Books of Wisdom and Power 1 set of 3 books.

The set "Books of Wisdom and Power 1" consists of three books:
"The Book of Dead Philosophers"
A vivid book written in an accessible and witty language by popular American philosopher and promoter of the history of philosophy Simon Critchley is a... collection of short and magnificently written essays about approximately 200 thinkers and covers all major schools of thought, from classical Greek and Chinese scholars to Christian saints and contemporary theorists. In his characteristic provocative and entertaining manner, Critchley shares interesting stories about what philosophers thought about death and how they actually died. The descriptions he provides are not aimed merely at entertaining us (although they certainly succeed in that). This book, which represents a kind of collection of biographies, is markedly different from instructive volumes of popular philosophy not only in terms of the accessibility of information but also in the breadth of coverage.
"Fear"
Abigail Marsh, exploring such features of human behavior as boundless altruism and unprovoked cruelty, discovered that at the core of all such actions lies the brain's reaction to fear. By observing children with various deviations, Abigail Marsh compiled a fundamental overview of different types of fear, emotions that push people to go beyond standard, accepted behavior.
"33 Strategies of War"
War and the ways it is conducted have an unyielding, relentless logic: if you want something or strive for something, you must be ready to fight for it. Mastery of the strategic art of war will make your life more calm, peaceful, and productive, as you will know the rules of the game and will be able to achieve victories without resorting to violence. "33 Strategies of War" by Robert Greene, a seasoned connoisseur of human psychology and author of the global bestseller "48 Laws of Power," will help you find a way out of any difficult situation and make the right decision. War - like any other conflict - is waged and won through the art of strategy.
