Download or read book Why I Write written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
Download or read book Intuition written by Osho and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover your own deep well of wisdom in Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic—from one of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. Intuition deals with the difference between the intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit. Logic is how the mind knows reality, intuition is how the spirit experiences reality. Osho’s discussion of these matters is wonderfully lucid, occasionally funny, and thoroughly engrossing. All people have a natural capacity for intuition, but often social conditioning and formal education work against it. People are taught to ignore their instincts rather than to understand and use them as a foundation for individual growth and development—and in the process they undermine the very roots of the innate wisdom that is meant to flower into intuition. In this volume, Osho pinpoints exactly what intuition is and gives guidelines for how to identify its functioning in others and ourselves. You will learn to distinguish between genuine intuitive insight and the “wishful thinking” that can often lead to mistaken choices and unwanted consequences. Includes many specific exercises and meditations designed to nourish and support each individual’s natural intuitive gifts. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

With that understanding, Wilkes then helps you develop your simple Beatitude exercise regimen.

The book also contains photos characteristic of metaphors used in the book as well as other ancillary items.
Book Synopsis This Business of Living by : Cesare Pavese
Download or read book This Business of Living written by Cesare Pavese and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1949 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 23rd, 1950, Pavese, Italy's greatest modern writer received the coveted Strega Award for his novel Among Women Only. On August 26th, in a small hotel in his home town of Turin, he took his own life. Shortly before his death, he methodically destroyed all his private papers. His diary is all that remains and for this the contemporary reader can be grateful. Contemporary speculation attributed this tragedy to either an unhappy love aff air with the American film star Constance Dawling or his growing disillusionment with the Italian Communist Party. His Diaries, however, reveal a man whose art was his only means of repressing the specter of suicide which had haunted him since childhood: an obsession that fi nally overwhelmed him. As John Taylor notes, he possessed something much more precious than a political theory: a natural sensitivity to the plight and dignity of common people, be they bums, priests, grape-pickers, gas station attendants, offi ce workers, or anonymous girls picked up on the street (though to women, the author could--as he admitted--be as misogynous as he was aff ectionate). Bitter and incisive, This Business of Living, is both moving and painful to read and stands with James Joyce's Letters and Andre Gide's Journals as one of the great literary testaments of the twentieth century. Cesare Pavese (1908-1950), was educated in Turin. In 1930 he began to contribute essays on American literature to La Cultura, of which he later became editor. In 1935 he was imprisoned for anti-fascist activities. This experience formed the basis of The Political Prisoner. Between 1936 and 1940 nine of his books were published in Italy, these included novels, short stories, poetry and essays. His books have been fi lmed and dramatized, and translated into many languages. John Taylor, a frequent contributor to the Times Literary Supplement, Context, the Yale Review, the Antioch Review, the Michigan Quarterly Review, and Chelsea, has introduced numerous European writers and poets to English readers, often for the first time. Some of his works include The Apocalypse Tapestries, Paths to Contemporary French Literature (Volumes 1 and 2) and Into the Heart of European Poetry.
Download or read book Letters to Louise written by Louise Hay and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated Edition, with a Revised Cover! "This book is a collection of letters I’ve received and answered over the years from people all over the world. The letters express deep concerns about 20 different topics—including addictions, dis-ease, family relationships, the inner child, and parenting, just to name a few. Almost all of the people who have written to me have wanted to change themselves—and their world—in some way. In my replies, I’ve tried to be the catalyst that helps these individuals accomplish their goals. I think of myself as a stepping-stone on a pathway of self-discovery. Perhaps you will see some aspect of yourself in these pages. It is my belief that by reading about other people’s challenges and aspirations, we can see ourselves and our own problems in different ways. Sometimes we can use what we learn from others to make changes in our own lives. I hope this book will allow you to realize that you, too, have the strength within to change, and to find solutions on your own—that is, to seek the answers that are within you." — Louise L. Hay
Book Synopsis The First 20 Hours by : Josh Kaufman
Download or read book The First 20 Hours written by Josh Kaufman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.
