Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Neuware - Some forces don't announce themselves. They just slowly become the way you see.You built the career. You hit the milestones. From the outside, it looks like everything is working. And yet somewhere beneath the surface, a quieter question keeps surfacing: is this it Fourteen centuries ago, in a lamplit room in the desert city of Kufa, a young merchant asked that same question. He had visited the homes of the wealthy, sat in the courts of the powerful, met scholars whose learning filled rooms, and left each encounter with the same unsettling feeling: these people had everything, and almost none of them seemed at peace.The answer he received that night named five forces, wealth, power, knowledge, praise, and youth, that share a hidden quality. Each is genuinely good. Each is worth having. And each, left unexamined, can quietly reshape how you see the world until the life you are chasing stops being a life you would actually choose.The 5 Intoxicants brings that ancient conversation into the present. Weaving together Islamic philosophy, Stoic wisdom, and contemporary psychology, it offers a clear-eyed look at the forces that distort human judgment, and a practical path back to a life lived on purpose.In this book, you will discover: - Why achieving your goals so often produces emptiness instead of satisfaction, and what that emptiness is actually telling you- How wealth, power, and praise quietly merge with your sense of who you are, until losing them feels like losing yourself- The difference between knowledge and wisdom, and why expertise can become a cage- What the world's wisdom traditions, from Ali ibn Abi Talib to Marcus Aurelius to Seneca, understood about meaning that modern culture has forgotten- Five practices for staying clear in a world engineered to keep you distractedThis is not a book that asks you to abandon ambition, reject success, or retreat from the world. It asks something harder and more valuable: that you see clearly what is shaping your choices, and why, before another decade slips past in pursuit of a destination that keeps receding.Written with the honesty of someone who has lived through every chapter he describes, The 5 Intoxicants is for anyone who has ever reached the thing they worked years for and felt the strange quiet that followed.Stop gathering the tools. Start doing the work they were meant for.The lamp in Kufa went out fourteen centuries ago. The work it began is still waiting.…
