The Unraveling Self

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In this thought-provoking and insightful book, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, exploring the enigmatic nature of the self and the factors that shape our identity. Drawing inspiration from philosophy, psychology, religion, and personal experience, we delve into the depths of human consciousness to uncover the mysteries that lie within.

We begin by examining the role of memory in shaping our sense of self. How do our memories define who we are? How does the fallibility of memory impact our perception of the past and our sense of identity? We also explore the relationship between the body and the self, considering how our physical appearance, our physical actions, and our physical sensations influence our sense of self.

Next, we turn our attention to the social self, investigating the ways in which our interactions with others shape our identity. We examine the concept of the performative self, the role we play in social interactions, and the challenges of maintaining our sense of self in difficult relationships. We also explore the concept of the spiritual self, considering the role of spirituality in finding meaning and purpose in life and the relationship between the spiritual self and the physical and social selves.

As we continue our journey, we explore the concept of the evolving self, examining how our experiences transform us over time. We consider the challenges of change, the opportunities for growth, and the importance of self-reflection in understanding and accepting ourselves. We also delve into the concept of the fragmented self, considering the causes and consequences of a fragmented sense of self and the process of healing and integration.

Finally, we turn our attention to the future of the self, considering the impact of technology, artificial intelligence, and the changing nature of work on our sense of self. We also explore the challenges and opportunities of living in a globalized world and the search for meaning and purpose in a rapidly changing world.

Throughout this exploration, we offer insights and practical tools to help readers on their own journey of self-discovery. We encourage readers to embrace the challenges and opportunities of this journey, to question their beliefs and assumptions, and to open their minds and hearts to the possibilities that lie ahead.

Alexander the Great and His Time

Agnes Savill

Alexander the Great, the king of Macedonia, was trained by Aristotle in every branch of human learning, conquered much of Asia, and was one of the greatest leaders in the history of the world. Conqueror of the Persian Empire, this military genius greatly influenced the spread of Hellenism and is responsible for profound changes in the course of world development. His actions and achievements would go on to inspire later conquerors such as Hannibal the Carthaginian and Napoleon. Agnes Savill’s illuminating biography transports listeners back to the era of this historical giant. 
“To be mystical and intensely practical, to dream greatly and to do greatly, is not given to many men,” says Agnes Savill; “it is this combination which gives Alexander his place apart in history. Aristotle had taught him that man’s highest good lay in right activity of mind and body both. [Alexander] gives a strangely vivid impression of one whose body was his servant.”

Brooklyn - The Once and Future City

Thomas J. Campanella

This audiobook narrated by William Hope provides an unprecedented history of Brooklyn, told through its places, buildings, and the people who made them, from the early seventeenth century to today

America's most storied urban underdog, Brooklyn has become an internationally recognized brand in recent decades—celebrated and scorned as one of the hippest destinations in the world. In Brooklyn: The Once and Future City, Thomas J. Campanella unearths long-lost threads of the urban past, telling the rich history of the rise, fall, and reinvention of one of the world's most resurgent cities.

Spanning centuries and neighborhoods, Brooklyn-born Campanella recounts the creation of places familiar and long forgotten, both built and never realized, bringing to life the individuals whose dreams, visions, rackets, and schemes forged the city we know today. He takes us through Brooklyn's history as homeland of the Leni Lenape and its transformation by Dutch colonists into a dense slaveholding region. We learn about English émigré Deborah Moody, whose town of Gravesend was the first founded by a woman in America. We see how wanderlusting Yale dropout Frederick Law Olmsted used Prospect Park to anchor an open space system that was to reach back to Manhattan. And we witness Brooklyn's emergence as a playland of racetracks and amusement parks celebrated around the world.

Campanella also describes Brooklyn's outsized failures, from Samuel Friede's bid to erect the world's tallest building to the long struggle to make Jamaica Bay the world's largest deepwater seaport, and the star-crossed urban renewal, public housing, and highway projects that battered the borough in the postwar era. Campanella reveals how this immigrant Promised Land drew millions, fell victim to its own social anxieties, and yet proved resilient enough to reawaken as a multicultural powerhouse and global symbol of urban vitality.
