Hackerare l'Aldilà: Consigli Pratici dal Flipside
by Richard Martini“Tutti coloro che sono esistiti, da sempre, continuano a esistere nel Flipside ed è possibile porre loro domande dirette.” Questa è la strabiliante premessa di “Hackerare l’Aldilà”; nel libro si spiega come sia possibile ottenere “nuove informazioni” da persone non più presenti sul pianeta. Queste “interviste dall’aldilà” sono state condotte, con l’aiuto di vari medium, sia con persone sotto ipnosi profonda sia con persone pienamente coscienti, e tuttavia in grado di accedere e di ricordare dettagli di vite precedenti. Queste testimonianze offrono consigli pratici (“dritte dall’aldilà”) su come navigare tra le nostre vite e migliorare il nostro pianeta. Richard Martini, autore dei best-seller (entrambi al primo posto su Amazon Kindle) “Flipside: Guida Turistica per Navigare nell’Aldilà” (è anche un film) e “L’Aldilà è Meraviglioso” (Vol. 1 & 2), nonché ospite frequente del talk-show radiofonico statunitense “Coast to Coast”, i cui argomenti principali sono il paranormale e le teorie della cospirazione, “intervista” una varietà di persone che non sono più sul pianeta. Interviste con qualcuno che sostiene di essere Edgar Cayce, il “profeta dormiente”, tre medium differenti che sostengono di riuscire a parlare con Amelia Earhart, “conversazioni” con Robin Williams, con l’artista conosciuto come Prince e con persone che sostengono di avere conosciuto Colui che era definito in tutto il mondo “l’Alfa e l’Omega.” Martini esamina queste testimonianze con mente aperta e invita il lettore a fare altrettanto. Citazioni di persone che sono state intervistate: “Questo libro metterà in discussione i dubbi e le credenze delle persone. È una traduzione dell’etereo.” Edgar Cayce tramite la medium Jennifer Shaffer. (JenniferShaffer.com) “Buona fortuna a te, per aver fatto l’incredibile affermazione che esiste un aldilà.” Howard Schultz, un amico scomparso di r
Hacking Happiness
by John HavensIn Hacking Happiness, futurist and contributing Mashable writer John C. Havens introduces you to your "quantified self"--your digital identity represented by gigabytes of data produced from tracking your activities on your smartphone and computer. Harvested by megacorporations such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon, Havens argues that companies gather this data because of its immense economic value, encouraging a culture of "sharing" as they hoard the information based on our lives for private monetary gain. But there's an alternative to this digital dystopia. Emerging technologies will help us reclaim this valuable data for ourselves, so we can directly profit from the insights linked to our quantified selves. At the same time, sensors in smartphones and wearable devices will help us track our emotions to improve our well-being based on the science of positive psychology. Havens proposes that these trends will lead to new economic policies that redefine the meaning of "wealth," allowing governments to create policy focused on purpose rather than productivity. An issues book highlighting the benefits of an examined life in the digital world, this timely work takes the trepidation out of the technological renaissance and illustrates how the fruits of the Information Age can improve our lives for a happier humanity.

Hagakure. El camino del samurái
by Yamamoto TsunetomoUn clásico de la cultura japonesa que ayuda a la introspección y la concentración en nuestro mundo cada vez más frenético. Considerado como una de las fuentes de inspiración de Fernando Alonso, el piloto lo cita frecuentemente en sus intervenciones públicas y redes sociales. «Cuando las cosas se hacen despacio,salen mal siete veces de cada diez.El guerrero hace las cosas deprisa.» Hagakure significa «a la sombra de las hojas» y es una obra literaria japonesa escrita por Yamamoto Tsunetomo en el siglo XVIII. Su intención era transmitir a las generaciones venideras las reglas del bushido, es decir, el código guerrero de los samuráis. Se trata de un breviario, un compendio de anécdotas y reflexiones de temática variada y sin un orden preestablecido, hecho con la intención de transmitir introspección y conocimiento filosófico al tiempo que promueve el espíritu del bushido. El texto solo iba dirigido a los guerreros y se mantuvo en secreto durante muchos años. Posteriormente llegó a convertirse en un clásico de la cultura japonesa. Con una esencia que se contrapone al materialismo imperante en nuestra sociedad, este texto ha alcanzado gran notoriedad en nuestros días y ha llegado a convertirse en libro de cabecera de personajes tan admirados como Fernando Alonso, que ha llegado a tatuarse un samurái en su espalda. «¿Yo, en una palabra?», respondía recientemente en una entrevista: «Guerrero. [El samurái] es una manera de recordarme quién soy, de dónde vengo y la fuerza que tengo que tener cada día.» Fernando Alonso ha dicho...«Cierro el libro, respiro 7 veces y me voy a dormir.»
