Napier demonstrates how non-Western exchange practices and beliefs can redress the ills of contemporary economic systems in which our relationship to material things transforms animate elements of social life into inanimate commodities. Such processes separate objects from domains of deep meaning and release individuals from the moral relationships on which feelings of attachment, community responsibility, and a sense of place depend.

Facing life alone at an advanced age, Julius Herz cannot shake the sense that he should be elsewhere, doing other things. Walking through bustling streets that seem increasingly alien to him, he’s confronted by life’s pressing questions with an urgency he has never known before: what do we owe the people in our lives? How should we fill our days? Feeling fortified despite the growing ache in his heart, Herz finds himself also blessed with a stirring sense of exhilaration. After a lifetime of deferring to others’ stronger wills, he faces a future of possibility, the only constraint the deeply ingrained habits of his mind. Profound and deeply resonant, Making Things Better explores the quandaries of aging, longing, and self-discovery with transfixing precision and spellbinding acuity.

"Captures the quandaries of aging, the misunderstanding of an increasingly modern, alien world; awkward conversations with passersby; even more awkward conversations with passersby, even more awkward encounters with longtime friends and acquaintances; the anxieties posed by age and uncertainty and the bizarre, magnificent self-knowledge that perhaps only age, reflection, and experience can bring." -- Jacket.

Twenty five hundred years ago, after years of searching for wisdom, Buddha concluded that “life is suffering.” In his perennial best seller The Road Less Traveled, M. Scott Peck begins with the statement, “Life is difficult.” And when I was a young boy, my father told me, “Life ain’t easy.” This seems to be a universal truth. We all have issues to face, difficulties to surmount, questions that need answering and problems to resolve. We are all faced with the daily dilemmas of life. There are no easy answers, shortcuts or secret techniques to deal with our difficulties. One thing we do know is that you have the capacity to solve your problems and heal your wounds. Your power to do this lies within your ability to choose your reactions, alter your attitudes, control your mental perceptions and change your life. When any event or situation occurs, in that very moment, you have a choice. You can choose to make things better, or choose to make things worse. If you are basing your choice on sound reasoning, rational thinking, and self-awareness; if you are dealing with the issue in the moment; if you are looking for opportunities for learning and growth; if you are looking within for answers; and if you are taking responsibility for your experience, then you are more likely to make things better. Since we are all imperfect, fallible human beings, we all have our own ways of making things worse. This book identifies 101 ways that people typically make things worse and then offers many more strategies, techniques and possible solutions to conquer those self-defeating choices. Here is a list of those 101 ways. Use it as a checklist to identify your specific ways of making things worse. 1. Worry about it 2. Take yourself too seriously 3. Focus all your attention on it 4. Don’t be satisfied unless it’s perfect 5. Think there’s only one way to fix it 6. Stop breathing 7. Avoid it 8. Imagine the worst 9. Think of it as yet another obstacle to overcome 10. Judge yourself (or others) 11. See your problem as unique 12. Remember all the times in the past you had to deal with similar problems 13. Wait for a guaranteed solution 14. Tell yourself you’re not capable of solving it 15. Feel sorry for yourself 16. Become immobile (stay in your room) 17. Don’t eat 18. Don’t tell anyone 19. Hide your emotions 20. Isolate yourself 21. Take it out on someone else 22. Distract yourself 23. Realize you don’t deserve better 24. Stay in bed 25. Tell yourself you’ll never be happy 26. Blame your parents (or anyone else) 27. Wait for someone to fix it 28. Take it personally 29. Have a temper tantrum 30. Keeping using the same way to deal with it 31. Run away 32. Play it safe 33. Stay uninformed 34. Smoke, drink or pop a pill 35. Think about how lucky and happy other people are 36. Stuff your face 37. Tell yourself it will last forever 38. Realize that the world’s just a terrible place to live 39. Tell yourself it doesn’t exist 40. Hope it goes away 41. Deal with it tomorrow 42. Accept it as your lot in life 43. Blame God 44. Wait for Divine intervention 45. Hate yourself or the experience 46. Feel helpless and hopeless 47. Compare your life to other people 48. File it away so you don’t have to deal with it 49. Get the answers from other people 50. Play “what if” or “yes but” 51. Tell yourself it’s just not fair 52. Call the psychic hot line 53. Keep telling yourself this shouldn’t be happening 54.

A radical reassessment of how we can most effectively help others by a rising star of philosophy and leading social entrepreneur. 'A surprising and often counterintuitive look at the best ways to make a difference . . . MacAskill is that rarest of beasts: a do-gooder who uses his head more than his heart.' SUNDAY TIMES Most of us want to make a difference. We donate to charity, buy Fairtrade coffee, or try to cut down on our carbon emissions. Rarely do we know if we're really helping, and despite our best intentions, our actions can have ineffective - and sometimes downright harmful - outcomes. Confronting this problem, William MacAskill developed the concept of effective altruism, a practical, data-driven approach which shows that each of us has the power to do an astonishing amount of good, given the right information. His conclusions are often surprising; by examining the charities we give to, the goods we buy and the careers we pursue, Doing Good Better is a fascinating and original guide which shows how, through simple actions, you can improve thousands of lives - including your own. 'A data nerd after my own heart.' BILL GATES 'Required reading for anyone interested in making the world better.' STEVEN LEVITT, co-author of Freakonomics 'Effective altruism - efforts that actually help people rather than making you feel good or helping you show off - is one of the great new ideas of the 21st century. Doing Good Better is the definitive guide to this exciting new movement.' STEVEN PINKER, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature

The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 20 million copies sold! Translated into 60+ languages! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.
