Stephen Fry Boeken

Ruby Wax’ eigen ervaringen met depressiviteit deden haar besluiten om haar tv-carrière op een laag pitje te zetten. Ze ging de menselijke geest bestuderen en behaalde een master in mindfulness aan de Universiteit van Oxford. In Tem je geest laat Wax op haar eigenzinnige manier zien hoe onze constant doorjakkerende en zelfkritische gedachten ons gestrest en angstig kunnen maken. Daarnaast legt ze uit hoe we deze cirkel kunnen doorbreken. We moeten verbindingen in onze gedachten opnieuw aanleggen en zo rust vinden in deze hectische wereld. Door het boek heen vertelt Wax bovendien op pregnante, ontroerende en vaak hilarische wijze haar eigen verhaal en hoe mindfulness haar op de been houdt.

A retelling of the Greek myth of the Trojan war

Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes. In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales. Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera. Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.

There was a woman on there who'd been married 16 years without realising her husband was gay. Extraordinary! Which reminds me, it's our 16th anniversary in a few weeks. What a coincidence.

Known as the "four horsemen" of the New Atheism, four thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their examination of ideas was wide-ranging.
