Jeu: Une pièce par Jed McKenna
by Jed Mckenna Laura DinrathsC’est ce que c’est, disent-ils, mais est-ce le cas ? Jed McKenna a toujours pris soin de détruire les questions plutôt que d’y répondre, et ce n’est pas surprenant que Jeu soit plus une question qu’une réponse. En fait, la pièce pourrait être vue comme une progression suivant les étapes de recherche personnelle, chacun des sept actes nous emmenant plus profondément dans ce voyage intérieur, les premiers actes posant les questions, et les derniers examinant ceux qui se les posent ; nous montrant, nous promettant, nous avertissant où cette recherche honnête et implacable nous conduit vraiment. Mais qui, demande Jed, veut réellement suivre la route où elle mène réellement ? Lors de ce voyage, qui vous êtes change à chaque pas, et ce qui compte, c’est faire le pas suivant. Au final, Jeu est ce que c’est. Mais est-ce le cas ? Peut-être est-ce un voyage d’étude de la vie, ou peut-être est-ce juste une petite pièce ludique. Au final, évidemment, Jeu, comme la vie, comme tout, est ce que vous en faites.

Jivamukti Yoga: Practices for Liberating Body and Soul
by David Life Sharon GannonThe long-awaited, complete guide to the popular, vigorous American method of yoga that is deeply rooted in ancient wisdom and scriptures. "In this day and age of health and fitness trends, it is assuring to know that Sharon and David encourage their students to draw inspiration from the classical texts of Yoga and timeless scriptural sources. What I appreciate so much about David and Sharon is how they help their Yoga students to understand and appreciate the wisdom of all the great saints and jivamuktas who have contributed to raising consciousness. Ultimately, it is Self-Realization, that is the true goal of Yoga."-SRI SWAMI SATCHIDANANDA. Creators of the extremely popular Jivamukti Yoga method and cofounders of the New York City studios where it is taught, Sharon Gannon and David Life present their unique style of yoga for the first time in book form. As they explain their intensely physical and spiritual system of flowing postures, they provide inspiring expert instruction to guide you in your practice.Unlike many books about yoga, Jivamukti Yoga focuses not only on the physical postures but also on how they evolved-the origins of the practices in yoga's ancient sacred texts and five-thousand-year-old traditions--the psychotherapeutic benefits that accrue with a steady practice, and the spiritual power that is set free when energy flows throughout the mind and body. Jivamukti Yoga, which means "soul liberation," guides your body and soul into spiritual freedom, physical strength, peace of mind, better health, and Self-realization--the ultimate goal of any practice. Gannon and Life help you understand each of the practices that comprise the yoga path to enlightenment: AHIMSA--The Way of Compassion: choosing nonviolence, respecting all life, practicing vegetarianism, living free of prejudice. ASANA--The Way of Connection to the Earth: postures and sequences, breathing, transforming energy, understanding the bandhas. KARMA--The Way of Action: creating good karma, giving thanks. NADAM--The Way of Sacred Music: appreciating the sacred sounds of yoga. MEDITATION--The Way of the Witness: how to sit still and move inward. BHAKTI--The Way of Devotion to God: living with love, grace, and peace. Whatever yoga you practice, Jivamukti Yoga will help you to strengthen and deepen that practice and lead you onto a path of spiritual clarity and self-discovery. "If there is only one book you read about the practice of Yoga, this should be the one. Sharon and David are deeply dedicated students and teachers of Yoga who have the rare capacity to translate their profound understanding to the reader. This book is for anyone who wishes to find transformation through Yoga. I'm grateful for their work and teaching."--STEPHAN RECHTSCHAFFEN, MD Co-founder & CEO, Omega Institute.

