Die letzte Woche des Dritten Reiches hat begonnen. Hitler ist tot, aber der Krieg noch nicht zu Ende. Alles scheint zum Stillstand zu kommen, und doch ist alles in atemloser Bewegung. Volker Ullrich schildert Tag für Tag diese "zeitlose Zeit" und entführt den Leser in eine zusammenbrechende Welt voller Dramatik und Hoffnung, Gewalt und Angst. Sein Buch ist eine unvergessliche Zeitreise in den Untergang.

Im ersten Teil seiner auf drei Bände angelegten Geschichte der Philosophie beschreibt Richard David Precht die Entwicklung des abendländischen Denkens von der Antike bis zum Mittelalter. Kenntnisreich und detailliert verknüpft er die Linien der großen Menschheitsfragen und verfolgt die Entfaltung der wichtigsten Ideen - von den Ursprungsgefilden der abendländischen Philosophie an der schönen Küste Kleinasiens bis in die Klöster und Studierstuben, die Kirchen und Machtzentren des Spätmittelalters.

Der bekannteste Philosoph Deutschlands über die Moral der Künstlichen Intelligenz. Während die drohende Klimakatastrophe und der enorme Ressourcenverbrauch der Menschheit die Lebensgrundlagen unseres Planeten zerstören, machen sich Informatiker und Ingenieure daran, die Entwicklung einer Künstlichen Intelligenz voranzutreiben, die alles das können soll, was Menschen auch können - nur vielfach "optimierter". Ausgehend von völlig falschen Annahmen soll den Maschinen sogar eine menschenähnliche Moral einprogrammiert werden.

Nichts, was die Arbeit anbelangt, ist heute mehr selbstverständlich. Das zweite Maschinenzeitalter selbstlernender Computer und Roboter revolutioniert unseren Arbeitsmarkt. Es definiert neu was "Arbeit" ist, und wozu wir eigentlich noch arbeiten. Schon seit einiger Zeit arbeiten wir in den westlichen Industrieländern nicht mehr, um unsere Existenz zu sichern. Wir arbeiten, um zur Erwerbsarbeitsgesellschaft dazuzugehören.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Will Johnnie Veal—convicted of the murder of two police officers in 1970—be granted parole after 50 years in prison? How can he convince the parole board he’s reformed when he insists he’s innocent? What is prison time even supposed to accomplish? These are the questions that propel The Parole Room forward as it builds toward Johnnie’s 20th parole hearing—after 19 rejections.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity.
