Book Description
The first English translation of the classic Japanese novel that has sold over 2 million copies—a childhood favorite of anime master Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle), with an introduction by Neil Gaiman. First published in 1937, Genzaburō Yoshino’s How Do You Live? has long been acknowledged in Japan as a crossover classic for young readers. Academy Award–winning animator Hayao Miyazaki has called it his favorite childhood book and announced plans to emerge from retirement to make it the basis of his final film. How Do You Live? is narrated in two voices. The first belongs to Copper, fifteen, who after the death of his father must confront inevitable and enormous change, including his own betrayal of his best friend. In between episodes of Copper’s emerging story, his uncle writes to him in a journal, sharing knowledge and offering advice on life’s big questions as Copper begins to encounter them. Over the course of the story, Copper, like his namesake Copernicus, looks to the stars, and uses his discoveries about the heavens, earth, and human nature to answer the question of how he will live. This first-ever English-language translation of a Japanese classic about finding one’s place in a world both infinitely large and unimaginably small is perfect for readers of philosophical fiction like The Alchemist and The Little Prince, as well as Miyazaki fans eager to understand one of his most important influences.

How Are We to Live?
Author: Peter Singer
Publisher: Prometheus Books
ISBN: 1615920919
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Many people have an uneasy feeling that they may be missing out on something basic that would give their lives a significance it currently lacks. But how should we live? What is there to stop us behaving selfishly? In this account, which makes reference to a wide variety of sources and everyday issues, Peter Singer suggests that the conventional pursuit of self-interest is individually and collectively self-defeating. Taking into consideration the beliefs of Jesus, Kant, Rousseau, and Adam Smith amongst others, he looks at a number of different cultures, including America, Japan, and the Aborigines to assess whether or not selfishness is in our genes and how we may find greater satisfaction in an ethical lifestyle.

How We Are
Author: Vincent Deary
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374713219
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
The first book in a major new trilogy, How to Live: How We Are, How We Break, and How We Mend We live in small worlds. How We Are is an astonishing debut and the first part of the monumental How to Live trilogy, a profound and ambitious work that gets to the heart of what it means to be human: how we are, how we break, and how we mend. In Book One, How We Are, we explore the power of habit and the difficulty of change. As Vincent Deary shows us, we live most of our lives automatically, in small worlds of comfortable routine—what he calls Act One. Conscious change requires deliberate effort, so for the most part we avoid it. But inevitably, from within or without, something comes along to disturb our small worlds—some News from Elsewhere. And with reluctance, we begin the work of adjustment: Act Two. Over decades of psychotherapeutic work, Deary has witnessed the theater of change—how ordinary people get stuck, struggle with new circumstances, and finally transform for the better. He is keenly aware that novelists, poets, philosophers, and theologians have grappled with these experiences for far longer than psychologists. Drawing on his own personal experience and a staggering range of literary, philosophical, and cultural sources, Deary has produced a mesmerizing and universal portrait of the human condition. Part psychologist, part philosopher, part novelist, Deary helps us to see how we can resist being habit machines, and make our acts and our lives more fully our own.

Despite being part of one of the most mobile societies in history, it's easy for us to feel stuck where we are. Whether because of a recent move or because we're still in the exact same place we've been for years, many of us just aren't where we thought we'd be or doing what we thought we'd be doing. Sometimes we may wonder if God knows what he's doing. How can this be part of his plan? With enthusiasm and contagious joy, Shauna Pilgreen assures readers that, yes, God does have a plan and a purpose for them--right where they are. In fact, he sent them there. She invites readers to "live sent," showing them how to see their surroundings with fresh eyes and renewed energy. Weaving her own remarkable story with biblical habits readers can incorporate into their daily routines, Pilgreen equips us to reach out into our communities with God's love, knowing that our efforts are never in vain.

Book Description
• It was to Paul that the Lord gave the meaning of the New Covenant, which is the meaning of the Cross, which incorporates the entire Plan of God. • Paul, as no other Prophet or Apostle, tells us how to live a Victorious Life in Christ. Although it runs through the entirety of his Epistles, the greater thrust is found in Romans, Chapters 6, 7, and 8. • While one can be Saved without understanding what Paul taught about the Victorious Life, pure and simple, one cannot walk in victory without understanding this great truth. • The truth represented in this book, “Brother Swaggart, How Do I Live A Victorious Life?” is that which was given to Paul and then Paul gave it to us. I believe the information contained therein, can and will totally revolutionize your life and living.

Book Description
It’s the red & white checkered tablecloth we all grew up with. Remember those Fisher Price childhood toys we played with? It is now time to sweep through these memories and place a magnifying glass over our lives with this self-reflective journal that is centered on just YOU. Who you are? Why you are here? What really is life? Let go of what you have been told and listen to a new voice, yours. Relationships are a part of life, and cannot be avoided. So isn’t finding a process that works for you the real answer? This journal helps you to find your process, which in turn, will help you to understand the world around you from an empowering perspective. Then you will know how to live when you don’t fit in. From the Authors: If you have any interest in things other than people’s stories, complaints & drama and feel that there is something else out there, you’re right, there is. And that’s where we are. Social media, television, movies, other self-help books are unfulfilling. They just perpetuate an empty feeling. If you are interested in what everyone else is doing, keep supporting them. Yet, if you are interested in accessing something else within yourself and all around you, our books help to open the door to magic, science, creativity, & psychic ability. We work with energy. What does that mean? Everyone wants to talk to us or be in our conversations. So, we wrote about what we know and have experienced.
