Book Synopsis Welcome to Your World by : Sarah Williams Goldhagen
Download or read book Welcome to Your World written by Sarah Williams Goldhagen and published by Harper Paperbacks. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the nation's chief architecture critics reveals how the environments we build profoundly shape our feelings, memories, and well-being, and argues that we must harness this knowledge to construct a world better suited to human experience. Taking us on a fascinating journey through some of the world's best and worst landscapes, buildings, and cityscapes, Sarah Williams Goldhagen draws from recent research in cognitive neuroscience and psychology to demonstrate how people's experiences of the places they build are central to their well-being, their physical health, their communal and social lives, and even their very sense of themselves. From this foundation, Goldhagen presents a powerful case that societies must use this knowledge to rethink what and how they build: the world needs better-designed, healthier environments that address the complex range of human individual and social needs. By 2050 America's population is projected to increase by nearly seventy million people. This will necessitate a vast amount of new construction--almost all in urban areas--that will dramatically transform our existing landscapes, infrastructure, and urban areas. Going forward, we must do everything we can to prevent the construction of exhausting, overstimulating environments and enervating, understimulating ones. Buildings, landscapes, and cities must both contain and spark associations of natural light, greenery, and other ways of being in landscapes that humans have evolved to need and expect. Fancy exteriors and dramatic forms are never enough, and may not even be necessary; authentic textures and surfaces, and careful, well-executed construction details are just as important. Erudite, wise, lucidly written, and beautifully illustrated with more than one hundred color photographs, Welcome to Your World is a vital, eye-opening guide to the spaces we inhabit, physically and mentally, and a clarion call to design for human experience.
Book Synopsis On the Brink of Everything by : Parker J. Palmer
Download or read book On the Brink of Everything written by Parker J. Palmer and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This impassioned book invites readers to the deep end of life where authentic soul work and human transformation become pressing concerns.” —Publishers Weekly 2019 Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medalist in the Aging/Death & Dying Category From bestselling author Parker J. Palmer comes a brave and beautiful book for all who want to age reflectively, seeking new insights and life-giving ways to engage in the world. “Age itself,” he says, “is no excuse to wade in the shallows. It’s a reason to dive deep and take creative risks.” Looking back on eight decades of life—and on his work as a writer, teacher, and activist—Palmer explores what he’s learning about self and world, inviting readers to explore their own experience. In prose and poetry—and three downloadable songs written for the book by the gifted Carrie Newcomer—he meditates on the meanings of life, past, present, and future. With compassion and chutzpah, gravitas and levity, Palmer writes about cultivating a vital inner and outer life, finding meaning in suffering and joy, and forming friendships across the generations that bring new life to young and old alike. “This book is a companion for not merely surviving a fractured world, but embodying—like Parker—the fiercely honest and gracious wholeness that is ours to claim at every stage of life.” —Krista Tippett, New York Times-bestselling author of Becoming Wise “A wondrously rich mix of reality and possibility, comfort and story, helpful counsel and poetry, in the voice of a friend . . . This is a book of immense gratitude, consolation, and praise.” —Naomi Shihab Nye, National Book Award finalist
Book Synopsis Welcome to Our Real Matrix: One with No Escape by : Thomas Arant
Download or read book Welcome to Our Real Matrix: One with No Escape written by Thomas Arant and published by Thomas Arant. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that we (and all life) are unknowingly imprisoned? That your perception of Reality has little to do with the truth? In these ways, our existence is like the virtual reality in the movie, The Matrix. The differences are more overwhelming, including that our Real Matrix emerged through abiogenesis and evolution processes without intention nor direction (i.e., no sentient machines), and that there is no escape through taking a Red Pill. Welcome to Our Real Matrix proves all this using accepted science taken to its logical conclusion. It then explores the consequences of this truth and the possible paths for how and why to live this life, including the philosophies of Stoicism, Buddhism, and Existentialism. Finally, it introduces a community, the Purplepills Society, that has been established to continue the scientific and philosophical discussion.

