Le découragement est le problème majeur de notre temps. Là où nous pourrions avancer, nous baissons les bras. Là où nous pourrions être victorieux, nous partons perdants. On nous a fait croire que nous devions être dans le contrôle permanent, dans l'efficacité absolue. Mais la vie ne se contrôle pas, elle ne se gère pas.

في هذا الكتاب، يحاول الفيلسوف وعالم الاجتماع الفرنسي «فريدريك لونوار»، تفسير شعور الفرح، ويتحدث عن مسارين مهمين لبلوغه: طريق نقطعه نحو ذاتنا، وطريق نتجه فيه ناحية الآخرين. وأن علينا تهيئة أنفسنا لتلقي الفرح بالانتباه والحضور، وبالثقة والعطاء والتواصل مع العالم بطريقةٍ صحيحة. لكن متى وكيف يأتي الفرح وما منابعه؟

There are people who, for thousands of years, have been setting new standards, defining our direction, breaking boundaries that were once thought to be unbreakable. They create new opportunities based upon a unique vision that, at the time, no one was able to see or replicate. They cross uncharted frontiers that were previously thought uncrossable. They continue to define our very way of life, introducing new concepts that interrupt and improve the normal flow of life forever. They are bold, uninhibited, unapologetic, and they continue to create the impossible.

Nous ne disposons que de 4 000 semaines sur Terre, en moyenne. Alors pourquoi gaspillons-nous une si grande partie de ce temps avec des tâches qui ne nous procurent pas de joie ? Il faut se rendre à l'évidence : la durée de vie moyenne de l'être humain est scandaleusement courte. Ceux d'entre nous qui atteignent l'âge de 80 ans n'auront vécu qu'un peu plus de 4 000 semaines. Comment est-il possible de faire des projets ambitieux dans un laps de temps aussi court ?

What is the soul?

Our ability to find meaning in things is one of the most important aspects of human life. But it is also one of the most mysterious. Where does meaning come from? What sorts of things have meaning? And how do we grasp the meaning others want to convey? Meaning: A Very Short Introduction is shaped by exploring possible answers to these questions.

"Que otros se jacten de las páginas que han escrito; a mí me enorgullecen las que he leído", decía Borges. Y es que los buenos libros nos transforman; un pasaje, por breve que sea, puede despertar la curiosidad del lector y animarlo a leer una obra que cambie su vida para siempre. He ahí el poder de la literatura, que no sólo nos abre horizontes, sino que deposita en nosotros, de manera lenta pero constante, la clave para entender la vida.

Life is philosophical in nature. It starts by looking at truth, and telling the listener how to judge if something is true or not. We each define our own truth. The trouble is, truth changes. What the world considers true today may be false tomorrow. It sets the stage for the discussion of ideas only marginally accepted as true. This is for everyone over twelve years of age.

Questo non è un libro di morale, né un grido di dolore o, tanto meno, una lamentazione acritica e dozzinale su come va il mondo. Si tratta, molto più semplicemente, di una sorta di testamento spirituale di un uomo che, giunto alle soglie dei sessant'anni, e con la viva speranza di vivere ancora molto a lungo, fa un bilancio non tanto della propriai vita, quanto della vita in générale, cercando di inserirvi tutto quanto in essa ha appreso. Cioè poche cose.

Food for Freedom: Reclaiming Our Health and Rescuing Our World is an exploration into the underlying cultural food narratives in our society, and how they have eroded our freedom, health, spirituality, and awareness. The basic idea is that we have all been wounded from infancy onward, compelled to participate in our culture’s defining social ritual—our meals. With insufficient awareness of the consequences of our routine mistreatment of animals for food, we are causing an ongoing cascade of events and conditions that are harmful to us on every level.

Sanuk is a Thai concept that can loosely be translated as meaning ‘fun’. Though sanuk is in fact much more than that; it’s about achieving pleasure and joy in all aspects of life. For Thai people, if it’s not sanuk, it’s not worth doing. Thai people believe that it’s the little things that add up to a joyful life. Whether it’s raising happy kids, enjoying a quick chat with your neighbour or having a laugh with friends, they try to bring a sense of joy into their daily routines. This easygoing, fun-loving way of life is why Thailand is often called The Land of Smiles.

In this short work, Allen explores the way in which our minds create and interact with our circumstances, travelling from the inner world of thoughts to the final conquest of the spirit. On the way he explores the way in which we create our own futures through the habits we choose, how bodily conditions are no excuse for spiritual weakness, and how true poverty is of the mind, not the circumstances.

О содержании этой книги с уверенностью можно сказать одно: Заратустра ничего подобного не говорил. Но наверняка не раз обо всем этом задумывался. Потому что вопросы все больше простые и очевидные. Захватывающие погони ума за ускользающей мыслью, насильственное использование букв кириллического алфавита, жестокая трансформация смыслов, гроб на колесиках сансары, кровавые следы полуночных озарений, ослепительное сияние человеческой глупости - все вот это вот, непостижимое и неопределенное. Собственно, Макс Фрай всего этого тоже не говорил.
