The dream of a happy life has preoccupied thinkers since Plato, and in modern times it has become one of the signature tunes of our age the rise of therapists, gurus, New Age cults and the use of Prozac are familiar indicators of how ubiquitous the pursuit of happiness has become within Western culture.
The Happiness Paradox examines how this modern obsession has evolved. Ziyad Marar shows how the state of mind we seek remains highly elusive, and much of the energy devoted to searching for happiness is wasted or even self-defeating. The author argues that happiness is a deceptively...

ISBN: 9781474298339 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Judging other people and being judged by them is an inescapable part of our social reality. There is no occasion in which we can be a social being in the world without participating in acts of judgement. Our increasing preoccupation with online 'selves' only serves to intensify and extend this experience of constantly having a reputation to maintain and protect. Ziyad Marar's provocative and thoroughly engaging exploration of judgement in our contemporary world is an urgent work responding to the fragility of reputation - when one careless tweet can destroy a career or one foolish image...

Intimacy
ISBN: 9781844658220 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The hope for intimacy lies deep within us all. That moment of feeling uniquely understood, the antidote to isolation, is what gives us value, validation and self-belief. But as Ziyad Marar shows in this fascinating and engaging study, intimacy is a tricky business. The prevalence of social media, for example, is a sign of our desire for human connection, yet is a symptom of how little we truly achieve it. Often confused with love, intimacy is in many ways more important. Marar's investigation and celebration of this elusive but profound human experience shows how intimacy is central to a...

ISBN: 9781844655274 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Only connect we are told. Yet one only has to look around on Valentine's Day for a sobering reminder that there is rather less intimacy in the world than there appears to be. Popular culture assures us that couples, friends, family members and even strangers on a train can easily find that sense of deep connection and mutual understanding. Yet in an age of consumption and new media where friending has become a verb, genuine intimacy seems harder to find than ever. Drawing on novels and films as well as psychology, sociology and philosophy, Ziyad Marar offers four lenses through which to...
