Completely revised and updated, this groundbreaking self-published book has sold more than 15,000 copies through limited exposure and distribution. Electrical Nutrition outlines the authors' revolutionary theories on health and nutrition based on an electrical model. Everything we think, feel, eat, and do triggers electrical responses in our bodies. Each of our cells is electrically charged, and therefore the electrical availability of what we eat has a profound effect on our health, vitality, and well-being. Instead of focusing on the chemical reactions that occur in every system of the human body, the authors contend that there is a simultaneous electrical reaction that has an equally, if not even more, important impact on our ability to digest and benefit from the food we consume. Any interruption to the flow of the body's natural electrical circuitry will have a negative effect on a cellular level which, in turn, will promote disease.Electrical Nutrition offers a practical program that includes menu plans and a listing of the best "electrically available" foods-a plan that will dramatically increase stamina, vitality, and even libido. By eliminating foods that are "electrically dead," we can rid the body of toxins that promote obesity and a host of illnesses, from chronic fatigue to heart disease, while boosting the body's natural energy and immune function.

Not available since the 1980s, this up-dated edition by the leading political philosopher, John Gray, outlines his new position on Hayek. In a substantial new chapter, Gray assesses how far the historical development of the last ten years can be deployed in a critique of Hayek's thought. His reassessment is not only a provoking study of a classical philosopher. It is also a timely contribution to the debate over the future of conservatism, as Gray argues that Hayekian liberalism - 'the most well-articulated political theory of the new right' - is flawed.

‘Remember now as you go by, as you are now so once was I …’From unmarked plots to striking monuments, Glasnevin Cemetery has become home to a microcosm of Irish society since it opened its gates in 1832. Every grave has a story to tell, but with more than a million souls resting there, many of these stories have been long forgotten.So Once Was I sets out to celebrate the quirky, strange and sometimes unbelievable tales of lesser-known figures in Ireland’s famous cemetery. Representing all threads of Irish society’s rich tapestry, from lion tamers to pioneering aviators, the mistress of the macabre to a mysterious, murderous count, forgotten revolutionaries to the mammy of Irish cooking, the cemetery’s population is reanimated in this book through vivid retellings of their lives. This intriguing tour through the national necropolis brings back to life those Joyce called the ‘faithful dead’, an intricate mosaic of stories rediscovered among the grandeur of Glasnevin’s famed monuments.

Despite the strenuous efforts to give women equal status in the workplace over the last few decades, tension between the sexes in the workplace remains as rampant as ever: during exit interviews many women, often leaving to start their own businesses, cite feeling undervalued or unappreciated at the office. Despite countless company initiatives, equality protocols, and gender seminars we have made little significant advancement. So why can't the sexes work togetherIn this fresh exploration of the relationships between men and women in the office, world-renowned expert on gender issues in the workplace, Barbara Annis, and John Gray, author of the number one relationship book of all time, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, team up to reveal the eight gender blindspots that create friction between the sexes at work. Annis and Gray use stories, science and research (including over 100,000 in-depth interviews of male and female executives in over 60 Fortune 500 companies) to expose the blindspots that cause misunderstandings, miscommunications, mistrust, resentment and frustrations. Filled with 'ah-ha' moments, Work with Me provides a blueprint for boosting your gender intelligence. It provides new insights and solutions that will help break down barriers and enable men and women to bridge their different values, build trust and increase their credibility with each other, at work and at home.

Collected here in a single volume for the first time, On Liberty, Utilitarianism, Considerations on Representative Government, and The Subjection of Women show Mill applying his liberal utilitarian philosophy to a range of issues that remain vital today - issues of the nature of ethics, the scope and limits of individual liberty, the merits of and costs of democratic government, and the place of women in society. In his Introduction John Gray describes these essays as applications of Mill's doctrine of the Art of Life, as set out in A System of Logic. Using the resources of recent revisionist scholarship, he shows Mill's work to be far richer and subtler than traditional interpretations allow.

This title challenges the notion of progress as a harmful myth and questions the belief in humanity's improvement, suggesting it often leads to absurdity or horror. It also explores whether atheism is a remnant of Christian faith, ultimately reshaping our understanding of civilization and our role within it.

