Summary

'Old World Wisdom' presents a compelling exploration of how ancient philosophical teachings can provide practical solutions for modern life challenges. The book uniquely bridges classical wisdom from Confucian, Greek, and Roman traditions with contemporary research in psychology and social science, demonstrating the timeless relevance of these teachings for personal growth and social harmony.Through a systematic analysis divided into three main sections, the book first delves into personal ethics and character development, examining Confucian concepts like benevolence and righteousness alongside modern psychological insights. The narrative then expands to explore interpersonal relationships, skillfully comparing Aristotelian and Confucian perspectives on friendship and community. This comparative approach reveals universal principles that readers can apply to strengthen their relationships and navigate social dynamics more effectively.The final section masterfully connects individual ethical development to broader societal harmony, supported by case studies of successful implementation in business, education, and community organizations. Each chapter includes practical exercises and reflection questions, making complex philosophical concepts accessible to general readers while maintaining scholarly integrity. The book's integrated approach, combining ancient wisdom with modern research and real-world applications, offers professionals, leaders, and individuals seeking personal growth a comprehensive framework for developing both character and community connections.

    Same River Twice - Putin's War...

    Blending the call to action of We Should All Be Feminists with the journalistic rigor of Masha Gessen, “an exquisite feminist critique of Russia’s oppressive tactics"" (Kirkus Reviews) revealing how modern Russia’s history of weaponizing sexual violence plays a crucial role in its current geopolitical strategy  
    “It’s one of those books that can truly change a reader's life. . . . A powerful, unforgettable read.” —Andrey Kurkov, award-winning author of Grey Bees and The Silver Bone 
    “Thoughtful, instructive and deeply harrowing.” —Luke Harding, The Guardian 
     
    On March 22, 2023, the Swedish Academy organized a conference on threats to democracy and freedom of expression featuring a slate of distinguished speakers including Arundhati Roy, Timothy Snyder, and Sofi Oksanen. Oksanen’s address—entitled “Putin's War on Women”— would go on to spark such interest that the acclaimed Finnish writer felt compelled to return to it as the basis for a larger, more in-depth look at Putin’s threat to women. The result is Same River, Twice, a devastating book-length essay that incisively builds on the themes and arguments first presented in her powerful speech. 
    During the Soviet occupation of Estonia, Oksanen's great-aunt was arrested and brutally interrogated overnight. Left permanently traumatized by the experience, she would never speak again. Using her family story as a starting point, Oksanen launches an investigation into the systematic crimes that the Russian government has, for nearly a century, committed with impunity. From the Russian military's entry into Berlin in 1945 to its modern invasion of Ukraine, Russia has continually employed violence against women when combatting its enemies. Life for women in Putin's Russia is little better; gender equality is in decline, women are silenced by the legal system, and rape is used to humiliate victims, especially women in media. 
    Through Oksanen's sober analysis a disturbing picture emerges: under Putin, misogyny has become foundational to the state’s power. It underpins the current regime, serves as a means of weaving international alliances, and forms an essential part of Russia’s ongoing genocide in Ukraine, in turn posing a threat to the rights of women and minorities worldwide. As threats to democracy grow stronger across the globe, the powerful and timely Same River, Twice is a warning that cannot not be ignored.

    Do the Birds Still Sing in Hell?

    Even in the most horrifying places on earth, hope still lingers in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to take flight. 
     
     
     
    When war was declared Horace Greasley was just twenty-years old. After seven weeks' training with the 2/5th Battalion, the Royal Leicestershire Regiment, Horace found himself facing the might of the German Army in a muddy field south of Cherbourg, in northern France, with just thirty rounds in his ammunition pouch. 
     
     
     
    Horace's war didn't last long . . . On May 25, 1940 he was taken prisoner and so began the harrowing journey to a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland. Those who survived the grueling ten-week march to the camp were left broken and exhausted, all chance of escape seemingly extinguished. 
     
     
     
    But when Horace met Rosa, the daughter of one of his captors, his story changed; fate, it seemed, had thrown him a lifeline. Horace risked everything in order to steal out of the camp to see his love, bringing back supplies for his fellow prisoners. In doing so he offered hope to his comrades, and defiance to one of the most brutal regimes in history.

    Consuming Religion

    What are you drawn to like, to watch, or even to binge? What are you free to consume, and what do you become through consumption? These questions of desire and value, Kathryn Lofton argues, are questions for the study of religion. In eleven essays exploring soap and office cubicles, Britney Spears and the Kardashians, corporate culture and Goldman Sachs, Lofton shows the conceptual levers of religion in thinking about social modes of encounter, use, and longing. Wherever we see people articulate their dreams of and for the world, wherever we see those dreams organized into protocols, images, manuals, and contracts, we glimpse what the word “religion” allows us to describe and understand.
     
    With great style and analytical acumen, Lofton offers the ultimate guide to religion and consumption in our capitalizing times.
