Non-Violence
by Dada BhagwanThose seeking to lead a spiritual life may become curious as to what is ahimsa (non violence), and inspired to practice it. But understanding how to live in non violence is not as simple as it seems, and practicing no violence in daily life can quickly become bewildering. To someone just beginning to cultivate non-violence, daily interactions might even begin to feel like the very definition of conflict! In the book “Non-Violence”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers key understanding on how to define ahimsa (non violence) and how to avoid kashaya (internal self harm). Dadashri explains that kashaya is at the root of self harming, unhealthy relationships, and violence. Here, he teaches how to live in peace, offering profound knowledge of non violent communication, conflict resolution skills, and conflict management strategies.
Non-Violence and Social Change
by J. S. Mathur“In this hurricane of annihilating material power mankind will not be able to save itself from self destruction unless we all of us manage to practise non-violence in our relations with our fellow-men.” — Arnold Toynbee "Humanity stands at cross-road today. Several scholars and statesmen are worried about the catastrophe that humanity faces if we do not act with restraint and reason. Eminent scholars are now advocating increasing relevance on Gandhian techniques. At such juncture, the papers presented by 46 scholars for the seminar on ‘Non-violence and Social Change’ held in 1971 are being published in the present volume with the hope that it rouses in the academic community a desire to study Gandhiji’s ideas in all its ramification."
Nondual Love: Awakening to the Loving Nature of Reality
by A. H. AlmaasFrom beloved author and teacher A. H. Almaas, an exploration of love beyond the boundaries of the individual self, revealing that nondual love is the nature of everything, including ourselves.Love is a transformative aspect of the spiritual path—and, in fact, it is our very nature. A. H. Almaas takes us on a journey beyond a narrow, individual understanding of love to an exploration of what he calls the boundless dimension of Divine Love. This is not the kind of love that we feel toward somebody else; it is nondual, a love without boundaries. Or put another way, it is universal true nature experienced as love.By shifting our focus beyond our individual human experience to the experience of the whole of existence, we are able to see the true richness of the universe. All of reality takes on a quality of inner light, of softness and ease, of sweetness and holding. When we are open to the dimension of nondual love, we can relax and trust our inner ground that is also the ground of everything: our true nature, free from limitations—a sense of complete release, freedom, and delight, that is free of conflict, fear, insecurity, and worry. Almaas discusses the obstacles that make it difficult to awaken to true nature in this form, such as our belief in a separate self and our past conditioning. Each chapter includes an inquiry or practice, such as explorations of attachments and worldly desires as well as inquiries into union, surrender, and grace.

Norberto Rivera: El pastor del poder
by Bernardo BarrancoMás que una obra anticlerical o anticatólica, éste es un esfuerzo colectivo por conformar una sólida imputación a una fallida aventura de la Iglesia que apostó por la disciplina y la regresión. Alberto Athié - Eugenia Jiménez Cáliz - Guadalupe Loaeza - Fátima Moneta - Marilú Rojas Salazar - Mónica Uribe - Rodrigo Vera - Jenaro Villamil El libro que tiene en sus manos es una colección de ensayos críticos sobre el desempeño del arzobispo Norberto Rivera. No se busca una falsa neutralidad, por el contrario, son textos de denuncia donde intelectuales, periodistas y activistas de derechos humanos sustentan con hechos los excesos y extravíos del cardenal. Los autores documentan la trayectoria de un personaje que en nombre de la ortodoxia moral ha condenado las causas de las mujeres, los homosexuales, los no creyentes y las minorías. Como sedocumenta a lo largo de estas páginas, Norberto Rivera es un claro ejemplo de que la impunidad y el fuero religioso es una regla no escrita de la política mexicana. El prelado es intocable no sólo por su condición de alto clero, sino por su hermandad con el poder. Más que como pastor o líder espiritual, dice Bernardo Barranco, "el cardenal encarna al obispo sinuoso, rodeado de lujos, protector de pederastas, centavero, solapador a conveniencia propia y de sus amigos: actores de doble moral dentro y fuera de la Iglesia". Otros autores han opinado: "Tantas razones para la desilusión con la cúpula de la Iglesia católica y su representante en México, Norberto Rivera. Y este libro enuncia los motivos de este desencanto, persistente y dolorosamente. Marcial Maciel, pederasta. Juan Pablo II, encubridor. Legionarios de Cristo, cómplices. El personaje principal de esta obra, omiso. Difícil reconocerlo, entenderlo, admitirlo. Pero es la verdad que lleva años allí; que algunas víctimas valientes han denunciado; que algunos escritores comprometidos han investigado; que muchos mexicanos deberían saber." -Denise Dresser-

