Well, guys this is the opening statement of the book ‘Eleven Minutes’ by Paulo Coelho. When first released in 2003, Eleven Minutes by the Brazilian author Paulo Coelho was the years number one international bestselling book, far outpacing the. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness, sexual pleasure for its own sake, or risking everything to find her own "inner light" and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love. ‘Once upon a time, there was a prostitute called Maria.’.

''Anything you ever want I'll hand it to you'' 5/10/2023 0 Comments Jacques rousseau emileHis doctrines of philosophy apply predominantly to males. Throughout the entire book, Rousseau only addresses the education of girls in the last section. He wants to build a failsafe in the social order, by protecting children from a corrupt society that they may grow up and reform society. To him, the race to education a child is motivated by the overall corruption of human nature as it is demonstrated through human society. Rather than relying upon society to perfectly interact with the next generation, Rousseau urges for children to be raised to improve society by adhering to its values, sans corruption. His particular emphasis is the establishment of virtues and skills in the child from a young age in order to prevent future corruption. On Education focuses on the education of young men in order to function well in society - civics, if you well, - and Rousseau covers all aspects of education, from early childhood development.

That said, I am fascinated by various understandings of reality. For the curious mind who is genuine in his/her desire to understand the meaning of life and where it is taking you then it really is one of those books that will never leave your bedside, and no matter how many times you read it you always discover something new.įirst, I want to note that I am not a member of the 'new age' movement. If it is simply spirituality you are looking for then it is maybe a little deep, but do not let this put you off. There is nothing it does not mention, from a particle to the creation of life including the meaning of reality itself, they are all embraced with such insight, clarity and detail you will want to read it again and again. In that context The Eternal Validity of the Soul is a ray of light. For so long I have looked for concepts and ideas to help bring some meaningful understanding to my life, and although I have read many wonderful books which have gone some way to explain, they have often left me with more questions than they answered, as well as a feeling that there was still something missing. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Happy go lucky david sedarisHappy-Go-Lucky, humorist David Sedaris’ latest work, finds a different-more somber-person than the man who is still dining out on his experiences battling Karens during his stint as a department store Christmas elf or who once wrote a gag-inducing paragraph about his brother training his Great Dane to eat his pug’s poop.
