 Four Thousand Weeks Time Management for Mortals【電子書籍】[ Oliver Burkeman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞AN INSTANT ＜em＞NEW YORK TIMES＜/em＞ BESTSELLER＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." ーBarbara Spindel, ＜em＞The Wall Street Journal＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” ＜em＞Four Thousand Weeks＜/em＞ introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a societyーand that we could do things differently.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,715円 |

The result is a life-enhancing and surprising challenge to much familiar adviceーand a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To be either read as a four-week “retreat of the mind” or devoured in one or two sittings, ＜em＞Meditations for Mortals＜/em＞ will be a source of solace and inspiration, and an aid to a saner, freer, and more enchantment-filled life.

 History of a World of Immortals without a God Translated from an unpublished manuscript in the library of a continental university【電子書籍】[ Anonymous ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the groundbreaking text "History of a World of Immortals without a God," the anonymous author navigates the complexities of a universe where immortality exists independently of divine influence. This philosophical narrative intricately weaves together themes of existence, morality, and human autonomy, presenting a nuanced exploration of immortality devoid of the traditional religious scaffold. The author's distinctive literary style combines allegory with reflective prose, inviting readers to ponder the implications of eternal life within a secular context, challenging the very foundations of human purpose and societal constructs. The choice to remain anonymous speaks volumes about the author's intentional alignment with the themes of anonymity and universality presented within the book. It suggests a desire to transcend individual identity, allowing the ideas to resonate on a broader cultural and philosophical level. Moreover, the author'??s background in existential philosophy and their engagement with contemporary debates about life, death, and the metaphysical may have significantly influenced the creation of this profound work. I highly recommend "History of a World of Immortals without a God" to anyone fascinated by philosophical inquiries and speculative literature. This text not only stimulates intellectual discourse but also encourages introspection about the very nature of existence'??making it an essential read for scholars, philosophy enthusiasts, and general readers alike.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 300円 |

 Heroes and Other Mortals Stories of Our Better Angels【電子書籍】[ Frye Gaillard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Frye Gaillard did not set out to write this book.

 Mere Mortals: Medico-historical Essays【電子書籍】[ Charles MacLaurin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞There can be little doubt that the illustrious Dr. Johnson was a psychasthenic. His father could see in life nothing but gloom, though his mother seems to have been hearty and sensible enough. Therefore presumably we are entitled to say that the Great Cham’s family history was faulty. At an early age he developed some trouble that his parents diagnosed as scrofula, or tuberculous glands of the neck, but Boswell expressly hints was suspected to have been caught from a nurse. They took him to England’s kindly but not intelligent majesty, Queen Anne, who, wearing a long black hood and diamonds to impress her patients, touched him for his “grievous malady.” But she did not cure him; rather it would seem that she made him worse; for all Johnson’s frightful jerkings and grimaces, roarings and puffings, may possibly be traced back to that one moment of nervous tension when he felt himself a little boy, the observed of all observers, waiting to be touched by the sister-in-law of William the Dutchman. A child of bad heredityーindeed any childーmust be treated with the utmost care long before it appears to be conscious, before it appears to take notice of what is going on around it; quarrelsome parents and angry nurses may so warp his whole mental outlook that it is spoiled for life. And it could not have been a good thing for the coming Great Cham to subject him to such nervous strain as was necessarily involved in taking him before Queen Anne. He was lucky in that it did not make him stammer. Many a sensitive boy has been made to stammer by less than was involved in Sam’s childish treatment. Long before a child appears to be conscious its mind is taking notice of all that goes on around it, and its whole future life may be warped in one moment of terror or anxiety. And the sad thing is that probably Mrs. Johnson senior had made a mistake in diagnosis, that probably little Sam was not suffering from scrofula at all, but from some swelling of the glands of the neck that was due to something in his scalp. That he lived till he was seventy-five seems to show that he never suffered either from tuberculosis or syphilis, those two great slayers; and if his glands had really been tuberculous it is probable that, bursting, they would have formed a “mixed infection” that would have had more serious effects than mere local scarring.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 640円 |

