Sinossi

Long before the rise of major world religions, a visionary prophet emerged from the heart of ancient Persia. Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, introduced a spiritual philosophy that would shape the beliefs of empires and influence faiths for millennia. His teachings on light and darkness, good and evil, and the eternal struggle between order and chaos laid the foundation for one of the world’s oldest monotheistic traditions—Zoroastrianism.
 
 
 
The Mystique of Zoroaster delves into the life, wisdom, and lasting legacy of this enigmatic figure. Who was Zoroaster, and what inspired his revolutionary vision? How did his ideas spread across ancient Persia and beyond? Through historical records, sacred texts, and modern interpretations, this book uncovers the profound impact of his philosophy on religion, ethics, and the human search for meaning.
 
 
 
Discover the mysteries of a prophet whose influence still echoes through history, from the courts of Persian kings to the philosophies of today.

    Find balance and peace in every moment 
     
     
     
    Life is ephemeral and ever-changing; in Japan, it's called ukiyo—"floating world." How can we adapt to its fluctuations without being overcome? The answer is nagomi: a philosophy of balance—and the secret to a harmonious life. Neuroscientist Ken Mogi shares wisdom from Japanese history and culture to explain how nagomi can help you: 
     
     
     
    ● have happy relationships with loved ones who disagree 
     
     
     
    ● engage with the natural world without diminishing its beauty 
     
     
     
    ● strive for improvement while accepting imperfection 
     
     
     
    ● strike a balance to achieve calm. 
     
     
     
    If you've ever enjoyed a perfect bite of sushi—fresh fish, white rice, a hint of wasabi, maybe with a sip of sake—then you've already tasted what nagomi can achieve. Combining philosophy and advice, this book brings that balance into your health, work, relationships, and sense of self with nagomido—The Way of Nagomi!

    In the tradition of Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal, this compassionate work helps individuals develop a more accepting view of dying while teaching them what to expect and how to navigate the healthcare system at the end of life. 
      
    In elderhood, the health care system has a narrow view of how to provide care. It focuses on extending a patient's life at all costs, with an over-reliance on machines and procedures, instead of caring holistically for the person. Accordingly, many of us will likely spend our final weeks in long-term care facilities or an ICU. 
      
    Dying at home, peacefully, and surrounded by family is almost impossible in our world—and our fear of death is a major contributor to this impossibility. Fittingly, the central idea of this book is that in old age, or when facing a terminal diagnosis, it is more important to understand your life rather than to extend it. While this may seem simple, its implications are profound. 
      
    A natural death means accepting that, at some point, we are old enough or sick enough to die. In our cynical and overly clinical age, it is difficult to reflect on the meaning of one's life, but that kind of honest introspection is exactly what we need. Accordingly, The Journey’s End seeks to help people manage their healthcare, their expectations, and their decisions in the final phase of life.

    We think we know cultural appropriation when we see it. Blackface or Native American headdresses as Halloween costumes—these clearly give offense. But what about Cardi B posing as the Hindu goddess Durga in a Reebok ad, AA's twelve-step invocation of God, or the earnest namaste you utter at the end of yoga class? 
     
     
     
    Liz Bucar unpacks the ethical dilemmas of a messy form of cultural appropriation: the borrowing of religious doctrines, rituals, and dress for political, economic, and therapeutic reasons. Does borrowing from another's religion harm believers? Bucar sees religion as an especially vexing arena for appropriation debates because faiths overlap and imitate each other and because diversity within religious groups scrambles our sense of who is an insider and who is not. 
     
     
     
    Stealing My Religion guides us through three revealing case studies—the hijab as a feminist signal of Muslim allyship, a study abroad "pilgrimage" on the Camino de Santiago, and the commodification of yoga in the West. Reflecting on her own missteps, Bucar comes to a surprising conclusion: the way to avoid religious appropriation isn't to borrow less but to borrow more—to become deeply invested in learning the roots and diverse meanings of our enthusiasms.
