＜p＞＜em＞Conceptions of Happiness, Revised Edition＜/em＞ presents the thesis that happiness does not mean just one thing but many, and that these many meanings have been studied, described, argued, and practiced throughout the centuries in many climes and places. When asked if one is happy, people answer according to their own conception of happiness. Their conception may differ from that of the interrogator, who may not be unaware of this fact. People may also deem themselves happy differently at different times in their lives, depending upon their circumstances and on their own estimate of themselves. Therefore, to think that there is just one meaning of happiness spanning a lifetime does not correspond to the facts of life as we know and experience them. This book presents many views of happiness as espoused by their original founders and developers.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞What is love? What is true peace? Is there any alternative to the doomsday? You may find the answers to those questions by reading this story, which featured a Japanese youth who traveled to Sarajevo in 1996. Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Hercegovina and is located in eastern Europe. It is a city where different ethnic groups and religions lived together peacefully even during the former Yugoslavia conflict. This is a science fiction based on my actual visits to the city and the other cities in the Former Yugoslav countries in 1995 and 1996, and fiction featuring two alien groups. One tries to destroy almost all humans while the other tries to save all. Some parts of the story were made on facts. I am sure you can enjoy the fresh teenage drama while thinking about such above mentioned serious themes. You may also wonder a bit about the mystery of the universe after reading this novel.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Family Happiness A Journey of Love and Fulfillment in 19th-Century Russia【電子書籍】[ Leo Tolstoy ]

＜p＞In "Family Happiness," Leo Tolstoy explores the intricate dynamics of love, marriage, and personal fulfillment through the lens of a young couple's relationship. Written in a lyrical prose style that showcases Tolstoy's keen psychological insight, the novella delves into the disillusionment often experienced in domestic life, juxtaposing the initial euphoria of love with the ensuing challenges of everyday existence. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russian society, the narrative reflects the broader themes of social conventions and individual desire, exemplifying how personal happiness can conflict with societal expectations. Tolstoy, a literary giant and philosopher, draws upon his own experiences and moral contemplations to imbue the protagonist's journey with authenticity and depth. His interest in the complexities of human relationships and moral philosophy resonates throughout the work, providing a rich context for understanding the universal struggles within marital life. Tolstoy'??s profound reflections on happiness, duty, and the weight of societal norms stem from his own grappling with these issues in his personal life. "Family Happiness" is highly recommended for those intrigued by the complexities of love and marriage, as well as for readers interested in the philosophical underpinnings of Tolstoy's thought. This poignant exploration invites readers to reflect on their own relationships and the definition of happiness, making it a timeless piece that resonates well beyond its historical context.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞In "Family Happiness," Leo Tolstoy explores the nuances of marital relationships through the lens of a young woman's emotional journey. Written in a narrative style marked by deep psychological insight and rich characterization, the novella captures the complexities of love, disillusionment, and the search for meaning within the confines of domestic life. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia, Tolstoy's work reflects the societal expectations of marriage and the often unspoken struggles that accompany it, making it a poignant commentary on the nature of happiness in familial settings. Tolstoy, one of literature's great philosophers, drew from his own experiences of marriage, particularly his tumultuous relationship with his wife, Sofya. His keen understanding of human emotions and social dynamics informed his portrayal of the protagonist's quest for fulfillment within the bounds of conventional marriage. This personal dimension adds a layer of authenticity to the narrative, resonating with readers on a profound level. "Family Happiness" is highly recommended for anyone interested in the intricate interplay of love and personal identity. Tolstoy's masterful storytelling allows readers to reflect on their own notions of happiness and the sacrifices inherent in intimate relationships, making this novella a timeless exploration of human connection.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Khayyam's Tent: A Secretive Autobiography 1000 Bittersweet Robaiyat Sips from His Tavern of Happiness【電子書籍】[ Omar Khayyam ]

