Her life gets even more complicated when she meets Michael Sorenson, the real Lia's childhood best friend.

What are the origins of the idea of human rights and universal human dignity? How can we most fully understand and realize these rights going into the future? Internationally renowned sociologist and social theorist Hans Joas tells a story that differs from conventional narratives by tracing the concept of human rights back to the Judeo-Christian tradition or, alternately, to the secular French Enlightenment. Joas sets out a new path, proposing an affirmative genealogy in which human rights are the result of a process of "sacralization" of every human being.

Konrad Michel, a leading psychiatrist and acclaimed expert, draws on decades of experience to offer necessary new ways of understanding—and preventing—suicide. Michel shows that suicide is not just a consequence of mental illness, but an action related to a person’s life story. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with suicidal patients, he argues that suicide and suicide attempts occur when someone experiences extreme emotional pain that severely impairs the ability to think and act rationally.

When the noted thinker, author, and philanthropist, Valiant Thor, dictated this book almost a century ago, he was just settling into his role as commander of the Venusian forces on Earth.

Human progress has been haphazard and inefficient, driven by chance and marred by wasteful use of resources, conflict, and suffering. Today, billions still live in poverty, and we face existential threats from global catastrophic risks such as climate change, nuclear war, AI mismanagement, and pandemics. The current global order lacks the coordination needed to tackle these threats effectively. This is not acceptable. Humanity's potential is immense, and it is far too soon for us to face our end without striving for more.
