  Attitudes to Life

  "As long as we have the delusion of an ego, we will have all sorts of attitudes, convictions and views, which are all thought-created. In fact, instead of having a direct experience of life in the present, we live in a world of thoughts of either the past or the future. We live by our memories, speculations and fears. 
   
  We miss so much of life by reproducing it second-hand in our mind. 
   
  But once we have realized our true nature by breaking through our protective shell, we will live in the present moment. All our bare attention will be given to the act without the assumption of an ego outside the act. That moment will fill the whole of our action—the whole of our sense-impressions: the seeing, the hearing, the smelling, the touching, the tasting, the knowing."

  Innovationism - A new philosophy...

  This book presents a groundbreaking philosophy for the AI era, proposing that as AI takes over most jobs, the mission of humanity and the meaning of life will be found in the pursuit of innovation and heritage. 
  Unlike other life forms, humanity's essence lies in its ability to innovate and pass on knowledge, as human civilization thrives on the accumulation of innovations that become its heritage. When contrasted with non-living entities, humanity's essence is evolution-seen as the innovation and heritage of genes. From this perspective, humanity must preserve and amplify its essence by prioritizing innovation, not just as a driver of economic success but as a pathway to a fulfilling and meaningful existence. This is one of the key reasons why humans should lead innovation, even if AI surpasses us in many domains. Another philosophical justification to lead innovation is our inherent ability to define the values and purpose necessary to steer humanity's pursuit of innovation and heritage, ensuring long-term prosperity for all. 
  The book explores innovationism as a philosophy, comparing it to other schools of thought-particularly its perspectives on wealth, happiness and well-being. The book also explores critical global challenges, such as the population crisis and climate change, through the lens of "Innovationism," offering a comprehensive framework for addressing sustainability issues. 
  A national "innovation capacity model" is presented, highlighting the critical roles of large populations and interconnectedness in fostering innovation.

  The First Intifada - A History...

  The First Intifada was an uprising in the Gaza Strip and West Bank that began in 1987 and ended in 1993. There are two quite different and contradictory historical perspectives on this conflict. Palestinians generally viewed the uprising as a popular resistance movement against military occupation and policies they experienced as oppressive. From the Israeli side, however, the actions taken were seen as a reasonable and legitimate response to protect citizens and soldiers from violence and to maintain order in territory under their control. 
  With the benefit of thirty years of hindsight, is it possible to consider a more balanced account of the First Intifada? Why did it begin, what happened, and how did it lead to changes in the Gaza Strip that have shaped subsequent developments in the region to the present day? This is the complex story of the First Intifada.

  John Locke - English Edition

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In the turbulent seventeenth century, amidst civil wars, revolutions, and religious disputes, John Locke became one of the minds that best understood — and best discussed — the price of authority and the value of liberty. This book traces his life and work from within: his formation, his medical-scientific turn, his proximity to power, exile, and the writing that established him as the father of modern empiricism and liberal thought. This ninth instalment also explores his grey areas: the limits of his tolerance, the centrality of property, and the uncomfortable part of colonialism. The result is a complete portrait of a thinker we continue to use to think about the present, precisely because his lights and shadows still challenge us.

  Hans-Ulrich Rudel: The Life and...

  Few people personified the advancements, abilities, and tactical adeptness of the Luftwaffe like Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the most successful dive bomber in the history of warfare. Like hundreds of millions of others born in the early 20th century, his life was shaped by the Second World War, which started when he was just 23. He was born into and shaped by one of the most brutal and infamous regimes in history, and once indoctrinated, he fought determinedly and with real commitment in support of that regime. He flew over 2,500 combat missions, reportedly destroying over 500 Soviet tanks, 170 artillery pieces, 800 other vehicles, and a battleship on the way to becoming the highest-decorated Nazi soldier of World War II, receiving the Knight’s Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds. He was shot down, or crash landed, multiple times, and even after having reportedly been told by Hitler to stop flying on several occasions, he insisted on returning to the front to fight with his comrades. He lost a leg to gunfire in early 1945 but carried on with his combat missions despite the pain and the practical difficulties of flying with one leg. There is no denying his bravery, however unpleasant the cause for which he fought. 
  Hans-Ulrich Rudel is therefore a challenging character to analyze. His autobiography, Stuka Pilot, was originally entitled Trotzdem (“In spite of everything”), pointing strongly to his continuing support, post-war, for the Nazi ideology. But his book remains a detailed, fascinating, largely credible (and mostly ideology-free) account of his wartime experiences, even as his final pages include references to his proud insistence on performing the Nazi salute in front of the American soldiers who had taken him prisoner and who were providing medical care to his amputated stump.

  Workbook: Adult Children of...

  Note: This audiobook is included (for free) inside its respective print and e-book versions. 
  Every person experiences emotions; it’s one of the most natural aspects of everyone’s life. Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of dealing with these intense feelings effectively. And, when you’ve been raised by emotionally immature parents who don’t allow you to be an individual who can express their feelings, you will be set up for failed (and sometimes even abusive) relationships in the future. 
  As children, our number one role models are our parents; we give them unconditional trust to guide us through the world. But when the trust is broken, and their behavior and temperament toward us are less than ideal, we can develop coping mechanisms in a bid to shield ourselves from the hurt. If your parent starved you emotionally, then you have a pretty clear picture of what this means – but it doesn't have to remain this way. 
  In her original, clinical psychologist Dr. Lindsay Gibson discusses this phenomenon, the effect that the poor emotional development of parents can have on their children’s lives, and practical steps you can take to break free from this cycle. 
  This workbook offers an immersive experience that combines summaries, key takeaways, insights, exercises, prompts, thought-provoking questions, and guided reflections to bridge the gap between the book's teachings and your life. You will embark on thorough shadow work guided by the wisdom of Lindsay C. Gibson, but there's only one rule – don't be afraid to dig deep and feel. Facing the resurfacing emotions of your past may be uncomfortable, to say the least, but it is an essential part of the process.
