Beyond Happy


'A brilliant read... a gamechanger' Paul Ross, Talk Sport'Essential reading... Written with clarity, vivacity and depth' Manda ScottA comprehensive guide to cultivating wellbeing, combining cutting edge science and primordial folk wisdom. Beyond Happy explores how evolution has wired us to keep happiness just out of reach, leaving us perpetually stuck on a happiness treadmill. Instead of striving to escape it, the book argues, we should focus on making the treadmill a place we want to be. Finding this wellbeing begins with listening to our emotions, discovering intrinsic motivation and pursuing our authentic values. Fabian coaches you through this process of self-actualisation. Wellbeing, however, is not solely an individual pursuit – it is something we cultivate together. Most profoundly, Beyond Happy shows the way out of nihilism – the pervasive sense that life on the treadmill is purposeless and incoherent. To escape this despair, we must develop a moral compass. To heal the toxicity of our acrimonious politics, we need to rediscover the joy of sharing and celebrating what we love. Delivered with an entertaining mix of academic precision, a podcaster’s knack for storytelling, and the down-to-earth panache Australians are known for, Beyond Happy is a one-stop shop to everything you need to know about the good life.

Civic Self-Respect


In this concise volume, Ralph Nader, our trusted voice on corporate power and civic resistance, goes right to the most basic taproots of an aspiring democracy-its people and their roles in creating and sustaining community. These roles, including citizen, voter, worker, taxpayer, consumer, and parent, contribute to civic self-respect, and one''s own significance in society. As federal judge Learned Hand said in 1944 during a famous brief speech at Central Park, New York City-neither the laws, the courts or other related institutions can be saved without the underlying exercise of the democratic spirit by the people. Civic Self Respect argues the importantace to recognize the centrality in the development of a civic personality, as distinguished from a private personality with the two co-existing for a moral life participating in the common good. As Nader''s mother said when her friends would wonder how she could be raising four children and still have so much time for community engagements: ''What''s the difference?'' One depends on each other the family and the community. This book argues for how important it is for our educational system to teach the essentials of civic responsibility beyond its occupational or technical emphasis, because the emergence of such a public-minded personality is so essential for understanding the world and shaping civil societies.

Dazzling Darkness


A captivating journey through the lives of Christian mystics--from the early Church to the twentieth century.For 2,000 years, women and men of the Christian faith have experienced what some mystics call a ''dazzling darkness'': the spiritual journey to the heart of ultimate reality, or God. These direct communions have ranged from mild illuminations to a union consuming the mystic''s will.This book traces such spiritual figures'' lives, times and teachings, from early Christendom to modern mystics like Simone Weil and Thomas Merton. It explores how the anchoress Julian of Norwich grew up while the Black Death was devastating Europe; how, when the beguine Marguerite Porete lived, the Church was particularly primed to burn ''heretics''; and how Pierre Teilhard de Chardin developed his idea of spiritual evolution with Darwin''s theories in the air.Deeply researched and highly engaging, Dazzling Darkness tells the stories of towering figures like Hildegard of Bingen, Teresa of Ávila and John of the Cross, and highlights many lesser-known mystics, including Mary of Egypt, Seraphim of Sarov and Charles de Foucauld, allowing their voices to sing out to future generations.

Életkorok pszichológiája


A gyermek pszichológiai fejlődése című könyvem 5., bővített és átdolgozott kiadását tartja kezében az olvasó. A hasonló tárgyú könyvek folyamatos frissítésre és átdolgozásra szorulnak, mivel új tudományos eredmények születnek, és - talán soha nem látott gyorsasággal - változnak a körülmények is. Szakemberként és szülőként, nagyszülőként fontosnak éreztem, hogy közreadjam az utolsó kiadás óta elmúlt évtizedben összegyűlt tudásomat és tapasztalataimat. A könyv a magzati kortól a serdülőkorig mutatja be a pszichológiai fejlődés folyamatát, fontosabb állomásait, számba véve a fejlődés környezetét, a külső feltételek alakulásának hatásait. Szó esik a mindent átszövő média befolyásáról, a multikulturalitásról, a növekvő társadalmi egyenlőtlenségek következményeiről. A korábbi kiadásokhoz képest bővült a felnőtt korral foglalkozó fejezet, és hosszabb függelék tárgyalja a nehézségekkel, traumákkal való megküzdés, a normális és a patológiás fejlődés megkülönböztetésének kérdéseit. Választ kerestem elméletinek tűnő, de valójában mindenkit foglalkoztató problémákra is: Meddig tart a gyermekkor, melyek a felnőttség kritériumai? Milyen mértékben tekinthetők univerzálisnak a fejlődés gyermek-, illetve felnőttkori szakaszai? Reményeim szerint könyvem jól felhasználható a pszichológus- és tanárképzésben, de nem szigorúan vett szakszöveg: számot tarthat a gyerekkor és a nevelés iránt érdeklődő laikus közönség figyelmére is.

