Adjust Everywhere
by Dada BhagwanLife requires continuous adjustment in relation to unpleasant and unfavorable circumstances. In everyday situations (such as opening an umbrella in the rain, or wearing a jacket in the cold) we generally don’t resist these required adjustments. However, when dealing with difficult people, facing unhealthy relationships, in family relationships, or in the midst of marriage problems, adjustments become increasingly difficult. Some of our relationships could even be said to be the very definition of conflict! We ask ourselves, how can we possibly adjust in these emotionally-challenging situations? In the book “Adjust Everywhere”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers the ultimate conflict resolution skills in the form of spiritual conflict resolution strategies. His key phrase “Adjust Everywhere” is explained in the context of many common and everyday relationship challenges.
Adjust Everywhere: एडजेस्ट एव्हरीव्हेअर
by Dada Bhagwanजर गटारातून दुर्गंध आला तर आपण त्याच्याशी भांडतो का? ह्याच प्रमाणे ही भांडखोर माणसे ही दुर्गंध पसरवतात. तर आपण त्यांना काय म्हणायला जावे? जे दुर्गंध पसरवतात ते सर्व गटारा सारखे, व जे सुगंध पसरवतात ते सर्व बागे सारखे. ज्यांच्या-ज्यांच्या पासून दुर्गंध येतो ते सर्व म्हणतात "तुम्ही आमच्याशी वीतराग (राग-द्वेषा पासून मुक्त) रहा". आपण जीवनात अनेक वेळा पारिस्थितीशी जुळवून घेतो. उदाहरणार्थ पावसात आपण छत्री घेऊन जातो. अभ्यास पसंत असो वा नसो, करावाच लागतो. ह्या सगळ्याशी अॅडजस्टमेंट करावी लागते. तरीही जेंव्हा नकारात्मक लोकांशी संबध येताच संघर्ष (बेबनाव) होतो. असे का होते? परम पूज्य दादाश्रींनी खुलासा केला आहे की "अॅडजस्ट एव्हरिव्हेअर" ही अशी गुरुकिल्ली (मास्टर की) आहे जी तुमचा संसार सुखी बनवेल. हे सरळ सूत्र तुमचा संसार बदलून टाकेल ! अधिक जाणून घेण्यासाठी पुढे वाचा...
Adjust Everywhere: ऐडजस्ट एवरीव्हेयर
by Dada Bhagwanयदि एक सीवर में बदबू आए तो क्या हम सीवर से लड़ते हैं ? इसी प्रकार ये झगडालू दृष्टिकोणवाले मनुष्य भी दुर्गंध फैलाते हैं, तो क्या हम उनसे कुछ कहने जाएँ ? दुर्गंध फैलाए वे सभी सीवर कहलाएँ, तथा सुगंध फैलाए वे सभी बाग़ कहलाएँगे। जिस-जिस से दुर्गंध आती है, वे सभी कहते हैं, “आप हमसे वीतराग रहें” | हमने जीवन में अनेकों बार, परिस्थितियों के साथ समझौता किया है। उदाहरणत: बारिश में हम छाता लेकर जाते हैं। पढाई पसंद हो या न हो करनी ही पड़ती है। ये सभी एडजस्टमेन्ट लेने पड़ते हैं। फिर भी नकारात्मक लोगों से सामना होने पर हम टकराव में आ जाते हैं। ऐसा क्यों होता है ? परम पूज्य दादाश्री ने खुलासा किया है कि ‘एडजस्ट एवरीव्हेर’ वह ‘मास्टर की’ है जो आपके संसार को सुखमय बना देगी। यह सरल सूत्र आपके संसार को बदल देगा! और जानने के लिए आगे पढ़े
Adjust Everywhere: એડજસ્ટ એવરીવ્હેર
