Self Philosophy

Marcus Aurelius, one of the great rulers of the Roman Empire, sets forth a series of self-reflective essays intended as a guide for his own self-improvement. Written during the turning points of his life and divided into twelve books, Meditations ponders life’s greatest questions in the author’s search for a meaningful existence. Remarkably, they are no different from the questions we ask ourselves today - from finding happiness to understanding our place in the cosmos. Centuries after Aurelius’s death, Meditations remains a profound source of inspiration.

Oft werden wir im Alltagsstress von unseren Gefühlen übermannt und wissen nicht, wie wir mit unseren Ängsten umgehen oder unsere innere Stärke wiederfinden können. Hier kann die stoische Philosophie eine große Hilfe sein. Schon in der Antike war sie eine der erfolgreichsten lebensphilosophischen Schulen. Um 300 vor Christus von Zenon von Kition gegründet und von großen Denkern wie Seneca, Mark Aurel und Epiktet vertreten, ist sie bis heute unschlagbar in ihrer stringenten Art, Gelassenheit und Gleichmut gegenüber den Untiefen des Lebens zu vermitteln.

In his second book in a philosophically guided series, Ray W. Lincoln guides the listener through their first and most important task in a world-changing mission: namely, to learn how to think straight (and teach straight thinking) and combat the insurgence of crooked thinking in our culture and in our world today. "If we become passive victims of this crooked way of thinking," he says, "we promote it. If we remain silent, we also give it credence."

Medieval philosophy is primarily associated today with university-based disputations and the authorities cited in those disputations. In their own time, however, scholastic debates were recognized as just one part of wide-ranging philosophical and theological discussions. A Hidden Wisdom breaks new ground by drawing attention to another crucial component of these conversations: the Christian contemplative tradition.

Die meisten merken, dass in ihrem Leben was schiefläuft, wissen aber nicht, wie sie etwas zum Positiven ändern können. Und in genau dieser Situation war Daniel Bosshard. Wie er den Weg aus dieser Position rausgefunden hat, zeigt er in dem Buch "Passepartout". Dabei geht er nicht hochwissenschaftlich und belehrend vor, sondern zeigt in lockerem Sprachstil auf, wie er zu einem besseren Ich gefunden hat und was man aus seiner Geschichte ableiten kann. Dabei geht es viel um Selbstbesinnung und -reflexion, toxische Verbindungen, aber auch Philosophie oder Lebensstil.
