-Titulo Original : The Power Of Now: A Guide To Spiritual Enlightenment-Fabricante : New World Library-Descripcion Original: Eckhart Tolle is emerging as one of today's most inspiring teachers. In The Power of Now, already a word-of-mouth bestseller in Canada, the author describes his transition from despair to self-realization soon after his 29th birthday. Tolle took another ten years to understand this transformation, during which time he evolved a philosophy that has parallels in Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also eminently practical. In The Power of Now he shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living present, fully, and intensely, in the Now...

-Titulo Original : Sit Down To Rise Up: How Radical Self-Care Can Change The World-Fabricante : New World Library-Descripcion Original: An empowering book on propelling profound social change by going inward, from a mindfulness teacher and activist who has turned personal practice into movements The practice of self-care is most often touted for its profound mind, body, and spirit benefits. Shelly Tygielski shows that self-care can also be a powerful tool for spurring transformative collective action. In a winning combination of memoir, manifesto, and how-to, Shelly shares her evolution from a Jerusalem-born child of traditional Sephardic Jewish parents to a middle-class American suburban youth who questioned her faith to a young executive in corporate America. As she used radical self-care practices to manage a serious chronic health issue, she had an epiphany: finding true health and peace is not a solo endeavor but one that lives in connection with others. Tygielski considers herself an unlikely meditator, activist, and teacher. But as such, she is uniquely qualified to speak to all today who wonder, “What can I do?” or, “Will my actions even make a difference?” Tygielski’s work began as “me” work and transformed into “we” work. In Sit Down to Rise Up, she shows that this is possible for all of us. Review “[Shelly Tygielski] is saving people’s lives . . . and giving them hope.” - President Joe Biden “[Shelly Tygielski] is like a superhero whose special superpower is her heart.” - Arianna Huffington, bestselling author of Thrive “ Sit Down to Rise Up is the book you didn’t realize you desperately needed.

It will inspire you to show up in ways big and small.” - Busy Philipps, award-winning actress and bestselling author “Shelly’s story and her ability to take action will show people how much power they really have. Sit Down to Rise Up is for anyone who is ready to heal themselves and help heal the world.” - Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez), New York Times bestselling author, activist, and influencer “Shelly is making mindfulness and self-care more accessible to everyone but specifically for individuals who have experienced trauma. In Sit Down to Rise Up, she makes the important argument that the inner journey for each person must be connected to our actions and words in the outer world for true well-being to emerge.” - David Simas , CEO of the Obama Foundation “Few people in the world are actually making the measurable, tangible impact that Shelly is. That’s beautiful all by itself, but what she’s taught me in life, and in...

-Titulo Original : Meditation Saved My Life: A Tibetan Lama And The Healing Power Of The Mind-Fabricante : New World Library-Descripcion Original: In 2003, Tibetan lama Phakyab Rinpoche was admitted to the emergency clinic of the Program for Survivors of Torture at Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital. After a dramatic escape from imprisonment in China, at the hands of authorities bent on uprooting Tibet’s traditional religion and culture, his ordeal had left him with life-threatening injuries, including gangrene of the right ankle. American doctors gave Rinpoche a shocking choice: accept leg amputation or risk a slow, painful death. An inner voice, however, prompted him to try an unconventional cure: meditation. He began an intensive spiritual routine that included thousands of hours of meditation over three years in a small Brooklyn studio. Against all scientific logic, his injuries gradually healed. In this vivid, passionate account, Sofia Stril-Rever relates the extraordinary experiences of Phakyab Rinpoche, who reveals the secret of the great healing powers that lie dormant within each of us. Review “[Phakyab Rinpoche] will teach the world how to heal.” His Holiness the Dalai Lama“Phakyab Rinpoche’s Meditation Saved My Life is a beautifully written, heart-gripping, and inspiring narrative of the courageous struggle of a wise and compassionate Tibetan lama who became a great teacher and healer, risking it all and winning over disfigurement and even death. Read this book and rekindle your faith in the human determination to choose compassion and courage, mind over matter; and ignite your own life.” Robert Thurman, Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University and translator of The Tibetan Book of the Dead “Phakyab Rinpoche’s amazing odyssey, beautifully depicted in this extraordinary book, inspires so much spiritual courage, strength, and wisdom. Our deepest aspirations and unimaginable possibilities are illuminated by the radiance of this precious jewel.” Krishna Das, kirtan wallah and devotee of Neem Karoli Baba “Phakyab Rinpoche shares with us the compelling narrative of how he healed the injuries he sustained in Chinese-occupied Tibet. Importantly, his story powerfully demonstrates what we now know from science: compassion awakens within us our own power to heal both the mind and the body.” James R. Doty, MD, founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University and New York Times-bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart “ Meditation Saved My Life tells us that we can overcome hatred with compassion and let go into healing. Phakyab Rinpoche opens heart and mind with the core spiritual teachings of Tibetan Buddhism in clear, inspiring language. He reminds me that bodhisattvas are here with us and that we can aspire to emulate them to reach our own realization.” George Pitagorsky, author of The Zen Approach to Project Management, Managing Conflict in Projects, and Managing Expectations, teacher at New York Insight Meditation Center, and division CIO at New York City Department of Education “Phakyab Rinpoche is a gem, a spiritual teacher whose infectious, joyful radiance fills every space he enters and whose loving, childlike delight lifts every heart he encounters. His very presence is the essence of healing. This wonderful book is a true spiritual masterpiece, a story of profound healing shared with humility and grace by a master of consciousness.” Ramananda John E.

