  Claudius - The Successful Roman...

  Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Emperor Claudius, ruled the Roman Empire from 41 to 54 AD. Born in Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon, France), in 10 BC, Claudius was the son of Drusus and Antonia Minor, both prominent figures in the Roman elite. His birthplace marked a significant departure from previous emperors, as he was the first Roman Emperor born outside Italy. Though Claudius’ family was rooted in the ancient Sabine people, his upbringing would not follow the traditional path of an elite Roman, largely due to his physical infirmities. He suffered from a limp and mild deafness, conditions that led his family to deem him unfit for public life and dismiss him from military and political endeavors. 
  Growing up in the shadows of more capable and ambitious relatives, Claudius was largely ignored by the Roman aristocracy. His health issues, though perhaps a result of childhood illness, kept him out of sight and out of mind during the brutal purges of Tiberius and Caligula. This absence from political life proved advantageous, as it spared him the many assassination attempts that claimed the lives of his more prominent family members. In a twist of fate, following the assassination of Caligula in 41 AD, the Praetorian Guard, upon finding him hiding in fear, declared Claudius the new emperor. As the only remaining adult male in his family, Claudius ascended to the throne, despite his perceived weakness. 
  Despite initial doubts about his ability to rule, Claudius quickly proved to be a capable and intelligent administrator. He worked tirelessly to stabilize the Roman Empire, which had suffered under the excesses of Caligula’s reign. One of his first actions was to restore the empire’s finances, expanding the imperial bureaucracy to include freedmen, and re-establishing order in the imperial administration.

  hus Spoke My Therapist: Nietzsche Without the Mental Breakdown is your one-way ticket to understanding one of history’s most misunderstood philosophers—without needing a doctorate or a prescription for existential dread. 
  This isn’t your professor’s Nietzsche. It’s Nietzsche with a cocktail of sarcasm, clarity, and just enough emotional damage to be relatable. Philosophy grad student and sarcasm connoisseur Sophia Blackwell slices through the fog of German metaphysics to deliver a book that actually explains what the mustachioed madman was on about—and makes you laugh so hard you forget you're spiraling. 
  Inside, you'll find: 
  Why "God is dead" isn’t just something said by goth teenagers. 
  How Christianity pulled off history’s greatest guilt trip. 
  What the "will to power" has to do with office politics and Instagram likes. 
  How eternal recurrence is basically Groundhog Day with higher stakes. 
  Why the Übermensch is less Hitler, more “that weirdly self-assured friend who makes their own almond milk.” 
  Perfect for people who want to understand philosophy without having to fake a seizure halfway through Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Whether you're a moody teenager, recovering philosophy major, or just someone who wants to win arguments online, this book will arm you with Nietzschean insights and the comedic timing to survive modern life’s absurdity. 
  Warning: Reading this may result in increased self-awareness, spontaneous existential crises, and the irresistible urge to quote Nietzsche at brunch
