Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Eros is the God of love's explanation of the nature of love through a variety of characters including Ann Miller, Henry Phillips and Betsy Worthington. It describes how certain character types and different personalities experience love, why they love the way they do and why some achieve love and others do not. The six character types described include philosopher Soren Kierkegaard's unauthentic and authentic people and Martin Heidegger's anonymous one. The book explains why each experiences one of the five levels of love, or infatuation, desire, love, true love and genuine love, and the myriad of obstacles they face including circumstances, politics, feminism and sex. For many love never runs smoothly due to their class, liberal caused civil strife, feminist elimination of gender and unrealistic sexual expectations. Specifically, love does not flourish in societies with rigid class castes; liberal politics that promote the relativistic assassin's creed and socialism; feminist philosophy that weakens the male/female bond, marriage and families; or are preoccupied with sex and its occasional morally decadent consequences. Indeed, this book describes how love fails more often that it succeeds through jealousy, envy, lust, disloyalty, infidelity, circumstances and character.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - God is pissed. In the beginning God created heaven, earth and all the animals. They were part of a grand and perfect design. It worked well and God was pleased. Then one of the animals, humans, started altering the design and irritating God. God gave humans, unlike the other animals, a little cleverness which allowed them to alter his design. Using this cleverness humans conceived, created and implemented incredible unnatural and convoluted ideas, constructs and systems. These entities are upsetting God's patterns of nature. Humans are now doing things God never intended. This not only made God's design go haywire but also now threatens humans themselves. God is in high dudgeon because human's imagination is debauching his perfect world. To make matters worse humans audaciously blame God for their world gone crazy. God has patiently endured their accusations but now intends to set them straight on the true nature of things and explain how it is they who have screwed things up. This is God's discourse on humans and if they have any inkling of what is good for them they will listen. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - My life was a nightmare. I felt like a prisoner trapped in my cube at work by an invisible web of obligations driven by an insatiable competitive environment. I was a rat-in-a-amaze-cog-in-a machine animal-robot without freedom. My job defined my life and I was not happy. I was burdened with obligations, hounded to produce and fired if I failed. I was angry, tired, resentful, fearful and burned-out. My troubled psyche was only mollified with fantasies-I was always wondering why there could not be a better life like living a simple life in Tahiti happy and carefree. This book is about my escape from that hell. It is a true story about leaving my possessions, job and life behind and finding happiness in Greece during the summer of 1992. It is written for all American workers who feel the same way I did. We live in a capitalistic culture that overemphasizes money, productivity and success-a toxic formula for worker unhappiness. I believe my journey to happiness-this story-can happen to anyone who wants to be happy.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Reader's Companion III, 3,500 words and phrases avid readers should know is the third in a trilogy of books on words. Some of the words are included in this edition because they are similar like immanent, which means existing within or inherent in something, eminent which means of superior position and imminent which means about to happen. A phoneme is the smallest speech sound that distinguishes one word from another that carries the words meaning, so there are subtle phonemes that distinguish immanent, eminent and imminent. Most think a sieve is a utensil but in reality it is any device used for separating wanted and unwanted material. Contrasting words in this edition include pecunious, which means having money and impecunious which means having no money. An astronaut is one trained to travel and perform tasks in space is contrasted with intranaut who is an individual who explores their own mind in search of meaning. Pertinacity, which means to be resolute in purpose is contrasted with impertinent which means to be brash. Some root word derivations are included like illicit, which means illegal and licit which means legal. Finally, some words describe different relations. In marriage most know monogamy means being married to only one person at a time and perhaps polygamy which means having more than one spouse at the same time. But there is also polyandry or having more than one husband at the same time, exogamy which is the custom of marrying outside one's social group and endogamy which is the custom of marrying a member of one's social group. This is a good book for avid readers who want to improve their vocabulary. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many philosophers believe people were made to be happy. Epictetus wrote that people should be happy because God made them that way--their lives should be free from hindrance and restraint. John Locke believed that happiness is the unavoidable concomitant of consciousness. However, philosophers also believed that happiness requires knowledge and effort. Coleridge wrote that people are what they know, which for the philosopher is people's source of happiness. It is the knowledge humans have that forms the attitudes they hold that are the foundations of happiness. For the philosophers, happiness also requires effort--people were made for it but not with it. Cicero in his Tusculan Disputations wrote that the happy life rests upon humans alone--people are responsible for their own happiness, Shakespeare wrote that there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so, Boethius wrote nothing is miserable unless people think it so and Seneca wrote the world is as one make it. Happiness then is an art that must be learned and practiced to be achieved. Philosophy and Happiness presents the knowledge the philosophers say brings happiness.Some book themes include fate and happiness (no man is happy until he is dead, until then only lucky), effort and happiness (the world is as one makes it, so fashion good judgments and make it a place that brings joy), purpose and happiness (be a ship with a rudder), appreciation and happiness (everyone can choose whether to view the glass half empty or half full--appreciate any volume) and fortune and happiness (have proper judgments of externals and do not invest in the wheel of fortune).…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | If you think about it, being alive is stranger than being dead. Our eternal sleep is far longer than our brief time awake. This book explores the nature of "eternal sleep" using ancient mythological Gods like Thanatos, Athena, and Asclepius, as well as the Grimm Reaper, through the life and death of one Lithuanian, Oscar Uzgalis. The central question is why is death humans' greatest fear? Only humans are aware they die and become nothing, which knowledge terrorizes many of them. Most of the Gods believe humans should accept their inevitable deaths because they have no choice. Also, accepting their death is a prerequisite to their living a meaningful life. This book describes ways humans die from God (pneumonia), nature (immolation), humans (guillotined), animals (mauled), and themselves (suicide). Some topics include whether death is a blessing or curse, what others think about our death, strategies humans use to avoid the fear of death and why they fail, and near-death experiences. It also explores why we should not fear death, be satisfied with our allotted time, die in our own era, and have gratitude for life and death. The final chapter describes what happens to our corpse.…
