Après Le Choix du courage, Ryan Holiday propose le deuxième volet de sa série consacrée aux vertus stoïciennes.Courage, discipline, justice et sagesse. De ces quatre vertus stoïciennes, la sagesse est la plus difficile à acquérir. Sans elle, nos plus grandes qualités deviennent nos pires défauts : le courage se transforme en témérité, l'autodiscipline en cruauté, la justice en moralisation. À travers trois parties structurées comme des séances de coaching, Ryan Holiday s'appuie sur les textes de Montaigne, Sénèque, Abraham Lincoln ou Joan Didion, entre autres, pour nous aider à nous rapprocher de la sagesse. Il nous apprend comment écouter plus que parler, comment garder l'esprit ouvert en période de bouleversements, comment penser avec nuance et remettre en question sans concession nos propres croyances. Il montre aussi à quel point l'intelligence peut être dangereuse sans la sagesse, et comment nous pouvons tous échapper aux pièges de la certitude et de l'arrogance. Êtes-vous prêt à écouter ? Êtes-vous prêt à vous remettre en question ? La sagesse exige du travail, mais cela en vaut la peine.Inteprétation humaine

When wealthy Nicholas Boyne is committed to a mental health facility, his two daughters, Claire and Susan, are left to their own devices. Susan embarks on an ill-fated affair with her psychiatrist, while Claire undergoes a spiritual awakening and sets about a plan to convert the family home into a retreat for the rehabilitation of prostitutes. Brutally funny and packed with wry observations, this is an ideal read for anyone curious about the works of this celebrated writer.

While his books tended to satirise 20th Century American life, his poems often focussed on the beauty and innocence of nature. In addition, Nemerov also worked as a scriptwriter, most notably on the film, `Tall Story,' starring Anthony Perkins and Jane Fonda.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Too many books about bisexuality skip over the fact that the term bisexuality has multiple, complex meanings, and instead assume that it has a simple, straightforward definition. This leads to the assumption that people already know all about it, when in reality, they don't. #2 Bisexuality, as a term and a concept, was born around the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. It was used to describe what we now call intersexuality, which is when a person's sex is not aligned with their gender. #3 The first researcher to treat bisexuality as an existing sexuality was Alfred Kinsey in his landmark research Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, first published in 1948. Monosexual means someone who is attracted to people of only one gender. #4 Bisexuality was first invented and scrutinized by hegemonic powers under the mass project of categorizing and then pathologizing various human experiences and behaviors. It was later reclaimed by the bisexual movement.
