The Seekers: Meetings With Remarkable Musicians (and Other Artists)
by John DensmoreThe iconic drummer of The Doors investigates his own relationship with creativity and explores the meaning of artistry with other artists and performers in this compelling and spellbinding memoir.Whether it's the curiosity that blossoms after we listen to our favorite band's newest record, or the sheer admiration we feel after watching a knockout performance, many of us have experienced art so pure-so innovative-that we can't help but wonder afterwards: "How did they do that?" And yet, few of us are in a position to be able to ask those memorable legends where their inspiration comes from and how they translated it into something fresh and new. Fortunately for us, this book is here to offer us a bridge. In The Seekers, John Densmore-the iconic drummer of The Doors and author of the New York Times bestseller Riders onthe Storm-digs deep into his own process and draws upon his privileged access to his fellow artists and performers in order to explore the origins of creativity itself. Weaving together anecdotes from the author's personal notebooks and experiences over the past fifty years, this book takes readers on a rich, thought-provoking journey into the soul of the artist. By understanding creativity's roots, Densmore ultimately introduces us to the realm of everyday inspirations that imbue our lives with meaning. Inspired by the classic spiritual memoir Meetings with Remarkable Men, this book is fueled by Densmore's abundant collection of transformative experiences-both personal and professional-with everyone from Ravi Shankar to Patti Smith, Jim Morrison to Janis Joplin, Bob Marley to Gustavo Dudamel, Lou Reed to Van Morrison, Jerry Lee Lewis to his own dear, late Doors bandmate Ray Manzarek. Ultimately, the result is not only a look into the hearts and minds of some of the most important artists of the past century-but a way for readers to identify and ignite their own creative spark, and light their own fire.

Seeking Serenity
by Amanda EnayatiIn a provocative and practical look at modern stress, Seeking Serenity offers an empowering new message: Stress can serve as a guide to living our happiest and healthiest lives. In Seeking Serenity, stress columnist Amanda Enayati challenges our long-held assumptions about stress, painting a groundbreaking picture that separates myth from reality when it comes to what is commonly referred to as the plague of modern life. Weaving together stories, research from science, history, philosophy and diverse faiths, and everyday exercises, she crafts a fascinating tale that begins with the behind-the-scenes machinations of corporate villains and ends in the power of our stories to shape our realities.We are living in an era of dramatic highs and lows, with lives that move at a pace and intensity impossible at any other time in history. These contradictions throw us off-kilter, out of harmony and balance, creating what we perceive as never-ending and destructive cycles of stress. But life itself has always been--and will always be--a series of fluctuations: the good days, the bad days, the excruciating days. The key to mastering stress lies in the way we experience it.Seeking Serenity presents ten revolutionary principles developed from the emerging science of stress and reinforced by literature, philosophy and age-old spiritual wisdom that help us to differentiate between destructive and constructive stress, and to master stress in the everyday by learning how to:Shift our perceptions to interpret inevitable challenges in a way that serves us better;Embrace a narrative that casts stress as a pathway to adaptation and growth; andCommit to breaks, buffers, and protective practices that will minimize and neutralize the adverse impacts of toxic stress.Drawing on extensive research and remarkable case studies, Seeking Serenity presents a clear and accessible action plan to achieving more joyful and productive lives, stronger communities and a better world.
Seeking Surrender: How My Friendship with a Trappist Monk Taught Me to Trust and Embrace Life
by Colette Lafia Daniel P. Horan O. F. M.An unlikely friendship between Colette Lafia and a silent monk at the Abbey of Gethsemani, where Thomas Merton lived, comes to life through seven years of shared letters. Lafia's palpable openness and warm storytelling lead readers through the same compassionate process that led the author to accept herself, find peace with life, and strive for an ever-deepening relationship with God. Folded within the deep friendship cultivated through letters exchanged between Colette Lafia, a spiritual director and retreat leader, and Brother Rene, a Trappist monk, is Lafia's struggle with infertility, insomnia, the loss of her sister, the declining health and eventual death of her father, and her role as caregiver. Brother Rene's compassion and guidance throughout these trials--and Lafia's responses--provide a template for helping readers to surrender to God in their own struggles. Readers will find simple exercises and profound advice for living a more conscious and intentional life, with tips such as, "look at yourself through God's eyes," "notice when fear arrives at your door," and "trust all is well. " Readers will ultimately discover a new attitude of acceptance and letting go.

