Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9
E. M. Cioran confronts the place of today's world in the context of human history—focusing on such major issues of the twentieth century as human progress, fanaticism, and science—in this nihilistic and witty collection of aphoristic essays concerning the nature of civilization in mid-twentieth-century Europe.

One of the Most Dangerous Books Ever Written
Reviewed: 07-09-23
Dangerous to all of our ridiculous delusions about life, ourselves, our species and the universe. Don’t pass up your chance to blow up everything you thought important. Cioran is the Dante for your tour of Hell on Earth and how to be indifferent to everything and everyone, including ourselves. Adam son’s reading is perfect.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 219
In American Rule, Jared Yates Sexton upends those convenient fictions by laying bare the foundational myths at the heart of our collective American imagination. From the very origins of this nation, Americans in power have abused and subjugated others; enabling that corruption are the many myths of American exceptionalism and steadfast values, which are fed to the public and repeated across generations.

Sexton is the preeminent truthful historian of human and American history. The most dangerous book to mythology that i have ever read. Do not read this book if you want to continue the illusion of American mythology. It will irrevocably blast it to pieces. It is total disillusionment in the best sense of the word. Thank you, Jared.

AnamThubten, in remarkably easy-to-understand language, provides teachings for doing exactly that, based on the wisdom of the Buddhist traditions. He illuminates the path of going beyond the misconceptions of the ego to experience the reality of our true nature, which is already enlightened. He communicates with clarity, humor, and refreshing honesty, lighting the way to a life full of love, compassion, and true satisfaction.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 253
The legendary British actor Terence Stamp reads the book that he says 'changed his life'. This is an exploration of our existence and a journey towards enlightenment. In what the author calls 'the fine print' at the start of the book, David Carse wrote: 'There are many books out there that will help you to live a better life, become a better person, and evolve and grow to realise your potential as a spiritual being. This is not one of them....'
