Book excerpt: As seen in the New York Times and on Good Morning America-now updated by the author. Imagine a diet that's as easy as "a spoonful of sugar" (or extra-light olive oil) twice a day. A diet that actually reduces appetite and cravings. A diet that's based on a wealth of scientific findings but is simple enough for anyone to stick to. A diet with results that amaze almost everyone who tries it. Psychology professor Seth Roberts asks a simple question most weight-loss experts haven't thought to tackle: What makes people hungry? Based on a new understanding of how the human body regulates hunger, The Shangri-La Diet presents a strikingly simple and surprisingly effective way to lose weight-without giving up favorite foods. Simple and counterintuitive, this extraordinary new diet is changing the way the world thinks about weight loss-one success story at a time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, author, filmmaker, and economist Laurence Brahm, inspired by James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon and his own quest for meaning, began his search for Shangri-la. Some say that Shangri-la can be found in sacred Tibet, or maybe in wild Qinghai; others believe it can be found in artistic Yunnan in the southwest of China. The author discovered the spiritual truth that Shangri-la is not a place; rather, it is a state of mind. As Brahm hitchhiked through western China, well off the beaten track, he recorded the interior changes and illuminations he experienced as his consciousness expanded far beyond the everyday cares of his years of urban life in Beijing. The insights of his journey and his meetings with others who searched for their own versions of Shangri-la, helped him to understand that the archetypal goal he sought was actually a state of consciousness. Shangri-la may be found in a cup of caf� latte or yak-butter tea#8212if we search carefully enough and with mindfulness and compassion. Searching for Shangri-la is the first book of the Himalayan Trilogy . The reader will discover the need for fresh economic paradigms that call for compassionate capital, the empowerment of people, and prioritization of the environment. Spirituality can be more powerful than materialism. The need for sustainability has rarely been so beautifully and eloquently defended.

Download or read book Shangri-La Diet: A Review, Analysis, and Beginner’s Overview of the Diet written by Bruce Ackerberg and published by No Fluff Publishing . This book was released on 2019-07-20 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many diet methods today that you can try in order to lose weight and become healthy. Each diet emphasizes taking more of a certain nutrient while taking less of another. Some diets stress on the proper times of the day when you should eat while others give priority on a certain food or foods which you should always prioritize on each meal of the day. The Shangri-La diet is no different from other diets when it comes to prioritizing weight loss and health of the individual man. The founder of this diet even wrote a book on how the diet should be done to further guide people on the right track to weight-loss. His book, together with this eBook, is a good combination for you to get the full picture of Dr. Roberts’ diet plan. This book will discuss the experiences of the founder as well as a personal experience in trying the diet. Certain chapters will also be focusing on foods that should be taken and beginners’ guides in following this diet plan. Pros and Cons of this diet will also be discussed as well as comparisons between the Shangri-La diet and other weight-loss plans. Remember that any weight-loss diet is effective if you commit to it. If you do not pay attention to your health while dieting, not only will be the diet become ineffective, it will also be risky to your health. Good luck with your dieting and always be positive. Note that this book is not a direct substitute for the original work. Rather, it is an overview, review, and commentary of the facts of this diet plan.

Book excerpt: Since the 19th century, Westerners have laid siege to the Tsangpo Gorge in Tibet. The colonial British saw it as a strategic prize, 1920's botanist Frank Kingdon-Ward saw it as a geographical puzzle to solve and Oxford educated American Tibet scholar Ian Baker (discoverer of the hidden waterfall in the 1990s) saw it as a hidden Buddhist realm. More recently kayakers have seen the rapids as the last great whitewater challenge. They paid with their lives. For all, the reality was unimportant. All heaped their own perceptions on the mythology that had come before. This title combines adventure, travel, history and myth to tell the story of the search for the hidden falls of Shangri-la.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shangri-La730’s Last Flight By: Skot Keller Shangri-La730’s Last Flight iz inspired by Malaysia Flight 370, which went missing on March 8th, 2014; it has never been found and remains a mystery az to what happened to it. The people on the Malaysia plane are assumed to be dead, and the people on Shangri-La 730 do not come away mortally alive either. Rest assured that there iz a happy ending for everyone. When an Australian engineer has an idea that he sends out in a mass email about a theory that will lead to a scientific breakthrough, it makes an alien race called the sigla nervous, and they try to squash the idea by commandeering Shangri-La flight 730 in flight. There are humans, extraterrestrials, az well az angels all involved with what happens aboard the plane. This iz importantly a Christian piece of fiction, not factual or scripturally based. Some questions that are explored are: If there are intelligent extraterrestrials, do they have a relation with GOD like humans have a relation with GOD, and how are their spiritual beliefs related to mankind’s? Their GOD and the Christian GOD must be the same because the Creator created everything. Other questions are considered, e.g.: What iz the purpose of life? What iz eternal life without perfection, and what iz perfection? What happens to good people who have not accepted Jesus, Yeshua, as their Savior, Lord, and Master? Do animals have souls? Hopefully those who read Shangri-La 730’s Last Flight will come away with an uplifting feeling that there iz a perfect plan working its way out in its perfection and a hopeful belief that they can be reunited with all they love in GOD.

