In the summer of 2000, David Hlavsa and his wife Lisa Holtby embarked on a pilgrimage.

What is human happiness and how can we promote it?

Love is about a lot more than just romantic attachments. Love is about all that gives joy and meaning to our lives. The problem is that many of us suffer from a lack of love that can show up in lots of ways: self-doubt, insecurity, depression, despair, fears of being a fraud or an imposter in your own life, and feelings of unworthiness more generally. If you suffer from painful feelings such as these, you are far from alone.

Are we dust in the wind, or are we human beings with a purpose? Are we born to live alone or thrive together? These are questions that have rocked my foundation. Simply Put is my attempt to propose questions in order to find answers.

In einer Einbahnstraße gibt es keinen Gegenverkehr. Und von einer neuen Erkenntnis geht es nicht rückwärts! Walter Benjamins 'Einbahnstraße' führt an zahlreichen Denkanstößen entlang, hin zu richtungsweisenden Erkenntnissen - für jeden, der sich darauf einlässt. 'Einbahnstraße' ist zunächst einmal Kurzprosa - eine Sammlung von Gedanken, von Notizen, ein Kaleidoskop von literarisch-philosophischen Miniaturen, eine Präsentation von 'Denkbildern', essayistische Feinkost. Das 1928 erschienene Werk ist thematisch breit angelegt und hat viele Bezüge zu unserer aktuellen Gegenwart.

As often as we use our senses, we rarely stop to think about their place in history. But perception is not dependent on the body alone. Carolyn Purnell persuasively shows that, while our bodies may not change dramatically, the way we think about the senses and put them to use has been rather different over the ages. Journeying through the past 300 years, Purnell explores how people used their senses in ways that might shock us now.

This is not a self-help book, or a book of specific guidance. In fact, it was written because too many works that claim to help you find your way either disappear into meaningless abstraction or are so petty and particular they fall at the first hurdle, teaching control instead of acceptance. Come with Arthur and Chirag as they discuss the ways they have sought understanding and progress over time, both within and without.

Most nerve cells in the outermost layers of the brain end blindly, without any continuing nerve connections. Baumann investigates the possibilities underlying this peculiar medical observation and suggests that these neurons are the very beacons of our human awareness and consciousness.

Join the author on a journey into the mystical realm of electromagnetism and the proven phenomena which allow our infinitesimally weak brainwaves to radiate into space and circle the globe several times over.

One of the most significant discoveries of modern science is that the world we perceive around us is not as it appears. Rather, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and quantum physics have demonstrated that our day-to-day reality is a relative construct, built upon a scaffolding of information bits that betray their real origin and causation.

These beliefs are formed early in life, reside in the subconscious, and have an incredibly strong influence on our thoughts, actions, and emotions.

Während der Jahre des Ersten Weltkrieges widmete sich Steiner intensiv der Verteidigung seiner anthroposophischen Geisteswissenschaft gegen zeitgenössische Kritiker. Die Schrift ›Von Seelenrätseln‹ von 1917 ist Ausdruck dieser Bemühungen.