Seen, Secure, Free: How a Life Hidden with Christ Strengthens and Transforms You
by Allison AllenIn a world that screams Be Seen! Be Known! and often measures value by likes and shares and follows, it's easy to feel invisible, unheard, unloved. But God's Word offers a powerful and freeing counternarrative: true treasure is actually found in the "hidden" life of Christ.Somewhere along the way, we've confused our level of visibility with our value. We've mixed up fame with fruitfulness. We've equated exposure with excellence.But what if we stopped trying so hard to be seen, recognized, and affirmed by the world around us? What if there's a different way of living altogether?Seen, Secure, Free unpacks the great promise in Colossians 3:3: "Your life is hidden with Christ in God" and reminds us that when God hides us in himself, he provides a non-negotiable, never-ending source of contentment, identity, and worth.Join Bible teacher Allison Allen as she explores the incredible power of hiddenness in nature, history, and Scripture, which will help you:Let go of the pressure to be recognized and praised by others;Release the resentment that comes from feeling unseen or misunderstood;Find contentment in a loving God who knows you deeply;Find security in a powerful God who establishes your identity, worth, and purpose;Reset your motivations and goals to align with his kingdom; andFeel freed to pursue new adventures with Jesus No more striving to be seen or wondering if you matter; no more pressure to perform or be visible to the world. Instead, rest assured that God truly sees, knows, and loves you more than any person ever could. And let him lead you into the freedom, joy, and transformative power of a life hidden in him.
The Seer
by Lars MuhlThe Seer is a compelling account of one man's spiritual awakening, written with extraordinary energy, candour and humility. The first of three books that together comprise 'The O Manuscript', it is the beginning of a personal and philosophical quest that challenges conventional wisdom and takes the reader on a mystical journey through ancient history and modern times. The book begins with the author at a crossroads, suffering from debilitating health, his personal and professional lives disintegrating around him. Bed-ridden for three years, Lars Muhl was put in touch with a seer who helped him, over the telephone initially, to recover his energy and brought him back to life. The Seer became his spiritual leader, teaching him the inner truths of existence. We travel with him to Montsegur, a remote mountain village and castle in southern France, where he meets the Seer and begins his remarkable and challenging adventure. The book is not only a spellbinding introduction to the ancient vision of cosmic interconnectedness, but also a critical evaluation of a long list of limiting New Age dogmas.When Lars and the Seer part, the latter hands an old manuscript into the author's care - a doorway to further revelations.

Segregados: como os solteiros são estereotipados, estigmatizados e ignorados e vivem felizes
by Bella DePaulo Gabriel Borges SantosOs solteiros estão mudando a cara dos Estados Unidos. Você sabia que: * Mais de 40 por cento dos adultos do país---mais de 87 milhões de pessoas---são divorciados, viúvos, ou sempre estiveram solteiros? * Existem mais lares formados por solteiros morando sozinhos do que lares de pais casados e seus filhos? * Atualmente, os americanos passam mais tempo da sua vida adulta solteiros, em vez de casados? Muitos dos solteiros da atualidade têm empregos motivadores, casa própria e uma rede de amigos. Não estamos mais em 1950-- os solteiros podem fazer sexo sem se casarem, e podem criar filhos inteligentes, bem-sucedidos e felizes. Deveria ser um ótimo momento para ser solteiro. Porém, não é raro que os solteiros ainda tenham que defender a maneira como vivem contra um bando de críticas de colegas e parentes preocupados. Pessoas proeminentes na política, na imprensa e intelectuais se revezam para disseminar mitos sobre o casamento e a vida de solteiro. Case-se, eles prometem, e você viverá uma vida longa, cheia de saúde e felicidade, e nunca ficará sozinho(a) novamente. Baseando-se em décadas de pesquisas científicas e em uma vasta coleção de histórias sobre diversos tipos de solteiro, Bella DePaulo desmistifica a vida de solteiro---e mostra que praticamente tudo que você já ouviu sobre os benefícios do casamento e sobre os perigos de ficar solteiro é grosseiramente exagerado ou simplesmente errado. Embora os solteiros sejam isolados com um tratamento injusto no trabalho, no mercado de consumo e na estrutura federal tributária, eles não são simplesmente vítimas da solteirofobia. Os solteiros estão vivendo mesmo felizes para sempre. Contando com uma mistura adequada de doses de verdade com uma boa pitada de humor, Singled Out é um livro provacativo e entusiasmante para os solteiros, os casados e todas as outras pessoas em outros tipos de relacionamento e arranjos familiares.

