How to Flourish - An Ancient...

Aristotle, Susan Sauve Meyer

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is one of the greatest guides to human flourishing ever written, but its length and style have left many readers languishing. How to Flourish is a colloquial new translation by Susan Sauvé Meyer that makes Aristotle's timeless insights about how to lead a good life more engaging and accessible than ever before. 
 
 
 
For Aristotle, flourishing involves becoming a good person through practice, and having a life of the mind. To that end, he draws vivid portraits of virtuous and vicious characters and offers sound practical advice about everything from eating and drinking to managing money, controlling anger, getting along with others, and telling jokes. He also distinguishes different kinds of wisdom that are essential to flourishing and offers an unusual perspective on how to appreciate our place in the universe and our relation to the divine. 
 
 
 
Omitting Aristotle's digressions and repetitions and overly technical passages, How to Flourish provides connecting commentary that allows listeners to follow the continuous line of his thought. The result is an inviting and lively version of an essential work about how to flourish and lead a good life.

Sacrifice - The Selfless Giving

Esther Jameson

Sacrifice is often seen as the ultimate act of selflessness, a decision to give up something valuable for the benefit of others. It manifests in various forms, from small daily compromises to life-altering choices that define one's character. True sacrifice is not merely about loss but about a deeper understanding of purpose, love, and responsibility. It is an act driven by compassion, commitment, and a willingness to put others before oneself, even when it comes at a great personal cost.
Throughout history, sacrifice has played a crucial role in shaping societies and individuals. From warriors who lay down their lives for their nations to parents who dedicate their existence to their children's well-being, the essence of sacrifice is woven into the fabric of humanity. Ancient traditions and religions uphold sacrifice as a virtue, often associating it with divine favor, enlightenment, or moral duty. Whether in the form of offerings to gods, acts of service, or personal hardships endured for the greater good, sacrifice has always been regarded as an honorable and noble act.
Yet, the concept of sacrifice is often misunderstood. Many equate it with mere obligation or duty, but true sacrifice goes beyond forced compliance. It is a conscious choice made out of love, not compulsion. A soldier who volunteers for a dangerous mission, a teacher who dedicates their life to underprivileged children, or a person who donates a life-saving organ to a stranger—these are acts of sacrifice born not out of obligation but from a genuine desire to make a difference. Unlike reluctant compromises, true sacrifice carries an emotional depth that transforms both the giver and the recipient.
