Life Lessons from Literature - Joseph Piercy

Life Lessons from Literature is a must for all bibliophiles, providing a concise and highly accessible bucket list of must-read books that teaches us so many fundamental truths and broadens our minds.‘I read a book one day and my whole life was changed’ ... So confesses the narrator of Orhan Pamuk’s novel The New Life. But what can we learn from reading books? Life Lessons from Literature poses this broad question by examining the works of some of the greatest writers in history.In it, we can draw wisdom from Charles Dickens’ views on poverty and wealth; seek comfort from ideas about love from Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. Yet books are about much more than just romance and money. Through careful examination of over one hundred classic works of world literature, life lessons are also drawn from themes such as conflict and oppression, identity and psychology, showing how literature enriches and informs our understanding of ourselves and the wider world around us.From Brazil to Japan, the Americas to Africa; from Victor Hugo to Mark Twain and Chinua Achebe to Haruki Murakami, you will find literature from around the world in this gem of a book, in which the plots may differ but the themes and the lessons they have to teach us are entirely universal.

Life Lessons from 1 Samuel - Max Lucado

It matters how you finish.A good start is crucial, but it''s the end that matters. First Samuel is a book of good starts but bad finishes. Eli was a sterling religious leader, but by the end of his life, the ark of the covenant had been captured and his two rebellious sons killed. Samuel was a prophet of God who anointed kings, but his sons also turned away from the Lord. The most dramatic example is Saul. He seemed to be the perfect choice for Israel''s first king. But success led to disobedience, and he slid from prominence to paranoia to suicide. These stories remind us that when it comes to our faith, we also need to finish well. As the apostle Paul wrote, we must "run in such a way as to get the prize" (1 Corinthians 9:24).The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God''s Word. Each lesson includes an opening reflection, background information, an excerpt of the text (from the New International and New King James versions), exploration questions, inspirational thoughts from Max, and a closing takeaway for further reflection. The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting and for individual study.

365 Lessons from the Stoics - Andrea Kirk Assaf

The teachings of Stoic philosophy began and thrived in the Greek and Roman world until the 3rd century AD, and has since experienced multiple revivals right up to the modern day.With wise lessons in key philosophical subjects, from Acceptance and Change to Virtue and Cooperation with Nature, there is much that we can learn from the writings of the Stoics. And in this book, readers can explore 365 expertly chosen extracts—one for each day of the year—from Stoicism’s most notable names: Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus.Using translations of their original writings and meditations, 365 Lessons from the Stoics provides access to the Stoics’ ancient wisdom in bite-sized chunks. Each quote is matched to a guiding theme, allowing readers to realize the power of the Stoic’s words in relation to self-improvement, learning and understanding in their life.Including an Introduction to the Stoics and Stoicism, readers will gain insight into the lives and era of the Stoics, before delving into the wise words that continue to rise in popularity, proving all the more relevant in today’s increasingly complex world.Each themed, daily entry delivers a reflection or mini-lecture, enabling the reader to either mentally prepare for the day ahead or contemplate the day as it draws to a close.ACCEPT AND COOPERATE WITH NATURE:“…tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can''t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own – not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”

Lessons from Kafka - Petr Koťátko, Tomáš Koblížek

Kniha konfrontuje úvahy o díle Franze Kafky od třinácti autorek a autorů z šesti zemí a tří kontinentů. Kafkovo dílo je zde zkoumáno z perspektivy různých filozofických oborů: ontologie, epistemologie, filozofie jazyka, etiky, politické filozofie, filozofie literatury a estetiky. Formální a metodologická rozmanitost příspěvků je stejně bohatá: zahrnuje detailní interpretace vybraných Kafkových textů, analýzy charakteristických rysů rozpoznatelných napříč Kafkovým dílem, srovnání Kafky s jinými autory, diskuse s vlivnými kafkovskými interprety či úvahy o problému kafkovských adaptací. Texty jsou tematicky rozděleny do tří kapitol: Struktura světa a hranice poznání, Společenská realita a prostor morálního hodnocení a Fikční světy a způsoby vyprávění. Kniha je v angličtině. The book is conceived as an opportunity for thirteen authors from six countries and three continents to confront the lessons they draw from Kafka's work. They approach it from the perspectives of several philosophical disciplines: ontology, epistemology, philosophy of language, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of literature, and aesthetics. The formal and methodological variety of their contributions is equally rich: it includes detailed interpretations of particular texts, analyses of characteristic features recognizable across Kafka's work, confrontations with other writers, disputes with influential Kafka interpreters, reopening the problem of Kafkian adaptations, etc. The articles are thematically divided into three chapters: The structure of the world and the limits of knowledge, Social reality and the space for moral assessment, and Fictional worlds and modes of narration.

Lessons from the Afterlife - Matthew McKay

A guided journey to discover your soul’s answers to life’s great questions. Human life is surrounded by mystery. At the centre of this mystery is the question: Why are we here? is there a purpose to our existence, a reason why we’re experiencing the beauty and pain of physical life? There is also the mystery of the universe itself. What is it and where did it come from? Religious and spiritual traditions have created complex cosmologies to answer these questions, but each tradition has a different answer and we are left with profound uncertainty about deeper reality. As psychologist Matthew McKay reveals, we can each discover our own answers to these questions, our own inner truth, by connecting with the wisdom of our souls. In this guided workbook, McKay offers a step-by-step process to unleash the unconscious and intuitive wisdom held in the awareness of your soul. He explains how to use “deep knowledge meditation” to access all of your soul’s accumulated knowledge, everything you have learned across all of your incarnations. Channeling his late son, Jordan, a discarnate soul who has lived hundreds of lives, McKay shares Jordan’s lessons on the mysteries of human existence, including what the divine or god is, the nature of a soul, the nature of matter and energy, the role of love in our lives, and the origin of the universe. Accompanying these channeled teachings are journal prompts from Jordan, to be used with deep knowledge meditation, to help you listen to your heart and shine a light on your own deepest wisdom and soul knowledge. Guiding you on a journey of self-discovery, this book offers the opportunity to find your soul’s truth about your life’s purpose and the nature of physical reality.

