Book Description
Mindfulness doesn't make other people less irritating, it makes us less irritable. I understand why you do what you do, because the ego in me sees the ego in you. Each chapter in this book is an episode from the Buddhist Boot Camp Podcast, offering food for thought about the non-judgmental benefits of recognizing and acknowledging both the ego and the divinity within us all. It's not about living in a bubble where nobody pushes your buttons, it's about getting to a point where you don't have any buttons that can be pushed.

Pages : 116
Book Description
Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation’s short attention span. The chapters in this small book can be read in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don’t need to be a Buddhist to find this book motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, “Don’t try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are.” Whether it’s Mother Teresa’s acts of charity, Gandhi’s perseverance, or your aunt Betty’s calm demeanor, it doesn’t matter who inspires you, so long as you’re motivated to be better today than you were yesterday. Regardless or religion or geographical region, race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, flexibility, or vulnerability, if you do good, you feel good, and if you do bad, you feel bad. If you agree that Buddhism isn’t just about meditating, but also about rolling up your sleeves and relieving some of the suffering in the world, then you are ready to be a soldier of peace in the army of love; welcome to Buddhist Boot Camp!

Faithfully Religionless

Pages : 121
Book Description
Discover the difference between feelings and emotions, the disparity between truths and facts, and the countless benefits of mindful living. When his pursuit of happiness in Corporate America feels counterproductive, Timber Hawkeye escapes the flourescent-lit hell of his cubicle in Seattle and sets out to fully embrace the stress-free lifestyle of Hawaii. Intrigued and curious about what people believe (and why they believe what they do), he questions everything he ever thought was true and discovers the beauty of letting go. If you consider yourself spiritual but not religious, then you're going to love this inspirational book. And if you want to lead a simple and uncomplicated life with happiness at your fingertips, then you'll want to read this page-turner more than once! "It's not that I'm against religion, I simply don't have one (nor do I believe that we need it to be ethical). My faith is doctrine-free, with a definition of God that doesn't conjure a white man in the sky who dispenses blessings for good behavior and harsh judgments to condemn the bad. That's because I don't believe God does that; religion does. You see, faith is a spiritual practice of continually letting go of certainty, of ego, and of the underlying need to know, while religion is a ceremonial tradition of hanging on, clinging to concrete dogmas, stubborn rigidity, and ageless rituals."

Love and the Eye
Author: Laura Newbern

ISBN: 9781888553345
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 59
Book Description
In Love and the Eye there is no world. only images of a world holding so fast to us we are more nature than human, more landscape than flesh. There is a delicate elegance in the shifting gaze of these poems. One leans into their beauty because of all the ways they do not settle down. because of all the ways they insist on seeing---Claudia Rankine Here is a voice that will stay with you long after the book is closed and safely on your shelf. A haunting, once-upon-a-time voice. as if a wide-eyed child lost in the woods forever and a day emerged. finally, to speak: "A lark flew through the word so/l loved it." With the lightest of touches. Newbern has given us a touching and magical book---Alice Friman Nothing is out of reach for this very fine poet---not childhood or love, not the old, the mad, the body, not Gandhi's ashes or caves in greece. "To grieve is my occupation." she tells us as she opens so much more...speaking of a thing a told" so deeply into my ear it would begin/to bloom there."---Marianne Boruch Love and the Eye is playful and grave, wry and intimate. self-deprecating and passionate. It is precise and yet has the sideways movement of dreams. Newbern speaks in a voice completely her own, showing us everything from an angle we hadn't seen with surprising and revelatory clarity. A book to be welcomed and cherished.---Reginald Gibbons Newbern gives us a transformative vision in which beauty is evident everywhere: mosquitoes as "a thousand/black lace stars/hugging the white walls: sadness that hangs.../like a sumptuous grape." Shining sadness limns these poems---quiet grief like the dark edge of a cloud or field: ever-present and capable of making one who loves love harder.---Natasha Trethewey

All quiet is not created equal. In this irresistibly charming picture book, many different quiet moments are captured, from the anticipation-heavy “Top of the roller coaster quiet” to the shocked-into-silence “First look at your new hairstyle quiet.” The impossibly sweet bears, rabbits, fish, birds, and iguanas are all rendered in soft pencils and colored digitally, and, as in all of the best picture books, the illustrations propel the story far beyond the words. A sure-to-be-a-classic bedtime favorite.
