A landmark book answering the greatest philosophical questions of our time, from Yale's leading theologians.

Volf M: Life Worth Living / LF

Life Worth Living

A guide to what matters most

The beloved classic daily devotional of Stoic meditations—the only authorized print edition in the US and complete with a ribbon marker—with more than two million copies sold! 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 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.

366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

The Daily Stoic 10th Anniversary Edition

What if the only way to break through the chaos in your life was to stop trying to move the mountains in your path - and instead learn to traverse them?

Chris thought he had it all under control: a career with real potential, a family he loved deeply, and dreams of building a better life for them all. But when the weight of his failures pushes him to the brink, he finds himself thrust into a surreal wilderness where nothing is certain-except the lessons that will change everything.

From cattle drives across blistering Nevada deserts to campfires in the Montana backcountry, Chris meets unlikely guides who challenge his assumptions about control, failure, and redemption. Each encounter forces him to confront his deepest regrets, his failing marriage, and the truth he's been running from: that the mountains in life don't move just because we want them to.

Blending vivid adventure with profound allegory, Cursing at Mountains takes readers on a journey through shifting landscapes of desert, forest, and canyon-where every road is a choice, every choice has a consequence, and growth comes only through surrender.

Fans of Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, or Matt Haig's reflective storytelling will find the same mix of inspiration, adventure, and timeless wisdom in these pages.

Chris's struggle is every person's struggle-the battle to let go, to forgive, and to find the courage to start again. His journey will leave you asking: what mountains am I cursing at in my own life?

Cursing at Mountains

Proven Strategies for Every Step of Your Financial Life

The Wealth Ladder

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.

Ordinary Days and Tender Places

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.The true, larger-than-life story of George "Boe" Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his "don't just break the rules but make up new ones" attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs.This is a modern-day 'Big Fish' tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him.Boe helped create the clunkiest - many would say ugliest - looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago - and it's bigger now than it's ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful... We're not talking about the shoe anymore.In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it's going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include: <ul><li>Do Not Listen to Anyone</li><li>When to Not Follow the Rules</li><li>Avoid Bosses</li><li>You Never Know When Opportunity Will Present Itself</li><li>If You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.</li><li>Ugly is Beautiful </li></ul>

Practices of tracking and tracing have a long history, yet they are expanding in scale and scope in the digital age with important consequences for the accounts which shape our organizational and everyday lives. At a time when the benefits of traceability for assuring quality, maintaining security, and supporting knowledge-creation must be balanced with needs for privacy and accountability, Economy of Traces delivers an analysis of the implications of traceability for the many accounts we live by. Issues about why we trace, what we trace, and how we trace have become critical, and the book draws upon thinking in accounting, philosophy, and sociology to understand the different facets of traceability, including connectivity, organization, governance, risk, personhood, and knowledge generation. Through these themes, the book locates a key tension at the heart of our digital economy of traces; namely, that the more we are technically able to produce and track traces of human behaviour, the more fragile the traditional organizational forms of human oversight and accountability become. Economy of Traces develops a traceological theory of accounting to understand this tension and how tracking and oversight, while intertwined, are changing their mix in the digital age. In particular, audit trails which have traditionally underpinned human capacities for observation and governance, are being displaced and de-centered. Economy of Traces avoids both wholesale humanist critique of digital technologies on the one hand and uncritical celebration of their augmenting power on the other, in order to understand and theorize the dynamics of change in the organization of traceability and accounts production.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

Scripture is filled with builders, stewards, entrepreneurs, and marketplace leaders-from Abraham and Lydia to Nehemiah and the Proverbs 31 woman.

In the same way, you've been called to build, lead, serve, and create-on purpose and for a purpose.