The God Desire


From the bestselling author of Jews Don’t Count ‘ A hugely heartfelt, funny, kind, fascinating, human and clever book ’ ALAIN DE BOTTON‘ Magnificent. Breathtaking. And shockingly rare … another one-sitting wonder’ STEPHEN FRY David Baddiel would love there to be a God. He has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually was such a thing as a Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isn’t. Or at least, that is Baddiel’s view in this book, which argues that it is indeed the very intensity of his, and everyone else’s, desire for God to exist that proves His non-existence. Anything so deeply wished-for we will, considers Baddiel, make real. The admission of his own divine yearnings makes for a book that is more vulnerable – and more understanding of the value and power of religion – than most atheist polemics. A philosophical essay that utilises Baddiel’s trademarks of comedy, storytelling and personal asides, The God Desire offers a highly readable new perspective on the most ancient of debates.

Vikings in the East


In Western Europe, we typicallyassociate Vikings with the storm-tossed waters of the North Sea and the NorthAtlantic, the deep Scandinavian fjords and the attacks on the monasteries andsettlements of north-western Europe. This popular image rarely includes theriver systems of Russia and Ukraine, the wide sweep of the Eurasian steppe, thefar shores of the Caspian Sea, the incense and rituals of the Eastern OrthodoxChurch and the high walls and towers of the city of Constantinople. Yet formany Viking raiders, traders and settlers, it was the road to the East thatbeckoned. These Viking adventurers foundedthe Norse-Slavic dynasties of the Rus, which are entangled in the bitterlycontested origin myths of Russia and Ukraine. The Rus were the first communityin the region to convert to Christianity - in its Eastern Orthodox form - andso they are at the heart of the concept of 'Holy Russia'. Russian rulers havefrequently referenced these Norse origins when trying to enhance their powerand secure control over the Ukrainian lands, most recently demonstrated byVladimir Putin as his justification for seizing Crimea and invading Ukraine. In this fascinating and timelybook, historian Martyn Whittock explores the important but often misunderstoodand manipulated role played by the Vikings in the origins of Russian power, thedeadly consequences of which we are still living with today.

Nicomachean Ethics


Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is a book of enduring relevance that aims to answer the question of how human beings should live. Much, however, has changed since the time of ancient Greece, and the meanings of words aren’t static. The goal of Christopher Byrne’s new translation is thus to make Aristotle accessible to modern readers who may share in the common humanity of Aristotle’s world but don’t share his vocabulary or his culture. This goal is also served through a brisk introduction, chronologies of Aristotle’s life and of his philosophical impacts, and extensive clarifying footnotes. Also included in this edition are appendices outlining the book’s main argument and the many virtues under discussion, as well as illuminating passages from Plato, Thomas Aquinas, and Aristotle’s other writings.

Kant on Marriage


This Element proposes a new understanding of Kant''s account of marriage by examining the context and background conversations that shaped its development and by discussing the conception of equality at its core. Marriage as Kant understands it relies on a certain form of equality between spouses. Yet this conception of equality does not precede marriage, and carries important limitations ? one of which being its inaccessibility to a significant proportion of the German population at the time. The protections and rights conferred by marriage were thus not accessible to all. Their shared preoccupation with this issue allows the author to put Kant''s thoughts in relation with those of eighteenth-century feminist writers Theodor von Hippel and Marianne Ehrmann. Despite these limitations, the author finds Kant''s conception of marriage is compatible with the achievement of certain egalitarian goals, suggesting that it may be able to improve women''s lives in a liberal state.