Download or read book This Naked Mind written by Annie Grace and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Naked Mind has ignited a movement across the country, helping thousands of people forever change their relationship with alcohol. Many people question whether drinking has become too big a part of their lives, and worry that it may even be affecting their health. But, they resist change because they fear losing the pleasure and stress-relief associated with alcohol, and assume giving it up will involve deprivation and misery. This Naked Mind offers a new, positive solution. Here, Annie Grace clearly presents the psychological and neurological components of alcohol use based on the latest science, and reveals the cultural, social, and industry factors that support alcohol dependence in all of us. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink, this book will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture, and how the stigma of alcoholism and recovery keeps people from getting the help they need. With Annie’s own extraordinary and candid personal story at its heart, this book is a must-read for anyone who drinks. This Naked Mind will give you freedom from alcohol. It removes the psychological dependence so that you will not crave alcohol, allowing you to easily drink less (or stop drinking). With clarity, humor, and a unique blend of science and storytelling, This Naked Mind will open the door to the life you have been waiting for. “You have given me my live back.” —Katy F., Albuquerque, New Mexico “This is an inspiring and groundbreaking must-read. I am forever inspired and changed.” —Kate S., Los Angeles, California “The most selfless and amazing book that I have ever read.” —Bernie M., Dublin, Ireland
Book Synopsis Abandon Racism and Welcome Our Fellow Extraterrestrials by : Juanita de Guzman Gutierrez BSED MSED
Download or read book Abandon Racism and Welcome Our Fellow Extraterrestrials written by Juanita de Guzman Gutierrez BSED MSED and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we stop the old and ancient, self-limiting, racial thinking of one another? Just think that we are all extraterrestrials. We came from the galaxies of stars. Even the Indigo children know this truth. It is the time of disclosures. Humanity had been enslaved. It is time to regain our divinity back and our power back. We do not need to be saved and do not need to worship any gods. We are all pieces of a prime creator source. Therefore, we are all gods and goddesses. We have the power, and we will evolve. We are all immortals. If you know that you will be a rock or a Buddhist or a paraplegic and when you come back to reincarnate, you will understand one another. This book will also give you the knowledge of breaking your soul contract. Breaking your soul contract and healing your energy field is a healing modality that came from our fellow Arcturian family. According to the Arcturians, this healing strategy is the most powerful healing modality given to humans at this time. It will be discussed here in this book as well. Why do we keep on hurting one another by calling one another names? Why do we judge a person by the color of their skin? We are one human race. We came from the HU. The HU is the ancient name of God. We came from the outer interstellar space. We did not originate on this earth. Therefore, we HUmans are all extraterrestrials. And our fellow extraterrestrials are coming out in the open soon to introduce themselves. They are already here—actually, ever since our Mama Gaia or Mother Earth existed. Forget the wrong indoctrinations we learned from schools. And what I taught, as a teacher, then, was wrong too. It is because I was not awakened yet then. I began my awakening this October of the year 2017. This book attempts to solve, give solutions, or suggest ideas that will make us realize that all people on this planet earth is of one race. And that is the whole HUman race. From the HU, god race. We are all extraterrestrials! This is disclosure in the first degree. We, HUmans, need to wake up. We are not alone. The ETs or extraterrestrials, as we know it in movies, are real. And they are going to reveal themselves very soon, even maybe before or after this book is published. They all come from other stars in the intergalactic outer space, just as we do. Believe it or not. There is no need to brand someone as the brown race, black race, white race, yellow race, and so on and so forth. HUmans are not limited by their skins’ pigments, nothing to be brushed off. Just keep an open mind. Our prime creator is of 221 energy frequency, and when that huge energy blew up, it took many forms, according to Dolores Cannon. It is time to awaken to the reality that the prime creator of all made us all one. The divine father and divine mother gods had made the human beings’ race to be the same persons. We all have the same lives to live, the same air to breathe, one planet earth to live on, one body to live. We are going to even ascend to the stars where we came from. We better believe this. There is a saying that “a house divided on its own cannot stand.” How true and fitting this is for humanity. If we have to survive as a human specie who are all magnificent, we better change our consciousness or thinking. We, as wonderful human beings, all belong to the great human race. We all are extraterrestrials. This is disclosure written by a Pleiadian from a previous life existence. This book will make you realize how important it is to stop the limiting and discriminating descriptions we have described one another. We all need to learn. Reject what is bad and take what is only good. Leave the limiting and ancient profiling of one another behind, never to come back. Welcome the new consciousness in—our higher selves. We are all powerful extraterrestrials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philosophy of Life and Welcome to Paradise by A. R. Pugh The Philosophy of Life and Welcome to Paradise is author A.R. Pugh’s attempt to promulgate superficial sentimentalities. Let him introduce you to some of his monumental verbosities. They are not related one to the other but just placed at random. Remember that you have a wonderful and powerful tool at your disposal, and that tool is the “Mind’s eye.” So let us start with the individual that you know best, and that person is you. Ask yourself a few simple questions. For example: 1. What is my mission on this planet Earth? 2. The things that I choose to do, are they right or are they wrong? Now have a good look at the lifestyle of other individuals. What do you think? Go a step further and look at the events of the world in general. Why is there no peace among the nations of the world? What do you think?

