Smile At Strangers

Pages : 309
Book Description
“Eat, pray . . . kick ass. Delivered with self-deprecating candor, Schorn's life lessons learned at the dojo will resonate with anyone who's ever tried to remodel a house, raise kids, cope with a health crisis, navigate office politics or hyperventilated—essentially anyone who's ever been slammed on the mat while testing for the black belt of life. Like the fighter herself, you can't put this one down.”—Mary Moore, author of The Unexpected When You're Expecting Susan Schorn led an anxious life. For no clear reason, she had become progressively paralyzed by fear. Fed up with feeling powerless, she took up karate. She learned how to say no and how to fight when you have to (even in the dark). Karate taught her how to persuade her husband to wear a helmet, best one bossy Girl Scout troop leader, and set boundaries with an over-sharing boss. Here this double black belt recounts a fighting, biting, laughing woman's journey on the road to living fearlessly—where enlightenment is as much about embracing absurdity and landing a punch as about finding that perfect method of meditation. Full of hilarious hijinks and tactical wisdom, Schorn's quest for a more satisfying life features practical—and often counterintuitive—lessons about safety and self defense. Smile at strangers, she says. Question your habits, your fears, your self-criticism: Self-criticism is easy. Self-improvement is hard. And don’t forget this essential gem: Everybody wants to have adventures. Whether they know it or not. Join the adventure in these pages, and come through it poised to have more of your own.

Gratitude For Manifestation - How To Become The Master Of Your Life Through Gratitude
Author: Kathleen Cameron
Publisher: Leadher Publishing
ISBN: 9781777017750
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
At any given moment, you can be on the edge of a massive breakthrough, a quantum leap, or a monumental paradigm shift. Tiny adjustments to your thoughts, feelings, and actions can create a hugely impactful ripple effect that has the power to change your entire life. If you want to manifest anything into your life, you need to zero in on a few simple, foundational practices that, when practiced regularly, can help you attract whatever you want into your life, with ease. Manifestation is possible for everyone, but not everyone will pursue it. Why? Well... probably because it all seems too simple. It seems so simple, in fact, that many will write it off as "unimportant." Manifestation itself is not difficult, but in order for it to work for you, it requires a consistency of effort and a regular focus on what it is you picture attracting into your life. It may take time, yes; but the actual practice is simple. Often when things seem too simple, we assume they aren't powerful. On the contrary, if you're ready to shift, you're about to learn exactly how to manifest your desires into reality. As long as you're willing to commit to the practice and the process, you can see the law of manifestation work for you, too. Kathleen Cameron and Andrea Cox have mastered the art of manifestation. Through regular focus on the very principles you're about to experience inside this journal, they have perfected the art of manifestation and the key concept that sets the foundation for manifestation to occur: gratitude. Kathleen and Andrea are a product of the process you're about to learn. Case in point: they manifested each other into their respective energies for the sole purpose of creating the journal you hold in your hands right now. It began as a thought, it turned into a feeling, it became a visualization and then, it manifested into reality. Gratitude for Manifestation has the potential to unlock your manifesting power and put into practice the most fundamental manifestation techniques you need to attract everything you want into your life. Today can be just one day, or it can be day one. You have the power to decide.

Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha
Author: Daniel Ingram
Publisher: Aeon Books
ISBN: 1780498152
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 715
Book Description
The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.

Hyper-Learning
Author: Edward D. Hess

ISBN: 1523089261
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
“Ed Hess's Hyper-Learning is uniquely practical and is the essential starting point for charting new ways of thinking, living, working, leading, and being fulfilled in our new world.” —Gary Roughead, Admiral, US Navy (retired) former Chief of Naval Operations The Digital Age will raise the question of how we humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally in ways that technology can't. Professor Ed Hess believes that requires us to become Hyper-Learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models. Hyper-Learning requires a new way of being and a radical new way of working. In Part 1 of this how-to book, Hess takes a practical workbook approach and helps readers create their Hyper-Learning Mindset, choose and embrace their needed Hyper-Learning Behaviors, and adopt their daily Hyper-Learning Practices. In Part 2, Hess focuses on how to humanize the workplace to optimize Hyper-Learning. Featuring case studies of three business leaders and two public companies, this book shows how to harness the power of human emotions, choices, and behaviors to enable the highest levels of human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral performance—individually and organizationally.

Daring to Trust
Author: David Richo
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 1590309243
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
The best-selling author of How to Be an Adult in Relationships explains how to build trust—the essential ingredient in successful relationships—in spite of fear or past betrayals Most relationship problems are essentially trust issues, explains psychotherapist David Richo. Whether it’s fear of commitment, insecurity, jealousy, or a tendency to be controlling, the real obstacle is a fundamental lack of trust—both in ourselves and in our partner. Daring to Trust explores the importance of trust throughout our emotional lives: how it develops in childhood and how it becomes an essential ingredient in healthy adult relationships. It offers key insights and practical exercises for exploring and addressing our trust issues in relationships. Topics include: • How we learn early in life to trust others (or not to trust them) • Why we fear trusting • Developing greater trust in ourselves as the basis for trusting others • How to know if someone is trustworthy • Naïve trust vs. healthy, adult trust • What to do when trust is broken Ultimately, Richo explains, we must develop trust in four directions: toward ourselves, toward others, toward life as it is, and toward a higher power or spiritual path. These four types of trust are not only the basis of healthy relationships, they are also the foundation of emotional well-being and freedom from fear.
