Beschreibung

Symposium by Plato - In ancient Greece, the symposium (Greek: συμπόσιον symposion or symposio, from συμπίνειν sympinein, "to drink together") was a part of a banquet that took place after the meal, when drinking for pleasure was accompanied by music, dancing, recitals, or conversation.

Literary works that describe or take place at a symposium include two Socratic dialogues, Plato's Symposium and Xenophon's Symposium, as well as a number of Greek poems such as the elegies of Theognis of Megara. Symposia are depicted in Greek and Etruscan art that shows similar scenes.

In modern usage, it has come to mean an academic conference or meeting such as a scientific conference. The equivalent of a Greek symposium in Roman society is the Latin convivium.

    The Prince 
    Niccolò Machiavelli's landmark treatise, written in 1513, remains one of the most influential—and controversial—works of political philosophy ever penned. Composed as a practical handbook for rulers, The Prince strips away idealism to reveal the unvarnished realities of power: how to seize it, how to wield it, and—most crucially—how to hold onto it in a world of shifting alliances, betrayal, and fortune. 
    Drawing from his own experience as a diplomat in the volatile world of Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli rejects lofty moral theories in favor of what actually works. Is it better to be loved or feared? When must a leader appear merciful, and when ruthless? How can a prince navigate the treacherous balance between virtue and vice to secure lasting authority? Through sharp analysis and vivid historical examples—from ancient Rome to the ruthless Cesare Borgia—Machiavelli delivers timeless lessons in realpolitik that continue to shape leaders, strategists, and thinkers today. 
    Often called the founding text of modern political science, The Prince shocked its contemporaries with its candid embrace of pragmatism over principle. Yet its enduring power lies in its unflinching honesty: power is not inherited or bestowed by right—it is taken, maintained, and defended through cunning, adaptability, and decisive action. 
    Narrated with clarity and intensity, this audiobook brings Machiavelli's razor-sharp prose to life, making his provocative insights accessible and compelling for modern audiences. Whether you're a student of history, a business leader, or simply fascinated by the dynamics of power, The Prince offers essential wisdom that remains as relevant—and as unsettling—in the 21st century as it was five hundred years ago.

    Understanding the Paradox of Surviving Childhood Trauma offers clinicians a new framework for understanding the symptoms and coping mechanisms displayed by survivors of childhood abuse. This approach considers how characteristics such as suicidality, self-harm, persistent depression, and anxiety can have roots in behaviors and beliefs that helped patients survive their trauma. This book provides practitioners with case examples, practical tips, and techniques for applying this mindset directly to their most complex cases. By depathologizing patients' experiences and behaviors, and moving beyond simply managing them, therapists can reduce their clients' shame and work collaboratively to understand the underlying message that these behaviors conceal.
