Beschreibung

In "The History of England: From the Britons of Early Times to King John," David Hume presents a comprehensive chronicle that deftly intertwines political narrative with philosophical reflection. Hume's literary style is marked by its clarity and elegance, employing a conversational tone that invites readers into the complex web of England'Äôs past. The book is situated within the Enlightenment context, showcasing Hume'Äôs commitment to rational examination and skepticism, thereby setting a precedent for historical analysis that balances empirical inquiry with moral consideration. David Hume, an eminent Scottish Enlightenment philosopher and historian, drew upon his profound intellectual tradition to craft this monumental work. His rigorous training in philosophy and economics informed his historical approach, which emphasizes the interplay between human nature, governance, and societal evolution. Hume'Äôs own experiences in an age ripe with political upheaval and scientific progress deeply influenced his perception of history as a vital commentary on civilization's moral and social trajectory. Hume's "The History of England" is an essential read for those interested in the evolution of historical writing. It offers insights not only into England's formative years but also into the nature of history itself. Scholars and history enthusiasts alike will find this work enlightening, as it encourages a critical lens through which to view both the past and its implications for contemporary society.

    Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
     
       
     
    In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
     
      
     
    Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.

    “Suneel Gupta shares how to chisel away the everyday layers that prevent us from clarity and joy. Written with compassion and wit, you will find yourself within its pages, and by the book’s end, it’s very possible that you will have uncovered just what most lights the fire within you.” —Sharon Salzberg, New York Times bestselling author of Lovingkindness and Real Life 
    Find your Dharma—your inner calling—and learn to integrate ambition, work, and wellbeing to create a balanced, joyous life with this practical, life-changing guide from the beloved speaker, bestselling author, and visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School. 
    We’ve been conditioned, from an early age, to believe that one day we’ll reach a moment of “arrival.” But no matter how much we achieve or acquire we still don’t feel as satisfied or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted, we become burned out and cynical, questioning the purpose of it all. 
    An expert on happiness and work, Suneel Gupta argues that for too long society has been fixated on the Future of Work and ignored the Future of Worth. We’ve compartmentalized work and well-being and ignored the fact that both are essential for sustained success. We’ve assumed that outer success leads to inner well-being–despite history showing us that this has never been the case. 
    In Everyday Dharma, Suneel helps us break this negative cycle. A captivating storyteller, he weaves personal stories, history, science, Eastern philosophy, and Western modalities in this engaging, enlightening, and prescriptive book. He begins by helping us identify our dharma, the essence of who we are. When you’re in your Dharma, you feel confident, creative, and caring, with a sense of purpose, and that shines through your life and work. 
    Everyday Dharma provides an accessible three-step approach to discovering, understanding, and living your “sacred calling.” At its center are self-assessments to help you identify your passions and powerful rituals for building new habits—ancient practices supported by science and found in diverse cultural sources, including Toni Morrison’s novels, Jimi Hendrix’s lyrics, and Frida Kahlo’s paintings, and used by the likes of Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi. 
    Finding your dharma empowers you to let go of anxiety, follow your wildest ambitions, produce your life’s work, and experience true joy.