Download or read book Outline written by Rachel Cusk and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A luminous, powerful novel that establishes Rachel Cusk as one of the finest writers in the English language A man and a woman are seated next to each other on a plane. They get to talking—about their destination, their careers, their families. Grievances are aired, family tragedies discussed, marriages and divorces analyzed. An intimacy is established as two strangers contrast their own fictions about their lives. Rachel Cusk's Outline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and stark, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing during one oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her students in storytelling exercises. She meets other visiting writers for dinner and discourse. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her neighbor from the plane. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves: their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face a great loss. Outline takes a hard look at the things that are hardest to speak about. It brilliantly captures conversations, investigates people's motivations for storytelling, and questions their ability to ever do so honestly or unselfishly. In doing so it bares the deepest impulses behind the craft of fiction writing. This is Rachel Cusk's finest work yet, and one of the most startling, brilliant, original novels of recent years.

Download or read book Long Life Learning written by Michelle R. Weise and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visionary guide for the future of learning and work Long Life Learning: Preparing for Jobs That Don’t Even Exist Yet offers readers a fascinating glimpse into a near-future where careers last 100 years, and education lasts a lifetime. The book makes the case that learners of the future are going to repeatedly seek out educational opportunities throughout the course of their working lives — which will no longer have a beginning, middle, and end. Long Life Learning focuses on the disruptive and burgeoning innovations that are laying the foundation for a new learning model that includes clear navigation, wraparound and funding supports, targeted education, and clear connections to more transparent hiring processes. Written by the former chief innovation officer of Strada Education Network’s Institute for the Future of Work, the book examines: How will a dramatically extended lifespan affect our careers? How will more time in the workforce shape our educational demands? Will a four-year degree earned at the start of a 100-year career adequately prepare us for the challenges ahead? Perfect for anyone with an interest in the future of education and Clayton Christensen’s theories of disruptive innovation, Long Life Learning provides an invaluable glimpse into a future that many of us have not even begun to imagine.
Book Synopsis Knowing God and Understanding the Enemy by : R.J. Wilkowski
Download or read book Knowing God and Understanding the Enemy written by R.J. Wilkowski and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author R. J. Wilkowski spent nearly two decades struggling with his faith and belief system, studying a large variety of ideas, beliefs, and evidence throughout human history, both biblical and nonbiblical. He’d developed a list of questions centering on spirituality. He wanted to know why life is so hard. Who is God, really? What does God want from us? And how do we know if it’s God who is speaking? In Knowing God and Understanding the Enemy, he seeks to answer these questions while showing God is much more than just a spiritual guide to help you maneuver through life. Wilkowski describes the types of struggles people experience. He explains the different facets of the living God, how he relates to you, and the varied forms in which he works in your life. Finally, Wilkowski addresses the devil’s schemes to destroy anything that resembles Christ. He tells how Satan has been using the same tactics for millenniums to bring fear, shame, and doubt into your life. Knowing God and Understanding the Enemy discusses how to avoid Satan’s tactics and truly know and trust the love and power of the living God.
