The writings of Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) have captivated scholars, activists, and ecologists for more than a century. Less attention has been paid, however, to the author’s political philosophy and its influence on American public life. Although Thoreau’s doctrine of civil disobedience has long since become a touchstone of world history, the greater part of his political legacy has been overlooked. With a resurgence of interest in recent years, A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau is the first volume focused exclusively on Thoreau’s ethical and political thought. Jack Turner illuminates the unexamined aspects of Thoreau’s political life and writings. Combining both new and classic essays, this book offers a fresh and comprehensive understanding of Thoreau’s politics, and includes discussions of subjects ranging from his democratic individualism to the political relevance of his intellectual eccentricity. The collection consists of works by sixteen prominent political theorists and includes an extended bibliography on Thoreau’s politics. A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau is a landmark reference for anyone seeking a better understanding of Thoreau’s complex political philosophy.

This book challenges the populist idea that loneliness is a bad and sad thing. Loneliness is rather very facilitative mechanism of body-mind for wellness and personal excellence. It is innate call of instincts for self-actualization of potentials within, to attain excellence. It answers core question as ‘What’s Wrong’ with things around and within us, listing ways to use loneliness for happiness. Loneliness is fast emerging as one of the most debilitating reality of modern life and living. Most accept, there is something fundamentally wrong with what’s happening around us and with us. However, there seems no outright solution of the ‘trouble’ and it is spreading like wildfire. This is because, the popular perception about loneliness, as detrimental and dysfunctional realism is a misconception and an erroneous acceptance. When the question is wrong, the answer can never be right. First time, this book is out to challenge the very premise that loneliness is a bad and sad thing. This book definitively establishes that loneliness is a very facilitative mechanism of body-mind for larger wellness and personal excellence. It seeks to dispel this wrong cognition about the causality of loneliness as a problem. It logically explains as why the question, ‘How To Come Out Of Loneliness’ is a non-starter as the right question is – how to make the best out of this very empowering and beneficial realism called loneliness. The book draws emphatic and self-evident facts and reasoning from the domains of not only modern science but also from ancient wisdom of spiritual philosophies to prove that loneliness is a hugely empowering facility and faculty of human body-mind mechanism to align people to their best of wellness, potentials and excellence. This book also dwells in details on the core question as ‘What Is Fundamentally Wrong’ with happenings around us and within us. The approach of writing in this book is holistic, integrative and assimilative, drawing valuable resources from both traditional as well as modern wisdom. This writing technique is in perfect sync with the new thinking of the new millennium, which is based on the scientifically appropriate novel perceptions about the core notions called 3Cs –Consciousness, Cognition and Causality, helping humanity in understanding all realism in a new holistic perspective. After reading this book, it shall be accepted beyond any reasonable doubt that loneliness is a very positive realism as it is the innate call of instincts for self-actualization of potentials within, to attain the eternal bliss of Nirvana and be our best empowering consciousness to realize and attain life-living wellness and personal excellence.

By indulging in the experience of being alone, we can be inspired to find our own rewards and ultimately lead richer, fuller lives. Our fast-paced society does not approve of solitude; being alone is so often considered anti-social and some even find it sinister. Why is this so when autonomy, personal freedom and individualism are more highly prized than ever before? Sara Maitland answers this question in How to Be Alone by exploring changing attitudes throughout history. Offering experiments and strategies for overturning our fear of solitude, she helps us to practise it without anxiety and encourages us to see the benefits of spending time by ourselves. The School of Life looks at new ways of thinking about life’s biggest questions. Discover more fascinating books from the series with How to Stay Sane and How to Think More About Sex.

Originally published in 1967. Professor Sachs shows the inner coherence of Samuel Johnson's thought by pointing out the interconnectedness of his remarks on religious, moral, aesthetic, political, and psychological subjects. Reason and imagination, the central concepts in the Johnsonian ethos, are elucidated with reference to "vacuity," "attention," "novelty," "diversity," and other words to which Johnson attached special significance. Johnson emerges as an original thinker of the English Christian-humanist heritage; he "is to be read in the same spirit as Pascal." Primarily concerned with the relation between Johnson's ideas and the long tradition of which they are the culmination, Sachs also emphasizes the relevance of Johnson's thought to the twentieth century.