The Normal Bar: The Surprising Secrets of Happy Couples and What They Reveal About Creating a New Normal in Your Relationship
by Pepper Schwartz Chrisanna Northrup James WitteBased on data obtained from nearly 100,000 respondents, here is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to learn the relationship-tested ways couples can achieve satisfaction and contentment in areas such as communication, sex, affection, and financial cooperation.What constitutes "normal" behavior among happy couples? What steps you should take if that "normal" is one you want to strive for? To help answer those questions, wellness entrepreneur Chrisanna Northrup teamed with two of America's top sociologists, Yale Ph.D. Pepper Schwartz and Harvard Ph.D. James Witte, to design a unique interactive survey that would draw feedback from around the world. What has resulted is the clearest picture yet of how well couples are communicating, romancing each other, satisfying each other in the bedroom, sharing financial responsibilities, and staying faithful - or not. Since the Normal Bar survey methodology sorts for age and gender, racial and geographic differences and sexual preferences, the authors are able to reveal , for example, what happens to passion as we grow older, which gender wants what when it comes to sex, the factors that spur marital combat, how kids figure in, how being gay or bisexual turns out to be both different and the same, and -regardless of background -- the tiny habits that drive partners absolutely batty.The book is dense with revelations, from the unexpected popularity of certain sexual positions, to the average number of times happy - and unhappy -- couples kiss, to the prevalence of lying, to the surprising loyalty most men and women feel for their partner (even when in a deteriorating relationship), to the vivid and idiosyncratic ways individuals of different ages, genders and nationalities describe their "ideal romantic evening."Much more than a peek behind the relationship curtain, The Normal Bar offers readers an array of prescriptive tools that will help them establish a "new normal." Mindful of what keeps couples stuck in ruts, the book's authors suggest practical and life-changing ways to break cycles of disappointment and frustration.

by Kelly CervantesNone of us make it through life without experiencing loss that leaves us feeling broken. That&’s what makes grief so normal.In Normal Broken, Kelly Cervantes isn&’t trying to tell you what to do, how to feel, or the right way to heal.

Normal Gets You Nowhere
by Meredith Bryan Kelly Cutronenor-mal: according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule or principle / conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern / of, relating to, or characterized by average intelligence or development Normal? Who wants to be that? When Kelly Cutrone's first book, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside, was first published, young people flocked to this new voice-finally, someone was telling it like it is, in language they spoke. It quickly became a New York Times bestseller, and fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone became more than a personality, she became a beloved guru, mentor, and fairy godmother. Now she's back with another no-holds-barred book to awaken our souls and kick our asses into gear. With Normal Gets You Nowhere, she invites us to get our freak on. History is full of successful, world-changing people who did not fit in. Think Nelson Mandela, Joan of Arc, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, John Lennon, and Rosa Parks. Instead of changing themselves to accommodate the status quo or what others thought they should be, these people hung a light on their differences- and changed humanity in the process. "I know you don't feel normal, so why are you trying to act it and prove to everyone you are?" Cutrone says. So much of what we say or don't say, and what we do or don't do, is dictated by what others have told us, or what people may think of us. This is not how we should be living, by measuring ourselves against the mundane. An invitation to rethink who you are, what you value, and what you want from life, Normal Gets You Nowhere goes beyond how to reinvent yourself and create your own brand, and investigates what it means to live in this world as a tuned-in, caring individual with a passion for making a difference. There's already an army of super talented uberfreaks changing the world-isn't it time you joined them?

by Jeanne SaferIn the first book of its kind, renowned psychotherapist Jeanne Safer examines the hidden trauma of growing up with an emotionally troubled or physically disabled sibling, and helps adult "normal" siblings resolve their childhood pain. For too long the therapeutic community has focused on the parent-child relationship as the primary relationship in a child's life.

Normal Sucks: How to Live, Learn, and Thrive Outside the Lines
by Jonathan MooneyConfessional and often hilarious, in Normal Sucks a neuro-diverse writer, advocate, and father meditates on his life, offering the radical message that we should stop trying to fix people and start empowering them to succeedJonathan Mooney blends anecdote, expertise, and memoir to present a new mode of thinking about how we live and learn—individually, uniquely, and with advantages and upshots to every type of brain and body. As a neuro-diverse kid diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD who didn't learn to read until he was twelve, the realization that that he wasn’t the problem—the system and the concept of normal were—saved Mooney’s life and fundamentally changed his outlook. Here he explores the toll that being not normal takes on kids and adults when they’re trapped in environments that label them, shame them, and tell them, even in subtle ways, that they are the problem. But, he argues, if we can reorient the ways in which we think about diversity, abilities, and disabilities, we can start a revolution.A highly sought after public speaker, Mooney has been inspiring audiences with his story and his message for nearly two decades. Now he’s ready to share what he’s learned from parents, educators, researchers, and kids in a book that is as much a survival guide as it is a call to action. Whip-smart, insightful, and utterly inspiring—and movingly framed as a letter to his own young sons, as they work to find their ways in the world—this book will upend what we call normal and empower us all.
