Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - ZENO: Just Saying. Inspired by Zeno of Elea and his famous philosophical paradoxes, this collection explores the space between what we think we know and what might simply be a matter of perspective. This collection of observations, contradictions, questions, and perspectives also inspired by the idea that not everything we accept as truth deserves to go unquestioned.Why do we say that hindsight is always 20/20 Can beggars really not be choosers Does being 'old school' represent virtue, or simply resistance to change When does one man's treasure become another man's trash Can silence be aggressive And is someone's 'best way' actually the best way, or simply the best way for them Through familiar sayings, everyday behaviour, social observations, and psychological contradictions, ZENO turns accepted ideas slightly on their side and invites the reader to look again.These are not lessons. They are not answers. They are thoughts.Some may make you nod in agreement. Others may make you disagree completely, but perhaps that is the point.Because sometimes, the most interesting question is not whether something is true. It is whether we have ever stopped to consider another way of seeing it.ZENO: Just Saying. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What if the things you think you understand are not quite what they appear to be Hidden in Plain Sight takes familiar sayings, everyday behaviours, social assumptions, and ordinary human experiences, and turns them around to reveal the ideas hiding underneath.What if we are already manifesting our lives through thousands of unnoticed micro actions Would you choose yourself as your own parent, or as your own child Is confidence real, or is it sometimes simply the art of convincing ourselves and others Can a nice person be completely ineffective Can a good person be someone who is not particularly nice Does absence really make the heart grow fonder Is 'better the devil you know' actually wisdom, or merely familiarity disguised as safety And what happens when 'just keep swimming' has you moving confidently in completely the wrong direction From The Heart of Hearts to The Least You Could Have Done, from When Bullshit Doesn't Baffle Brains to If You Want Loyalty, Get a Dog, these reflections invite you to question language, behaviour, perception, identity, relationships, and the assumptions that quietly shape the way we see the world.Some chapters will make you think.Some may challenge you.One may even make you laugh.But each begins with the same invitation: Look again.Because sometimes the most interesting truths are not hidden at all.They are simply hidden in plain sight.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What if the mistakes that broke you were the same ones that quietly rebuilt you Accidental Philosopher is a deeply reflective collection of emotional essays, paradoxical observations, and psychologically honest life lessons exploring identity, relationships, pain, healing, loneliness, growth, and the strange beauty of being human.Written in a voice that blends modern philosophy, emotional intelligence, introspection, and poetic realism, Paul Strydom invites readers into a world where silence has weight, success can feel accidental, intimacy can exist without connection, and even our deepest wounds carry hidden wisdom.Through powerful chapters such as Ghost in the Mirror, Toxic Empathy, The Finiteness of Infinity, Invisible Tattoos, and Happy Ending Mistakes, this book challenges conventional thinking while offering compassionate insight into the human condition.For readers who enjoy thoughtful writing about psychology, self-awareness, relationships, identity, meaning, and emotional growth, Accidental Philosopher is both a mirror and a conversation.Some books try to teach you how to live. This one simply sits beside you while you figure it out. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if the way we see life depends on where we are standing?A View From The Top: Building a Philosophy is a collection of twenty five observations drawn from the ordinary moments, difficult questions, contradictions, choices, and patterns that shape human experience.Moving across business, relationships, psychology, temptation, behaviour, curiosity, identity, growth, and the quiet assumptions we rarely stop to examine, Paul invites the reader to look again at what may have become too familiar to notice.This is not a book of instructions, nor does it offer a ready made philosophy to adopt. It is an exploration of how a philosophy is built, gradually, through observation, experience, questioning, failure, reflection, and the willingness to reconsider what we think we know. Each observation stands on its own, yet together they begin to reveal something larger. A pattern. A framework. A way of seeing. Because somewhere between the life we have lived, the beliefs we have inherited, and the questions we have been willing to ask, each of us is already building a philosophy. The question is whether we have ever stopped long enough to see it. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Observations Nouveau: An Exhibition of Human BehaviourWhat if the most fascinating things about human behaviour are the ones we hardly ever notice? Why do we apologise more than once? Why does silence make us invent stories? Why do we interrupt the people we're most interested in? Why are we drawn to numbered lists that promise certainty? And why do we all seem to live in different worlds while sharing the same universe?Observations Nouveau isn't a book of advice.It isn't a psychology textbook, and it doesn't promise seven steps to a better life. Instead, it invites you to pause and look more closely at the ordinary moments that quietly shape our relationships, decisions and everyday interactions. Each observation stands alone as a small exhibit, combining a thoughtful narrative with an original minimalist line illustration, creating a reading experience that feels more like walking through an art gallery than reading a conventional book. Some observations will make you smile. Some may make you uncomfortable. Others may cause you to recognise yourself in ways you hadn't expected. Sometimes the most profound discoveries aren't found by looking further, they're found by looking closer. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. EUNOIA - Beautiful Thinking Drawing from psychology, leadership, philosophy, human behaviour, and everyday life, Paul explores the quiet truths that often hide beneath ordinary experiences. Each chapter challenges conventional thinking by revealing perspectives that are both intellectually stimulating and deeply practical.Why do intelligent people sometimes feel isolated? Why do we mistake stories for reality? Why do some habits protect us in one season only to limit us in the next? What separates confidence from character, opinions from truth, and success from significance?Through concise essays and memorable reflections, EUNOIA encourages readers to pause, question assumptions, and develop the kind of thinking that leads to wiser decisions, stronger relationships, and greater self awareness.Whether read one chapter at a time or in a single sitting, this is a book designed to be revisited whenever life presents new questions.Because sometimes changing your life begins with changing the way you think.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if the person trying to end your life is not trying to kill your body, but the version of you that no longer knows how to live?After surviving a suicide attempt following two decades of cocaine addiction, an eight-year affair and a life built on success, secrecy and relentless self-sufficiency, Paul began asking a question far more unsettling than Why did I try to die?He asked, What exactly was I trying to end?Rather than offering easy answers, inspirational cliches or a neatly packaged recovery story, Dying to Stay Alive: Hanging, On. is a deeply honest examination of how intelligent, capable people can slowly mistake their identity for the life they have constructed around it. It explores addiction, shame, resilience, trauma, success, responsibility, personhood and the dangerous moment when a life becomes so unbearable that we forget it can be dismantled without destroying the person living it.Blending memoir with philosophy and psychology, Paul refuses both self-condemnation and self-exoneration. Instead, he carefully examines the thinking that almost cost him everything, asking difficult questions about survival, identity and what it truly means to begin again.It is a book about becoming someone you can no longer live with, and discovering that perhaps it was never you who needed to die.For readers of thoughtful memoir, psychology, philosophy and personal transformation, Dying to Stay Alive: Hanging, On. offers a powerful reminder that a life can become unsustainable without the person becoming disposable.