by Dada Bhagwanગટર ગંધાય છે ત્યારે આપણે ફરિયાદ કરીએ છીએ? તે જ રીતે અણગમતા અને નકારાત્મક લોકો ગટર જેવા છે. જે પણ ગંધાય છે તેને આપણે ગટર કહીએ છીએ અને જે સુવાસ આપે છે તેને આપણે ફુલ કહીએ છીએ. બન્ને માં એડજેસ્ટ થાઓ. છતાં બન્ને પરિસ્થિતિઓ કહે છે “અમારી પ્રત્યે વીતરાગ (રાગ અને દ્વેષ થી મુક્ત) રહો”. આપણી જિંદગી માં ઘણી વાર અણગમતી પરિસ્થિતિઓ માં આપણે બધા એડજેસ્ટ થયા છીએ. દાખલા તરીકે, આપણે વરસાદ માં છત્રી વાપરીએ છીએ. પણ આપણે વરસાદ ને સવાલો નથી પૂછતા, દલીલો નથી કરતા કે તેનો વિરોધ નથી કરતા. તેજ રીતે, આપણને ભણવામાં આનંદ આવે કે ન આવે, આપણે ભણતર ને એડજેસ્ટ થવું પડે છે. છતાંપણ, અણગમતા લોકો નો સવાલ આવે છે ત્યારે આપણે ફક્ત સવાલ, દલીલ, અને વિરોધ પર નથી અટકતા પણ મોટે ભાગે અથડામણ કરી બેસીએ છીએ. આવું શા માટે? સતત બદલાતા સંજોગો સાથે સુમેળ સાધી, અથડામણો ટાળી અંતે શાંતિ અને સુખ મેળવવા માટે ની છેવટ ની સમજણ તરીકે પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીએ “એડજેસ્ટ એવરીવેર” ઉઘાડું કર્યું. આ સાદા છતાં શક્તિશાળી વાક્ય માં તમારું જીવન બદલવા ની શક્તિ છે.. કેવી રીતે તે જાણવા માટે વાંચો.

Advanced Autogenic Training and Primal Awareness: Techniques for Wellness, Deeper Connection to Nature, and Higher Consciousness
by James EndredyA step-by-step guide to optimize health, reconnect with Nature, and access the vast knowledge of the universe through autogenic training • Provides step-by-step instructions for 40 autogenic and primal mind techniques • Explains how to add healing affirmations and visualizations to autogenic practice as well as work with colors and chakras • Includes techniques to restore our primal connection to the world of Nature through practices such as Forest Bathing, Nature’s Breath, and Feeling in the Dark Developed by German doctor Johannes Schultz in the early 20th century, autogenic training teaches you how to use the mind-body connection to influence and regulate the body’s normally involuntary autonomic functions by passively tapping into your central and peripheral nervous systems. Often used for stress relief, autogenic training can also be used for asthma, chronic pain, migraines, constipation, anxiety, panic attacks, and a host of other conditions. In this book, James Endredy takes autogenic training to a new level, revealing how to use AT practices to optimize health as well as reawaken your senses, reconnect with Nature and tap into the vast knowledge and power of the universe. Beginning with the 7 standard formulas of AT, the author provides step-by-step instructions for 40 AT and primal mind techniques. He explains how to add specific healing affirmations and visualizations to your AT practice as well as how to work with colors and the chakras. He offers advanced trainings to rekindle your primal touch sensitivity, experience enhanced sight and hearing, and awaken your primal sense of smell. He reveals how to use AT to restore our primal connection to the world of Nature through practices such as Forest Bathing, Nature’s Breath, and Primal Fire Connection. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience living and working with indigenous cultures, including the Huichol, Iroquois, Sioux, Maya, and Hopi, Endredy shows how, much like a vision quest, this unique combination of AT and primal mind awareness offers rites of passage sorely missing from modern life. It gives you the tools to go deeper into your physiological being, to directly experience how we relate to the world, and to reconnect with the ancient wisdom within each of us.
