Humankind has always wrestled with the existence of suffering. For two centuries, many American ministers, physicians, and scientists believed that an omnipotent and omniscient God created the world such that people might relieve suffering through ingenuity and learning. Others responded to the new worldview introduced by the scientific revolution as a threat to the divine order. In Imagining Progress, Kristin Johnson traces the history of Americans' evolving relationship with science and religion at "one of its most dramatic places"—the bedsides of dying children.

We know science is awesome, as are its achievements. Yet so far, scientists have managed to sidestep the most awesome reality of all: the true nature of human life, the source of their own genius. How is it that in the overwhelming immensity of the cosmos, on microscopic Earth, human beings exist? We have not yet looked reality in the face and perceived the nobility and grandeur of who we are, each of us having a responsibility in the universe and being part of a vast and continuing process.

"Il vero potere è l'umiltà". "L'eloquenza eccessiva, dimostra debolezza". Ma soprattutto, "il vuoto... può contenere tutto!" Pensaci su! In questa raccolta tratta dai alcuni dei più celebri pensieri di Lao Tse, forse il più importante filosofo cinese mai esistito, gli spunti di riflessione sono diversi. A volte pungenti come spine, a volte dolci come il miele; tutti comunque, allo stesso modo, accarezzano l'animo, quietano lo spirito, e danno una giusta collocazione all'uomo, alla sua vita, ai suoi sentimenti, alle sue relazioni.

I am tired of relying on pharmaceuticals and chemicals to deal with every day common illness, from a cold to a headache to high blood pressure. Every medication we use, no matter how common or well-researched, comes with intended and unintended effects.

Human beings are the greatest natural resource on the planet. If it sometimes doesn’t seem that way, it’s because our inherent wealth is hidden under layers of confusion. Much of what we mistake for reality is really a jumble of the tendencies, attitudes, and preconceptions that are part of our individual human baggage. Although we may understand this, we usually believe our thoughts accurately reflect reality. This hidden assumption is a major cause of confusion, which gives rise to conflicts - in our society, in the larger world, and at times within ourselves.
