Told through the eyes of a parent who started out by doing everything wrong, Wild Things is about how we can help all kids find the joy in reading.

Power lifts the mood. It motivates us to take charge and liberates us to be our authentic selves. It means wealth, ability, choice, fame, influence, dominance, authority, rank, and prestige. Powerlessness depresses the mood. It stifles the self by making it subservient to other people’s wills. It is at the core of many social ills - from poverty to anxiety, workplace problems to marital discord. The lack of power can damage our health - both mental and physical - and even shorten our lives.

Neste livro Schopenhauer apresenta 38 estratégias sobre a arte de vencer um oponente num debate, não importando os meios, utilizando a maior ferramenta que possuímos; a palavra. É possível recorrer a estes estratagemas, lícitos e ilícitos, para 'obter' razão, e defendê-la quando ela estiver do nosso lado ou conquistá-la quando estiver do lado do adversário.

What we experience as “waking consciousness” is only a fraction of the total scope of consciousness available to us. This audiobook will introduce you to the concept of turiya, or pure consciousness, and explain how you can tap into this vast storehouse of knowledge and awareness. Most of us go through life without ever suspecting that there’s a higher level of consciousness that we can access.