A radical work of philosophy, which sets out to challenge our most cherished assumptions about what it means to be human. From Plato to Christianity, from the Enlightenment to Nietzsche and Marx, the Western tradition has been based on arrogant and erroneous beliefs about human beings and their place in the world. Philosophies such as liberalism and Marxism think of humankind as a species whose destiny is to transcend natural limits and conquer the Earth. Even in the present day, despite Darwin's discoveries, nearly all schools of thought take as their starting point the belief that humans are radically different from other animals.

Draws together the religious, philosophic and fantastical traditions that question the very idea of human freedom.

Straw Dogs is a work of philosophy, which sets out to challenge our most cherished assumptions about what it means to be human. From Plato to Christianity, from the Enlightenment to Nietzsche, the Western tradition has been based on arrogant and erroneous beliefs about human beings and their place in the world. Philosophies such as liberalism and Marxism think of humankind as a species whose destiny is to transcend natural limits and conquer the Earth. Even in the present day, despite Darwin's discoveries, nearly all schools of thought take as their starting point the belief that humans are radically different from other animals. John Gray argues that this humanist belief is an illusion. The aim of Straw Dogs is to explore how the world and human life look once humanism has been finally abandoned.Straw Dogs explores philosophical issues such as the nature of the self, free will, morality, progress and the value of truth. Drawing his inspiration from art, poetry, and the frontiers of science as well as philosophy itself, John Gray presents a post-humanist view of the world and of human life. Straw Dogs is an exhilarating, sometimes disturbing book that leads the reader to question their deepest beliefs.

This new freedom is a good thing, but it also brings new challenges.Men and women still need the right tools and skills to help build stronger relation- ships. While previous generations sought "role mate" relationships, based on the more rigid gender roles of the time, today's couples need a new kind of a "soul mate" relationship.

In Beyond Mars and Venus , Gray teaches you how to strengthen your bond and grow in love together, so you and your loved one can meet each other's needs in the best way possible, bringing you lasting happiness and a fulfilling partnership.

Utopian ideologies of the last century rejected traditional faiths and claimed to be based in science. They were actually secular versions of the myth of Apocalypse - the belief in a world-changing event that brings history, with all its conflicts, to an end. This text argues that the death of Utopia does not mean peace.

In the midst of the current financial crisis, John Gray revisits his brilliant polemic against the forces of global capitalism and deregulation.

In a substantial new chapter, Gray considers how the economic landscape has shifted in a decade, and asks the crucial question: where do we go from here?

A guide which offers strategies for maintaining a fulfilled relationship. A generation ago it was common to sacrifice personal fulfilment for the sake of preserving a married relationship.

SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A highly readable, fascinating book that jerks the debate on religion versus atheism right out of its crusted rut into the light of serious intellectual scrutiny' Observer A meditation on the importance of atheism in the modern world - and its inadequacies and contradictions - by one of Britain's leading philosophers 'When you explore older atheisms, you will find some of your firmest convictions - secular or religious - are highly questionable. If this prospect disturbs you, what you are looking for may be freedom from thought.' For a generation now, public debate has been corroded by a narrow derision of religion in the name of an often very vaguely understood 'science'. John Gray's stimulating and extremely enjoyable new book describes the rich, complex world of the atheist tradition, a tradition which he sees as in many ways as rich as that of religion itself, as well as being deeply intertwined with what is so often crudely viewed as its 'opposite'. The result is a book that sheds an extraordinary and varied light on what it is to be human and on the thinkers who have, at different times and places, battled to understand this issue.

Mars and Venus on a Date is for all single people looking for love, including the newly separated or divorced who are daunted by re-entering the singles scene. Written with the compassion and understanding that could come only from John Gray, it takes readers through the five stages of dating: Attraction, Ambivalence, Commitment (to monogamy), True Intimacy and Proposal/Marriage. In its pages, readers will find creative ideas on finding a soulmate, making a commitment and sage advice on such difficult issues as deciding when to become sexually intimate and whether or not to live with their partner. The singles universe can be a nebulous and frightening place, and the men and women alone in this void have great need for the wisdom of John Gray. In the same way that Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus became the ultimate relationship book for couples, Mars and Venus on a Date will be the singles' essential guide.

