This is an exuberant tale of craftsmanship for nature lovers and rugged outdoor types everywhere! Robert Penn cut down an ash tree to see how many things could be made from it. After all, ash is the tree we have made the greatest and most varied use of over the course of human history. Journeying from Wales across Europe and Ireland to the USA, Robert finds that the ancient skills and knowledge of the properties of ash, developed over millennia making wheels and arrows, furniture and baseball bats, are far from dead. The book chronicles how the urge to understand and appreciate trees still runs through us all like grain through wood.

Books The Man Who Made Things Out Of Trees By Robert Penn

Just why is self-knowledge such a prestigious good? What are the dangers that come with a lack of self-knowledge? And what do we in fact need to know about ourselves? This entertaining guide focuses on the areas of self-knowledge that matter most in life: the areas concerned with the inner psychological core of the self. Self-knowledge isn’t so much a set of statements that one gives assent to. Rather, it’s a set of capacities for dealing better with one’s needs and weaknesses and generally being better at handling oneself.

Books Self Knowledge By School Of Life

On Confidence walks us gently and wryly around the key issues that stop us from making more of our potential. We hear about the impostor syndrome, the wisdom of imagining the great in their bathrooms and what Nietzsche and Montaigne (among others) have to tell us about resilience and courage. We often stay stuck with the level of confidence we have because we implicitly regard being confident as a matter of slightly freakish and unrepeatable good luck. In fact, as this essay charmingly shows, the opposite is true.
