Esordisce così Diego Fusaro nella prima di quasi 90 lettere a Epicuro, l'interlocutore immaginario al quale si rivolge per affrontare altrettanti temi che riguardano il nostro stare al mondo: amicizia, amore, felicità, anima, dono, comunità, tempo, lavoro, dialogo, ideologia, volontà... "Perché proprio Epicuro?", si chiederà chi ascolta. Perché rappresenta la filosofia nella piena aderenza alla vita reale e ai suoi problemi. Non c'è un'età ideale per fare filosofia.

Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future?

The essence of meditation is not something we do; rather, it is simply to be, fully present and aligned with life in the moment. This is the central teaching of Eckhart Tolle’s What Is Meditation? In this audio session, Eckhart helps us transcend our beliefs and ideas about meditation—including the tendency to turn the practice into a means to an end—in order to realize directly our formless nature as being that is primary to any doing.

When you discover that who you really are has nothing to do with what your thoughts tell you, something incredible happens: a vast space opens up. From that spaciousness comes a deeper intelligence that Eckhart Tolle calls “alert stillness”—or our essential nature beyond form. From Stillness to Presence explores our role in the evolution of human consciousness and how we can each begin to invite the arising of awareness in our lives.

When we resist the present moment, we close the door to happiness. But when we align with what is, we access the source of lasting peace and contentment. On The Secret of Happiness, Eckhart Tolle invites you to experience how your sense of joy and fulfillment radically changes through the awakening of consciousness and the realization of who you are beyond the content of your thoughts.

The unconditioned is alive in you” is Eckhart’s message as he exquisitely guides us to go beyond the reactive tendencies and patterns of our conditioning to a knowing of ourselves through the surrendered state of consciousness.
