  Featuring long-awaited selections from Robert M. Pirsig's unpublished writings, from before and after Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, an original collection illuminating the central theme of Pirsig's thought: “Quality” 
  “The ultimate goal in the pursuit of excellence is enlightenment."" —Robert M. Pirsig, 1962 
  More than a decade before the release of the book that would make him famous, Robert M. Pirsig had already caught hold of the central theme that would animate Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: “Quality,” a concept loosely likened to “excellence,” “rightness,” or “fitness” that Pirsig saw as kindred to the Buddhist ideas of “dharma” or the “Tao.” As he later wrote in Zen, “Quality is the Buddha.” 
  Though he was revered by fans who considered him a guru, the famously private Pirsig published only two books and consented to few interviews and almost no public appearances in later decades. Yet he wrote and thought almost continually, refining his “Metaphysics of Quality” until his death in 2017. 
  Now, for the first time, readers will be granted access to five decades of Pirsig’s personal writings in this posthumous collection that illuminates the evolution of his thinking to an unprecedented degree. Skillfully edited and introduced by Wendy K. Pirsig, Robert’s wife of four decades, the collection includes previously unpublished texts, speeches, letters, interviews, and private notes, as well as key excerpts from Zen and the Art of the Motorcycle Maintenance and his second book, Lila. 
  Since its publication in 1974, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has established itself as a modern classic of popular philosophy; selling millions of copies and inspiring a generation, while serving as a perennial touchstone for the generations that follow. On Quality is a remarkable contribution to our understanding of one of the most influential thinkers and writers of our time.

  In 2006 the American Embassy in Lithuania received the following cable from the then Lithuanian prime minister, Albinas Januska. He stated that "a group of UFOs are making their influence from the Cosmos" and that "there exists a decreasing group of persons, who are trying to rationally analyse the situation and objectively evaluate what is happening." 
   
  In 2007 the Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary, Nobutaka Machimura said "I am sure that unidentified flying objects exist." 
   
  A former NASA astronaut, Dr. Brian O'Leary stated that "there is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.”

  In "The Art of Show Working," readers are taken on an entertaining journey through the world of office politics, exploring the subtle tactics and strategies of mastering the art of appearing indispensable while doing as little as possible. The book is divided into ten parts, each focusing on a different aspect of "show working."    The book begins with the foundations of show working, introducing the concept and providing a humorous introduction to its principles. It then dives into various strategies for mastering workplace camouflage, dealing with bosses and coworkers, enhancing one's work image, and navigating presentations and public speaking.    "The Art of Show Working" also offers insights into the art of delegation and avoiding responsibility, creating a show worker persona, and advanced techniques for those seeking to level up their show working skills. An additional section, "The Show Worker's Playbook," presents a collection of cunning tactics, such as the Lazy Genius' Guide to Delegation Mastery and the Crafty Connoisseur's Approach to Skillful Task-Dodging.    The book concludes with a thought-provoking reflection on the ongoing process of showing one's work and the potential consequences of becoming too good at the art of show working. Filled with sarcasm, cynicism, and humor, "The Art of Show Working" offers a unique perspective on navigating the modern workplace, showing readers how to strike the perfect balance between appearing indispensable and avoiding doing any real work.

  This is a collection of five alchemical tracts written by one of the most famous alchemists who was said to have discovered the Philosopher's Stone. In these writings Paracelsus attempts to educate the reader about the nature of the Philosopher's Stone and the scientific principles from which we can be assured of its existence and understand how it works. Like all alchemical tracts, the language is very cryptic and allegorical so as to be unintelligible to the unworthy.
