  Future of an Illusion

  Siegmund Freud

  "Future of an Illusion," authored by Sigmund Freud in 1927, embarks on a critical examination of religion, articulating it as a psychological construct born from humanity's deep-seated needs for protection, moral guidance, and understanding of the universe. Freud posits that religion, while serving as a comforting illusion to shield individuals from the stark realities of life and the inevitability of death, is ultimately a hindrance to intellectual and emotional maturity. He argues that the progress of civilization hinges on the ability of individuals to eschew religious belief in favor of rational thought and scientific inquiry. This work not only showcases Freud's psychoanalytic acumen but also engages deeply with the sociocultural role of religion, proposing a future where enlightened reason supplants faith. Despite the controversy it stirred, particularly among the devout, Freud's critique remains a pivotal contribution to the discourse on the psychology of religion and the development of secular thought.

  How to Flourish - An Ancient...

  Aristotle, Susan Sauvé Meyer

  Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is one of the greatest guides to human flourishing ever written, but its length and style have left many readers languishing. How to Flourish is a colloquial new translation by Susan Sauvé Meyer that makes Aristotle's timeless insights about how to lead a good life more engaging and accessible than ever before. 
   
   
   
  For Aristotle, flourishing involves becoming a good person through practice, and having a life of the mind. To that end, he draws vivid portraits of virtuous and vicious characters and offers sound practical advice about everything from eating and drinking to managing money, controlling anger, getting along with others, and telling jokes. He also distinguishes different kinds of wisdom that are essential to flourishing and offers an unusual perspective on how to appreciate our place in the universe and our relation to the divine. 
   
   
   
  Omitting Aristotle's digressions and repetitions and overly technical passages, How to Flourish provides connecting commentary that allows listeners to follow the continuous line of his thought. The result is an inviting and lively version of an essential work about how to flourish and lead a good life.

  Still No Word from You - Notes...

  A new collection of pieces on literature and life by the author of Am I Alone Here?, a finalist for the NBCC Award for Criticism 
   
   
    
  From the acclaimed fiction writer about whom Dwight Garner of the New York Times wrote, "You know from the second you pick him up that he's the real deal," comes Still No Word from You, a unique chain of essays and intimate stories that meld the lived life and the reading life. For Orner, there is no separation. Covering such well-known writers as Lorraine Hansberry, Primo Levi, and Marilynne Robinson, as well as other greats like Maeve Brennan and James Alan McPherson, Orner's highly personal take on literature alternates with his own true stories of loss and love, hope and despair. In his mother's copy of A Coney Island of the Mind, he's stopped short by a single word in the margin, "YES!"—which leads him to conjure his mother at twenty-three. He stops reading Penelope Fitzgerald's The Beginning of Spring three quarters of the way through because he knows that finishing the novel will leave him bereft. Orner's solution is to start again from the beginning to slow the inevitable heartache. 
   
   
    
  Still No Word from You is a book for anyone for whom reading is as essential as breathing.
