Stoic - in harmony with nature

Jens Oscar Jenssen

Stoically calm explains in an easy way that we have much to learn from stoicism, a philosophy with roots in Greece in the year 300 BC. In ancient Greece stoic philosophy was conveyed in a verbal dialogue between master and apprentice. In the same spirit, the writer invites us to reflect on questions that take us to the core of being human. What is good or bad for a person? What are feelings? What is wisdom? Is there a God, or is there just Nature? Philosopher Jens Oscar Jenssen take us into stoicism with sayings of wisdom, practical exercises and reasoning developed by stoics, and show us how their philosophy of life can be adapted into modern every day life. At the same time he enlighten us in how much we can learn from the stoic way of thinking about topics like Ethics, Science, Religion and Psychology.

Brain Traps

Bjørn Roar Vassnes

Never before have we had access to so much information – but are we any the wiser? Quite the contrary, many would say, because we have never been exposed to so many lies. But this isn’t just down to fake news and social media. According to science journalist, Bjørn Vassnes, the most important reason why we are taken in lies in us. Thanks to a brain that often takes instinctive short cuts, and therefore often leads us astray, and various ”thought helpers” – thinking technology that we master too poorly (language, numbers, logic) – we lead ourselves time and time again into brain traps. And the new media reality has further increased the pitfalls, making them more difficult to identify. Vassnes’ book is a “travel guide” through this landscape. It makes the traps easier to discover and explains the background to their existence. The book is the first to present all types of thought traps in a single overview, but does so in an easily comprehensible way – like a kind of atlas of thought. The topics are illustrated with readily recognisable episodes from everyday life and more spectacular thought traps that the media and well-known figures have fallen into. It shows how thought traps affect all of today’s most important debates – about the climate, migration, new pandemics, etc – making it difficult to understand what is happening and what we ought to do.

Believe Me When I Lie

Ellen Gustavsen

Police officer Lars Lukassen sees the chance of a promotion when he is called out to investigate a dead body. The situation at the police station in Hønefoss deteriorates when a sinister figure starts plaguing schoolchildren. At the same time, teacher Johanna Brekke arrives in town and Lars is attracted to her. But what is Johanna running away from, and who is friend and who is foe in the quest for truth? Believe Me When I Lie is a psychological crime novel that spans a wide canvas, from eastern Norway to the far west of the country. The language is playful and colorful, with nature descriptions approaching the poetic and filmatic. Especially when the plot turns to western Norway, she’s good. Very good.… This book debut proves to be a solid and suspense-driven thriller, where the author shares her keen insight into the human mind.RINGERIKES BLAD
