This insightful book examines the origins, impact, and future of nationalist ideologies, tracing their evolution from the French Revolution to the present day. The author presents a balanced view, acknowledging both the unifying potential of nationalism in nation-building and its divisive role in international conflicts.

    Anna would have become the virtuous lady her parents had intended, but their sudden deaths leaves her orphaned and destitute and she is taken in by her godfather, a strict disciplinarian. 
    While defiant and afraid when first disciplined, Anna soon becomes an aficionado to the art of birching and realizes she is more excited by giving than receiving.

    What if the greatest freedom in life comes not from becoming more… but from becoming less? 
    Less fear. 
    Less attachment. 
    Less need to defend the fragile idea of "me." 
    In No-Self, Full Life, Ho Trung Le invites readers on a profound yet practical journey into one of the oldest and most transformative insights of Eastern wisdom: the understanding of no-self. 
    Blending Buddhist philosophy, modern psychology, personal reflection, and everyday humor, this book explores how the illusion of a fixed self creates suffering—and how letting go of that illusion opens the door to peace, clarity, love, and freedom. 
    This is not a book about disappearing from life. 
    It is about finally living it fully. 
    Inside, you will discover: 
    • Why the "self" feels so real—and why it may be the source of most anxiety 
    • How attachment, fear, anger, and comparison grow from ego-identification 
    • The relationship between no-self, mindfulness, karma, and awakening 
    • How to love deeply without possession 
    • How to succeed without being trapped by success 
    • Why enlightenment is not escape, but intimacy with reality 
    With gentle insight, philosophical depth, and accessible storytelling, No-Self, Full Life offers a way to live with more presence and less suffering—without needing to withdraw from the modern world. 
    Whether you are a spiritual seeker, a philosopher, a meditator, or simply someone tired of carrying the weight of constant mental noise, this book is an invitation: 
    Let go of who you think you are. 
    And discover the freedom of what remains. 
    Because sometimes, the fullest life begins 
    when the self becomes light enough to disappear.

    An active participant in the debates over same-sex marriage for three decades, philosopher John Corvino built strong relationships, and even friendships, with many on the other side. In this urgent and thought-provoking book, Corvino draws lessons from that experience to make the case for how to better engage with those with whom we disagree. Corvino knows from his own lived experience that it is possible to move beyond the polarization and toxicity of the current moment, and The Other Side provides a roadmap of how we might do so.Covering a range of hotly contested topics such as cancel culture, free speech, and civility, The Other Side is an essential guide for how to argue productively with others in the culture wars. Corvino argues that if we want to communicate effectively, we need to pay attention to what people are hearing as much as what you are saying—although he acknowledges that it us much harder to "read the room" in the age of social media, where remarks can go viral and be ripped from context. He also identifies various conversation stoppers that can frustrate productive dialogue.What are the costs of political polarization? When and why should you engage with views you strongly believe to be false? What is the point of civility—and what are its limits? When, if ever, should persons be cancelled? What are the benefits-and dangers-of giving people the benefit of the doubt? With his characteristic combination of common sense, generosity, humor, and wit, Corvino not only brings nuance and insight to these vital questions but provides compelling and constructive answers.
