The Art of Stillness
Author: Pico Iyer
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476784728
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
"In The Art of Stillness, Iyer draws on the lives of well-known wanderer-monks like Cohen--as well as from his own experiences as a travel writer who chooses to spend most of his time in rural Japan--to explore why advances in technology are making us more likely to retreat. Iyer reflects that this is perhaps the reason why many people--even those with no religious commitment--seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. These aren't New Age fads so much as ways to rediscover the wisdom of an earlier age."--Publisher's description.

Stillness Is the Key
Author: Ryan Holiday
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525538585
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller & Wall Street Journal Bestseller In The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday made ancient wisdom wildly popular with a new generation of leaders in sports, politics, and technology. In his new book, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead. All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness--to be steady while the world spins around you. In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this ancient, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus. Holiday also examines figures who exemplified the power of stillness: baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose study of Zen made him the greatest home run hitter of all time; Winston Churchill, who in balancing his busy public life with time spent laying bricks and painting at his Chartwell estate managed to save the world from annihilation in the process; Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity. More than ever, people are overwhelmed. They face obstacles and egos and competition. Stillness Is the Key offers a simple but inspiring antidote to the stress of 24/7 news and social media. The stillness that we all seek is the path to meaning, contentment, and excellence in a world that needs more of it than ever.

Restoration, Book Four

Publisher: Bayla Dornon
ISBN: 1005193398
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Since he fled from his religious fundamentalist family over a year ago, young Chris Brenner has completed his first year as an initiate at the Center for Restoration, and become a student of Theresa Smith, one of the founders of the organization. Now, alone in his former teacher’s apartment in Manhattan, delving into the deceased Master's past through her writings, Chris begins to find the purpose and life-direction that has eluded him. Book Four in the RESTORATION series finds our three heroes in wildly different place. Chris has begun to carry the messages of RESTORATION to the younger generation through socially disruptive vlogs. Mary pursues her calling to help women overcome patriarchal barriers by creating and managing a day-care center for working poor mothers. And George, narrowly rescued from not one but two gold-digging blondes, must now do all in his power to protect his aunt from a man who seems to be a complete gigolo. Set against the backdrop of the decaying American empire, this series of novels details the efforts of young people to escape from the patriarchal shackles of their various religion-dominated families. Reprogramming their minds is only the first step in RESTORATION, and eventually they must resume the journeys that were interrupted, finding careers, love, and heartbreak.
