Book excerpt: Emotions are not a mysterious soup in your head! This book dissects happiness into our individual emotions based on their evolutionary or biological purpose. This dissection reveals many breakthrough insights: you only fall in love with strangers; women only fall in love with men of equal-or-higher rank; men fall out of love 4 years after meeting a woman; you only envy former peers – like siblings and classmates; you only feel humor when others make a mistake you could make, a mid-life crisis occurs when your rank plateaus and you stop feeling pride; we say please and thank you so others don’t feel humiliation; we only cry because we’re lonely.

This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Happiness, like health, is our natural state of being. Health is not a burden for us unlike its oppositedisease. Since we are most comfortable in our natural state we seek happiness which is not a burden. To be happy, what is needed is to eliminate unhappiness which is an intruder. It is similar to getting rid of a disease and health automatically makes its appearance. Unhappiness is an intruder and it intrudes as a penalty we have to pay for transgressing the law of creation. The law is that the creation is an integrated, interrelated organic whole just like a human body. Every cell works for the benefit of the whole body and the body does everything to protect and preserve each and every cell resulting in happy, harmonious coexistence. We transgress this law and create disharmony by feeling and acting as independent, separate, isolated entities from the rest of the creation. Thus we are violating the law because of our ignorance. Unhappiness is the penalty we pay for transgressing the law that the whole of the creation is an integrated, interrelated organic whole. The remedy: To be happy we should live in conformity with the law of creation namely, that the creation is an integrated, interrelated organic whole. To live in conformity with the law we have to bring about a cognitive change in our thinking and the resulting changed thinking should be followed by a transformation in our lives. The change requires us to become more and more inclusive by developing divine qualities like kindness, compassion, sharing etc. and shunning the opposite qualities. We are free either to conform or resist the law of creation. The choice is ours. In summary we are responsible for our happiness.

Book excerpt: From award-winning Washington Post columnist Steven Petrow, a guide to finding joy even during life’s most difficult times AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER We all know what it’s like to experience the disappointments and sorrows of life. Unexpected challenges like layoffs, divorce, illness, and the death of a loved one can leave us hurting and isolated. Add to that the unending anxiety we feel at the state of the world—political strife and global upheavals—and we end up with a recipe for . . . joy? Yes, says journalist Steven Petrow, who has lived through all of those things, and arrived at a surprising conclusion: Joy is always present—in our everyday routines, in ties to those we care about, even in our grief. It may be easier to see and feel it during the good times, but we can learn to find joy even in the darkest days. All we need is a road map—and now we have one. In The Joy You Make, Petrow explores the many expressions of joy and shows readers how to find, cultivate, and share it. He takes us on a journey from the darkness of the Arctic to a frenetic cancer ward in Manhattan, a trip that includes his parents’ deaths, the breakup of his marriage, and his sister’s cancer diagnosis. Combining his personal experiences with research and expert interviews, Petrow asks (and answers) the question: “What if there was a way to find the joy in everything?” Come join him on his search, and make it yours.

Book Synopsis Schooling Reimagined by : David H Hargreaves
Download or read book Schooling Reimagined written by David H Hargreaves and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-11-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the society that lies ahead is to be a better and more ethical one, schools play a key role in its realisation. Since the 1944 Education Act implemented at the end of World War II in Europe, schooling became dominated by the idea of a meritocracy for its function in promoting social mobility. In this book, David Hargreaves explores ways in which schooling might be reimagined to strengthen the moral and ethical base of schooling, to cultivate in students the excellences of intellect and character that underlie deep happiness. Hargreaves emphasise the importance of happiness, excellence and civic friendship to reframe the aims of schooling, drawing on works from Emile Durkheim and Aristotle, and the lesser known studies of Carol Gilligan and Sybil Schwarzenbach. He explores how the rapidly changing nature of work is an important ethical ally by providing new time and space for building community cohesion and the growth of protest and social movements offers new opportunities by which young people can play active roles in the creation of an ethical society. Bringing together various areas of study usually kept apart, this book is novel in its exploration of schooling as a powerful source of change if we are to create a more ethical society that lies ahead.

Book Synopsis Happiness, Death, and the Remainder of Life by : Jonathan Lear
Download or read book Happiness, Death, and the Remainder of Life written by Jonathan Lear and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Separated by millennia, Aristotle and Sigmund Freud gave us disparate but compelling pictures of the human condition. But if, with Jonathan Lear, we scrutinize these thinkers' attempts to explain human behavior in terms of a higher principle--whether happiness or death--the pictures fall apart. Aristotle attempted to ground ethical life in human striving for happiness, yet he didn't understand what happiness is any better than we do. Happiness became an enigmatic, always unattainable, means of seducing humankind into living an ethical life. Freud fared no better when he tried to ground human striving, aggression, and destructiveness in the death drive, like Aristotle attributing purpose where none exists. Neither overarching principle can guide or govern "the remainder of life," in which our inherently disruptive unconscious moves in breaks and swerves to affect who and how we are. Lear exposes this tendency to self-disruption for what it is: an opening, an opportunity for new possibilities. His insights have profound consequences not only for analysis but for our understanding of civilization and its discontent.

Book Synopsis Ethics and Enjoyment in Late Medieval Poetry by : Jessica Rosenfeld
Download or read book Ethics and Enjoyment in Late Medieval Poetry written by Jessica Rosenfeld and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jessica Rosenfeld provides a history of the ethics of medieval vernacular love poetry by tracing its engagement with the late medieval reception of Aristotle. Beginning with a history of the idea of enjoyment from Plato to Peter Abelard and the troubadours, the book then presents a literary and philosophical history of the medieval ethics of love, centered on the legacy of the Roman de la Rose. The chapters reveal that 'courtly love' was scarcely confined to what is often characterized as an ethic of sacrifice and deferral, but also engaged with Aristotelian ideas about pleasure and earthly happiness. Readings of Machaut, Froissart, Chaucer, Dante, Deguileville and Langland show that poets were often markedly aware of the overlapping ethical languages of philosophy and erotic poetry. The study's conclusion places medieval poetry and philosophy in the context of psychoanalytic ethics, and argues for a re-evaluation of Lacan's ideas about courtly love.
Book Synopsis Love for the Aching Heart by : Bishop David E. Lewis
Download or read book Love for the Aching Heart written by Bishop David E. Lewis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to give an overview of the power of the love of God to those who are aching and craving for it and how we can help them reach their full potential in Christ. The church of the Living God has a tremendous responsibility to share his love to this dying world. Many people think that God doesnt love them, so they express the idea that people think that they are not important. They believed God thinks of them in the same way. Therefore, this book is written to let them know that God loves them regardless of their status in life. In order for us to operate in the spirit of love, the Holy Spirit must purify our hearts and motivate us to assist and respond to the situation of others. However, you must have a desire to love for love is a choice you must make. If you love, you must demonstrate the spirit of forgiveness. The first stage of forgiveness is the decision not to try to inflict a reciprocal amount of pain on anyone who caused you hurt. When I forgive you, I give up the right to hurt you back. When you hold fast to run unforgiving spirit toward another person, you tend to believe only bad things about them. You might think of them only in terms of the hurt they caused you, and you want to forget their humanity. This book sets forth the principle of love for those who are aching for it and teaches us to forgive as Christ also forgave us. You must be wholly submissive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
