  How to be yourself at a party where you don’t know anyone?
  (Does the self exist?)
  Why does Grandma put a cap and a plaid sweater on her Yorkie?

  How could I have stayed with such a stupid guy for so long?
  (Do we only desire things that we consider good?)
   
  When we hear “philosophy,” we sometimes think of incomprehensible or boring books. The very names of the authors are unpronounceable: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger. Living or dead, they often look like zombies. They are in their own world and use words that we do not always understand, like “idiosyncrasy,” “ontological,” or “transcendental.” In this book, we hope to remove these prejudices. Philosophy is not boring; it allows us to understand complex things in a simple way, and therefore it is never far from everyday life. It speaks to everyone. It is for everyone.

  An In-Depth Biography on the Life and Work of Missionary Elisabeth Elliot
  Elisabeth Elliot (1926–2015) is one of the most widely known Christians of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. After the death of her husband, Jim, and four other missionaries at the hands of Waorani tribesmen in Ecuador, Elliot famously returned to live among the same people who had killed her husband.

Austen takes readers on an in-depth journey through the life of Elisabeth Elliot—her birth to missionary parents, her courtship and marriage to Jim Elliot, her missions work in Ecuador, and her private life and public work after she returned to the United States. Through Elliot's example of love for God and obedience to his commands, readers will ponder what it means to follow Jesus.

  Ecce Homo

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  Ecce Homo is a philosophical autobiography written by Friedrich Nietzsche towards the end of his life. In this work, Nietzsche reflects on his life, his philosophical views, and his legacy. The title, which means "behold the man" in Latin, is taken from Pontius Pilate's words when he presents Jesus to the crowd before his crucifixion. Nietzsche uses this phrase to present himself as a kind of messiah of a new philosophy, proclaiming the birth of a new era of thought. Ecce Homo is a complex and challenging work that has been interpreted in many different ways. Some readers see it as a celebration of Nietzsche's life and ideas, while others view it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of radical individualism. Regardless of how it is interpreted, however, Ecce Homo remains an important and influential work in the history of philosophy. Read in English, unabridged.
