Carpe Diem
“Dum loquimur, fugerit invida Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.” —Horace The full translation of the Roman poet Horace’s Odes is “While we’re talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future.” It’s been boiled down most famously to one stark piece of advice: “Carpe diem,” or, “Seize the day.” In other words: Life is fleeting, don’t waste the time you have. It’s an easy thing to say, and we’ve all heard it. But how do you actually make sure that you’re living life to its fullest? That’s where Carpe Diem comes in. In this helpful guidebook you will find hundreds of carefully curated and inspirational quotations from a diverse selection of writers and thinkers. Selected by Linda Picone (The Daily Book of Positive Quotations) and organized by chapters such as “Richer and Poorer” and “The Art of Living,” these quotes serve as a daily reminder to never take life for granted. With this book at your side, you never will.

"Brilliant. One of those rare books that forces you to ask what the hell you're doing with your life." --George Monbiot, The Guardian **One of Forbes' 13 Best Books for Summer 2017** We've all heard the saying "seize the day." But what does it really mean--and how can we use it to jumpstart our lives? In the age of distraction, carpe diem is more essential than ever, and yet many of us simply don't employ it in our lives. In this thought-provoking and empowering book, cultural writer Roman Krznaric unpacks the history, philosophy, and modern-day applications of "seizing the day" and delivers a rousing call to action for anyone who wants to improve their lives--or our world. Carpe Diem is a f...
Carpe Diem Regained
Existentialism is back Carpe diem – ‘seize the day’ – is one of the oldest pieces of life advice in Western history. But its true spirit has been hijacked by ad men and self-help gurus, reduced to the instant hit of one-click online shopping, or slogans like ‘live in the now’. We need to reclaim it to make sense of our complex, confusing times. The last great expression of carpe diem was in the electrifying existential philosophy of the 1940s. Today it’s an idea that challenges us to confront our mortality and live with greater passion and intention rather than scroll mindlessly on our phones or allow freedom to become a mere choice between brands. In Carpe Diem Regained, Roman Krznaric reinvents existentialism for our age of information and choice overload. An essential and empowering work of contemporary philosophy, the book unveils the surprising ways of seizing the day that humankind has discovered over the centuries, ones we urgently need to revive. Carpe diem is the existentialism for our times.

Vassar weiß genau, was sie will - und hat zum ersten Mal im Leben keinen Plan! Die 16-jährige Vassar hat alles genau geplant: bester Schulabschluss, Promotion, Hochzeit mit einem Chirurgen (wahlweise Richter), Pulitzerpreis. Schließlich haben ihre Eltern sie nicht umsonst nach einer Eliteuniversität benannt. Warum also um alles in der Welt bestehen sie plötzlich darauf, dass sie ihre verrückte Großmutter in Südostasien besucht, so kurz vor den Prüfungen? Widerstand zwecklos. Ausgerüstet mit zehn (!) Koffern reist Vassar in den Dschungel. Doch schon bald muss sie einsehen, dass selbst ein aufblasbarer Toilettenaufsatz nicht weiterhilft, wenn man ein Familiengeheimnis enthüllen will - oder sich unsterblich verliebt.

In this delightful romantic adventure, a 16-year-old overachiever learns how to seize the day. "I've got my entire life planned out for the next ten years — including my PhD and Pulitzer Prize," claims 16-year-old overachiever Vassar Spore, daughter of overachiever parents, who in true overachiever fashion named her after an elite women's college. Vassar expects her sophomore summer to include AP and AAP (Advanced Advanced Placement) classes. Surprise! Enter a world-traveling relative who sends her plans into a tailspin when she blackmails Vassar's parents into forcing their only child to backpack with her through Southeast Asia. On a journey from Malaysia to Cambodia to the remote jungles of Laos, Vassar sweats, falls in love, hones her outdoor survival skills — and uncovers a family secret that turns her whole world upside-down. Vassar Spore can plan on one thing: she'll never be the same again.

Julie était caissière à plein temps. Pas très sexy comme début, Julie non plus d’ailleurs. Mignonne mais pas sexy, surtout dans sa tenue maison. Infirmière est excitant, caissière moins. Caissière transpire, inspire la mauvaise vie, la vie ratée, une vie à la Zola des temps modernes, toujours statique, avec des varices au bout du compte. Pour sortir de ce purgatoire vers une aventure à la Bill Gates, une jeune femme attend un coup de pouce du destin qui ne vient pas. Une ouverture inattendue, quasi imperceptible se profile. Elle s’y engouffre sans réfléchir, emmenant avec elle une bande de paumés, d’obsédés, de génies en herbe, pour tenter de vivre une existence qu’elle a choisie où s’entremêlent émotion, humanité et affaires.
