The Holy Trinity and the Law of Three: Discovering the Radical Truth at the Heart of Christianity
by Cynthia BourgeaultFather, Son, and Holy Spirit. In this formula that Christians recite as though on autopilot lie the secrets for healing our world, rekindling our visionary imagination, and manifesting the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. It's an astonishing claim, but one that is supported by Cynthia Bourgeault's exploration of Trinitarian theology--and by her bold work in further articulating the deep truth it contains. She looks to the ancient concept in light of the ideas of G. I. Gurdjieff and Jacob Boehme to reveal the Trinity as the "hidden driveshaft" within Christianity: the compassionate expression of the Uncreated Reality in creation.

In order to escape a life of violence and debauchery, they have settled secretly on the hotel's forest estate in their old campervan.

Leggera come una Piuma: Light as a Feather
by Magali Dubreuil BourguetA story rich with poetry, emotion and humour, approaching the topic of Alzheimer's disease in a kind and quirky way. The meeting between two extraordinary women, separated by three generations, unites them into one, single, universal, artistic entity. This personal adventure, rich in poetry and emotion, makes us laugh and makes us cry. Alice and Piuma waltz through life to the melody of the passage of time. "She can play the piano at home but Alice wants to be listened to. She wants to create emotion and share it with people, make them feel it too. In their apartment, the rooms are too small, the walls are too close together so the notes cannot soar. They hit the walls and are suffocated. Notes need space to fly, spread out, escape and speak. They are chatty: they have lots of things to say or to share, for there must be at least two of them."

Alice e Piuma fanno volteggiare la vita sulla melodia del tempo che passa… “(…) A casa può suonare, ma Alice vuole essere ascoltata, vuole seminare, creare emozione, condividere, vibrare all’unisono con il resto del mondo. Nel loro appartamento, le stanze sono troppo piccole, i muri troppo stretti, le note non hanno spazio per spiccare il volo, urtano contro i muri e muoiono soffocate. Le note hanno bisogno di spazio per volare, trasmettere, diffondere, evadere e parlare. Sono loquaci, hanno un mucchio di cose dire; ora, per condividere, si deve essere almeno in due (…)”.

En su departamento, las habitaciones son demasiado pequeñas, las paredes demasiado estrechas, las notas no tienen espacio para volar, golpean contra las paredes y mueren amortiguadas. Las notas necesitan espacio para volar, difundirse, difunden, escapan y hablan. Son parlanchinas, tienen montones de cosas que decir, y para intercambiar se necesitan por lo menos dos (...)".

Rise
by Mark Bouris'Anyone can better themselves, better their life, better their situation. You've got to think big. People have lost faith in the system, it's time to empower yourself.'At a time of ultimate global disruption, many people are having to re-set their goals and take a new path. Mark Bouris is a self-made man who knows what that feels like. He sees this as an opportunity to change what isn't working.The founder of two hugely successful financial institutions, he's watched Australia's enormous potential be squandered as entrepreneurship has been ignored, ingenuity has been punished and our reputation for boxing above our weight as a nation has been torn down. It's pissed him off. And now, more than ever, he knows we all have to be our best self and not throw in the towel and think it is all too hard. Growing up in the working-class suburb of Punchbowl, in western Sydney, there were no silver spoons in the Bouris house. No easy rides. He learned quickly that he had to be his own best asset. To be resilient, focused and determined. To have energy, drive and a willingness to work his arse off. All of that was more valuable than any amount of money. It's what separated Mark from the pack, and what will help you stand out as well. You might be sitting there thinking, I can't do that, I can't do what he does, I can't be a Mark Bouris, it's all too difficult. But the fact is ... you can. Anyone can. And in Rise he's going to show you how.

Buy the Avocado Toast: How to Crush Student Debt, Make More Money, and Live Your Best Life
by Stephanie BousleyWhat if the solution to student debt was reinvesting in yourself? Are you a smart, hard-working person who always seems to struggle financially? Do you ever second-guess decisions to pursue higher education because of your student loans? Has extreme budgeting eliminated joy and comfort from life, yet you&’re still several years away from being debt-free? Conventional wisdom tells us the formula for success is simple: go to school, get a job, work hard, repeat as needed until you retire. It tells us that debt is the result of poor choices and irresponsible spending. Unfortunately, such advice fails to take into account the recent (and not-so-recent) graduates for whom predatory student lending rates have set them back tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars before they even enter the job market. In Buy the Avocado Toast, Stephanie Bousley shares lessons learned through years of working hard and perpetually undervaluing herself while coming to terms with owing almost $300,000 in student debt. Through a holistic approach to both net worth and self-worth, Bousley offers readers hope for their own financial situations by providing step-by-step instructions on reducing debt, living better, and rooting out the self-defeating beliefs that keep us broke.
