Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Louis Roy criticizes two different attitudes concerning our desires: either we are wary of our desires because of their potentially negative effects, or we try to satisfy as many of them as we can. Both attitudes focus on desires without examining the issue of desire. The solution is neither to suspect nor to multiply our various desires, but rather to intensify desire. Once desire has intensified, we can accept our desires and identify some of them as priorities for us to fulfill. We will then proceed not only with motivation but also with detachment, and therein lies the key to happiness. Any human being wishes to be granted personal value as a unique individual worthy of respect. And we long to be desired by the person or persons we desire. Moreover, because of our infinitude, we are able to wonder if an infinite being, whom we respect without reserve, can find us desirable. The author explores this basic concern and describes the relationship of mutual desire between Jesus and his first disciples. Thus, this book will appeal to educated readers interested in spirituality, psychology, literature, catechesis, and pastoral ministry.

Book excerpt: “A masterpiece. . . . It teaches us how not to fear and repress, but to rechannel and harness the most powerful energies of life toward freedom and bliss.” —ROBERT THURMAN It is common in both Buddhism and Freudian psychoanalysis to treat desire as if it is the root of all suffering and problems, but psychiatrist Mark Epstein believes this to be a grave misunderstanding.In his controversial defense of desire, he makes clear that it is the key to deepening intimacy with ourselves, each other, and our world. Proposing that spiritual attainment does not have to be detached from intimacy or eroticism, Open to Desire begins with an exploration of the state of dissatisfaction that causes us to cling to irrational habits. Dr. Epstein helps readers overcome their own fears of desire so that they can more readily bridge the gap between self and other, cope with feelings of incompletion, and get past the perception of others as objects. Freed from clinging and shame, desire’s spiritual potential can then be opened up.

Book excerpt: Sexual issues are incredibly common - yet very poorly understood. Women complain of low desire. Men lose their erections. Or they prefer to stay at home and masturbate to their favorite porn. Couples quietly suffer in sexless marriages for innumerable years. They only talk in hushed voices about their humdrum, tedious sexual routines. People who are deeply in love and attracted to each other are baffled as to why their sex lives aren't thriving. Sex therapists, doctors, and other experts each present their own separate solutions to these issues. Yet they largely focus on technique and one-size-fits-all approaches - never getting to the heart of what people are really looking for in their unique sexual connections. Renowned sex and relationship coaches Danielle Harel Ph.D. and Celeste Hirschman M.A have worked with thousands of people over the past 15 years, helping them thrive in their sexual lives. As the creators of the Somatica Method - a boldly interpersonal, experiential framework practice - their approach challenges the one-size-fits-all solutions of other therapy methods. In their new book "Coming Together", they walk you down the path of finding your unique needs, and through that, enhance your compatibility with your partner. Fast-paced, full of real-life examples, inspiring and educational, this book invites you to discover and accept who you are as a sexual person. Best of all - you get the tools to teach your partner what you want to feel from sex, as well as what you want to do during sex. Take the leap and start your intimate journey to the profound sexual connection you've always dreamed of today. Through this book you will: Find out what makes sex hot - it's not what you think Learn how hot sex can cure men's, women's and couple's top sexual dysfunctions (including ED, low desire, sexless marriage, and porn dependence) Share your desires with your partner in a way that will increase intimacy without pressure Celebrate each other's desires as a way to increase intimacy Gain tools for teaching partners how to really turn you on Increase compatibility through bridging and/or turn-taking

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God, Sexuality and the Self is a new venture in systematic theology. Sarah Coakley invites the reader to re-conceive the relation of sexual desire and the desire for God and - through the lens of prayer practice - to chart the intrinsic connection of this relation to a theology of the Trinity. The goal is to integrate the demanding ascetical undertaking of prayer with the recovery of lost and neglected materials from the tradition and thus to reanimate doctrinal reflection both imaginatively and spiritually. What emerges is a vision of human longing for the triune God which is both edgy and compelling: Coakley's théologie totale questions standard shibboleths on 'sexuality' and 'gender' and thereby suggests a way beyond current destructive impasses in the churches. The book is clearly and accessibly written and will be of great interest to all scholars and students of theology.

Book excerpt: This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: Book 1 - In today’s world, our perception fundamentally shapes our reality. This explains why two people can have entirely different interpretations of the same event. The meaning we assign to events stems from our beliefs and emotions. So, can altering our perception actually change our world? If so, how can this be achieved? And if it's possible, how can we mold our reality to create a better one? What we see defines what we believe, and what we believe dictates what we consider true. Our sense of truth then becomes our reality. Thus, our perception molds our reality. Although we share the same world, we each focus on our own perceived truths. Even though everyone has eyes, each person views the world in a unique way. It’s easy to find what we’re looking for, but harder to notice what we’re not searching for. For example, one person might see a glass as half-full while another sees it as half-empty. Book 2 - Gender does influence persuasion, largely due to the emotional and intellectual differences between men and women. It is often believed that the direct, straightforward approach typically associated with men is more effective in persuasion than the emotionally nuanced methods often attributed to women. One of the key differences between men and women is that men are primarily visually stimulated. This trait, while sometimes criticized as shallow, is rooted in our DNA and evolution. Historically, men were driven to seek healthy partners for reproduction, as visual cues were the primary way to assess health before the advent of modern medicine. In the days of early human society, a woman of child-bearing age who appeared healthy was naturally attractive to men, as it signaled good prospects for offspring.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2014 Silver Independent Publisher Book Award in the relationship category and winner of the Spirituality and Practice Award as one of the best spiritual books of 2013! The search for inner peace is often met with what seems like a conflicting path– the irresistible pull of love and connection with others to which we are drawn. Reconciling these opposites, John Amodeo shows how spirituality and vibrant relationships are identical. He says that Buddha’s concept of the root of suffering is misunderstood. It is not desire that causes suffering; desire is the fire that springs from the basic life force. Drawing upon the science of attachment theory, Amodeo illuminates how the root of our suffering is disconnection from ourselves and others, which is fueled by clinging to what doesn't serve us In a conversational tone, Amodeo presents relationship as sacred experience. He teaches how to welcome desire mindfully rather than suppress it and how to overcome fear of failure in relating. He also discusses meditation as self-intimacy and holding ourselves with loving-kindness. Lastly, he explores the role of community in spiritual awakening and the issue of whom to trust—our guru or ourselves?