-Titulo Original : Reset Your Childs Brain A Four-week Plan To End Meltdowns, Raise Grades, And Boost Social Skills By Reversing The Effects Of Electronic Screen-time-Fabricante : New World Library-Descripcion Original: A no-cost, nonpharmaceutical treatment plan for children with behavioral and mental health challenges Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders but don’t respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS). Dr. Dunckley has found that everyday use of interactive screen devices such as computers, video games, smartphones, and tablets can easily overstimulate a child’s nervous system, triggering a variety of stubborn symptoms. In contrast, she’s discovered that a strict electronic fast single-handedly improves mood, focus, sleep, and behavior, regardless of the child’s diagnosis. Offered now in this book, this simple intervention can produce a life-changing shift in brain function all without cost or medication. Dr. Dunckley provides hope for parents who feel that their child has been misdiagnosed or inappropriately medicated, by presenting an alternative explanation for their child’s difficulties and a concrete plan for treating them. Review Impressively researched, eye-opening, and eminently practical, Reset Your Child’s Brain is an invaluable contribution to any parent’s library. Dr. Dunckley’s plan is sure to provide relief to a great many children and their families.” Craig Malkin, PhD, instructor in psychology, Harvard Medical School, and author of Rethinking Narcissism Readers will . . . feel relieved to have such a helpful guide to teaching children that there is more to life than staring at a screen.” Publishers Weekly Dr. Victoria Dunckley has given every child psychiatrist and pediatrician in America a wonderful gift. This book gives us a tool to share with the parents of the millions of children in the US who are agitated, unfocused, and out of control. She also answers the question about why this problem has accelerated in the last decade: it is screen-time, not a lack of Ritalin. I completely agree with her premise and her interventions. Thank you!” Scott Shannon, MD, integrative child psychiatrist, past president of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and author of Please Don’t Label My Child Many parents won’t want to hear this, but child psychiatrist Dunckley makes a compelling case for an unrecognized disorder she terms Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS). From kids who melt down without cause, refuse to look people in the eye, are wired but tired, or otherwise just hole up in their rooms all day, Dunckley’s research identifies the common thread of dysregulation owing to screen use and orders an immediate electronic fast. Showing how ESS affects brain chemistry, arousal, sleep, and behavior, to name but a few outcomes, the author moves into a four-week step-by-step plan to reset a child’s brain, resulting in better focus and organization, improved compliance, and more mature social interactions. Library Journal Parents will probably recoil from the idea of taking their children’s cell phones and laptops away from them. Let them know that Dunckley acknowledges the mountain that she is asking them to climb and, not only gives them thorough reasons for doing it, but also a highly detailed plan for accomplishing it.” Retailing Insight This practical and easy-to-read guide is a much-needed wake-up call for this digital age. Buy Reset Your Child’s Brain for your family, your school, and your local library.” Kerry Crofton, PhD, cofounder and executive director of Doctors for Safer Schools and author of A Wellness Guide for the Digital Age This book looks at how electr...

