  He was a slave who became a cupbearer.  He was a cupbearer who became a king’s emissary.  He was an emissary who became a leader.  And he was a leader who became a legend.  All because he was a faithful servant of the Most High God.  Consider his story — the portion you may already know … and the rest of the story that could have been.

  Erich Fromm

  Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from "both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability" (Chicago Tribune). 
   
   
   
  As Erich Fromm points out, ours is "a life between having and being"—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. 
   
   
   
  The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

  Seniors' Stories Volume 11

  I congratulate the 100 successful new authors who have contributed to Seniors' Stories Volume 11 who embraced the theme, Then and Now inspiring the stories within. 
  Your submissions covered our Australian culture both past and present with your historical tales and current yarns creating a rich patchwork of topics that evoke nostalgia and for our newer Australian readers, to learn how life was in our country since the Wars.  
  The stories have exposed the many styles we have come through in all our walks of life. How we coped without technology and embraced it as it developed. How families in difficult circumstances took risks and with friendship support worked their way through the situations and in particular with food shortages all sorts of sharing and bulk-buying schemes emerged with neighbours. Our mothers were such creative cooks, making family meals for us from whatever limits were available. And of course our ancestors were all such capable seamstresses, sewing, knitting, darning … was there anything our mothers couldn’t do? I particularly enjoyed some of the stories which shared how family breakdowns were supported by other family members, sometimes melding families, so all members could just easily move on with their lives.   
  Expressing and sharing these stories about how we managed then, as compared to how we live our lives now has created an important legacy of history for readers to recall or learn and enjoy. 
  Congratulations to every writer who is in Volume 11, many for your debut publication, others have been around once or twice in earlier volumes but you all deserve our gratitude, along with Seniors Card, for your worthy stories for our pleasure to read.

  In Oeconomicus, Xenophon presents a unique philosophical dialogue on economics, virtue, and leadership—set not in politics, but in the home.

  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A foundational dialogue on economic and ethical household management 
  •	Timeless insights on marriage, work ethic, discipline, and responsibility 
  •	A practical model for leadership grounded in self-mastery and partnership 
  •	A fresh, accessible translation that brings Xenophon’s lessons to life 
  Let Oeconomicus challenge how you think about leadership—starting at home.

  It is often said that the best writers write about something they know, something they understand.  And it’s excellent advice.  So when authors of the calibre of Stephen Crane, James Fenimore Cooper, Joseph Conrad, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and many others share that experience with us, a bond of trust and respect is easily attained.
