Meditations for Mortals takes us on a liberating journey towards a more meaningful life - one that begins not with fantasies of the ideal existence, but with the reality in which we actually find ourselves.Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, it offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls 'imperfectionism'. How can we embrace our non-negotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there's always too much to do? What if purposeful productivity were often about letting things happen, not making them happen?Reflecting on ideas drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help, Burkeman explores practical tools and shifts in perspective. The result is a bracing challenge to much familiar advice, and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully.To be read either as a four-week 'retreat of the mind' or devoured in one or two sittings, Meditations for Mortals will be a source of solace and inspiration, and an aid to a saner, freer, and more enchantment-filled life. In anxiety-inducing times, it is rich in truths we have never needed more.

Una de las novelas románticas más virales de Lucy Score, la autora favorita de muchas lectoras de BookTok. Un romance lleno de pasión y ambientado en una oficina. Un héroe gruñón decidido a salirse con la suya y una heroína osada que empieza a preguntarse si bajo los increíbles chalecos de su jefe se oculta un corazón de oro. Dominic: La despidieron por mi culpa. Tenía un mal día y lo pagué con una persona inocente en una pizzería. Pero Ally Morales no tiene nada de inocente, y lo demuestra durante el primer día en su nuevo trabajo... en mi oficina... después de que mi madre la contrate a mis espaldas. Puede que su personalidad alegre ilumine la redacción de la revista, puede que me guste que discuta conmigo delante de todos y puede que sus ojos marrones y su lengua afilada se hayan adueñado de todas mis fantasías, pero ella es solo un puzzle que quiero resolver. Y si consigo que dimita, quizá tenga vía libre para conocerla... Después podré dedicarme a restaurar el buen nombre familiar y olvidarme de esa morena a la que le encanta bailar y beber cerveza. Ally: Ja. Ni lo sueñes, gruñón. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over. Dominic was staring at me like he couldn't decide whether he loathed me or wanted to French kiss me. Dominic: > So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine's offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father. She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn't feel like sharing with me. And I'm going to fix it all. Don't accuse me of caring. She's nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit working here, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette. Ally: Ha! Hold my beer, Charming.

Dieses Buch untersucht, wie phänomenologische Ansätze zu den Themen Verleiblichung, Wahrnehmung und gelebte Erfahrung innerhalb der Disability Studies, der Critical Race Theory und der Queer Studies diskutiert werden.

It is not sufficient to speak of violence alone: sexual violence, racial violence, the violence of exploitation. In capitalism - Maurizio Lazzarato writes - production, whether material or immaterial, affective or desiring, always presupposes the extra-economic, extra-affective, extra-cognitive production of social classes. For production, there must be class; and to produce class, there must be a war of subjugation. For a long time, war no longer seemed to be part of political debates - it seemed merely a phenomenon from the past or the fate of distant countries on the planet. In his essay War and Violence post-operaist philosopher Maurizio Lazzarato talks about the permanent continuity of warlike violence, its relation to the beginning of capitalist cycles of accumulation, and the production of subjectivity.

"On the eve of the 2024 election, a fascinating - and frequently funny - tale of one man cycling the breadth of America. Frustrated by the shallow headlines focusing only on Trump, guns and divisions, award-winning travel writer Simon Parker decided that to better understand the USA he would have to travel across it, slowly. Did the America of his teenage dreams really exist? And was it really as fractured as the headlines suggest? On his journey to find out, Simon cycled 4,373 miles through eleven states and numerous extreme weather events, via mountains and prairie lands, forests and freeways. Along the way he visited homes, schools, churches and rodeos, meeting hundreds of (extra)ordinary Americans behind the clickbait news posts to discover a nation whose portrayal has become vastly oversimplified."--

A riveting journey through the history of mountaineering - before Everest.

Die Bereitstellung von Spiritual Care ist durch die geringe Spiritual Care-Kompetenz unter Gesundheitsfachpersonen eingeschränkt. Das vorliegende Werk beleuchtet Spiritual Care-Kompetenz in der Ausbildung von Gesundheitsfachpersonen: in einer konzeptionellen Untersuchung erfolgt eine Begriffsklärung, in einer anwendungsbezogenen Untersuchung werden zwei Studien zur Spiritual Care-Kompetenz ausgewertet. Zunächst werden Bedeutungsdimensionen herausgearbeitet, die die Spiritual Care-Kompetenz charakterisieren. Sodann zeigt zum einen die Analyse von Interviews, dass die Teilnahme an einem Online-Spiritual Care-Seminar zu Veränderungen in der Spiritual Care-Kompetenz führt. Zum anderen zeigt eine Fragebogenauswertung, dass Spiritual Care-Kompetenz ein veränderbares Konstrukt ist und die Teilnahme am Seminar einen signifikanten Effekt auf die wahrgenommene Spiritual Care-Kompetenz hat. Zusammenführend kann das Gesamtverständnis wie folgt präzisiert werden: Spiritual Care-Kompetenz ist Relations- und Grenzsituationskompetenz und kann durch ein gezieltes Lehrangebot gefördert werden. Diese Ergebnisse sind für das Verständnis von Spiritual Care-Kompetenz im Allgemeinen sowie für die Aus- und Weiterbildung in Spiritual Care im Besonderen relevant.

