An inspirational book that is "a smart, sweeping run through the history of Western philosophy. Important for the way it illuminates life today and for the controversial advice it offers on how to live" (The New York Times).

"What constitutes human excellence?" and "What is the best way to live a life?" These are questions that human beings have been asking since the beginning of time. In their critically acclaimed book, All Things Shining, Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly argue that our search for meaning was once fulfilled by our responsiveness to forces greater than ourselves, whether one God or many. These forces drew us in and imbued the ordinary moments of life with wonder and gratitude. Dreyfus and Kelly argue in this thought-provoking work that as we began to rely on the power of our own independent will we lost our skill for encountering the sacred.

Through their original and transformative discussion of some of the greatest works of Western literature, from Homer's Odyssey to Melville's Moby Dick, Dreyfus and Kelly reveal how we have lost our passionate engagement with the things that gave our lives purpose, and show how, by reading our culture's classics anew, we can once again be drawn into intense involvement with the wonder and beauty of the world.

Well on its way to becoming a classic itself, this inspirational book will change the way we understand our culture, our history, our sacred practices, and ourselves.

Genuinely One of My Favorites Sunscreens in Existence
I use stick sunscreen around my eyes on a daily basis. It's less likely to run into my eyes and sting than regular sunscreen. However there can still be issues. Sometimes it still irritates my eye area, looks weird under makeup, pills, or (as with most mineral sunscreens) leaves a weird cast around my eye area. I was very pleasantly surprised by this sunscreen. It feels like very light weight balm that feels heavenly on the skin. It isn't sticky, greasy, and doesn't have a weird sunscreen smell. It's moisturizing without being too moisturizing, if that makes sense. Given the price point I am absolutely amazed at the quality. If you repackaged this sunscreen and sold it as a luxury product I would be none the wiser. This will be a new staple in my daily routine.

Good for on-the-go sun protection
This is a solid purchase because the compact size makes it easy to carry around. The velvety finish feels nice on the skin and blends in clear, which is great for all skin tones. It’s also quick and easy to apply.

I recommend this product for daily use
I recommend this product because it's gentle on my skin and works well for daily use. The compact size makes it easy to carry around, and it provides good UV protection with a velvety finish. Plus, it layers under makeup nicely and adds a subtle glow. The moisturizing formula keeps my skin hydrated. Overall, a great travel-friendly sunscreen that's non-comedogenic and suits all skin tones.

Great appearance but fumes burn eyes
I like the easy application and shear appearance. Slightly dewy look. I have been using for over a year but had to stop. Each time my eyes would become more sensitive to the “fumes” wafting off my cheek bones. Unfortunately I bought three sticks because I liked it so much, but now I just apply it to my legs.

Great Sunscreen for Daily Use and Travel
This is a really great purchase because I love how compact and travel friendly it is. The UV protection is effective, and it blends in clear so no white cast. The moisturizing and velvety finish makes my skin feel soft and radiant. Perfect for daily use, and I feel confident wearing it every day.
