Tenk som en munk

Hva trenger alle mennesker i den moderne verden å vite?Den anerkjente - og kontroversielle - psykologiprofessoren Jordan Petersons svar på dette vanskelige spørsmålet kombinerer innsikt fra eldgamle kulturer med forbløffende åpenbaringer fra den aller siste vitenskapelige forskningen. Hva kan nervesystemet til en hummer fortelle oss om å rette ryggen og oppnå suksess i livet? Hvorfor anså egypterne evnen til å være oppmerksom som den høyeste guddom? Hvilken vanskelig retning i livet venter mennesker som blir bitre, arrogante og hevntørste? Peterson slår opp et bredt lerret og diskuterer disiplin, frihet, eventyr og ansvar - destillert ned til 12 praktiske og dypsindige regler for livet. «12 regler for livet» tar livet av mange moderne floskler om vitenskap, tro og den menneskelige natur, og utvider og foredler leserens tanke og bevissthet.

The Courage to Be Disliked

Hva er meningen med livet? Spørsmålet har vært stilt gang på gang, til alle tider og i alle kulturer. I denne bokas syv kapitler nærmer forfatter Thomas Hylland Eriksen seg spørsmålet, og gir ikke ett, men mange ulike svar. «Ingen fornuftige mennesker har noen gang trodd at livets mening dreier seg om å skaffe seg så mange ting som mulig», skriver Thomas Hylland Eriksen i denne boka, og tilføyer: «I en viss forstand er vi fremdeles like utenfor huleåpningen, eller på torget i Aten, eller under banyantreet, i lotusstilling, foran Gautama Buddhas føtter.» Menneskeheten har gjort enorme fremskritt innen teknologi og vitenskap, men når det gjelder spørsmål om livets mening og det gode samfunn, er vi samtidige med alle mennesker som har levd. Derfor har vi noe å lære av både urfolkene uten skrift og stat, antikkens tenkere og streberne på hamsterhjulet. Thomas Hylland Eriksen høster innsikter fra alle. Denne boka er et destillat av seksti års væren i en verden som er blitt større for hvert år. Det hender riktignok at forfatteren ikke gir svar, men i så fall er han i det minste i nærheten av spørsmålet.

Syv meninger med livet

Hva gjør du når livet ditt er forutbestemt? Når det forventes at du skal være noen du ikke er? Hele livet mitt har jeg spilt en rolle. Jeg prøvde å være en perfekt kristen. Jeg feiret hverken bursdager eller jul, men gikk i stedet fra dør til dør og forkynte verdens undergang. Min verden dreide seg om troen min. Jeg ville ofret livet mitt for Gud. Årene med psykisk terror, manipulasjon og min egen mor, som med alle sine krefter forsøkte å beskytte meg mot djevelen og hans demoner, drev meg nesten til selvmord. Etter at jeg måtte kutte alle bånd med min elskede far, begynte jeg å leve et dobbeltliv. Jeg våknet sakte opp og innså at jeg måtte ta skjebnen i egne hender. Jeg måtte kjempe for friheten min.

New York Times Bestseller A Reading Pick for Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

Æresdrap fra mannens perspektiv. De siste tre årene har Lene Wold tilbrakt mye tid i Jordan sammen med en far som har drept både sin mor og en av sine to døtre for å gjenopprette familiens ære. Wold har snakket med den andre, overlevende datteren som satt flere år i fengsel i etterkant av drapsforsøket for å beskyttes mot sin egen familie. Forfatteren har besøkt fengsler og moskeer, gjennomgått avis- og rettsarkiver, og oppsøkt imamer, landsbyledere og drapsmenn. Ved hjelp av et unikt kildemateriale belyser hun en hittil ukjent side ved æresdrap. Vi får historien fra gjerningspersonens perspektiv, og Wold viser at æresdrap ikke handler om islam, men om tradisjoner og lovverk som kan utfordres og forandres. "Ære være mine døtre" er en rystende fortelling om hva som får en far til sette fellesskapets verdier foran livet til sine egne barn. Det er en unik og hjerteskjærende historie leseren ikke forblir uberørt av.

Becoming Supernatural marries the some of the most profound scientific information with ancient wisdom to show how people like you and me can experience a more mystical life.

