Happiness or Its Absence in Art by William Barcham,Ronit Milano Pdf

The concept of ‘happiness’ is central to most civilized cultures. This volume investigates the many ways in which Western art has visualized the concept from the early Middle Ages to the present. Employing different methodological approaches, the essays gathered here situate the concept of human happiness within discourses on gender, religion, intellectual life, politics and ‘New-Age’ culture. Operating as a cultural agent, art communicates the idea of happiness as both a physical and spiritual condition by exploiting specific formulae of representation. This volume combines art history, cultural analyses and intellectual studies in order to explore the complexities of iconographic programs that represent various forms of happiness, or its explicit absence, and to expose the implications embedded in the artistic works in question. Through innovative readings, the ten authors presented in this book survey different artistic and/or cultural paradigms and offer new interpretations of happiness or of its absence.

The Art of Happiness by Emilie Du Châtelet Pdf

Is passion dangerous and to be avoided? Can we really be fulfilled without love, and can a broken heart ever be repaired? Is friendship still possible once desire has diminished or gone? Can mean and vicious people be happy? Is ambition overrated and only for losers? Are possessions and great wealth a guarantee of happiness, or an obstacle to it? Should we care about our reputations or what others say about us? Does it matter what we leave behind us for future generations? Can women be as fulfilled as men, or vice versa?Madame du Ch�telet addresses these and other perennial questions in a style of prose that is at once warm, engaging, and uniquely her own. Drawing freely from her own joys, disappointments and present state of anguish, she encourages the reader to learn from experience and inevitable mistakes, and to confront the gifts and blows of life fearlessly, at every age. Though she writes in the mid-18th century, and in circumstances of relative comfort, her private reflections have a timeless and universal quality. She seems to light a path towards the many sources and forms of happiness and fulfilment that are within reach, not just of paragons of virtue, but of mere humans with all their flaws and frailties. In the midst of her own despondency, she inspires us with her wisdom, her discernment, and a 'gourmandise' that, just for a change, is not bad for our health.Madame du Ch�telet is the author of these Reflections on Happiness, which she wrote in a state of despondency as her close relationship with the great writer and philosopher, Voltaire, was approaching its end. Nevertheless, Voltaire remained a good friend, right up to her death, in her early forties, a few weeks after the birth or her daughter, who also died a few months' later.Sheila Oakley, who has a doctorate in French 18th century history, has translated this Discourse on Happiness from French into English. She has also written the preface to this translation, and has added a short chronology of the author's life, and supplementary notes to explain certain contemporary allusions and references. She would be delighted to hear from readers who wish to give their impressions of the book, after reading it.

The Art of Happiness by Epicurus Pdf

The brilliant writings of a highly influential Greek philosopher, with a foreword by Daniel Klein, author of Travels with Epicurus The teachings of Epicurus—about life and death, religion and science, physical sensation, happiness, morality, and friendship—attracted legions of adherents throughout the ancient Mediterranean world and deeply influenced later European thought. Though Epicurus faced hostile opposition for centuries after his death, he counts among his many admirers Thomas Hobbes, Thomas Jefferson, Karl Marx, and Isaac Newton. This volume includes all of his extant writings—his letters, doctrines, and Vatican sayings—alongside parallel passages from the greatest exponent of his philosophy, Lucretius, extracts from Diogenes Laertius' Life of Epicurus, a lucid introductory essay about Epicurean philosophy, and a foreword by Daniel Klein, author of Travels with Epicurus and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Hardwiring Happiness by Rick Hanson, PhD Pdf

With New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Hanson's four steps, you can counterbalance your brain's negativity bias and learn to hardwire happiness in only a few minutes each day. Why is it easier to ruminate over hurt feelings than it is to bask in the warmth of being appreciated? Because your brain evolved to learn quickly from bad experiences and slowly from good ones, but you can change this. Life isn’t easy, and having a brain wired to take in the bad and ignore the good makes us worried, irritated, and stressed, instead of confident, secure, and happy. But each day is filled with opportunities to build inner strengths and Dr. Rick Hanson, an acclaimed clinical psychologist, shows what you can do to override the brain’s default pessimism. Hardwiring Happiness lays out a simple method that uses the hidden power of everyday experiences to build new neural structures full of happiness, love, confidence, and peace. You’ll learn to see through the lies your brain tells you. Dr. Hanson’s four steps build strengths into your brain to make contentment and a powerful sense of resilience the new normal. In just minutes a day, you can transform your brain into a refuge and power center of calm and happiness.
