In his twenties, Dave Asprey battled debilitating brain fog and chronic fatigue syndrome. Frustrated by his broken brain, he embarked on a lifelong quest to upgrade his “MeatOS”—to fix his brain, biohack his biology to live past the age of 180, and push the boundaries of human potential. Asprey discovered that cultivating a mentally and physically healthy life depends on a solid grounding for our inner life. Now, in this, his sixth book, he shares the mind-blowing discoveries he has found.

The world we live in presents itself as orderly, predictable, and governed by consistent rules—gravity pulls downward, the sun rises in the east, and time moves steadily forward. Our daily experience, guided by logic, memory, and sensory feedback, creates a sense of permanence and coherence that we seldom stop to question. We trust in this continuity because it is the foundation upon which our understanding of reality is built. But what happens when, for the briefest of moments, reality falters?

"Love is the desire for the perpetual possession of the good." These timeless words echo through the ages, inviting listeners to explore one of the most profound questions of human existence. What is love? Is it a mere passion of the body, or a divine force that elevates the soul? In The Symposium, Plato takes us to an ancient Athenian banquet where the finest minds of the classical world—philosophers, poets, and politicians—gather to unravel this enigma.

— “Hasta los treinta años se vive para el amor; de los treinta a los cuarenta para la ambición; de los cincuenta en adelante para el estómago y los recuerdos.” A Maximiliano de Habsburgo (1832-1867) se le recuerda principalmente por su trágico Imperio Mexicano que terminó con su fusilamiento en el Cerro de las Campanas. Antes de trasladarse a América, fue un joven marinero inquieto, estudioso y observador que se dedicó a viajar por el viejo mundo, a escribir sus memorias y a prepararse para aquello que desde niño se le dijo que era su destino: llevar una corona en su cabeza...

In 1910, when the industrialists and intelligentsia both promised only “progress,” G. K. Chesterton was among the few in the West who could see the brewing ideological storms that would soon make landfall, not just in the form of world wars and totalitarianism but in the pervasive modern dehumanization that consumes us to this day. More than a century ago, Chesterton perceived the beginnings of “woke capital” and how it aligns with and promotes social progressivism. There is an unspoken alliance between big business and progressives, he explains.

What if reality is not something you simply witness—but something you actively refract? In Refractions of the Real: A Manual for Self-Directed Beings, philosopher Kevin L. Michel invites you to step beyond passive “truth-seeking” and master the hidden prism of perception that colors every moment of your life. Blending Stoic clarity, Hermetic principles, and flashes of Nietzschean insight, Michel shows how the light of the world and the lens of the mind together create the spectrum we call “reality.”Inside, you’ll discover how to: See through first impressions – train the eye ...

The Dignity of Difference was the first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization. At the time of writing, the politics of identity had began to replace the politics of ideology that dominated the globe in the twentieth-century. Now Rabbi Sack’s heartfelt, clear-sighted and radical proposal for how we might reconcile our differences without violence is as relevant as ever. In it, Sacks argues that we must do more than just search for values common to all faiths.

In Plato and the Tyrant, acclaimed historian and classicist James Romm draws on personal letters of Plato to show how a philosopher helped topple the leading Greek power of the era: the opulent city of Syracuse. There, Plato encountered two authoritarian rulers, a father and son both named Dionysius, and tried to steer them toward philosophy. At the same time, he worked on his masterpiece, Republic, in which he conceived a ruler who unites perfect wisdom with absolute power.

Let’s get back to basics. We celebrate our improbable 10th anniversary with a letter from Listener Scott, who has a lot of questions about his son’s book “Science Comics: Robots and Drones.” John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Kant pornește de la un conflict permanent în gândirea metafizică – încercarea de a demonstra rațional existența lui Dumnezeu, nemurirea sufletului sau libertatea voinței – și propune o schimbare de paradigmă: nu ne mai concentrăm pe obiectele presupuse ale cunoașterii, ci pe condițiile subiectului care cunoaște. Astfel ia naștere Idealismul transcendental, adică ideea că timpul, spațiul și categoriile gândirii (cele 12 faimoase structuri ale intelectului) nu sunt realități ale lumii exterioare, ci forme ale minții noastre, condiții ale posibilității experienței. ...

We often frame societal risks in terms of immediate, visible threats: pandemics, climate disasters, or geopolitical conflicts. Yet one of humanity’s most persistent dangers—economic inequality—rarely occupies the same urgency in public discourse.David Lay Williams’ compelling book, The Greatest of All Plagues: How Economic Inequality Shaped Political Thought from Plato to Marx, challenges this oversight by excavating an important truth: for over two millennia, the West’s greatest minds have sounded alarms about concentrated wealth’s corrosive effects on societies.From Plato’s ...