Far from being a throwback to medieval times, the fundamentalism of Al Qaeda is an entirely modern response to the world. This is the controversial view argued in John Gray's take on politics and globalization since September 11.

Another guide to communication between the sexes.

By the author of the best-selling Straw Dogs, this book is a characteristically trenchant and unflinchingly clear-sighted collection of reflections on our contemporary lot.

'Why can't a human be more like a cat? That is the question threaded through this vivid patchwork of philosophy, fiction, history and memoir ... a wonderful mixture of flippancy and profundity, astringency and tenderness, wit and lament' Jane O'Grady, Daily Telegraph 'When I play with my cat, how do I know she is not passing time with me rather than I with her?' Montaigne There is no real evidence that humans ever 'domesticated' cats. Rather, it seems that at some point cats saw the potential value to themselves of humans. John Gray's wonderful new book is an attempt to get to grips with the philosophical and moral issues around the uniquely strange relationship between ourselves and these remarkable animals. Feline Philosophy draws on centuries of philosophy, from Montaigne to Schopenhauer, to explore the complex and intimate links that have defined how we react to and behave with this most unlikely 'pet'. At the heart of the book is a sense of gratitude towards cats as perhaps the species that more than any other - in the essential loneliness of our position in the world - gives us a sense of our own animal nature.

Gray takes two major examples: the belief among a group of Edwardian intellectuals that there was a form of life after death (accessed through mediums and automatic writing), and the certainty that the science-backed Communism of the new USSR could reshape the planet, remaking mankind and freeing it from death--and in the process returning revolutionary leaders such as Lenin back to life. He interweaves these with extraordinary stories of philosophers, politicians, spiritualists, embalmers, crazed inventors, love-struck psychical researchers, journalist spies and mass killers, all of whom were driven by a specifically modern world view according to which science could make humanity invincible. 'The Immortalization Commission' raises a host of fascinating questions about what it means to be human. The great and terrible implication of Darwin's ideas was that natural selection made humans into animals like any other, doomed one day to disappear from the face of an uncaring earth.

Improving your relationships by understanding how men and women cope differently with stress.

At the heart of all human experience lies our obsession with death. This title raises questions about the 'truths' science can offer, the technology we are still exploiting for immortality - and exactly what it means to be human.

A bold, provocative reckoning with our current political delusions and dysfunctions. Ever since its publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan has unsettled and challenged how we understand the world. Condemned and vilified by each new generation, his cold political vision continues to see through any number of human political and ethical vanities. In his wonderfully stimulating book The New Leviathans, John Gray allows us to understand the world of the 2020s with all its contradictions, moral horrors, and disappointments. The collapse of the USSR ushered in an era of near apoplectic triumphalism in the West: a genuine belief that a rational, liberal, well-managed future now awaited humankind and that tyranny, nationalism, and unreason lay in the past. Since then, so many terrible events have occurred and so many poisonous ideas have flourished, and yet our liberal certainties treat them as aberrations that will somehow dissolve. Hobbes would not be so confident. Filled with fascinating and challenging observations, The New Leviathans is a powerful meditation on historical and current folly. As a species we always seem to be struggling to face the reality of base and delusive human instincts. Might a more self-aware, realistic, and disabused ethics help us?

The book presents a unique dual exploration of the Book of Job. The first part offers a translated and arranged narrative based on Professor Gray's academic commentary, providing a scholarly perspective on the classic tale. The second part is a creative reinterpretation through a poem written in Scots, titled "Job in a Cheviot Plaid," which reimagines Job's story within a Scottish context.

The book discusses the different basic hair types and how these have changed over thousands of years due to the movement and gradual blending of populations and more recently to the demands of fashion for straightening, colouring, curling or otherwise altering the hair.It begins with a description of the structure of different types of hair, and then describes how the spread of humans over the earth has led to so much hair diversity. The effect that differences in porosity, elasticity and texture have on different hair types is explained. Advice is given on how to treat hair to maintain its strength and condition and to avoid unnecessary hair loss, breakage or even scalp burn. The final chapters consider the various chemicals used in hair treatments, with their actions and interactions, and explains how to minimise the damage that careless treatment can inflict. Our hair is a unique asset, which we can use to represent an 'image', express rebellion, or even attract a mate.

