Thanks A Thousand: A Gratitude Journey (TED Books)
by A. J. JacobsThe idea was deceptively simple: New York Times bestselling author A.J. Jacobs decided to thank every single person involved in producing his morning cup of coffee. The resulting journey takes him across the globe, transforms his life, and reveals secrets about how gratitude can make us all happier, more generous, and more connected.Author A.J. Jacobs discovers that his coffee—and every other item in our lives—would not be possible without hundreds of people we usually take for granted: farmers, chemists, artists, presidents, truckers, mechanics, biologists, miners, smugglers, and goatherds. By thanking these people face to face, Jacobs finds some much-needed brightness in his life. Gratitude does not come naturally to Jacobs—his disposition is more Larry David than Tom Hanks—but he sets off on the journey on a dare from his son. And by the end, it&’s clear to him that scientific research on gratitude is true. Gratitude&’s benefits are legion: It improves compassion, heals your body, and helps battle depression. Jacobs gleans wisdom from vivid characters all over the globe, including the Minnesota miners who extract the iron that makes the steel used in coffee roasters, to the Madison Avenue marketers who captured his wandering attention for a moment, to the farmers in Colombia. Along the way, Jacobs provides wonderful insights and useful tips, from how to focus on the hundreds of things that go right every day instead of the few that go wrong. And how our culture overemphasizes the individual over the team. And how to practice the art of &“savoring meditation&” and fall asleep at night. Thanks a Thousand is a reminder of the amazing interconnectedness of our world. It shows us how much we take for granted. It teaches us how gratitude can make our lives happier, kinder, and more impactful. And it will inspire us to follow our own &“Gratitude Trails.&”

by Alberto Favaro A. J. ParrQuesto libro contiene sette semplici lezioni ed esercizi di base che potete facilmente usare per aiutare a fermare la vostra “mente che chiacchiera” e cominciare a vivere l'Adesso, una pratica che può darvi la pace interiore e la gioia A PARTIRE DA OGGI! Qui imparerete i principi e i metodi base dietro all’antica pratica del Vivere l'Adesso, fondamenti dal valore inestimabile di tutti gli antichi insegnamenti spirituali mondiali, compresi quelli di Gesù, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Kabir, e quelli più recenti di Eckhart Tolle, Krishnamurti, Dalai Lama, Ramana Maharshi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Alan Watts, e innumerevoli altri. Le sette lezioni e gli esercizi che troverete sono basate sulle seguenti antiche premesse: *La sofferenza e l’infelicità umana sono prodotte dalla nostra “mente che chiacchiera”, che senza sosta produce un dialogo interno o chiacchiericcio, impedendoci di vivere pienamente l'Adesso. *C’è un modo per rallentare e fermare la nostra mente che chiacchiera. Una volta imparato come farlo, sarete in grado di rallentare e fermarla quando ne avrete bisogno (in particolare quando avrete veramente bisogno di fermarla e porre fine all'angoscia e alla sofferenza che vi auto infliggete). *Non potete fermare completamente i vostri pensieri, e non è neppure auspicabile. Anche gli esseri illuminati hanno bisogno di vivere e interagire con la società, come tutti gli esseri umani. *In realtà rallentando la vostra mente che chiacchiera, potete far perdere loro la loro forza. Riconoscendole semplicemente come “illusioni”, cioè, come prodotto di un fenomeno psicologico comune tra gli esseri umani e presumibilmente conosciuto in India sin dai tempi della preistoria: il fenomeno dell’illusione mentale causata da quello che da migliaia di anni è conosciuto come “il velo di Maya”. *Solo liberandovi da questo velo mentale potrete a poco a poco svegliarvi e liberarvi dall’illusione p

Apresenta-nos os conceitos básicos, métodos e princípios por detrás dos ensinamentos espirituais de Eckhart Tolle, Krishnamurti, Dalai Lama, Ramana Maharshi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi e Alan Watts, entre outros., com base na premissa de que existe e sempre existiu apenas um ensinamento espiritual, embora surja em muitas formas.

As sete lições espirituais e exercícios que você vai encontrar neste livro baseiam-se nos seguintes antigos ensinamentos: * O sofrimento humano e a infelicidade são produzidos pela nossa “mente tagarela”, que produz um diálogo interior ou conversa contínuos, e que nos impede de viver o agora. * Existe uma maneira de abrandar e parar o tagarelar da nossa mente. Logo que aprenda a fazer isso, você também será capaz de abrandar e parar, quando necessário (especialmente quando você precisar mesmo de parar e acabar com sua aflição e sofrimento auto-infligidos). * Você não pode barrar seus pensamentos completamente, nem é desejável. Mesmo os seres iluminados necessitam de viver e interagir com a sociedade, como todos os seres humanos. * Ao diminuir efectivamente o tagarelar da sua mente, você pode fazer com que ele perca o seu poder.

A Teachable Spirit: The Virtue of Learning from Strangers, Enemies, and Absolutely Anyone
by A. J. SwobodaBeing a know-it-all isn't a fruit of the Spirit. But the ancient call of Jesus beckons us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength" (Matt. 22:37). How do we love God with our mind? In A Teachable Spirit, A.J. Swoboda helps followers of Jesus develop the discipline of teachability.In a world marked by distraction, mind-numbing entertainment, endless content, polarization, and a decreasing desire to humbly learn from those we dislike, the way we engage sources of information like news media, science, and social media content could not be more important. Thankfully, the Christian faith provides sharp tools and rich traditions for learning how to be the best learners. By drawing on his experiences as a professor, theologian, and lay pastor, Swoboda explores the potency of seeing learning as a part of one's spiritual formation to Jesus.With the right posture, Christians can learn from even the most unexpected places.
Redeeming How We Talk: Discover How Communication Fuels Our Growth, Shapes Our Relationships, and Changes Our Lives
by Ken Wytsma A. J. SwobodaDiscover why words matter in a noisy world Technology has made it easier than ever before to share just about everything: pictures, ideas, even the ups and downs of your morning errand run. Yet all our talking doesn&’t seem to be connecting us the way it promised to. That&’s because we don&’t need to talk more, we need to talk better. Redeeming How We Talk explores what the Bible has to say about that central aspect of life and relationships—conversation. The Scriptures show us that words have remarkable power—to create, to bless, to encourage, to forgive. Imagine how we, as Christians, could spark change in our families, churches, and communities if we learned to use words like Jesus did. By weaving together theology, history, and philosophy, Ken Wytsma and A. J. Swoboda help us reclaim the holiness of human speech and the relevance of meaningful conversation in our culture today.