-Titulo Original : Stillness Speaks-Fabricante : New World Library-Descripcion Original: New York Times bestselling author Eckhart Tolle Learn the transformative power of living in the now Attaining Eckhart Tolle’s state of presence: In Stillness Speaks, Eckhart Tolle illuminates the fundamental elements of his teaching, addressing the needs of the modern seeker by drawing from all spiritual traditions. At the core of the book is what the author calls “the state of presence,” a living in the ‘now’ that is both intensely inspirational and practical. The power of now: When the pressures of future and past thinking disappear, fear and frustration also vanish, conquered by the moment. Stillness Speaks takes the form of 200 individual entries, organized into 10 topic clusters that range from “Beyond the Thinking Mind” to “Suffering and the End of Suffering.” Each entry is concise and complete in itself, but, read together, take on a transformative power. If you have read The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer, Buddha’s Brain by Rick Hanson, or other Eckhart Tolle books such as The Power of Now, you will want to own and read Stillness Speaks. Review Expanding on his mantra Get out of your head and into the moment Eckhart Tolle offers this new book on living in the now. Here Tolle emphasizes the art of inner stillness--the place where thoughts, ego and attachments fall always and we are left only with what the moment has to offer: When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Dont expect this to be a quick skim or even a straight-through read. Like his previous bestselling book The Power of Now, Tolle uses brief entries and numerous white spaces to give readers easy in-and-out access into enticing spiritual insights that expound on inner stillness, such as learning the difference between surrender and resignation, overcoming the fear death, and how to end suffering. In fact, this is designed to be an ongoing conversation. Pick it up any time or any place, but be sure to allow for plenty of breaks for serious contemplation. Even as you occasionally abandon the book, dont abandon the teachings, pleads Tolle. Embracing and practicing inner stillness is no longer a luxury, he writes, but a necessity if humankind is not to destroy itself. At the present time the dysfunction of the old consciousness and the arising of the new are both accelerating. Paradoxically things are getting worse and bett! er at the same time, although the worse is more apparent because it makes so much noise. Devotees who have read all of Tolles books and audio tapes probably wont find new ideas or information here. But they may appreciate the refresher course --revisiting familiar concepts in a slightly different package. -- Gail Hudson From Publishers Weekly Some readers of this slim follow-up to the bestselling The Power of Now may be alarmed that the seemingly wise and gentle Tolle writes in the introduction that his new work can be seen as a revival for the present age of the oldest form of recorded spiritual teachings: the sutras of ancient India. Tolle explains that the Vedas and Upanishads, as well as the words of the Buddha, the parables of Jesus and the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching can be thought of as sutras in the sense that they share a brevity that does not engage the thinking mind more than is necessary. Like those great sacred works, Tolle continues, his writings come from inner stillness. Unlike those ancient sutras, however, they dont belong to any one religion or spiritual tradition, but are immediately accessible to the whole of humanity. Repeating what has become a familiar if no less ominous note in contemporary spiritual life, he adds that this unprecedented accessibility is due to the urgent need for humanity to wake up if we are not to destroy ourselves. It is the stillness that is our common Being-which is the formless container for what is happening in th...

