Sinossi

In "Ion," Plato explores the nature of poetic inspiration through a dialogue between Socrates and the rhapsode Ion. The text masterfully dissects the relationship between the poet, the audience, and the divine, positioning poetry as a medium that evokes emotion rather than communicates knowledge. The literary style is characterized by Socratic dialogue, employing probing questions that reveal deeper philosophical insights on art and its role in society. This work is situated in the context of Classical Athens, where the interplay between thought and creativity was undergoing significant examination, reflecting the intellectual currents of Plato's time. Plato, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, often grappled with the implications of art and beauty in his works. His experiences in a society rich in cultural expression, combined with his educational background as a student of Socrates, deeply informed his analysis in "Ion." The text serves as a critical reflection of his concerns regarding the influence of poetic art on moral and intellectual development, providing insight into his broader philosophical inquiries. "Ion" is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of art and the dynamics of artistic expression. By engaging with Plato's thoughts, readers will gain a profound appreciation for the complexities of creativity and inspiration, enriching their understanding of both poetry and philosophy.

    This is an introduction to The Tao of Human Interactions. 
    I decided to write this book because of the need for an effective system of managing and enhancing people's ability to communicate. Its applications span business as well as personal interactions. It can be a simple way of assessing the personalities of people around you and enabling you to better interact with them. I've played the role of an employee in middle management as well as upper management. One essential skill for any good manager is communication. It is important to be able to assess the people you are managing and also to be able to effectively deliver the correct messages. It is not only important to deliver the ideas, but it also needs to be done in a way that impacts the audience correctly. An effective manager must also assess and manage the emotional states of the people involved. I have spent a good part of my life working as an employee and in upper management and middle management. I have also consulted management for many different types of organizations in the public as well as the private sector. I have worked in specific industries such as transit, technology, public works, city government, the military, and hospitality. My approach has always been to try to create effective modes of interaction and communication between employees and middle management, as well as between management and upper management. 
    This book is concerned mostly with daily interactions at the employee level. The system and skills taught can be applied to any interaction in the business and personal life. Management systems are often well thought out and well structured, but quite often, they do not lend themselves to the chaotic, on-the-spot timber of human interactions. The Tao of Human Communications is a system rooted in present-moment fluid interactions.

    Eckhart Tolle Teaches a Surprising Form of Emotional Alchemy   To be human is to suffer. Whether it is brief annoyance or a life-altering cataclysm, everyone will encounter suffering—and yet, according to Eckhart Tolle, all of these painful moments contain an opportunity for awakening.   In Transforming Suffering into Peace, this celebrated teacher offers a new perspective on the ego and what he terms "the pain-body"—all the accumulated emotional wounds that follow us through life. Though the pain-body can easily rise up and hijack our consciousness with unpleasant emotions, in this program Eckhart reveals a hopeful truth—by turning the light of awareness on our suffering, that suffering becomes a powerful gateway to Presence.   Join Eckhart for more than three hours of insights on how to stay present during the arising of the pain-body and how to take advantage of what is actually a potent opportunity for awakening into Presence. Here you will learn: Why resentment and an inability to forgive supercharge the pain-bodyHow to stay present while honoring inescapable emotions like griefWhy some forms of suffering don't look like suffering on the surfaceHow to respond to challenging situations without feeding the egoWhy acceptance of the present moment doesn't mean passivity In the words of Eckhart, "The less you personalize the pain you feel and associate it with a story in your head . . . the more quickly it becomes transmuted. It becomes fuel for your consciousness." With Transmuting Suffering into Peace, you will discover just how even our most challenging experiences can become openings to a richer and more grounded life.

    William Bell Riley (March 22, 1861 - December 5, 1947) was known as "The Grand Old Man of Fundamentalism". Born and educated in Indiana, Riley received his teacher's certificate and, later, graduated from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. He served several Baptist churches in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois before taking the pastorate at the First Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN, in 1897. 
    Father Divine (1876 - 1965), also known as Reverend Major Jealous Divine, was an African American spiritual leader from 1907 until his death. He founded the International Peace Mission movement, formulated its doctrine of economic independence and racial equality, and oversaw its growth from a small and predominantly black congregation into a multiracial and international church. 
    Homer Alvan Rodeheaver (October 4, 1880 - December 18, 1955) was an American evangelist, music director, music publisher, composer of gospel songs, and pioneer in the recording of sacred music. From 1910 to 1930, he served as musical director for Billy Sunday, the most popular evangelist of the period, using his baritone voice to effect as a soloist and as a participant in ensembles composed of other members of Sunday's evangelistic team.

    In Homelessness Is a Housing Problem, Gregg Colburn and Clayton Page Aldern seek to explain the substantial regional variation in rates of homelessness in cities across the United States. In a departure from many analytical approaches, Colburn and Aldern shift their focus from the individual experiencing homelessness to the metropolitan area. Using accessible statistical analysis, they test a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and find that none explain the regional variation observed across the country. Instead, housing market conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing, offer a far more convincing account. With rigor and clarity, Homelessness Is a Housing Problem explores United States cities' diverse experiences with housing precarity and offers policy solutions for unique regional contexts.