Sunday Best


An evocative celebration of the seventh day in all its rich varietyClosed shops and roast dinners. Bulky newspapers and the hum of lawnmowers. Strolls to nowhere in particular and visiting snoozing grandparents. Television theme tunes cueing bath time and a sudden dread of the looming week ahead…Through an assortment of rituals and activities, Sundays came to be the unique day in our week – whether tedious, pleasant or somewhere in-between. But how did they change over time? Has anything interesting ever happened on a Sunday? Have we forgotten how to do Sunday? And, in our rushed modern lives, should we now try to recapture that distinctive, unhurried Sunday fee? ffering answers to those questions and more through a mix of travelogue and social history, Sunday Best entertainingly charts the story of what author Daniel Gray argues is the People’s Day. Told through Sundays whiled away in places from the Hebrides to Hyde Park – via Sunderland, Scarborough, The Peak District and beyond – Gray’s latest book is a charming journey in time and place. Sunday Best offers nostalgia, people’s history and affectionate, absorbing writing – a book drenched in the scent of gravy and summoning the faint sound of church bells.

Should the World Fear China?


For Washington, China is a strategic competitor: the only country with both the will to reshape the world order and, increasingly, the means to do so. For Europe, the People''s Republic is a ''partner for cooperation, an economic competitor and a systemic rival''. For NATO, it is a ''decisive enabler'' of Russia''s war against Ukraine. Yet Beijing''s image is far more positive in the Global South, of which the PRC considers itself a part.Zhou Bo''s essays unpack China''s own view of its role today. The PRC is operating not only in a world becoming less Western, but--more importantly--a West becoming less Western; and the key to its outlook lies in Africa, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific as much as in Europe and the White House.Are Moscow and Beijing really so closely aligned? Where are Sino-Indian relations headed? Is China a new Cold War foe for the West? Or will economic ties inevitably bring the two powers closer together?

Pamäť národa


Pôsobenie Matice slovenskej v histórii a kultúre Slovenska pripomína množstvo doposiaľ vydaných publikácií a tlačovín. Medzi nimi sú aj viaceré obsažné textovo-obrazové monografie. Toto je ďalšia, najobsažnejšia, o ktorej vydaní rozhodli pri príležitosti 160. výročia vzniku Matice slovenskej jej predstavitelia. Rozdiel oproti predchádzajúcim knihám spočíva najmä v tom, že k autorskej spolupráci boli okrem súčasných renomovaných historikov a vedcov prizvaní aj pracovníci široko rozvetvenej matičnej obce. Spolu viac ako päťdesiat autorov sa podieľalo na tvorbe tejto veľkoryso koncipovanej publikácie, aby spoločne ukázali mimoriadne rozpätie matičného pôsobenia na celom území Slovenska aj v zahraničí. Obraz, ktorý spoločne vytvorili, dáva súčasne odpoveď aj na jednu z otázok súčasnosti o zmysle a existencii samotnej inštitúcie. Matica slovenská, ktorá hoci rokmi bezohľadne napádaná, často vo veľmi skromných podmienkach, neustále rozosieva národnú a vlasteneckú kultúru prostredníctvom tisícok obetavých matičiarov a matičiarok na stovkách podujatí, o ktorých mnohí z tých, čo jej predpovedali, či skôr priali zánik, nemajú ani potuchy. Aj o tom je táto publikácia.

The Shang Economy


This Element constitutes a systematic attempt to preliminarily reconstruct the Shang economy based on contemporary archaeological and textual evidence. At the same time, the rapid pace of Chinese archaeological discovery and the increasing deployment of archaeological science means that there is a wealth of new information making a new synthesis both challenging and necessary. This synthesis was written from the perspective that the study of ancient economy necessarily proceeds from the construction of models and the systematic exploration of principal economic components, including their articulation and change over time. Setting the Shang in comparative context with other ancient economies in this series, those principal components are the domestic and institutional economy, specialization, forms of exchange, and diachronic developments. It is hoped that with this organization, comparison with other ancient economies can be more easily made and the significance of the Shang case more clearly seen.
