  Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that teaches how to live a good life, one filled with virtue, wisdom, and tranquility. Founded by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BCE, Stoicism is built on the idea that the key to happiness and fulfillment lies not in external circumstances, but in how we choose to respond to them. The philosophy emphasizes the development of self-control, rational thought, and resilience in the face of adversity. While it originated in ancient Greece, Stoicism has influenced many philosophers and continues to resonate with modern thinkers, offering practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. 
  At the core of Stoicism is the belief in distinguishing between what we can control and what we cannot. According to Stoic principles, we cannot control external events, but we can control our responses to them. This idea, known as the Dichotomy of Control, encourages individuals to focus on their actions, thoughts, and emotions rather than worrying about things beyond their influence. This shift in perspective can lead to greater peace of mind and less suffering, as it frees us from the emotional turmoil of trying to change the uncontrollable. 
  Stoicism is often associated with a few key figures, including Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. Each of these philosophers contributed their own insights into the practice of Stoicism, emphasizing different aspects of the philosophy. Epictetus, for example, taught that true freedom comes from mastering our internal world, while Seneca focused on the importance of reflection and mindfulness in everyday life. Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor, applied Stoic principles to leadership and the challenges of ruling an empire, demonstrating how Stoicism can be practiced by anyone, no matter their role in society.

  Award-winning author Francine Klagsbrun reveals the complex life and work of Henrietta Szold, founder of Hadassah and a Zionist trailblazer 
   
   
    
  Henrietta Szold (1860–1945) is renowned as the founder of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, which quickly became one of the most successful of all Zionist groups. In her work with Hadassah, Szold used a combined ethical and pragmatic approach aimed at improving the lives of both Jews and Arabs. She later moved to Mandate Palestine to help shape education, health, and social services there. The pinnacle of her career came in her seventies, when she took on the task of directing the Youth Aliyah program, which rescued thousands of young people from the Nazis and resettled them in Palestine. 
   
   
    
  Using Szold's copious letters, diaries, and essays, along with other archival documents, Francine Klagsbrun traces Szold's life and legacy with an eye to uncovering the person behind the Zionist icon. She reveals Szold as a complex human being who had to cope with controversy and criticism, a workaholic with an outsized sense of duty, and an idealist who fought for her beliefs even as she questioned her own abilities. With deep insight, Klagsbrun introduces listeners to this extraordinary woman, whose impact on women's lives as well as on education and health systems still resonates.

  I go with the wind, people of Orphalese, but not down into emptiness; And if this day is not a fulfilment of your needs and my love, then let it be a promise till another day.” 
    
  The beloved prophet Almustafa (meaning “The Chosen One”) has lived within the city walls of Orphalese for twelve years. He has walked among the people and formed a deep connection to the place, but he knows this is not where he ultimately belongs. On the seventh day of Ielool (“the month of reaping”), Almustafa climbs a hill beyond the boundaries of the city wall and gazes out across the misty sea. He is filled with joy as he catches sight of the ship that has come to free him from exile. As he bids farewell to the people of Orphalese, Almustafa speaks with them on the topics closest to their hearts. His series of sermons form the 28 prose poems of this book. 
    
  The Prophet is a work of fiction, written by Lebanese-American artist, poet, and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. Gibran was a key figure in Arabic literary modernist movement, which spanned the first half of the twentieth century. As a product of his culturally-rich upbringing, Gibran’s work beautifully blends religious traditions and philosophies from around the world.
