Summary

Epicurus: Life Teachings explores the biography and philosophy of Epicurus, illuminating his views on achieving happiness and well-being through a life of thoughtful pleasure and tranquility. The book challenges the common misconception of Epicureanism as mere hedonism, instead presenting it as a rational system for minimizing pain and maximizing joy. Epicurus believed that understanding the nature of the universe, particularly our mortality, is essential for achieving ataraxia, a state of freedom from disturbance. The book examines Epicurus’s life within the context of Hellenistic Philosophy, exploring his ethics, physics, and epistemology. It emphasizes the importance of friendship and prudence in attaining a fulfilling life. Through direct quotations and analysis of surviving texts, the book presents Epicurus's arguments, demonstrating the relevance of his teachings to modern life. It progresses from an introduction to Epicurus's biography, through an exploration of his core teachings, to practical applications of Epicurean principles for contemporary readers.

    We are sometimes our own worst enemies, sabotaging our success and with it our chance for lasting happiness and opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. It's Not Your Fault helps listeners uncover the subconscious reasons they hold themselves back. These blind spots were often created in childhood as coping mechanisms in response to trauma. Rather than teaching tactics that ignore or give surface attention to adverse childhood events, the book lovingly guides listeners to explore the ways these events have impacted their lives and how this knowledge will help them access true transformation. 
     
     
     
    Those who have been let down by traditional therapeutic techniques know that behavior modification doesn't work for everyone. Simply doing things differently while staying the same on the inside might help for the short term, but before long old patterns emerge. Once they decide to get serious about change, however, and stop tweaking habits in the hope it will result in lasting transformation, they can create a life by design instead of default. It takes work, an internal excavation, and Laura comes alongside the listener as a trusted guide who has been where they are now. She provides the tools and anecdotal evidence to show them how to overcome the pain of self-sabotage and create the life they desire.

He's taught numerous workshops, been a guest speaker at libraries and museums, and been honored as a Piedmont Laureate. He writes stuff and gets paid. You can too! 
    Samples: 
    "Little by little the writing gets done. A book emerges from the ether, to join its brethren in the great library of mankind. I am the author. Of all possible lives I might have chosen, this one feels right." 
    -- 
    "When I was working on my first novel, then my second, then my third, I kept thinking there would come a day when, finally, I’d have it all figured out. There’d be some novel writing process I could follow again and again that would allow me to write books with far less hassle and strain. Eventually I realized that hassle and strain are the process." 
    -- 
    "I almost hate to tell you about the false solution. Once you’re aware of it, you’ll never be able to read books or watch movies without this narrative slight-of-hand being obvious. From this point on, you’re a magician who knows how the woman gets sawed in half." 
    What critics are saying: 
    "Positive, solid advice offered in a breezy, useful way. It's going on my small shelf of writing books." — Gary Cohn

  • Medieval Conspiracy Theories: The History of the Most Popular Conspiracy Theories about the Middle Ages - cover

    Medieval Conspiracy Theories:...

    Few eras are easier to let the imagination run wild than the Middle Ages, which have often been coined the Dark Ages based on a perceived lack of progress and information. Indeed, we can say that it is not completely unfounded because we know less about that historical period compared to those that come after it. In addition, it is a period marked by a great number of deaths caused by plague epidemics, crusades, and inquisitorial persecutions. Often, researchers are not even sure how and why certain events happened, and these mysteries still occupy the attention of historians. 
    	This era was very harsh, difficult, and often gloomy. In that greyness, burdened by various fears, people were looking for something that would light up their lives and bring them a feeling of beauty and joy. People experienced all things and events around them more intensely than people do today. They often exaggerated the events that happened, giving them a mystical and divine character. For this reason, medieval sources are taken with a grain of salt and are first carefully examined before believing.  
    	At the same time, some historical mysteries about the era may never be solved, if only because the relevant excavated material has been lost or the archaeological site has been destroyed. In other cases, it is because new evidence is unlikely to emerge, or the surviving evidence is too vague to lead to a consensus. Of course, the lack of answers only makes these enigmas more intriguing.  
    	Similarly, few stories have the power to mesmerize as much as unsolved mysteries, so codes and missing puzzle pieces fill people with excitement and intrigue. What did a source want to say with that coded message? What mysteries did they hide?
