  • Humbleness - The Quiet Strength: Embracing a Modest and Unpretentious Attitude - cover

    Humbleness - The Quiet Strength:...

    Humbleness is often misunderstood as weakness or submissiveness, yet it is one of the greatest strengths a person can possess. True humbleness is not about diminishing oneself or pretending to be less than what one is. Instead, it is about recognizing one’s worth without the need for validation or superiority over others. It allows a person to remain grounded, open to learning, and free from the constant pressure to prove themselves. 
    Unlike false modesty, which seeks attention through downplaying achievements, genuine humbleness comes from self-awareness. A humble person does not feel the need to boast or seek recognition. They understand that their value does not depend on external praise. This mindset fosters quiet confidence, enabling individuals to navigate life with grace, even in challenging situations. 
    Humbleness is a trait admired across cultures and philosophies. Many religious and philosophical teachings emphasize its importance, highlighting how humility leads to wisdom and deeper connections with others. It allows people to embrace mistakes, learn from experiences, and grow without being hindered by pride. When one acknowledges their limitations, they become more receptive to new ideas and perspectives. This ability to listen and learn creates a path toward continuous self-improvement.

    James Riley, author of the cult hit The Bad Trip: Dark Omens, New Worlds and the End of the Sixties, returns with another incisive and thought-provoking cultural history, turning his trenchant eye to the wellness industry that emerged in the 1970s.
    
    Concepts such as wellness and self-care may feel like distinctly twenty-first century ideas, but they first gained traction as part of the New Age health movements that began to flourish in the wake of the 1960s. Riley dives into this strange and hypnotic world of panoramic coastal retreats and darkened floatation tanks, blending a page-turning narrative with illuminating explorations of the era's music, film, art and literature.
    Well Beings delves deep into the mind of the seventies - its popular culture, its radical philosophies, its approach to health and its sense of social crisis. It tells the story of what was sought, what was found and how these explorations helped the 'Me Decade' find itself. In so doing, it questions what good health means today and reveals what the seventies can teach us about the strange art of being well.

    A Preface to Paradise Lost

    C. S. Lewis’s illuminating reflections on Milton’s Paradise Lost, the seminal classic that profoundly influenced Christian thought as well as Lewis’s own. 
    In Preface to Paradise Lost, the Christian apologist and revered scholar and professor of literature closely examines the style, content, structure, and themes of Milton’s masterpiece, a retelling of the biblical story of the Fall of Humankind, Satan’s temptation, and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Considering the story within the context of the Western literary tradition, Lewis offers invaluable insights into Paradise Lost and the nature of literature itself, unveiling the poem’s beauty and its wisdom. 
    Lewis explains and defends the literary form known as “Epic,” pondering simple yet perceptive questions such as: What is an Epic? Why, in the seventeenth century, did Milton choose to write his story in this style? In what sense is Paradise Lost similar to the Homeric poems or the Anglo Saxon Beowulf? In what sense did Milton develop Virgil’s legacy?  
    With the clarity of thought and style that are the hallmarks of his writing, Lewis provides answers with a lucidity and lightness that deepens our understanding of this literary form and both illuminates Milton’s immortal epic and its meaning and inspires readers to revisit it. Ultimately, he reminds us why elements including ritual, splendor, and joy deserve to exist and hold a sacred place in human life.  
    One of Lewis’s most revered scholarly works, Preface to Paradise Lost is indispensable for literature, philosophy, and religion scholars and for ardent fans of Lewis’s writings.

    In the early 1970s, Sir Maurice Oldfield of the British Secret Service, MI6, embarked upon a decade-long campaign to derail the political career of Charles Haughey. The English spymaster believed Haughey was a Provisional IRA godfather, therefore, a threat to Britain. Oldfield was assisted by unscrupulous British agents and by a shadowy group of conspirators inside the Irish state's security apparatus, all sharing his distrust of Haughey. Escaping scrutiny for their actions until now, Enemy of the Crown examines more than a dozen instances of their activities.
    Oldfield was conspiratorial by nature and lacked a moral compass. Involved in regime change plots and torture in the Middle East, in the Republic of Ireland he engaged with convicted criminals as agent provocateurs as well as the exploitation of pedophile rings in Northern Ireland. He and his spies engaged in dirty tricks as they ran vicious smear campaigns in Ireland, Britain and the US. MI6 and IRD intrigues were deployed to impede Haughey's bid to secure a position on Fianna Fáil's front bench and any return to respectability.
    London's hateful drive against Haughey saw no let-up after Fianna Fáil's triumphal return to power in 1977 which saw them win a large majority of seats in the Dáil. When Haughey sought a place at Cabinet, Oldfield and his spies devised more dirty tricks to impede him. While Haughey was suspicious of MI6 interference, he had no inkling of the full extent of London's clandestine efforts to destroy him. By circulating lurid stories about him, they played a major part in trying to prevent him succeed Jack Lynch as Taoiseach in 1979. This book attempts to shed light on some of the anti-Haughey conspiracies which took place during the period of the late 1960s right through to the early 1980s.

    Frequently, when assigning labels to individuals or things, boundaries are inadvertently set, turning the label itself into a confining restriction. It's crucial for adults to choose their words carefully, as children absorb them swiftly. We each faced this issue when he was taunted by bullies who dubbed him "the kid with the broken brain. 
    I came to the realization that he had been approaching his challenges with the wrong set of questions. Instead of contemplating what to learn, he needed to find effective and enjoyable methods for learning. 
    In the realm of wisdom, gaining knowledge is akin to possessing extraordinary abilities. Our potential to learn is boundless; all that's required is proper guidance on accessing it. A specific mindset, motivation, and methodology can assist you in enhancing your cognitive abilities, enabling you to grasp any subject more swiftly and unlock a more exceptional life. 
    If you're not reaching your full potential in learning or living, and there's a disparity between your current and desired reality, it indicates a limitation that needs to be identified and replaced in your mindset (the what), your motivation (the why), or your approach (the how). 
    The four learning challenges often referred to as "supervillains" include digital deluge, digital distraction, digital dementia, and digital deduction. While these conditions are not directly caused by technology, it serves as an amplifier, magnifying their impact despite its numerous advantages.
