Beschreibung

Welcome to the Essays collection. A special selection of the nonfiction prose from influential and noteworthy authors. This book brings some of best essays of Jonathan Swift, across a wide range of subjects.

Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, poet and Anglican cleric. His deadpan, ironic writing style, particularly in A Modest Proposal, has led to such satire being subsequently termed "Swiftian".

The book contains the following texts:
- Introduction by Edmund Gosse;
- Jonathan Swift by Charles Whibley;
- An Essay on Modern Education;
- An Essay on the Fates of Clergymen;
- Of the Education of Ladies;
- Some Thoughts on Freethinking;
- Hints on Good Manners;
- Resolutions for Old Age;
- Hints Toward an Essay on Conversation;
- A Tritical Essay Upon the Faculties of the Mind;
- Of Mean and Great Figures Made by Several Persons;
- A Proposal For Correcting, Improving, and Ascertaining the English Tongue;
- A Treatise on good Manners;
- A Modest Proposal.

    This is a 12-book combo with the following topics in it: 
    Topic 1: Confucius has definitely left a mark on the world of Eastern philosophy. His ideas were revolutionary and impressive enough for people to follow him, record his works, and start a group of devoted followers. In the first chapter, more light will be shed on this. 
      
    The second philosopher mentioned in this guide, is Aristotle, a sharp-minded, focused thinker who received a name with fame. His clinical examinations and his references to Plato and Socrates are known in Greek history. 
    Topic 2: Stoicism is a concept that has been studied more and more lately. The philosophy that dates back all the way to Socrates has been significant in many people’s lives. So, today, we will expand on what stoicism is, where it originated from, and how you can use it in your life to become a better person and achieve more. 
    Topic 3: In this guide, you will learn how the skepticism movement has evolved over the past few centuries, what it is today, how it makes complete sense and how it differs from cynicism. These things are explained in a handful of pages, but the information you can get out of this, is well worth your time. 
    Topic 4: In today’s guide, we’ll discuss the nature of existentialism and nihilism, two co-existing philosophies that have embraced by many. Nietzsche and Kierkegaard play a major role in these movements, so their works will be quoted and explained.

    Mindfulness and the idea that consciousness creates reality can seem pretty out there. 
    Blogger/Podcaster MJ Blehart works to use plain language, life experience, and his own trial-and-error actions to help define and create a Kickass Life. You Are Amazing is not just a statement of fact, but a recognition of your ability to create an incredible life for yourself. 
    How to Create a Kickass Life explores how to work with overcoming fears, uncertainties, recognizing truths about the human condition, and using our thoughts, feelings and intentional actions to be amazing and build incredible lives. MJ is just like you, a fairly regular person who has experienced both mundane and unbelievable things. 
    Working with mindfulness and awareness, MJ brings you an approachable angle towards living an amazing, full life, and recognizing how truly amazing you can be. There's some hooky-spooky BS here, because it's not all BS and totally out-there weirdness. But also, a self-aware journey into living the best possible life we can. Choosing and deciding to recognize how amazing you are is a keystone in this lifetime process. 
    Wouldn't it be cool to stop worrying about things and lead a satisfying life?
