'There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.' Hannah Gadsby, NanetteHannah Gadsby's unique stand-up special Nanette was a viral success that left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her ability to create both tension and laughter in a single moment. But while her worldwide fame might have looked like an overnight sensation, her path from open mic to the global stage was hard-fought and anything but linear. Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby's growth as a queer person from Tasmania - where homosexuality was illegal until 1997 - to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, to her struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and finally to the backbone of Nanette - the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny and the moral significance of truth-telling. Equal parts harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby's tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.

How to restore meaning to your work and life.

Marcus Aurelius var kendt som filosoffen på kejsertronen, da han skrev en lang række stoiske aforismer på græsk under sine mange felttog. Aforismerne er samlet i værket Ta eis heauton (Tanker til sig selv). Hans filosofi er præget af en beskeden og værdig holdning til livets tilskikkelser. En del af hans tanker ligner kristendommens, som han i øvrigt bekæmpede. Lighederne skyldes, at også kristendommens var påvirket af stoicismen.Marcus Aurelius' her foreliggende "Betragtninger" indeholder alle 12 bøger i L. C. Hansteens klassiske oversættelse med moderniseret retskrivning.Tidligere er udsendt Marcs Aurelius'"Tanker til sig selv", i et kommenteret udvalg ved K. G. Brøndsted.
