  How to Grieve - An Ancient Guide...

  Marcus Tullius Cicero

  An engaging new translation of a timeless masterpiece about coping with the death of a loved one 
   
   
   
  In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward. 
   
   
   
  Lost in antiquity, Cicero's Consolation was recreated in the Renaissance from hints in Cicero's other writings and the Greek and Latin consolatory tradition. The resulting masterpiece—translated here for the first time in 250 years—is infused throughout with Cicero's thought and spirit. 
   
   
   
  Complete with an inviting introduction, Michael Fontaine's engaging translation makes this searching exploration of grief available to readers once again.

  "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" by Carl Gustav Jung is a seminal work that delves into the complexities of the human psyche and the challenges faced by individuals in the modern world. Jung, one of the most influential figures in the field of psychology, explores various aspects of the human experience, including dreams, religion, art, and the unconscious mind.  In this insightful book, Jung argues that modern society has led to a fragmentation of the human psyche, resulting in feelings of disconnection and alienation. He examines the impact of cultural and societal forces on the individual, as well as the importance of introspection and self-discovery in achieving wholeness and fulfillment.  Drawing on his extensive knowledge of mythology, philosophy, and anthropology, Jung offers profound insights into the nature of the soul and its journey towards individuation. He explores the role of symbolism and archetypes in the unconscious, shedding light on the deeper layers of the human psyche.  Through a series of essays and lectures, Jung invites readers to embark on a journey of self-exploration and inner transformation. He challenges conventional wisdom and offers alternative perspectives on issues such as spirituality, creativity, and the quest for meaning.  "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" is a thought-provoking and enlightening exploration of the human condition, offering valuable insights for individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life and find deeper meaning and purpose in their existence.
