Flanagan has firsthand knowledge of what it is like to be an addict. That experience informs this important and novel work. He pairs the sciences that study addiction with a sophisticated view of the consciousness-brain/body relation to make his core argument: that substance addictions comprise a heterogeneous set of "psychobiosocial" behavioral disorders. He explains that substance addictions do not have one set of causes, such as self-medication or social dislocation, and they do not have one neural profile, such as a dysfunction in dopamine system.

There are over 300 miles of reinforced tunnels, all outfitted with weapons and passageways for terrorists to take hostages and travel freely.

Why is it so effortless to judge the cracks in others while blinding ourselves to the fractures within? In Throwing Stones from Glass Houses, JD Arden shatters the illusion of moral clarity with razor-sharp insight and unflinching honesty. This isn’t your typical self-help slog; it’s a relentless probe into the human compulsion to blame, criticize, and condemn—all from the shaky sanctuary of our own fragile egos.

A seminal work of scientific and philosophical exploration. Ever since the Greeks coined the language we commonly use for scientific description, mythology and science have developed separately. But what if we could prove that all myths have one common origin in a celestial cosmology? What if the gods, the places they lived, and what they did are but ciphers for celestial activity, a language for the perpetuation of complex astronomical data?

They say live without regrets—like it’s that simple. But regret isn’t a choice; it’s the shadow trailing every decision, the ache of roads not taken and chances slipped through our fingers. More than a fleeting wish for a do-over, regret is the haunting echo of the life unlived, the silent companion of our deepest “what ifs.” JD Arden cuts through the clichés and denial to confront regret head-on. This is no self-help pep talk but a sharp, unflinching exploration of the emotional territory most avoid. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and stories that hit close to home, Arden ...

En estas páginas, Lucas Bracco rescata la tradición hedonista —de Epicuro a Nietzsche, de Aristipo a los filósofos contemporáneos— para mostrar que buscar el placer no es egoísmo ni superficialidad, sino un arte profundo: el arte de vivir con conciencia, libertad y plenitud. Desde el placer estético hasta el bienestar emocional, desde el gozo...