Job Hunting for Dummies (2nd edition)
by Max MessmerMax Messmer's mother once told him to start pulling his own weight and get a job. So at age 11, he began making ladies' hand-crafted bracelets. He sold scores of them to her friends, neighbors, students, and even teachers. He enjoyed selling them so much it created a stir at school and took him away from his studies. His mom then put him out of business, forcing him back to basic homework. He learned something, though. Nothing happens until you make a sale. The job hunting process is no exception. No one will know your capabilities until you become an expert at selling them. (And if you saw these bracelets today, you'd know what a sales job it was, he says.) Inability to sell one's skills is one of the most frequent failings of job candidates, according to Messmer. Today, Max Messmer is chairman and CEO of Robert Half International Inc. (RHI), the world's largest specialized staffing firm, and one of the foremost experts on job searching and career management. If you've lost your job, remember that you are not alone. Most people have been let go more than once in their career. It no longer carries the stigma it once did, especially with the series of mergers and downsizings that have transformed today's workplace. In the grand scheme of things, this time will be relatively short. Best of luck in your search! - Max Messmer P. S. As for the reference to Dummies, I think we all know that the only dumb question is the one that's never asked. So you deserve praise for taking charge of your career and seeking answers!

John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age (Great Lakes Books Series)
by Brian C. WilsonJohn E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age follows the spiritual sojourn of John E. Fetzer, a Michigan business tycoon. Born in 1901 and living most of his life in Kalamazoo, Fetzer parlayed his first radio station into extensive holdings in broadcasting and other enterprises, leading to his sole ownership of the Detroit Tigers in 1961. By the time he died in 1991, Fetzer had been listed in Forbes magazine as one of the four hundred wealthiest people in America. And yet, business success was never enough for Fetzer—his deep spiritual yearnings led him from the Christianity of his youth to a restless exploration of metaphysical religions and movements ranging from Spiritualism, Theosophy, Freemasonry, UFOology, and parapsychology, all the way to the New Age as it blossomed in the 1980s. Author Brian C. Wilson demonstrates how Fetzer’s quest mirrored those of thousands of Americans who sought new ways of thinking and being in the ever-changing spiritual movements of the twentieth century. Over his lifetime, Fetzer's worldview continuously evolved, combining and recombining elements from dozens of traditions in a process he called "freedom of the spirit." Unlike most others who engaged in a similar process, Fetzer’s synthesis can be documented step by step using extensive archival materials, providing readers with a remarkably rich and detailed roadmap through metaphysical America. The book also documents how Fetzer’s wealth allowed him to institutionalize his spiritual vision into a thriving foundation—the Fetzer Institute—which was designed to carry his insights into the future in hopes that it would help catalyze a global spiritual transformation. John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age offers a window into the rich and complex history of metaphysical religions in the Midwest and the United States at large. It will be read with interest by those wishing to learn more about this enigmatic Michigan figure, as well as those looking for an engaging introduction into America’s rapidly shifting spiritual landscape.

John Wesley’s Awakening
by James Richard JoyJohn Wesley (1703-1791) was an English cleric, theologian and evangelist who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. The societies he founded became the dominant form of the independent Methodist movement that continues to this day.“The old-time, narrow, sectarian view of Wesley as the Founder of Methodism, and therefore the patron-saint and peculiar property of one denomination, dispraised and undervalued by all others, has largely given way to the world-view which ranks him with the major prophets, apostles, and saints of all time. His tablet is in Westminster Abbey, with the memorials of monarchs, statesmen, empire-builders, philanthropists, and men of letters. The scholars of two continents have begun to recognize him as belonging in the grand succession of Saint Paul, Saint Augustine, Martin Luther, and John Wesley—the great awakeners of the human soul—themselves awakened by the touch of God.“This book owes its existence to a call for something which should present in brief compass and in non-theological language the personality and work of John Wesley, with special reference to the spiritual experience at Aldersgate, which marked the turning-point in his career.”
Johnny Football: Johnny Manziel's Road from the Texas Hill Country to the Top of College Football
by Josh KatzowitzAfter an eye-opening first season at Texas A&M, the electrifying young quarterback affectionately known as "Johnny Football" became the first freshman ever to take home the Heisman Trophy in its 78-year history. Here, in perhaps the most revealing account to date, is the story behind the mystique: how young phenom Johnny Manziel escaped from relative obscurity and his dubious family name to—after a storybook, record-breaking season—take home college football's ultimate honor. "I'm a small-town kid," Manziel said before winning the Heisman. "I still look at myself that way. I don't see myself as Johnny Football. I see myself as Johnathan Manziel."
