Book Description
A group of prominent political leaders and thinkers offers a pathway to cut through the gridlock and make our government work. Every year the President stands before Congress and the American people to deliver a State of the Union Address. What was once an opportunity for honest reflection on accomplishments and goals has become more of a laundry list than a speech—a grab bag of policy ideas, partisan rhetoric, and a healthy dose of wishful thinking. Meanwhile, the gridlock in Washington means that virtually nothing in that speech will amount to anything but talk. Governor Jon Huntsman and Senator Joe Manchin, two of the most respected and straightforward political leaders in America, have a simple solution for Washington's gridlock. It begins with getting our leaders together at the table to agree to goals not just for their party but for the whole country. In this book, Huntsman and Manchin are joined by experts and politicians from both sides of the aisle, including thought leaders from business, economics, and academia. Contributors include two former White House Chiefs of Staff; former OMB Director Alice Rivlin; Glenn Hubbard, Dean of Columbia Business School; nine members of Congress committed to solving Washington's endemic problems; and more contributors from every walk of life. These contributors are all making a loud call for a new process of running the United States of America. “Politics doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game—we are going to share the future, and so we need to find ways to work together…a timely book.” —President Bill Clinton “President Clinton and I disagreed on many things, but we did agree on two very large goals—balanced budgets and welfare reform. These shared goals allowed us to focus energy on bridging the gap between the parties…By proposing four large goals around which to rally the country, No Labels: A Shared Vision for a Stronger America lays the groundwork for a return to meaningful bipartisan accomplishment in Washington.”—Newt Gingrich

Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
We are here for a reason. We have a purpose. It drives us every day and motivates us to keep moving forward with faith and hope. We believe that something better will come. We believe that life is preparing us for great things. We believe in the transcendence of being and in the evolution of people as human beings, luminous beings that radiate energy and vibrate with the universe. We believe in a superior force, in the Creator of life. We believe that we always have a new day to do things differently. Today, I want you to know with absolute certainty and conviction that nothing will ever change the reason why you have come to this world. You are not a chance in this life. You are not here by chance. It doesn't matter where you come from, the circumstances in which you were brought to this world, or anything else. The events that have happened since your childhood or since your gestation have shaped you into the person you are today. You have a reason to be and to exist. Every act, every experience, every desert and valley crossed is preparing you and bringing you closer to it, even if you cannot see it at that moment. You will always face challenges. The storms of life come to all of us, and they will take us to that point of questioning or meditation on what is the real purpose of our existence, why we are here, and when we will achieve the mission entrusted to us. What path should you take and what decisions should you make? If you're facing a challenging situation today or want to know how to get closer to your purpose, read this book. You'll face challenges and storms throughout your life, but you can overcome them. Your human part is exposed to fragility, but you must not lose hope or faith. There is an immovable purpose for your life. Do not allow frustration to take root in your heart. You may be in the middle of a storm, under a gray sky, but you will get through it. If you're facing a challenging situation or want to take the next steps to achieve your purpose, read this book. Life will always throw you challenges and storms, but you can overcome them. Don't lose hope or faith. An immovable purpose for your life means you must not allow frustration to take root in your heart. You may be in the middle of a storm, under a grey sky, going through the worst desert of your season, or you may be passing through a desolate valley. The key is to not allow that storm to enter and contaminate your heart. Don't let the external world break into you. Don't let circumstances control your life. Learn to be stable from the inside out. Moving towards your purpose gives you tips you can consciously apply to be calm and quiet the voices of your mind, connect with creation and your calling, and walk deeper in your life, living intentionally, not only from what you see on the surface.

The Essential Child
Author: Susan A. Gelman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190623500
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Essentialism is the idea that certain categories, such as "dog," "man," or "intelligence," have an underlying reality or true nature that gives objects their identity. Where does this idea come from? In this book, Susan Gelman argues that essentialism is an early cognitive bias. Young children's concepts reflect a deep commitment to essentialism, and this commitment leads children to look beyond the obvious in many converging ways: when learning words, generalizing knowledge to new category members, reasoning about the insides of things, contemplating the role of nature versus nurture, and constructing causal explanations. Gelman argues against the standard view of children as concrete or focused on the obvious, instead claiming that children have an early, powerful tendency to search for hidden, non-obvious features of things. She also attacks claims that children build up their knowledge of the world based on simple, associative learning strategies, arguing that children's concepts are embedded in rich folk theories. Parents don't explicitly teach children to essentialize; instead, during the preschool years, children spontaneously construct concepts and beliefs that reflect an essentialist bias. Essentialist accounts have been offered, in one form or another, for thousands of years, extending back at least to Aristotle and Plato. Yet this book is the first to address the issues surrounding essentialism from a psychological perspective. Gelman synthesizes over 15 years of empirical research on essentialism into a unified framework and explores the broader lessons that the research imparts concerning, among other things, human concepts, children's thinking, and the ways in which language influences thought. This volume will appeal to developmental, cognitive, and social psychologists, as well as to scholars in cognitive science and philosophy.

You Are Still Here
Author: Kyogen Carlson
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 1611809320
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
“There’s so much to learn and so much to know. It’s good to keep moving forward. And yet whatever we have is, in a very profound way, absolutely complete and always enough.”—Kyogen Carlson Kyogen Carlson (1948–2014) was a Soto Zen priest whose writings, teachings, and commitment to interfaith dialogue supported and inspired countless Buddhist, Christian, and other spiritual practitioners. Set to the rhythm of the seasons, You Are Still Here is the first published collection of Carlson’s dharma talks. It illuminates key elements of contemporary Zen practice, such as the experience of zazen meditation, the pitfalls and intimacies of the teacher-student relationship and of sangha life, the role of community in personal practice, and the importance of interfaith dialogue reaching across political lines. Carlson’s teachings also underscore his commitment to lay Buddhist practice and women’s lineages, both significant contributions to American Buddhism. The beautifully distilled talks have been carefully edited and introduced by Sallie Jiko Tisdale, a respected writer, teacher, and Dharma heir to Carlson. Her masterful presentation highlights the significance of these illuminating teachings, while preserving Carlson’s distinct style of authenticity, humor, and conviction on the Zen path.
