What is the point? What is the purpose of life? Why must I suffer the stress, and anxiety that comes with it? Why does it all seem so hard and so unfair? If you have asked yourself any of these questions, then you have found the book you are looking for. There are answers to all of these questions and Anderson Silver has compiled teachings from Stoicism and other schools of thought in Your User's Manual. This refreshing collection not only gives the reader much sought after answers, but also provides the tools for finding purpose, and living an anxiety-free life in the modern world. Meant as a light read that the reader can come back to and meditate on periodically, Anderson has done a wonderful job of condensing fundamental teachings, making Your User's Manual a straightforward read in answering life's most pressing questions and recognizing what is truly important.

This is a contemporary, practical and relevant book about how to understand and apply the Bible in your everyday life. It is a superb book filled with biblically-based ways to achieve a significantly improved and healthier life. It is intentionally written using ordinary, everyday language, avoiding dogmatic, confusing and religious jargon. The book is not just for Christians, but anyone who desires to live a better life. This is not a book about religion, it is about how to effectively use the Bible to live a successful life. Evan Wride is an ordinary guy, who has read the Bible and uses it to manage his life. He is passionate, relentlessly practical and writes as if he is talking with a friend. His words, thoughts and perspectives are modern-day, heartfelt and action oriented. “Your Life User Manual” is a real-world look at the main issues we face as humans and specific ways the Bible answers them. The topics are a litany of our everyday concerns: setting priorities & plans, finances, time management, mental and physical health, addiction, love, marriage, children, dating, relationships, sex, career, co-workers, making good choices, our reason for being here and our individual uniqueness. This is not a counseling book, it is a book of God’s time proven direction for how to live productive lives. Too many of us rely on ourselves, others and society for wisdom and the results are less than satisfactory. Going to the source for answers provides you with knowledge, wisdom and purpose for your, one and only, life. We have all contemplated that there must be more to life in order to achieve the meaning and significance we are all searching for. This book will specifically direct you in how to learn to "do life" according to the Bible, which will transform your life so you can become all you were intended to be. You will discover how to live your best life.

How can we think of life in its dual expression, matter and experience, the living and the lived? Philosophers and, more recently, social scientists have offered multiple answers to this question, often privileging one expression or the other – the biological or the biographical. But is it possible to conceive of them together and thus reconcile naturalist and humanist approaches? Using research conducted on three continents and engaging in critical dialogue with Wittgenstein, Benjamin, and Foucault, Didier Fassin attempts to do so by developing three concepts: forms of life, ethics of life, and politics of life. In the conditions of refugees and asylum seekers, in the light of mortality statistics and death benefits, and via a genealogical and ethnographical inquiry, the moral economy of life reveals troubling tensions in the way contemporary societies treat human beings. Once the pieces of this anthropological composition are assembled, like in Georges Perec’s jigsaw puzzle, an image appears: that of unequal lives.

From the ordered universe of the ancient Greeks to the shadows of Nietzsche's nineteenth century, LEARNING TO LIVE shakes the dust from the history of philosophy and takes us on a fascinating journey through more than two millennia of humanity's search for understanding - of the world around us and of each other. Both a sparkling and accessible history of Western thought, and a courageous dissection of how religion and philosophy have converged and clashed through the ages, Luc Ferry's blueprint for a new humanism challenges every one of us to learn to think for ourselves, and asks us the most important question of all: how can we live better?

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER From one of our greatest voices in modern philosophy, author of The Course of Love, The Consolations of Philosophy, Religion for Atheists and The School of Life - an accessible and eye-opening exploration of our relationship with 'the news' 'His gift is to prompt us to think about how we live and how we might change things' The Times 'De Botton analyses modern society with great charm, learning and humour. His remedies come as a welcome relief' Daily Mail 'Like all classic de Botton, there are plenty of insightful observations here, peppered with some psychology, a dash of philosophy, a big dollop of commonsense' Scotsman 'The news' occupies a range of manic and peculiar positions in our lives. We invest it with an authority and importance which used to be the preserve of religion - but what does it do for us? Mixing current affairs with philosophical reflections, de Botton offers a brilliant illustrated guide to the precautions we should take before venturing anywhere near the news and the 'noise' it generates. Witty and global in reach, The News will ensure you'll never look at reports of a celebrity story or political scandal in quite the same way again.
