In Ancient Greece, when the philosopher Socrates was asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: "Know yourself". Self-knowledge matters so much because it is only on the basis of an accurate sense of who we are that we can make reliable decisions - particularly around love and work. This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

A Road to Self-Knowledge by Rudolf Steiner is a spiritual-guide structured as eight meditations, each focusing on successive layers of human being — from the physical body and etheric (life-force) body, through the elemental world and the “Guardian of the Threshold,” to the astral body, the I- or thought-body, the nature of experience in supersensible realms, and finally the remembrance of one’s repeated earthly lives.

Self-identification with one’s state of being is the great trap. So, we must first become aware of the props we use to maintain who we think we are. It begins with: “I’m a woman” or “I’m a man.” There’s strong identification. There’s strong support for the ego, for that “I am” is the ego itself talking. Next, we identify with our abilities and our knowledge. “This is what I can do!” and “This is what I know.” Two further strong supports for the ego.

Originally published in 1918, this book takes an extensive look into how to achieve greater self-knowledge, and is highly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the subject. Contains eight meditations.

Although seduction may seem like a male prerogative, as men are usually the conquerors, you will find that we, women, can also be seductive. In the past, women initiated seduction very subtly. A woman would nonchalantly allow her handkerchief to fall near the man whose attention she wanted to attract. He would pick it up and approach the woman while firmly convinced that he alone was the initiator. But still, the question remains: who ...

Grit & Grace presents a framework for achieving sustainable success through the integration of mental toughness (Grit) and emotional intelligence (Grace). The author, Jeff D. Standridge, Ed.D., argues that while grit alone—the relentless drive to succeed—has gained popularity through research by psychologists like Angela Duckworth, it's insufficient on its own.

The question, “Who am I?” is a tricky one. Most approaches available to those who seek answer to this question are rooted in the ‘self’ itself, making study of the ‘self’ in order to find its reality. Anyone following these approaches is bound to get trapped in the ‘self’ in such a way that it becomes difficult for him to escape from it. This question itself is genuine but once a person starts trying to find answer for it, inevitably his efforts lead him to a blind alley. Once he arrives there, generally he takes recourse to self-deception and starts indulging in philosophy ...
