It will teach you not to look to the outside world for answers, but inside yourself. You will learn how to take full responsibility of your life, the highs and the lows, and you'll actually feel good about it - no, in fact, you'll feel f*cking great about it!

Double bill of stand up performances from Liverpudlian comic and TV star John Bishop. In 'The Elvis Has Left the Building Tour', recorded in 2010 at The Liverpool Empire, he shares his thoughts on middle-age, male grooming, football and more. In 'The Sunshine Tour', taken from his show at Liverpool's Echo Arena in 2011, he reflects on his new-found fame and discusses what his children make of him.
Do you want to be the best parent you can be? We all want to be good parents, but our pasts hold us back. We all feel like we're failing at parenting. In Grow Up, personal development guru Gary John Bishop shows us how to let go of what came before and start taking action. Gary argues we're never going to measure up to the perfect parent model - this book will equip you to think about how you show up in the world to nurture your children in the present. No more tips and tricks, Grow Up will help you take charge of the direction of your life and show your kids how to follow theirs.
The Liverpudlian stand-up comic and TV star, John Bishop takes to the road once again on his sell-out 2012 tour.
James Joyce's preoccupation with space-be it urban, geographic, stellar, geometrical or optical-is a central and idiosyncratic feature of his work. In Making Space in the Works of James Joyce, some of the most esteemed scholars in Joyce studies have come together to evaluate the perception and mental construction of space, as it is evoked through Joyce's writing. The aim is to bring together several recent trends of literary research and criticism to bear on the notion of space in its most concrete sense. The essays move dialectically out of an immediate focus on the phenomenological and intra-psychic, into broader and wider meditations on the social, urban and collective. As Joyce's formal experiments appear the response to the difficulty of enunciating truly the experience of lived space, this eventually leads us to textual and linguistic space. The final contribution evokes the space with which Joyce worked daily, that of his manuscripts-or what he called "paperspace." With essays addressing all of Joyce's major works, this volume is a critical contribution to our understanding of modernism, as well as of the relationship between space, language, and literature.
Can it be justifiable to commit oneself 'by faith' to a religious
claim when its truth lacks adequate support from one's total
available evidence? In Believing by Faith, John Bishop defends a
version of fideism inspired by William James's 1896 lecture 'The
Will to Believe'. By critiquing both 'isolationist'
(Wittgensteinian) and Reformed epistemologies of religious belief,
Bishop argues that anyone who accepts that our publicly available
evidence is equally open to theistic and naturalist/atheistic
interpretations will need to defend a modest fideist position. This
modest fideism understands theistic commitment as involving
'doxastic venture' - practical commitment to propositions held to
be true through 'passional' causes (causes other than the
recognition of evidence of or for their truth).

Joining the ranks of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, You Are a Badass, and F*ck Feelings comes this refreshing, BS-free, self-empowerment guide that offers an honest, no-nonsense, tough-love approach to help you move past self-imposed limitations. Are you tired of feeling fu*ked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unfu*ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a fu*king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way, it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive, it's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself. In Unfu*k Yourself, Bishop leads you through a series of seven assertions: - I am willing - I am wired to win - I got this - I embrace the uncertainty - I am not my thoughts; I am what I do - I am relentless - I expect nothing and accept everything Lead the life you were meant to have--Unfu*k Yourself.
From a moral point of view we think of ourselves as capable of responsible actions. From a scientific point of view we think of ourselves as animals whose behaviour, however highly evolved, conforms to natural scientific laws. Natural Agency argues that these different perspectives can be reconciled, despite the scepticism of many philosophers who have argued that 'free will' is impossible under 'scientific determinism'. This scepticism is best overcome, according to the author, by defending a causal theory of action, that is by establishing that actions are constituted by behavourial events with the appropriate kind of mental causal history. He sets out a rich and subtle argument for such a theory and defends it against its critics. Thus the book demonstrates the importance of philosophical work in action theory for the central metaphysical task of understanding our place in nature. |
