Book Synopsis The Wisdom of Frugality by : Emrys Westacott
Download or read book The Wisdom of Frugality written by Emrys Westacott and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why philosophers have advocated simple living for 2,500 years—and why we ignore them at our peril From Socrates to Thoreau, most philosophers, moralists, and religious leaders have seen frugality as a virtue and have associated simple living with wisdom, integrity, and happiness. But why? And are they right? Is a taste for luxury fundamentally misguided? If one has the means to be a spendthrift, is it foolish or reprehensible to be extravagant? In this book, Emrys Westacott examines why, for more than two millennia, so many philosophers and people with a reputation for wisdom have been advocating frugality and simple living as the key to the good life. He also looks at why most people have ignored them, but argues that, in a world facing environmental crisis, it may finally be time to listen to the advocates of a simpler way of life. The Wisdom of Frugality explores what simplicity means, why it's supposed to make us better and happier, and why, despite its benefits, it has always been such a hard sell. The book looks not only at the arguments in favor of living frugally and simply, but also at the case that can be made for luxury and extravagance, including the idea that modern economies require lots of getting and spending. A philosophically informed reflection rather than a polemic, The Wisdom of Frugality ultimately argues that we will be better off—as individuals and as a society—if we move away from the materialistic individualism that currently rules.

Download or read book Tao Te Ching written by Phillip Patzer and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an old saying that, the best way to learn something, is to teach it. After studying the Tao Te Ching for over a decade I decided it was time to dive into it whole heartedly and share what I learned along the way. For over a year I lived and breathed the Tao Te Ching, as I sought to learn as much as I could from Lao Tzu's master work. Dedicating a week of study, meditation and discussion to each of its 81 verses, until I was so immersed in these beautiful words I could put pen to paper and create 'A Fresh Look At Ancient Wisdom'.Some 2,500 years ago a wise man by the name of Lao Tzu wrote down 81 poetic verses in an attempt to explain the Way of the universe, which he referred to as the "Tao". What he created he called the "Tao Te Ching", which roughly translates to 'Book Of The Way and It's Virtues', is still regarded by many to be one of the wisest books ever written. Part philosophy, part religion the Tao Te Ching has been an inspiration and a guide to seekers of wisdom and truth from its inception. This book is the result of my personal exploration of the Tao Te Ching, and it is my hope that it will act as a guide to others looking for the truths I myself have sought.To the reader I extend my best wishes to you on your journey of exploration and personal growth. For it is the greatest journey one can embark upon and also one of the most challenging. Which is why I strongly encourage you to at all times be kind and patient with yourself along the way. Read this book very slowly, one or perhaps two verses at a time. Let each verse be with you for a while, before moving on to the next.To those who have never studied Taoism before, note that the Tao Te Ching is full of seemingly simple concepts that take time to fully appreciate. Do not expect all of its concepts to be easy or comfortable to grasp. Some of it may even seem like nonsense at first, but if you give them time to take root, you will find great wisdom in the words Lao Tzu penned so long ago.

Book excerpt: At the height of his career as a journalist, Tony Schwartz hit an unexpected wall. Why did success suddenly feel so empty? How could he add richer meaning to his everyday life? What guides could he trust on the road to wisdom? During the next five years his search for answers took him from a meditation retreat in the mountains of Utah to a biofeedback laboratory in Kansas, from a peak-performance workshop at a tennis academy in Florida to a right-brain drawing course in Boston. Blending the hunger of a seeker with a journalist's hard-headed inquiry, he discovered the best teachers and techniques for inner development--and identified the potential pitfalls and false gurus he met along the way. What he found dramatically changed his life. It may change yours as well.
Book Synopsis The Wisdom of the Shamans by : Don Jose Ruiz
Download or read book The Wisdom of the Shamans written by Don Jose Ruiz and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generation after generation, Toltec shamans have passed down their wisdom through teaching stories. The purpose of these stories is to implant a seed of knowledge in the mind of the listener, where it can ultimately sprout and blossom into a new and better way of life. In The Wisdom of the Shamans: What the Ancient Masters Can Teach Us About Love and Life, Toltec shaman and master storyteller don Jose Ruiz shares some of the most popular stories from his family's oral tradition and offers corresponding lessons that illustrate the larger ideas within each story. Ruiz begins by explaining that contrary to the stereotypical image of "witch doctor," the ancient shamans were men and women who fulfilled several roles within their communities: philosopher, spiritual guide, medical doctor, psychologist, and friend. According to Ruiz, their teachings are not primitive or reserved for a chosen few initiates but are instead a powerful series of lessons on love and life that are available to us all. To that aim, he has included exercises, meditations, and shamanic rituals to help you experience the personal transformation these stories offer. The shamans taught that the truth you seek is inside of you. Let these stories, lessons, and tools be your guide to finding the innate wisdom that lives within.