Reincarnation - Life's Gift of Grace - House Gabriele Publishing

A spiritual book on reincarnation. Is there a life after death? Clear and unambiguous answers to an age-old question about eternal life. Where is our homeland? Are we at home in this world? Or are we only passing through? Is it visible matter that carries us – or did we come from somewhere else? Feelings and thoughts, vague inklings, have been raised by humankind since the beginning of time on the “wherefrom” and “whereto,” the “whys” and “what fors.” Seldom have these questions been answered so clearly and unmistakably as by Gabriele, the teaching prophetess and emissary of the eternal kingdom. The knowledge of reincarnation opens our eyes to understanding the meaning of our life, why we are on Earth and what task we have: namely, the chance to use our existence on Earth and develop ourselves back to what we are in our spiritual origin: divine beings, whose life lasts eternally. Reincarnation is a life-changing message, which was also known in Early Christianity before the emerging church of power supplanted it. This book delivers facts on how and why the knowledge about life after death, about karma and reincarnation disappeared from western Christianity. It answers fundamental question of humankind and clarifies many errors and wrong ideas about reincarnation. Samples from the book:"What course would history have taken if a large part of mankind had known that negative deeds could fall back on the perpetrator in this or a future life on earth, if he did not repent in time and ask for forgiveness! Would there have been so many wars ''in the name of God; for instance, or the unscrupulous exploitation of nature, the effects of which we are experiencing today?" "Often we hear: ''Reincarnation? That’s not Christian!'' But what is Christian? Christian is to do what Jesus taught us. And when we do not do what Jesus taught us – think of his Sermon on the Mount or God’s Ten Commandments given through Moses – then this is un-Christian; it is a sin and we burden ourselves. Where does this burdening go? It goes into our soul. ... The particles of a pure spirit body can be compared to shining, spiritual pearls. Through unlawful thinking and acting, the person causes shadows on these pearls in his soul ... Reincarnation excludes the concepts of ''eternal damnation'' as well as a ''punishing God.'' It is a chance for the soul to become free of these shadows ..."

A Sociology of Family Life - Deborah Chambers, Pablo Gracia

Family relations are undergoing dramatic changes globally and locally. At the same time, certain features of family life endure. This popular book, now in a fully updated second edition, presents a comprehensive assessment of recent research on 'family', parenting, childhood and interpersonal ties. A Sociology of Family Life queries assumptions about a disintegration of 'the family' by revealing a remarkable persistence of commitment and reciprocity across cultures, within new as well as traditional family forms. Yet, while new kinds of intimate relationships such as 'friends as family' and LGBTQ+ intimacies become commonplace, such personal relationships can still be difficult to negotiate in the face of wider structural norms. With a focus on factors such as class, gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality, this new edition highlights inequalities that influence and curb families and personal life transnationally. Alongside substantial new material on cultural and digital transformations, the book features extensive updates on issues ranging from demography, migration, ageing and government policies to reproductive technologies, employment and care. With a global focus, and blending theory with real-life examples, this insightful and engaging book will remain indispensable to students across the social sciences.

Lessons from the New Cold War

How the US-China rivalry is reshaping global power, democracy, and the international order. A new Cold War is unfolding—one that will define the future of the international order. In Lessons from the New Cold War, editor Hal Brands assembles an all-star cast of the most influential thinkers in foreign policy, defense strategy, technology, and economics to grapple with the defining geopolitical rivalry of our time: the competition between the United States and China. Over the past decade, Washington has placed its contest with Beijing at the center of its national strategy, forging a rare consensus across the political spectrum. But as this global confrontation intensifies—across supply chains, the Taiwan Strait, and cyberspace—key questions remain. Where is America succeeding? Where is it falling short? And how can it prepare for what lies ahead? Through a sweeping analysis that spans cutting-edge technology, economic decoupling, and military strategy, this book explores the multilayered nature of the conflict. Contributors examine China's assertive economic statecraft and its ambitions for a new global order, the shifting nuclear balance and the intelligence war, the complex web of Indo-Pacific alliances, and the ideological struggle over democracy and authoritarianism. Covering vital topics like semiconductor supremacy, democracy's durability, India's strategic role, and the future of US leadership, this incisive collection offers an unflinching assessment of the new Cold War's stakes—and a roadmap for navigating its challenges. Essential reading for policymakers, scholars, and anyone concerned with the global balance of power, it is a vital guide to a rivalry that is reshaping the twenty-first century.

He describes the disconnect between academic theory and market practice, in particular the reality and persistence of ''skill'' - the continuing ability of the best practitioners to beat the market. But he also underscores the prevalence of uncertainty and human fallibility, showing how a successful investment management business must steer a path which recognises both the persistence of skill and the pitfalls of cognitive bias, human fallibility and hubris.
