    What if the best ruler was the one you’d never notice? 
    In Statesman, Plato moves past the question of what law is—and asks who is truly fit to rule.

    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	The philosophical foundation of true political authority and leadership

    If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
     
     
      
    Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

    Gilgamesh - The Mesopotamian...

    Perhaps you have heard about Gilgamesh, or perhaps you know what he was but would like to know more about him. 
    Gilgamesh was an age-old Mesopotamian hero and the lead character of the Impressive of Gilgamesh, a legendary poem written in Akkadian throughout the late 2nd millennium BC. He could have been a posthumously deified historic emperor of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk. Despite the fact that he ended up being a crucial figure in Sumerian legend throughout the Third Dynasty of Ur (from 2112 to 2004 BC), his rule was more than likely throughout the start of the Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) (henceforth ED), from 2900 to 2350 BC. 
    Gilgamesh's famous deeds are stated in 5 Sumerian poems that have endured. The earliest of these is most likely "Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld," in which Gilgamesh saves the goddess Inanna from the satanic forces that have plagued her huluppu tree. 
    These stories were later weaved into a meaningful story in Babylonian times.

    "Life The Goal" by Jiddu Krishnamurti is a profound exploration of the human condition and the quest for meaning and fulfillment. In this book, Krishnamurti delves into the fundamental questions that have perplexed humanity for centuries: What is the purpose of life? What is the nature of truth? How can one find lasting happiness and freedom? 
    Krishnamurti argues that man is like a cloud, hurried along by the winds of life without a fixed purpose or understanding of life's meaning. He emphasizes the importance of embracing all experiences, both pleasant and painful, as essential for a full and meaningful life. Through introspection and self-discovery, Krishnamurti proposes that the ultimate goal of life is the liberation of the self from all desires, experiences, sorrows, and struggles. 
    Central to Krishnamurti's teachings is the concept of Truth as the eternal goal, transcending the limitations imposed by beliefs, religions, and ideologies. He challenges the reader to cultivate a deep understanding of life, free from external authority and dogma, and to embrace doubt as a crucial tool for uncovering essential truths. 
    "Life The Goal" offers a thought-provoking and transformative journey toward self-awareness, freedom, and genuine fulfillment. It invites readers to reevaluate their beliefs, question societal norms, and embark on a path of inner exploration and enlightenment.
