    Remotivation is a vital guide to help you thrive at work and beyond - no matter where you're located! 
    The book is designed to help you create your own version of success by showing you how to activate 6 key motivations to work: money, identity, routines, growth, impact, and joy. 
    Sarah Aviram worked remotely as a Human Resources leader from 12 different countries in 12 months while researching the future of work - from co-working spaces in Mexico City and Medellin, to cafes in Kuala Lumpur and Kyoto. 
    Many remote workers she met and interviewed, thought that having the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere would make them feel happier and more motivated at work. But then they found themselves working from the beach in Bali still feeling stuck and unfulfilled. 
    Aviram realized that being able to work from anywhere was only a band aid solution for a much bigger challenge: not being motivated by the work itself. 
    Through fun inspirational stories, research, and her HR expertise, Aviram shows you how to tackle challenges that might be getting in the way of your fulfillment like the pressure of others’ expectations, the guilt you have about what you “should” be doing, and inertia of routines that don’t support your goals. You’ll also be empowered with the tools you need to create more opportunities for impact, tactics to develop new skills, and ways to do more work you enjoy – whether from the office, your home, or the beach!

  • The History and Legacy of Asia Minor’s Most Important Ancient Civilizations - cover

    The History and Legacy of Asia...

    The pages of world history textbooks contain a litany of “lost” empires and civilizations, but usually, upon further review, it is revealed that these so called lost empires are often just lesser known cultures that had a less apparent impact on history than other more well-known civilizations. When one scours the pages of history for a civilization that was inexplicably lost, but had a great impact during its time, very few candidates can be found, but the Hittites are a notable example. In fact, the Hittites are an ancient people who remain somewhat enigmatic, and perhaps little known to most people, but their influence on the ancient Near East is undeniable. From high on their capital of Hattusa in central Anatolia, the Hittites were able to conquer and control a kingdom that roughly comprised the area of the modern nation-states of Turkey, Syria, and parts of Iraq and Lebanon. 
    Among the peoples of the ancient Near East, few are more misunderstood than the Scythians. The Scythians swept into Anatolia in the early first millennium BCE and left a large swath of destruction in their wake. They challenged old, strong, and venerable kingdoms such as the Assyrians, Egyptians, and Medes, until they were defeated by the Medes and then gradually disappeared into historical obscurity once more. According to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, the Scythians ruled a large part of the Near East for nearly 30 years, but before they disappeared from the historical record, the Scythians greatly impacted the history of the Near East. 
    Of all the empires and kingdoms in the ancient world, few could compare with the Lydians in terms of wealth and opulence. From the early 7th century BCE until the middle of the 6th century BCE, the Lydians played an important role in the history of the eastern Mediterranean region as they took on the role of middleman between the empires of the Near East and the emerging Hellenic civilization in Greece.

  • What Is Property? - An Inquiry into the Principle of Right and of Government - cover

    What Is Property? - An Inquiry...

    Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

    ‘Property is Theft’, a phrase which has passed into common parlance, was the rallying call of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s political treatise What Is Property? Proudhon (1809-1865) was both admired and excoriated. A political theorist of the first order, he was vilified in his native France by the Communists and the Monarchists alike, though admired by Karl Marx as well as many in the nation’s academia and judiciary who valued the clarity of his thought and analytical method.  
     
    He criticised both Right and Left (the very definition of French political thinking), describing them as two sides of the same coin. Their solutions to society’s ills, he said, were like Thesis and Antithesis, based on a common error and both inadequate to the task of healing society. He offered, instead, a third way, which he called his Synthesis. Regarded as the founder of modern Anarchism, his aim was not to engender chaos, as the word anarchy often connotes, but to suggest a workable, political, and economic foundation for society which would promote order and equity for all under the most unfettered conditions of individual liberty.  
     
    Proudhon grew up in poverty, and was home schooled as a child, but received a bursary in his youth sufficient to allow him to attend the City College in his home town (though not sufficient, it seems, to buy him shoes). There, he discovered the library which introduced him to a world, classical and contemporary, previously denied him. Lacking wealth or contacts, he worked variously as a printer, a compositor and proof-reader by day and an essayist by night, learning Latin along the way to assist in his work. In 1830, a friend, a scholar, invited Proudhon to join him in Paris to pursue his philosophical writings full time. When a cholera outbreak forced his return home, Proudhon spent the next few years juggling his two careers. In 1839, he applied for a pension (bursary) at the Academy of Besançon which obliged him to write works on its behalf.  
     
    What Is Property?, published in France in 1840, was his first. It was so controversial that little else followed. However, it established his reputation, and he was eventually able to pursue his philosophical work full time. What Is Property? (First Memoir) attempts to uncover the roots of poverty and associated social ills and examines different attitudes to poverty and wealth from the Greeks to the present day. Proudhon quickly identifies a common thread, property, which he distinguishes from possession, and argues that only a fundamental, though gradual, abandonment of property (as an asset) and all that flows from it, can rescue society from its current conflicts. The memoir seeks to illuminate the underlying causes of war, poverty, slavery, and oppression and points the way to a solution. In effect, it is a practical manual for the survival of mankind. The Second Memoir (1841), included on this recording, is Proudhon’s response to the criticisms of the First Memoir, initially uncomprehending and then self-assured by turns. What Is Property? is Proudhon’s masterwork. It divides opinion, but no one who hears it can come away with their view of their own world unchanged.

    Honesty is often considered a fundamental virtue, a cornerstone upon which trust, respect, and meaningful relationships are built. At its core, honesty means being truthful with oneself and others. It is the practice of aligning our words, actions, and thoughts with the truth, regardless of how uncomfortable or inconvenient it may be. Without honesty, connections with others become shallow, and personal integrity is compromised. In this chapter, we explore the foundational aspects of honesty and its significance in both our personal lives and society. 
    To understand honesty fully, we must first examine what it entails. It is not merely about avoiding lies; it is about living in alignment with the truth, expressing ourselves openly, and being transparent in our actions. Honesty goes beyond just telling the truth when asked—it involves a deep commitment to truth in every aspect of our lives. This means that our words, our actions, and our thoughts should reflect what is genuinely real, without embellishment or deceit. 
    The importance of honesty cannot be overstated. When we are honest, we cultivate trust—both with others and within ourselves. Trust is the bedrock of any healthy relationship, whether personal or professional. Without honesty, trust erodes, leading to misunderstandings, broken relationships, and a sense of disconnection. Moreover, honesty fosters a sense of clarity and peace within ourselves. When we live truthfully, we are no longer burdened by the weight of deceit or the need to maintain false facades. We are free to be ourselves, unencumbered by the fear of being exposed or found out.
