  The Golden Sayings of Epictetus

  Epictetus

  'Asked, "Who is the rich man?" Epictetus replied, "He who is content."'
  
  A stunning compilation of meditations, conversations and aphorisms from the renowned Stoic philosopher, Epictetus.
  
  Initially born into slavery, Epictetus knew first-hand the true meaning of suffering. He argued that it is impossible to control external events, and therefore we should work to accept what the future holds calmly and dispassionately. Some say his work is comparable to Socratic literature, particularly in his approach to self-examination and self-discipline: ultimately, he believed individuals were responsible for their own actions, which can be controlled though hard work and willpower. The Golden Sayings of Epictetus offer a selection of his most pertinent teachings which remain relevant to this very day. With countless lessons on life, love, faith, death and more – as profound as they are wise – this classic text can be returned to again and again. This audio edition is brought to life by the talented Malk Williams.
  Epictetus (50 – 135 AD) was a Greek philosopher and one of the main proponents of Stoicism. Born in Phrygia (now western Turkey), he moved to Rome once he regained his freedom, before being banished to Greece where he founded a school of philosophy. His teachings have influenced some of the greatest minds in history, including Marcus Aurelius, Pascal and Diderot amongst others.

  Caral-Supe Civilization - The...

  The Caral-Supe civilization, considered the first known civilization in the Americas, emerged around 5,000 years ago in the arid coastal region of present-day Peru. Often referred to as the "mother civilization" of the Andes, Caral-Supe predates other significant Andean cultures such as the Inca by millennia. Its capital city, Caral, located in the Supe Valley, is regarded as one of the oldest urban centers in the world. The discovery of this civilization has drastically reshaped our understanding of early American societies, highlighting the complexity and sophistication of pre-Columbian cultures in the Americas. 
  The story of Caral-Supe began with its discovery in the early 1990s, when archaeologist Ruth Shady and her team identified the ancient city of Caral, which had been largely overlooked until then. The site’s impressive architectural features and its well-planned urban layout revealed that the civilization had a deep understanding of engineering, agriculture, and social organization. Caral-Supe flourished for more than a thousand years, from roughly 3000 BCE to 1800 BCE, and was a major center of culture, trade, and religion in the region. 
  Geographically, the Caral-Supe civilization developed in the Supe Valley, a narrow strip of land located between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains. This region, although dry and arid, was strategically positioned to foster trade and communication with other cultures. The valley provided fertile land for agriculture, supported by sophisticated irrigation systems, which allowed the Caral-Supe civilization to thrive in such an inhospitable environment. This innovative agricultural system was a key factor in their ability to sustain large urban populations and build monumental structures.

  Specialized Therapies - Breaking...

  This book contains three kinds of therapy: 
  Psychosexual Therapy - Psychosexual therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to address psychological factors that impact a person's sexual health and intimacy. It explores the complex relationship between emotional well-being, physical health, and sexual experiences. Often, psychosexual therapy is sought by individuals or couples experiencing challenges in their sexual relationships, such as low libido, sexual dysfunction, or communication difficulties around intimacy. 
  Narrative Therapy - Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as the authors of their own stories. This perspective emphasizes that people are not defined by their problems, but rather by the way they relate to and interpret their experiences. The central premise of narrative therapy is that we can rewrite our stories, even the ones shaped by challenges, in ways that empower us to lead fulfilling lives. 
  Solution-Focused Brief Therapy - Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a collaborative, goal-directed approach to therapy that emphasizes finding solutions to clients' problems rather than focusing extensively on the problems themselves. This method arose in the 1980s, developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues at the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee. The therapy stands apart from traditional problem-focused therapies by its strength-based philosophy, its reliance on the client’s own resources, and its focus on the future rather than the past. It offers a clear, practical approach that fosters rapid change and is often used in a brief therapy setting, making it highly efficient for clients seeking to improve their situations in a short amount of time.
