Flanagan has firsthand knowledge of what it is like to be an addict. That experience informs this important and novel work. He pairs the sciences that study addiction with a sophisticated view of the consciousness-brain/body relation to make his core argument: that substance addictions comprise a heterogeneous set of "psychobiosocial" behavioral disorders. He explains that substance addictions do not have one set of causes, such as self-medication or social dislocation, and they do not have one neural profile, such as a dysfunction in dopamine system.

"Que otros se jacten de las páginas que han escrito; a mí me enorgullecen las que he leído", decía Borges. Y es que los buenos libros nos transforman; un pasaje, por breve que sea, puede despertar la curiosidad del lector y animarlo a leer una obra que cambie su vida para siempre. He ahí el poder de la literatura, que no sólo nos abre horizontes, sino que deposita en nosotros, de manera lenta pero constante, la clave para entender la vida.

Life is philosophical in nature. It starts by looking at truth, and telling the listener how to judge if something is true or not. We each define our own truth. The trouble is, truth changes. What the world considers true today may be false tomorrow. It sets the stage for the discussion of ideas only marginally accepted as true. This is for everyone over twelve years of age.

Questo non è un libro di morale, né un grido di dolore o, tanto meno, una lamentazione acritica e dozzinale su come va il mondo. Si tratta, molto più semplicemente, di una sorta di testamento spirituale di un uomo che, giunto alle soglie dei sessant'anni, e con la viva speranza di vivere ancora molto a lungo, fa un bilancio non tanto della propriai vita, quanto della vita in générale, cercando di inserirvi tutto quanto in essa ha appreso. Cioè poche cose.

Food for Freedom: Reclaiming Our Health and Rescuing Our World is an exploration into the underlying cultural food narratives in our society, and how they have eroded our freedom, health, spirituality, and awareness. The basic idea is that we have all been wounded from infancy onward, compelled to participate in our culture’s defining social ritual—our meals. With insufficient awareness of the consequences of our routine mistreatment of animals for food, we are causing an ongoing cascade of events and conditions that are harmful to us on every level.

О содержании этой книги с уверенностью можно сказать одно: Заратустра ничего подобного не говорил. Но наверняка не раз обо всем этом задумывался. Потому что вопросы все больше простые и очевидные. Захватывающие погони ума за ускользающей мыслью, насильственное использование букв кириллического алфавита, жестокая трансформация смыслов, гроб на колесиках сансары, кровавые следы полуночных озарений, ослепительное сияние человеческой глупости - все вот это вот, непостижимое и неопределенное. Собственно, Макс Фрай всего этого тоже не говорил.

Imagine that tomorrow you woke up, went out and won the lottery. Now imagine that tomorrow you woke up, went out and lost a limb. Which would make you happier? Amazingly, science suggests that after both of these scenarios, you would most likely return to the same happiness level as before within a relatively short window of time. The Fun Habit shows that fun, unlike happiness, is an action you can take almost anywhere, anytime. Fun is connected to behaviour and habits rather than goals, which means it’s possible to get more fun into your life with intention.

Author Spencer Klavan is a classicist, with a Ph.D. from Oxford, and a deep understanding of the West. His analysis: The situation is dire. But every crisis we face today, we have faced before. And we can surmount each one. Klavan brings to the West’s defense the insights of Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, and the Founding Fathers to show that in the wisdom of the past lies hope for the future.
