    This book offers an insightful journey into the mental virtues that enable individuals to lead thoughtful, mindful, and informed lives. By embracing Understanding, Prudence, and Reflection, we can sharpen our decision-making, navigate life’s complexities, and foster wisdom in every aspect of our daily existence. 
    Understanding is the foundation of knowledge and growth. This section explores how seeking a deep comprehension of ourselves, others, and the world around us can lead to more compassionate, informed choices. It highlights the importance of open-mindedness, empathy, and the willingness to learn. 
    Prudence is the ability to make sound decisions, weighing the consequences of our actions. This part emphasizes the importance of careful judgment, foresight, and discipline in navigating life’s challenges. Prudence helps us avoid impulsive actions and ensures we make decisions that lead to long-term well-being. 
    In Reflection, the focus shifts to the power of introspection. By regularly reflecting on our thoughts, actions, and experiences, we can gain clarity, refine our goals, and grow emotionally and intellectually. This section emphasizes how mindful reflection leads to greater self-awareness and personal improvement. 
    Together, these three virtues enable thoughtful living, making it easier to navigate the complexities of life with wisdom, patience, and discernment. This book offers practical guidance on how to cultivate these virtues and integrate them into daily life for a more fulfilling and thoughtful existence.

    Maimonides’ Latin translation of Moreh Nevukhim Guide for the Perplexed, was the most influential Jewish work in the last millennia (Di Segni, 2019; Rubio, 2006; Wohlman, 1988, 1995; Kohler, 2017). It marked the beginning of scholasticism, a daughter of Judaism raised by Jewish thinkers, according to historian Heinrich Graetz (Geschichte der Juden, L. 6, Leipzig 1861, p. xii). 
    Printed by Gutenberg's first mechanical press, its influence in the West went as far as the Fifth Lateran Council (1512 — 1517) "where scholars were encouraged to remove the difficulties which seemed to divide the whole of theology and philosophy (Leibniz, Théodicée, 11)." 
    For centuries, the Guide revolutionized the curriculum of school instruction by reintegrating the natural laws of thought in the sphere of faith (the fourth of which became Leibniz’ Principle of sufficient reason). 
    This complete collection of notes expounds the ideas of the Guide and features all the passages selected and rewritten by Leibniz. This first complete annotated bilingual translation of the original manuscripts in Latin serves as an entry point to the faith in conformity with Reason. 
    Rabbi Moses Maimonides' excellent book, A Guide to the Perplexed, is more philosophical than I had imagined and worthy of careful reading. The author, distinguished by his intelligence in philosophy, was well-versed in mathematics, medical art, and also in the knowledge of the sacred Scriptures. — G.W. LEIBNIZ, 1685, Leibniz’ Anthology of Maimonides’ Guide, Chapter III. 
    Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon referred to by the initials of his name as RAMBAM, also known in the past as Moseh d’Egypto (Moses of Egypt) because of his long residence there, was born in Córdoba (Spain) in 1131 4891 and left this temporal world in 1204 4964. He is the most universal Rabbi of an eternal tradition.

    Are you constantly worrying about your health, or the health of a loved one? Do you frequently check yourself for lumps, bumps, tingling, or pain? Do you find yourself endlessly looking up symptoms on the internet? Perhaps you find yourself asking others for reassurance or validation that you’re okay, obsessing over health scares in the media, or monitoring your blood pressure on an hourly basis? No matter how your health anxiety manifests, it can be a crippling psychological burden. Endlessly ruminating about illness and death can affect all aspects of life—at home, work, school, as well as the doctor’s office. 
     
     
     
    In Freedom from Health Anxiety, nationally recognized anxiety expert Karen Lynn Cassiday teaches you skills to conquer health anxiety, once and for all. You'll learn to switch from focusing on worst-case scenarios to appreciating the joy of the present moment—regardless of  health status. Using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and the author's "learned inhibition" model, you'll finally acquire the tools you need to take charge of your fear and break the cycle of stressing over your—or your loved one's—well-being. You'll also learn effective methods for tolerating health uncertainty, getting in touch with your body's cues, and rediscovering the pleasure of the present.
