Sinopse

In "Women and Politics," Charles Kingsley presents a compelling examination of the intersection between gender and political agency in the 19th century. Kingsley utilizes a blend of passionate rhetoric and nuanced argumentation to challenge contemporary societal norms that restrict women's roles in public life. The book is situated within the context of the Victorian era, characterized by a burgeoning discourse on women's rights, and employs a didactic literary style that incorporates both poetic language and persuasive prose, aiming to awaken a sense of civic duty among women and inspire political activism. As a noted Victorian author, historian, and social reformer, Charles Kingsley'Äôs commitment to social justice and his engagement with progressive movements reflect the broader currents of his time. His awareness of the disparities faced by women'Äîexemplified by his involvement in various reformist causes'Äîserved as a catalyst for writing this book. Kingsley'Äôs perspective is rooted in his belief that women possess the intellectual capacity and moral authority to shape political landscapes, making his arguments both forward-thinking and revolutionary for the era. "Women and Politics" is essential reading for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the historical foundations of feminism and political thought. Kingsley's work invites contemporary readers to reflect on ongoing dialogues around gender equality and encourages a re-examination of the role that women can and should play in shaping democratic governance.

    Zarathustra, is a prophet who has spent years in solitude in the mountains, seeking enlightenment. He eventually descends from the mountains to share his wisdom with humanity. Throughout the book, Nietzsche presents his ideas on a variety of topics, including morality, religion, the nature of existence, and the human condition. He challenges traditional views on these subjects, advocating for a new, individualistic perspective that encourages the pursuit of one's own path in life. "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is known for its poetic and often cryptic language, as well as its challenging ideas. It has been interpreted in many different ways, and remains a cornerstone of Nietzsche's philosophy. Read in English, unabridged.

    EQ+MH=PH Emotions! How to live...

    “How emotional you are!”  
    So often we hear this comment from a friend or a family member.   
    Mostly we fumble as we think of a response because we do not know what to say as we cannot relate to what it means to be ‘emotional.’  
    Emotions make us human.  
    They give us information about what is going on inside us.  
    Emotional Quotient (EQ) is the level of awareness of what is taking place or going to take place. It is the ability to comprehend and use that knowledge effectively. Emotions help us reflect on how we are mentally equipped to give our life direction. Our emotional responses make us win friends, build healthy relationships or lose them. It is our EQ that allows us to stay ahead at work, and be focused and cheerful.   
    In recent times there is a lot of focus on one dimension of human well-being, physical health.  
    But then, physical health is just one part of our overall health. A partial one.  
    The equation to have a healthy life begins with a healthy and high EQ plus a healthy mind.  
    Once these two, our emotional quotient (EQ) and mental health (MH) are in place then our physical health (PH) will be in good shape. If we have a high EQ then even if we have any physical illness it will not make us stressed or discouraged to live a good and effective life. This seems understandable and logical but is very difficult to follow. This is where this book helps. Not only to open the perspective of well-being and health to have a multidimensional outlook but also to sustain it. too,

    Inside Vasubandhu's Yogacara - A...

    In this book, Ben Connelly guides us through the intricacies of Yogacara and the richness of the "Thirty Verses." His warm and wise voice unpacks and contextualizes its wisdom, showing us how we can apply its ancient insights to our own modern lives, to create a life of engaged peace, harmony, compassion, and joy. 
     
     
     
    In fourth-century India one of the great geniuses of Buddhism, Vasubandhu, sought to reconcile the diverse ideas and forms of Buddhism practiced at the time and demonstrate how they could be effectively integrated into a single system. This was the Yogacara movement, and it continues to have great influence in modern Tibetan and Zen Buddhism. 
     
     
     
    Vasubandhu's "Thirty Verses" lay out a path of practice that integrates the most powerful of Buddhism's psychological and mystical possibilities. Although Yogacara has a reputation for being extremely complex, the "Thirty Verses" distills the principles of these traditions to their most practical forms, and this book follows that sense of focus; it goes to the heart of the matter—how do we alleviate suffering through shedding our emotional knots and our sense of alienation? 
     
     
     
    This is a great introduction to a philosophy, a master, and a work whose influence reverberates throughout modern Buddhism.
