GuRu
by RuPaulFOREWORD BY JANE FONDAA timeless collection of philosophies from renaissance performer and the world’s most famous shape-shifter RuPaul, whose sage outlook has created an unprecedented career for more than thirty-five years. GuRu is packed with more than 80 beautiful photographs that illustrate the concept of building the life you want from the outside in and the inside out."You’re born naked and the rest is drag."As someone who has deconstructed life’s hilarious facade, RuPaul has broken "the fourth wall" to expand on the concept of mind, body, and spirit. This unique perspective has allowed RuPaul to break the shackles of self-imposed limitations, but reader beware, this is a daily practice that requires diligence and touchstones to keep you walking in the sunshine of the spirit. Once you’re willing to look beyond the identity that was given to you, a hidden world of possibilities will open its doors.Throughout the history of humans on this planet, there’ve always been shaman, seers, and mediums who are able to interpret both high and low frequencies and remind humans to look beyond the surface for the truth of who we really are. And who we really are is an extension of the power that created the universe (aka: God in drag). FYI: most people are not willing to hear or accept that.That is RuPaul’s secret for success, not only in show business, but in all aspects of life, especially in navigating the emotional landmines that inhibit most sweet, sensitive souls.If you think this book is just about "doing drag," you are sorely mistaken because for RuPaul, drag is merely a device to deactivate the identity-based ego and allow space for the unlimited.
Las tres preguntas: Cómo descubrir y dominar el poder de tu interior
by Don Miguel Ruiz Barbara EmrysEn Los cuatro acuerdos, don Miguel Ruiz introduce a los buscadores en la senda a la iluminación a los principios de la cultura espiritual mesoamericana: los antiguos toltecas. En este libro nos adentra en las prácticas de los nativos americanos, y nos pide que consideremos algunas preguntas esenciales que rigen nuestras vidas y gobiernan nuestro poder espiritual. Tres preguntas eternas pueden guiarnos a descubrir nuestro poder y usarlo juiciosamente:•¿Quién soy?•¿Qué es lo real?•¿Cómo expreso amor?En cada etapa de nuestras vidas debemos hacernos estas preguntas sencillas pero muy profundas. El encontrar las respuestas nos abrirá las puertas a la siguiente etapa en nuestro crecimiento y finalmente nos conducirá a nuestro yo, completo y verdadero. Pero, como aclara don Miguel Ruiz, si no hacemos estas preguntas –o si no prestamos atención a las respuestas– seremos nosotros quienes sufriremos, porque nunca conseguiremos actuar según nuestro poder o lo usaremos para destrucción. Solo cuando el poder esté ligado a nuestra identidad, podrá estar alineado con el universo y ser de verdadero provecho para nosotros y para los demás. Las tres preguntas anteriores proveen un marco práctico que permite a los lectores involucrarse con el mensaje transformador de Ruiz y actuar como un medio para vencer el temor y la ansiedad, y hallar la paz interior. Como una guía fundamental para todos los buscadores que persiguen el autoconocimiento, el entendimiento y la aceptación, este libro es el próximo paso en nuestra metamorfosis espiritual singular.
Old School Grit: Times May Change, But The Rules For Success Never Do (Sports For The Soul Series)
by Darrin DonnellyPsychologists tell us that the secret to a successful and happy life, more than anything else, is something called GRIT. Defined as the willpower to persevere with passion and a sense of purpose, research shows that grit is what matters most in whether a person succeeds or fails. <P><P> That same research shows that previous generations had a lot more grit than today's younger generations. This isn't surprising. After all, most of us would agree that those older, wiser, and tougher members of the Greatest Generation are prime examples of what it means to persevere, to never back down, and to make sacrifices for a greater purpose. We could all use more of the OLD SCHOOL GRIT they embraced. <P><P> In this inspirational fable, Bob Flanagan represents the voice of old school grit. A legendary college basketball coach who thinks like John Wooden and talks like Mike Ditka, Flanagan is entering the final days of his coaching career. While his team tries to advance through the NCAA postseason tournament, Flanagan uses his last days as a coach to write his grandchildren letters revealing the rules for a successful and happy life. The rules of grit. <P><P> Though Coach Flanagan's letters are intended for his grandchildren, they might as well be for America in general. This is a man who lives by the old school code of faith, family, courage, and character; and he believes too many people have gone soft these days. They give up on their dreams too easily. They whine, complain, and pass the blame. They spend all their time and energy trying to avoid challenges instead of bucking up and powering through them. <P><P> Flanagan's letters are a rallying cry for toughening up and building grit. His fifteen rules provide a clear path to success in any endeavor.

