  Terminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of life, many people—including those who have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia—experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives and often appear to be aware of their nearing death.In this remarkable audiobook, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute Dr. Alexander Batthyány offers the first major account of terminal lucidity, utilizing hundreds of case studies and his research in the related field of near-death studies to explore the mind, the body, the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are crossing the border from life to death.Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into one of life's—and death's—most provocative mysteries.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

  In this lecture Robert Anton Wilson speaks of how we think we all know who we are. You are living in your own reality that you are creating. Everybody has a vision of themselves that they have created. Where in relationships the other person has an entirely different vision of you are as a person. Strangers see you completely different from how you view yourself. Which is the real you? Certainly not the you that you know. Our knowledge of ourselves is usually tremendously delusional and most people don't actually know the real them.

  How to Do the Right Thing - An...

  How ancient Stoicism can help teach us to treat others—and ourselves—more fairly and mercifully 
   
   
   
  There are times when we've all felt that we haven't been treated as we deserve—that we've been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we've treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help listeners better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life—how to do right by others. 
   
   
   
  Starting from the virtue of magnanimity—the opposite of small-mindedness—How to Do the Right Thing draws together lessons from Seneca's writings that stress the importance of calm and clear thinking, of judging oneself fairly before judging others, and of cutting people slack, with a bias toward mercy—all delivered in crisp and lively new translations.
