Eckhart Tolle rappresenta la sintesi perfetta fra millenni di saggezza e il sentire contemporaneo: con una chiarezza e un'efficacia straordinarie, condensa nelle sue pagine gli insegnamenti dei grandi della storia del pensiero, da Buddha a Gesù, ma anche Shakespeare e, perché no, i Rolling Stones. Il suo messaggio è tanto semplice quanto capace di rivoluzioni, interiori ed esteriori. Basta spegnere il rumore di fondo che affolla di pensieri la nostra mente, abbracciare il presente scrollandosi di dosso l'ingombro del nostro ego.

In this brief treatise, prolific New Thought author Christian Larson explores the sheer power of maintaining a positive attitude. As the author says: "Resolve to please yourself by being glad, and you can add immeasurably to your happiness in this simple manner. You must remember that the fountain of joy within your own soul is infinitely greater than all external sources of joy combined."

Als Rousseau 1765 der Bitte seines Verlegers nachkam, seine Lebensgeschichte zu Papier zu bringen, konnte er nicht ahnen, dass seine Bekenntnisse noch Jahrhunderte später als Schlüsselwerk gelten würden. Zum ersten Mal boten die niedergeschriebenen Erinnerungen eines Schriftstellers mehr als allgemeine Gedanken zu Gesellschaft und Religion. Sie wurden zur präzisen Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Persönlichkeit. Das intime Psychogramm des Pädagogen und Philosophen Rousseau in der Lesung von Joachim Höppner bietet mehr als 30 Stunden Hörgenuss.

Mit den Mädchen hat es die Natur auf Das, was man im dramaturgischen Sinne, einen Knalleffekt nennt, abgesehen, indem sie dieselben, auf wenige Jahre, mit überreichlicher Schönheit, Reiz und Fülle ausstattet, auf Kosten ihrer ganzen übrigen Lebenszeit, damit sie nämlich, während jener Jahre, der Phantasie eines Mannes sich in dem Maße bemächtigen könnten, dass er hingerissen wird, die Sorge für sie auf Zeit Lebens, in irgend einer Form, ehrlich zu übernehmen; zu welchem Schritte ihn zu vermögen, die bloße vernünftige Überlegung keine hinlänglich sichere Bürgschaft zu geben schien.

Este é o resumo de Vita contemplativa ou sobre a inatividade. Estamos perdendo nossa capacidade de não fazer nada. Nossa existência é completamente absorvida pela atividade e, portanto, totalmente explorada. Como só percebemos a vida em termos de desempenho, tendemos a interpretar a inatividade como um déficit, uma negação ou uma mera ausência de atividade quando, muito pelo contrário, é uma capacidade independente interessante.

Este é o resumo de Não-coisas. O livro gira em torno de coisas e não-coisas.

Ao mesmo tempo, recupera a magia do sólido e do tangível e reflete sobre o silêncio que se perde no ruído da informação.

Theresia Enzensberger kann nicht schlafen. Also schreibt sie ein Buch über den Schlaf und folgt dabei den verschiedenen Stadien, die wir in der Nacht durchleben. So beginnt sie in der zähneknirschenden Leichtschlafphase mit einem Essay über die Moralisierung von Schlaf, Traum als politische Metapher und die Folgen allgemeinen Schlafmangels. Fast unmerklich wird ihr Text in der Tiefschlafphase privater, innerlicher, und eröffnet uns eine intensivere, persönlichere Sicht auf die Welt, die Kunst, die Literatur.

In "Life is real only then, when I am" Gurdjieff gives answers to the fundamental human questions: how do I really live and what are the requirements to lead a real life? What is reality? What is existence? Has every man a given I or what must he do to acquire a real I? First of all, we have to accept that we are not awake, but asleep. The vast majority of mankind never awakens through its whole life. Only those are given the chance to become awake, who fight for it with their whole hearts and beings.

Shaun Gallagher offers an account of psychopathologies as disorders of the self. The Self and its Disorders develops an interdisciplinary approach to an "integrative" perspective in psychiatry. In contrast to some integrative approaches that focus on narrow brain-based conceptions, or on symptomology, this book takes its bearings from embodied and enactive conceptions of human experience.

The second-century Greek physician Galen—the most famous doctor in antiquity after Hippocrates—is a central figure in Western medicine. A talented doctor, surgeon, writer, philosopher, teacher, pharmacologist, and inventor, Galen attended the court of Marcus Aurelius, living through outbreaks of plague that devastated the Roman Empire. He also served as a physician for professional gladiators. In writings that provided the foundation of Western medicine up to the nineteenth century, Galen created a unified account of health and disease.
