The digital age has everyone with an iPhone over inundated with useless information, disposible relationships and worst of all, ideologies. Friedrich Nietzsche spent a sick, friendless life trying to warn others of the dogma of authority and true will as its only antidote. Throughout Beyond Good & Evil we reside in the house of consciousness witnessing the daily domestic dispute between morality and immorality. This heady nail biter brings up 21st century questions regarding instinct informing consciousness leading to the byproduct of prejudice *Malcolm Gladwell hides erection*. Unlike the bestseller Blink, Nietzsche leaves the cut in his jib airing out his opinions on masculine and feminine cultures of Europe and his least favorite race, women. We’ll tow the lines of absurdism, antinatalism and stoicism proving how modern organized religion is a self help scheme gone wrong, twisting our ethics into a master/slave morality paradigm. One of the most misconceived authors in history takes us on his emotional rollercoaster all for the self empowering assertion that a truly free spirit can only exist with a disciplined will.

In this revolutionary book, Adam Alter, a professor of psychology and marketing at NYU, tracks the rise of behavioral addiction, and explains why so many of today's products are irresistible. Though these miraculous products melt the miles that separate people across the globe, their extraordinary and sometimes damaging magnetism is no accident. The companies that design these products tweak them over time until they become almost impossible to resist.

What does it take to run the American supermarket? How do products get to shelves? Who sets the price? Who suffers the consequences of increased efficiency? In this alarming exposé, author Benjamin Lorr pulls back the curtain on this highly secretive industry. Combining deep sourcing, immersive reporting, and compulsively readable prose, Lorr leads a wild investigation in which we learn: What it takes for a product to earn certification labels like “organic” and “fair trade”, the struggles entrepreneurs face as they fight for shelf space and the truth behind the alarming slave trade in the shrimp industry. The product of five years of research and hundreds of interviews across every level of the industry, The Secret Life of Groceries delivers powerful social commentary on the inherently American quest for more and the social costs therein.

Eric Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and global travel in a pilgrimage that uncovers surprising life lessons from great thinkers around the world, from Rousseau to Nietzsche, Confucius to Simone Weil. Traveling by train (the most thoughtful mode of transport), he journeys thousands of miles, making stops in Athens, Delhi, Wyoming, Coney Island, Frankfurt, and points in between to reconnect with philosophy’s original purpose: teaching us how to lead wiser, more meaningful lives. From Socrates and ancient Athens to twentieth-century Paris, Weiner’s chosen philosophers and places provide important signposts as we navigate today’s chaotic times.
