Books To Discuss Over The Phone

AnthonyBourdain and Laurie WooleverWorld Travel:An Irriverent Guide

I don’t like the stuff about this man’s death.

But I am sure he will be missed.

I borrowed his last book from the library.

And I believe the writer, Laurie Woolever, did a wonderful job.

I have talked to my sister (a fan) about the book and listen to her experience with the show.

I plan to buy her and me the book to have future discussion about it.

Anyway, I do like it and recommend getting it from your local library.

A Life

An excellent book by Laura Dassow Walls

Philosophy is never cheap.

Of the classical branches of philosophy, this one being aesthetics (concerned with beauty and art),

Both the author and the philosopher/writer/walker, bring the reader toward the metaphysics while exploring the inner space of inner peace.

Open yourself to the art and beauty here and now.

“Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.”

-Plato, Theaetetus, 155

What springs to mind when you hear the word ‘ideology’?

Perhaps, the simplest definition is the study of ideas.

But, what about a working definition for those people that take action on an idea?

Let’s play a game where two parties, who claim justice as their intent try to win.

The stakes are high, on our side, if we loose, our freedom will be lost.

On the opposing side, some will loose their freedom and the rest will live to fight another day.

But this game may be very important to you.

You may want to learn more.

Education is key. Please consider learning more about CHARLES PINCOURT’S CounterWokecraft.

Stephen Hawking is a hero of mine.

He wrote a good read called “The Grand Design”.

I picked up my copy for a number of reasons.

It is my favorite book on Cosmology.

I picked up my copy at Value Village.

I live on a bootstrap budget and plan to continue this way Ad infinitude.

But it didn’t stop me from finding a good copy of his book for under 5 bucks.

I use the book in many ways,

It is a great book to contemplate in at least a philosophical manner.

It is a starry excellento reference book.

His co-writer, Leonard Mlodinow is superb.

And he has toiled in cosmology making his books very useful.

“A Brief History of time” to “The Grand Design” is a great run of books.

But he has many contributions to books, articles and other forms of writing.

This woman is sharing her story with us.

She is an important politician, who will make a difference for her Pakistan and the rest of the world.

But she has already done more than most of us can ever hope to do.

This tribute to her is in the form of a book recommendation.

She shows so much to us.  Take a look.

Can Philosophy Help You With Relationships?

 

 

There is a counsellor philosophy that is a method solving life’s ups and downs:  change.

One prescribed method is the PEACE method which is outlined in the book, Plato Not Prozac! by Lou Marinoff, PH.D.

Having an interest in philosophy seems to have spilled over into other areas of my life.

I suggest being a life long student in all your affairs.

In my case, I am curious about everything and there by developed a generalist attitude towards knowledge, life and my day to day affairs.

To put it in a nut shell, can applying philosophy to relationships help solve problem?

I believe we do it all the time.

To establish a set of rules or principles to live by is very virtuous and somewhat frowned on in today’s society.

But to be curious and want more out of life has given me license to see the sense in being more philosophical about relationships.

I am not advocating philosophy as a way to practice living with your significant other, but philosophy has much to give to us all in one form or another.
