Book excerpt: This profound guidebook reframes and expands the mission of building a global culture of peace. Going far beyond conventional techniques of conflict resolution, James O’Dea provides a holistic approach to peace work, covering its oft-ignored cultural, spiritual, and scientific dimensions while providing guidance suitable even for those who have never considered themselves peacebuilders. O’Dea is unique in his ability to integrate personal experience in the world’s violent conflict zones with insights gathered from decades of work in social healing, human rights advocacy, and consciousness studies. Following in the footsteps of Gandhi and King, O’Dea keeps the dream of peace alive by teaching us how to dissolve old wounds and reconcile our differences. He strikes deep chords of optimism even as he shows us how to face the heart of darkness in conflict situations. His soulful but practical voice speaks universally to peace activists, mediators, negotiators, psychologists, educators, businesspeople, and clergy—and to everyday citizens.

Book excerpt: Love, Peace, and Soul tells the story of the television phenomenon known as Soul Train, a show created in the land of bell bottoms, afros, and soul power; a show that became the touchstone of the Baby Boomer generation. Don Cornelius, host and owner of the show, was one of the coolest cats on television. With his platform shoes, wide neckties, and mellifluous voice, he showed the world just how corny American Bandstand was in comparison. In 2012, fans were shocked to hear one of the most powerful men in the music and television business took his own life. Love, Peace, and Soul is a celebratory, behind-the-scenes collection of anecdotes, stories, and reflections, from the people who were there, about the host, the show, and the power of black music and dance on television. Music and television connoisseurs will enjoy the history of not just Soul Train, but of other shows, including Shindig!, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, Hullabaloo, American Bandstand, and Graffiti Rock. Entrepreneurs will be interested in Cornelius' humble beginnings with the local version of the show in Chicago, created with his own money. Fans will delight in the lively images and the quirky details. The first mass market book on Soul Train since Cornelius's passing, this volume has something for everyone. Includes afterword by Gary Harris.

Download or read book Discovering Our Six Simple Truths and Their Rich Promise of Happiness Peace and a Life of Consequence written by Ralph E. Karanian and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you’re a recently minted graduate seeking advantage in the long game of life or you’re further along in your journey and questioning whether you’re best applying yourself to desired outcomes, my book likely contains your answer. In it I detail a simple self-management discipline structured around six common truths. Adhere to a personalized adaptation of them, and you’ll ultimately enjoy their rich promise of happiness, peace, and a life of consequence far more easily and sooner than me! Indeed, mine is an uplifting story of personal triumph, about how, after a frustrating period of confidence-robbing self-doubt, I regained my footing with this simple self-management hack which—among other things—memorialized precisely what success looked like for me. And now, after benefiting for the better part of my adult life from the self-management process I cobbled together, I’m ready to share its recipe. I’ll open up in greater depth about what motivated my search for and eventual identification of our six simple truths, give my take on what I view as a more-complete form of success, and identify and define each of the truths. Each truth is presented along with a small collection of my formative defining (and reinforcing) experiences, recounted in forty-one short, historically accurate stories. It’s through these stories that I show how my six simple truths crystalized for me so that you might also be moved (and equipped) to mine the lessons of your own formative experiences. From those lessons, and with my coaching, you too will be able to easily craft and realign with your very own custom-tailored truths. I’ll show you how. Imagine! A fulfilling and (mostly) regret-free life in which you confidently pursue all that is unequivocally identified and reaffirmed daily as priority for you—those people, activities, and things you just can’t imagine being without. After all, if “we are,” as Buddha suggests, “what we think,” it’s critical that we be thoughtful and strategic about that with which we fill our minds. As an everyman with a simple secret to share, I wrote my book such that mapping one’s long game (and gaining reassuring clarity for one’s daily choices) would be within easy reach for all. Remaining true then to the resultant affirmations of one’s six simple truths—with intention and application—assures we can all enjoy their rich promise of happiness, peace, and a life of consequence.

Download or read book A Heart Full of Peace written by Joseph Goldstein and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, compassion, and peace - these words are at the heart of all spiritual endeavors. Although we intuitively resonate with their meaning and value, for most of us, the challenge is how to embody what we know; how to transform these words into a vibrant, living practice. In these times of conflict and uncertainty, this transformation is far more than an abstract ideal; it is an urgent necessity. Peace in the world begins with us. This wonderfully appealing offering from one the most trusted elders of Buddhism in the West is a warm and engaging exploration of the ways we can cultivate and manifest peace as wise and skillful action in the world. This charming book is illuminated throughout with lively, joyous, and sometimes even funny citations from a host of contemporary and ancient sources - from the poetry of W.S. Merwin and Galway Kinnell to the haiku of Issa and the great poet-monk Ryokan, from the luminous aspirations of Saint Francis of Assisi to the sage advice of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama.

Book excerpt: The life-changing international bestseller reveals a set of simple yet powerful mindfulness practices that you can incorporate into daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and exhaustion. Mindfulness promotes the kind of happiness and peace that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life throws at you with new courage. Based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), the book revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and is widely recommended by US physicians and the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence—in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. MBCT was developed by the book's author, Oxford professor Mark Williams, and his colleagues at the Universities of Cambridge and Toronto. By investing just 10 to 20 minutes each day, you can learn the simple mindfulness meditations at the heart of MBCT and fully reap their benefits. The book includes links to audio meditations to help guide you through the process. You'll be surprised by how quickly these techniques will have you enjoying life again.

Download or read book Six Month Program Spiritual Conditioning written by Pat Jantomaso and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title suggests several things to the reader. The two words, SPIRITUAL AND CONDITIONING, are words that most people don't get too excited about, regardless of age or religious persuasion. Although, I believe that most would acknowledge both are important. What could be more important than a combination of sound physical and spiritual conditioning? Everybody realizes that both require personal initiative. Easier said than done? That's obvious, concerning the overall physical condition of the majority of Americans. Undeniably, our deplorable physically unfit condition, and subsequent problems, is well documented. Likewise, it appears the majority of nominal Christians are spiritually unfit, choosing to remain "babes-in-Christ", often times for years, suffering adverse consequences. Why? The lack of disciplined spiritual conditioning, growth and maturity, and the initiative to resolve. Granted, not easy, as it requires work, effort and discipline. Now enters, "Excuses", quenching any initial desires to get fit! Knowingly, choosing unfit over fit is a debilitating choice over the desire to become healthier, happier and stronger physically and spiritually. This book is not intended to be an indictment of the Christian populace, only a bona fide remedy to rectify this predicament. It follows God's directives. Unabashed honesty with self will necessitate appropriate action. Suffice it to say, God highly advocates spiritual conditioning over the physical (1Timothy 4:7-9). Physical workouts have some benefit, but a disciplined spiritual conditioning program makes you fit for all things, all the time, especially for the present difficult days, and the coming turbulent times. Thank God for his revealing Word, and powerful, comforting Holy Spirit, who strengthens you and I to stand steadfast when others, quit. Take this to heart and let it become your constant motivation to get into and stay in top spiritual shape. Come along with me in this disciplined program and enjoy permanant benefits and rewards. Today is your time to make it happen.
