Book Description
About The Book With over Six Billion (6,000,000,000) people in Seven continents across the globe, it is not yet crystal clear to understand man how powerful his mind can be. The mind is an invisible component of the human body, powerful enough to differentiate us from every other person on earth, and capable to make us destroy our comfort zone as we seek the fulfillment of our purpose in this universe. In the pursuit of being successful, we must know our identity; who our Creator says we are, who we say we are, and who we accept ourselves to be. The emphasis in this book is on the importance of unleashing the power within you as the author writes on the mind, how a man can find his purpose, develop his personality and mental strength to overcome negativity, why he needs to reorient his mind, think positively and how he can overcome his fear. About The Author Prosenjit is a professional IT engineer and a research specialist. He has published several journal papers in The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE Computer Science), Scopus, Springer, and is also an active member of IEEE (Computer Society). Prosenjit has also written in many edited books. Based on his numerous experiences with life, he had always craved to influence his environment positively and this he chose to do through writing. As a promoter of success, he encourages hard work, mind engineering, discipline, and intentional living. His soft spot for mental freedom, effective living, and success, in general, is the main inspiration for the book. Therefore, the book is a product of his passion and conceived necessity to set readers at the right mental state required for success and fulfillment.

The Treasury of Knowledge, Book Seven and Book Eight, Parts One and Two
Author: Jamgon Kongtru Lodro Taye
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 1559393998
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Jamgön Kongtrul’s ten-volume Treasury of Knowledge is a unique encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as they were preserved in Tibet. Tibetan Buddhist teachers expected their students to study Buddhist philosophical texts as well as practice reflection and meditation; present-day students have also realized that awakening has its source in study as well as in reflection and practice. Foundations of Buddhist Study and Practice comprises Book Seven and Book Eight, Parts One and Two of the Treasury of Knowledge. Book Seven elucidates the various keys needed to correctly interpret, understand, and contemplate Buddhist teachings, including the secret teachings of the Vajrayana. Parts One and Two of Book Eight explain how the teachings are to be integrated into one’s life through the practice of meditation, which unites a state of one-pointed attention with profound insight into emptiness. Jamgön Kongtrul’s evenhanded, elegant, and authoritative statement of such controversial doctrines as unqualified emptiness (“self-empty”) and qualified emptiness (“other-empty”), provisional and definitive meaning, and conventional and ultimate truth as presented in the various schools of Tibetan Buddhism will appeal to both serious Dharma practitioners and advanced students and scholars.

The Innate Mind
Author: Peter Carruthers
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198039921
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
This is the first volume of a projected three-volume set on the subject of innateness. The extent to which the mind is innate is one of the central questions in the human sciences, with important implications for many surrounding debates. By bringing together the top nativist scholars in philosophy, psychology, and allied disciplines these volumes provide a comprehensive assessment of nativist thought and a definitive reference point for future nativist inquiry. The Innate Mind: Structure and Content, concerns the fundamental architecture of the mind, addressing such question as: What capacities, processes, representations, biases, and connections are innate? How do these innate elements feed into a story about the development of our mature cognitive capacities, and which of them are shared with other members of the animal kingdom? The editors have provided an introduction giving some of the background to debates about innateness and introducing each of the subsequent essays, as well as a consolidated bibliography that will be a valuable reference resource for all those interested in this area. The volume will be of great importance to all researchers and students interested in the fundamental nature and powers of the human mind. Together, the three volumes in the series will provide the most intensive and richly cross-disciplinary investigation of nativism ever undertaken. They point the way toward a synthesis of nativist work that promises to provide a new understanding of our minds and their place in the natural order.

The Deck of Life
Author: Richard Ferrara
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595480616
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Inspiration for The Deck of Life emerged from my clinical observations of patients in my practice of dermatology and internal medicine. I became increasingly aware of the connection between the genetic code as it relates to body build, temperament, and disease predisposition. It was further observed that these factors were influenced by the patient's "belief system" as it relates to personal characteristics, behavior, and reactions to life's situations. This book explores this unique relationship and our inherent ability to alter these features. It confirms the truth that we have a choice and an unlimited capacity to live a life stress free, with peace, happiness and longevity. In the pages of this enlightening book the reader is guided to discover his dominate and sub-dominate temperament. A better understanding of ourselves enables us to "play a winning hand" with the cards you're dealt in life. Consequently we will make decisions more wisely in the areas of health, career choice, choosing a mate, child-rearing, and the day-to-day communications and enjoyment of the people in our lives.

The Emerging Spatial Mind
Author: Jodie M. Plumert
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190293403
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 702
Book Description
How does the spatial mind develop? In this book, Jodie Plumert and John Spencer bring together the leading researchers from the field of spatial cognitive development to examine how the spatial mind emerges from its humble origins in infancy and becomes its mature, flexible, and skilled adult form. The work presented sheds light on how the emerging spatial mind is fostered and shaped over time by our experiences of thinking about and interacting in the space around us. Each chapter presents cutting-edge research and theory that addresses the two pivotal questions of what changes in the spatial mind, and how these changes come about. The authors provide both conceptual and formal theoretical accounts of developmental process at multiple levels of analysis--genes, neurons, behaviors, social interactions--creating a contemporary overview of the general mechanisms of cognitive change. Commentary chapters show how the developmental advances discussed in these accounts fit into our understanding of not only spatial cognitive development, but also spatial cognition more generally.

Encyclopedia of the Mind
Author: Harold Pashler
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1412950570
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 897
Book Description
It's hard to conceive of a topic of more broad and personal interest than the study of the mind. In addition to its traditional investigation by the disciplines of psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the mind has also been a focus of study in the fields of philosophy, economics, anthropology, linguistics, computer science, molecular biology, education, and literature. In all these approaches, there is an almost universal fascination with how the mind works and how it affects our lives and our behavior. Studies of the mind and brain have crossed many exciting thresholds in recent years, and the study of mind now represents a thoroughly cross-disciplinary effort. Researchers from a wide range of disciplines seek answers to such questions as: What is mind? How does it operate? What is consciousness? This encyclopedia brings together scholars from the entire range of mind-related academic disciplines from across the arts and humanities, social sciences, life sciences, and computer science and engineering to explore the multidimensional nature of the human mind.