In its exploration of the Tibetan Muslim experience, this book presents an unparalleled perspective of Tibet's standing during the rise of post-World War II Asia.

Book excerpt: A few hundred years in the future, humans live in a space station far from Earth governed by a cultured multinational corporation. On the surface, everyone seems to be satisfied with this "perfect society" and they are set on pushing their own limitations to become equal to gods. They are near to setting up a program aimed at creating life from scratch on Shangri-La, one of the most hospitable regions of Titan, where they intend to rewrite "Genesis" in their own way. But as tends to happen, mankind's hubris gets in the way... Spanning a period of a thousand years, this science fiction epic begins after mankind has abandoned earth to live in space stations run by corporate governments. After an introductory sequence amidst the ruins of Earth, it leaps from our desolated planet into this firmly established future, where life is good and all needs are met. But that longevity isn't enough, and science is ready to use its genetic knowledge to breed the next generation of humans for colonization. Far from being just another science fiction adventure, author Mathieu Bablet uses this scenario to observe and comment on many core qualities that mankind can't seem to outgrow: consumerism, jealousy, distrust, entitlement, ambition, curiosity, and - ultimately - violence. Through a cinematic visual style and dramatic pacing, this book proves to be much weightier and thought-provoking than even its 220-page length would suggest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these impressionistic and mystical stories and sketches, identities flow into one another in the drag of timeoften unknowingly maintaining adversarial relations to each other in the general symbiotic culture. Here you find an aging escort sipping on gin-n-juice in a hotel in McLeod Ganj; a quaint brass-deity come haunting an Indo-Tibetan youth; a poacher, called Bucephalia, hunting down a musk deer in a dale in Kashmir; a Daoist shrine-keeper casting a Vedic horoscope. Whether it is the Buddha emerging from a veil of mist or the surge of humanity converging in the Kumbha-Mela, it takes you to the seductive realm of intertwined patterns of destiny which nevertheless transcends space and time, cultural and religious boundaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysing the status of agrarian justice and its relation with the national slogan of "gross national happiness"(GNH) in Bhutan, this monograph deals with food insecurity, resource asymmetry and growth in the political economy perspective. In this tiny Himalayan nation under absolute democratic monarchy, there are huge inequities in the ethos of general income and consumption poverty and a fundamental transformation in the political economy of this south Asian nation is in urgent need. Readers of this monograph would be mainly from Nepal, Bhutan and India, though those who have interest in the economy and society of the Himalayas would also be the beneficiaries. It attempts to highlight understanding about the specificities of south Asia and some novel features of poverty in this region.

Book excerpt: Following the Shambhala Sutra an ancient manuscript written by Penchen Lama over two hundred years ago Laurence Brahm started his journey to Shambhala in Lhasa and continued deep into the harsh regions of Tibet. Shambhala Sutra presents Brahm s expedition across western Tibet s Ngari region where he learned that the ancient sutra was actually a metaphorical guidebook. He traces a route embedded with riddles through deserts and mountains. The lessons learned from this journey (as told in the sutra as a prophecy) are that shortsighted greed, war, and failure to protect our environment will cause kingdoms and empires to vanish. Mankind s future depends on ensuring a sustainable planet through more holistic economics, empowering communities and people, and preserving our environment. These are the messages hidden in the Shambhala Sutra. "

Thanks to his knowledge and expertise, Bradt's Tibet offers a more extensive language appendix than is found in other guidebooks, plus essential guidelines on cultural etiquette (including a special section on hand gestures to use), local customs and travelling with minimum impact on Tibet's culture and environment. There is also an appendix on fauna and an extensive list of recommended further resources, including books, music, films and even virtual reality Exploring ethnic Tibet independently is a challenge. The 'land of snows' possesses the world's highest peaks (including Everest) and its deepest gorges as well as some of the wildest and roughest road routes in high Asia. Bradt's Tibet provides all the practical information you need to explore ethnic Tibet independently, whether motoring, mountain-biking or trekking. Tibet has always fascinated travellers and armchair travellers because it is so difficult to access due to its remoteness and extreme altitude. Now, under Chinese rule, Tibet is a sensitive destination for Westerners. Visitors needs all the information that they can lay their hands on-and this guidebook provides plenty. With flight routes and rail access to Tibet expanding, and new border crossings opening, Michael Buckley and Bradt's Tibet provide all of the information you need to make the most of a trip.
