Book Description
Publisher's note Does Eckhart Tolle, well-known author of The Power of Now and personal development writer, present us with some kind of liberating spirituality, free from any ideology? Lucia Canovi shows us that the reality is not quite so simple. In the maze of 'Tollian' concepts (ego, Being, mind...) points of convergence are exposed, along with distortions, contradictions and a hidden coherence, which lead Tolle's disciples unwittingly towards a dumbed down state of inertia: the happiness of a contented fool. This salutary book, refreshing and humorous, will be enjoyed by those who are trying to make logical sense of the doctrines of enlightened spiritual gurus, Tolle being one of them, and will interest anyone looking for inner peace... a peace that Tolle is trying to sell at too high a price. Extract. "It is as a former devout follower of Eckhart Tolle that I am warning you: his spiritual teachings are not a well of infinite wisdom. Or at least, if they are a well, they are not the sort of well which will quench your thirst, but merely the kind of well you drown in. Moreover, neither are they the road to enlightenment. At least, if they are the road to enlightenment, this enlightenment does not in any way resemble the rosy view we have of it. As far as I am concerned, I would rather not go there. On reading this book, you will not only get to see Tolle's work, but also what you might more generally refer to as his "spirituality", in a new light - a rational and discursive light. Instead of letting yourself be led along by undefined emotions and confused feelings, as Tolle encourages you to do, you will start to listen to your own inner voice of reason. After that, you are welcome to choose whichever view you find more convincing: either one where Tolle is a "spiritual master" of the highest level, or one where Tolle is the very crafty author of a rather toxic best-seller. What is crucial is that you get to see both sides of the coin; that you hold enough cards to make up your own mind; in short, that you can get to see the positives and negatives. I use the word "crucial", because becoming a disciple of Eckhart Tolle is a decision which will bring in its wake a whole host of consequences, as we are just about to discover..."

Tough

Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593329813
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
From Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Terry Crews, the deeply personal story of his lifelong obsession with strength—and how, after looking for it in all the wrong places, he finally found it Terry Crews spent decades cultivating his bodybuilder physique and bravado. On the outside, he seemed invincible: he escaped his abusive father, went pro in the NFL, and broke into the glamorous world of Hollywood. But his fixation with appearing outwardly tough eventually turned into an exhausting performance in which repressing his emotions let them get the better of him—leading him into addiction and threatening the most important relationships in his life. Now Crews is sharing the raw, never-before-told story of his quest to find the true meaning of toughness. In Tough, he examines arenas of life where he desperately sought control—masculinity, shame, sex, experiences with racism, and relationships—and recounts the setbacks and victories he faced while uprooting deeply ingrained toxic masculinity and finally confronting his insecurities, painful memories, and limiting beliefs. The result is not only the gripping story of a man's struggle against himself and how he finally got his mind right, but a bold indictment of the cultural norms and taboos that ask men to be outwardly tough while leaving them inwardly weak. With Tough, Crews's journey of transformation offers a model for anyone who considers themselves a “tough guy” but feels unfulfilled; anyone struggling with procrastination or self-sabotage; and anyone ready to achieve true, lasting self-mastery.

Languages : en

Book Description
Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages.

He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

Spec Ops
Author: William H. McRaven
Publisher: Presidio Press
ISBN: 030754723X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Vice Adm. William H. McRaven helped to devise the strategy for how to bring down Osama bin Laden, and commanded the courageous U.S. military unit that carried it out on May 1, 2011, ending one of the greatest manhunts in history. In Spec Ops, a well-organized and deeply researched study, McRaven analyzes eight classic special operations. Six are from WWII: the German commando raid on the Belgian fort Eben Emael (1940); the Italian torpedo attack on the Alexandria harbor (1941); the British commando raid on Nazaire, France (1942); the German glider rescue of Benito Mussolini (1943); the British midget-submarine attack on the Tirpitz (1943); and the U.S. Ranger rescue mission at the Cabanatuan POW camp in the Philippines (1945). The two post-WWII examples are the U.S. Army raid on the Son Tay POW camp in North Vietnam (1970) and the Israeli rescue of the skyjacked hostages in Entebbe, Uganda (1976). McRaven—who commands a U.S. Navy SEAL team—pinpoints six essential principles of “spec ops” success: simplicity, security, repetition, surprise, speed and purpose. For each of the case studies, he provides political and military context, a meticulous reconstruction of the mission itself and an analysis of the operation in relation to his six principles. McRaven deems the Son Tay raid “the best modern example of a successful spec op [which] should be considered textbook material for future missions.” His own book is an instructive textbook that will be closely studied by students of the military arts.

Dangerous Moves
Author: Coco Fusco

ISBN: 9781849763264

Pages : 0
Book Description
"The society, politics and future of Cuba are high on the world's agenda in the 21st century. Published in association with the Absolut Art Award, Dangerous Moves presents a fascinating survey of contemporary life and culture in Cuba through some of its most daring and experimental artists. Coco Fusco analyses the ways in which the regime has wielded influence over artists in recent times, showing how - in a context in which overt political speech is subject to censorship - the language of performance has emerged as the favoured means of social commentary. Focusing on a range of performative practices in visual art, music, poetry and political activism, Fusco examines the relationship between the abject body in performance and the greater body politic of a state officially defined as revolutionary yet seeking to limit and constrain dissent. A major new piece of scholarship from a global artist, writer and thinker, this is a key addition to the canon of contemporary art writing, and will be essential reading for students and scholars as well as those with a broader interest in politics, power and contemporary art."--Publisher's description.
