  How to Say No - An Ancient Guide...

  Diogenes

  The Cynics were ancient Greek philosophers who stood athwart the flood of society's material excess, unexamined conventions, and even norms of politeness and thundered "No!" Diogenes, the most famous Cynic, wasn't shy about literally extending his middle finger to the world. When asked why he was called Diogenes the Dog, he replied "because I fawn on those who give, I bark at those who don't, and I bite scoundrels." How to Say No is a delightful collection of brief ancient writings about Cynicism that captures all the outrageousness, wit, and wisdom of its remarkable cast of characters—from Diogenes in the fourth century BCE to the column-stander Symeon Stylites in late antiquity. 
   
   
   
  With their "less is more" approach to life, the Cynics speak urgently to our world of climate change, economic uncertainty, and psychic malaise. Although the Cynics weren't writers, their memorable utterances and behavior were recorded by their admirers and detractors, and M. D. Usher offers fresh new translations of appealing selections from this body of writing—ranging from street sermons and repartee to biography and snapshots of Cynics in action. 
   
   
   
  Complete with introductions to the volume, this lively book demonstrates why the Cynics still retain their power to surprise us and make us laugh—and to make us think and question how we live.

  O Reader, so special and dear!  
  Perhaps, in a corner, you sit today,  
  spirit broken, tears rolled, you sway.  
  A grain of sand, swept off, só confused;  
  struggling, searching, your heart suffered, bruised!  
  Many uncertainties weigh on your soul-  
  unexpected illness, violence, death a toll.  
  May poetic words ease your heart's silent plea-  
  heavenly comfort to help you be free!  
  To relax and smile through both joy and despair,  
  read Isaiah 43, find solace in prayer!  
  And may that tiny grain of silica becomes bright,  
  unfolding like quartz, bringing beauty and light!  
  Wishes from my heart, 
  Johanita

  Pythagoras - The Philosopher of...

  Pythagoras of Samos, one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in the history of philosophy and mathematics, is a person whose legacy continues to shape various disciplines. Born around 570 BCE on the Greek island of Samos, Pythagoras became famous not only for his contributions to mathematics but also for his unique approach to life, religion, and the natural world. His teachings, although shrouded in mystery due to the scarcity of historical records, have left an indelible mark on Western thought, especially in the realms of mathematics, music, ethics, and cosmology. 
  As a philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras is perhaps best known for the Pythagorean Theorem, a fundamental principle in geometry that has influenced the study of mathematics for over two millennia. However, his impact extends far beyond the confines of geometry. Pythagoras is often credited with transforming numbers from mere tools of calculation into a system that mirrors the structure and harmony of the universe. For him, numbers were not just abstract symbols but the very essence of reality, governing everything from the motions of the stars to the patterns in music. His belief in the mystical and metaphysical significance of numbers laid the groundwork for later developments in philosophy, particularly the idea that the world is not a chaotic, random place but a cosmos governed by rational and harmonious principles. 
  Pythagoras also founded a community known as the Pythagorean Brotherhood, a school that combined elements of philosophy, religion, and science. This group not only explored intellectual pursuits but also engaged in practices aimed at moral and spiritual purification. Through this community, Pythagoras introduced the idea of the soul’s immortality and its journey of reincarnation, concepts that would influence the course of Greek philosophy and eventually early Christian thought.

  Sea State - A Memoir

  A Recommended Read from: Vogue * USA Today * The Los Angeles Times * Publishers Weekly * The Week * Alma * Lit Hub 
  A stunning and brutally honest memoir that shines a light on what happens when female desire conflicts with a culture of masculinity in crisis 
  In her midthirties and newly free from a terrible relationship, Tabitha Lasley quit her job at a London magazine, packed her bags, and poured her savings into a six-month lease on an apartment in Aberdeen, Scotland. She decided to make good on a long-deferred idea for a book about oil rigs and the men who work on them. Why oil rigs? She wanted to see what men were like with no women around. 
  In Aberdeen, Tabitha became deeply entrenched in the world of roughnecks, a teeming subculture rich with brawls, hard labor, and competition. The longer she stayed, the more she found her presence had a destabilizing effect on the men—and her. 
  Sea State is on the one hand a portrait of an overlooked industry: “offshore” is a way of life for generations of primarily working-class men and also a potent metaphor for those parts of life we keep at bay—class, masculinity, the transactions of desire, and the awful slipperiness of a ladder that could, if we tried hard enough, lead us to security. 
  Sea State is on the other hand the story of a journalist whose professional distance from her subject becomes perilously thin. In Aberdeen, Tabitha gets high and dances with abandon, reliving her youth, when the music was good and the boys were bad. Twenty years on, there is Caden: a married rig worker who spends three weeks on and three weeks off. Alone and in an increasingly precarious state, Tabitha dives into their growing attraction. The relationship, reckless and explosive, will lay them both bare.
