Marcus
Aurelius' Stoic tome Meditations, written in Greek while on campaign
between 170 and 180, is still revered as a literary monument to a
philosophy of service and duty, describing how to find and preserve
equanimity in the midst of conflict by following nature as a source
of guidance and inspiration. Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor
from 161 to 180. He ruled with Lucius Verus as co-emperor from 161
until Verus' death in 169. He was the last of the Five Good
Emperors, and is also considered one of the most important Stoic
philosophers.

Acclaimed
as one of the most exciting books in the history of American letters,
this modern epic became an instant bestseller upon publication in 1974,
transforming a generation and continuing to inspire millions. This 25th
Anniversary Quill Edition features a new introduction by the author;
important typographical changes; and a Reader's Guide that includes
discussion topics, an interview with the author, and letters and
documents detailing how this extraordinary book came to be. A narration
of a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his son, the book
becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions
of how to live. The narrator's relationship with his son leads to a
powerful self-reckoning; the craft of motorcycle maintenance leads to an
austerely beautiful process for reconciling science, religion, and
humanism. Resonant with the confusions of existence, Zen and the Art of
Motorcycle Maintenance is a touching and transcendent book of life.

'I
want to wish all of you joy-because there is no better gift. Two
spiritual masters, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, share
their wisdom in this uplifting book. I promise you, it's the best $26
you can spend.' Oprah Winfrey Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness
the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty
years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite
their hardships - or, as they would say, because of them - they are two
of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu
travelled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate
His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create this book as a gift for
others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning
question: how do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering?
They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared
their spiritual practices.

In
1845, Thoreau moved to a cabin that he built with his own hands along
the shores of Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Shedding the trivial ties
that he felt bound much of humanity, Thoreau reaped from the land both
physically and mentally, and pursued truth in the quiet of nature. In
Walden, he explains how separating oneself from the world of men can
truly awaken the sleeping self. Thoreau holds fast to the notion that
you have not truly existed until you adopt such a lifestyle—and only
then can you reenter society, as an enlightened being.

So
you know your sun sign, rising sign, and moon sign…but what about the
rest of your birth chart? It’s no longer enough to just to know you’re a
Scorpio or read your horoscope. After all, delving deeper into our natal
charts and the nuances of the astrological world can offer us a rich,
exciting tapestry of our innate preferences, relationships, choices, and
destiny.
For those in the know, the zodiac calendar is divided into twelve
houses, each ruled by a different sign (Aquarius, Scorpio, Gemini, etc.)
and said to govern a particular set of traits. When we’re born, where
the planets were stationed relative to those houses inform our natural
tendencies. Understanding each house can bring detailed insights about
every aspect of your life: peoples’ first impression of you, to your
values, communication, pleasure, home and family, partnership, and
beyond. |
Regarded
as the world's oldest military treatise, this compact hardcover volume
has instructed officers and tacticians for more than 2,000 years. From
its origins in China, The Art of War traveled the world to inform the
strategies of Napoleon and World War II generals. More recently, it has
taken on a new life as a guide to competing successfully in business,
law, politics, and sports.
All of The Art of War's concepts retain their value to modern readers,
from the prudence of circumventing a strong opponent and taking
advantage of a weak one to the wisdom of preparedness and flexibility.
Other topics include strategy, tactics, maneuvering, communications, the
treatment of soldiers, and the worth of well-trained officers.
