Doing the Right Thing

You want to do the right thing, but you’re not always sure what the right thing is. You think that people’s values are a matter of personal belief, but that some people’s beliefs are just plain wrong. From practical questions—Should I eat meat? Is it always wrong to kill? Is there a duty to give to charity?—to fundamental questions about the nature of ethics—Are there universal values? Does morality depend on religion? What do words like ‘right’ and ‘good’ mean?—this collection helps you to think through the big issues. After that, it’s up to you.

Style

Style is not just about keeping up with the trends. It’s an attitude, a posture, a projection of personality. Simply put, to have style is to be able to demonstrate the best of yourself, outside and in. It is not always about making the boldest of choices, breaking the bank or braving the risqué. Sometimes the best statements are subtle, effortless, elegant. Everyone is capable of great style, but for thoseof you in any doubt, this book contains 100 easy lessons to help you on your way.

The Meaning of Life

100 lessons on the meaning of life! Well, no point aiming too low, is there? Each lesson looks at this most mysterious
subject from different perspectives – religious, scientific, philosophical, medical, artistic etc. The result is a summary of mankind’s reflections on the ultimate question. It doesn’t offer any answers (how could it? The whole point is no one knows); instead readers are invited to draw their own conclusions.
This title appeals to anyone with even a hint of curiosity about why we’re here – including you.

Your Brain

Your brain is the most complex object in the universe, a tightly packed network of 100 billion neurons each with up to 10,000 connections (synapses) to other neurons that creates your mind. Neuroscience promises to provide insights into how our minds work: Why do we have emotions? What is creativity?
Do we have free will? Why do we have dreams? Where do memories go? How do we learn and can neuroscience teach us how to improve or enhance our minds. Spend time
investigating the nature of your mind what we know and
the mysteries that remain about how it works.

Personal Attraction

Everyone wants to be even more attractive than they already are. We wouldn’t have a multibillion dollar cosmetics and associated industries were it not so. Everyone wants to look good because everyone wants to be wanted. It’s the gene pool improving itself to support ongoing human evolution. In any case it’s fun to be more personally attractive. And it’s actually easy to achieve without using more cosmetics or any other superficial devices. By changing the way you see yourself and the world, you actually change the way others respond to you. Now Spencer Mac and Barefoot Doctor show you how.