＜p＞This book offers the original Robaiyat of Omar Khayyam (AD 1021-1123) as a tent of 1000 logically sewn quatrains serving the poetic Wine of his secretive autobiography. It is an epic, at once a personal, world-historical, and cosmic search for true human happiness. He composed it to be highly readable so that it can be read by all, continually, and today, before it is too late, like a prayer book or a rosary of pearls or ruby stones, since it was meant to be not only reflective but also generative of search for happiness. If you begin reading it, you must do so at least once to its end, so that in later readings any of its parts can be recalled amid the unitary architecture of its philosophical, spiritual, and scientific wisdom rendered as an astounding and most beautiful work of art. Khayyam was right; there is nothing on Earth like his Wine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His poetic "book of life" was intended to be released posthumously, so its existence was not known to his contemporaries. Following his death, it was released but became scattered and its logical unity was shattered by natural and social disasters and scribal poetry alphabetizing styles, some quatrains wandering into other poets' works and others becoming misattributed to him. The Robaiyat as shared in this book were logically re-sewn and newly translated in verse by the sociologist Mohammad H. Tamdgidi during his integrative study of all of Khayyam's works as reported in his unprecedented 12-book series Omar Khayyam's Secret: Hermeneutics of the Robaiyat in Quantum Sociological Imagination (2021-2025).＜/p＞ ＜p＞Following a summary of his series' findings, Tamdgidi presents in this book nothing else but Khayyam's Robaiyat, including the Persian originals and his verse translations (his study of them having been shared in his series, especially its Books 8-12). The poems, comprising songs of doubt, hope, and joy, are logically organized to address three questions, based on the 3-phased method of inquiry Khayyam himself introduced in his other writings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Quatrains 1-338 of Part 1, Songs of Doubt, open by explaining his epic's secretiveness and address the question "Does Happiness Exist?" Their order follows a logically inductive reasoning through which Khayyam delves from surface portraits of unhappiness to their deeper chain of causes. Quatrains 339-685 of Part 2, Songs of Hope, address the second question "What Is Happiness?" Their order follows a logically deductive reasoning through which he moves from methodological to explanatory and practical quatrains. Quatrains 686-1000 of Part 3, Songs of Joy, address the third question "Why Can Happiness Exist?" Still deductively ordered, they show how happiness can be made possible through his poetry's Wine itself, realizing that one can never become truly happy by bringing sadness to others since human self and society are always twin-born and universal. Hurting another is always a hurting of that self in you that represents that other. For Khayyam, happiness can be possible by way of joyful, creative, and constructive humanizing efforts by own example, like his Robaiyat, which must also start from our inner and interpersonal todays and spread globally.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Khayyam's Robaiyat represented the tent of which he was a "tentmaker," his poetic pen name having been inspired by his true birth date horoscope chart as discovered by Tamdgidi and reported in his series for the first time. The metaphor also underlies the numerical geometry of its triangular unity, proportional to the dazzling Grand Tent (Triplicity) features of his birth chart, the same way he embedded his own triangular golden rule in the mysterious design of Isfahan's North Dome. A metaphor of the Robaiyat as Simorgh (or Phoenix) songs is also hidden in its deep structure. Khayyam's Robaiyat are his Simorgh's millennial rebirth songs served in his tented tavern as 1000 sips of his bittersweet poetic Wine of happiness.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Seven Pleasures Essays on Ordinary Happiness【電子書籍】[ Willard Spiegelman ]

＜p＞What does it mean to be happy? Americans have had an obsession with "the pursuit of happiness" ever since the Founding Fathers enshrined itーalong with life and libertyーas our national birthright. Whether it means the accumulation of wealth or a more vaguely understood notion of self-fulfillment or self-actualization, happiness has been an inevitable, though elusive, goal.＜br /＞ But it is hard to separate "real" happiness from the banal self-help version that embraces mindless positive thinking. And though we have two booming "happiness industries"ーreligion, with its promise of salvation, and psychopharmacology, with its promise of better living through chemistryーeach comes with its own problems and complications.＜br /＞ In ＜em＞Seven Pleasures＜/em＞, Willard Spiegelman takes a look at the possibilities for achieving ordinary secular happiness without recourse to either religion or drugs. In this erudite and frequently hilarious book of essays, he discusses seven activities that lead naturally and easily to a sense of well-being. One of theseーdancingーrequires a partner, and therefore provides a lesson in civility, or good citizenship, as one of its benefits. The other sixーreading, walking, looking, listening, swimming, and writingーare things one performs alone. ＜em＞Seven Pleasures＜/em＞ is a marvelously engaging guide to the pursuit of happiness, and all its accompanying delights.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Toby has known little more than loneliness since he was taken from his home and his family was killed. He's a prisoner, forced to heal the members of the gang that bought him from the men who kidnapped him. Until he's not. Camden didn't expect to find out that Sam's brother, the brother who was sold to a gang, is his mate. He's not sure where to go from here. Toby is understandably wary and cautious, and most of the time, he won't let Camden close enough to talk to him. Camden doesn't have a problem giving him the time and space he needs, but they might not have much of it. When the envoy from another pack arrives and demands Camden give up one of the unicorn shifters, Camden refuses, even though he knows the Rosewood pack doesn't stand a chance. The pack is small, and its members aren't warriors. He's not about to give Toby or Sam up, but he has no idea how his people are going to deal with thisーor if they'll make it out alive.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
