Jy wil asem skep en die mooi dinge raaksien. Maar soms raak die lewe
dol en jy erg gestres. Bewustelikheid (mindfulness) en meditasie kan
mens help om met nuwe oë na die wêreld te kyk.
Johannes de Villiers vertel die stories van gewone mense wat geleer het
hoe om beter interpersoonlike verhoudings te hê, 'n positiewe bydrae
tot die wêreld te maak, hul woede en stres beter te bestuur en die
wonderskone in elke oomblik - ook die moeilikes - raak te sien. Dit kan
ook jou storie wees.
Bestselling author, life coach and sociologist Martha Beck explains why 'integrity' - being in harmony with ourselves - is the key to a meaningful and joyful life
In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us-people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits-all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.
Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. She shows how to read our internal signals that lead us towards our true path, and to recognize what we actually yearn for versus what our culture sells us.
With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist, life coach and human being to help readers to uncover what integrity looks like in their own lives. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that not only will change the direction of our lives, but bring us to a place of genuine happiness.

Collaboration The Mind's Eye is a collaboration between the
artist's emotional response to the poems and the immediacy of the
poet's reaction to nature and personal encounters. The Poet Gail
Gowers Cotton is a member of the Poetry Society and the British
Haiku Society. Her poems have appeared in the Societies' journals
as well as in other specialist magazines. She "scatters" her work
by leaving poems on buses, in cafes and tucked into library books.
The Mind's Eye is her second book. Her inspiration comes from
nature and personal encounters including memories of Ireland,
Africa, North Wales and visits to Sydenham Hill Woods, Dulwich
Picture Gallery and the Horniman Museum in South London, where she
now lives. The Artist Pat Keay graduated as a painter at the
Edinburgh College of Art in 1971. She has worked as an artist and
designer in Scotland, Kenya and London and now lives in Worthing.
Read more on www.patkeay.com. The illustrations come from Pat's
spontaneous reaction to the essence, rather than the detail, of a
particular Haiku.
