  'Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.'
  
  A collection of profound meditations on morality, life and death, from one of the primary proponents of ancient Stoic philosophy: Seneca.
  
  Despite having been written at the turn of the earliest millennium, Seneca's 'On' essays remain extraordinary in their offer of insightful wisdom and practical advice on how to live a life worth living. Including writings on anger, providence, peace of mind, the shortness of life, grief and more, Seneca's words are unparalleled in their perceptiveness – so much so that they remain relevant even today. This audiobook edition is beautifully narrated by Malk Williams.
  Seneca (4 – 65 AD) was a Stoic philosopher, dramatist and statesman. Trained in rhetoric and philosophy, he became advisor to Roman emperor, Nero, until he was accused of plotting to assassinate him. He was executed via forced suicide, but his literary works – largely considered staple texts for ancient Stoicism – still live on today.

  Existential Therapy - Finding...

  Vivian Westlake

  Existential therapy is a deeply philosophical approach to psychotherapy, grounded in the belief that life’s greatest challenge is navigating its inherent uncertainties while striving to create meaning. At its core, this approach invites individuals to confront the universal dilemmas of existence: freedom, responsibility, isolation, mortality, and the search for purpose. These existential concerns, though often unsettling, are also the catalysts for personal growth and transformation. 
  In a world increasingly defined by chaos, existential therapy offers a path to clarity. It does not seek to provide simple answers or quick solutions but instead fosters a deeper understanding of the self. The process requires embracing the discomfort of life’s unanswered questions and exploring the choices that define who we are. This journey of self-discovery helps clients uncover their authentic values and live in alignment with them, even in the face of life’s inevitable challenges. 
  The roots of existential therapy lie in the existentialist philosophy of thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche, who emphasized individuality and the importance of living authentically. Later, philosophers like Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre explored the intricacies of existence, freedom, and the weight of human choice. These ideas profoundly influenced psychologists like Viktor Frankl, Rollo May, and Irvin Yalom, who brought existential philosophy into the realm of therapeutic practice.

  Ottoman Edges

  This book offers a vivid, ground-level narrative of how the Ottoman Empire navigated two turbulent centuries of war, diplomacy, and reinvention. From the Treaty of Zsitvatorok to the French invasion of Egypt, this book follows shifting frontiers in the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Arab provinces; the rise of provincial notables; the transformation of the Janissaries; the monetized pressures of silver and global trade; the aesthetics and politics of the Tulip Period; and the Empire’s steadily sharpening view of Europe. It explores how Russia and Austria surged, how forts and bridges became social institutions, how markets whispered the first warnings of defeat and recovery, and how knowledge—maps, manuals, and newspapers—turned into instruments of power. Bringing cities, soldiers, scholars, and merchants to life, the book reframes “decline” as an intense school of adaptation that culminated in the shock of 1798 Egypt—an ending that seeded the next Ottoman century of reforms.
