Synopsis

In "Pictures of Hellas: Five Tales of Ancient Greece," Peder Mariager invites readers on a captivating journey through the rich tapestry of ancient Greek life, blending narrative storytelling with historical insight. Each of the five tales serves as a vivid tableau, illuminating distinct facets of Greek culture, mythology, and philosophical thought, showcasing Mariager's meticulous attention to historical detail and his lyrical prose style akin to classic epic storytelling. The book elegantly weaves together elements of tragedy, comedy, and moral inquiry, echoing the literary traditions of Homer and Sophocles, while also reflecting contemporary themes that resonate with modern sensibilities. Peder Mariager, a distinguished scholar of ancient history and literature, draws upon his extensive academic background to breathe life into the characters and settings of ancient Greece. His passion for Hellenic studies, forged through years of research and travel across the Greek landscapes, deeply informs the authenticity woven throughout these tales. Mariager's multifaceted understanding of Greek society allows him to present not just stories, but immersion into the philosophical and existential questions faced by individuals in that time. For readers eager to explore the enduring legacy of ancient Greece, "Pictures of Hellas" offers an accessible yet profound experience. Mariager's storytelling is not only informative but incredibly engaging, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature, history, and the timeless themes of humanity.

    What if I were to tell you the conventional career intelligence publicly available surrounding careers in construction has mostly held you back? 
    This is the case for a few reasons. First, it’s incomplete and missing context. Second, it doesn’t provide a holistic approach to career development. And third, it’s missing all the internal work that’s first required to achieve career success, because we live from the inside out. 
    You could spend years accruing bits and pieces of career intelligence for the construction industry, and that’s what it has taken me. I will fast-track that for you, by guiding, inspiring, and directing you to achieve more recognition, higher compensation and faster career progression. 
    Are you ready to start construction on the greatest project you'll ever work on?

    The Conference of the Birds or Speech of the Birds is a Persian poem by Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar, commonly known as Attar of Nishapur. The title is taken directly from the Qur'an, 27:16, where Sulayman and Dāwūd are said to have been taught the language, or speech, of the birds. 
    In the poem, the birds of the world gather to decide who is to be their sovereign, as they have none. The hoopoe, the wisest of them all, suggests that they should find the legendary Simorgh. The hoopoe leads the birds, each of whom represents a human fault which prevents humankind from attaining enlightenment.

  • Codependency - Why do you attract unhealthy people? No more falling into toxic relationships Break the suffering cycle and learn how to love again - cover

    Codependency - Why do you...

    Are you having trouble fostering healthy relationships? 
    Are you stressed, feeling drained and exhausted from giving too much in your relationships? 
    Do you know who you are? What you need? What you like? Or do you feel that you need to be validated and approved by a partner (or any other person) to feel good about yourself? 
    Codependency is notoriously difficult to combat because there is no precise definition of the disorder. The signs and symptoms also differ for everyone. It is often mistaken for narcissism or other personality disorders that do not reflect the true situation. 
    People who suffer from this disorder tend to mask what they really feel. At other times, they are not even aware of what they are doing. This only serves to cloud the overall picture by delaying positive interventions, which, sometimes will never come. 
    I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THIS BOOK IF: 
    • You are not aware of how you truly feel. 
    • You have difficulty identifying your feelings. 
    • You have difficulty expressing your feelings. 
    • You tend to minimize, modify or even deny the reality of what you feel. 
    • You tend to worry and/or fear how others may respond to how you feel. 
    • You give power over your feelings to others. 
    Act now before it's too late 
    If a codependent denies his destructive behavior, he can pass it on to his children. If the child does not realise the behavioural model of the parents, and its negative impact, it will generate the same patterns as an adult. An endless cycle can be established. 
    Commit to breaking this cycle and regain control of your life.
