Wer bist du wirklich? Was ist deine Lebensaufgabe? Wie schaffst du es, Frieden, Erfüllung und innere Heilung zu finden? Geht es um die Harmonie mit sich selbst und dem ganzen Universum, stoßen sowohl zeitgenössische Selbstoptimierungsprogramme als auch therapeutische Verfahren an ihre Grenzen.

Shalom amigos! Vamos a empezar una jornada. Una jornada al increíble y fascinante mundo del Hebreo Bíblico.

Shalom, friends! Let's start a journey. A journey into the incredible and fascinating world of Biblical Hebrew.

When Yeshua told the little girl to get up, he said "Talitha Kum" (Mark 5:41). When he shouts from the stake, he says "Eloi Eloi Sabachthani" (Mark 15:34). That's Hebrew, friends.

The book looks at death from the perspectives of atheists, Christians, and Tibetan Buddhists, among many others.

Do we need the rules of religion in order to be good people? The German philosopher Immanuel Kant tackles this question in his 1793 text Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason. More than 200 years later, it is still a key text in the shaping of Western religious thought, as well as Kant's most direct discussion of religious themes. Kant tries to look at religious practices in relation to the Enlightenment movement and its firmly held beliefs in the power of reason and personal liberty.
