On Liberty is a philosophical work outlining Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state. Mill attempts to establish standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. He emphasizes the importance of individuality which he conceived as a prerequisite to the higher pleasures.

Ever wondered what to do in polite society if you find an insect in your food? Or how a gentleman should ask a lady to dance? And what on earth is the etiquette for smoking cigars? First published in 1860, Cecil B. Hartley's classic guide to gentlemanly behaviour is a veritable mine of information and indispensable advice for aspiring gentlemen. No matter if a man finds himself at a party, meeting someone new or travelling abroad, he has but to leaf through this book to learn how best to behave, and indeed how not to behave. And if he can find time between his numerous invitations to balls and hunting parties, he could benefit from a perusal of the sections on gentlemanly deportment and conversational technique. Not forgetting, of course, the all-important advice on how to treat ladies, surely an integral part of any true gentleman's training. Published here in a stunning edition alongside The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, this is the perfect gift for the would-be gentleman in your life. While it's an excellent volume for dipping into for hilarious nuggets of outdated advice, this guide also contains advice on all manner of topics, from beard-keeping to chivalry, that are just as relevant today as they were in Cecil B. Hartley's time. As he says himself: 'Once a gentleman always a gentleman' and be sure that you can so carry out the rule, that in your most careless, joyous moments, when freest from the restraints of etiquette, you can still be recognizable as a gentleman by every act, word, or look.

Are you worried about how to pay for college?? Are admissions requirements dictating your family’s lives?? Are you concerned about your child’s job prospects after graduation? If any of these questions resonate with you, it’s time to consider college in Europe.?? As a mother confronted by these issues, Jennifer Viemont took it upon herself to meticulously research, personally visit, and carefully consider the alternatives in continental Europe. She found over 300 accredited universities offering high-quality bachelor’s degree programs taught entirely in English—no foreign language skills needed—for a fraction of what American schools charge.

Philosophers have explained space. They have not explained time. It is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it, all is possible; without it, nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle, an affair genuinely astonishing when one examines it.

Everyone in life is gonna hurt you,?You just have to figure out which people are worth the pain.?- Erica Baican??She Walks In Beauty like the night (Lord Byron)??Everybody is looking for someone they belong to. Everybody is looking for the sense of their lives. But whatever you do, nothing makes sense without love in your heart.?So, the question is "What can love do?"?Love helps to live and to survive in the hardest moments of our lives.?Love inspires you.??Love awakes good feelings in your soul. The feeling of flying in the sky...The feeling of growing wings... The feeling of real living, not existing...?Love brings harmony in your heart.?Love is belief.??Love is warmth. Warmth, which can protect you from all your fears.?Love is caring. Caring for every living being around you.?Love is giving.

Collected by the author over many years, these stories from the Yoga and Zen traditions are the flint and steel that strike a spark that lights up the mind with insights that one should ponder daily to bring to light ever deeper meaning. They may be similar in intent to Zen Koans – but they are rather different in content. In many Zen Koans someone says or does something extraordinarily inappropriate, which catches your attention just because it’s extraordinary –but afterwards the light from them has to be applied to daily life. In contrast, the stories here are often ordinary incidents from ordinary lives (not that there aren’t some extraordinary ones too!) that nevertheless open the mind’s eye to the vast potential for realization and inspiration to be found in daily life. The pictures featured throughout this book were brushed by Jacques Allais in the Suiboku style, in which he was an acknowledged expert. The innate beauty of this ancient monochrome ink-painting technique lies in its subtlety of expression, in which infinitely more is suggested than is drawn on the page – making it the perfect vehicle for focusing meditation practice as well as an ideal complement to the stories in this book.

The text translated here is an historical find: an unknown commentary on the Yoga Sutra-s of Patanjali by Sankara, the most eminent philosopher of ancient India. Present Indications are that it is likely to be authentic, which would date it about AD700. The many references to meditation in his accepted works have sometimes been regarded as concessions to accepted ideas of the time , and not really his own views. If he has chosen to write a commentary on Yoga meditation, it must have been a central part of his own standpoint, although he was opposed to some of the philosophical doctrines of the official Yoga school. One would expect a tendency to modify these unacceptable doctrines if this text is really by Sankara. This turns out to be the case'.? T.P.Leggett - Introduction for the general reader -?1990 '.....Leggett's translation of the Vivarana did not receive the attention it deserved when it first came out. Some of the points that he raised are well worth consideration in the context of the authorship problem, and his contribution to the debate should be recognised..... Dr Kengo Harimoto in his Foreword to the e-book edition -?2017 'When enthusiasm flags, read sutras 11.15 - 17; look around you and see how anxiety, pain and death are rushing towards us like an express train. Yoga is a way to escape them'. T.P.Leggett - How to use this book for Yoga Practice - 1990 Excerpts from 'The Complete Commentary by Sankara on the Yoga Sutra-s' by Trevor Leggett

