Aptavani-14 Part-1
by Dada BhagwanThe book presented here reveals the properties of the Self and identifies the problems because of which we are unable to realize the Self. The book is divided into two subparts: Part 1 This part discusses which are the six eternal elements of the universe, the cause of rise of visheshbhav (“I”) and egoism. The soul remains in its original form but a separate identity (“I”) gets evolved due to pressure of scientific circumstantial evidences and self ignorance. “I“ is the first level of separate identity and “ego” is the second level. Wrong beliefs such as “I am Chandu (reader should use his own name)”, “I am the doer” arise and consequently anger, pride, lust and greed develops out of such wrong beliefs. ”I am Chandu” this belief is the cause of all sorrow .Once this belief goes away there is no sorrow.
Aptavani-14 Part-2
by Dada BhagwanThis Aptavani describes the properties and nature of the Soul as experienced by Param Pujya Dadashri. How He was able to use that quality Himself theoretically as well as practically, He experienced it and gave us a wonderful insight into using it and entering the Soul. And in the chapter of Siddha Stuti, we get things like how to use that virtue to keep equanimity in worldly situations and what is the reality against the worldly beliefs? Also, how can these qualities be used in different states of beliefs? How does an enlightened person experience such qualities realistically? And beyond that, how would the Tirthankaras be experiencing in the highest state? All these things said by Param Pujya Dadashri are included here.

Aptvani-9
by Dada BhagwanDer Weg zur Befreiung (Moksha-Marg) ist der Weg zur Freiheit; es ist der Weg, auf dem wir Freiheit von allen weltlichen Bindungen erlangen. Aber was hindert uns daran, auf diesem Pfad das endgültige Ziel von Moksha zu erreichen? Wir glauben, dass einige Praktiken hilfreich sind, um Freiheit zu erlangen. Doch die meisten dieser Praktiken helfen uns nicht dabei, Freiheit zu erfahren. Die Anhaftungen werden nicht durchbrochen, obwohl wir viele verschiedene Praktiken ausführen. Was läuft schief? Was sind die Hindernisse? Es gibt Hindernisse, die die Menschen in dieser Welt binden. Sie können sich diese Hindernisse nicht vorstellen. Und durch die Unterstützung solcher Hindernisse haben sich die Menschen vom Weg der endgültigen Befreiung abgewandt. Die Gnanis (die Erleuchteten) haben gesagt, dass Wut, Stolz, Täuschung und Gier die Ursache für Bindungen und Hindernisse auf dem Weg der Befreiung sind. Nur wenn man von diesen Fehlern absolut frei ist, kann man die endgültige Befreiung erlangen. Alle Fehler sind in Wut, Stolz, Täuschung und Gier enthalten, aber wie entfalten und manifestieren sich diese Fehler in den weltlichen Interaktionen? Das kann man nur verstehen, wenn der Gnani Purush sie im Detail erklärt. Param Pujya Dadashri, der Meister der spirituellen Wissenschaft, erklärt in diesem Buch auf wunderbare, grundlegende und herzergreifende Weise die Ursachen für die Hindernisse auf dem Weg zur Befreiung (Moksha-Marg) und die Lösungen für spirituelle Praktizierende, um sich über all diese Hindernisse zu erheben und Befreiung zu erlangen.

Are All Guys Assholes?
by Amber MadisonWhat if everything you've been told about guys your entire life has been a lie? And what if your approach to sex, dating, and relationships is completely wrong, because it's based on false assumptions about how men think and feel? The idea that guys are "only interested in one thing," may help comedians, TV executives, and "dating gurus" make money, but it's not the truth. That's right-guys care about more than just sex, they don't have to be coaxed into relationships, and they deeply value emotional connections with women. How do we know? Because sex and dating expert Amber Madison asked them. She grilled more than a thousand guys in ten cities through interviews and surveys. She examined every stage of romantic relationships-from meeting a guy to getting serious with him-in order to find out what men really think, and why they do the things they do. Why do guys stop calling after a few dates? How can you tell if a guy actually likes you? How soon is too soon to have sex? Based on actual research, Are All Guys Assholes teaches you how to decipher and navigate any dating, hookup, or relationship situation. It explains the roots of some seemingly asshole-ish behaviors, and teaches you how to tell the good ones from the assholes once and for all. By the end, you'll never look at guys the same way again. .

by Jenny Rogers'Absorbing' - The Guardian'Are You Listening? is a real gem: full of insights about the human psyche, non-fiction, as gripping as a novel' - Miranda Levy, author of THE INSOMNIA DIARIES on TwitterIt is very rare as an adult to find a place where you are not judged, where you can be open, honest and vulnerable: that is exactly what coaching provides. Through twenty stories from her 32 years in the coaching room, Jenny demonstrates how even the most successful people can be held back by doubts, limitations and human dilemmas, such as: · 'Can I be my real self at work?'· 'What's my purpose in life?'· 'How do I deal with unhappiness and disappointment?'· 'Should I go for a job where I get paid a fortune but know I'd be miserable?'Through these moving, beautifully written stories, Jenny reflects on the meaning of modern relationships, demonstrating how the courage to be vulnerable can make a huge, transformative difference to the quality of all our lives.

Are You Praying for the Wrong Thing?: Learning to Ask What God Wants for You, Not Just What You Want
by Travis GreeneThe Bible tells us to pray continually and without ceasing, but what happens when we're waiting for God but discover He's waiting for us? In his first book, pastor and recording artist Travis Greene guides the reader to apply Biblical truths for a fulfilled life.Praying and waiting for God to answer can be confusing. When something--or everything--feels stuck because God doesn't seem to be answering our prayers, what next? Pastor and Grammy–nominated recording artist Travis Greene issues a challenge and asks us to examine our prayers--Are we praying for the right thing? Are we planning and preparing for what we've asked for? Are we praying for our will to grow closer to His? Or do we sometimes treat him like a genie in a bottle? Using Biblical examples, Travis invites readers to reconsider our prayers andnavigate beyond feeling trapped to thriving in God&’s purposes;learn to use what's left instead of focusing on what was lost;be willing to forgive, wait, and work as God allows; andbelieve in God's miracles while being a faithful steward of what He has already provided.Sometimes what happens next depends on the choices made right now. And sometimes God has something else in mind for us--something we might never have imagined, or in a way we might not have imagined it! It's possible to press forward into a life filled with joy and expectation for the future! Like the widow who used the oil she had at hand, by using what God has already supplied, Travis encourages the readers that they may be closer to enjoying God's promises than they realize. Management can be a magnet for miracles.