Breathe. Take as many breathes as you need. Embrace yourself for a remarkable journey of four women: Anna, Beauty, Cherish, and Destiny. Hear their pain, feel their tears, and see them go insane and rise back to claim all that was taken from them. The only protection a woman has is God. Their story shows that the only guidance that can lead a woman that’s broken back to her pieces is sisterhood. Anna was trapped by a life of sexual abuse. Beauty was cursed by physical jealousy, neglect, and abuse. Cherish was lost in a man-made crazy asylum. Destiny was burdened by a blackened soul unsure, now, of her own destiny. Can you catch the rhythm of their poetic flow? Breathe is a release, an exhale for all those that have been living in inhale, unable to breathe. Can you hear your pain in theirs? Do you share their tears? Have you gone insane and tried to claim all that was taken from you? Then breathe! It’s okay because you have four sisters that will exhale with you. Discover how it can honestly feel like the entire world is against you. Learn how to relate to a loved one’s pain. See the world through the eyes of four women that survived the horrors of this life with nothing to hold on to but true faith in God. Could you have survived some of their breathtaking tales?

The Psalm Meditations take up my own translation of the selected psalms based on the Hebrew Masoretic Text and a meditative reflection addressed, for the most part, to God. All but the last of these are in prose; the reflection on Psalm 66 has its own pattern. The Regula Vitae (Rule of Life) arose in response to a particular reading and served to reflect over aspects and qualities of my life as a pastor.

This book summary and analysis was created for individuals who want to extract the essential contents and are too busy to go through the full version. This book is not intended to replace the original book. Instead, we highly encourage you to buy the full version. In this relevant and enlightening book, bestselling author of Deep Work shares a philosophy for technology that has helped millions of lives. Digital minimalists exist everywhere—and they’re calm, happy people who can cultivate connections without constantly looking into their phones. They can completely focus on a good book, an artistic project, or even a leisurely morning run. They can enjoy with their friends and family without feeling the urge to use their phones to document it. They are always informed about the news but aren’t overwhelmed by it. They don’t fear missing out because they already know which ones give them meaning and satisfaction. Newport gave a name to this quiet revolution and create a persuasive case of its importance in the world saturated in technology. He provides simple advice—like turning off notification—or even having a “digital Sabbath” for us to get our sense of control back into our lives. He envisions a society where we can unplug completely without experiencing the demands of family, friends, and work. What we need is a conscious method to decide what tools we need, the purpose of those tools, and the conditions under which we’ll use them. Taking on diverse real-life examples, from Amish communities to stressed parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport shares the common practices of digital minimalists with ideas underpinning them. He shows that digital minimalists rethink their relationship with technology, rediscover the beauty of the offline world, and reconnect with their inner selves through periods of solitude. He also shares some insights on how we can integrate those practices in our own lives—which starts with a thirty-day “digital declutter.” Technology is neither good nor bad. What we need it to use it to help our goals and values rather than allowing it to use us. Digital Minimalism shows us how. Wait no more, take action and get this book now!

A meditation a day from Thomas Merton This convenient day book is a compendium of inspiring passages from the writings of one of this century's spiritual giants. It offers daily challenges for thoughtful meditation intended to stimulate, provoke, and lead to grace. Here are some enduring thoughts found in these pages: "We cannot be happy if we expect o live all the time at the highest peak of intensity. Happiness is not a matter of intensity, but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony." "Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul." "Nothing is more suspicious, in a man who seems holy, than an impatient desire to reform other men. Pay as little attention as you can to the faults of other people and none at all to their natural defects and eccentricities." "The wise heart lives in Christ." "Wisdom manifests itself, and yet is hidden. The more it hides, the more it is manifest; and the more it is manifest, the more it is hidden. For God is known where he is apprehended as unknown, and he is heard when we realize that we do not know the sound of his voice." "God utters me like a word containing a partial thought of himself." "Our full spiritual life is life in wisdom, life in Christ. The darkness of faith bears fruit in the light of wisdom." "Love cannot come of emptiness. It is full of reality."

The world is a mad place and the various vicissitudes of life appear to make it more so. The inherent mutability in nature can swing from the serendipitous to surreal malignity within a matter of moments. In this day and age, events can be ephemeral or appear so prolonged we are left, agonisingly, to wonder if they will ever terminate at all. To be lost in such a bewildering universe, when it feels impossible to gather oneself, to take stock of the changeability or to bear the interminable, we feel impotent, overwhelmed and wrongfully abused. Sanity and Solitude is one man's ramble through these frightful absurdities and contradictions that appear to confront us at every turn. To understand insanity one has to travel oneself to the very fringes of insanity itself for better or for worse. "We are the clouds that veil the midnight moon; How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver, Streaking the darkness radiantly!--yet soon Night closes round, and they are lost forever". (Percy Bysshe Shelley)
