Self-Reliance is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It describes the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. Also included are the essays The Over Soul, Circles, The Poet, Experience, Nature, and Friendship.

Emerson helped start the beginning of the Transcendentalist movement in America. The Transcendentalist movement flourished in New England, and proposed a revolutionarily new philosophy of life. This new philosophy drew upon old ideas of Romanticism, Unitarianism, and German Idealism. Some of these ideas pertained closely to the values of America at the time. These values included nature, individualism, and reform, and can be noted in Emerson's essays.

This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Author and illustrator Siobhán Gallagher's humorous and heartfelt graphic memoir details her journey from being anxious and unhappy to learning to love herself as she is.

"I'm proud of the person I've become because I fought to become her." At the age of 30, Siobhán Gallagher looks back on her teenage years struggling with anxiety and diet culture, desperate to become a beautiful, savvy, and slim adult. As an actual adult, she realizes she hasn't turned out the way she'd imagined, but through the hard work of self-reflection--cut with plenty of humor--Gallagher brings readers along on her journey to self-acceptance and self-love.

Through witty comics and striking illustrations, Full of Myself is a highly relatable story of the awkward, imperfect, and hilariously honest teenage best friend readers will wish they had had--and the awkward, imperfect, and hilariously honest woman she becomes.

Em momentos como os que estamos vivendo, em que tantos experimentam ansiedade, desolação, solidão e desesperança, Um Curso de Amor (UCDA) apresenta um caminho seguro para que o leitor se reconecte com a sabedoria do coração, trazendo o conforto e o vislumbre do que seria vivenciar a plenitude de coração, um estado de Ser em que a mente se encontra em perfeita união e relacionamento com o coração. Dessa maneira, o livro conduz o leitor a resgatar a consciência da Unicidade, uma consciência que não pode ser aprendida, mas sim revelada através de união e relacionamento.

UCDA tem uma maneira muito tocante, profunda e milagrosa de transformar cada um que se permite ser tocado por sua sabedoria, uma transformação que acontece de dentro para fora sem a intervenção da mente racional. O leitor é convidado a descobrir que há uma maneira de conhecer que pode conduzi-lo além daquilo que o processo de aprendizado racional o levou a alcançar. Pode levá-lo à revelação da verdade de quem realmente é.

UCDA é mais que um livro. É uma nova maneira de ser e de viver. Propõe que todas as mudanças que gostaríamos de ver em nossas vidas e no mundo acontecerão quando deixarmos de nos ver como indivíduos separados e reconhecermos a verdade de que somos partes integrantes de uma consciência eterna que existe em Unicidade.

Se você busca conectar-se com uma Verdade conhecida, porém esquecida, de uma maneira gentil e suave e, no entanto, segura e direta, você decididamente terá a sensação de que este livro foi escrito para você (e foi!). Ele traz a consciência de que sofremos apenas por estarmos com saudades de nós mesmos, de nossa verdadeira identidade.

Mergulhe nas páginas de UCDA e seja levado pelas mãos até o alto da montanha, onde você passará quarenta dias e quarenta noites acompanhado por uma sabedoria atemporal, um lembrete de que não precisamos perambular por este mundo desconectados dos nossos sentimentos, como se estivéssemos entorpecidos.

UCDA integra, de maneira magistral, o humano e o divino, recordando-nos que podemos ser novamente inteiros, completos e viver em plenitude de coração. Nada mais precisa ser rejeitado e projetado no mundo. Podemos abraçar todos os fragmentos de nós mesmos que havíamos rejeitado e estender esse abraço a todos aqueles que encontrarmos.

Embora UCDA seja uma obra completa em si mesma, uma obra que não depende de outras para transmitir sua sabedoria, a voz que chegou à primeira receptora, Mari Perron, como "pensamentos que ela não pensou", se identifica como sendo a mesma voz de Jesus que ditou Um Curso em Milagres para Helen Schucman. Os dois cursos se complementam, como vemos nesta passagem de UCDA: "Enquanto o Curso em Milagres original era um curso de reversão do pensamento e de treinamento da mente, um curso para apontar a insanidade da crise de identidade e desalojar o domínio do ego, o propósito deste curso é estabelecer tua identidade e pôr fim ao domínio do ego."

Entregue-se ao descanso da alma oferecido por UCDA. O que o Amor lhe diria se pudesse falar com você? Ouça as palavras do Amor e deixe que seu autêntico Ser lhe seja revelado. E contemple sua vida se transformando para melhor.

Nesta Edição Completa, "O Curso" estabelece a plenitude de coração, que é a integração de mente e coração. "Os Tratados" revelam a "arte do pensamento", levando o leitor a partir do ser pessoal até o verdadeiro Ser e além, em direção à cocriação de um novo mundo. "Os Diálogos" oferecem a experiência transformadora chamada de "Os quarenta dias e quarenta noites", estabelecendo um relacionamento direto com Deus que habita dentro de nós. UCDA é um companheiro íntimo em nossa jornada de volta ao nosso verdadeiro lar.

A collection of essays by fifteen philosophers presenting a thoughtful, introductory guide to choosing a philosophy for living an examined and meaningful life.

Socrates famously said "the unexamined life is not worth living," but what does it mean to truly live philosophically?

This thought-provoking, wide-ranging collection brings together essays by fifteen leading philosophers reflecting on what it means to live according to a philosophy of life. From Eastern philosophies (Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism) and classical Western philosophies (such as Aristotelianism and Stoicism), to the four major religions, as well as contemporary philosophies (such as existentialism and effective altruism), each contributor offers a lively, personal account of how they find meaning in the practice of their chosen philosophical tradition.

Together, the pieces in How to Live a Good Life provide not only a beginner's guide to choosing a life philosophy but also a timely portrait of what it means to live an examined life in the twenty-first century.

Robert A. Johnson, bestselling author of He, She, We, and other psychology classics, shares a lifetime of insights and experiences in this easy-to-read explanation of psychological projection -- seeing traits in others that are, in fact, our own. He masterfully reveals how each of us gives up our "inner gold" to those whom we idealize or are attracted to. Each one of us must learn the arduous task of "taking back" this gold as we move through life's journey.

Drawing on early Christianity, medieval alchemy, depth psychology, and the myths of "The Flying Dutchman" and "The Once and Future King," he also explores the subjects of loneliness, fundamentalist religion, and the spiritual dimensions of psychology.

One of the most influential and visionary analysts of his generation, Johnson follows the tradition of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell among those whose ideas have shaped our deepest metaphors of self and psyche. His books are known worldwide for presenting Jung's complex theories with the simplicity and grace.

With twinkling eyes and the smile of a wise old man, Robert Johnson brings us the wisdom of a life fully lived....The healing power of Robert's writing is palpable.
- Marion Woodman

Robert Johnson's work always has that naked intensity that tells you you're in the psychic house of an honest man.

Paper airplane designer Andrew Dewar has done it again! In his new book, he presents an amazing collection of high-performance paper spaceships for kids who are fascinated by space travel. Step-by-step instructions show you how to fold each of the sci-fi-themed planes, which are designed to fly beautifully with every launch!

The book comes complete with 32 tear-out perforated sheets that have folding lines printed on them for quick and foolproof folding. It also has a pull-out moonbase poster which kids can spread on the floor and use to park their spaceships and practice precision landing maneuvers!