Conversaciones con María: Mensajes de amor, sanación, esperanza y unidad para todos (Atria Espanol)
by Anna RaimondiEsta obra nos revela una moderna María que el mundo necesita conocer.A la edad de cinco años, en el patio de su casa en la ciudad de Long Island, Anna Raimondi tuvo una profunda experiencia. Fiel a su carácter de niña contemplativa, se escondió en una pequeña gruta que una vez había contenido una estatua de la Virgen María. En medio de esa paz oyó una voz, gentil y fuerte a la vez, que le dijo: “Anna, estoy a tu disposición siempre. Acude siempre a mí”. Ese fue el principio de la primera conversación entre ellas. Y aunque tuvieron muchas otras después, las incluidas en este libro tuvieron lugar el año pasado y transmiten el enfático mensaje de María y su deseo de que todo el mundo lo escuche. A través de Anna, María elabora y nos enseña importantes verdades acerca de: El alma, su naturaleza inmortal y las lecciones que cada alma debe de aprender. La oración, su poder, la forma correcta de orar, y la diferencia entre entregarse a Dios y no asumir responsabilidad por las acciones propias. Lo que ocurre cuando morimos, con revelaciones sobre las realidades del reino celestial, el infierno, el purgatorio y la reencarnación. María también nos ofrece perspicaces respuestas a preguntas sobre el terrorismo, la crisis global de refugiados, el racismo, la desigualdad entre los géneros, la igualdad matrimonial, y más. Sus conversaciones con Anna son esclarecedoras y provocativas, y le presenta a los lectores un camino de regreso a los sencillos mensajes de amor, perdón y paz que Dios nos dio.
Be a Project Motivator: Unlock the Secrets of Strengths-Based Project Management
by Ruth Pearce“This book will soon become a widely accepted standard on how to deliver a successful project on time and on budget in any industry.” —John Garahan, Vice President, Global Delivery, Broadridge Financial Solutions Successful project managers must engage and motivate others to achieve complex goals. Ruth Pearce shows how behavior, language, and attitudes affect engagement and how leveraging character strengths can help improve relationships, increase innovation, and build higher-functioning teams. This focus on character strengths—such as bravery, curiosity, fairness, gratitude, and humor—can help project managers recognize and cultivate the things that are best in themselves and others. Many project managers do not have the authority to direct the activities of people on their teams—they can only influence them. The most influential people succeed by focusing less on themselves and their message and more on others. They pay attention, they are brave, they are vulnerable, they are curious, and they look for and acknowledge the things that are important about and to the other person. And they model the behavior that they want to see. This book tells you how.Pearce provides tools and frameworks for building a culture of appreciation, understanding character strengths, mapping leadership qualities, understanding learning styles, identifying team roles, and executing plans. She also explores the factors that contribute to conflict and tensions, as well as strategies for getting through difficult times. We see these tools and techniques in action through “Maggie,” a project manager who is struggling to motivate her team. Each chapter concludes with reflective questions to make the ideas stick and with key strategies for success.

by The Dalai LamaIn the days of extremism and severely divisive belief systems, learning patience and compassion practices (from the modern master of patience and compassion) is more valuable than ever.All of the world’s major religions emphasize the importance of love, compassion, and tolerance. This is particularly true in the Buddhist traditions, which unanimously state that compassion and love are the foundation of all paths of practice. To cultivate the potential for compassion and love inherent within us, it is crucial to counteract their opposing forces of anger and hatred. In Perfecting Patience, the Dalai Lama shows how, through the practice of patience and tolerance, we can overcome the obstacles of anger and hatred. He bases his discussion on A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, the classic work on the activities of bodhisattvas—those who aspire to attain full enlightenment in order to benefit all beings.

There Are No Goodbyes: Guidance and Comfort From Those Who Have Passed
by Elizabeth RobinsonFrom a young age, trained counsellor, Elizabeth Robinson, was aware of being able to sense and know beyond the five senses. Her ability to see ‘beyond the veil’ into the spiritual realm has allowed her to effectively illuminate and articulate what holds people back from expressing their true potential.We live in a society that teaches us that contact with those who have passed does not exist; we have a medical model that, for the most part, labels these as aberrant experiences, is finite and, frequently, judgmental. In her work, Elizabeth combines conventional wisdom with knowledge gleaned from beyond the physical.In this deeply moving account, Elizabeth shares her extraordinary path to self-awareness. Tracing her journey from practicing privately and in hospitals in Australia, to living and working in the U.S., and returning to Sydney, she outlines experiences with clients and colleagues who have passed, and the insight and comfort that those experiences provide to those still living.There Are No Goodbyes firmly makes the case that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. The phenomenal accounts in this book help us realize that there is no need to fear death, as we are all immortal and innately spiritual beings, connected eternally by the power of unconditional love!