G?nde?ti exagerat de mult ?nainte de a ac?iona? E?ti ?nclinat s? faci previziuni negative? ??i faci griji c? e posibil s? se ?nt?mple ce poate fi mai r?u? Te afecteaz? prea tare feedbackul negativ? E?ti foarte autocritic? Dac? r?spunsul este afirmativ, suferi de anxietate. Vestea bun? este c? po?i ?nv??a s? ??i gestionezi capcanele anxiet??ii – ezitarea excesiv? ?nainte de a ac?iona, reflectarea ?ndelungat? ?i ?ngrijorarea, perfec?ionismul paralizant, teama de feedback ?i critic? ?i evitarea (inclusiv procrastinarea). R?spunde mai ?nt?i la chestionarele care te vor ajuta s? apreciezi ?n ce stadiu te afli ?n raport cu un blocaj specific anxiet??ii, apoi afl? ce schimb?ri de g?ndire ?i modific?ri comportamentale ??i recomand? autoarea. Bazate pe principiile terapiei cognitiv?comportamentale, acestea pot fi folosite ?n via?a de zi cu zi pentru a dep??i blocajele ?i a avea succes ?n rela?ii, at?t ?n via?a personal?, c?t ?i ?n cea profesional?.

Un angajat cu experien?? ajunge s? ia decizii financiare nes?buite, repet?nd, f?r? s? ?tie, istoria t?t?lui s?u, un parior "ratat" pe care nici m?car nu-l cunoscuse. O t?n?r? depresiv? vrea s? se sinucid? prin "evaporare", pentru ca mai apoi s? afle c? bunica ei supravie?uise camerelor de gazare de la Auschwitz. Un b?iat e cuprins de senza?ii inexplicabile de frig, f?r? s? ?tie c? unchiul s?u murise ?nghe?at.?Cartea de fa?? vorbe?te despre acele fobii, depresii ?i g?nduri obsesive care ne cople?esc f?r? s? ne d?m seama de unde ni se trag. Combin?nd cercet?rile din neuro?tiin?e cu interven?iile specifice constela?iilor familiale, autorul demonstreaz? ?n ce fel uneori ajungem s? mo?tenim ?i s? retr?im, ?n mod incon?tient, suferin?ele ?i traumele nerezolvate ale str?mo?ilor. Cititorul are la ?ndem?n? c?i utile pentru eliberarea de traumele mo?tenite pe cale transgenera?ional?. Aceste tehnici merg de la identificarea anxiet??ilor mascate dup? cuvinte ?i comportamente aparte p?n? la genogram?, dialogul imaginar cu str?mo?ii ?i eliberarea, prin compasiune, de suferin?ele genera?iilor trecute.

C?nd "explodezi" de furie, gesturile necugetate pot avea consecin?e pe care s? le regre?i o via?? ?ntreag?: ajungi s?-?i strici rela?iile cu cei mai buni prieteni, ??i periclitezi situa?ia de la serviciu sau chiar te ?mboln?ve?ti grav. Reac?ia pasiv?, de tipul "Rabd? ?i ?ntoarce ?i cel?lalt obraz", dar ?i exprimarea brut? a furiei (prin lovirea unor perne, de exemplu) sunt, ambele, solu?ii la fel de nes?n?toase. Dar cum altfel s? faci fa?? stresului ?i nedrept??ilor ?i cum s? ??i aperi punctul de vedere, f?r? s? pari agresiv? Influentul terapeut american Albert Ellis te ajut? s?-?i ?n?elegi mai bine credin?ele care ??i provoac? furia, s? ??i exprimi ?n moduri asertive (dar neviolente) opiniile ?n fa?a celor care te-au m?niat, dar ?i s? aplici metode de relaxare ?i de control cognitiv-comportamental al reac?iilor afective exacerbate ?i al g?ndurilor ira?ionale disfunc?ionale. Miza c?r?ii nu const? ?n a-?i reprima sau ascunde furia, ci ?n a o accepta ?i a o modula ?n forme s?n?toase, care te pot ajuta s? fii mai asertiv ?i mai echilibrat.?

Pornind de la celebra sentin?? dostoievskian? – ?Dac? Dumnezeu nu exist?, atunci totul este permis" – unii au depl?ns declinul autorit??ilor religioase ?i al idealurilor morale, iar al?ii au conchis c? singurul principiu de via?? care ne r?m?ne este cel al luptei pentru supravie?uire, observ? Fromm. Ca r?spuns la bulversarea valorilor din secolul trecut, cartea de fa?? aduce argumente filosofice ?i socio-psihanalitice pentru o ?ntoarcere a omului la sine, pentru o nou? "art? de a tr?i". Etica "umanist?", propus? de Fromm, se vrea o alternativ? la etica "autoritar?", motivat? de culp? ?i supunere tem?toare. Noua moral? se va ghida, astfel, dup? gradul ?n care reu?im s? ne actualiz?m poten?ialul - acesta va fi criteriul ?n func?ie de care vom decide ce ne este permis sau interzis din punct de vedere moral. C?ci, ?n loc de a ne trata propria persoan? ca pe o marf? (dup? cum ne ?ncurajeaz? "orientarea mercantil?" de ast?zi), menirea noastr? va fi s? ne realiz?m poten?ialul. "Binele" este, astfel, redefinit ca afirmare a vie?ii ?i actualizare a posibilit??ilor umane, iar "r?ul" este echivalat cu degradarea puterilor noastre omene?ti.?

