Download or read book Do Humankind s Best Days Lie Ahead written by Steven Pinker and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress. It is one of the animating concepts of the modern era. From the Enlightenment onwards, the West has had an enduring belief that through the evolution of institutions, innovations, and ideas, the human condition is improving. This process is supposedly accelerating as new technologies, individual freedoms, and the spread of global norms empower individuals and societies around the world. But is progress inevitable? Its critics argue that human civilization has become different, not better, over the last two and a half centuries. What is seen as a breakthrough or innovation in one period becomes a setback or limitation in another. In short, progress is an ideology not a fact; a way of thinking about the world as opposed to a description of reality. In the seventeenth semi-annual Munk Debates, which was held in Toronto on November 6, 2015, pioneering cognitive scientist Steven Pinker and bestselling author Matt Ridley squared off against noted philosopher Alain de Botton and bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell to debate whether humankind’s best days lie ahead.

Book excerpt: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness You are never beyond the reach of God's grace. Neither are you ever beyond the need of God's grace. Without grace we'd never come to Christ. But being a Christian is more than just coming to Christ, it's about growing and becoming more like Jesus. This pursuit of holiness is hard work, and as we enter into this discipline, we sometimes lose sight of grace. Jerry Bridges helps us steer clear of this disastrous distraction, offering a clear and thorough explanation of the gospel and what it means to the believer. Explore how the same grace that brings us to Christ also grows us in Christ. Includes full study guide (which was previously sold as a stand-alone discussion guide, ISBN 9781576839904).

Book excerpt: Move beyond Coping and Surviving to a Rejuvenating Place of Soul Rest How many of us find ourselves exhausted, running on empty with no time for rest, no time for ourselves, no time for God? Bonnie Gray knows exactly what that's like. On the brink of fulfilling a lifelong dream, Bonnie's plans suddenly went off script. Her life shattered into a debilitating journey through anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. But as she struggled to make sense of it all, she made an important discovery: we all need spiritual whitespace. Spiritual whitespace makes room--room in one's heart for a deep relationship with God, room in one's life for rest, room in one's soul for rejuvenation. With soul-stirring vulnerability and heartbreaking honesty, Bonnie takes readers on a personal journey to feed their souls and uncover the deeper story of rest. Lyrical writing draws readers into Gray's intimate journey through overwhelming stress to find God in a broken story and celebrate the beauty of faith. Guided by biblical encouragement and thought-provoking prompts, Gray shows readers how to create space in the everyday for God, refreshment, and faith. She also offers practical steps and insights for making spiritual whitespace a reality, right in the midst of the stress-frayed stories in every season of life. "We live in a culture that brags and boasts about being busy. Into that reality steps Bonnie with a new idea. Whitespace is an important concept and Bonnie has captured it perfectly. If you're exhausted with being exhausted, read this book. If you feel too busy to read this book, then that's probably the best sign of all that you need it."--from the foreword by Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Stuff Christians Like

Book excerpt: Do you wonder why some ideas go viral and others sink? Why one political candidate soars while another fails to gain traction? Why one product becomes an instant rage, while its competitor struggles to stay above water? What is the secret to momentum? Many people believe that momentum is driven by emotion and is unpredictable, but as Mike Berland, the internationally recognized pollster and strategic advisor, has discovered, it’s actually a science, with easily analyzed metrics. In Maximum Momentum: How to Get It, How to Keep It, Berland reveals the key to momentum, beginning with the simple physics formula— mass x velocity. He then develops a Momentum Matrix—five signals that decode the science into effective measures. Maximum Momentum is a lively examination of hot trends in the current arena—from politics to society to business to sports. Using colorful graphics to underscore the stories, Berland examines the people, issues, movements and products that most captivate Americans.

Download or read book Gratitude Journal written by Elizabeth N. Doyd and published by Higher Self Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude Writing in a gratitude journal may only take a few minutes of your day, but doing so has the power to turn your entire life around. The Law of Attraction says that whatever you focus on grows stronger. By making a habit to focus on the positive side of things, even something you might label as negative, you are tapping into the secret of living a happy life. When we start counting the little things that we treasure, things that may otherwise escape our attention in the chaos of daily life, not only are we becoming more positive and loving, but more giving and appreciative as well. Our happiness is no one’s responsibility but our own; when we stop reacting to the people and circumstances around us, we’re taking back control of our lives in order to steer it in the direction we want to go. Giving thanks to the universe is giving love, and what we give inevitably comes back to us. Have an attitude of gratitude. Once you make a habit out of appreciating all the gifts in life, big or small, you’ll begin to attract more positive people and situations. Bad habits and former worries will disappear, replaced by faith and good feelings toward yourself and others. Starting a gratitude journal is easy. All you need is a pen, a notebook, and a moment to lay down your appreciation for what you’ve been given in life. This book contains journal prompts on 52 different topics, each one beginning with an inspirational gratitude quote from great men and women of the past and present. You can focus on one topic a week if you wish—that’s enough to last you a year. Or you may pick and choose a prompt at random if you are looking for inspiration and new ideas on any given day.
