Welcome to Silicon Valley’s search for fulfillment and purpose beyond devices, money, and power. With worker stress at an all-time high, particularly in the fast-paced technology industry, it’s no surprise that Google, Salesforce, and Apple have adopted mindfulness and meditation into their workplace culture. Studies show mindfulness practice increases emotional intelligence, reduces stress, and enhances health and overall well-being. A Sense of Something Greater goes deeper than the current mindfulness trend, into the heart of Zen practice. For Les Kaye, Zen is more than awareness––it’s also “the continued determination to be authentic in relationships, to create meaningful, intimate, intentional bonds with people, things, and the environment.” Kaye’s teachings are paired with interviews with current tech employees and Zen practitioners, conducted by journalist Teresa Bouza. A Sense of Something Greater is an essential book for business leaders, mindfulness meditators, and Zen practitioners alike.

This book is an attempt to understand English society over the last seventy years, using a psychoanalytical perspective. It looks at the destabilising effect of war and other stresses, and the subsequent social reaction to such events. It contains an acknowledgment of the basic biology of the human race, and a plea that our given attributes be respected, particularly in the field of child nurture. The author is a long-term Quaker. That spiritual perspective is a background throughout.

Each of us has our own set of life lessons to impart. Whether you're a teacher, a doctor, a mother, a caregiver, or a writer and author, the life lessons you've learned are important and can help others. I wish I had learned so many lessons while I was young enough to appreciate and implement them. The issue about wisdom, and frequently life lessons in general, is that we only learn them after we've needed them. The good news is that our experiences and the lessons we've learned can help others. One of the most difficult aspects of changing your life is remembering to put what you've learned into practice when faced with temptation, irritation, or adversity. Anyone can read about a technique and follow it, but remembering to do so in the actual world is difficult.

For many years the domain of specialists in early Latin, in complex metres, and in the reconstruction of texts, Roman comedy is now established in the mainstream of Classical literary criticism. Where most books stress the original performance as the primary location for the encountering of the plays, this book finds the locus of meaning and appreciation in the activity of a reader, albeit one whose manner of reading necessarily involves the imaginative reconstruction of performance. The texts are treated, and celebrated, as literary devices, with programmatic beginnings, middles, ends, and intertexts. All the extant plays of Plautus and Terence have at least a bit part in this book, which seeks to expose the authors' fabulous artificiality and artifice, while playing along with their differing but interrelated poses of generic humility.