Advances in Happiness Research: A Comparative Perspective (Creative Economy)
by Toshiaki TachibanakiThis edited volume makes a contribution to the literature on happiness research by compiling studies based on cross-national research and from diverse academic disciplines. The book is distinctive in that it contains both theoretical and empirical analyses, investigating relationship between causes of happiness and economic behavior relating to employment, consumption, and saving. Most notably, it is one of the first studies in this subject area that analyzes micro data collected in Europe, US and Japan with information on respondents' attributes and their economic behavior, as well as in measuring inter-temporal happiness by principal factor analysis. Research findings in this volume shed new light on public policies for a number of areas such as employment, family, social welfare, urban and regional planning, and culture. The book draws on a collaborative research project between five institutions of higher education in France, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Japan that lasted for two years.

Advice from My 80-Year-Old Self: Real Words of Wisdom from People Ages 7 to 88
by Susan O'Malley“The voices gathered here display incredible wit, sincerity, and generosity; we are lucky to be able to listen to them.” —ArtforumIf you had the opportunity to meet your eighty-year-old self, what do you think she/he would tell you?That is the question artist Susan O’Malley, who was herself to die far too young, asked more than a hundred ordinary people of every age, from every walk of life. She then transformed their responses into vibrant text-based images. From a prompt to do things that matter to your heart, to a reminder that it’s okay to have sugar in your tea, these are calls to action and words to live by—heartfelt, sometimes humorous, and always fiercely compassionate. This stirring celebration of our collective humanity unveils the wisdom we hold inside ourselves right now.“Everyone, regardless of age, can take something away from this uplifting work.” —Real Simple
After 9/11: One Girl's Journey through Darkness to a New Beginning
by Jasmin Lee Cori Helaina Hovitz“You are a herald for your generation....Thank you for using your voice to help us make sense of that dark day, and forge a new beginning.”—Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a letter to Helaina Hovitz Helaina Hovitz was twelve years old and in middle school just blocks away when the World Trade Center was attacked. Her memoir encapsulates the journey of a girl growing up with PTSD after living through the events firsthand. After 9/11 chronicles its effects on a young girl at the outset of adolescence, following her as she spirals into addiction and rebellion, through loss, chaos, and confusion.The events of 9/11 were a very real part of Helaina’s life and are still vivid in her memory today. Hundreds were stranded in the neighborhood, including Helaina, without phones or electricity or anyone to help. Fear and despair took over her life. It would take Helaina more than a decade to overcome the PTSD — and subsequent alcohol addiction — that went misdiagnosed and mistreated. In many ways, After 9/11 is the story of a generation growing up in the aftermath of America’s darkest day —and for one young woman, it is the story of a survivor who, after witnessing the end, got to make a new beginning. This new trade paperback edition includes tips on how to cope with trauma, an FAQ section, and a guide to discussing 9/11 with children. “Inspirational, courageous and beautifully told. After 9/11 is a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.” — Cathy Free, correspondent, PEOPLE magazine“Helaina Hovitz's engrossing narrative begins in the shadow of the twin towers with her as a backpack-toting twelve-year-old and plays out over the next fifteen years in dramatic - and sometimes distressing - detail. This impressive debut is both deeply evocative and intensely personal.” — Peter Canby, Senior Editor, The New Yorker“A moving and remarkable testament to a time that changed our country, told beautifully by a young woman who never gave up hope that she could reclaim her life, no matter how grim things looked.” — Sean Elder, contributor, Newsweek

After You, Marco Polo
by Jean Bowie ShorFrom Venice to Pelping across high Asia, an adventurous American couple follows a dangerous trail seven centuries old."Franc and Jean Shor are the most widely traveled American couple on the world scene. They have gone to the farthest reaches, to the bleak places few have ever seen. They are warm-hearted, hospitable people, and keen observers, with great perception and understanding. "It's an exciting and absorbing adventure story that Jean Shor tells. It has a gay and humorous side; and a grim and near tragic one too. She and Franc follow Marco Polo by car, by horse and yak, and on foot over the top of the Pamirs of Central Asia, through heat and freezing cold. She has also followed Marco Polo's example by giving a faithful account of the people of the various regions--their customs, institutions, habits, diet, dress, dances, and religion."This is the best travelogue I know. It takes one where only a handful from the West have ever gone. The account is on par with Marco Polo's great classic. And it has more warmth and meaning, because it is rich in the details that only an understanding woman can contribute."--WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and author of Beyond the High Himalayas, etc.