Kniha kriticky zkoumá liberální koncept globálního kapitalismu a odhaluje mýty spojené s volným trhem. Autor ukazuje, že mnohé běžně přijímané ideje, jako je představa, že volný trh je přirozeným stavem, jsou ve skutečnosti klamné. Podle této myšlenky by mělo stačit odstranit politické zasahování, aby trhy mohly fungovat samostatně. Ve skutečnosti však volné trhy vznikají pouze v rámci silného centralizovaného státu, který je nezbytný pro jejich existenci. Autor upozorňuje, že po zavedení laissez faire dochází k prohlubování sociálních nerovností a k narušení sociální stability, což je v rozporu s hodnotami, které hlásají zastánci volného trhu. John Gray nenabízí jednoduchá řešení ani se neohlíží nostalgicky do minulosti, ale jasně tvrdí, že globální volný trh je utopie, odsouzená ke krachu. Jakákoliv analýza budoucnosti by neměla vycházet z hypotézy o rozšíření amerického modelu, aby se předešlo krizím, jako byla ta asijská v roce 1998 nebo nedávná krize v Argentině. Gray je profesorem European Thought na London School of Economics a autorem mnoha esejů, přispívá do deníku Guardian a literární přílohy Times.

Kniha Mars a Venuša na rande je určená predovšetkým slobodným a rozvedeným ľuďom , ale aj tým, co sa práve rozišli so svojím partnerom a hľadajú lásku - svoje druhé ja, s ktorým by mohli prežiť vzťah plný porozumenia, šťastia a nehy. Lenže na to, aby sme spoznali toho pravého, ktorý uspokojí našu potrebu intimity, vzájomnej komunikácie a nádherného ľúbostného života, musíme poznať dynamiku mužskej a ženskej túžby a osvojiť si nové spôsoby dvorenia. Aj v prípade, že nám šťastie žičilo a stretli sme ideálneho partnera, bez ovládania správnej techniky dvorenia sa môže stať, že ho stratíme. Ak si uvedomíme chyby minulosti a oslobodíme sa od starých spôsobov správania, umožní nám to vytvoriť si vzťah, o ktorom sme vždy snívali.

Am Anfang steht die mit enormen Hoffnungen verbundene große Liebe. Was am Ende bleibt, bestimmen Sie. John Gray zeigt anhand zahlreicher Beispiele. Wie Sie den gefühlvollen Umgang miteinander lernen und so Ihre Beziehung stärken können.

Kniha se zabývá otázkami liberalismu - jeho definicí, vznikem, tradicí a možnou budoucností. Autor knihu napsal z pozice liberála, ale věnuje se také problémům a mezím liberalismu.

Ve své pronikavé studii se snaží John Gray dokázat, že liberální myšlení v sobě vždy zahrnovalo dvě rozporuplné teze. Ta první tvrdí, že liberální myšlení je teorií o racionálním konsensu, který se snaží najít nejlepší životní styl pro všechny, podle druhého je liberalismus mírovou koexistencí různých životních stylů. Podle Graye je pojetí konsensu anachronismem v době, kdy v sobě i život jediného člověka obsahuje více životních stylů. Budoucnost liberalismu tak patří teorii modu vivendi, který poprvé formuloval Thomas Hobbes.

Volete sapere come raggiungere il successo nella vita? Sognate da mesi una promozione, ma non avete il coraggio di chiederla? State cercando l'amore ma non sapete come e dove trovarlo?

This brilliantly original and practical system for parenting children is the brainchild of John Gray, whose Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus books and seminars have helped millions of adults communicate more effectively and lovingly with each other. Based on this idea that children respond better to positive rather than negative reinforcement, the Children Are from Heaven program concentrates on rewarding, not punishing, children and fostering their innate desire to please their parents. Central to this approach are the five positive messages your children need to learn again and again: It's okay to be different. It's okay to make mistakes. It's okay to express negative emotions. It's okay to want more. It's okay to say no, but remember Mom and Dad are the bosses.