Interviuri aprofundate, initiate de Gallup Organization cu mai mult de 80.000 de manageri din peste 400 de companii – cel mai extins studiu de gen, realizat vreodata. Cei mai mari manageri din lume par sa aiba prea putine lucruri in comun. Ei sunt diferiti ca sex, varsta si rasa. Folosesc stiluri foarte diferite si au teluri distincte. Si totusi, in ciuda diferentelor dintre ei, marii manageri au o trasatura comuna: nu se feresc sa incalce toate regulile considerate sacre de managementul traditional. Ei nu cred ca, beneficiind de o pregatire corespunzatoare, o persoana poate realiza orice si-ar propune. Nu incearca sa-i ajute pe oameni sa-si depaseasca slabiciunile. Nu iau in seama deloc regula de aur. Dimpotriva, chiar au angajati favoriti. Aceasta carte extraordinara explica de ce fac toate acestea. Marcus Buckingham si Curt Coffman de la Gallup Organization prezinta rezultatele remarcabile ale studiului aprofundat pe care l-au facut asupra unor manageri aflati intr-o mare diversitate de situatii. Unii erau in pozitii de top. Altii erau simpli supervizori. Unii lucrau in companii aflate pe lista Fortune 500, altii aveau functii cheie in mici companii. Indiferent de pozitia lor, managerii asupra carora s-a concentrat studiul Gallup au fost invariabil cei care excelau in transformarea in performanta a talentului fiecarui angajat. Pe restransa piata a muncii de astazi, companiile se intrec in a-i gasi si a-i pastra pe cei mai buni angajati, rasplatindu-i cu bani, beneficii, promovari si stagii de instruire. Dar aceste eforturi bine intentionate omit adesea esentialul. Cheia atragerii si pastrarii angajatilor talentati este managerul aflat in ?prima linie“, adica in contact direct cu acestia. Oricat de generos ar fi salariul si oricat de celebru stagiul de pregatire, o companie care duce lipsa de manageri ?in prima linie“ va avea de suferit. Buckingham si Coffman explica modul in care cei mai buni manageri aleg un angajat mai degraba in functie de talent, decat in functie de pricepere sau experienta; felul in care acesti manageri definesc asteptarile legate de fiecare angajat, stabilind mai degraba rezultatele de atins, decat pasii de urmat; modul in care isi motiveaza oamenii, stimuland punctele forte unice ale fiecaruia, in loc de a incerca sa le amelioreze slabiciunile si, in sfarsit, felul in care marii manageri sprijina dezvoltarea cuiva, ajutandu-l sa-si gaseasca locul potrivit, nu neaparat sa urce pe treapta urmatoare a carierei. Si, poate cel mai important lucru este faptul ca, din acest studiu care initial a generat mii de intrebari diferite pentru a sonda opinia angajatilor, au rezultat douasprezece intrebari simple care reusesc sa distinga departamentele cele mai puternice ale unei companii de restul departamentelor. Cartea de fata este prima care prezinta acest fundamental instrument de masurare si care demonstreaza legatura intre opiniile angajatilor si productivitate, profit, satisfactia clientilor si rata profitului.

Robert R. Provine p??e?te f?r? team? pe c?r?ri rareori b?tute de al?i oameni de ?tiin?? – ?n c?utarea sughi?urilor, tusei, c?scatului, str?nuturilor ?i a altor comportamente umane, aparent nedemne ?i de joas? spe??. De?i multe dintre activit??ile prezentate ?n Comportamente bizare sunt contagioase, ?n aceast? privin??, niciunul dintre ele nu ?ntrece c?scatul – p?n? ?i simpla citire a cuv?ntului ne poate face s?-i c?dem prad?. Chiar dac?, adesea, ?l privim ca pe un semn de somnolen?? sau plictiseal?, c?scatul ne ofer? indicii despre devoltarea socialit??ii ?i capacit??ii noastre de a empatiza cu ceilal?i. Implacabilul s?u mecanism de transmitere ne reaminte?te c?, uneori, suntem programa?i neurologic s? ne comport?m ca ni?te simple animale de turm? incon?tiente. ?Deschide?i cartea aceasta, care se bazeaz? pe cercet?ri serioase, dar care se cite?te ca un roman poli?ist, ?i descoperi?i lucruri pe care nici nu vi le-a?i fi imaginat vreodat? despre aceste comportamente.“ Frans de Waal, profesor la Universitatea Emory ?i autor al lucr?rii The Age of Empathy(2009)
