Timeless Tales

Maher Asaad Baker

Beschreibung

In the human veins there is effluence of the stream of the stories which carries heal of the myths and the legends for as long as the world existed. In "Timeless Tales", we go through this vast area of these interesting stories in an effort to evaluate their body and soul and determine the impact of society, psychology today and in arts and contemporary literature.

As for our voyage, it starts with the Greco-Egyptian lore that has no beginning and end and is heralded by the frozen civilized bleakness of the North. We get into the worlds of gods and heroes and meet with such representations within ourselves and our lives. Through the twists and turns of the stories, profound messages are revealed regarding such things as confusion and structure, pain and ecstasy, annihilation and resurrection.

This book is more than the straightforward analysis of mythology; it is an attempt to awaken the world to the value of stories and finite; it is a call to face the questions that have been asked since the dawn of time and to live fully in the face of mystery.

On Being Ill

Virginia Woolf

"Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable."
Virginia Woolf's essay begins by lamenting the surprise neglect of ill-health as a potential literary subject. What then unfolds is a dazzlingly written series of reflections on sickness, fiction, and the chilling indifference of the natural world. Above all a testament to the fundamental solitariness of the human soul, this is an indispensable work by the preeminent stylist of twentieth-century English literature.

Living Room Revolution - A...

Cecile Andrews

The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project).

Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed.

Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation.

At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation.

The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room!

“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
