    1.Relationship without image is love 
    Relationship means action and movement. 
    Without understanding the totality of human relationship we live in conflict, however intimate we may be. 
    When there is knowledge as image in relationship there is conflict. 
    2.The meaning of life pleasure and fear 
    "Is life a mere struggle within and without; laborious, painful, anxious, and then death? 
    What place has thought and what is the structure of thinking? 
    Pleasure is the continuance of an incident which is dead, past. Thought pursues that incident which becomes pleasure. 
    3.Order love and death 
    In our life there is very little order. 
    Most of us conform, which is the very essence of disorder. 
    We conform because we want to succeed inwardly or outwardly; success to us is the most important thing in life. 
    Order and virtue come with the understanding of disorder. 
    4.Religion and meditation 
    What part does religion play in one’s life? 
    How do you know that you or anyone has attained enlightenment or reached the highest form of religious thought? 
    How can a mind which is always in conflict within itself find that which has never been in conflict? 
    In inquiring into meditation, do not follow anybody. 
    Meditation is a daily life in which there is no control whatsoever. 
    When dealing with psychological facts, is the observer different from the thing observed? 
    A certain part of the brain can function efficiently only when it has total order, security. 
    The moment you are aware you are silent it is not silence. 
    Silence is the highest order. 
    In silence, parts of the brain which have not been occupied become totally active.

    An inviting and accessible new translation of Aristotle's complete Poetics—the first and best introduction to the art of writing and understanding stories 
     
     
     
    Aristotle's Poetics is the most important book ever written for writers and readers of stories—whether novels, short fiction, plays, screenplays, or nonfiction. Aristotle was the first to identify the keys to plot, character, audience perception, tragic pleasure, and dozens of other critical points of good storytelling. Despite being written more than 2,000 years ago, the Poetics remains essential reading for anyone who wants to learn how to write a captivating story—or understand how such stories work and achieve their psychological effects. Yet for all its influence, the Poetics is too little read because it comes down to us in a form that is often difficult to follow, and even the best translations are geared more to specialists than to general readers who simply want to grasp Aristotle's profound and practical insights. In How to Tell a Story, Philip Freeman presents the most accessible translation of the Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable book more engaging and useful than ever before.

    Why does your partner feel so far away... when they're lying right next to you? 
    You used to laugh more. Touch more. Understand each other without saying a word. 
    Now? The silence feels heavier than the arguments. 
    And yet, deep down, you know the connection isn’t gone — it’s just buried. Under stress, routine, misunderstandings, unspoken disappointments. 
    But here’s the truth: 
    Communication isn’t just about “talking.” It’s about knowing each other — truly, deeply — even in the messiest, most vulnerable moments. 
    This audiobook is your quiet, unfiltered guide back to that connection. 
    You’ll finally stop guessing how your partner feels. You’ll stop rehearsing what to say. 
    Instead, you’ll start hearing each other again — and feeling heard, too. 
    Inside, you’ll discover how to: 
    •	Decode your partner’s emotional style — and your own 
    •	Get past surface-level “issues” to uncover what’s really going on 
    •	Use empathy to defuse tension instead of escalating it 
    •	Build trust through small, everyday moments — not big declarations 
    •	Spot the patterns that keep fueling arguments (and change them without blame) 
    •	Reconnect without needing hours of therapy or impossible compromises 
    •	Understand how childhood, past relationships, and personal goals shape your dynamic 
    •	Ask better questions that actually bring you closer 
    •	Create shared goals without losing your identity 
    •	Repair emotional intimacy — even if things feel fragile right now 
    If you're ready to drop the defenses, clear the confusion, and feel close again — for real this time…You won’t just want this. You’ll need it.
