Personal Philosophy

What if we lived in a world that revolved around quality of life, rather than economic winners and losers? In Person to Person, Joeri Torfs and Pim Ampe describe this world and chart a clear path toward it. Grounded in research and rooted in reality, the world they describe is neither a utopia nor a fantasy. They present an environment that incentivizes goodness, fairness, sustainability, and freedom. It begins with the individual and moves toward our collaborative relationships.

Power lifts the mood. It motivates us to take charge and liberates us to be our authentic selves. It means wealth, ability, choice, fame, influence, dominance, authority, rank, and prestige. Powerlessness depresses the mood. It stifles the self by making it subservient to other people’s wills. It is at the core of many social ills - from poverty to anxiety, workplace problems to marital discord. The lack of power can damage our health - both mental and physical - and even shorten our lives.

Common Core is not your typical education reform idea. It is a giant step towards the goal of federalized, corporate-run education, the underlying ambition of elitists in this country for more than 100 years. Parents and educators cannot rely on what they read or hear from the creators of the Common Core for the truth. One must dig deeper, past the lies, to understand the implications of the Common Core agenda.

In this manual, you can learn the history, the philosophy, the schools of thought, the principles, the meditation, the yoga and the benefits that led that common mortal to have a more acute, open and pure thought towards the world around us, of his own inner world and in the relationship with others, and apply it yourself in everyday life. By learning these principles, you will be able to manage in the best way what happens to you and be able to reach, with constancy, that serenity that is so lacking in today's society.

Do you want to find the path to a meaningful and happy life? Have you heard about Stoicism, and do you want to learn more about it? Being a stoic implies embracing positivity through accepting the uncertainty of results and self-control. You will learn how to take charge of your feelings on the path to sustained happiness and fulfillment with the help of this manual. This easy-to-navigate guide to Stoicism gives you the necessary emotional tools to let go of the things you can't control and find joy in what you have.

Core Stoic Principles: Explore wisdom, rationality, and resilience as the foundation for ethical decision-making and personal growth. Focusing on What is Within Our Control: Concentrate on your responses and actions to cultivate inner peace and confidence. Managing and Understanding Emotions: Develop emotional resilience and maintain composure in the face of adversity.

Stoicism has a lot to offer that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago—its guiding purpose was to help us to live better lives. The Stoic golden rule was that "we can't control external events, but we can choose how to respond to them". This idea can have a profound effect on how we exist in the world.

It ought not to be necessary to ask a man if he likes his work. The radiance of his face should tell that. His very buoyancy and pride in his task, his spirit of unbounded enthusiasm and zest ought to show it.

Gesundheit, Kreativität, persönliches Glück – Charles Pépin zeigt: Wir müssen anderen begegnen, um uns selbst zu begegnen. Begegnungen verändern uns, indem sie uns mit dem Anderen konfrontieren, schreibt Charles Pépin. Nachdem uns die Pandemie auf Abstand gezwungen hat, geht der Philosoph der Frage nach, was freundschaftliche, romantische, professionelle und zufällige Begegnungen für den Einzelnen bedeuten. Er zeigt: Jeder zwischenmenschliche Kontakt ist auch eine Begegnung mit der Welt und mit uns selbst.

Caring is something we and our world urgently need. We know real caring when we experience it, but our way of life - or perhaps our way of relating to our minds - seems to leave us feeling profoundly uncared for. Lacking care ourselves, we begin to lose our ability to care for others.

Stoische Ruhe: Wie auch Sie mit der alten Philosophie der Stoiker ganz einfach zu umfassender Ruhe und Gelassenheit kommen! Mit zahlreichen Anwendungsgebieten und Übungen. Stoische Gelassenheit - das klingt für Sie nach einer traumhaften Wunschvorstellung, scheint aber gleichzeitig nicht mehr als eine unerreichbare Redewendung zu sein?

Sie möchten, dass endlich nicht mehr die Situation Sie kontrolliert, sondern Sie die Situation?

"В чому наше благо? Вибрані думки римського філософа" — збірка творів, що належать перу давньогрецького філософа Епіктета. До неї увійшли "Афоризми" і трактат В чому наше благо? Це роздуми відомого, зрештою, провідного, проповідника стоїцизму від класичної грецької школи про сенс життя і природу, про моральність, щастя і свободу особистості. Власне, роздуми Епіктета — це підвалини філософського напрямку самовдосконалення і саморозвитку. Епіктет вважав, що людина повинна розділити усі речі і обставини на залежні від неї і незалежні. У першому випадку мужньо виконувати свій обов'язок, решту — ігнорувати.

Over this lifetime, and with all the ones that came before, I finally reawakened and transformed myself to a God-realized human being. What does that even mean? I will share my secret, which is not really secret at all.

Get ready to laugh. This is not a boring education book. With real world lessons and funny anecdotes listeners can connect with, Ian explains how families can win the battle to stop divisive and dangerous concepts rooted in critical race theory and other dangerous left-wing ideologies from spreading to their schools. He convincingly makes the case that the Left envisions a public education system in America where children are no longer the responsibility of their parents but rather mere wards of the state.
