Throughout history, and in numerous forward-thinking communities around the world today, great minds and pioneering spirits have sought and often succeeded at alternative ways of living. Some of these experiments burned brightly and briefly; others are living proof of what is possible. One of those startlingly rare books that upends our assumptions and raises our sights, Everyday Utopia gathers inspiring examples into a radically hopeful vision of how to build more contented and connected societies, as well as a practical guide to what we all can do to live the good life every day.

One of our greatest philosophers and scientists of the mind asks where the self comes from - and how our selves can exist in the minds of others. I Am a Strange Loop argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the "strange loop" - a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains. The most central and complex symbol in your brain is the one called "I". The "I" is the nexus in our brain, one of many symbols seeming to have free will and to have gained the paradoxical ability to push particles around, rather than the reverse.

Einstein said that repeating the same action over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. In John Fast's world, the two things which stand as shining examples of insanity are addiction and war. After spending years in warzones and after over thirty years as a recovering alcoholic, John has come to see the similarities between the stories told by our political leaders as they rationalise and justify their endless wars, and the stories told by chronic drunks all over the world as they rationalise and justify the insanity which is prevalent in their lives.

What to Expect When You're Dead chronicles the ways ancient peoples answered questions such as: How to achieve a good death and afterlife? What's the best way to dispose of a body? Do the dead face a postmortem judgement—and where do they end up? Do the dead have bodies in the afterlife—and can they eat, drink, and have sex? And what can the living do to stay on good terms with the nonliving?

"Everything is sad," wrote the Ancient poets. But is this sadness merely a human experience, projected onto the world, or is there a gloom attributable to the world itself? Could the universe be forever weeping the "tears of things"? In this series of meditations, Dominic Pettman and Eugene Thacker explore some of the key "negative affects"—both eternal and emergent—associated with climate change, environmental destruction, and cosmic solitude. In so doing they unearth something so obvious that it has gone largely unnoticed: the question of how we should feel about climate change.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 - 1527) gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Staatsphilosophen der Neuzeit. Sein Standardwerk "Der Fürst" ist noch immer Pflichtlektüre für Manager und BWL-Studenten. Sein zweites Hauptwerk, die "Discorsi", befasst sich mit dem idealen Staat - und wie er zu bewahren sei. Er bedient sich dabei der römischen Geschichte und zeigt viele Beispiele, wie das zu Machiavellis Zeit darniederliegende Italien zu neuem Ruhm gelangen könne. "Mensch und Staat" ist die ideale Ergänzung zum "Fürsten" - genau so klar in der Argumentation, genau so zeitlos in den Schlussfolgerungen.

Wherever there’s a rule, there is someone with the power to apply or ignore it—or add to it, in the interest of justice. From enforcing chores to issuing life sentences, decision-makers deliver flawed and sometimes arbitrary outcomes. But is their use of discretion good or bad overall? As a society, should we seek to minimize or maximize discretion, with all its potential for bias and other kinds of human error? Reframing our understanding of justice and ethics, philosopher Barry Lam argues that while use of discretion can never be perfect, removing it has even more problematic effects.

Sucesso no Brasil, com mais de 100 mil exemplares vendidos, Ryan Holiday traz em seu novo livro um verdadeiro tratado sobre a coragem, uma virtude celebrada ao longo dos séculos, mas que parece estar em perigo de extinção. Nada é possível sem ela. Nada que valha a pena se alcança sendo covarde. Então por que a bravura é tão escassa?

È tutto vero. È tutto rimasto finora nell’ombra. 1992: la mafia attacca il cuore dello Stato. 2022: trent’anni dopo, una ricostruzione inedita su quelle terribili stragi. Perché quella che fu una vera e propria guerra allo Stato è stata ideata con il contributo di una mafia segreta e intoccabile. Non solo: la strategia stragista di Cosa nostra servì al giovane boss Matteo Messina Denaro per attuare un ricambio generazionale e prendere il comando dell’organizzazione, facendo compiere un salto di qualità alla mafia e trasformandola in maniera profonda, con conseguenze che riusciamo a capire solo oggi.

Harris guides listeners away from a life of ceaseless pings toward a state of measured connectivity, one that balances solitude and companionship.
