  • - En håndbog fra antikken
    af Epiktet
    123,95 kr.

    Du bestemmer ikke alt, hvad der sker i dit liv. Nogle gange slår livet kolbøtter og du skal håndtere kriser eller en grad af modgang, du ikke selv havde drømt om. Andre gange er livet fyldt af uendelige pligter og rutiner, der er tæt på at fortære al livskraft.Ingen kan bestemme eller forudsige, hvordan livet vil arte sig. Men det er muligt at blive bevidst om, hvordan du vil møde det. Epiktet var i sit liv først underlagt en tilværelse som slave, før han blev lærer i filosofi. Som repræsentant for stoisk livsfilosofi tilbyder han leveregler, der giver styrke til at håndtere livets skæbnesvangre øjeblikke og oplevelse af kaos.Stoicismen er populær som aldrig før i en tid, hvor mange oplever at blive presset fra alle sider. Det er oplagt med Epiktets originale værk at gå direkte til kilden og finde tanker om overblik, fornuft og mod til at gå imod strømmen. Kort sagt at opbygge en evig gyldig sindsro, der kan dæmpe al larmen.Med forord af Niels Overgaard, forfatter til Det hele handler ikke om dig.

  • - Hvordan vi lærte at tro, at vi ingenting kan
    af Dennis Nørmark
    148,95 - 270,95 kr.

    Dennis Nørmark afdækker i denne bog, hvad ufrihed er.Han mener, at vores liv aldrig har været så regulerede og administrerede som i dag. Vi tror, vi er frie, men vi har reelt ikke meget frihed. De mange regler, der styrer vores gøren og laden, efterlader det moderne menneske med en følelse af utilstrækkelighed og en usikkerhed på egne evner. Hvis vi skal blive frie, livsduelige mennesker, skal vi sættes fri fra den enorme overadministration, som vores samfund og vores arbejdspladser pålægger os. Først da bliver vi frie ansvarlige mennesker, der kan skabe gode fællesskaber.I bogen ser Dennis Nørmark på de argumenter, vi er blevet præsenteret for, som har fået os til at opgive vores frihed. Vi har fået at vide, at det kræver styring, kontrol, hierarkier og afmålt ufrihed at nå op på et højt samfundsmæssigt udviklingsstadie. Vi har fået at vide, at mennesket udvikler sig grusomt og hensynsløst uden styring og administration. Almindelige menneskers viden og erfaring bliver tilsidesat til fordel for storslåede samfundsplaner udtænkt af en overklasse af administratorer og ledere, der selv har draget fordel af at nedvurdere almindelige menneskers evne til at indrette sig, som de vil.Når man ikke tillader frihed, men hele tiden lader flere regler komme til, fralægger mennesker sig deres moralske ansvar og bliver ligeglade. Frihed må ikke blive til individualisme, men skal ansvarliggøre os over for hinanden, så vi kan skabe frie selvregulerende fællesskaber og sætte mennesket fri fra overadministration.Det er ikke friheden, der er dyr, men ufriheden. Ikke bare fordi administrationen af andre menneskers liv beslaglægger milliarder hvert eneste år, men også fordi det vænner vores medborgere, medarbejdere og vores egne børn til tanken om, at de er udygtige og inkompetente.

  • - Things that Gain from Disorder
    af Nassim Nicholas Taleb
    126,95 kr.

    Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls antifragile are things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish.In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. Here Taleb stands uncer tainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resil ient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better.What's more, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call "e;efficient"e; not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems and medicine, drawing on modern street wisdom and ancient sources.Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world.Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: the antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to problems of uncertainty, probability, and knowledge and has led three careers around this focus, as a businessman-trader, a philosophical essayist, and an academic researcher. Although he now spends most of his time working in intense seclusion in his study, in the manner of independent scholars, he is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's Polytechnic Institute. His main subject matter is "e;decision making under opacity,"e; that is, a map and a protocol on how we should live in a world we don't understand.His books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in thirty-three languages.Taleb believes that prizes, honorary degrees, awards, and ceremonialism debase knowledge by turning it into a spectator sport.

