There is not just a desire but a profound human need for enhancement - the irrepressible yearning to become better than ourselves. Today, enhancement is often conceived of in terms of biotechnical intervention: genetic modification, prostheses, implants, drug therapy - even mind uploading. The theme of this book is an ancient form of enhancement: a physical upgrade that involves ethical practices of self-realization. It has been called 'angelification' - a transformation by which people become angels.

This book examines the origins of the evil creator idea chiefly in light of early Christian biblical interpretations. It is divided into two parts. In Part I, the focus is on the interpretations of Exodus and John. Firstly, ancient Egyptian assimilation of the Jewish god to the evil deity Seth-Typhon is studied to understand its reapplication by Phibionite and Sethian Christians to the Judeo-catholic creator. Secondly, the Christian reception of John 8:44 (understood to refer to the devil's father) is shown to implicate the Judeo-catholic creator in murdering Christ.

Dies ist kein Selbsthilfehörbuch. Es ist ein Weckruf. In seinem Weltbestseller Can’t Hurt Me bewies David Goggins anhand seiner beeindruckenden Geschichte, wie viel ungenutztes Potenzial in jedem Menschen schlummert und dass man mit dem richtigen Mindset selbst das scheinbar Unmögliche erreichen kann. Doch das war erst der Anfang, denn das Streben nach immer neuen Höchstleistungen kennt keine Ziellinie.

Em linha com os Gedankenexperiments, ou experimentos mentais, de Albert Einstein, David Souza imagina a evolução da tecnologia aliada à evolução da dinâmica social para criar a história de Teo, habitante de “Carboxy”, apelido carinhoso dado à fusão das conurbações do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo no Brasil de 2038. A explosão populacional é tamanha que as pessoas são obrigadas a viver dentro de seus carros para ficar mais próximos aos seus lugares de trabalho. A privacidade e o espaço pessoal já não existem, tudo é filmado por milhares de nanodrones.

Despite the recent ferocious public debate about belief, the concept most central to the discussion "God" frequently remains vaguely and obscurely described. Are those engaged in these arguments even talking about the same thing? In a wide-ranging response to this confusion, esteemed scholar David Bentley Hart pursues a clarification of how the word "God” functions in the world’s great theistic faiths.

For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. Civilisation, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the 18th century as a reaction to Indigenous critiques of European society and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilisation itself.

If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based one of the largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from 37 cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior.

Imagine a world in which Gen Xers, millennials, and boomers interact with young people in ways that leave them feeling inspired, enthusiastic, and ready to contribute—rather than disengaged, outraged, or overwhelmed. That world may be closer than you think.

O Natal está quase chegando, o que é motivo de grande alegria para Lily, que sente que chegou a hora, finalmente, de se apaixonar. Para encontrar sua cara-metade de forma nada óbvia, ela montou, junto de seu irmão, um plano: deixou um caderninho vermelho repleto de tarefas em uma das prateleiras de sua livraria favorita – e mais caótica, vale ressaltar – da cidade, na expectativa de que o cara certo apareça e aceite o desafio.

The now widely known map of calibrated levels of consciousness was presented in Power vs. Force in 1995 and has been translated into all the world's major languages.

La desobediencia civil es el título de una conferencia escrita por Henry David Thoreau que se publicó en 1849. En este escrito Thoreau explica los principios básicos de la desobediencia civil que él mismo puso en práctica: en el verano de 1846 se negó a pagar sus impuestos por lo que fue detenido y encerrado en la prisión de Concord. Él se justificó explicando que se negaba a colaborar con un Estado que mantenía el régimen de esclavitud y emprendía guerras injustificadas, en aquel caso concreto contra México.