 On the Heroism of Mortals【電子書籍】[ Allan Cameron ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This is a collection of eleven short stories whose common theme is the heroism of our flawed lives. It explores the arduousness of people’s lives and covers such diverse subjects as human solidarity, generational change, single parenthood, domestic violence, the tragic complexity of revolution, police brutality, artistic hubris, and the limitations of rationalism. In “The Hat”, a polish Jew on the run in Eastern Europe goes down to a town in search for food and, noticing the large number of German soldiers on patrol, hides himself in a funeral procession. But he stands out as the only mourner without a hat. As he walks along, another man places his hat on the fugitive’s head: an example of man’s humanity to man. In “Living with the Polish Count”, the young Soviet Republic struggles to keep foreign and reactionary forces at bay and in so doing loses the morality that initially inspired them. In “The Selfish Geneticist”, lunch in a smart restaurant exposes the rift between two academics, both dogmatic and contemptuous of others, but one more strictly rational and the other more influenced by his human emotions.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 942円 |
 States Without Nations Citizenship for Mortals【電子書籍】[ Jacqueline Stevens ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞As citizens, we hold certain truths to be self-evident: that the rights to own land, marry, inherit property, and especially to assume birthright citizenship should be guaranteed by the state. The laws promoting these rights appear not only to preserve our liberty but to guarantee society remains just. Yet considering how much violence and inequality results from these legal mandates, Jacqueline Stevens asks whether we might be making the wrong assumptions. Would a world without such laws be more just?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Arguing that the core laws of the nation-state are more about a fear of death than a desire for freedom, Jacqueline Stevens imagines a world in which birthright citizenship, family inheritance, state-sanctioned marriage, and private land ownership are eliminated. Would chaos be the result? Drawing on political theory and history and incorporating contemporary social and economic data, she brilliantly critiques our sentimental attachments to birthright citizenship, inheritance, and marriage and highlights their harmful outcomes, including war, global apartheid, destitution, family misery, and environmental damage. It might be hard to imagine countries without the rules of membership and ownership that have come to define them, but as Stevens shows, conjuring new ways of reconciling our laws with the condition of mortality reveals the flaws of our present institutions and inspires hope for moving beyond them.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,659円 |
 Gods and Mortals Modern Poems on Classical Myths【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞For centuries, poets have looked into the mirror of classical myth to show us the many ways our emotional lives are still reflected in the ancient stories of heroism, hubris, transformation, and loss that myths so eloquently tell. Now, in ＜em＞Gods and Mortals: Modern Poems on Classical Myths＜/em＞, we have the first anthology to gather the great 20th century myth-inspired poems from around the world. "Perhaps it is because the myths echo the structure of our unconscious that every new generation of poets finds them a source of inspiration and self-recognition," says Nina Kossman in her introduction to this marvelous collection. Indeed, from Valery, Yeats, Lawrence, Rilke, Akhmatova, and Auden writing in the first half of the century to such contemporary poets as Lucille Clifton, Derek Walcott, Rita Dove, Wislawa Szymborska, and Mark Strand, the material of Greek myth has elicited a poetry of remarkably high achievement. And by organizing the poems first into broad categories such as "Heroes," "Lovers," "Trespassers," and secondly around particular mythological figures such as Persephone, Orpheus, or Narcissus, readers are treated to a fascinating spectrum of poems on the same subject. For example, the section on Odysseus includes poems by Cavafy, W. S. Merwin, Gregory Corso, Gabriel Zaid, Louise Gluck, Wallace Stevens, and many others. Thus we are allowed to see the familiar Greek hero refracted through the eyes, and sharply varying stylistic approaches, of a wide range of poets from around the world. Here, then, is a collection of extraordinary poems that testifies to--and amply rewards--our ongoing fascination with classical myth.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 5,755円 |
