Alles, was der Politik-Aktivist Arne Semsrott in seinem Bestseller Machtübernahme als Szenario einer rechtskonservativen Wende beschrieben hat, ist längst Wirklichkeit geworden – allerdings ganz ohne AfD, sondern unter Führung der CDU/SPD-Koalition: ein hartes Grenzregime, die Herabwürdigung der sozial Schwächeren, ein Ende des Klimaschutzes und eine Politik der Angst.

How you see your life is complex and can rarely be expressed in an answer that fits on a bumper sticker. Instead, a longer answer is required, one that has roots in early experiences that influenced the development of your character and shaped your views on nature, prejudice, religion, and war.

Considerada uma das escolas filosóficas mais importantes da história, o estoicismo encontra-se mais vivo do que nunca nos dias de hoje. Para os estoicos, como Epicteto, Marco Aurélio e Sêneca, a busca da felicidade consiste em livrar-se das impressões apaixonadas dos sentidos e das emoções por meio do fortalecimento da vontade e da racionalidade.

Durable is not a guide to becoming better, stronger, or more successful. It is a philosophical examination of masculinity grounded in stewardship: responsibility without control, strength without domination, care without self-erasure.

This book offers no guarantee of outcome.

The money, the status, the career, the houses—they delivered everything except the one thing they promised. For What It's Worth: In Search of a Good Life is about what comes after that recognition. Not the tidy version.

Most political arguments go nowhere for one simple reason. People are answering different questions while pretending they are having the same conversation.