Segunda opinión: 8 enfermedades mortales
by Radha GopalanDescubre cómo combinar la medicina occidental y oriental para aumentar tu salud y bienestar, y cambia así tu percepción dela medicina para siempre La mayoría de la gente estaría de acuerdo en que no se nos enseña mucho acerca del «bienestar». Y aunque parece haber mayor conciencia relacionada con la salud física, a menudo sólo pensamos en salud o médicos cuando estamos enfermos . Lo que queda entre esos dos extremos es una lucha a lo largo de toda la vida para mantenerse saludable y productivo en un mundo de mensajes médicos mixtos.El doctor Gopalan combina su educación y experiencia en la medicina oriental y occidental para ver la salud y el bienestar desde una perspectiva única y poderosa. No sólo ofrece conceptos e ideas que pueden cambiar la forma de pensar sobre la salud y el bienestar, también evalúa las afecciones médicas más comunes que afectan nuestro mundo, desde la obesidad y el cáncer hasta las enfermedades pulmonares, hepáticas, renales y cardiacas. En Segunda opinión, el doctor Gopalan explica: - Cómo la medicina oriental y occidental pueden trabajar en conjunto para lograr salud y bienestar óptimos. - Cómo Tu Poder puede moldear tu personalidad, tus reacciones, tu salud y tu felicidad. - Por qué algunas personas que comen sano, hacen ejercicio y llevan un estilo de vida saludable pueden sufrir un ataque cardiaco. - Cómo estar sano tiene más que ver con quién eres que con qué haces «Al igual que aquellos a quienes les enseño, yo también aprendo y crezco. Reconozco que alcanzar la verdadera felicidad significa ir más allá de una misión de bienestar financiero, que implica una misión de bienestar completo: en la salud y en el bienestar, en el despertar espiritual, la filantropía y el propósito de vida. En pocas palabras, una vida rica.» ROBERT T. KIYOSAKI, autor de Padre Rico, Padre Pobre

Segundo YO
by Antonio AlmasUna autoscopia sobre la realidad de la vida y la asunción de uno mismo. Y así ha llegado el momento del silencio, algún día tendría que venir, porque demasiadas palabras sacuden tu cabeza, demasiada conversación drena tu mente, disuelve tus sentidos y te distrae de lo esencial. Sé que intenté escapar, que no quería aceptar la soledad y la ausencia de ruido. Luché por quedarme con los demás, ser como ellos, muchos amigos, muchas fiestas y mucha alegría, pero no era así. Era un niño callado, silencioso que siempre estaba en su esquina, encerrado en su mundo, silencioso, escondido dentro de su cerebro. Nunca tuve una habilidad especial para la exposición pública, aunque tengo cierta capacidad para la argumentación, cuando experimenté las artes de la política, me sentí incómodo con la mentira, la necesidad de estar constantemente bajo los ojos de las masas, bajo el escrutinio de los demás. Nunca me gustó realmente ser examinado. No sé si por miedo, sí, siempre fui muy miedoso, miedo de no ser capaz, incapacidad de ser tan bueno como los demás. Siempre los otros en un término comparativo, al final así es el mundo, descubriendo diferencias entre unos y otros, compitiendo para superar a los demás en lugar de ayudarse mutuamente. En resumen, un joven con complejos de inferioridad solo puede producir un adulto inseguro que, a pesar de su tenacidad para vivir una vida independiente y pagar sus cuentas, ha dejado de lado algunas debilidades que aparentemente no eran tan obvias, pero igualmente serias, tan serias como aquellos que no pueden gobernarse a sí mismos y construir una vida sólida y estable.