En oktoberdag i 2013 kommer ikke de to tenåringsjentene, Ayan og Leila, hjem til vanlig tid. Senere på kvelden kommer sjokkmeldingen: De er på vei til Syria. På jakt etter døtrene tar faren seg inn i det borgerkrigsherjede landet, en reise som skal føre ham inn i områder kontrollert av Den islamske staten (IS). Dette er bare starten. I To søstre går Åsne Seierstad, den bestselgende og kritikerroste forfatteren av Bokhandleren i Kabul og En av oss, løs på et av de viktigste og mest kompliserte spørsmål i vår tid. Hvorfor radikaliseres muslimsk ungdom oppvokst i Vesten? Hva førte de to søstrene fra Kolsås til Kalifatet? Hvem er Ayan og Leila? Som få andre makter Åsne Seierstad å komme tett på personene hun skriver om. To søstre er både historien om jentene som dro, et land i krig og om en familie som splintres. Det er også en fortelling om oss, i Norge i dag.

In troubled times, there is an urgency to understand ourselves and our world. We have so many questions, and they tug at us night and day, consciously and unconsciously. In this important volume Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh—one of the most revered spiritual leaders in the world today—reveals an art of living in mindfulness that helps us answer life’s deepest questions and experience the happiness and freedom we desire. Thich Nhat Hanh presents, for the first time, seven transformative meditations that open up new perspectives on our lives, our relationships and our interconnectedness with the world around us. Based on the last full talks before his sudden hospitalization, and drawing on intimate examples from his own life, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how these seven meditations can free us to live a happy, peaceful and active life, and face ageing and dying with curiosity and joy and without fear. Containing the essence of the Buddha’s teachings and Thich Nhat Hanh’s poignant, timeless, and clarifying prose, The Art of Living provides a spiritual dimension to our lives. This is not an effort to escape life or to dwell in a place of bliss outside of this world. Instead, this path will allow us to discover where we come from and where we are going. And most of all, it will generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply in each moment of our life, right where we are.

The Art of Living

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ‘Utterly fascinating' NEW YORK TIMES 'A profound, rich document’NEW STATESMAN 'An act of intimate storytelling'VOGUE A recently discovered journal from one of America's most iconic writers, Joan Didion, the author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights. In November 1999, Joan Didion began seeing a psychiatrist because, as she wrote to a friend, her family had had 'a rough few years'. She described the sessions in a journal she created for her husband, John Gregory Dunne. For several months, Didion recorded conversations with the psychiatrist in meticulous detail. The initial sessions focused on the heartbreaking complexities of her relationship with her daughter, Quintana: adoption, depression, alcoholism, anxiety, guilt. The subjects evolved to include her work, which she was finding difficult to maintain for sustained periods. There were discussions about her own childhood – misunderstandings and lack of communication with her mother and father, her early tendency to anticipate catastrophe – and the question of legacy, or, as she put it, 'what it’s been worth'. The analysis would continue for more than a decade. Didion’s journal was crafted with the singular intelligence, precision, and elegance that characterize all of her writing. It is an unprecedently intimate account that reveals sides of her that were unknown, but the voice is unmistakably hers – questioning, courageous, and clear in the face of a wrenchingly painful journey.

Notes to John

Har du noen gang tenkt du skal lese Bibelen, men ikke orket tanken på alle ættelistene, salmer, ordspråk og gammelt språk? Bibelen i kortversjon er alt du trenger: Alle de klassiske historiene i Bibelen, levende gjengitt fra hebraisk og gresk til et moderne norsk, men med vekt på å beholde den opprinnelige meningen intakt. De fleste vil mene det hører med til dannelsen å ha lest Bibelen. For å forstå vår egen kultur, og ikke minst kunne avkode tidlige tiders kulturuttrykk, må man kunne sin Bibel. Men en så stor og mangslungen tekstmengde kan virke vanskelig og komplisert å ta fatt på. Bibelen i kortversjon har samlet alle de sentrale tekstene, og kan vekke gleden over å lese verdens viktigste bok om igjen eller for første gang. Utvalg og oversettelse ved Kjell Arild Pollestad.

