Every day we&apos;re bombarded with methods, mantras and life-hacks that promise us mindfulness, prosperity and wellness. We read countless self-help books to unlock the seven habits, twelve rules or one big secret to living a long and happy life, while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources. The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in day out? Maybe you want to do something else with your limited time on the planet. Maybe your own happiness isn&apos;t your only life goal, or you don&apos;t want to get to your deathbed with the gnawing feeling you had much more in you. In that case, you&apos;ll need a different kind of book. Internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman shows us that with moral ambition &ndash; the will to make the world a wildly better place &ndash; it is possible to be both idealistic and successful, and to change the world along the way. Looking to the great change-makers of history, he uncovers the qualities that made them so persuasive, influential and effective, and shows how we, too, can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to gross inequality to the next pandemic. With moral ambition, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself. This is not a self-help book. It won&apos;t make your life easier &ndash; but it should make it more meaningful. The question is: what will you do with it?

This book is a reflection upon the anarchist turn. It takes three newish anarchists and interprets their work following the method of exegesis. Two questions guide the work. What can the anarchist turn tell us about revolution and nonviolence and what can it tell us about contemporary religion? The protagonists are David Graeber, Timothy Morton and Simon Critchley. This book is of interest to anarchists, activists, and philosophers. Indeed anyone doing and interested in interdisciplinary approaches to important cultural questions and the building of nonviolent cultures should find at least parts of this book interesting.

<b>A guide to awakening buddha mind for the contemporary Zen practitioner.</b><br/><br/>In the words of Eihei D&#333;gen, the thirteenth-century Buddhist monk who introduced the S&#333;t&#333; school of Zen to Japan, &ldquo;To study the Buddha way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things." Centuries later, these enigmatic words from his seminal &ldquo;Genj&#333;k&#333;an" (&ldquo;Actualizing the Fundamental Point") are still studied in Zen communities the world over.<br/><br/>But what did D&#333;gen really mean when he encouraged studying the self to forget the self? In this clarifying new commentary, esteemed Zen teacher Shinshu Roberts takes readers on a journey to understand Japan&rsquo;s great Buddhist philosopher. Roberts applies her deep familiarity with D&#333;gen&rsquo;s work to illuminate the text as a unified story in which D&#333;gen reveals the nondual nature of reality.<br/><br/>In addition to a full translation of D&#333;gen&rsquo;s &ldquo;Genj&#333;k&#333;an," this book includes the commentary <i>Okikigakish&#333;</i> (&ldquo;Notes of What Was Heard and Extracted"), written by two of D&#333;gen&rsquo;s direct students&mdash;the first time an English translation of this highly influential work has appeared in print.
