It is illustrated in a fresh and modern way with a touch of abstract and so should appeal to a wider audience. With hints of social and human psychology, spirituality combinded with creativity - it just scratches each issue on the surface. The book doesn't impose any strong views or lengthy "deep" writing to bore, but is says enough - acting as a catalyst to encourage deeper thought, reflection and discussion. "Themes Of Life.... A simple but Spiritual, Creative and Psychological approach to tackling some key issues which we face, In Human relationships & in Society today"
The head space that one has is the back office to all actions and reactions following an experience. Now, let it be known that the time frame between the experience and the response relies on the back office to generate chatter that takes place in autopilot. Further, when we slow down the gap between the experience and the reaction the chatter becomes a wiser chatter. the wise chatter is referred to as Mindfulness. I decided to document my mindful chatter to open up the secrets of the back office. It involved thinking out aloud. the hardest think was keeping it in raw form. I learnt a thing or two about my self beliefs.
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'In story after page-turning story, Lives of the Stoics brings ancient philosophers to life.' - David Epstein, bestselling author of Range 'Wonderful' - Chris Bosh, two-time NBA Champion For millennia, Stoicism has been the ancient philosophy that attracts those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. And no wonder: its embrace of self-mastery, virtue and indifference to that which we cannot control has much to offer those grappling with today's chaotic world. But who were the Stoics? In this book, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman offer a fresh approach to understanding Stoicism through the lives of the people who practiced it - from Cicero to Zeno, Cato to Seneca, Diogenes to Marcus Aurelius. Through short biographies of all the famous, and lesser-known, Stoics, this book will show what it means to live stoically, and reveal the lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. The result is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in search of living a good life.
There is an art to stillness and silence - its almost a religious experience. So, take a moment to re-align your thinking and recognise the gifts that are around you. Nothing is more valuable than the here and now - in case you hadn't noticed.

From Kathmandu to Toronto, what to do with waste has become a major problem. In the UK this problem is dealt with by public inquiries. These tend to involve emotive issues where human energy becomes embroiled passionately, to satisfy personal desires. The author deals with these issues by introducing the reader to the philosophy of an American scientist and philosopher, Charles Sanders Peirce, whose particular interest was logic - 'the science of drawing conclusions': the greatest need of inquiries By providing a case study of one such planning inquiry, the author considers aesthetic, instrumental and scientific arguments which are connected to Peirce's three categories: experiencer's feelings (Firstness), actions (Secondness) and thoughts (Thirdness) as these refer to something outside the self.Traditionally the pursuit of philosophy was regarded as leading to wisdom through investigating man's nature and his relationship to the world. Today the call is for relevance, a view captured by John Dewey's insistence on how philosophy can be put to good use within a culture. As a student of Peirce, as well as an educational theorist and philosopher in his own right, Dewey's work has had an important bearing on landscape aesthetics. The author follows his example. He also relates the issues of the inquiry to those in ecological ethics, showing how arguments can be used to defend one's own piece of landscape threatened by developments.

Nonfiction. Philosophy. Personal Transformation. Inspiration. Spirituality. Self-Help. Yoga for the Mind is Slow Thought for a Fast Life. We are constituted to think and reflect, to query and question, to seek answers and not stop at the answers we find, pushing further and further on our quest for meaning and insight into the big and the small, into first things and last. In other words, we are philosophical creatures. How, then, can we achieve more satisfying, rich, creative, and fulfilled lives as creatures of thought and reflection, as fundamentally philosophical beings? This question lies at the heart of YOGA FOR THE MIND--an intensely fruitful and enriching philosophical supplement to the daily diet of existence.

This collection of book reviews from the pen of Michael Milston brings together the great minds of twentieth-century Jewish philosophy and offers up critical but compassionate interpretations of their works. Milston's approach is not neutral but he has recognised and put into practice that most important aspect of book reviewing: 'the sublimation of the ego of the reviewer to the book'. The result is a body of essays that refuse to be in conflict or collusion, preferring a dialogic relationship with influential philosophers such as Fackenheim, Amery and Hannah Arendt. A Critical Review is a profound and eloquent introduction to post-Holocaust Jewish thought.
