Quit
Wer nicht aufgibt, verliert! »Die Stärke zu wissen, wann es Zeit ist aufzuhören«. In der heutigen leistungsorientierten Gesellschaft ist das Aufgeben ein Schandfleck im Lebenslauf. Wie oft haben wir schon etwas abgeschlossen, was uns weder glücklich gemacht hat, noch einen Vorteil gebracht hat, einfach nur, weil wir es nicht abbrechen konnten, oder wollten? Annie Duke beschreibt in »Quit«, wann der Mut, der eine Tugend ist und uns voran treibt, sich in einen Laster verwandeln kann. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg gibt es die Mentalität: »Quitters never win, and winners never quit.« Aber stimmt das? Die Autorin gibt uns auf faszinierende und erfrischende Art und Weise Einsichten in eine neue und mögliche gesellschaftliche Mentalität, in der das Aufgeben auch eine Chance sein kann.

Girls They Write Songs About
'The instant feminist classic our generation has been waiting for' Ada Calhoun, author of Why We Can't Sleep What happens when growing up means growing apart? 1997. New York. Earnest, bookish Rose. Brash, extrovert Charlotte. When they moved to New York in the late nineties, coffee cost less than a dollar and you could still smoke in bars. You could stay up drinking all night, sat in vinyl booths patched up with duct tape. Everyone has their own New York, and for Rose and Charlotte it was a place to feed their ambition, a place to dance and party and fall in love, far from the suburbs they once called home. It was New York City, and it was everything they ever wanted. Their friendship was different too: intense and life-changing. The kind that only happens once. The kind that couldn't last forever. In Carlene Bauer's exuberant novel, Rose and Charlotte look back and reckon with the loss of a friendship that helped define them, shaping their lives more than any love affair. 'Excellent... Full of texture and feeling.' Vivian Gornick
All Things Reconsidered
Are you able to give your first impressions a second look? In this lighthearted and humorous take on life, Knox McCoy explores questioning and examining long-held ideas that no longer represent how we think. What would it mean to really examine what you think you know about yourself and your beliefs? To not just rely on the cliches you’ve always recited to yourself but to look deeply into why you think what you think? In All Things Reconsidered, popular podcaster Knox McCoy uses a unique blend of humor, pop culture references, and personal stories to show how a willingness to reconsider ideas can actually help us grow ourselves, our lives, and our beliefs. In this laugh-out-loud defense of changing your mind, Knox dives into a variety of topics including: Are participation trophies truly the worst? Is it really worth it to be a ride-or-die sports fan? Do we believe in God because of the promise of heaven—or the threat of hell? Does prayer work? Is anyone even there? In a world where we’re divided by political, social, and religious differences, All Things Reconsidered is a hilarious and insightful book of essays that reminds us of the value of reflection and open-mindedness.
The Temple of Athena at Assos

Spinoza's Modernity
Spinoza’s Modernity is a major, original work of intellectual history that reassesses the philosophical project of Baruch Spinoza, uncovers his influence on later thinkers, and demonstrates how that crucial influence on Moses Mendelssohn, G. E. Lessing, and Heinrich Heine shaped the development of modern critical thought. Excommunicated by his Jewish community, Spinoza was a controversial figure in his lifetime and for centuries afterward. Willi Goetschel shows how Spinoza’s philosophy was a direct challenge to the theological and metaphysical assumptions of modern European thought. He locates the driving force of this challenge in Spinoza’s Jewishness, which is deeply inscribed in his philosophy and defines the radical nature of his modernity.
