Sinopsis

Before there was "Chicken Soup for the Soul" or "The Secret," there was a condemned Roman aristocrat writing philosophy by candlelight while awaiting execution. Meet Boethius: Rome's most overachieving nerd who went from Senate superstar to death row philosopher faster than you can say "political conspiracy."In "PRISON PHILOSOPHY," you'll discover:
 
How Boethius invented the self-help genre while literally awaiting execution (talk about deadline pressure!)
 
Why Fortune is basically that toxic friend who builds you up just to watch you fall
 
How to find happiness according to a guy who was objectively in one of the least happy situations imaginable
 
The mind-bending solution to free will vs. divine foreknowledge that's kept philosophy professors employed for 1500 years
 
Why kings, monks, and scholars all suddenly decided prison writings were the hottest thing in medieval town
 
How to apply "The Consolation of Philosophy" without the inconvenience of imprisonment or execution
 
Part biography, part philosophical roast, and part genuine life advice, this irreverent guide transforms Boethius's dense philosophical classic into a laugh-out-loud exploration of life's biggest questions. You'll learn how a man who lost everything—wealth, freedom, and eventually his head—managed to write a book so influential it would be read for the next thousand years.Whether you're facing your own wheel of fortune or just enjoy philosophical humor that doesn't take itself too seriously, "PRISON PHILOSOPHY" delivers ancient wisdom with modern wit. Because sometimes the best life advice comes from someone having a worse day than you.Warning: May cause uncontrollable laughter, unexpected philosophical insights, and the sudden urge to write your memoirs the next time you're mildly inconvenienced.

    The Foxfire Book of Appalachian...

    In 1966 in Rabun County, Georgia, a group of high school English students created theFoxfire magazine, a literary journal that celebrated Appalachian stories, peoples, and culture. The publication was filled with poetry and prose from local students and authors and featured interviews with community members. These oral histories quickly became the focal point of the magazine and, eventually, the material that generated the multivolume Foxfire book series. 
     
    Now, pulled from the vast Foxfire archive comes the first volume in the series focused specifically on the lives of Appalachian women. These remarkable narratives illuminate a diverse regional culture held together by the threads that are woven between women and place, and through generations. Told sometimes with humor, sometimes with sadness, but always with a gripping rawness and honesty, the stories recount women’s lived experiences from the 1960s to the present. The interviews cover work, family, and community, illuminating Cherokee, Black, and white women’s experiences; changes in Appalachian culture; and the importance of relationships in daily life. Reading each interview in this book is almost like joining these women on their porches and in their homes as they take us on a journey through their lives. Taken together, the stories speak against regional stereotypes and offer instead a sampling of the many expressions of these women’s strength.

    Discover 51 of the most common and not-so-common cat gods, goddesses, deities, and demons from around the world and how to incorporate their Divine Feline Energy into your daily life. Throughout time, felines have played a sacred role in human life. Archeologists have found cat remains buried with humans as far back as the tenth millennium BCE in Cyprus, and the Greek goddess Hecate is said to have regularly assumed the form of a cat. Hieroglyphics tell us that ancient Egyptians worshipped cat gods, and their queen Cleopatra had a kitty companion in her palace whom she called Tivali. A Chinese cat goddess called Li Shou is said to have protected farmers from mice, and Ai Apaec was a pre-Inca god with fangs and whiskers said to have descended from an even more ancient cat god. This book is more than a guide to ancient cat gods. It’s an exploration of the way humans have observed, interacted with, learned from, and revered another species who share the Earth with us. Ancient folklore is rife with examples of animal cunning and compassion, and many humans invoked other species as spiritual guides or flat out worshipped them as gods. Arguably, cats are the most intriguing of animals because of how we can relate to them. Much like us, they are free spirits and adaptable survivors. We admire them for their dignity, independence, and ferocity. In this guidebook, you’ll meet 51 feline deities and demons from four geographical families around the world—Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. You’ll also encounter mystical cats who work in alliance with human gods and goddesses. The feline entities come from different eras and cultures all over the world. Some are angelic guides, and others, demonic adversaries, but all play a role in our understanding of feline deities and why they became to be so. Learn all about these sacred godlike creatures, including what they look like, what they symbolize, and how you can use their spirit and ancient wisdom to tap into your own Divine Feline Energy.
