The School of Life: The Meaning of Life

The Meaning of Life

The True Ingredients of Fulfilment

In a novel application of the work of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics to the philosophy of business, Robert CB Miller argues that free-market capitalism requires virtues to mitigate its flaws and to enhance its strengths. Ethics in a Capitalist Economy begins with an outline of modern virtue ethics, deriving from Aristotle and Aquinas and reinvigorated in the 20th century by writers including Elizabeth Anscombe and Philippa Foot. Taking up the idea that human nature determines the virtues, Miller sets out three types of virtue specific to economic activity: contractual, behavioural and entrepreneurial. With reference to major historical and contemporary thinkers including Adam Smith, John Locke, David Hume, Alasdair MacIntyre, Mary Midgeley and Steven Pinker, the book shows the flaws in the market economy and the ways in which these flaws can be mitigated by the application of particular virtues in order to encourage human flourishing. The book includes three case studies investigating the practice (or absence) of virtues in real world situations: on the career of Warren Buffett, on insights from behavioural economics and on the philanthropic efforts of business leaders. This book combines practical considerations with a detailed and accessible reading of the theory of virtue ethics and its relation to human nature in political economy.

Why Markets Need Virtues

Ethics in a Capitalist Economy

From assumptions surrounding who is staying home with the kids to the never-ending list of 'school' admin, being 'the default parent' rears its head in a plethora of ways. So this book is for all the defaults out there - bored out of their eyeballs or so overwhelmed they could scream expletives into the wind for a solid hour - to know their invisible labor is seen, valued and can even sometimes be rebalanced. With heartfelt and hilarious advice, Lou Beckett provides much-needed comfort and community for the one who is depended on the most (and often feels appreciated the least), and maybe - just maybe - how we can begin to muddle through a little better, together.

Surviving the Front Line of Family Life (Without Losing Your Sh*t)

Lessons from a Default Parent

Unlock the wisdom and knowledge within the depths your mind - Nancy Kline shows you how with theories and practical sessions, as well as results from its use in business leadership, coaching, team development and personal relationships.

In this book, Nancy Kline describes how we can achieve this, and presents a step-by-step guide that can be used in any situation. Whether you want to have more productive meetings, solve business problems, create bold strategies, or build stronger relationships, this book offers you a new world of possibilities.

The Brain at Rest

'Extraordinary' ANNE APPLEBAUM 'Thrilling . . . a record of an infatuation' TELEGRAPH 'The book of a lifetime' ELIF SHAFAK 'The North Pole proves to be the perfect subject for him' MICHAEL PALIN 'Heart-catching . . . fabulous' OBSERVER 'A beautiful book' ALAIN DE BOTTON The epic adventure story of the North Pole - its transcendent beauty and dangerous appeal - from Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge who travelled there in 1990 Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six whole months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year. Foot-stepping alongside Erling Kagge, who ventured to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, we hear the story of the North Pole as never told before. From Herodotus who first wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like, to the intrepid early cartographers who mapped the world, and the legendary expeditions led by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary - the first polar explorer global celebrities - who were in the grip of a dangerous obsession to get to the North Pole first. What emerges is a new history of the world, spanning thousands of years, as seen from the 'silver-shining vacantness' of the North Pole. Blending memories from Kagge's own 1990 trip with this epic history, The North Pole is an adventure story, a book about enacting hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, and a psychological record of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. It is for anyone who's gazed out at the horizon - and wondered what happens if you just keep walking. 'As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted' RANULPH FIENNES

'A gem of a book, serious and clever yet funny and playful' Financial Times 'Professor of philosophy and a public intellectual for the internet age, Callard shows how Socrates can inform the way we live our lives - from romance to politics' Guardian Socrates has been hiding in plain sight. We call him the father of Western philosophy, but what exactly are his philosophical views? He is famous for his humility, but readers often find him arrogant and condescending. We parrot his claim that 'the unexamined life is not worth living,' yet take no steps to live examined ones. We know that he was tried, convicted, and executed for 'corrupting the youth,' but freely assign Socratic dialogues to today's youths, to introduce them to philosophy. We've lost sight of what made him so dangerous. In Open Socrates, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard recovers the radical energy at the centre of Socrates' thought and shows why it is still the way to a good life. Callard draws our attention to Socrates' startling discovery that we don't know how to ask ourselves the most important questions- about how we should live, and how we might change. Before a person even has a chance to reflect, their bodily desires or the forces of social conformity have already answered on their behalf. To ask the most important questions, we need help. Callard argues that the true ambition of the famous "Socratic method" is to reveal what one human being can be to another. You can use another person in many ways-for survival, for pleasure, for comfort- but you are engaging them to the fullest when you call on them to help answer your questions and challenge your answers. Here Callard shows that Socrates' method allows us to make progress in thinking about how to manage romantic love, how to confront one's own death, and how to approach politics. In the process, she gives us nothing less than a new ethics to live by.

How to Find Confidence, Choice, and Connection

Shatterproof

We all know what it's like to hold back from making a decisive move, offering our most candid feedback, or even advocating for ourselves because it was easier and safer to take the well-travelled path - but these are also the hinge points that transform reputations, relationships, and results. Drawing on a landmark seven-year study of 34,000 people, JP Pawliw and Bill Benjamin reveal a consistent pattern: in high-stakes moments people hold back an average of 7.56% of what can make the crucial difference between 'taking your shot' and regret at failing to do so. Rounded, they call this gap the 'Last 8%'. The book explores the brain function reasons for this gap and equips readers with effective tools to close the gap. Blending neuroscience, behavioural research, and stories from astronauts, Olympic athletes, Fortune 100 executives, and frontline professionals, THE LAST 8% provides a practical roadmap for acting with decisiveness in pressure situations. It teaches individuals to regulate their biology in the heat of the moment, while also offering leaders a proprietary framework - the Last 8% Culture Map - to build teams and organisations where candour, accountability and trust drive performance.

The Last 8%

A highly original first anthology on the cultural history of the unconscious that is destined to become definitive. “Know thyself”—the injunction that was once inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo—became a touchstone for classical and modern philosophers before being embraced as the endgame of psychoanalysis by Freud and his followers. The conceptual baggage that Freud took on his armchair journey into the unconscious mind is well known—and so, too, is the more recent science on implicit memory, blindsight and automatic processing—but the history of the unconscious beyond the consulting room and laboratory has largely been overlooked. From ancient dream theory to hypnosis, somnambulism to psychedelic mind-expansion, The Unconscious by Antonio Melechi traces the wider social and scientific history of the unconscious mind. It brings together a chorus of voices—including Friedrich Nietzsche, Henri Bergson, Mary Arnold-Forster, Swami Vivekananda, and Philip K. Dick, to name only some—to investigate the elusive psychology of memory and learning, instinct and imagination, creative breakthrough and mental breakdown. Moving beyond the familiar psychoanalytic framework, the book draws on a rich seam of sources, including case studies, psychological experiments, pulp fiction, urban legend, and commercial hype. Approaching the unconscious as a product of both discovery and invention, the anthology underscores its importance as a perennial source of debate, a tantalizing mirror to our hidden selves, and a powerful master key that continues to influence contemporary thought.

Finding happiness is less about learning new tricks and more about unlearning ways of thinking holding you back: Stop chasing happiness, stop obsessing over what others think, stop caring too much about how you feel, stop making sacrifices for personal success.
