Spiritually, We
Author: Sah D'Simone
Publisher: Sounds True
ISBN: 1649630808
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
“Spiritually, We is a must-read for anyone who feels lonely and disconnected.” —Dr. Nicole LePera, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work “We need each other,” says internationally bestselling author Sah D’Simone. That’s the unapologetically loving message at the heart of Spiritually, We, a moving manifesto for an increasingly “me, me, me” moment. In this bold call to action, Sah maps how contemporary spirituality has become an increasingly self-centered project, only exacerbating the loneliness that plagues modern life. Brilliantly illuminating not only why connection is a fundamental piece of a deep spiritual practice, but how to connect with others authentically, Spiritually, We is the essential field guide to deepening friendships, building community, and ultimately healing not only yourself but the whole damn world. Drawing on the insights and tools he has developed as both teacher and student—as well as the expertise of researchers, journalists, and healers across diverse fields—Sah holds nothing back as he invites us to release an “us vs them” mindset, cultivate radical compassion, and creatively transform our struggles into opportunities for awakening. Full of Sah’s trademark candor and sass, Spiritually, We is the wake-up call for our times, a deeply felt and necessary reminder that you aren’t alone, that you aren’t meant to be alone, and that it is side by side with others where true wisdom flourishes.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
As the wife of an alcoholic, author Harmony Rose searched for some validity to her emotions: she didn't want to feel crazy anymore or continue to carry the shame and blame that came with her husband's alcoholism. In Married under the Influence, she shares her story of living year after year with a husband who is an alcoholic. With excerpts from her journal entries, Rose tells how all she ever wanted was to be loved by the man she had given her heart to, but she had no idea how to reach him, even briefly contemplating suicide. Then, she had a spiritual awakening that changed their lives forever. She tells the details of her journey to not only help her understand and heal, but to help others. Including interviews with recovering alcoholics and with other wives whose husbands are alcoholics, Married under the Influence offers stories of strength, love, and hope. It shows how forgiveness can free you from your own emotional prison and how loving unconditionally doesn't have to mean losing yourself.

The works of Friedrich Nietzsche have fascinated readers around the world ever since the publication of his first book more than a hundred years ago. As Walter Kaufmann, one of the world’s leading authorities on Nietzsche, notes in his introduction, “Few writers in any age were so full of ideas,” and few writers have been so consistently misinterpreted. The Portable Nietzsche includes Kaufmann’s definitive translations of the complete and unabridged texts of Nietzsche’s four major works: Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, Nietzsche Contra Wagner and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In addition, Kaufmann brings together selections from his other books, notes, and letters, to give a full picture of Nietzsche’s development, versatility, and inexhaustibility. “In this volume, one may very conveniently have a rich review of one of the most sensitive, passionate, and misunderstood writers in Western, or any, literature.” —Newsweek