Bibelen i kortversjon

Verdas viktigaste bok, Bibelen, forklart slik at alle kan forstå Bibelen er så mykje meir enn ei bok, den er eit heilt bibliotek med noveller, biografiar, poesi, helteepos og apokalypsar. For å forstå oss sjølv må vi kjenne Bibelen; boka er heilt sentral for kulturen vår. Men Bibelen kan vere tung å lese. Oslos populære biskop, Kari Veiteberg, gir oss ein enklare veg inn til Bibel-tekstane. Frå evangelia tek ho oss med til det gamle testamentet og vidare til breva, salmane og merkelege tekstar som Johannes' openbaring. Ho fortel om fæle tekstar, og tekstar som har blitt brukt til å halde kvinner nede. Vi får vite kor kjende uttrykk som «perler for svin» og «ulv i fåreklær» kjem frå, og i bokas flotte illustrasjonar ser vi korleis Bibelen er gjenskapt i verdskunsten. Denne kunnskapsrike og inspirerande teksten frå Kari Veiteberg får oss til å oppdage Bibelen på ny, eller for første gong.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A powerful and accessible translation of Marcus Aurelius’s timeless book on character, what it takes to be a good leader, and how to live a fulfilling life. Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire at its height, yet he remained untainted by the immense wealth and absolute power that had corrupted many of his predecessors. He knew the secret of how to live the good life amid trying and often catastrophic circumstances, of how to find happiness and peace when surrounded by misery and turmoil, and how to make the right choices—even if they are more difficult—without regard for self-interest. Offering a vivid and fresh translation of this important piece of ancient literature, Meditations brings Marcus’s inspiring words to life and shows his wisdom to be as relevant today as it was in the second century. This book speaks to the soul of anyone who has ever faced adversity or believed in a better day. *Previously published as The Emperor’s Handbook

1749 nordmenn tror at de – og bare de – er på vei mot himmelen. Medlemmene av Menigheten Samfundet i Kristiansand og Egersund kan bare gifte seg med hverandre. Barna skal gå på menighetens skoler. Tolv menn bestemmer. 19 år gamle Robin Andersen ønsker å bryte med menigheten, men våger han? Hele familien hans, mamma, pappa, søsken, besteforeldre på begge sider, tanter, onkler og alle vennene hans – absolutt alle tilhører menigheten. Og han har sett hvordan det er gått med andre som har meldt seg ut. I uke etter uke gjennom sju år – mens han står midt oppe i det vanskelige – forteller Robin sin historie. Ved hjelp av interne og hemmelige dokumenter avdekker forfatter Bjørn Markussen hvordan Samfundet styres, reglene som skal følges, og hvordan menighetens levende vitner bruker Bibelen når de forkynner at alle andre kirker er falsklærende. Robin Andersens fortelling veves sammen med et portrett av trossamfunnet han vil ut av. Menigheten Samfundets særegne og kontrollerende regelverk og holdning til omverdenen blir grundig dokumentert.

The Courage To Be Disliked

Til meg selv er et menneskelig dokument uten sidestykke. Keiser Marcus Aurelius ble født 26. april 121 under keiser Hadrians regjering. Den dagbok vi har fra ham fikk meget tidlig, allerede i håndskriftene, tittelen "Til seg selv". "Meditasjoner", "Tanker", "Betraktninger" er også brukt, men "Til meg selv" som den heter her, dekker best bokens innhold. Boken er skrevet som en strengt privat og personlig hjelp for en mann med et enormt ansvar hvilende på seg, i en periode da hans ensomhet vokste og hans legemlige krefter tok av, samtidig som den ene kritiske situasjon etter den andre dukket opp og krevde det ytterste av ham. Etter hvert kom kravet om overbærenhet sterkere og sterkere frem: - hva vet man egentlig om et annet menneskes 'hegemonikon, dets styrende, innerste jeg? Det er så mange motiver som kan være skjult!

Til meg selv

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) var en amerikansk forfatter, filosof og talsmann for friluftslivet. Thoreau var utdannet ved Harvard, men avsto fra diplom grunnet diplomavgiften. Etter dette arbeidet han delvis som lærer, delvis på familiens pennefabrikk, samt skrev dikt og poesi. Thoreau regnes som en av de tre store klassikerne i eldre amerikansk litteratur. De to andre er Herman Melville og Walt Whitman. Thoreau har visse likhetspunkter med dem begge, men samtidig skiller han seg ifra dem ved at han aldri - bortsett fra diktene - utga skjønnlitteratur. Thoreaus bror døde tidlig, og som følge av dette valgte han å bo alene med foreldrene. Mellom 4. juli 1845 og 6. september 1847 foregikk hans ensomhets-eksperiment i hytta ved innsjøen Walden. Oppholdet er skildret i denne boken "Walden – Livet i skogene".

