Recent Highlights

“"Seeing comes before words." In this opening section, Berger argues that children recognize the world through seeing before they learn to speak. Our first relationship with the world is established through vision. He then develops a central idea of the book: what we see is never determined by our eyes alone. Our knowledge, beliefs, memories, and cultural background all shape the way we see. As a result, two people can look at the same image yet perceive it differently.”

Ways of seeing@bukapostrophe

“The life you've constructed is a direct reflection of your focus on what matters. Life is easier when you focus on what you have rather than what's missing. Life is easier when you focus on what you can control. Life is easier when you focus on what's happening now. Life is easier when you focus on solutions, not problems. Life is easier when you focus on progress, not perfection.”

Act and Achieve Become your dream@lastminute

“We are shaped by sentences long before we understand ourselves. A single line, read at the right moment, can redirect a life. This is what Readicate is for: to notice which words are quietly rebuilding you. To read is to write yourself anew.”

On Reading and Becoming@lastminute

“The difference between being and having is not essentially that between East and West. The difference is rather between a society centered around persons and one centered around things.”

To Have or to Be?@bukapostrophe

“Living structures can be only if they become; they can exist only if they change. Change and growth are inherent qualities of the life process.”

To Have or to Be?@bukapostrophe

““People should not consider so much what they are to do as what they are. … Thus take care that your emphasis is laid on being good and not on the number or kind of things to be done. Emphasize rather the fundamentals on which your work rests.””

To Have or to Be?@bukapostrophe

“We are a society of notoriously unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive, dependent—people who are glad when we have killed the time we are trying so hard to save.”

To Have or to Be?@bukapostrophe

“On the Shabbat one lives as if one has nothing, pursuing no aim except being, that is, expressing one’s essential powers: praying, studying, eating, drinking, singing, making love.”
