Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A noted philosopher proposes a naturalistic (rather than supernaturalistic) way to solve the really hard problem: how to live in a meaningful way--how to live a life that really matters--even as a finite material being living in a material world. If consciousness is the hard problem in mind science--explaining how the amazing private world of consciousness emerges from neuronal activity--then the really hard problem, writes Owen Flanagan in this provocative book, is explaining how meaning is possible in the material world. How can we make sense of the magic and mystery of life naturalistically, without an appeal to the supernatural? How do we say truthful and enchanting things about being human if we accept the fact that we are finite material beings living in a material world, or, in Flanagan's description, short-lived pieces of organized cells and tissue?Flanagan's answer is both naturalistic and enchanting. We all wish to live in a meaningful way, to live a life that really matters, to flourish, to achieve eudaimonia--to be a happy spirit. Flanagan calls his empirical-normative inquiry into the nature, causes, and conditions of human flourishing eudaimonics. Eudaimonics, systematic philosophical investigation that is continuous with science, is the naturalist's response to those who say that science has robbed the world of the meaning that fantastical, wishful stories once provided.Flanagan draws on philosophy, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology, as well as on transformative mindfulness and self-cultivation practices that come from such nontheistic spiritual traditions as Buddhism, Confucianism, Aristotelianism, and Stoicism, in his quest. He gathers from these disciplines knowledge that will help us understand the nature, causes, and constituents of well-being and advance human flourishing. Eudaimonics can help us find out how to make a difference, how to contribute to the accumulation of good effects--how to live a meaningful life.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. This combination of libertarian economic snad theology shows why wealth begets more wealth for everyone. It exposes the key error - belief in scarcity - that leads to a misunderstanding of the process of creating wealth. The book argues that too many people view the desire to get rich as something shameful, and never achieve success because they believe it comes at someone else's expense. The book explains how human ingenuity continually increases the supply of resources, redefines what a resource is in the first place, and argues that God wants each of us to attain our maximum economic potential. There are suggestions for achieving this wealth, and the book argues that the technological displacement of jobs in today's downsized workplace is creating new opportunities and wealth for us all.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A Guide for Exploring the Horizons of Your Heart More people than ever find themselves unfulfilled by merely material abundance and prosperity. More people than ever find their hearts yearning for some kind of satisfaction beyond swiping right or going viral. This is because the human soul was made for more than video games, social media, SMS messages, and flashy distractions. This book, written with the warmth, sincerity, and clarity characteristic of Father Bartunek's many popular books, opens the door to a rediscovery of the spiritual landscape present in every human heart. Maybe you are spiritually restless yourself. Maybe you know others who are, and you want to connect with them better. In either case, this book is for you. It will take you where few dare to go through a fearless exploration of questions like these: Why does spirituality attract us, and what does that word really mean?What is the real difference between spirituality and religion? Aren't all religions basically the same?How is it possible to be religious but not spiritual?What are the implications of choosing to be spiritual but not religious?Does truth enrich or impoverish our spiritual life? Father Bartunek takes you on a tour of your own soul through his reflections on these themes and more, weaving together philosophy, natural theology, personal experiences, and analyses of selected works of art to make this a truly one-of-a-kind book. You won't read this book and move on. You will read this book and grow, and then you will want to dip back into it again and again, to keep on growing. It's a book for a lifetime. The horizons of the heart are vast, and often treacherous - which is one reason why so many people today hesitate to explore them. Father Bartunek is a wise guide who leads you deeper into your own self as he shows you how to continue your unique search for lasting meaning in an overly materialized world.…
