Carpe Diem Regained
Author: Roman Krznaric
Publisher: Unbound Publishing
ISBN: 1783523603
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Existentialism is back Carpe diem – ‘seize the day’ – is one of the oldest pieces of life advice in Western history. But its true spirit has been hijacked by ad men and self-help gurus, reduced to the instant hit of one-click online shopping, or slogans like ‘live in the now’. We need to reclaim it to make sense of our complex, confusing times. The last great expression of carpe diem was in the electrifying existential philosophy of the 1940s. Today it’s an idea that challenges us to confront our mortality and live with greater passion and intention rather than scroll mindlessly on our phones or allow freedom to become a mere choice between brands. In Carpe Diem Regained, Roman Krznaric reinvents existentialism for our age of information and choice overload. An essential and empowering work of contemporary philosophy, the book unveils the surprising ways of seizing the day that humankind has discovered over the centuries, ones we urgently need to revive. Carpe diem is the existentialism for our times.

Prophetic Untimeliness
Author: Os Guinness
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780801065606
Category : Christian life
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Why, when relevance is at the very heart of the gospel, are Christians today so irrelevant? And why do we compromise in the face of modern pressures? The culprit, says Os Guinness, is our starry-eyed pursuit of relevance in a highly modern form. In this short but penetrating book, Guinness uncovers the influence and pressures of the modern clock culture, which we take as natural and self-evident even though it's not. And he outlines strategies for a wise handling of time -- today's ultimate currency. To become "untimely people" -- those who are faithful despite the mesmerizing lure of the present age -- we need fresh and creative thinking coupled with a life of integrity. For our true timeliness lies finally in the untimeliness of rejecting modern timeliness. Then, and only then, will we make sense to the world around us while remaining faithful to God. Book jacket.