Filosofiens historie

From one of America’s most brilliant writers, a New York Times bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer—and the reason we make other people suffer—is that we don’t see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this “sublime” (The New Yorker), pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life—how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright’s landmark book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world’s most skilled meditators. The result is a story that is “provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding” (The New York Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating. Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.

Why Buddhism is True

I sin forrige bok, 12 regler for livet, inspirerte psykologiprofessor Jordan B. Peterson millioner av mennesker over hele verden til å skape orden i en kaotisk tilværelse. I denne lenge etterlengtede oppfølgeren går Peterson ytterligere et skritt videre, og viser at det er viktig med mer enn bare orden. Han mener det også er avgjørende å strekke seg utenfor det velkjente og på den måten tilpasse seg en verden i evig forandring. Mens for mye kaos truer med å føre oss ut i usikkerheten, vil for mye orden føre til en mangel på nysgjerrighet og kreativ vitalitet. Forfatteren oppfordrer derfor til å forsøke å finne balansen mellom virkelighetens to fundamentale prinsipper – orden og kaos – og viser at dyp mening kan finnes der disse møtes. Ved å trekke veksler på visdom fra tidligere tider, så vel som dype personlige lærdommer fra eget liv og klinisk praksis, gir Peterson oss tolv nye prinsipper som veileder leserne mot en mer meningsfull verden. «Den mest innflytelsesrike intellektuelle tenkeren i den vestlige verden akkurat nå.» The New York Times

Mer enn bare orden

Our competitive, service-oriented societies are taking a toll on the late-modern individual. Rather than improving life, multitasking, "user-friendly" technology, and the culture of convenience are producing disorders that range from depression to attention deficit disorder to borderline personality disorder. Byung-Chul Han interprets the spreading malaise as an inability to manage negative experiences in an age characterized by excessive positivity and the universal availability of people and goods. Stress and exhaustion are not just personal experiences, but social and historical phenomena as well. Denouncing a world in which every against-the-grain response can lead to further disempowerment, he draws on literature, philosophy, and the social and natural sciences to explore the stakes of sacrificing intermittent intellectual reflection for constant neural connection. This audiobook is expertly read by Peter Noble, with audio engineering by Logan Nyman. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Korleis bli eit godt menneske? På toppen blir me ståande stille eit sekund eller to, vippande på kanten av stupet. «Gift deg eller gift deg ikkje, du vil angre på begge delar», tenkjer eg. Eg drar Minnie Mus-ringen fram og stikk han opp i ansiktet hans. «Vil du gifte deg med meg!?!» Er filosofi høgtsvevande og teoretisk visvas, eller kan det òg ha praktisk nytte? I denne underhaldande boka testar Agnes Ravatn ut korleis dei ulike filosofiske skulane fungerer i kvardagen, i eit halvhjarta forsøk på å bli eit betre menneske. På vegen mot det gode livet går ho på ski med Kant, arrangerer symposium i Platons ånd og trulovar seg etter råd frå Kierkegaard. Stoisk uro og andre filosofiske smular er ei sjarmerande samling tekstar som vekker både latter og undring.

Stoisk uro

The Number One international bestseller featuring contributions from Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Ryan Holiday, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, and Aaron James. ‘We need books like this one’ Steven Pinker Stupidity is all around us, from the colleagues who won’t stop hitting ‘reply all’ to the former school friends posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to battle idiocy, we must first understand it. In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world’s leading psychologists and thinkers – including a Nobel Prize winner – will show you . . . · Why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense · How our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions · Why trying to debate with fools is a trap · How media manipulation and Internet overstimulation makes us dumber · Why the stupidest people don’t think they’re stupid As long as there have been humans there has been human stupidity, but with wit and wisdom these great thinkers can help us understand this persistent human affliction.

The Psychology of Stupidity

Revisit one of the most important pillars in modern philosophy with this new English translation—the first in more than 60 years—of Jean-Paul Sartre’s seminal treatise on existentialism. “This is a philosophy to be reckoned with, both for its own intrinsic power and as a profound symptom of our time” (The New York Times). In 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre published his masterpiece, Being and Nothingness, and laid the foundation of his legacy as one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers. A brilliant and radical account of the human condition, Being and Nothingness explores what gives our lives significance. In a new and more accessible translation, this foundational text argues that we alone create our values and our existence is characterized by freedom and the inescapability of choice. Far from being an internal, passive container for our thoughts and experiences, human consciousness is constantly projecting itself into the outside world and imbuing it with meaning. Now with a new foreword by Harvard professor of philosophy Richard Moran, this clear-eyed translation guarantees that the groundbreaking ideas that Sartre introduced in this resonant work will continue to inspire for generations to come.

