Beschreibung

In "Labour: The Divine Command," Leo Tolstoy presents an incisive exploration of labor's moral and spiritual dimensions. At the intersection of philosophy and social criticism, this short yet profound essay grapples with the nature of work and its existential significance. Tolstoy employs a direct and straightforward prose style, echoing the influences of his contemporary social reform movements while steeped in biblical themes. The text challenges the reader to reconsider the intrinsic value of labor beyond material gain, emphasizing its role as a divine command that fosters personal fulfillment and communal well-being. Leo Tolstoy, a titan of Russian literature, was not only a novelist but also a fervent social activist deeply affected by the socio-economic dilemmas of his era. His personal experiences with agrarian life and his socio-economic contemplations, particularly after his conversion to a more austere Christian ethic, led him to reflect critically on the ethics of labor. Tolstoy's belief in the transformative power of work is vividly articulated in this essay, showcasing his profound commitment to promoting social justice and the dignity of the peasant class. This essential read invites scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the philosophical implications of work to engage with Tolstoy's compelling insights. "Labour: The Divine Command" stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of labor in human life, encouraging readers to find meaning in their own work and its capacity for divine connection.

    LEADERSHIP AND TEAMWORK ARE NOT NATURAL, unlike hierarchies and the dominance behaviors that are common within them. True leaders are those who've experienced the critical transformations needed to develop a naturally high capacity for influencing the members of a team in a way that inspires collaboration. If they haven't, their efforts to influence are awkward, careless, and damaging. The good news, however, is that this transformation is always within reach, no matter how much or how little leadership experience you have. But it begins by confronting centuries-old attitudes about what it means to be....a superior. THE NEW SUPERIOR is a bold but heartfelt tutorial on the fundamentals of contemporary high-stakes leadership, drawn from the unique experiences and insights of one of America's most respected forensic laboratory executives who reminds us that urgency is what energizes teams in the face of existential threats. Unfortunately, momentum is often sacrificed by toxic influencers whose need to dominate suppresses collaboration, even in matters of life and death. From the bombing of the 1996 Olympics to the brutal slaying of a young fashion model near Chicago, John M. Collins takes you inside of pressure-packed situations where two opposing styles of leadership confront each other in a primitive and dangerous struggle. In this struggle you will learn that both styles live within you, but only one will allow you to become the leader that people trust when everything is on the line.

    There is a sinister and secretive group of people that run the globe. They control everything from the banks to the media. They own the world. They own 99% of the world's wealth and yet are less than 1% of the population. They have special family bloodlines to pass on power from generation to generation. 
     
    They have sacred rites and secret rituals. They have a belief system that stretches back in time for thousands of years to their very origin. They spawned the religions, royal families, global business, financial systems and arms companies. They created revolutions and wars on an epic scale. They watch everything we do and manipulate our thoughts and actions. You are in their service and you do not even realise it. They have been doing all of this and more, for thousands of years and they have one goal in sight. 
     
    This is the darkest, untold tale of control in the history of mankind. This is the story of what they believe, what they do, how they do it and why. They have many names. But they have one origin and one purpose. And now we have tracked down their symbols, secrets, names, origin and purpose. 
     
    Using previously unknown and secret sources we will reveal them. This is the Illuminati.