Hágalo con miedo: Ármese de valor frente al temor
by Joyce MeyerRecognize, confront, and conquer the fears holding you back from living boldly and freely with renowned Bible teacher and New York Times bestselling author, Joyce Meyer.Fear is the devil's favorite tool in the toolbox of schemes he uses to destroy God's good plan for you. He uses it to hold you back and prevent progress in your relationships, career, and more.In Do It Afraid, Joyce Meyer explains that fear is everywhere and affects everyone. It rules many people, but it doesn't have to rule you any longer. She will teach you how to:Understand fear and recognize how it works in your life.Confront those fears that are holding you back.Change your mindset for lasting freedom from some of the most common fears people face.Remember, courage isn't the absence of fear; it is learning how to move forward in the presence of fear. Courageous people do what they believe in their hearts they should do, no matter how they feel or what doubts fill their minds. When you take ownership of your problems and open your heart to God, He will help bring light into darkness so that you can be free.
Hagitude: Reimagining the Second Half of Life
by Sharon BlackieRADICALLY REIMAGINE THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE “There can be a certain perverse pleasure, as well as a sense of rightness and beauty, in insisting on flowering just when the world expects you to become quiet and diminish.” — from the book For any woman over fifty who has ever asked “What now? Who do I want to be?” comes a life-changing book showing how your next phase of life may be your most dynamic yet. As mythologist and psychologist Sharon Blackie describes it, midlife is the threshold to decades of opportunity and profound transformation, a time to learn, flourish, and claim the desires and identities that are often limited during earlier life stages. This is a time for gaining new perspectives, challenging and evolving belief systems, exploring callings, uncovering meaning, and ultimately finding healing for accumulated wounds. Western folklore and mythology are rife with brilliantly creative, fulfilled, feisty, and furious role models for aging women, despite our culture’s focus on youthfulness. Blackie explores these archetypes in Hagitude, presenting them in a way sure to appeal to contemporary women. Drawing inspiration from these examples as well as modern mentors, you can reclaim midlife as a liberating, alchemical moment rich with possibility and your elder years as a path to feminine power.
Hai vissuto? Hai amato? Ha avuto importanza?
by Bernard LevineOgni mattina, Dio manda due angeli dal cielo per venire a trovarci. C'è una storia che dice che ogni mattina, Dio manda due angeli dal cielo per venire a trovarci. Chi sono questi angeli? Incontriamoli ... Il primo angelo si chiama "Chiedi" ... e il secondo angelo si chiama "Preghiera". Entrambi gli angeli portano dei cestini. Quando guardiamo cosa c'è nel cestino del primo angelo, troviamo che il cestino è pieno, fino in cima, traboccante delle nostre richieste di preghiera a Dio, come "dammi una grande casa, voglio una macchina nuova, trovami un lavoro migliore e voglio un sacco di soldi". Ora, quando guardiamo per vedere cosa c'è all'interno del cestino del secondo angelo, troviamo che è vuoto ... dicono, che solo a volte, proprio in fondo al cestino ci sono una o due parole di lode. Pensate a Dio ... ogni giorno, Dio ha molte e molte delle nostre richieste di soddisfare sempre di più le nostre "richieste" e "desideri". Saremo mai soddisfatti e grati per ciò che già abbiamo? Ditemi, abbiamo pregato tutto questo tempo supplicando Dio di soddisfarci e, tuttavia, non abbiamo quasi mai tempo per ringraziare Dio che siamo vivi, e lodarLo per ogni battito di cuore ed ogni respiro. Non sarebbe meraviglioso se volessimo cercare, e dirigere le nostre preghiere per dare lode e gloria al '"Donatore" prima di concentrare così tanto del nostro tempo di preghiera sulla ricerca dei "Doni" e di ciò che possiamo ottenere da Dio. Ogni giorno facciamo di Dio il nostro piacere ... perché Dio è tutto ciò di cui abbiamo bisogno!