Ancient Olympia is located in a gently swinging bucolic countryside decorated with pine trees, hills and grazing grounds for sheep and goats, friendly dogs and shepherds. Flowers blossom everywhere. Through the idyllic landscape flows the scenic river Alpheios born in the mountains of Arcadia and winding along the long and greening valley. Eventually, it passes by next to many coarse and giant grey stone discs and huge columns, ruins of temples dedicated to the highest Greek gods as Zeus and Hera. It is the Holy Sanctuary of the "land of the Greeks" of old, the Altis at Olympia below the foot of Kronos Hill. Here, almost three millenia ago, was the Center of the ancient Greek culture of Olympic gods and Great Games. "Arcadia" was considered the origin and "Golden Age" of elegiac literature, Olympia of top-level agons at the stadium. And of public encounters of political, religious and military leaders as well as agons of rhetoricians, historians and philosophers.This is even nowadays a place of ever again coming back to: Rolling home to Old Olympia.Even modern Olympians are lured into the magical entourage and scenery. Including the author of this booklet.Sixty years ago, he taught here as a first Olympic docent at the Olympic Summer Academy organized by the Hellenic and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), after having written the first socio-philosophical book on "Values, Aims, Reality of the Modern Olympic Games" (1964), summarized in English. Later, he wrote "S.O.S. - Save Olympic Spirit" (2012).Now, he was invited to come back to present the opening lecture of the International Philosophy Olympiad (IPO) which was for the first time held in Ancient Olympia. Enthused, he came flying, rolling home to Old Olympia - as a former Olympic Champion in rowing - metaphorically: Rowing home to Old Olympia. Not only does he here present this keynote address, but vividly he offers his Olympic experiences and other quite funny but real Olympic stories - even his climb on Mt. Olympus.The Philosophy Department of the University of Patras organized this year's IPO which was cosponsored by the International Olympic Academy (IOA). The IPO meeting is the final essay contest for high-school students who had to qualify in their previous national pretests in 50 nations (two for each land). 250 young philosophy enthusiasts took part. The over-all topic was "Life in Fair Competition". The young students had a wonderful time together enjoying the acquaintance and blossoming international friendships. This is in full agreement and accordance with the values and ideas of the Olympic movement as fostered by the IOC and IOA. Quite in the same mood like the mentioned Olympic Summer Academies for sport students, teachers and officials - as well as the values of the Olympic Games and their rather new Olympic Youth Games. A hopeful value congruence of international solidarity and fostering friendship between young representatives all over the world. Only with such values embraced by the young generations we can hope for a better world.Therefore, it is really imperative to go international and come back rolling home to Olympia - in sport and philosophy as well.

Epic Runs of North America 1

2017 Washington State Book Award finalist, based on the strength of its literary merit and lasting importance!The Ocean is calling me. This is my Journey.With these words, in the spring of 2010, Susan Marie Conrad scaled her world down to an 18-foot sea kayak and launched a solo journey that took her north to Alaska. With no sense of where she belonged in space and unreconciled feelings of a painful childhood following her, she decided that instead of running away, she would run toward her dreams. Her adventure took her along the western coast of North America, through the Inside Passage-a 1,200-mile ribbon of water-in a journey of the sea and soul.The expedition took her deep within herself, humbling her, healing her, helping her to discover the depths of her own strength and courage. On her way from Anacortes, Washington, to Juneau, Alaska, she grappled with fear and exhaustion, forged friendships with quirky people in the strangest places, endured perilous weather and angry seas, and pretended not to be intimidated by 700-pound grizzly bears and 40-ton whales.She lived her dream.

The Tennis Court will appeal to students of the game, avid travelers, design enthusiasts, aspiring adventurers, and players, alike, whether stored on a shelf, in an overhead bin, or tucked inside a racquet bag"--

Glacier National Park's remote locale allows visitors to experience an intact ecosystem that hosts nearly all wildlife and bird species that were found a century ago when Congress designated the 1.2 million acres as America's 10th national park.
