Brought to you by Penguin.There is in Athens a rather plain ruin; a simple courtyard lined with fragments of wall. Yet, this little patch of land has a claim to be the most significant place in human history. It is the Lyceum, site of Aristotle's school: here the philosopher wandered, discussing his life's work with students, proposing answers to the mysteries of the human condition.Today, it can be difficult to fully comprehend the staggering influence of these lessons. Aristotle's observations about the world around him and his reflections on the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for all empirical science. His study of rational thought formed the basis of formal logic, the cornerstone of philosophical investigation. His examination of Greek city-states gave us political science, while his analysis of drama remains a mainstay of literature courses around the world.In lucid prose, acclaimed philosopher John Sellars takes us on a journey through Aristotle's thought, vividly bringing to life the key ideas, and demonstrating that the famous philosopher's capacity for curiosity continues to offer us all a vision of more fulfilled lives. Aristotle has lessons still to teach.(c)2023 John Sellars (P)2023 Penguin Audio

1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to build an egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the party line; over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty and desire. This fervid, ground-breaking novel, written when Reimann was only twenty-seven, remains one of the cult classics of East German literature.

Gillian Rose was a star academic, acclaimed as one of the most dazzling and original thinkers of her time. Told that she had incurable cancer, she found a new way to explore the world and herself. Tender, heartbreakingly honest, written with moments of surprising humour and often exhilarating, Love's Work is the result.In this short, unforgettable memoir, Rose looks back on her childhood, from the young dyslexic girl, torn between father and stepfather, to the adolescent confronting her Jewish inheritance. As an adult, Gillian Rose proves herself a passionate friend, a searcher for truth, a woman in love and, finally, an exacting but generous patient.Intertwining the personal and the philosophical, Rose meditates on faith, conflict and injustice; the fallibility and endurance of love; our yearning for independence and for connection to others. With droll self-knowledge ('I am highly qualified in unhappy love affairs,' Rose writes) and with unsettling wisdom ('To live, to love, is to be failed'), Love's Work asks the unanswerable question: how is a life best lived?

So how do you do it? The answer - according to world-renowned strategy consultant Dorie Clark - is to be yourself, entirely and unapologetically.You might not know what your breakthrough idea is. You might know, but have no idea how to implement it. You might think you have an idea, but you don't trust yourself enough to pursue it. Regardless of what's holding you back, this book will teach you how to burst through that barrier and establish yourself as an individual thought leader - and it's as simple as being true to who you are. Drawing on interviews from some of the most influential thought leaders in the world, including Seth Godin, Daniel Pink and David Allen, Clark shows you how to break through the clamour of everyday life, understand yourself and your worth, and ultimately inspire others to embrace your vision. Unapologetically You is a manifesto for individuality. Whoever you are, whatever your perspective - your ideas matter. The world won't wait for you. It needs your insights, and now is the time to be bold, daring and unapologetic.
