  A wise and witty collection of quips, quotes, and musings from the world’s greatest geniuses and jokers, proving that “all thinking men are atheists” (Ernest Hemingway) 
   
  From Sophocles to Homer Simpson, The Atheist’s Bible celebrates the long and rich tradition of rejecting organized religion. Included here are insights and observations from scientists, writers, philosophers, and comedians throughout history who have questioned the wisdom (and sanity) of pious believers.  
   
  Far from a cynical polemic, this “bible” shares the same joy, love of beauty, and human wonder that religious books of quotations provide, but with a healthy dose of independent thought and without dogma.

  A Mild Case of Dead - The unseen...

  A Mild Case of Dead examines the folly of pursuing greater satisfaction in life through the goals of health, fitness, and weight loss. It occurs to us as logical to seek these qualities as a way to be more satisfied with our lives, but we seek them only because of a dissatisfaction with our lives. The human design is to be more satisfied with life first. When you’re guided by humanity instead of logic your physical state becomes a byproduct of that satisfaction, not the way to it.  
  Written and narrated by the author, the book explains why he chose to abandon this work and close his gym forever. He realized that the issues that cause people to pursue health and fitness strategies are never resolved with the minutiae of programs or routines or diets because they are internal struggles first. 
  The natural way to be satisfied with your body is to be satisfied with your life. Any other process is only a theory about life, not the real thing.

  Verena Kast refers to Sisyphus as the "myth of the forty-year-olds," who often experience their lot in life to be a Sisyphus task. Are our human efforts all in vain, or is there some meaning to be found? In the end, it is a struggle with death itself.  
  Dr. Kast interprets everyday events, fairy tales and psychotherapy issues in light of the Sisyphus theme, rendering it a kaleidoscope through which we can look deeply into ourselves. 
   
  "Verena Kast deals with a problem that also fascinated Nietzsche and Freud. This book is packed with down-to-earth experience, clinical anecdotes, wit and insight." - Murray Stein
