious life, exclusively pursued, does tend to make the person exceptional and eccentric. I speak not now of your ordinary religious believer, who follows the conventional observances of his country, whether it be Buddhist, Christian, or Mohammedan. His religion has been made for him by others, communicated to him by tradition, determined to fixed forms by imitation, and retained by habit. It would profit us little to study this second-hand religious life. We must make search rather for the original experiences which were the pattern-setters to all this mass of suggested feeling and imitated conduct. These experiences we can only find in individuals for whom religion exists not as a dull habit, but as an acute fever rather. But such individuals are "geniuses" in the religious line; and like many other geniuses who have brought forth fruits effective enough for commemoration in the pages of biography, such religious geniuses have often shown symptoms of nervous instability. Even more perhaps than other kinds of genius, religious leaders have been subject to abnormal psychical visitations. Invariably they have been creatures of exalted emotional sensibility. Often they have led a discordant inner life, and had melancholy during a part of their career. They have known no measure, been liable to obsessions and fixed ideas; and frequently they have fallen into trances, heard voices, seen visions, and presented all sorts of peculiarities which are ordinarily classed as pathological. Often, moreover, these pathological features in their career have helped to give them their religious authority and influence.

  To uncover your true self, you need to strip away your beauty. You need to become vulnerable. 
  I sat motionless while the clippers buzzed. My hair fell to the ground, carrying away my sense of pride. 
  He’s my rival. I shouldn’t trust him. 
  But it’s too late now. 
  Bald, sweaty, and naked, I kneel at his feet. He snaps photos. He posts them online. 
  I’m so grateful for this lesson. I’m ready to accept his exquisite gift.
