Story
Failure is a topic discussed in every creative writing department in the world, but this is the book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare them. Less a guide to writing and more a guide to what you need to continue existing as a writer, On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer describes the defining role played by rejection in literary endeavors and contemplates failure as the essence of the writer’s life.

Story
In this Very Short Introduction, Marya Schechtman uses insights from philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and popular thought to consider some of the most compelling and puzzling questions about the self, including questions about what kind of object a self is if it is an object at all, what it means to be oneself and why it is important, what kinds of changes the self can and cannot survive, whether a self can be separated from its body, and what role engagement with the environment and with other selves plays in constituting and maintaining the self.

Story
Half a century ago, the world changed forever when a Swiss chemist inadvertently ingested the experimental compound lysergic acid diethylamide. The Psychedelic Review was founded in 1963 as a serious journal dedicated to the study of the potential of both natural and synthesized psychedelic substances. Presenting experts in the fields of anthropology, religion, pharmacology, poetry, and metaphysics, this pioneering journal had a dramatic impact. The Psychedelic Reader now offers a relevant guidebook to the foundations of a bold new era in mental health studies.

Story
Since the publication of The Prince five centuries ago, Machiavelli has been associated with political amorality. But that characterization is unfair. In Be Like the Fox, Erica Benner sets the record straight: far from the ruthless "Machiavellian" henchman that people think he was, Machiavelli emerges here as a profound ethical thinker who fought to uphold high moral standards and restore the democratic freedoms of his beloved Florence.

Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs verkörpern vier Philosoph:innen die Suche nach einem neuen Menschenbild und einer neuen Aufklärung: Theodor W. Adorno, Susan Sontag, Michel Foucault und Paul K. Feyerabend. Mit dem Ziel, die Welt besser zu verstehen und der lebensweltlichen Enge zu entfliehen, gehen sie zwischen Frankfurt, Paris, London, Berkeley und New York neue Wege, die direkt zu den großen Bruchlinien unserer Gegenwart führen. Wolfram Eilenberger legt erneut ein erzählerisches Meisterwerk vor, das Geschichte und Philosophie auf einzigartige Weise verbindet.

Do you ever feel like a failure?

Story
This book offers what may with reservations be described as a theory of the mind. But it does not give new information about minds. We possess already a wealth of information about minds, information which is neither derived from, nor upset by, the arguments of philosophers. The philosophical arguments which constitute this book are intended not to increase what we know about minds, but to rectify the logical geography of the knowledge which we already possess.

Wrestling with life's greatest demands? Find answers within yourself with a little Stoic guidance. Marcus Aurelius penned many of his incredible thoughts working off of Ancient Stoic teachings. It's unreal how you can still grasp his concepts and apply them to your daily problems! Modern problems require modern Stoicism. Often, men find themselves as the first line of defense when it comes to family and professional problems. These circumstances are out of anyone's control, and just because you can "handle" it, doesn't mean you must sacrifice your security and happiness for it.

Eckhart Tolle rappresenta la sintesi perfetta fra millenni di saggezza e il sentire contemporaneo: con una chiarezza e un'efficacia straordinarie, condensa nelle sue pagine gli insegnamenti dei grandi della storia del pensiero, da Buddha a Gesù, ma anche Shakespeare e, perché no, i Rolling Stones. Il suo messaggio è tanto semplice quanto capace di rivoluzioni, interiori ed esteriori. Basta spegnere il rumore di fondo che affolla di pensieri la nostra mente, abbracciare il presente scrollandosi di dosso l'ingombro del nostro ego.

Story
Denis Diderot is often associated with the decades-long battle to bring the world's first comprehensive Encyclopedie into existence. But his most daring writing took place in the shadows. Thrown into prison for his atheism in 1749, Diderot decided to reserve his best books for posterity - for us, in fact. In the astonishing cache of unpublished writings left behind after his death, Diderot challenged virtually all of his century's accepted truths, from the sanctity of monarchy, to the racial justification of the slave trade, to the norms of human sexuality.