Being and Nothingness

The Bhagavad Gita has been called India's greatest contribution to the world. For more than five thousand years, this great scripture has shown millions in the East how to fill their lives with serenity and love. In these pages, Jack Hawley brings these ancient secrets to Western seekers in a beautiful prose version that makes the story of the Gita clear and exciting, and makes its truths understandable and easy to apply to our busy lives. The Gita is a universal love song sung by God to His friend man. It can't be confined by any creed. It is a statement of the truths at the core of what we all already believe, only it makes those truths clearer, so they become immediately useful in our daily lives. These truths are for our hearts, not just our heads. The Gita is more than just a book, more than mere words or concepts. There is an accumulated potency in it. To read the Gita is to be inspired in the true sense of the term: to be “inspirited,” to inhale the ancient and ever-new breath of spiritual energy.

Stoisk ro forklarer hvorfor vi har mye å lære av stoisismen, en filosofisk retning som oppsto i Hellas rundt 300 år f.Kr. I antikken ble stoisk filosofi formidlet i muntlig dialog mellom lærer og elev. I samme ånd inviterer forfatteren til refleksjon over spørsmål som går til kjernen av det å være et menneske. Hva er godt og dårlig for et menneske? Hva er følelser? Hva er visdom? Finnes det en Gud, eller finnes bare Naturen? Filosof Jens Oscar Jenssen tar utgangspunkt i visdomsord, praktiske øvelser og resonnementer som ble utviklet av stoikerne, og viser hvordan deres livsfilosofi kan brukes i et moderne hverdagsliv. Samtidig anskueliggjør han hvor mye vi kan lære av stoikernes tanker om etikk, vitenskap, religiøsitet og psykologi.

In The Mission of God's People: Audio Lectures author and international ministries expert Chris Wright explores how God's big-picture plan directs the purpose of God's people, the church. Each session emphasizes what the Old Testament teaches Christians about being the people of God and addresses both ecclesiology and missiology with topics like "called to care for creation," "called to bless the nations," "sending and being sent," and "rejecting false gods." The Mission of God's People: Audio Lectures provide pastors, teachers, students, and lay learners with first-rate biblical study while at the same time addressing the practical concerns of contemporary ministry.

""C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way."" — Anthony Burgess, New York Times Book Review Our moral consciousness and moral judgements are proof to the human race that a moral being exists—God. Mere Christianity explores the core beliefs of Christianity by providing an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. A brilliant collection, Mere Christianity remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writer and thinkers of our age. The book brings together Lewis’ legendary broadcast talks during World War II. Lewis discusses that everyone is curious about: right and wrong, human nature, morality, marriage, sins, forgiveness, faith, hope, generosity, and kindness.

Forgiving What You Can't Forget

Arne Næss ønsker større bevissthet om den avgjørende rolle som følelsene faktisk spiller i menneskenes tanker og handlinger. Han mener at svært mange reflekterer altfor lite over sitt liv og sin tilværelse. Eller de begynner med det for sent. Det er stor forskjell på å fungere som menneske og å være bevisst om at det er akkurat nå du lever. «Livsfilosofi» er en bok der spørsmålene er flere og viktigere enn svarene.

Livsfilosofi

Sophie Kasiki er sosialarbeider og lar seg overbevise om å reise til Syria for å hjelpe. Hun blir lurt og til slutt innesperret med sin fire år gamle sønn. Styrket av sin manns ubetingede kjærlighet hjemme i Frankrike, må hun stå opp mot alle slags farer for å redde sin sønn og få ham med seg hjem. Et enestående vitnesbyrd og en rystende fortelling fra det dypeste mørke.