Book excerpt: This book is an anthropological study of play-acting. Acting on the stage is seen as an example of social action in general. The focus is on the playing of Shakespeare, and on the players' use of and reflections upon time, space, plot, and acting. In her new book, Kirsten Hastrup aims at a renewed understanding of action and motivation within any social setting. By listening to such experts of action as the players of Shakespeare, we achieve a comprehensive reappraisal of current notions of human agency. In the process, we are offered a set of methodological tools and analytical concepts that may enrich future anthropological analysis of individual actions in their social context. The work is an unprecedented approach to action and acting. For anthropologists and other social or cultural scientists, Hastrup offers a fresh perspective on performance, and on the construction of the analytical object. For theatre historians and dramatists, the combination of detailed (ethnographic) analys

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Toxic King’s Guide to Love & Relationships is the ultimate playbook for anyone tired of being told to “just be yourself” and “find the one.” This isn’t your average relationship manual with the same old recycled advice about sacrificing for love or giving until it hurts. Instead, this guide cuts through the fluff, showing you how to approach dating and relationships with strategy, self-respect, and unbreakable standards. Because here’s the truth: in the modern world, love is a game, and if you’re not playing with purpose, you’re playing to lose. This book isn’t here to teach you how to be perfect for someone else; it’s here to help you prioritize yourself—your goals, your ambitions, your peace—before anyone else. With a bold, no-nonsense approach, The Toxic King’s Guide gives you the tools to keep your emotions in check, recognize red flags before they turn into heartache, and keep the upper hand, whether you’re navigating first dates, long-term commitments, or learning when it’s time to walk away. You’ll learn the art of controlled detachment, the power of boundaries, and the importance of holding onto your own identity. Each chapter is packed with the mindset shifts you need to stop chasing, start leading, and build relationships that actually add value to your life—not ones that drain it. This book doesn’t shy away from hard truths or bold perspectives; it’s an unapologetic guide for those who know that respect, power, and confidence come first, and that true loyalty starts with yourself. Whether you’re tired of losing yourself in relationships or just looking to elevate your game, The Toxic King’s Guide to Love & Relationships reminds you that you’re the prize. Love is part of the journey, but self-respect is the destination. So, are you ready to master the art of dating on your terms? Because this book isn’t about settling for anything less than you deserve—it’s about demanding more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other Sanskrit work approaches the Bhagavadgita in the influence it has exerted in the West. Philosophers such as Emerson and the other New England Transcendentalists were deeply affected by its insights, a dozen or more scholars, including Annie Besant and Mahatma Gandhi, have attempted its translation, and thousands of individuals struggling with the problems divided loyalties have found comfort and wisdom in its pages. The Bhagavadgita ("Song of the Lord") tells of the young and virtuous Prince Arjuna who is driven to lead his forces into battle against an opposing army composed of close relatives and others whom he loves. The Lord Krsna, appearing in the poem as Arjuna's friend and charioteer, persuades him that he must do battle, and we see Arjuna changing from revulsion at the thought of killing members of his family to resignation and awareness of duty, to manly acceptance of his role as warrior and defender of his kingdom. The Bhagavadgita is a self-contained episode in the Mahabharata, a vast collection of epics, legends, romances, theology, and metaphysical doctrine that reflects the history and culture of the whole of Hindu civilization. The present edition forms a part of J. A. B. van Buitenen's widely acclaimed translation of this great work. Here English and Sanskrit are printed on facing pages, enabling those with some knowledge of Sanskrit to appreciate van Buitenen's accurate rendering of the intimate, familial tone and directness of the original poem.

Book excerpt: Personal acceptance can be difficult, especially when you have to overcome family troubles, personal traumas, and tests. Dealing with low self-esteem, not having any self-worth, and living without an understanding of Gods love is a recipe for mediocrity and settling for the crumbs instead of pressing into the fullness of Gods blessingsbecause God has so much in store for those who love, trust, and obey him. In Embrace, author Olympia Pringle takes you through her own personal journey of struggle to embrace herself, what God says about her, and all that he has in store for her. Olympias story is a story of mental transformation, heart purification, and walking in revelation, and she shows you how even though it is difficult to pull yourself out of the pit, God always holds out his hand to pull you up and out. In order to live a life of fullness, we have to embrace the pain of the past, the chaos or the mundaneness of the present, and the uncertainty of the futureand in God we can do these things confidently and boldly. He will help us to overcome doubt, shame, guilt, and fear. And as we walk daily with the Lord and continue to surrender, He will give us the courage and boldness to live the life He promised for us.