Aging Matters: Finding Your Calling for the Rest of Your Life
by R. Paul StevensAcademy of Parish Clergy&’s Top Ten Books for Parish Ministry Vocational discernment, says R. Paul Stevens, is a lifelong process — one that takes on even more significance in later life. In this book Stevens argues that our calling does not end with formal retirement; to the contrary, we do well to keep on working, if possible, till life's end. Stevens delves into matters of calling, spirituality, and legacy in retirement, showing that we must continue to discern our vocation as we grow older in order to remain meaningfully engaged for the rest of our lives. He reframes retirement as a time of continued calling and productivity and points to biblical wisdom that can help us redefine aging as an extraordinarily fruitful season of life.

Ahinsa: अहिंसा
by Dada Bhagwanइन छोटे-छोटे जीवों को मारना, वह द्रव्यहिंसा कहलाता है और किसी को मानसिक दुःख देना, किसी पर क्रोध करना, गुस्सा होना, वह सब भावहिंसा कहलाता है। लोग चाहे जितनी अहिंसा पाले, लेकिन अहिंसा इतनी आसानी से नहीं पाली जा सकती। और वास्तव में क्रोध-मान-माया-लोभ ही हिंसा हैं। द्रव्यहिंसा कुदरत के लिखे अनुसार ही चलती है। इसमें किसी का चले, ऐसा नहीं है। इसलिए भगवान ने तो क्या कहा है कि सबसे पहले, खुद को कषाय नहीं हो, ऐसा करना। क्योंकि ये क्रोध-मान-माया-लोभ, वे सबसे बड़ी हिंसा हैं। द्रव्यहिंसा हो तो भले हो, लेकिन भाव हिंसा नहीं होनी चाहिए। लेकिन लोग तो द्रव्यहिंसा रोकते हैं और भाव हिंसा तो चलती ही रहती है। इसलिए किसी ने निश्चित किया हो कि “मुझे तो मारने ही नहीं हैं” तो भाग्य में कोई मरने नहीं आता। अब वैसे तो उसने स्थूल हिंसा बंद कर दी, कि मुझे किसी जीव को मारना ही नहीं है। लेकिन बुद्धि से मारना, ऐसा निश्चित किया, तो उसका बाज़ार खुला ही रहता है। तब वहाँ कीट पतंगे टकराते रहते हैं। और वह भी हिंसा ही है न! अहिंसा के बारे में इस काल के ज्ञानी, परम पूज्य दादाश्री के श्रीमुख से निकली हुई वाणी, इस ग्रंथ में संकलित की गई है। इसमें हिंसा और अहिंसा – दोनों के तमाम रहस्यों से पर्दा हटाया है।

Ahinsa: અહિંસા
by Dada Bhagwanપ્રાણીઓ, જીવજંતુ અને નાના જીવોને મારવા તે દ્રવ્ય હિંસા છે. અને બીજાને માનસિક સંતાપ આપવો, બીજા ઉપર ક્રોધ કરવો તે ભાવ હિંસા છે. માણસ ખૂબ જ પ્રયત્ન કરે છતાંપણ અહિંસક રહેવું અઘરું છે. હકીકત માં ક્રોધ, મિથ્યાભિમાન, આસક્તિ, લોભ એ ખરી હિંસા છે. દ્રવ્ય હિંસા કુદરતના કાયદા પ્રમાણે ચાલ્યા કરે છે અને તે કોઈના વશમાં નથી. કષાય ( ખરાબ ભાવ, વર્તન કે વાણી ) એ સૌથી મોટી હિંસા છે અને તેથી