  Winner of the Kekoo Naoroji Award
  Doug Scott was a legend among mountaineers. His expeditions, undertaken over a period of five decades, are unparalleled achievements. This book describes the extraordinary drama of them all, from the Himalaya to New Zealand, Patagonia, Yosemite and Alaska. It includes his famous 'epic' on The Ogre, one of the hardest peaks in the world to climb, his ascent of Kangchenjunga without supplementary oxygen and his ascent, with Dougal Haston, of Everest in 1975.
  Catherine Moorehead also uncovers the elusive man behind the obsessive mountaineer. From his rumbustious youth in Nottingham through two tempestuous marriages to a secure third marriage, she shows how Scott matured in thought and action as his formidable global reputation increased. In doing so she reveals him to be a clash of opposites, an infuriating monomaniac who took extraordinary risks yet who developed a deep interest in Buddhism and inspired widespread affection.
  Scott spent almost as long as his climbing career in founding and developing Community Action Nepal, providing schools and health posts in remote parts of Nepal, where he is still much revered. Doug Scott died in 2020.

  What if deception had a logic of its own? 
  In Sophist, Plato dares to tackle the concept of falsehood—not as error, but as something that seems to exist within language and thought. Through a dense but gripping dialogue between the Eleatic Stranger and Theaetetus, the discussion exposes the tricks of sophistry, the instability of language, and the paradox of how “what is not” can still be spoken of and understood. 
  This modernized audiobook delivers one of Plato’s most intellectually daring texts with clarity and precision. Perfect for thinkers, scholars, and seekers of truth. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A bold philosophical exploration of non-being, falsehood, and the metaphysics of language 
  •	A deep critique of sophistry, appearance, and rhetorical manipulation 
  •	Plato’s method of division—used to isolate philosophical concepts with surgical accuracy 
  •	A readable, listener-friendly adaptation of one of Plato’s most abstract and influential works 
  If you want to unravel the logic behind illusion and sharpen your understanding of truth, Sophist is essential listening.

  Chúng ta đến với cuộc đời này như những vị khách tạm trú trong một "Airbnb vũ trụ" — sống, yêu, đau khổ, tìm kiếm ý nghĩa rồi lại ra đi. Nhưng nếu cái "tôi" mà ta luôn bám víu không thật sự cố định, thì điều gì mới là bản chất thật của sự sống? 
  Vô Ngã, Trọn Vẹn là một hành trình khám phá sâu sắc về vô ngã, ý thức, bản ngã, khổ đau, tình yêu, cái chết và sự tỉnh thức. Cuốn sách không chỉ tiếp cận từ góc nhìn Phật học mà còn mở rộng sang triết học, tâm lý học và trải nghiệm đời sống hiện đại, giúp người đọc nhìn lại chính mình bằng một ánh sáng mới. 
  Từ những mối quan hệ thường ngày, áp lực thành công, nỗi sợ mất mát cho đến câu hỏi lớn nhất: "Tôi là ai?" — cuốn sách mời bạn bước ra khỏi chiếc lồng vô hình của bản ngã để sống nhẹ hơn, sâu hơn và tự do hơn. 
  Đây không phải là một cuốn sách dạy bạn trở thành ai khác. 
  Đây là lời mời để bạn buông bỏ những gì chưa từng thật sự là mình. 
  Khi không còn cố chấp vào cái tôi, ta không mất đi chính mình — ta finally bắt đầu sống trọn vẹn.
