**The instant Sunday Times bestseller** What if you tried to stop
doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?
Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything
done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for
constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying
their limitations. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and
contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers,
Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time -
and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny. Embrace your
limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.
'Life is finite. You don't have to fit everything in... Read this
book and wake up to a new way of thinking and living' Emma Gannon
'Every sentence is riven with gold' Chris Evans 'Comforting,
fascinating, engaging, inspiring and useful' Marian Keyes
When we talk about delusions we may refer to symptoms of mental
health problems, such as clinical delusions in schizophrenia, or
simply the beliefs that people cling to which are implausible and
resistant to counterevidence; these can include anything from
beliefs about the benefits of homeopathy to concerns about the
threat of alien abduction. Why do people adopt delusional beliefs
and why are they so reluctant to part with them? In Why Delusions
Matter, Lisa Bortolotti explains what delusions really are and
argues that, despite their negative reputation, they can also play
a positive role in people's lives, imposing some meaning on adverse
experiences and strengthening personal or social identities. In a
clear and accessible style, Bortolotti contributes to the growing
research on the philosophy of the cognitive sciences, offering a
novel and nuanced view of delusions.
Michael H. McCarthy has carefully studied the writings of Bernard
Lonergan (Canadian philosopher-theologian, 1904-1984) for over
fifty years. In his 1989 book, The Crisis of Philosophy, McCarthy
argued for the superiority of Lonergan's distinctive philosophical
project to those of his analytic and phenomenological rivals. Now
in Authenticity as Self-Transcendence: The Enduring Insights of
Bernard Lonergan, he develops and expands his earlier argument with
four new essays, designed to show Lonergan's exceptional relevance
to the cultural situation of late modernity. The essays explore and
appraise Lonergan's cultural mission: to raise Catholic philosophy
and theology to meet the intellectual challenges and standards of
his time.
David Icke has been writing books for decades warning that current events were coming. He has faced ridicule and abuse for saying that the end of human freedom was being planned, how, and by whom.
David Icke’s The Biggest Secret, first published in 1998, has been called the "Rosetta Stone" of the conspiracy movement for the way it exposes how the pieces fit and the nature of the force behind human control.
The Trap is the "Rosetta Stone" of illusory reality and opens the door to freedom in its greatest sense.
Read this book and the "world" will never look the same again. The veil of illusion shall be swept aside and the amazing truth this has kept from us shall set you free.
