This is a collection of 100 short essays, designed to teach the reader simple strategies for living a more fulfilled and peaceful life. The author claims that everyone can learn to put things in perspective by making the small daily changes such as: resist the urge to criticize; choose being kind over being right; ask yourself the question "will this matter a year from now?"; do something nice for someone else - and don't tell anyone else about it; and listen to your feelings. Richard Carlson aims to offer ways to make actions more peaceful and to help the reader be calm and stress-free.
In this indispensable handbook, Richard Carlson demonstrates how we can change everything in our lives – earn more money, meet new friends, get a new job – yet still feel dissatisfied. Happiness, he says, is not 'out there' but within, a state of mind that is independent of circumstance: 'If you begin to see that your thoughts are not the real thing – they're just thoughts and as thoughts they can't hurt you – your entire life will begin to change today.' Carlson's step-by-step guide explains: • How your thoughts determine how you feel. • Why thinking about problems only makes them worse. • That thoughts come and go – you are free to choose at any moment which to hold on to and which to let go. • Straightforward methods for conquering depression. • How to dismiss negative thoughts and discover inner contentment. • How to overcome lifelong pessimism and start really living.
Focusing on Soviet culture and its social ramifications both during
the Soviet period and in the post-Soviet era, this book addresses
important themes associated with Sovietisation and socialisation in
the Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The book contains contributions from
scholars in a variety of disciplines, and looks at topics that have
been somewhat marginalised in contemporary studies of Central Asia,
including education, anthropology, music, literature and poetry,
film, history and state-identity construction, and social
transformation. It examines how the Soviet legacy affected the
development of the republics in Central Asia, and how it continues
to affect the society, culture and polity of the region. Although
each state in Central Asia has increasingly developed its own way,
the book shows that the states have in varying degrees retained the
influence of the Soviet past, or else are busily establishing new
political identities in reaction to their Soviet legacy, and in
doing so laying claim to, re-defining, and reinventing pre-Soviet
and Soviet images and narratives. Throwing new light and presenting
alternate points of view on the question of the Soviet legacy in
the Soviet Central Asian successor states, the book is of interest
to academics in the field of Russian and Central Asian Studies.