  • af Lars Reinhardt Møller
    139,95 - 185,95 kr.

    Specialstyrker og deres operationer er omgivet af hemmeligheder og myter. Hvad lavede specialstyrkerne under Den Kolde Krig? Hvad laver de i dag? Oberst Lars Møller gennemgår deres udvikling, tankerne bag korpsene og fortæller nogle af de helt utrolige historier, der har været medvirkende til at danne myterne. Hvem ved for eksempel, at forfædrene til de amerikanske SEAL-specialstyrker og til de danske frømænd er italienske specialstyrker, der under Anden Verdenskrig ændrede styrkeforholdet i Middelhavet? "Specialoperationer" handler om de vanskeligste og mest umulige, men også helt afgørende indsatser, der ydes af specialkorps som frøerne og jægerne. Med konkrete eksempler hentet fra historien og fra soldaterne, skrevet af Oberst Lars Møller, forfatter til bl.a. "Operation Bøllebank", "Vi slår ihjel og lever med det" og "Snigskytter".

  • - Epistulae Morales Ad Lucilium
    af Seneca
    123,95 - 146,95 kr.

    A philosophy that saw self-possession as the key to an existence lived "in accordance with nature", Stoicism called for restraint of animal instincts and severing of emotional ties. Seneca's contribution to a seemingly unsympathetic creed was to transform it into an inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.

  • af Epictetus
    106,95 kr.

    Epictetus, a Greek stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicropolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by Arrian, his most famous pupil. Together with the Enchiridion, a manual of his main ideas, and the fragments collected here, The Discourses argue that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and nature. In this personal, practical guide to the ethics of stoicism and moral self-improvement, Epictetus tackles questions of freedom and imprisonment, illness and fear, family, friendship and love, and leaves an intriguing document of daily life in the classical world.

  • af Friedrich Nietzsche
    123,95 - 146,95 kr.

    'One of the greatest books of a very great thinker' Michael TannerBeyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects traditional Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche seeks to demonstrate that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world.Translated by R. J. HOLLINGDALE With an Introduction by MICHAEL TANNER

  • af Albert Camus
    108,95 - 118,95 kr.

    In this profound and moving philosophical statement, Camus poses the fundamental question: Is life worth living? If human existence holds no significance, what can keep us from suicide?As Camus argues, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, humans must take on that purpose themselves. This is our 'absurd' task, like Sisyphus forever rolling his rock up a hill, as the inevitability of death constantly overshadows us. Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War, The Myth of Sisyphus argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty.This volume contains several other essays, including lyrical evocations of the sunlit cities of Algiers and Oran, the settings of his great novels The Outsider and The Plague.Albert Camus is the author of a number of best-selling and highly influential works, all of which are published by Penguin. They include The Fall, The Outsider and The First Man. He is remembered as one of the few writers to have shaped the intellectual climate of post-war France, but beyond that, his fame has been international.Translated by Justin O'BrienWith an Introduction by James Wood

  • - Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion
    af Jonathan Haidt
    126,95 kr.

    In The Righteous Mind, psychologist Jonathan Haidt answers some of the most compelling questions about human relationships:Why can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe? Why do ideas such as 'fairness' and 'freedom' mean such different things to different people? Why is it so hard to see things from another viewpoint? Why do we come to blows over politics and religion?Jonathan Haidt reveals that we often find it hard to get along because our minds are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous. He explores how morality evolved to enable us to form communities, and how moral values are not just about justice and equality - for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty matter more. Morality binds and blinds, but, using his own research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people.'A landmark contribution to humanity's understanding of itself' The New York Times'A truly seminal book' David Goodhart, Prospect'A tour de force - brave, brilliant, and eloquent. It will challenge the way you think about liberals and conservatives, atheism and religion, good and evil' Paul Bloom, author of How Pleasure Works 'Compelling . . . a fluid combination of erudition and entertainment' Ian Birrell, Observer'Lucid and thought-provoking ... deserves to be widely read' Jenni Russell, Sunday Times
