Sinossi

In the "VOLTAIRE - Premium Collection," readers are treated to a rich anthology that showcases the multifaceted brilliance of one of the Enlightenment's most influential thinkers. This collection features a selection of Voltaire's sharp wit, literary prowess, and incisive social commentary across genres, including essays, philosophical tales, and plays. Through his distinctive use of satire and allegory, Voltaire critiques dogma, religious intolerance, and the folly of absolute power, making his writings remarkable not only for their historical significance but also for their timeless relevance to contemporary discourse on reason and freedom. François-Marie Arouet, known as Voltaire, was a profound advocate for civil liberties and a critic of French society's rigid hierarchies. His tumultuous life, marked by exile and imprisonment, reflects his tireless pursuit of justice and truth. Growing up in a society rife with censorship and oppression, Voltaire's experiences fueled his commitment to challenging authority and championing Enlightenment ideals, a theme that resonates throughout this collection. This premium edition is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of modern thought and the enduring impact of literature as a vehicle for social change. Voltaire's engaging prose invites readers to rethink their own positions on religion, politics, and human rights, making this collection an essential addition to any serious literary library.

    Terrell J. Brown’s The Weather Man examines the fragile harmony between internal and external factors that form our lives, utilizing the metaphor of weather to depict the emotional and psychological crises we endure. As the protagonist struggles with self-doubt, prior trauma, and societal expectations, they must manage the unpredictability of their inner world and the turmoil around them. The path to stability is not easy—it involves deep self-awareness, confrontation with difficult facts, and the bravery to reorient one’s internal compass.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.136 by Tan Acharn Kor Khao-suan-luang (Upāsikā Kee Ñāṇayon), 'A Good Dose of Dhamma: For Meditators WhenThey Are Ill' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. Translated from the Thai by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. 
     
    Excerpt from Chapter 1 
    "Normally, illness is something we all have, but the type of illness where you can still do your work isn’t recognised as illness. It is called the normal human state all over the world. Yet really, when the body is in its normal state, it is still ill in and of itself. People in general are simply unaware of the fact that there is the deterioration of physical and mental phenomena, continually, from moment to moment. 
    The way people get carried away with their thoughts and preoccupations while they’re still strong enough to do this and do that: that’s really complacency. They’re no match at all for people lying in bed ill.People lying in bed ill are lucky because they have the opportunity to do nothing but contemplate stress and pain. Their minds don’t take up anything else, don’t go anywhere else. They can contemplate pain at all times—and let go of pain at all times as well."

    Anger is a powerful emotion that can impact our lives in profound ways. It can arise in moments of frustration, disappointment, or perceived injustice, and, if left unchecked, can lead to regrettable actions and damaged relationships. While anger is a natural and normal response, learning to manage it effectively is crucial for maintaining healthy connections, achieving personal growth, and finding inner peace. When we allow anger to control us, it can fuel conflicts, impact our mental and physical health, and create barriers to personal and professional success. 
    Effective anger management is about more than suppressing or ignoring angry feelings; it’s about understanding, channeling, and transforming those feelings in constructive ways. This requires self-awareness, discipline, and a commitment to self-improvement. Through recognizing the underlying causes of anger, we can begin to address the root issues rather than simply reacting to the symptoms. Mastering anger management allows us to regain control over our emotional responses and, ultimately, our lives. 
    This book provides a comprehensive approach to managing anger by combining practical techniques, psychological insights, and real-life applications. Whether you’re someone who frequently experiences intense anger or simply looking to improve emotional balance, this guide offers tools to help you navigate challenging situations with clarity and control. Each chapter is designed to address different aspects of anger, from recognizing triggers and practicing immediate calming techniques to implementing long-term strategies for lasting emotional balance.
