Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy
by Frank SchaefferA post-coronavirus evolution-based how-to for putting living ahead of work.Bestselling author Frank Schaeffer offers a passionate political, social, and lifestyle &“blueprint&” for changes millions of us know are needed to rebalance our work lives with thriving relationships: Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy. Even before everything was disrupted by COVID-19 (not to mention by Trump), millions of Americans were already questioning capitalism&’s &“values.&” We were already challenging the idea that your job defines you. We already knew something was wrong. Loneliness, frustration, and alienation were already on the rise. Even the most successful of us felt too busy, too preoccupied, and too distracted to enjoy what we intuitively know are life&’s greatest rewards: vibrant relationships, family life, connection to others, involvement in our community, and the thrilling experience of love. Fall in Love . . . builds a well-researched and entertaining bridge to living happier lives and to a better future. It shows us that based on a better understanding of our evolutionary selves, we can thrive in family life and in our work life, too. But to do both joyfully—and at the same time—depends on rediscovering the priority of relationships, connections, community, and love.

Falling Upward, Revised and Updated: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
by Richard RohrAn update to the bestselling Falling Upward from Franciscan Father Richard Rohr In the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Richard Rohr seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life. In this book, Rohr teaches us that we can’t understand the meaning of "up" until we have fallen "down." More importantly, Rohr describes what "up" can look like in the second half of life. Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found "when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity" through a shift from our "outer task" to the "inner task." What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward—and is not necessarily connected with aging. This new edition focuses on practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge. Falling Upward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation. Gain a spiritual perspective on the "the common sequencing, staging, and direction of life's arc" and learn how to bring forth your gifts in the second half of life Grapple with difficult feelings, fears, and emotions associated with "great love and great suffering" Learn how we "grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right" Understand why so many of us resist falling into the second half of life Readers of Rohrs previous works and those new to the remarkable teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort and inspiration in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.
Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
by Richard RohrIn the first half of life, we establish our identity--climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and begin to embark on a further journey, one that involves challenges, mistakes, loss of control, broader horizons, and necessary suffering that shocks us out of our prior comfort zone, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. In Falling Upward, Father Richard Rohr offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how our failings can be the foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth.

Fama, Fortuna y Ambición: ¿Cuál es el verdadero significado del éxito? (Life Essentials #Volumen)
by OshoFama, Fortuna y ambición es una obra en la que Osho medita, entre otros temas, sobre el dinero y el poder, dejando claro que no son negativos mientras esta abundancia material no sustituya a la espiritual o la haga a un lado, y que no es necesario desear con intensidad para obtener las cosas materiales o espirituales, pues se presentarán precisamente cuando menos las estemos esperando y después del esfuerzo personal necesario para lograrlo. La sociedad engendra la idea de la ambición, de ser poderoso, de ser rico. Es una sociedad completamente equivocada. Produce personas insanas, psicológicamente enfermas. Y cuando han alcanzado la meta que la sociedad y el sistema educativo les ha impuesto, se encuentran en un punto muerto. La carretera se acaba; más allá no hay nada. Así, o se convierten en falsas personas religiosas o saltan a la locura o al suicidio y se destruyen.

Familia adicta: Un padre y un hijo cuentan cómo es salir del infierno
by Mauro FedericoEsta es la historia de una adicción que pedía a gritos ser escuchada pero que nadie oyó. En estas páginas honestas y descarnadas, un padre narra cómo fue el proceso para dejar atrás la culpa y hacerse responsable; y el hijo, adicto, cómo fue el suyo desde que tocó fondo hasta que hizo su última rehabilitación. Este es un libro escrito a cuatro manos por un padre y un hijo. La historia es la misma, contada desde el lugar protagónico de ambos. Juntos cuentan cómo se reencontraron y aprendieron a vincularse. Cómo, a cuatro manos también, y con la inestimable ayuda de amigos y profesionales, reunieron los pedazos de una familia rota y volvieron a mirarse a los ojos con afecto y compasión. Mauro Federico es periodista de radio y televisión, y sus investigaciones sobre el narcotráfico fueron tema destacado en los medios. Mientras él se adentraba en ese mundo feroz y oscuro en busca de información, su hijo Ariel también lo hacía, pero desde el lado del dolor y la desprotección. Estas son páginas imprescindibles para comprender que no se sale solo de la dependencia de las drogas, y que si no hay familia dispuesta a superarlo, no hay adicto que se pueda recuperar.
