Personal Philosophy

What about the teachers who stay? Teachers are leaving! There is a teacher shortage! … and still… Every year we celebrate the careers of veteran teachers who are retiring after thirty or more rewarding years of serving students and staff in their communities and local school districts. What about them? What about the teachers who stay? What if we asked these veteran teachers about their perseverance? What kept them going? What helped them overcome the challenges of changing societal pressures for—and perceptions of—teachers?

Im dritten Band seiner Bestsellerreihe über die stoischen Tugenden erkundet Ryan Holiday die entscheidende Rolle, die Integrität in jedem guten Leben spielt. Von Vorbildern des aufrechten Lebens wie Ulysses S. Grant, Ghandi und Mark Aurel bis hin zu den als Warnung dienenden Geschichten von Napoleon und F. Scott Fitzgerald zeigt uns dieses Hörbuch die Macht, die wir haben, wenn wir zu unseren Überzeugungen stehen und in Übereinstimmung mit ihnen handeln – und die Gefahren eines schlecht entwickelten Gewissens.

Die Kunst der Gelassenheit. Wie gehen wir entspannter mit der Welt, mit uns selbst und mit anderen um? Diese Grundfrage der Menschheit beantwortet der bekannte Philosophie-Berater und Autor Albert Kitzler, indem er uns den antiken Philosophen Seneca als Lehrer fürs Hier und Heute nahebringt. Als wohl bekanntester Vertreter des Stoizismus ist die Lehre Senecas auch nach fast 2000 Jahren noch aktuell. Kitzler stellt uns in dieser praktischen Anleitung zu einem gelasseneren Leben eine Philosophie vor, die uns ganz konkret in der Navigation des Alltags hilft.

Viața bună poate fi aventura vieții tale, dacă nu este deja. Vei găsi aici un prieten bun și critic spre a scoate adevărul din tine, adevărul de sine. Un prieten egal ție, totuși, mai antrenat în virtute, spre care te cheamă. Norocul nostru e mare: culturii române i-a luat sute de ani să aibă cartea de etică pe care o avem acum în mâini, cartea de filosofie morală contemporană care face dreptate, dar mai ales bine anticului din noi. Viața bună, dacă știm a o citi spre a o trăi, va fi una a libertății, autentică, trudind în fericire.

In an increasingly polarised world, asking better questions in our daily and working lives is a radical shortcut to personal and professional success. It can create space for us to rethink our positions, find answers together and even change our minds for the better.

In How Children Succeed, Paul Tough introduced us to research showing that personal qualities like perseverance, self-control, and conscientiousness play a critical role in children's success. Now, in Helping Children Succeed, Tough takes on a new set of pressing questions: What does growing up in poverty do to children's mental and physical development? How does adversity at home affect their success in the classroom, from preschool to high school?

In questo audiolibro sono raccolti i due capolavori di Joseph Murphy: "Il Potere del Subconscio Tecniche scientifiche che ti permetteranno di utilizzare le forze illimitate del tuo Subconscio" e "Energia Cosmica: il potere miracoloso dell'universo". Perché un uomo è triste mentre un altro è felice? Perché un uomo è contento e prospera mentre un altro è avvilito e indigente?

Power lifts the mood. It motivates us to take charge and liberates us to be our authentic selves. It means wealth, ability, choice, fame, influence, dominance, authority, rank, and prestige. Powerlessness depresses the mood. It stifles the self by making it subservient to other people’s wills. It is at the core of many social ills - from poverty to anxiety, workplace problems to marital discord. The lack of power can damage our health - both mental and physical - and even shorten our lives.

It ought not to be necessary to ask a man if he likes his work. The radiance of his face should tell that. His very buoyancy and pride in his task, his spirit of unbounded enthusiasm and zest ought to show it.

These provocative questions are at the forefront of philosophical discussions all around the world. The author explains in detail, with examples through the ages, how and why man turns to evil and explore the consequences of evil actions.

Whether self-knowledge is a decision to mature or even if it is a decision for us to be recognised by our environment, the variety of the subject-matter proposes introspections with a view to understanding. For there is a crucial distinction between what one knows and what one has established as a position. Led astray by formulas of improvement, human beings lose the strength of their established position. The established position is derived from the essence of their ETHOS and not from the achievement of expediencies for survival.