ભગવાને કહ્યું કે સૌથી વધારે મહત્વનું કષાય ન કરવા તે છે. આ પ્રકારની હિંસા એટલે સ્વ હિંસા અથવા ભાવ હિંસા. જો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા થાય, તો તેને થવા દો, પરંતુ કોઈપણ સંજોગો માં ભાવ હિંસા ના થવા દેવી જોઈએ. તેને બદલે લોકો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવાના પ્રયત્નો કરે છે અને ભાવ હિંસા કર્યે રાખે છે. જો કોઈ વ્યક્તિ પોતાના મનમાં નિશ્ચય કરે કે કોઈપણ સંજોગોમાં તે કોઈ જીવ ને નહિ મારે તો તે કોઈપણ જીવ હિંસામાં નિમિત્ત નહિ બને. એવા લોકો છે જેઓ દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવા મક્કમ છે. તેઓ દેખીતી જીવ હિંસા અટકાવી શકશે. છતાંપણ જો તેઓ વેપારમાં પોતાની બુદ્ધિથી બીજાનો ફાયદો ઉઠાવે છે તો અને પોતાના લોભથી તેઓ ભાવ હિંસા કરવાનું ચાલુ જ રાખે છે. આ બધી હિંસા જ છે. સ્થૂળ કે સૂક્ષ્મ, હિંસા અહિંસા વિષે જ્ઞાની પુરુષે જાતે ખુલ્લું કર્યું છે તે પ્રમાણે આગળ વધારો જાણો. જેઓ અહિંસા પાળી ને મુક્તિના માર્ગે આગળ વધવા માગે છે તેને આ વાંચન નિશંક રીતે મદદગાર સાબિત થશે.

Al Este - Una novela
by Peri Hoskins"...en una palabra: extraordinario.” V. Scipione, Agente Literario norteamericano. "Su forma de escribir es magnífica… Si hay algún escritor que me recuerde a Hoskins, ese sería John Steinbeck. Pero en vez del norte de California y el Valle de Salinas, descubrimos Australia y Nueva Zelanda.” - R. Simmons, de Readers’ Favorite. "... El resultado es una historia en la carretera donde se producen descubrimientos y conexiones entre personas, elevándolas a un nuevo nivel de introspección y crecimiento, de forma que ‘Al Este’ se convierte en una novela altamente recomendable para lectores a los que les gustan las historias introspectivas y las aventuras, y a los que consideran la experiencia de viajar por carretera como un estímulo a la hora de tomar decisiones.” - D. Donovan, Crítico autorizado, Midwest Book Review "Este es un libro que termina haciendo que me cuestione mi propia vida y hacia dónde se dirige- que me haga preguntarme cómo podría yo cambiar mi rutina por algo mucho más excitante.” - Christine Frayling, Asociación de libreros de Nueva Zelanda. "Qué captura tan extraordinaria de una humanidad desnuda y sin adulterar, con todos sus matices, sus luces y sus sombras. Lo leí en muy poco tiempo, no podía dejar de hacerlo… De verdad, de verdad que disfruté de la lectura muchísimo.” - Teresa Herleth Lleva una vida ordenada. Trabaja duro. Paga tus impuestos.

