Self Knowledge

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.

Your mind in story. A deeper awareness that holds it all. When these parts are out of sync, life feels heavy and confusing.

Seduction still arouses controversy and wonder. Is it a sophisticated form of art, a psychological game, or perhaps the most powerful method of manipulation? 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 ...
