Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hell realms, gods, and hungry ghosts—these are just a few of the images on the Buddhist wheel of life. In Awakening from the Daydream, discover how these ancient symbols are still relevant to our modern life. In Awakening from the Daydream, meditation teacher David Nichtern reimagines the ancient Buddhist allegory of the Wheel of Life. Famously painted at the entryway to Buddhist monasteries, the Wheel of Life encapsulates the entirety of the human situation. In the image of the Wheel we find a teaching about how to make sense of life and how to find peace within an uncertain world. Nichtern writes with clarity and humor, speaking to our contemporary society and its concerns and providing simple practical steps for building a mindful, compassionate, and liberating approach to living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glance around. Imagine that all the scenery beyond these words isn't real, nor are they. Instead, imagine that you're actually locked up in a jail cell, and the "reality" around you is nothing but a digitally created illusion generated by a microchip implanted in your brain. Would you rather continue dwelling in the comfortable world you've always known, even if it's not real, or would you prefer to pursue the mysterious truth about the terrible thing that has happened to you? This provocative premise lies at the heart of American Day Dream, a gripping techno-dystopian thriller by San Francisco author Margot Pepper. Set in the late decades of the 21st century, the book follows Ian, a successful graphic designer working for a big San Francisco biotech firm, on a neo-Orwellian quest to uncover the shocking truth behind his incarceration. After waking up one morning in a prison cell, delirious, confused, and being held without cause or explanation, Ian soon learns that he has somehow become a slave to his company, spending his nights in a jail cell on the 84th floor of his corporate office building, while being forced to go to work each day and act as if nothing has happened. Set against the backdrop of San Francisco's iconic landmarks, it is an entertaining futuristic love story that provides a critical and deeply reflective look at life in the information age. Guiding Ian on his quest is his alluring bohemian co-worker Robin, who slowly helps him to discover the shocking truth that his posh, gated-community life is nothing but a digitally generated illusion. He and thousands of other citizens like him have been locked up for decades, made to think they are living happy normal lives by virtual reality chips implanted in their brains firing hyper-REM sleep states, triggered by their mobile devices and interactive screens. Marginalized as a nut case by those who haven't "woken up" to their condition, Ian uncovers a world of sinister mind control, omnipresent surveillance, and the bartering of civil liberties for "the pursuit of happiness." It's a surreal world in which workers pay mortgages for virtual houses, furnish them with virtual products, and enjoy virtual vacations to offset global warming. At the heart of American Day Dream is the relationship between Ian and Robin. Robin attempts to seduce Ian into joining her in an underground rebellion of revolutionaries attempting to "jail-break" the technologically entranced public from their digital stupor and wake them up to the startling reality of their world. Yet before Ian can join her, he must grapple with a pressing question: is it more cruel to condemn his fellow inmates to an artificial life of blissful ignorance or to disrupt the seeming safety and comfort of their lives by rousing them from their day dream? As with any visionary fiction, American Day Dream paints a world that is only a slightly exaggerated version of our own--a world of people addicted to gadgets, mesmerized by the media, hooked on pharmaceuticals, and made to think that they have more control over their lives than they actually do. Pepper explores the suppressed psychological and economic truths of our times through an engaging revolutionary love story that highlights the Bay Area's cultural and scenic jewels. The tale delves into the darkness of our day, restoring light to an otherwise bleak landscape, and inspiring us to contemplate the direction we're heading in while there's still time to change it.

Only the most important women receive an invitation. But one daring young reporter is about to infiltrate this female-run secret society, whose bewitching members are caught up in a dark and treacherous business. From the author of Happy and You Know It. For years, rumors have swirled about an exclusive, women-only social club where the elite tastemakers of NYC meet. People in the know whisper all sorts of claims: Membership dues cost $1,000 a month. Last time Rihanna was in town, she stopped by and got her aura read. The women even handpicked the city's first female mayor. But no one knows for sure. That is, until journalist Jillian Beckley decides she's going to break into the club. With her career in freefall, Jillian needs a juicy scoop, and she has a personal interest in bringing these women down. But the deeper she gets into this new world—where billionaire "girlbosses" mingle with witchy Bohemians—the more Jillian learns that bad things happen to those who dare to question the club's motives or giggle at its outlandish rituals. The select group of women who populate the club may be far more powerful than she ever imagined. And far more dangerous too.

Magazine • Betches • Newsweek • Parade • New York Post Best Book of the Week A dark, witty page-turner about a struggling young musician who takes a job singing for a playgroup of overprivileged babies and their effortlessly cool moms, only to find herself pulled into their glamorous lives and dangerous secrets.... After her former band shot to superstardom without her, Claire reluctantly agrees to a gig as a playgroup musician for wealthy infants on New York's Park Avenue. Claire is surprised to discover that she is smitten with her new employers, a welcoming clique of wellness addicts with impossibly shiny hair, who whirl from juice cleanse to overpriced miracle vitamins to spin class with limitless energy. There is perfect hostess Whitney who is on the brink of social-media stardom and just needs to find a way to keep her flawless life from falling apart. Caustically funny, recent stay-at-home mom Amara who is struggling to embrace her new identity. And old money, veteran mom Gwen who never misses an opportunity to dole out parenting advice. But as Claire grows closer to the stylish women who pay her bills, she uncovers secrets and betrayals that no amount of activated charcoal can fix.

