Grateful
Author: Diana Butler Bass
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062659510
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The Wilbur Award-winning book Grateful is now available in paperback and with an updated subtitle. If gratitude is good, why is it so hard to do? In Grateful, Diana Butler Bass untangles our conflicting understandings of gratitude and sets the table for a renewed practice of giving thanks. We know that gratitude is good, but many of us find it hard to sustain a meaningful life of gratefulness. Four out of five Americans report feeling gratitude on a regular basis, but those private feelings seem disconnected from larger concerns of our public lives. In Grateful, cultural observer and theologian Diana Butler Bass takes on this “gratitude gap” and offers up surprising, relevant, and powerful insights to practice gratitude. Bass, author of the award-winning Grounded and ten other books on spirituality and culture, explores the transformative, subversive power of gratitude for our personal lives and in communities. Using her trademark blend of historical research, spiritual insights, and timely cultural observation, she shows how we can overcome this gap and make change in our own lives and in the world. With honest stories and heartrending examples from history and her own life, Bass reclaims gratitude as a path to greater connection with god, with others, with the world, and even with our own souls. It’s time to embrace a more radical practice of gratitude—the virtue that heals us and helps us thrive.

Get Over It!

Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401947794
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Get Over It! is a tool and a process that offers readers a path to dominion over their most powerful asset: their mind. In today’s turbulent climate, it can be challenging to stay on top of what is going on around us day-to-day, such as economic shifts, societal breakdowns, and lifestyle changes. We have become disconnected from our personal power, the intuitive light created by our autonomous thoughts. Through Get Over It!, a prayer book with a therapeutic underpinning, Iyanla offers practical tools based on the scientific theory of neuroplasticity, so we can transmute the dominant negative thought patterns (DNTPs) that threaten our sanity and spirituality on a daily basis. In Get Over It!, Iyanla identifies 42 common DNTPs and breaks them down into three key elements: 1. The train of thought that produces the pattern 2. A prayer and affirmation to neutralize the pattern 3. Self-directed spiritual practices (including meditations) that support the neutralization of the pattern in the mind and bod Through becoming aware of and neutralizing our DNTPs, we will up our “wattage”: our ability to see and live beyond the influences and turbulence of our external environment.

How Women Became Poets
Author: Emily Hauser
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691201072
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
"This book that shows how ancient poets broke the silence of literary gender norms to express their own voices, and thus illuminating long neglected discussions of gender in the ancient world. In How Women Became Poets, Emily Hauser provides a startling new history of classical literature that redefines the canon as a constant struggle to be heard through, and sometimes despite, gender. By bringing together recent studies in ancient authorship, gender, and performativity, Hauser offers gendered lens to issues of voice and identity in classical literature and poetry. What emerges from this is a new literary history that reframes the authors of classical literature as both enforcing and exploring gender, and shows for the first time how women broke the silence of gender norms around literary production to express their own voices. By revisiting traditional assumptions about the canon of Greek literature, and highlighting the articulated construction of masculinity in Greek poetic texts, the book places ancient women poets back onto center stage as principal actors in the drama of the debate around what it means to create poetry. Much of the importance of this work is adding in female authors to the history of Greek literature, both well-known and marginal, while demonstrating how the idea of the author was born in the battleground of gender"--

Awakened Conversations
Author: Ashley Dawn
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982219270
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
This captivating, true story, pushes the limits of what we all have believed to be true. As Medium Ashley Dawn helps a grieving family connect to their son ‘J’, together they discover more about the universe than they ever thought possible. With her link to the other side, her guide ‘J’ provides answers to deep and controversial questions, shedding light on that which is otherwise hidden. “Is there such thing as hell?” J’s answer: “At home- where I am (heaven) everything is beautiful. On Earth we feel more separated from each other, and “THE” (God or source), than at any other place in the universe. This illusion creates fear. There is no greater hell than the one we create here, on earth” “How is earth different than other realms?” J’s answer: “Each realm is different and as you use less empathy and telepathy they become more difficult. Earth is the most difficult and hardest place to be, so you must take classes before you’re allowed to enter into a realm. The events and emotions on earth also go from passion to despair. These constant ups and downs are challenging to navigate. This makes earth one of the hardest realms from which to learn. However, earth also provides a tremendous amount of growth for a soul’s journey.”
