Download or read book The Seven Cs of Happiness written by Jagdish Patel and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-09-24 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seven Cs of Happiness is a book about achievement of long lasting and meaningful happiness. It shows how all of us can use common sense and moderation to be happy. It will help you understand happiness and provide a useful guide, not an answer, to a happy and successful life. It is not prescriptive, nor is it based on any of the old time religions, new age theories, Freudian principles, or other popular or esoteric doctrines. If anything, two underlying premises the book follows are; common sense and moderation. Part I explains the meaning of happiness and how it relates to our lives. It paves a way to a better understanding of the role of happiness in life. In addition, steps are laid out to focus and coordinate our goals, desires, and wishes to create a meaningful life. Part II provides how the seven Cs (Commitment, Communication, Contentment, Character, Courage, Compassion, Compromise), may be used to help us become happy. These seven elements of a happy life have been written and talked about throughout the history of mankind. In fact, one may say that the basis of these Cs is the most important C of them all, Common Sense. Although each of the elements is discussed separately, all of them, to some degree, are necessary for the pursuit of happiness. The seven Cs are easy to understand, although a little more difficult to live by , as they are inter-related in the application to our daily lives. The chapters in Part II are not arranged in any order of importance. Not a single C is sufficient for all your needs, nor are all the Cs needed at all the time. Depending on an individuals priorities and needs, for a specific situation, significance and application of the elements will be very different. So, there are situations where Compromise may be of more value than Commitment. People of all occupations, from the president of a large corporation to the layman in the street , from a housewife to a young man in college, should be able to benefit from this book.

After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie subsequently wrote a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, to share her story. Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind. In this revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide, with translations in 29 languages, Bronnie expresses how significant these regrets are and how we can positively address these issues while we still have the time. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying gives hope for a better world. It is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.

Download or read book Authentic Happiness written by Martin E. P. Seligman and published by William Heinemann. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the international bestseller, Learned Optimism, comes a ground-breaking look at the nature of happiness and how everyone has the power to inject real joy into their lives. Martin E. Seligman is the international leader of the Positive Psychology Movement. His first trade book, the international bestseller Learned Optimism, greatly influenced the way people thought about mental health by bringing the concepts of cognitive psychology to a mass audience. Authentic Happiness is an even bigger ground-breaker. It represents the first time any scientist has placed value in the study not only of mental illness, but of 'mental wellness.' It's not about curing one's ills, but about exercising one's strengths and virtues in order to achieve what Seligman terms 'authentic happiness.' The life-changing lesson of Authentic Happiness is that, by assessing the very best in ourselves, we can improve the world around us and achieve new and lasting levels of genuine contentment and joy.

Download or read book Figure of This World written by Mathew Abbott and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if we've been wrong when reading Agamben? Mathew Abbott argues that Agamben's thought is misunderstood when read in terms of critical theory or traditional political philosophy. Instead, he shows that it engages with political ontology: studying the political stakes of the question of being. Abbot demonstrates the crucial influence of Martin Heidegger on Agamben's work, locating it in the post-Heideggerian tradition of the critique of metaphysics. As he clarifies it, Abbott links Agamben's philosophy with Wittgenstein's picture theory and Heidegger's concept of the world-picture, showing the importance of this for understanding - and potentially overcoming - the forms of alienation characteristic of the society of the spectacle.
