We are said to be suffering a narcissism epidemic when the need for collective action seems more pressing than ever. The traits of Selfishness and selflessness address the ‘proper’ and ‘improper’ relationship between one’s self and others. The work they do during periods of social instability and cultural change is probed in this original, interdisciplinary collection. Contributions range from an examination of how these concepts animated the eighteenth-century anti-slavery campaigners to a dissection of the way middle-class mothers’ experiences illustrate gendered struggles over how much and to whom one is morally obliged to give.

We currently live in a world where selfishness is at an all-time high. People are about their own business and seldom concerned with the well-being of others. The Bible commands us to "do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others" (Phil. 2:3""4, NASB). Combating the sin of selfishness requires that we learn the art of humility, which restores and grows relationships. Romans 12:10 says, "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality." Selfishness to Selflessness is a journey from the bondages of selfishness to being free through selflessness (Christ-likeness). It is my prayer that this book ministers to your spirit, unleashing the gift of humility that resides deep within the heart of every believer. May God richly bless you and all that you hold dear to your heart!

The book is a wake-up call. First of all, one must understand, we are slave to suggestions. Everything that one hears and read must be examined and not be taken at face value. We must understand that people have different reasons for their suggestions. You will not only receive suggestions verbally but also in books, magazines, etc. These suggestions go into your subconscious, and sometimes in the course of one’s life, it causes unbalance and all to your life.

On November 10, 2017, Pope Francis became the first pontiff in the nuclear era to take a complete stand against nuclear weapons, even as a form of deterrence. At a Vatican conference of leaders in the field of disarmament, he made it clear that the possession of the bomb itself was immoral. A World Free from Nuclear Weapons presents the pope’s address and original testimony from Nobel Peace Prize laureates, religious leaders, diplomats, and civil society activists. These luminaries, which include the pope and a Hiroshima survivor, make the moral case against possessing, manufacturing, and deploying nuclear arms. Drew Christiansen, a member of the Holy See delegation to the 2017 United Nations conference that negotiated the Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons, helps readers to understand this conference in its historical context. A World Free from Nuclear Weapons is a critical companion for scholars of modern Catholicism, moral theology, and peace studies, as well as policymakers working on effective disarmament. It shows how the Church’s revised position presents an opportunity for global leaders to connect disarmament to larger movements for peace, pointing toward future action.

“Absence of negative thoughts is the presence of a constructive mind.” Life was never easy for anyone to deal with, but some positive people chose to help others despite the situations they are facing in their lives. It is easy to contemplate but it takes your entire journey when it comes to an action. This composition of various genres enlightens the appropriateness of the title as it is an agglomeration of various touch points like life stories, love and life ideologies, dreams, desires, death, justice, psychological outcomes after a tragedy, life's offering freedom, overcoming negativity, working towards oneself, poems dedicated to humanity, God, love, living for a purpose, and a letter to mother. My sincere respect and appreciation to all my co-authors who came up and shared their experiences of life, fought for what they deserve, and positively got over the negativity and became valuable human beings. This collection has been anthologized, with toil and dedication, by compiler Sakshi Chandwani.

The book ‘Autobiography of a failure’ is a conversation between the author and the reader about the journey of the author, focusing on the positive despite of the heavy influence of the negative. The title has been inspired by our Ex. President Late Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s Quote “Don’t read success stories it will only give you a message, read failure stories you will get some ideas to get success.” A lot can be learnt from Failures because there can be only one success story, but the lessons behind the hundreds of failure stories is what prepares you for the next challenge. The book tells about an epic failure of humanity in the chapter “Failure to get Justice” and thereby makes an attempt that may be by creating awareness this failure can be rectified and no Human should ever be treated like a Guinea pig to fill the pockets of Inhumanity. The book focuses only on the positive and is a delight to read. The language is easy going and can be read even by a nonreader. The artwork also helps in making the book a little light, as the content can get emotionally strong. The book ends with a chapter called ww.kissaykahaniyan.com which is a website created by the author for telling good stories and spreading quality morals/education to the masses. Finally the book ends with a mini tribute to Mr. Shahrukh Khan whose journey and words have inspired the author and helped him cope up with his journey so far.

According to the moral error theorist, all moral judgments are mistaken. The world just doesn’t contain the properties and relations necessary for these judgments to be true. But what should we actually do if we decided that we are in this radical and unsettling predicament—that morality is just a widespread and heartfelt illusion? One suggestion is to eliminate all talk and thought of morality (abolitionism). Another is to carry on believing it anyway (conservationism). And yet another is to treat morality as a kind of convenient fiction (fictionalism). We tend to think of moral thinking as valuable and useful (e.g., for motivating cooperative behavior), but we can also recognize that it can be harmful (e.g., hindering compromise) and even disastrous (e.g., inspiring support for militaristic propaganda). Would we be better off or worse off if we stopped basing decisions on moral considerations? This is a collection of twelve brand new chapters focused on a critical examination of the options available to the moral error theorist. After a general introduction outlining the topic, explaining key terminology, and offering suggestions for further reading, the chapters address questions like: • Is it true that the more that people are motivated by moral concerns, the more likely it is that society will be elitist, authoritarian, and dishonest? • Is an appeal to moral values a useful tool for helping resolve conflicts, or does it actually exacerbate conflicts? • Would it even be possible to abolish morality from our thinking? • If we were to accept a moral error theory, would it be feasible to carry on believing in morality in everyday contexts? • Might moral discourse be usefully modeled on familiar metaphorical language, where we can convey useful and important truths by uttering falsehoods? • Does moral thinking support or undermine a commitment to feminist goals? • What role do moral judgments play in addressing important decisions affecting climate change? The End of Morality: Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously is the first book to thoroughly address these and other questions, systematically investigating the harms and benefits of moral thought, and considering what the world might be like without morality.