Hairlooms: The Untangled Truth About Loving Your Natural Hair and Beauty
by Michele Tapp RosemanWords have power, and those that Black women often use to describe their hair are derogatory: nappy, steel wool, out of control. They often personally inherit these terms and pass them along without even realizing the crushing effects these words have on their feelings about the person they see in the mirror. While many books on the market address the practical ways of styling Afro-textured hair naturally, Hairlooms asks: Why is it so difficult for Black women to embrace their hair? and How can Black women overcome the multi-layered challenge of embracing their natural hair and beauty? Author Michele Tapp Roseman helps readers answer these questions for themselves, to write a new story that they can pass along. A recent Huffington Post article "Natural Hair Becoming Even More Popular Among Black Women" revealed a marked increase in the number of Black women who do not chemically treat their hair, yet also struggle to accept their natural hair and beauty. Through personal, revealing stories Hairlooms examines the issues behind these struggles. Guided exercises throughout help readers "comb through" their self-perceptions and form a plan for self-acceptance and personal empowerment. Hairlooms includes 32 compelling personal stories about those who have embraced their God-given hair and beauty, including: Major General Marcia Anderson—Senior advisor to the Chief on policies and programs for the U.S. Army Reserve, and the first woman to earn the distinction of a two-star general in the U.S. Army Reserve. The late Dr. Maya Angelou—World-renowned poet and author. The recipient of 30 honorary degrees and former Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University. Lisa Price—Founder of Carol's Daughter hair and beauty brand, a favorite of celebrities, and now sold in stores from coast-to-coast. Now owned by L'Oréal, Price is still at the helm of this growing business. Jane Carter—A professional hair stylist/colorist and salon owner, she founded the Jane Carter Solution after an allergic reaction caused by prolonged exposure to chemicals in traditional hair care products. Today, Jane Carter Solution sells millions of dollars' worth of products in Whole Foods Market, Sally Beauty Supply, Walmart, Target, CVS, and Walgreens stores. A'Lelia Bundles—Great-great granddaughter of the first Black female millionaire and hair-care creator, Madam C. J. Walker. She has teamed with Sephora and Sundial Brands to launch the Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture product line. A'Lelia is also a seasoned journalist, public speaker, and author of the New York Times bestseller, On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker. Kim Coles—Hollywood actress, comedian, and featured guest on Dr. Drew's Lifechangers "Good Hair Debate" episode.

Half Broke: A Memoir
by Ginger GaffneyA top-ranked horse trainer’s gorgeous, life-affirming memoir that offers profound insight into the fascinating ways both horses and humans seek relationships to survive. At the start of this remarkable story of recovery, healing, and redemption, Ginger Gaffney answers a call to help retrain the troubled horses at an alternative prison ranch in New Mexico, a facility run entirely by the prisoners. The horses are scavenging through the dumpsters, kicking and running down the residents when they bring the trash out after meals. One horse is severely injured. The horses and residents arrive at the ranch broken in one way or many: the horses are defensive and terrified, while the residents, some battling drug and alcohol addictions, are emotionally and physically shattered. With deep insight into how animals and humans communicate through posture, body language, and honesty of spirit, Gaffney walks us through her struggle to train the untrainable. Gaffney peels away the layers of her own story—a solitary childhood, painful introversion, and a transformative connection with her first horse, a filly named Belle—and she, too, learns to trust people as much as she trusts horses. As her year-long odyssey builds toward a dramatic conclusion, the group experiences triumphs and failures, brave recoveries and relapses, as well as betrayals and moving stories of trust and belonging. Resonant, smart, and beautifully written, Half Broke tears at the heart of what it takes to find wholeness after years of trauma and addiction and offers profound insight on how working with animals can satisfy our universal need for connection.
