Showing results for "Me" in Philosophy

When Jon Katz got a call from an animal control officer about Simon, a neglected donkey who had been found on a failing farm in upstate New York, he wasn't expecting to add another animal to his already full life. But when he made the trek out to meet him, he couldn't help falling in love with the skinny, mangy donkey who had already suffered so much, and he ended up taking him into his home. It was Simon who listened in the fields as Jon read to him and discussed philosophy.

In Imperial’s book, the radical possibilities of Nietzsche’s concept of strength are explored through the lives and works of three historical exemplars: the aesthetic militant Yukio Mishima, the revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, and the Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl.

Meditation is at the heart of Robert's route to awakening and here he reveals how we can welcome practice into our daily lives to nurture a quiet mind and content heart.

Bring Me the Rhinoceros is an unusual guide to happiness and a can opener for your thinking. For fifteen hundred years, Zen koans have been passed down through generations of masters, usually in private encounters between teacher and student.

John Tarrant brings the heart of the koan tradition out into the open, reminding us that the old wisdom remains as vital as ever.

Susan Shumsky is a successful author in the new age/spirituality field, writing books on meditation, intuition, prayer, auras, chakras, and the like. But in the 1970s, she was one of only a handful of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s personal attendants and administrators, in India, Switzerland, and elsewhere. Following the teachings of Maharishi displaced Susan’s devotion to the hippie lifestyle, as she learned about meditation and grew spiritually self-aware. Maharishi founded the spiritual movement TM (Transcendental Meditation).

The secret to success has been around since our ancestors crawled out of their cave, and went looking for a Mastodon for lunch. It’s a positive attitude. But even those with that attitude need a boost now and then, and here’s an hour of great ideas to listen to on that commute, so you will hit the ground running. A story masterfully told by that voice from “Down Under”, Denis Daly.

The Travelling Ape is an award-winning book that explores what travelling the world taught him about life, humanity, and the geopolitical turmoil that so defines us. And how exploring the world changed him as a person, too. A journey infused with sharp insights and equally entertaining anecdotes of personal humiliation from when travel goes wrong.

È PROPRIO VERO CHE SE AMIAMO IL NOSTRO LAVORO NON LAVOREREMO MAI UN GIORNO NELLA NOSTRA VITA O SIAMO SOTTO L’EFFETTO DI UN INCANTESIMO? “Oggi sembra impossibile fare del lavoro – che è diventato una vera e propria tortura di massa – uno strumento di educazione al vivere comune. Eppure è una delle poche strade rimaste per non autodistruggerci in una manciata di anni. Ma per dare nuova dignità al lavoro, bisogna cominciare con il metterlo seriamente in discussione.” Efficienti, dinamici, creativi. Ma anche: sovraccarichi, avviliti, depressi.

Talk HER To Me is a conversation with your truest self — the one you usually silence to keep the peace. Hosted by Meka (IG: @freebirdinmeek), this podcast explores the real work of becoming: love and loss, relationships and repair, healing, communication, and self-evolution.

What life do you want to live? What country do you want to live in? On the left hand, you have nothing; someone makes all the decisions regarding your life. On the right hand, you have everything, including your life and choice. That freedom of choice brings responsibility, wherein you have to put effort into your life and your freedom. That brings us to honesty, truth, compassion, love, and responsibility--those together make a fist to include penalty. Why is it those six words are not included in our US Constitution?

The Church of Me is a reflective podcast about responsibility, identity, and the narratives we build around ourselves. It is not spiritual, therapeutic, or transcendent. Each episode examines the individual as their own authority—the values they defend, the myths they adopt, and the contradictions they tolerate. The “church” is a metaphor for the private system of meaning each person builds. No doctrine. No comfort. Only reflection, tension, and unresolved questions for listeners interested in philosophy, culture, and personal responsibility. By Marcus T. Loxley Available as ebook on ...

Nearly everyone who cares about dogs or cats knows that they have a sense of self that renders them unique. Yet traditional science and philosophy declare such feelings irrational and anthropomorphic. Animals, they say, have only the crudest form of thought and no sense of self at all. Leslie Irvine's If You Tame Me challenges these entrenched views by demonstrating that our experience of animals and their behavior tell a different story.

Why are we cruel? Why are we kind? Charles Darwin, the father of modern biology, wrestled with these very questions in order to explain the human race, struggling to fit a loving God into a harsh and challenging universe. Animal behavior scientist and evolutionary biologist Jacob Johnson’s entertaining new take on Darwin’s work explores his crisis of faith, the origin of morality and the evolution of “good” and “evil.”

It is not often that something so simple as one plus one equals three comes along to change your life. Of course, the equation itself is powerless, so this audiobook sets out to explore the increase in human potential. This can occur when the idea of interdependence, being the backbone of this formula, is allowed to freely intermingle with all aspects of life.
