How to Live Like a Stoic
'The inestimable Tom Hodgkinson once again contributes to our collective calm with this perfectly judged collection of philosophy.' Emma Thompson 'A great guide to philosophy and big ideas... it made me laugh out loud. It’s such a cheerful book, I read it in one go (well... two) and emerged refreshed and nourished.' Dominic West'He knows that play is one of the best teachers, and this treatise on Stoicism is illuminating, engaging, informative and highly accessible' Irvine WelshThere’s more to Stoicism than shrugging your shoulders and getting on with it, as Tom Hodgkinson discovers in this witty and enlightening book. Stoicism is an enduring and ancient philosophy that can help you with everything from love and politics to money and spirituality. The Stoics were celebrated by the Romans, they influenced Christianity and even Shakespeare admired them. Today, both therapists and politicians will profess adherence to the Stoic creed. The “serenity prayer” is a Stoic statement. The Beatles’ “Let it Be” is a Stoic song. Tom Hodgkinson, author of bestselling How to Be Idle, goes back to the original philosophical texts and looks at the greatest Stoics in history – including Seneca, Cicero, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and St Augustine – to see if they can help us find fulfilment. He discovers that Stoicism is much stranger and more radical than you’d think. With witty reflections on everything from ethics, grammar, rhetoric, education, friendship and the importance of occasionally letting your hair down, Tom Hodgkinson shares his genuinely funny and brilliant guide to the Stoic life.
Quantum Aikido
How modern physics confirms the energetic power Aikido• Draws on quantum mechanics and physics, like wave–particle duality and the unified field theory, to define the energetics of Aikido• Explores concepts of Aikido such as musubi (to tie together), connection, and reconciliation to re-link the individual with the universal• Provides lessons for everyday life to enhance personal and professional relationships and diffuse threatening situationsAikido is a martial art that offers a philosophy of harmonizing energy. The techniques of Aikido focus on aligning oneself with the world in total harmony and this begins by winning over the discord in our own minds.Richard applies the insights of quantum mechanics to explore key concepts of Aikido such as musubi (to tie together), connection, unification, and reconciliation to re-link the individual with the universal. As quantum physics and Aikido reveal, the dualism of two conflicting opposites is an illusion. It is the unified field of the two that creates life and from which reality emanates. The essential teaching of Quantum Aikido is to live as an expression of the single source of yin and yang rather than in polarity, or bouncing between the two. Embodying this teaching transforms one’s experience of life from being a struggle to a dance. These lessons can be applied in everyday life to enhance personal and professional relationships and diffuse threatening situations. The author’s creative, flow-oriented approach shows how to negotiate challenges by absorbing and using the energy of any given situation to create innovative solutions. This state of being exercises whole-brain thinking and self-reflexivity to help readers develop the measured temperament of a warrior. Readers will learn how to tap energetic sources so that each moment is an opportunity to resolve problems with spontaneous creativity.Learn to become spontaneous and free with the energetics of Quantum Aikido. By offering ways to unify our being and live in acceptance and harmony, this book opens doorways to transformation and positive change.

The Primordial Tradition of Ancient China
The first English translation of Taoist occultist Matgioi’s seminal work• Shares a deep understanding of the I Ching’s cosmological foundation• Offers the meanings of the straight and broken lines of the 64 hexagrams• Explains how the symbol of the yin-yang represents the individual’s destiny, including his emanation from, and reintegration into, PerfectionFirst published in French in 1905, and now translated into English for the first time, Matgioi’s book became the metaphysical core of the Traditionalist movement established by French occultist René Guénon, Julius Evola, and Ananda Coomaraswamy. Translator Joscelyn Godwin tells how Matgioi was initiated into a Taoist secret society and was given rare access to the perennial wisdom of that tradition. His work reveals the great antiquity of Emperor Fohi, who set down the cosmogonic principles upon which the I Ching is based and lived more than 2,000 years before Moses. Matgioi regarded Fohi as representing a school of sages unbound to any century since their wisdom is as old as humanity itself. The I Ching crystallizes a first and truest insight into the nature of reality from which the ancients derived a practical philosophy. Chinese traditionalists regard the I Ching as the first monument of consciousnes, and Matgioi explores it and equally important treatises by Fohi’s successors. In this book, readers will discover the divine nature of Chinese script, the relationship of logos and symbol, and the multiple shapes of the universe. Matgioi also explains how the yin-yang symbolizes one’s destiny and emanation from, and reintegration into, Perfection. This key work echoes Emperor Fohi’s belief that the solutions to all questions can be found by bringing them back to their sources.

To Lose a War
Jon Lee Anderson first reported from Afghanistan in the late 1980s, covering the US-backed mujahideen’s insurrection against the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul. Within days of the 9/11 attacks, he was again on the ground as an early eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. At the time, the American military had prevailed on the battlefield, and the newfound peace seemed to offer a precious space for Afghan society to restore itself and to forge a democratic future. But all was not well: Osama bin Laden was still in hiding, the Taliban were stealthily reorganizing for a comeback, and the United States was about to turn its attention to Iraq. To Lose a War collects Anderson’s writing from Afghanistan over a near-quarter-century span, offering a chronological account of a monumental tragedy as it unfolds. The colossal waste, missed signals, and wishful thinking that characterized the twenty-year arc of the US-led war in Afghanistan have consecrated it as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era, and a bellwether of a larger American imperial decline.

Crossing the Line
THIS UPDATED NEW EDITION REVEALS THE EXPLOSIVE INSIDE STORY BEHIND THE BEN ROBERTS-SMITH HEADLINES AND THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ATTACKS ON AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST NICK McKENZIE. 'There is no doubt the truth would have been concealed and our concerns buried without Nick McKenzie's relentless pursuit of justice.' SAS Afghanistan veteranWar is brutal. But there are lines that should never be crossed. In mid-2017, whispers of executions and cover-ups within Australia's most secretive and elite military unit, the SAS, reached Walkley Award-winning journalist Nick McKenzie. He and Chris Masters began an investigation that would not only reveal shocking truths about Ben Roberts-Smith VC but plunge the reporters into the defamation trial of the century. For five years, McKenzie led the investigation, waging an epic battle for the truth to be acknowledged. His fight to reveal the real face of Australia's most famous and revered SAS soldier and examine evidence of bullying, intimidation, war crimes and murder would take him across Australia and to Afghanistan. As he unearthed the secrets Ben Roberts-Smith had thought he'd long ago buried, McKenzie had to deal with death threats, powerful forces intent on destroying his career and attempts to silence brave SAS soldiers, who had witnessed their famous comrade commit unspeakable acts. And even after the trial judgement, headlines attacking McKenzie continued. However, the Federal Court of Appeal upheld the original judgment, finding again that Fairfax Media had proven the substantial truth of serious allegations against Ben Roberts-Smith - and believing eyewitness accounts from fellow Australian soldiers. This latest chapter is a defining moment for Australian journalism, press freedom and accountability within the military. Nick McKenzie broke the stories that proved the man at one time idolised by the public, politicians, the media and leading business leaders was indeed a myth. His efforts will help deliver justice to Roberts-Smith's victims and their families. Explosive and meticulously researched, Crossing the Line shares the powerful untold story of how a small group of brave soldiers and two determined reporters overcame a plot to suppress one of the greatest military scandals in Australian history. 'Extraordinary . . . Riveting . . . An insight into the finest investigative journalism in this country' Law Institute Journal'The definitive account of the fall of Ben Roberts-Smith and a vital reminder of the power of journalism. It is a tour de force.' Ben Doherty, The Guardian
