Sinopsis

Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" is a profound exploration of Stoic philosophy, presented in the form of personal reflections and philosophical musings. Composed during his military campaigns in the 2nd century AD, this seminal work combines a deeply introspective style with vivid observations of the human condition. Aurelius grapples with themes such as duty, virtue, the transient nature of life, and the importance of reason, making his thoughts both timeless and universally relatable. The text is characterized by its direct, unembellished prose, echoing the Stoic principles of clarity and simplicity, and reflects a rich philosophical context that intertwines personal and communal ethics, emphasizing the value of resilience in the face of adversity. Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and a philosopher, is often revered as the embodiment of Stoic ideals. His life was marked by challenges, including wars and personal losses, which catalyzed his writings in "Meditations." His unique perspective as a ruler navigating the complexities of power and morality lends a remarkable authenticity to his thoughts. Aurelius' philosophy is not merely theoretical; it is rooted in the realities of his existence and offers insights into maintaining equanimity amid chaos. This book is a timeless guide for anyone seeking wisdom and guidance in navigating the complexities of life. Readers will find inspiration in Aurelius' reflections, encouraging them to pursue virtue and mindfulness in their personal journeys. "Meditations" is not just a philosophical treatise but a companion for those striving to cultivate resilience and inner peace in a turbulent world.

    "Ion" is a dialogue by Plato that explores the nature of artistic inspiration and the role of the artist in society. The main character, Ion, is a rhapsode who specializes in reciting epic poetry by Homer. Socrates engages Ion in a conversation, and the discussion unfolds as Socrates questions Ion about the source of his ability to recite poetry. Socrates argues that Ion's talent is not the result of his own knowledge or expertise, but rather a divine inspiration. He compares Ion to a magnetic ring that is capable of attracting and transmitting the power of the gods through his recitation. Socrates also points out that Ion's expertise is limited only to the works of Homer, and he has no real knowledge of the subjects he is reciting about. Read in English, unabridged.

    Why do women stay with men who cheat on them? 
    Why do so many fall for married men, agree to be the mistress, or even enjoy sex more outside of marriage than within it? 
    Why Women Prefer a Cheater isn't a polite conversation. It's a deep, unapologetic, and disturbingly honest exploration of female desire—rooted in biology, shaped by history, warped by psychology, and censored by culture. 
    This book does not offer empty empowerment slogans or fairy-tale relationship advice. Instead, it tackles the raw and uncomfortable truths:That women are biologically drawn to dominant, often unfaithful men.That affairs can offer psychological escape from the suffocation of modern monogamy.That cultural shame trains women to silently blame themselves for male betrayal.That "loyalty" often rewards women with nothing but resentment and self-erasure. 
    Through chapters like The Dual Mating Strategy, The Psychology of the Mistress, Sex, Marriage, and the Decline of Desire, and The Hidden Cost and Secret Freedom, A.A. Castor exposes the brutal realities behind cheating, desire, and the unspoken decisions women make to survive love, betrayal, and expectation. 
    Blending science, dark humor, and harsh truths, this book isn't for the faint of heart. It's for every woman who's ever been the wife, the other woman, or the one who stopped believing in fairy tales. 
    Forget what society taught you about love. 
    Forget what you were told about loyalty. 
    This book isn't here to comfort—it's here to wake you up.

    The lively essays collected here explore colonial history, culture, and thought as it intersects with Jewish studies. Connecting the Jewish experience with colonialism to mobility and exchange, diaspora, internationalism, racial discrimination, and Zionism, the volume presents the work of Jewish historians who recognize the challenge that colonialism brings to their work and sheds light on the diverse topics that reflect the myriad ways that Jews engaged with empire in modern times. Taken together, these essays reveal the interpretive power of the "Imperial Turn" and present a rethinking of the history of Jews in colonial societies in light of postcolonial critiques and destabilized categories of analysis. A provocative discussion forum about Zionism as colonialism is also included.

    In Normal Broken, Kelly Cervantes isn't trying to tell you what to do, how to feel, or the right way to heal. She's also not flinging sunny thoughts, vibes, and prayers at you. After losing her daughter to epilepsy, she knows that grief is many things. Something everyone will have to deal with. But never linear. Just as what we are grieving varies, so do our journeys to process it. 
     
     
     
    Normal Broken was born out of this desire to meet people where they are in their grief journeys, to lend a hand, or maybe to just sit in the dark with them. 
     
     
     
    Normal Broken is divided into "moments" of grief that will allow you to choose what you need at any given time—such as: 
     
     
     
    ● When you're not sure if you want to heal 
     
     
     
    ● When you're facing anniversaries and other meaningful dates 
     
     
     
    ● When you're ready to be okay 
     
     
     
    Kelly also shares stories from her ongoing journey, along with advice she wishes someone had given her. Normal Broken is designed to serve as a companion through your own grief journey, whether you are mourning the loss of a child, a friend, a family member, or anyone special in your life.

    In "Life is real only then, when I am" Gurdjieff gives answers to the fundamental human questions: how do I really live and what are the requirements to lead a real life? What is reality? What is existence? Has every man a given I or what must he do to acquire a real I? First of all, we have to accept that we are not awake, but asleep. The vast majority of mankind never awakens through its whole life. Only those are given the chance to become awake, who fight for it with their whole hearts and beings.