But, ultimately, this dazzling novel celebrates the unlikely bonds that form, and the power that can be unlocked, when a group of very different women is thrown together when each is at her most vulnerable.

Finalist for the NCIBA's Northern California Book Award in Poetry, 2017. Jean Day's DAYDREAM is a poetic interrogation, from the vantage point of a sonically minimalist and language-oriented form, of one's position in a world of simultaneous brutality, absurdity, and profundity. Situated in the time of the oil wars, poems from DAYDREAM meditate on the pleasures and anxieties of the mundane--idleness that nonetheless feels global reverberations of accelerated mortality lapping at its edges. Jean Day invents apoetic dream-logic with which to tenderly probe the realities of waking life. The day itself is a dream of a body, a personhood, and a planet to which we cling fast, if poorly, as we hurtle into the unknown. Jean Day's DAYDREAM is brilliantly astute, imaginative, and keen--let us not be 'deaf to its obvious aptness.' Day's discerning eye-mind upturns the world we think we live in by pondering and questioning and inviting the reader to share in the pleasure of 'beautiful problems, which / arise as toughened thought.' This attention, curiosity, and reverent regard for our everyday surrounds--here local, there global--is the book's tuning fork. DAYDREAM makes a meal 'amid the nutrionless corn' of daily modern life. Where 'So / much flowering is imitation, ' Day's writing blooms singularly.--Alli Warren For Day the poet, both world and lexicon come fully equipped; writing the poems, she encounters plethoras and embraces them, with stoic acceptance and realist skepticism. It is these that set the pace for these reveries and scintillations, and these that establish the volume's complex, restless mood. Questions are raised, doubts are entertained (and entertaining). Humor flashes, as does pathos, both piqued by conditions and contents of the world and by words that make stabs at referring to them. And all the while, judgment is withheld. It is this refusal to judge, the refusal to curtail encounter and response, that serves as the activist principle--the reality principle--propelling the works of DAYDREAM. This book is both provocative and miraculous.--Lyn Hejinian 'A bird shouldn't whinny / should it? Nature prefers/ certain limits, ' Jean Day writes in DAYDREAM, a feast of thinking that lays such limits out across its table as a main course. With a linguistic wit as punchy as Glen Baxter's, and an unparalleled sensitivity to American dictions that leaves some howling, some weeping, and others forever lost in thought, Day's poems have always tickled the early bird of English until it learned to whinny tomorrow's whinny. Never a misstep, DAYDREAM is just what its title promises: the stuff of reverie--that improbable book we have all, in some moment of exasperation with language, dreamt of finding, that we might hold it like fire under the feet of poetry itself.--Kit Schluter

Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY license. This interdisciplinary book contains 22 essays and interventions on rest and restlessness, silence and noise, relaxation and work. It draws together approaches from artists, literary scholars, psychologists, activists, historians, geographers and sociologists who challenge assumptions about how rest operates across mind, bodies, and practices. Rest’s presence or absence affects everyone. Nevertheless, defining rest is problematic: both its meaning and what it feels like are affected by many socio-political, economic and cultural factors. The authors open up unexplored corners and experimental pathways into this complex topic, with contributions ranging from investigations of daydreaming and mindwandering, through histories of therapeutic relaxation and laziness, and creative-critical pieces on lullabies and the Sabbath, to experimental methods to measure aircraft noise and track somatic vigilance in urban space. The essays are grouped by scale of enquiry, into mind, body and practice, allowing readers to draw new connections across apparently distinct phenomena. The book will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines in the social sciences, life sciences, arts and humanities.

Download or read book Vera McLuckie and the Daydream Club written by Jane Evans and published by YOUR STORIES MATTER. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vera McLuckie hates school. Mainly because she struggles with stuff the other kids find easy. Oh, and because she keeps getting into trouble for doing what she is really good at. Daydreaming. So when Vera gets the chance to show just how extraordinary she is, will she dare take on the coolest, smartest girl in the whole of Acorn Bank Primary? This is a children's story whose main characters happen to have Dyspraxia, Dyslexia and Asperger's (not made explicit). Will relate to children who feel different and left out at school. The book's real purpose is one of catalyst to help parent and teacher discuss, with children in a respectful way, what it is like to have a learning difficulty. This book works on several levels. It is a lovely story in itself that most children will relate to, dealing as it does with lack of self-belief, peer pressure and the bullying that goes along with not necessarily being the most popular kid in class. These issues can be readily picked up in school and discussed in circle time and PSHE (citizenship) lessons. But it goes deeper. Whilst not named in the book explicitly, the three main characters exhibit dyspraxic, dyslexic and autistic (Asperger's Syndrome) tendencies respectively. So the story can be used by parents and teachers as a catalyst for discussing what it is like to have a learning difficulty. In schools, teachers can use the book on a one-to-one, group or class basis to help raise awareness and improve well-being. Both author and illustrator are keen to raise awareness of specific learning difficulties in a way accessible to children. The illustrator is herself autistic. The publisher – Your Stories Matter – is dedicated to publishing books that share experiences, improve understanding and celebrate differences. To this end it provides free cross-curricula teaching resources with all of its books at www.yourstoriesmatter.org