-Titulo Original : Practicing The Power Of Now Essential Teachings, Meditations, And Exercises From The Power Of Now-Fabricante : New World Library-Descripcion Original: New York Times bestselling author Eckhart Tolle A key to happiness is living in the now Practice The Power of Now: If you, like many others, have benefited from the transformative experience of reading The Power of Now, you will want to own and read Practicing the Power of Now. Eckhart Tolle: Eckhart Tolle, a spiritual teacher and author who was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge, is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most inspiring spiritual teachers. His views go beyond any particular religion, doctrine, or guru. In The Power of Now and his subsequent book Practicing the Power of Now, Eckhart shares the enlightenment he himself experienced after a profound inner transformation radically changed the course of his life. Your path to enlightenment: Practicing the Power of Now extracts the essence from Eckhart’s teachings in his New York Times bestseller, The Power of Now (translated into 33 languages). Practicing the Power of Now shows us how to free ourselves from “enslavement to the mind.” The aim is to be able to enter into and sustain an awakened state of consciousness throughout everyday life. Through meditations and simple techniques, Eckhart shows us how to quiet our thoughts, see the world in the present moment, and find a path to “a life of grace, ease, and lightness.” The next step in human evolution: Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have already helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening involves transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violence on our planet. Readers of other transformational self-help books such as The Four Agreements, The Miracle Morning, Braving the Wilderness, and The Book of Joy will want to read Practicing the Power of Now. Review This manual-style book instantly dives into Eckhart Tolles principles of living in the moment, which could be a jarring experience for readers who havent read his preceding book, The Power of Now. For the initiated, though, this makes an excellent companion guide--rich in exercises and meditations to help readers get out of their minds so they can live more peacefully in their bodies. Sometimes its hard to fathom what on earth Tolle is talking about: To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of feeling-realization is enlightenment. Be patient. All concepts will be revealed (or at least more carefully explained). Ultimately, Tolle leads readers into a new form of thinking (or actually not thinking) that erases the consuming habits of waiting, worrying, and being in fear. The first step is ending the delusion of time. He asks, Are you always trying to get somewhere other than where you are? ... Is most of your doing just a means to an end? If so, Tolle has a book full of advice for you. As simplistic as this may sound, Tolles work has spiritual merit and depth, especially for frantic Westerners who find their lives diminished by packed schedules and busy-ness. --Gail Hudso...

Coffey’s TODAY show website story about photographer Lori Fusaro’s work with senior shelter pets.

The Power of Now explores these issues in depth and uncovers fresh ways of living a more fulfilling life. Now available to Spanish-language readers, the book shows how a combination of Buddhist principles, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory can connect the reader to the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

El significado de la entrega, Agradecimientos, CHAPTER 1 USTED NO ES SU MENTE EL MAYOR OBSTÁCULO PARA LA ILUMINACIÓN La iluminacion, ¿que es eso? Un mendigo habia estado sentado mas treinta años a la orilla de un camino. Un dia paso por alli un desconocido. Una monedita, murmuro mecanicamente el mendigo, alargando su vieja gorra de beisbol. No tengo nada que darle, dijo el desconocido. Despues pregunto: Que es eso en lo que esta sentado? Nada, contesto el mendigo. Solo una caja vieja. Me he sentado en ella desde que tengo memoria. ¿Alguna vez ha mirado lo que hay dentro?, pregunto el desconocido. No dijo el mendigo. ¿Para que? No hay nada dentro. Échele una ojeada, insistio el desconocido. El mendigo se las arreglo para abrir la caja. Con asombro, incredulidad y alborozo, vio que la caja estaba llena de oro. Yo soy el desconocido que no tiene nada que darle y que le dice que mire dentro. No dentro de una caja como en la parabola, sino en un lugar aun mas cercano, dentro de usted mismo. ¡Pero yo no soy un mendigo!, le oigo decir. Los que no han encontrado su verdadera riqueza, que es la alegria radiante del Ser y la profunda e inconmovible paz que la acompaña, son mendigos, incluso si tienen mucha riqueza material. Buscan afuera mendrugos de placer o de realizacion para lograr la aceptacion, la seguridad o el amor, mientras llevan dentro un tesoro que no solo incluye todas esas cosas sino que es infinitamente mayor que todo lo que el mundo pueda ofrecer. La palabra iluminacion evoca la idea de un logro sobrehu- mano y el ego quiere conservar las cosas asi, pero es simplemente el estado natural de sentir la unidad con el Ser. Es un estado de conexion con algo inconmensurable e indestructible, algo que, casi paradojicamente, es esencialmente usted y sin embargo es mucho mas grande que usted. Es encontrar su verdadera naturaleza mas alla del nombre y de la forma. La incapacidad de sentir esta conexion da lugar a la ilusion de la separacion, de usted mismo y del mundo que lo rodea. Entonces usted se percibe a si mismo, consciente o inconscientemente, como un fragmento aislado. Surge el miedo, y el conflicto interior y exterior se vuelve la norma. Me encanta la sencilla definicion de la iluminacion dada por Buda como el fin del sufrimiento. No hay nada sobrehumano en esto, ¿cierto? Por supuesto, como toda definicion, es incom-pleta. Solo dice lo que la iluminacion no es: no es sufrimiento. ¿Pero que queda cuan...