Albert Schweitzer: The Man and His Mind [5th Revised Edition]
by George SeaverThe definitive biography of one of the titans of our time, together with a full appreciation of his revolutionary thought and writings, is now revised to include new materials on the eighth decade of Dr. Schweitzer's life and work at Lambaréné.The book tells two exciting stories: the outward events of Schweitzer's life--his childhood in Alsace, his career in Strasbourg, his organ studies and recitals, his decision to become a medical missionary in Africa, and his long labors there; and a review of his great intellectual and spiritual contributions--his upsetting of Biblical criticism, his profound insights into Christ, St. Paul, Bach and Goethe, his philosophy of civilization and reverence for life."Seaver's book is without equal in opening to us simply and clearly a view of the life and mind of Schweitzer of Lambaréné, Africa, Europe and the World."--Christian Century"Mark this down as a great biography of a man whom many regard as our greatest living contemporary."--Living Church"Step by step Seaver leads the reader to look at life with Schweitzer, in order to understand his attitude toward Greek eudaemonism, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and finally the building up of his affirmation [Reverence for Life]...Those of us who seek to understand the meaning of Schweitzer's life and thought and 'realized fellowship with the living Christ's must master this tiny book, so filled with spiritual reality."--EDWARD H. HUME"Dr. Seaver's excellent work should appeal not only to Schweitzer's many admires, but to those anxious to find a way out of the baffling labyrinth of current world conditions."--Christian Century"This swift yet fundamental survey of one whole trend in the intellectual life of man is a remarkable piece of work. It proves that Schweitzer is one of the great thinkers of our time."--JOHN HAYNES HOLMES

All about Them: Grow Your Business by Focusing on Others
by Bob Burg Bruce TurkelThe best companies and most successful salespeople live by a three-word mantra—"all about them"—because when they relentlessly focus their brand on their customers instead of themselves, their businesses flourish. All about Them shows readers how to use this simple but extremely powerful influencing technique. Bruce Turkel, who has advised some of the world's greatest companies, including American Express and Bacardi, lays the groundwork by relating his personal journey of discovery to the "All about Them" principle. He goes on to explore our technology-driven, hyper- connected culture; the power of storytelling (and story-selling); brand authenticity and transparency; and more.
America the Anxious: Why Our Search for Happiness Is Driving Us Crazy and How to Find It for Real
by Ruth WhippmanNAMED ONE OF THE 40 BEST BOOKS BY THE NEW YORK POSTA New York Times Editor's Choice pick“Ruth Whippman is my new favorite cultural critic...a shrewd, hilarious analysis.” —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B (coauthored with Sheryl Sandberg)"I don't think I've enjoyed cultural observations this much since David Foster Wallace's A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. Reading this book is like touring America with a scary-smart friend who can't stop elbowing you in the ribs and saying, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?!" If you want to understand why our culture incites pure dread and alienation in so many of us (often without always recognizing it), read this book." —Heather Havrilesky, writer behind "Ask Polly" for New York Magazine and nationally bestselling author of How to Be a Person in the WorldAre you happy? Right now? Happy enough? As happy as everyone else? Could you be happier if you tried harder?After she packed up her British worldview (that most things were basically rubbish) and moved to America, journalist and documentary filmmaker Ruth Whippman found herself increasingly perplexed by the American obsession with one topic above all others: happiness. The subject came up everywhere: at the playground swings, at the meat counter in the supermarket, and even—legs in stirrups—at the gynecologist.The omnipresence of these happiness conversations (trading tips, humble-bragging successes, offering unsolicited advice) wouldn’t let her go, and so Ruth did some digging. What she found was a paradox: despite the fact that Americans spend more time and money in search of happiness than any other nation on earth, research shows that the United States is one of the least contented, most anxious countries in the developed world. Stoked by a multi-billion dollar “happiness industrial complex” intent on selling the promise of bliss, America appeared to be driving itself crazy in pursuit of contentment.So Ruth set out to get to the bottom of this contradiction, embarking on an uproarious pilgrimage to investigate how this national obsession infiltrates all areas of life, from religion to parenting, the workplace to academia. She attends a controversial self-help course that promises total transformation, where she learns all her problems are all her own fault; visits a “happiness city” in the Nevada desert and explores why it has one of the highest suicide rates in America; delves into the darker truths behind the influential academic “positive psychology movement”; and ventures to Utah to spend time with the Mormons, officially America’s happiest people.What she finds, ultimately, and presents in America the Anxious, is a rigorously researched yet universal answer, and one that comes absolutely free of charge.