Ut av mørket

Selv om store deler av Bibelens budskap retter seg mot de troende, har historikere møysommelig gjennomgått Det gamle og Det nye testamente og brukt skriftene som kilde til å kartlegge tiden da verdens første sivilisasjoner oppsto. Riktignok er det umulig å bekrefte fortellingene i Bibelen fra et historisk perspektiv, men mytene kan ha opphav i virkelige hendelser. Derfor jakter geologer på sannheten om syndfloden og Noahs ark, meteorologer og biologer prøver å gjenskape de ti landeplagene som rammet Egypt, og bibelforskere leter iherdig etter spor av katastrofer som kunne ha utslettet byene Sodoma og Gomorra. Boken om Bibelens gåter inneholder spekulasjoner og antakelser, men gir likevel stoff til ettertanke. For vitenskap og tro står kanskje ikke så langt fra hverandre som vi ofte tenker. I bokserien VITENSKAPENS NYE VERDEN deler forskerne sine beste spådommer for de neste store vitenskapelige gjennombruddene fram mot år 2050 – gjennombrudd som blant annet omfatter et botemiddel mot kreft, utvikling av roboter som ikke kan skjelnes fra mennesker, og oppdagelse av de første sikre tegnene til liv i verdensrommet.

Historiens største gåter

Bibelens myter og sannheter

I 1608 fattet Karl IX en skjebnesvanger beslutning som kom til å medføre et hundreårig blodbad. Det gamle testamentet ble gjeldende svensk lov, og med støtte i Andre Mosebok 22:18 "En trollkvinne skal du ikke la leve", ble veien banet for at mer enn 300 svenske kvinner ble brent på bålet som hekser - uskyldig dømt. I sin historiske reportasje følger Jan Guillou sporet fra heksenes og bødlenes bål , helt frem til dagens bestyrtelse rundt påstått masseofring av barn på svarte messer, fortrengte incestminner og barnehjem som sies å ha vært møteplasser for voldtektssekter. Konklusjonen er ikke oppmuntrende: Vi lærer ikke av historien. Eller: Vi har ennå ikke lært å fortelle den forståelig og usensurert. Produsert av NLB i 2006

The setting of 1st and 2nd Maccabees is about a century and a half after the conquest of Judea by the Greeks under Alexander the Great.

British narrator, Christopher Glyn, brings these epic stories to life with an inspired and professional reading. British narrator Christopher Glyn, who draws on 35 years experience as a Christian narrator and broadcaster to bring you this expressive reading which captures the beauty and power of God's Word and makes the King James English clear and easy to understand.

'Illuminating, inspiring and intensely practical' HUGH MACKAY, author of The Good Life 'Brimming with pathos and profound insights' KON KARAPANAGIOTIDIS, author of The Power of Hope Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: we are all born and we will all die.

These are some of the most important conversations we can have with each other – to find peace, kindness and gratitude for what has gone before, and acceptance of what is to come. Dr Ranjana Srivastava draws on two decades of experience to share her observations and advice on leading a meaningful life and finding dignity and composure at its end.

In the beginning, God created Adam. Then he made Eve. And ever since we’ve been picking up the pieces. Loveology is a theology of love from God’s point of view. The five sessions start with God’s design for marriage and works backward, dealing with sexuality, romance, singleness, and what it means to be male and female.

The Loveology audio Bible study is for anyone who wants to learn what the Scriptures have to say about sexuality and relationships and for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, grace-and-truth answers. As you walk through this five-week study, you will come to better understand what God fully intended back in the garden. By comprehending the brilliance behind God’s original plan for love and marriage and sex and romance—if we can redefine that fuzzy, amorphous, confusing word “love” and look at it through the lens of Jesus—your relationships will be radically altered as a result. Sessions include: Love (13:00)Marriage (22:00)Sex (12:00)Romance (16:00)Singleness (18:00)Coordinating study guide available separately.

Loveology: Audio Bible Studies

The Zen master and one of the world's most beloved teachers returns with a concise, practical guide to understanding and developing our most powerful inner resource—silence—to help us find happiness, purpose, and peace. Many people embark on a seemingly futile search for happiness, running as if there is somewhere else to get to, when the world they live in is full of wonder. To be alive is a miracle. Beauty calls to us every day, yet we rarely are in the position to listen. To hear the call of beauty and respond to it, we need silence. Silence shows us how to find and maintain our equanimity amid the barrage of noise. Thich Nhat Hanh guides us on a path to cultivate calm even in the most chaotic places. This gift of silence doesn't require hours upon hours of silent meditation or an existing practice of any kind. Through careful breathing and mindfulness techniques he teaches us how to become truly present in the moment, to recognize the beauty surrounding us, and to find harmony. With mindfulness comes stillness—and the silence we need to come back to ourselves and discover who we are and what we truly want, the keys to happiness and well-being.

Silence