The Half Known Life: In Search of Paradise
by Pico IyerFrom &“one of the most soulful and perceptive writers of our time&” (Brain Pickings): a journey through competing ideas of paradise to see how we can live more peacefully in an ever more divided and distracted world. &“Nothing less than a guided tour of the human soul…A masterpiece.&” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert &“Immersive and profound…. Iyer matches penetrating insights with some of the most transportive prose around. This further burnishes Iyer&’s reputation as one of the best.&” — starred Publishers WeeklyParadise: that elusive place where the anxieties, struggles, and burdens of life fall away. Most of us dream of it, but each of us has very different ideas about where it is to be found. For some it can be enjoyed only after death; for others, it&’s in our midst—or just across the ocean—if only we can find eyes to see it. Traveling from Iran to North Korea, from the Dalai Lama&’s Himalayas to the ghostly temples of Japan, Pico Iyer brings together a lifetime of explorations to upend our ideas of utopia and ask how we might find peace in the midst of difficulty and suffering. Does religion lead us back to Eden or only into constant contention? Why do so many seeming paradises turn into warzones? And does paradise exist only in the afterworld – or can it be found in the here and now? For almost fifty years Iyer has been roaming the world, mixing a global soul&’s delight in observing cultures with a pilgrim&’s readiness to be transformed. In this culminating work, he brings together the outer world and the inner to offer us a surprising, original, often beautiful exploration of how we might come upon paradise in the midst of our very real lives.
The Half of It: A Memoir
by Madison BeerA memoir from singer-songwriter Madison Beer, chronicling the past decade of her life spent in the spotlight—the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens that you won’t see on social media.Discovered at twelve years old, Madison Beer was one of the first artists to have her entire life documented online. Over the past decade, she has navigated the spotlight as a child, through her teenage years, and now as a young woman in her twenties.In The Half of It, Madison pulls back the curtain to show the behind-the-scenes of her journey, from reckoning with mass hate online and the time her private pictures were leaked, to battling suicidal thoughts while making her highly acclaimed debut album, Life Support, and her recovery since then. This memoir is an honest and unflinching account of self-love, mental health, and advocacy from one of the fastest-rising musical voices and most influential social media presences of her generation. It hammers home the point, more striking and urgent than ever, that no matter how close the internet may make us feel to people, we truly don’t know the half of it.
Half-truths And Brazen Lies
by Kira Vermond Clayton Hanmer<P>Do you believe in telling the truth? Sure you do. But even that's a lie -- because we all lie. Whether to protect a friend, to make someone feel better, or to avoid telling even bigger lies later, lying is actually central to human nature.

What types of lies are there? What are the consequences of lying? What methods are used to detect lies? And when is it okay or even good to lie? <P>From forgeries and hoaxes to plagiarism and placebos, Half-Truths and Brazen Lies offers historical anecdotes, scientific studies, and sociocultural analyses to help unpack the complex world of untruths. Told in a witty, conversational tone with an index and full-color illustrations, the book takes a thorough, nuanced approach to a fascinating aspect of human behavior.
Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy
by Anne Lamott<P>From the bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow and Bird by Bird comes a powerful exploration of mercy, its limitless (if sometimes hidden) presence, why we ignore it, and how we can embrace it. "Mercy is radical kindness," Anne Lamott writes in her enthralling and heartening book, Hallelujah Anyway. <P> It's the permission you give others—and yourself—to forgive a debt, to absolve the unabsolvable, to let go of the judgment and pain that make life so difficult. In Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy Lamott ventures to explore where to find meaning in life. We should begin, she suggests, by "facing a great big mess, especially the great big mess of ourselves." It's up to each of us to recognize the presence and importance of mercy everywhere—"within us and outside us, all around us"—and to use it to forge a deeper understanding of ourselves and more honest connections with each other. <P>While that can be difficult to do, Lamott argues that it's crucial, as "kindness towards others, beginning with myself, buys us a shot at a warm and generous heart, the greatest prize of all." Full of Lamott’s trademark honesty, humor and forthrightness, Hallelujah Anyway is profound and caring, funny and wise—a hopeful book of hands-on spirituality. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>
