Throughout history, great thinkers have explored life, leadership, and self-mastery. This collection presents their most influential works, updated for today’s listeners. Whether seeking guidance on resilience, strategy, or ethics, these timeless classics remain relevant.

This classic work on critical thinking uses a novel approach to teach the basics of informal logic. On the assumption that "it takes one to know one," the authors have written the book from the point of view of someone who wishes to deceive, mislead, or manipulate others. Having mastered the art of deception, listeners will then be able to detect the misuse or abuse of logic when they encounter it in others—whether in a heated political debate or while trying to evaluate the claims of a persuasive sales person.

What if nobody has to win the argument about how society should be organized? In the nineteenth century, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon shocked the world by declaring that property is theft—and then, rather cheerfully, proposed that people could get along just fine without governments telling them what to do. He was mocked, attacked, imprisoned, and largely misunderstood. He also happened to be onto something.

Every social thinker in history has started from the same assumption: something is wrong with people. Religion says suppress your desires. The Enlightenment says discipline your mind. Marx says transform your consciousness. Liberalism says compete harder. The prescription changes; the diagnosis never does. The patient is always the problem. Then along came Charles Fourier—a mild-mannered French clerk who, in the early nineteenth century, said something no one had said before and almost no one has said since: there is nothing wrong with humans. The world is badly designed. Redesign the world.

The capacity to question is our greatest and yet least understood human asset. It’s why we’ve lasted as long as we have. In truth, we’d be dead without our ability to question. This is not how we typically think about questions. In fact, we don’t usually think about them at all – which is the problem. While it’s often said we are a storytelling species, the deeper and more enabling truth is that we are a questioning species. Questions give life to our curiosity. They fuel our personal growth. We problem solve and innovate through them.

When I look at our everyday landscape, I see a cadence of shame built into objects we barely notice. The fridge door that hides the cost of living crisis on the empty shelf. The CV that turns a complex life into a pass/fail test. The tent pitched outside a disused shop, that broadcasts...

Qui étaient vraiment les sophistes, ces maîtres de parole capables d'enthousiasmer la jeunesse athénienne et d'inquiéter Socrate, Platon ou Aristote ? Cet ouvrage clair et vivant dévoile l'univers de Protagoras, Gorgias, Hippias et Prodicos : leurs idées, leur influence et les débats décisifs qu'ils ont ouverts sur la vérité, la justice, la démocratie ou le pouvoir du langage. Entre relativisme, scepticisme et invention d'une nouvelle éthique, les sophistes ont posé les bases d'une pensée lucide et pragmatique, dont les échos résonnent encore aujourd'hui.

Вы когда-нибудь уходили с конференции, встречи или вечеринки с ощущением, что все возможности снова прошли мимо? Вы видели, как другие легко знакомятся, находят общий язык, получают предложения, о которых вы даже не знали, — и задавались вопросом: «Что со мной не так?» Возможно, вы интроверт и устаете от общения. Или боитесь показаться навязчивым. Или не знаете, что сказать, как начать разговор и как превратить случайное знакомство во что-то большее.
