Find purpose and meaning in your day-to-day life with A Year of Ikigai, a collection of short and simple daily reads, over 365 days, for easy understanding and integration of this Japanese philosophy. Ikigai is not a Venn diagram with a sweet spot in the middle. It's not your bliss, nor is it your one life purpose. It's not a word or concept from Okinawa. It’s not related to longevity. And it doesn’t mean that you never retire. So, what is ikigai? Iki comes from the verb ikiru, which means “to live.” But it is not referring to your life as a whole, as in a lifetime, but rather your “everyday life.” The&nbsp;concept of ikigai aligns and relates to finding meaning in your day-to-day living.&nbsp;&nbsp; In A Year of Ikigai, ikigai expert Nicholas Kemp introduces the Japanese concept of ikigai through 365 days of practical tips, reflections, and real-life examples to help you apply the principles of ikigai in tangible ways to your life, so you can answer the most important question:What gets you up in the morning?

Finding Everyday Purpose Through Japanese Wisdom

A Year of Ikigai

The expert contributors to this volume represent many types of libraries and points of view, including BIPOC writers and those from other marginalized groups as well as librarians from small and large libraries, rural and urban libraries, and academic, public, and school libraries.

Readers will appreciate the hands-on guidance for improving not only the organizational functioning of the library, but the human functioning as well.

Five Factors That Improve Employee Engagement and Satisfaction

Creating Healthy Library Workplaces

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Strength to Strength, an account of how the modern world sets us up to fail at finding meaning—and a plan for finding what you seek. Meaning in life is getting harder to find—and there’s a reason for that. In The Meaning of Your Life, social scientist and happiness expert Arthur Brooks explains how&nbsp;rapid societal and technological changes have rewired our brains, making them ill-equipped to handle questions of existential reckoning. The resulting emptiness is not imaginary, and it is life-destroying for some, especially for young people.&nbsp; Fortunately, there's hope. With compassion, clarity, and practicality, Brooks tells you exactly what you need to do to move toward meaning. You'll take a test to determine where you are on your meaning journey, learn evidence-based tactics for rewiring your brain for complex and abstract concepts, and discover a vocabulary for your desires. Most importantly, Brooks will show you where to search for the transcendence, vocation, and significance that are your birthright as a human being. “What is the meaning of my life?” is not an unanswerable question, but the road to an answer—or answers—is a long one. The Meaning of Your Life is your guide for the journey.

Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness

The Meaning of Your Life

Stop running toward someone else’s definition of success, and start intentionally shaping your own. This prequel to Aesop’s famous tortoise and hare fable shows exhausted professionals how to shift from chasing external validation to creating internal meaning and alignment. Stop chasing visibility. Start creating meaning. In today’s high-pressure workplace, professionals are depleted from constantly proving themselves to others—yet struggling to find genuine satisfaction in their work. What if the breakthrough isn’t working harder within the system but instead reimagining what success means to you? Stop Chasing, Start Creating reveals the untold story of Tano the tortoise before his famous race with the hare. In this prequel to the beloved Aesop’s fable, we discover that Tano wasn’t always the steady, purposeful creature we know. He once chased visibility, approval, and validation just like the rest of us—until a moment of awakening changed everything. Through Tano’s journey from external pressure to internal clarity, readers discover the crucial difference between chasing meaning and creating it. Grounded in motivation science, this framework shifts professionals from extrinsic motivation (external rewards, recognition, and belonging) to intrinsic motivation (purpose, contribution, and alignment). Perfect for burned-out professionals in healthcare, education, nonprofit management, and other purpose-driven fields, this story-first approach offers the metaphor-rich reflection modern workers crave without feeling like another productivity manual.

How To Think

The Poets That Made Our World and Why We Need Them

How to Think Like a Poet

This volume is comprised of contributions from internationally respected scholars dedicated to the theme of "The Future of Hermeneutics." These contributions are gathered from research originally presented at the annual International Hermeneutics Symposium in 2023 and 2024. The topic means to draw attention not only to the relevance of research in hermeneutics for our future, but also current developments in hermeneutics that will shape research in the field to come. Hermeneutics originally taught us how to approach texts, authors, and the act of reading itself. Yet today, when experience, existence, language, meaning, and interpretation are challenged by shifting cultural, technological, and ethical contexts, hermeneutics calls for renewal, while staying true to its original calling to be an open and receptive practice of understanding. By attending to the dialogical nature of texts, the fragility of truth, the material circumstances of nature and culture, and the responsibilities of interpretation, hermeneutics offers new perspectives for engaging with the world, aiming to preserve the bonds between word and world, between experience, interpretation, and life. This volume, then, represents research completed in connection with the International Hermeneutics Symposium. The contributions to the symposium will continue to be published, even though from this year onwards in a different, updated form, no longer as a yearbook, but as a volume in a new series: 
 Post-Kantian European Philosophy
 (P-KEP).

Contributions to the International Hermeneutics Symposium

The Future of Hermeneutics

<div>Unpack the powerful visual symbols artists have used throughout history.&nbsp; &nbsp; From a single flower to a carefully placed skull, works of art across history are filled with symbols that carry powerful meanings. The Symbols of Art reveals how artists use these symbols to communicate ideas without relying on words.&nbsp; &nbsp; Why is there a lily in that religious painting? Why does a still life include an hourglass, a mirror or a piece of fruit? In some cases, these symbols would have been immediately understood by contemporary viewers but now need decoding for a modern audience. In other instances, symbolism is more deliberately elusive, inviting viewers to look closer and think deeper.&nbsp; &nbsp; This richly illustrated visual reference includes:&nbsp;<ul><li>Over 100 key symbols drawn from art history&nbsp;</li><li>Symbols from the natural world, the manmade world, the supernatural, and colours and shapes&nbsp;</li><li>Famous artworks used as case studies to show symbolism in context&nbsp;</li><li>How meanings change across cultures, movements and centuries&nbsp;</li><li>An easy-to-navigate, fully indexed structure designed for quick consultation as well as browsing&nbsp;</li></ul> Bringing together examples from across periods, cultures and artistic movements, art historian Susie Hodge explains how symbolic meanings can shift depending on time, place and intention, revealing layers of interpretation that radically deepen our understanding of artworks.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Clearly organised and expertly written, The Symbols of Art is both an authoritative reference and an inviting guide for curious readers.&nbsp; &nbsp; Whether you’re visiting a gallery, studying art history or simply want to see artworks with fresh eyes, this book gives you the tools to decode visual meaning and experience art more deeply.&nbsp;</div>

A Kids Book About Choices

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERDante’s Inferno meets Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi in this dark academia fantasy from R. F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, in which two graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul—perhaps at the cost of their own. Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek:The story of a hero’s descent to the underworldAlice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world.That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams….Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion.With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like.But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn’t always the answer, and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect allies…or lead to their doom.
