Book excerpt: More well known for his Reformed Pastor, Richard Baxter was the outstanding pastor of Kidderminster. Dying Thoughts is his exposition of Paul's words in Philippians 1:23: 'For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better.' Benjamin Fawcett who made this abridged version of the original work wrote, 'The "Dying Thoughts" of Mr. Baxter chiefly present to our view what every Christian may attain, and what it is the highest interest, as well as the indispensable duty of every Christian to aspire after.' In this little book, we see Baxter wrestling with his own doubts and fears as he faces eternity, jealously examining his own heart, anxious to test his own sincerity, taking nothing for granted. Baxter wanted to die with every grace in his soul in full vigour. A man of life passions as ourselves, his Dying Thoughts provides much needed counsel, strength and comfort because it deals with the same conflicts, complaints and desires which fill our own hearts.

Download or read book Things Worth Dying For written by Charles J. Chaput and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a balance of wisdom, candor, and scholarly rigor the beloved archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia takes on life’s central questions: why are we here, and how can we live and die meaningfully? In Things Worth Dying For, Chaput delves richly into our yearning for God, love, honor, beauty, truth, and immortality. He reflects on our modern appetite for consumption and individualism and offers a penetrating analysis of how we got here, and how we can look to our roots and our faith to find purpose each day amid the noise of competing desires. Chaput examines the chronic questions of the human heart; the idols and false flags we create; and the nature of a life of authentic faith. He points to our longing to live and die with meaning as the key to our search for God, our loyalty to nation and kin, our conduct in war, and our service to others. Ultimately, with compelling grace, he shows us that the things worth dying for reveal most powerfully the things worth living for.

Download or read book Dying in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For patients and their loved ones, no care decisions are more profound than those made near the end of life. Unfortunately, the experience of dying in the United States is often characterized by fragmented care, inadequate treatment of distressing symptoms, frequent transitions among care settings, and enormous care responsibilities for families. According to this report, the current health care system of rendering more intensive services than are necessary and desired by patients, and the lack of coordination among programs increases risks to patients and creates avoidable burdens on them and their families. Dying in America is a study of the current state of health care for persons of all ages who are nearing the end of life. Death is not a strictly medical event. Ideally, health care for those nearing the end of life harmonizes with social, psychological, and spiritual support. All people with advanced illnesses who may be approaching the end of life are entitled to access to high-quality, compassionate, evidence-based care, consistent with their wishes. Dying in America evaluates strategies to integrate care into a person- and family-centered, team-based framework, and makes recommendations to create a system that coordinates care and supports and respects the choices of patients and their families. The findings and recommendations of this report will address the needs of patients and their families and assist policy makers, clinicians and their educational and credentialing bodies, leaders of health care delivery and financing organizations, researchers, public and private funders, religious and community leaders, advocates of better care, journalists, and the public to provide the best care possible for people nearing the end of life.
Download or read book Dying A Memoir written by Cory Taylor and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bracing and beautiful . . . Every human should read it." —The New York Times A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice At the age of sixty, Cory Taylor is dying of melanoma-related brain cancer. Her illness is no longer treatable: she now weighs less than her neighbor’s retriever. As her body weakens, she describes the experience—the vulnerability and strength, the courage and humility, the anger and acceptance—of knowing she will soon die. Written in the space of a few weeks, in a tremendous creative surge, this powerful and beautiful memoir is a clear-eyed account of what dying teaches: Taylor describes the tangle of her feelings, remembers the lives and deaths of her parents, and examines why she would like to be able to choose the circumstances of her death. Taylor’s last words offer a vocabulary for readers to speak about the most difficult thing any of us will face. And while Dying: A Memoir is a deeply affecting meditation on death, it is also a funny and wise tribute to life.