Book Synopsis Welcome to Our Hillbrow by : Phaswane Mpe
Download or read book Welcome to Our Hillbrow written by Phaswane Mpe and published by Pan Macmillan South africa. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome To Our Hillbrow is an exhilarating and disturbing ride through the chaotic and hyper-real zone of Hillbrow - microcosm of all that is contradictory, alluring and painful in the changing South African psyche. Everything is there: the shattered dreams of youth, sexuality and its unpredictable costs, AIDS, xenophobia, suicide, the omnipotent violence that often cuts short the promise of young people, and the Africanist understanding of the life continuum that does not end with death but flows on into an ancestral realm. Infused with the rhythms of the inner city pulsebeat, this courageous novel is compelling in its honesty and its broad vision, which links Hillbrow, rural Tiragalong and Oxford. It spills out the guts of Hillbrow-living with the same energy and intimate knowledge ,with which the Drum writers wrote Sophiatown into being.
Download or read book Out of Our Minds written by Ken Robinson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity is critical. Out of Our Minds explores creativity: its value in business, its ubiquity in children, its perceived absence in many adults and the phenomenon through which it disappears — and offers a groundbreaking approach for getting it back. Author Sir Ken Robinson is an internationally recognised authority on creativity, and his TED talk on the subject is the most watched video in TED’s history. In this book, Sir Ken argues that organisations everywhere are struggling to fix a problem that originates in schools and universities. Organisations everywhere are competing in a world that changes in the blink of an eye – they need people who are flexible enough to adapt, and creative enough to find novel solutions to problems old and new. Out of Our Minds describes how schools, businesses and communities can work together to bring creativity out of the closet and realise its inherent value at every stage of life. This new third edition has been updated to reflect changing technologies and demographics, with updated case studies and coverage of recent changes to education. While education and training are the keys to the future, the key can also be turned the other way; locking people away from their own creativity. Only by actively fostering creativity can businesses unlock those doors and achieve their true potential. This book will help you to: Understand the importance of actively promoting creativity and innovation. Discover why creativity stagnates somewhere between childhood and adulthood. Learn how to re-awaken dormant creativity to help your business achieve more. Explore ways in which we can work together to keep creativity alive for everyone. Modern business absolutely demands creativity of thought and action. We're all creative as children — so where does it go? When do we lose it? Out of Our Minds has the answers, and clear solutions for getting it back.
Book Synopsis The School of Greatness by : Lewis Howes
Download or read book The School of Greatness written by Lewis Howes and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a career-ending injury left elite athlete and professional football player Lewis Howes out of work and living on his sister’s couch, he decided he needed to make a change for the better. He started by reaching out to people he admired, searching for mentors, and applying his past coaches’ advice from sports to life off the field. Lewis did more than bounce back: He built a multimillion-dollar online business and is now a sought-after business coach, speaker, and podcast host. In The School of Greatness, Howes shares the essential tips and habits he gathered in interviewing “the greats” on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. In discussion with people like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun, Howes figured out that greatness is unearthed and cultivated from within. The masters of greatness are not successful because they got lucky or are innately more talented, but because they applied specific habits and tools to embrace and overcome adversity in their lives. A framework for personal development, The School of Greatness gives you the tools, knowledge, and actionable resources you need to reach your potential. Howes anchors each chapter with a specific lesson he culled from his greatness “professors” and his own experiences to teach you how to create a vision, develop hustle, and use dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. His lessons and practical exercises prove that anyone is capable of achieving success and that we can all strive for greatness in our everyday lives.
Book Synopsis Making Up Your Own Mind by : Edward B. Burger
Download or read book Making Up Your Own Mind written by Edward B. Burger and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How you can become better at solving real-world problems by learning creative puzzle-solving skills We solve countless problems—big and small—every day. With so much practice, why do we often have trouble making simple decisions—much less arriving at optimal solutions to important questions? Are we doomed to this muddle—or is there a practical way to learn to think more effectively and creatively? In this enlightening, entertaining, and inspiring book, Edward Burger shows how we can become far better at solving real-world problems by learning creative puzzle-solving skills using simple, effective thinking techniques. Making Up Your Own Mind teaches these techniques—including how to ask good questions, fail and try again, and change your mind—and then helps you practice them with fun verbal and visual puzzles. The goal is not to quickly solve each challenge but to come up with as many different ways of thinking about it as possible. As you see the puzzles in ever-greater depth, your mind will change, helping you become a more imaginative and creative thinker in daily life. And learning how to be a better thinker pays off in incalculable ways for anyone—including students, businesspeople, professionals, athletes, artists, leaders, and lifelong learners. A book about changing your mind and creating an even better version of yourself through mental play, Making Up Your Own Mind will delight and reward anyone who wants to learn how to find better solutions to life’s innumerable puzzles. And the puzzles extend to the thought-provoking format of the book itself because one of the later short chapters is printed upside down while another is printed in mirror image, further challenging the reader to see the world through different perspectives and make new meaning.
