Finding your ikigai—the thing that makes you jump out of bed in the morning—is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. The concept of ikigai is closely linked to the idea of finding one's passion in life. If you want to live a life of meaning and passion, you’ll have to start by facing your deepest fears and desiring a life worth living. If you don’t have this desire, your life becomes a journey of self-improvement with nothing else to define you. In this audiobook, you will learn what Ikigai is all about.

In 2018, I had a dream of a coming second American Revolution/Civil War. In this dream, I saw events that are now unfolding at a rapid pace. I saw the conclusion of our present trauma, and the triumph over the evil that has been subduing our land. I saw how this victory will be accomplished. This is what I saw.

As we open up to life and love and each other, as we awaken from our dream of separation, we encounter not just the bliss of existence, but its pain, too; not only life's ecstasy, but also its agony. Healing doesn't always feel good or comfortable or even "spiritual", for we are inevitably forced to confront our shadows, fears, and deepest longings - those secret parts of ourselves that we have denied, repressed, or deemed "negative" and unworthy of our love.

In einer Einbahnstraße gibt es keinen Gegenverkehr. Und von einer neuen Erkenntnis geht es nicht rückwärts! Walter Benjamins 'Einbahnstraße' führt an zahlreichen Denkanstößen entlang, hin zu richtungsweisenden Erkenntnissen - für jeden, der sich darauf einlässt. 'Einbahnstraße' ist zunächst einmal Kurzprosa - eine Sammlung von Gedanken, von Notizen, ein Kaleidoskop von literarisch-philosophischen Miniaturen, eine Präsentation von 'Denkbildern', essayistische Feinkost. Das 1928 erschienene Werk ist thematisch breit angelegt und hat viele Bezüge zu unserer aktuellen Gegenwart.

Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits was originally published in 1878. The work is Nietzsche's first in the aphoristic style and discusses a range of concepts in brief paragraphs. It represents the start of Nietzsche's "middle period", in which he breaks with German Romanticism and Wagner.

Voici le jardin du philosophe. On y cueillera des fruits mûris sur le tronc de la sagesse commune et dorés à cette autre lumiére des idées. Ils en reprennent leur saveur d'origine, qui est le goût de l'existence. Saveur oubliée en nos pensées ; car on voudrait s'assurer que l'existence est bonne et on ne le peut ; on en décoit donc l'espérance par précaution, prononcant qu'elle est mauvaise.

Our ability to find meaning in things is one of the most important aspects of human life. But it is also one of the most mysterious. Where does meaning come from? What sorts of things have meaning? And how do we grasp the meaning others want to convey? Meaning: A Very Short Introduction is shaped by exploring possible answers to these questions.

Is stress a deadly disease on the rise in modern society? Can mind-body practices from the East help us become well? When it comes to healing, we believe we must look beyond doctors and drugs; we must look within ourselves. Faith, relationships, and attitude matter. But why do we believe such things? From psychoanalysis to the placebo effect to meditation, this vibrant cultural history describes mind-body healing as rooted in a patchwork of stories, allowing us to make new sense of our suffering and to rationalize new treatments and lifestyles.

The seven chakras are your body’s main energy sources. The chakras are like the epicenters of the different kinds of energy your body has. Individually and as a group, they promote harmony between your spirit, your mind, and your body. Every single form of stress in your life can be attributed to some form of "blockage" in one or more of your chakras. If left untreated, these blockages can severely negatively impact your way of life.

"Le titre de cette conférence est "L'âme et le corps", c'est-à-dire la matière et l'esprit, c'est-à-dire tout ce qui existe et même, s'il faut en croire une philosophie dont nous parlerons tout à l'heure, quelque chose aussi qui n'existerait pas. Mais rassurez-vous. Notre intention n'est pas d'approfondir la nature de la matière, pas plus d'ailleurs que la nature de l'esprit. On peut distinguer deux choses l'une de l'autre, et en déterminer jusqu'à un certain point les rapports, sans pour cela connaître la nature de chacune d'elles.

This book invites you into a realm where green life—plants, forests, moss, roots, and leaves—take on voice and meaning, forming a hidden structure that slips past the limits of ordinary perception. In this territory, plants are no longer mere scenery or passive decoration. They emerge as full participants in the world’s unfolding story. They send signals and make decisions. They remember, nurture, and maintain connections in silence. They think—but their thought is not a spark of sudden brilliance; it is a slow, continuous current.

The Analysis of the Mind by Bertrand Russell is a collection of 15 lectures he delivered in 1920. Russell was a highly reputed philosopher, mathematician, and social critic, and would go on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.

The consciousness is far bigger than once perceived. We have lived our whole life thinking and believing that the brain was at the center core of all that is and all that will ever be in this life. Science, medicine, and spirituality have afforded us the truth about what causal is and based on that where you are going. Consciousness, soul, and spirit are fundamental in this universe. Knowing this, take a moment, contemplate: where are you, where are you going?

When trying to deal with our current troubles and anxieties, it can be deeply irritating to be asked to consider our childhoods. They happened so long ago; we can probably barely remember, let alone relate to, the little person we once were. But one of the most powerful explanations for why we may, as adults, be struggling, is that we were denied the opportunity to fully be ourselves in our earliest years. This book is a guide to better understanding our younger selves in order to shape who we wish to be in the future.