Book Synopsis CHRISTIAN LIFE COACHING by : Kit H. Lui
Download or read book CHRISTIAN LIFE COACHING written by Kit H. Lui and published by Phoenix Consulting. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thank you for taking the time to read this book. This book, Christian Life Coaching - The Intersection of Fath, Psychology and Life Coaching and Overcoming ADHD and OCD, has been a labor of love for me. It represents my metaphorical personal journey of overcoming my mental disabilities by integrating Christianity, psychology and life coaching as holistic resources. It was an exploration of intellectual curiosity, spiritual faith and desire to unify these three areas of knowledge for practical use for Christians. For much too long these three areas of “expertise” developed separately and it took recent academia to explore these themes as an interdisciplinary approach. This book is for Christians and “non-Christians” to use as a guide, explanation and practical tool to overcome ADHD and OCD specifically, and generally to achieve personal transformation and growth as humans living our time in this world as material beings. Hopefully, the discussion will be persuasive for both Christians and the secular world of cognitive behavioral psychology. I am not an expert in Christian theology nor in pastoral counseling, nor a clinical psychologist, nor a professional psychiatrist. What I know is what happened to me on my personal journey to overcome ADHD and OCD. I was seeking intellectual justification for what worked for me. I hope this will be useful for the reader of my book. However, this theory or life coaching practice has not been tested scientifically nor in any quantifiable experiments. We leave this task for further research. I am a practicing lawyer with over 25 years of experience in private law practice in Canada and as in-house legal counsel for Hong Kong companies. I am a Christian and have been since 2011. My interest slowly moved in the direction of life coaching as an outlet for my frustrations as a lawyer. We tend to give legal and business advice in a rational manner. However, I saw that myself, clients and corporate stakeholders that I dealt with needed something special and not necessarily legal solutions for their business and personal problems. This solution is related to their holistic personalities which became clearly visible under stress and personal conflict. I knew that lawyers by training were not equipped, nor should they be with life coaching tools from a Christin perspective. Thus, I thought the answer would be to categorize it as a new discipline or profession called Christian Life Coaching. In my exploration and pursuit of writing this book, I can across the idea of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to research and seek answers to our questions on Christian life coaching and how AI can be used as a tool to assist clients. I started to use the POE app (readily available in app stores) to assist in the writing of this book. Much of the content is taken from my KitluilifeBot on POE. I created this Bot from the perspective of a Christian life coach reflecting some of the principles described in this book. Please feel free to explore on your own. In fact, the attached Appendices are a product of such questions directed to KitLuiLifeBot and is useful for common questions to ask a Christian life coach. I hope this book will transform your life, make you a stronger Christian, and help you to deal with bad habits learned in your past. This is a lot to expect so be patient and I hope the journey is worth the effort. I know this book has helped me, my colleagues, Christian brothers, secular friends and clients. As a Christian life coach, I have observed that the intersection of faith, psychology, and life coaching holds immense potential for transformation and healing. Through the combination of these three elements, individuals can experience holistic growth and align their lives with God's purpose. Firstly, it is crucial to acknowledge that Christian life coaching is not limited to a denominational categorization but encompasses all those who profess their faith in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This inclusive approach allows for a diverse range of individuals to benefit from the guidance and support offered by a Christian life coach. One of the key aspects emphasized in Christian life coaching is the centrality of God. By making God the focus of coaching, individuals are guided towards aligning their lives with His will and experiencing His transformative power. This approach acknowledges that human goals, dreams, aspirations, and gifts often come from God and can be aligned with His purpose. Moreover, Christian life coaching recognizes the importance of integrating psychological insights with biblical teachings. This integration allows individuals to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, navigate their emotions, and develop effective coping mechanisms. By critically evaluating and integrating psychological approaches with biblical principles, individuals can find healing and transformation. Creating a safe and non-judgmental space is also essential in Christian life coaching. By actively listening, empathizing, and offering support based on both psychological insights and biblical principles, life coaches can facilitate individuals' inner exploration and healing journey. Encouraging clients to rely on the power of prayer, seek solace in scripture, and incorporate spiritual practices further enhances their healing process. As Christian life coaches, we strive to model authenticity and transparency in our own faith journey. Sharing our personal experiences of relying on God's guidance and seeking His healing can inspire and encourage clients to deepen their own faith and trust in God. In conclusion, Christian life coaching, at the intersection of faith, psychology, and life coaching, offers a transformative and holistic approach to personal growth. By integrating psychological insights with biblical principles, relying on prayer and scripture, and creating a safe space for individuals to explore their inner struggles, Christian life coaches guide clients towards true healing and transformation. This unique combination enables individuals to align their lives with God's purpose and experience the abundant life He desires for them. Also, I would like to briefly describe what this book does not do for the general reader. Mostly, this is the author's personal narrative and journey of overcoming mental disabilities through the integration of Christianity, psychology, and life coaching. Hopefully, my experiences and insights will help others on their own transformational paths. The purpose of this book is not to provide scientific evidence and research to support the theories and practices discussed in the book. We will leave this task to others who are more capable than me in this area of expertise. 13