Dr. John Gray, geboren 1952, ist einer der bekanntesten Paar- und Familientherapeuten. In Seminaren und Vorträgen widmet er sich seit über zwanzig Jahren dem Thema Kommunikation zwischen Männern und Frauen. Seine Bücher sind in über 40 Sprachen übersetzt

Anglický filozof a politolog John Gray pokračuje ve vytříbeném, přitom však velmi břitkém, až nelítostném odhalování klamné iluze lidstva, která se nazývá víra v pokrok. Eseje původně vznikaly pro londýnský týdeník New Statesman, lze je tedy považovat i za svého druhu komentáře ke světovému dění na prahu 21. století. Gray, u nás známý zejména knihami Slamění psi či Dvě tváře liberalismu, vidí lidskou historii nikoli jako vzestupnou spirálu vedoucí do vysněného lepšího světa, ale jako nekonečný cyklus, v němž na sebe vzájemně působí proměnlivé znalosti a neměnné lidské potřeby. Jediné, čeho můžeme dosáhnout, je snažit se zkrotit drsnější instinkty člověka-divocha a drobnou prací omezovat síly, které hrozí, že nás zničí.

Kniha Krize chlapectví přináší komplexní plán pro rodiče, učitele, nebo politiky, aby zjistili, jak mohou našim synům pomoci k tomu, aby z nich byli šťastnější a zdravější muži, otcové a leadeři, kteří si zaslouží náš respekt. Co ale znamená krize chlapectví konkrétně? Jedná se o krizi vzdělávání. Chlapci mají po celém světě o 50 procent menší pravděpodobnost než dívky, že splní základní kritéria znalostí v oblasti čtení, matematiky a přírodních věd. Jedná se o krizi duševního zdraví. Počet lidí trpících ADHD roste. A zatímco míra sebevražd u chlapců a dívek je stejná, jak se z chlapců stávají mladí muži, míra sebevražd je u nich šestkrát větší než u mladých žen. Jedná se o krizi otcovské péče. Chlapci vyrůstají s otci, kteří se méně podílejí na výchově, a chlapci pak v důsledku toho častěji nedokončí školu, propadnou alkoholu nebo drogám, začnou páchat trestnou činnost a skončí ve vězení. Jedná se o krizi účelu. Původní pocit účelu, který chlapci měli - být válečníkem, leaderem nebo výlučným živitelem rodiny - se pomalu vytrácí. Řada bystrých chlapců se tak potýká s "absencí účelu", cítí se odcizení, izolovaní a propadají okamžitému potěšení.

S radostí, láskou a porozuměním vychovejte sebevědomé, vstřícné a citlivé děti. Po mnohaletých přípravách vytvořil John Gray vysoce účinný systém výchovy dětí různého věku, který označuje jako pozitivní rodičovství. Ke své teorii, že muži jsou z Marsu, ženy z Venuše, připojuje: a děti jsou z nebe. John Gray dokázal, že dnešní děti není třeba motivovat strachem z trestu, naopak, snáze je lze motivovat odměnou a přirozenou, zdravou touhou potěšit rodiče. Ústřední osu tohoto nového přístupu tvoří pět pozitivních zásad, které musíme děti učit stále dokola: Nevadí být jiný. Nevadí dělat chyby. Nevadí vyjadřovat negativní emoce. Nevadí chtít víc. Nevadí říct ne, ovšem je třeba nezapomínat, že rodiče zůstávají šéfy. Poskytněte dětem svobodu a veďte je k tomu, aby objevily a vyjádřily své skutečné já! (zásady pozitivního rodičovství, vedoucí k výchově spolupracujících, sebevědomých a citlivých dětí)

Der bedeutende britische Philosoph John Gray betrachtet den modernen Menschen als zaudernd und zögernd. Ihm gelingt es nicht, die Zufälligkeit seiner eigenen Spezies anzunehmen - mit fatalen Folgen. In England wird Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in esoterischer Manier versucht, Kontakt mit dem Jenseits aufzunehmen. Einen aggressiven Weg schlagen Naturwissenschaftler und Techniker der jungen Sowjetunion nach 1917 ein. Sie versetzen sich in die Rolle göttlicher Designer und erschaffen den »Neuen Menschen«, um das Paradies auf Erden zu errichten. Welt und Mensch sollen radikal modernisiert und wider besseres Wissen unsterblich werden. Eine Fata Morgana, die noch bis heute in der Medizin, der Genetik und in den politischen Ideologien weiterwirkt und für viele unfassbare Grausamkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts verantwortlich ist.
