What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant? How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us?

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 88 In the early days of World War II, a Russian exile in London was asked to talk to Anglican theological students about suffering; this booklet is the text of that talk. Underlying all that Iulia de Beausobre had to say is the assumption that ’something can be made of suffering’, as Patrick Thompson wrote in his Foreword to the original edition. She did not speak from hearsay, having shared personally in the mental and physical suffering of the Russian people in the first half of the twentieth century. She had already described something of that experience in The...

Este escrito representa mi intento por comprender por qué el mundo no cambia cuando uno quiere cambiarlo, y por qué está bien que así sea. Lejos de ofrecer soluciones, propone una actitud que combina la confianza en que todo tiene un orden —aunque no lo comprendamos del todo— con la duda permanente sobre nuestras propias certezas: el optimismo escéptico. No se trata de una contradicción, sino de un equilibrio. Una manera de estar en el mundo sin pretensiones mesiánicas ni resignación cínica.

La genealogía de la moral de Friedrich Nietzsche no es un libro de autoayuda en el sentido clásico, pero puede convertirse en una poderosa herramienta de transformación personal si se lee con una mirada introspectiva.

This book isn't for everyone. It's not for the indifferent, the corrupt, or the comfortably uninformed. It's for citizens who still care about truth, responsibility, and fixing what's broken.

With clarity, wit, and no-nonsense, he lays bare how power is hoarded, how truth gets buried, and what honest citizens can do about it. Part call to action, part civic survival guide, this book equips readers with the tools and courage to think, speak up, and take ...

When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? The Cost of Conviction contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism, the former, or prioritizing one's sacred values, the latter. Steven Sloman argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues.

Seeking answers, he enters a dream-city divided into four quarters, each ruled by a living Archetype that tests a different human drive: Power — a hooded monarch who speaks in hard strategy. Pleasure — a garden guide who offers comfort with a hidden price. Truth —...

Con metáforas como el paso del camello al león y luego al niño, Nietzsche traza un camino interior: primero obedecemos, luego nos rebelamos, y finalmente creamos con libertad. Esta evolución es clave para cualquiera que quiera tomar las riendas de su vida. Así habló Zaratustra no es un manual, sino un espejo: desafía, sacude y transforma. En tiempos de ruido superficial, este libro sigue siendo un llamado valiente a vivir desde la verdad personal y la afirmación profunda de la vida.

“Libre, como el sol cuando amanece,/ yo soy libre como el mar./ Libre como el ave que escapó de su prisión/ y puede, al fin, volar./ Libre como el viento/ que recoge mi lamento y mi pesar,/ camino sin cesar detrás de la verdad/ y sabré lo que es, al fin, la libertad”. Es lo que dice la canción popularizada por el cantante español Nino Bravo en el año 1972. Es como solemos imaginarnos la libertad, pero, ¿será así? A riesgo de romper la metáfora necesitamos entender que el sol sólo puede salir cada mañana porque tiene una órbita que no se altera; el mar no es tan libre que ...