-Titulo Original : Storyworthy Engage, Teach, Persuade, And Change Your Life Through The Power Of Storytelling-Fabricante : New World Library-Descripcion Original: A five-time Moth GrandSLAM winner and bestselling novelist shows how to tell a great story - and why doing so matters. Whether we realize it or not, we are always telling stories. On a first date or job interview, at a sales presentation or therapy appointment, with family or friends, we are constantly narrating events and interpreting emotions and actions. In this compelling book, storyteller extraordinaire Matthew Dicks presents wonderfully straightforward and engaging tips and techniques for constructing, telling, and polishing stories that will hold the attention of your audience (no matter how big or small). He shows that anyone can learn to be an appealing storyteller, that everyone has something “storyworthy” to express, and, perhaps most important, that the act of creating and telling a tale is a powerful way of understanding and enhancing your own life. Review “With candor, humility, and bust-a-gut humor, Matthew Dicks shares his storytelling secrets and leads you up the stairs to tell yours. He already knows that they’re gems.” - Nichole Bernier, author of The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D. “Holy moly! Matthew Dicks is right - every one of us has a story to tell. And whether onstage or on the page, this master of the craft pulls us into his world, entertaining, instructing, and inspiring with every word.” - Susan Gregg Gilmore, author of Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen “Offers countless tips, exercises, and examples to get you on your way to better stories. Anyone who wants to take the stage, become a better writer, or simply tell better stories at Thanksgiving will benefit from Storyworthy.” - Jeff Vibes, filmmaker “I laughed, gasped, took notes, and carried this book around like a dear friend - because that’s exactly what a storyworthy book should be. As a novelist, I’ve studied my craft in countless ways, but never before have I seen its marrow revealed with such honest, approachable charisma. Matthew Dicks has written a perceptive companion for every person who has a story to tell - and don’t we all?” - Sarah McCoy, internationally and New York Times-bestselling author of Marilla of Green Gables and The Baker’s Daughter “Matthew Dicks is a master storyteller and an incredible teacher. Most importantly, he is an artist who paints his verbal canvases with moments that change how his listeners see the world. Matt taught me about the hidden arc and architecture that lie behind every well-told story and I’ve incorporated his techniques into innumerable courtroom presentations - and told several stories before live audiences - all thanks to Matt.” - Ron Apter, trial lawyer “When I gave Matthew Dicks a recurring spot on my podcast, I billed him as ‘the most interesting man in the world.’ He really has lived quite a life. But what’s truly interesting is not necessarily what he’s experienced but how he makes you, the audience, experience it through him.” - Mike Pesca, NPR contributor and host of Slate magazine’s daily podcast, The Gist “Learning from Matthew Dicks has truly been life changing both for me as a public storyteller and for my high school students. Matt’s practical advice and techniques can be applied immediately, and that’s what Matt encourages and inspires you to do. Start crafting your best stories right now: learn a little about yourself in the process and begin living a life of yes.” - Jennifer Bonaldo, English teacher, Amity High School, Bethany, Connecticut “Matthew Dicks is not only a master storyteller; he is a master teacher. His clear and detailed instructions allow him to brilliantly give his techniques and tricks of the storytelling trade to his students. I personally benefited immensely from Matt’s workshop, and I continue to use his techniques both in my professional work as a rabbi and teacher and onstage at Moth StorySLAMs.” - Rabbi Ira Ebbin, Congregation Ohav Sholom in Merrick, New York, and Moth StorySLAM winner “I h...
