    Hippias of Elis travels throughout the Greek world practicing and teaching the art of making beautiful speeches. On a rare visit to Athens, he meets Socrates who questions him about the nature of his art. Socrates is especially curious about how Hippias would define beauty. They agree that “beauty makes all beautiful things beautiful,” but when Socrates presses him to say precisely what he means, Hippias is unable to deliver such a definition.
 
The more Socrates probes, the more absurd the responses from Hippias become. This is one of Plato’s best comedies and one of his finest efforts at posing the philosophical problem of the difference between particular things and universal qualities.

What if the people meant to nurture your soul were the very ones who kept wounding it? 
In Rising Over the Waves: Surviving Among Emotionally Immature Parents, discover the raw, unfiltered truth of what it's like to grow up in a household where emotional chaos, unpredictability, and unmet needs are masked by denial, silence, or well-meaning ignorance. This is not just a book — it’s a lifeline for those who have long felt invisible, unheard, or emotionally orphaned. 
With deep compassion and piercing insight, this transformative guide unpacks the hidden legacy of emotionally immature parenting — the subtle manipulations, the dismissive tones, the burdens placed on shoulders too young to carry them — and shows you how to reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your life. 
Whether you’re still in the storm or long escaped from its eye, this book offers the clarity you’ve craved and the strength you deserve. Through powerful stories, psychological wisdom, and healing strategies, Rising Over the Waves helps you stop treading water and finally rise, not despite your past, but powerfully because of it. 
You are not too sensitive. You are not overreacting. You are rising.
