Book excerpt: Few books have made a greater impact, political as much as literary, than Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, perhaps the most famous of anti-war novels. Startling in its realism, moving in its humanity and banned and burned in Germany by the Nazis, it was an international publishing sensation. But who was Erich Maria Remarque? While the title of his masterpiece has entered the language as a catch-phrase, its author is virtually forgotten. In this biography, Hilton Tims attempts to reveal a man whose life was one of the most romantic and anguished of the 20th century.

Book excerpt: In this important, entertaining book, one of the world's most celebrated psychologists, Martin Seligman, asserts that happiness can be learned and cultivated, and that everyone has the power to inject real joy into their lives. In Authentic Happiness, he describes the 24 strengths and virtues unique to the human psyche. Each of us, it seems, has at least five of these attributes, and can build on them to identify and develop to our maximum potential. By incorporating these strengths - which include kindness, originality, humour, optimism, curiosity, enthusiasm and generosity -- into our everyday lives, he tells us, we can reach new levels of optimism, happiness and productivity. Authentic Happiness provides a variety of tests and unique assessment tools to enable readers to discover and deploy those strengths at work, in love and in raising children. By accessing the very best in ourselves, we can improve the world around us and achieve new and lasting levels of authentic contentment and joy.
Download or read book Thousand Paths to Success written by Robert Allen and published by Spruce. This book was released on 2005-01-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all want success. Our whole society is built on the idea. In former times, mere survival was enough of a challenge for the majority of people but now we expect much more. People are engaged in a quest to obtain success both for themselves and their families. But what is success? For many it is all about wealth, possessions, status and power. They believe that these are the things that make life worth living and they can never be truly happy without them. This book was not written for such people. This sort of success is shallow and pointless. It offers a mirage of happiness but delivers only misery and dissatisfaction. True success lies in our ability to find a rich, meaningful and fulfiling life. The successful people in this world have been those who were more interested in helping others and who showed by example that we can all be successful if we share whatever happiness we are fortunate enough to enjoy.

Download or read book Four Thousand Weeks written by Oliver Burkeman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." —Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks. 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. 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,” Four Thousand Weeks 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—and that we could do things differently.
Download or read book Happiness written by Darrin M. McMahon and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intellectual history of man's most elusive yet coveted goal. Today, we think of happiness as a natural right, but people haven't always felt this way. Historian McMahon argues that our modern belief in happiness is a recent development, the product of a revolution in human expectations carried out since the eighteenth century. He investigates that fundamental transformation by synthesizing two thousand years of politics, culture, and thought. In ancient Greek tragedy, happiness was considered a gift of the gods. During the Enlightenment men and women were first introduced to the novel prospect that they could--in fact should--be happy in this life as opposed to the hereafter. This recognition of happiness as a motivating ideal led to its consecration in the Declaration of Independence. McMahon then shows how our modern search continues to generate new forms of pleasure, but also, paradoxically, new forms of pain.--From publisher description.
Download or read book Happiness and Success Full Version written by Raphaël Savoy and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do successful people do it? How do they always live life to the fullest, despite numerous obstacles? What do they have that people who fail don't? Are there secrets to their success? Recipes that work? You strive for a better, easier, and happier life. You are fed up with living in gloom, frustration, stress, or discouragement. You want to rediscover motivation, joy, and inner peace. You want to succeed. You think you have tried everything and you have maybe even already read dozens of books in your quest to find answers. The author has read more than a thousand of them. Over 40 years, he has read, tested, observed, and experienced everything. Some books talk only about willingness or positive thinking. Others resemble academic papers or are so philosophical that they are just hot air. Others still offer only illusions, promising happiness and success by using a few mystical formulae. But there are also brilliant books: the ones by Katie Byron that talk about real letting go, the ones by Eckhart Tolle that demonstrate the power of the present moment, and the ones by Anthony Robbins that truly inspire to take action. Many others still have a few nuggets to offer and contribute their own ideas. "Happiness and Success - Full version" is not a mere compilation of the best existing techniques, but the result of 40 years of work and experience that has taken the form of a comprehensive method. You will find inside only formulas that work, and it's the subtle alchemy between all the elements that makes the recipe a good one. You will learn how to use the incredible power of your brain to overcome your worst enemy, the one that lurks within you. You will understand how to make a few tiny adjustments to the way you see things so that everything can start falling into place. You will see how to free yourself from fear, which Napoleon Hill described as the main reason for failure more than 50 years ago. Decide at last to turn your life into a masterpiece. Read, break your chains, come out from Plato's cave ... and succeed. You can find more information about the book and the author, as well as a regularly updated blog, on: www.happiness-and-success.life
