When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.' Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century because his humanistic, atheistic, if pessimistic views chimed with a new secularism that was emerging from a Western society dominated by religion. Despite his rather forbidding image (and a few outdated views), he is one of the most approachable German philosophers, and this is certainly evident in these two key works, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims.

His wonderfully fertile mind roams over mankind, his thoughts, his emotions, his behaviour and his weaknesses with remarkable clarity, with insight - but also with humour!In this work are 383 separate paragraphs, some short, some long, but all singular observations - the epitome of his famous aphoristic style.

Story
Gaius Musonius Rufus was a Roman Stoic philosopher of the first century AD. He has been referred to as the Roman Socrates and is also remembered for being the teacher of Epictetus. He taught philosophy in Rome during the reign of Nero and so was sent into exile in 65 AD, returning to Rome only under Galba. Twenty-one of his lectures survive together with a few fragmentary notes from others, all of which are contained in this narration.

Story
Edward Bulwer-Lytton's book is ostensibly a work of Science Fiction. It deals with an underground race of advanced beings, masters of Vril energy - a strange power that can both heal and destroy - who intend to leave their subterranean existence and conquer the world. But the book has been seen by many as a barely concealed account of Hidden Wisdom, a theory that has attracted many strange bed-fellows, including the French author Louis Jacolliot, the Polish explorer Ferdinand Ossendowsky, and Adolf Hitler.

Story
This famous treatise began as a letter to a young French friend who asked Edmund Burke’s opinion on whether France’s new ruling class would succeed in creating a better order. Doubtless the friend expected a favorable reply, but Burke was suspicious of certain tendencies of the Revolution from the start and perceived that the revolutionaries were actually subverting the true "social order". Blending history with principle and graceful imagery with profound practical maxims, this book is one of the most influential political treatises in the history of the world.

The Republic poses questions that endure: What is justice? What form of community fosters the best possible life for human beings? What is the nature and destiny of the soul? What form of education provides the best leaders for a good republic? What are the various forms of poetry and the other arts, and which ones should be fostered and which ones should be discouraged? How does knowing differ from believing?

lots of words, but could be better
Would've been better if she spelled out the words and gave examples for each word. should also have given better examples with the words that she did give examples for.

Good way to passively study
I appreciate that I can listen to this on the way to and from work, but the narrator pronounces things incorrectly SO FREQUENTLY and it sort of drives me insane. You can still understand what word she is referring to so it’s not that big of a deal, it’s just driving me a little insane. Overall very helpful!

Recording isn't great quality. There are lots of mispronunciations.
Gets the job done though. It seems to help me learn some new words.

Being a non-native English speaker
Being a non-native English speaker, most books on the topic were difficult to understand and to implement. But, this one is really for people like me. Simple yet sophisticated at the same time. I am so happy with the purchase!

The mispronounced words abound
I found myself deciphering the correct word from the definition as MANY words are not pronounced correctly. Words that end in D are pronounced with a hard "t" sound. The emphasis on syllables is "off" on words as well.
After the 3rd chapter I focused on how often the words were not said correctly versus new vocabulary.
There should have been more emphasis on pronouncing words using the widely used/accepted and alternatively as it is in the book.

List of Words ONLY- SO MANY MISPRONOUNCED
There is nothing ground breaking or helpful about this "book" as it would be just as easy and FREE to look up a definition list for most used vocabulary words on the GRE. The entirety of this "book" is only a long list of words, seemingly recited by someone in a very echoey room, and she mispronounces so many of them Ia questioning the definitions of words I have not heard. I thought there would be some sort of exercises as part of this but I waa wrong. Unless you REALLY need to listen to words I would find another study tool.