Book excerpt: “If you’ve been looking for something different to level up your health, fitness, and personal growth, this is it.”—Melissa Urban, Whole30 CEO and New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Boundaries “Michael Easter’s genius is that he puts data around the edges of what we intuitively believe. His work has inspired many to change their lives for the better.”—Dr. Peter Attia, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlive Discover the evolutionary mind and body benefits of living at the edges of your comfort zone and reconnecting with the wild—from the author of Scarcity Brain, coming in September! In many ways, we’re more comfortable than ever before. But could our sheltered, temperature-controlled, overfed, underchallenged lives actually be the leading cause of many our most urgent physical and mental health issues? In this gripping investigation, award-winning journalist Michael Easter seeks out off-the-grid visionaries, disruptive genius researchers, and mind-body conditioning trailblazers who are unlocking the life-enhancing secrets of a counterintuitive solution: discomfort. Easter’s journey to understand our evolutionary need to be challenged takes him to meet the NBA’s top exercise scientist, who uses an ancient Japanese practice to build championship athletes; to the mystical country of Bhutan, where an Oxford economist and Buddhist leader are showing the world what death can teach us about happiness; to the outdoor lab of a young neuroscientist who’s found that nature tests our physical and mental endurance in ways that expand creativity while taming burnout and anxiety; to the remote Alaskan backcountry on a demanding thirty-three-day hunting expedition to experience the rewilding secrets of one of the last rugged places on Earth; and more. Along the way, Easter uncovers a blueprint for leveraging the power of discomfort that will dramatically improve our health and happiness, and perhaps even help us understand what it means to be human. The Comfort Crisis is a bold call to break out of your comfort zone and explore the wild within yourself.

Download or read book How to Stop Negative Thoughts written by Barbara Ireland and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRAIN YOUR MIND TO BE YOUR GREATEST ALLY, INSTEAD OF YOUR SABOTEUR We think 60,000 thoughts a day. And yet, scientific research tells us a whopping 70% of those thoughts are negative. No wonder stress, social anxiety, depression, and unhappiness are on the rise! If you want to stop that incessant, negative voice in your head, read this book. One night in 2010, author Barbara Ireland was singing onstage with Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam when she suddenly "heard" her own inner thoughts. She was shocked at how self-critical they were and wondered: "Are these negative thoughts going through my head all the time?" Turns out they were - and they'd been sabotaging her life for years. We all think negative thoughts. We dwell on past conflicts, we worry, we wonder if we're good enough, we judge others, fume, resent, envy, compare. We spill some orange juice and yell in our heads, "You're such an idiot!" Sound familiar? What you may not realize is just how damaging that negative voice is. Repetitive, negative thoughts - "Mind Loops" - increase stress, deplete your energy, interrupt your sleep, make you less productive - and can trigger destructive emotions like fear, jealousy, and shame. Your relationships, career and self-esteem suffer. Tragically, Mind Loops can also sabotage you from achieving your most cherished dreams and goals because they create self-doubt with their mantras: "You aren't good enough," "You can't do it," and "Why try?" But there is a way to interrupt repetitive, negative thoughts. Based on neuroscience, Ireland's proven "4 D's of De-Looping" program will show you how to: * catch, and detach from, negative thoughts before they have a chance to hook you * heal and free yourself from painful memories - no matter how long ago they occurred * reframe life's challenges so you can let go of resentments, stress, and worry * literally re-wire your brain of its negative messages to free up energy to pursue your life's goals. Your confidence, peace of mind, and happiness will finally have a chance to thrive. The techniques in this book have transformed many people's lives. They can transform yours, too. "From singer and bassist, filmmaker and now author, Barbara Ireland, comes an inspired book that begins to translate the science of negative thinking and neural pathways for those of us without Ph.D's." - Stone Gossard, Pearl Jam "In the concept of Mind Loops, Barbara Ireland has identified the source of negativity, depression, and paralyzing feelings that undermine our dreams and well-being. In a sweeping act of creative genius she has distilled a number of simple remedies that will work for anyone willing to use them." -Wayne Lehrer, author, "The Prodigy Within" "Barbara's program gives you a road map and action plan to remove repetitive, negative thoughts from your life. I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream that was plagued by severe insecurities, anxiety and self-doubt due to the techniques found in Barbara's book. I highly recommend it!" -Amy W., Seattle, WA Two Free Bonuses Come With This Book! * A companion Mind Loops Workbook * An mp3 audiobook of Ireland reading, "The 7-Day Mental Diet: How To Change Your Life In a Week" by Dr. Emmet Fox - an inspiring and motivational "read" to start your program!
