Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love wins, hate ruins. Human, by nature, loves more readily than hates occasionally. The book, How to Win Nature and Enjoy Good Life, explores innate human nature and its relationship with nature. This book along with its four companion books—Nature Is My Teacher; Of Human Nature and Good Habits; Life, Living and Lifestyle and Health and Medical Care—constitutes a series that tells the nature-human connection and its implication in our daily life, in the related set of separate episodes. How to Win Nature and Enjoy Good Life primarily deals with love, relationship, marriage and family life. It contains chapters: Love and Relationships (Love is hard to describe; it is often bewildering and unknowable. You may never know even in your lifetime. But you can’t miss to sense it.); Marriage (To be a woman, childlessness is a private sorrow. Childlessness signifies a rolling loss into the future. It means no children, and no grandchildren.); Family (Today, children suffer from the lack of love and care, affection and attention from their parents on a daily basis.); Children (Children are the most valuable resources of this planet—one-third of our population and all of our generation. If you want to give one gift to your child, then let it be enthusiasm.); Friends and Society (Most Americans are home alone (2.6 people per household), drive alone (1.6 per car), and stay alone.); Life Is Good (Research on well-being basically concentrates on three core factors: health, relationships, and a sense of purpose.); Life is Beautiful (Life is half spent before we envision what life is. We are sorry for the past and worry for the future. But true living never has to be all regrets of the past or all prospects of the future.); Live Young, Live Long (Globally, life expectancy grows and shrinks according to income trends.); Enjoy Good Food (Food is remarkably a bonding force. Survey finds that in more than a quarter of families, food is considered to be an emotional response and a meaningful way to show affection.); How Food Works (Breakfast jump-starts the metabolism process of the day. So, don’t skip or mess it up. People who do not break fast soon after rising (half an hour or so), or take breakfast later in the morning, typically consume more calories over the course of the day and run a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and obesity.) Diet and Nutrition (Humans evolved to eat. Anthropologists looked at the diets, habits and physical activities of hundreds of modern hunter-gatherer groups and small-scale societies, whose lifestyles are very similar to those of ancient populations, and find that they all generally exhibit excellent metabolic health while consuming a wide range of diets.); Herbs and Spices (The herb is always of plant origin. It is not of animal origin; nor is it a supplement that was developed in a lab.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, Nature Is My Teacher, reveals the deep emotional conviction between human evolution and civilization! This book along with its four companion books—Of Human Nature and Good Habits; Life, Living and Lifestyle; How to Win Nature and Enjoy Good Life and Health and Medical Care—constitutes a series that tells the nature-human connection and its implication in our daily life, in the related set of separate episodes. Nature Is My Teacher primarily deals with the physical, notional, and real world in general. The book contains chapters: The Nature (When nature teaches, we learn.); Mother Nature (Mother has been and will always remain synonymous with love, devotion, and dedication. Its personification as a nurturing mother is so primitive.); The Universe (The universe is a source of our profound wonder, awe, and joy.); Planet Earth (Why do the sun and the moon look more of the same size?); The Weather (By weather, we generally mean the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place.); The Air We Breathe (Every human deserves clean air and blue sky.) The Water We Drink (Human civilizations grew, shrunk, or abolished depending on the availability of water.) The Future of Nature (The full melting of Greenland’s ice could raise sea level as much as 20 feet.); Origin of Life (What sparked life on earth?); Gift of Life (Life is the best gift to the fortunate few who got it.); Human Life (Human development is not only impossibly complex, but it is also a just marvelous.); Human Evolution (Human Evolution by natural selection is now being switched to evolution by human intervention.); Self and the Rest of the World (I am here because of you!); Time Goes By (Time is a very precious thing.); Life Changes Over Time (Humans are socially elastic and adaptive.); Worries, Anxieties, Fear, and Regret (We suffer from worrying well before worry starts or never starts.); How to Deal with Stress (The contemporary idea of stress is a very recent phenomenon.); Depression (Please stop merchandising mental illness!); Kindness and Devotion (Among all our base instincts, hate is one distinctly human. In animals, strength, violence, and venom are the weapons of survival, but in humans, their supremacy.); Charity and Humanity (Cheese in the mousetrap is not a charity.); The Power of Hope (Hope is a wonderful trick that Mother Nature has planted in the human mind that counterbalances our grief, sorrow, fear, dread, and regret. Hope is not a strategy, yet it is. During the time of war, hope is the weapon.); Education and Experience (We are not born knowledgeable. We gather knowledge primarily through education. Education is not a privilege; it is a civil right, precisely, a human right that refers to the “basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.”)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A life is what is given to us; a lifestyle is what is given by us. Research claims that maintaining only 5 good habits—eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, drinking only in moderation, not smoking and maintaining a healthy body weight—can not only keep the life vibrant through years but also extend a woman’s life expectancy at age 50 by 14 years, and a man’s by 12 years.

The book contains chapters: Active Lifestyle (As we grow, we travel through a series of institutional communities: first our family, then our school and university, then the workplace, then local and global institutions.); Play and Exercise (The guidelines of World Health Organization (WHO) on physical activity for an adult is very attainable: 75 minutes of vigorous exercise or 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.); Joy of Yoga (“I lost weight,” “I quit smoking,” “It de-stressed me,” “I sleep better,” “It saved my marriage,” “It improved my child’s grades,” “I am now pregnant,” “It saved my family”—on and on and on goes the claims of yoga’s practitioners.); Lose Weight (By definition, in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, the BMI number is a person’s weight in kilograms (kg) divided by square of height in meters (m). BMI=kg/m^2.); Walking and Running (An adult can walk 17,000 steps a day comfortably, which is roughly 7 to 8 miles.); Quit Smoking (The truth of smoking is disease, death, and horror—not glory, glamour, or pleasure.); Sleep (Sleep is by far the single critical factor, and definitely a calmest booster to improve the brain function.); Life, Living and Work Ethics (Simple life has its own reward.); Science and Technology (The tiny computer chips are embedded in all our gadgets, devices, and machines, from cell phone to brain cell, from microscope to telescope, and from subatomic level to space-level equipment.); Organize Yourself (For organizational skill, discipline is at the root.); Work and Workplace (In a global job war, according to a Gallup poll in 2011, out of 7 billion people worldwide, there were 5 billion people over fifteen years old, out of which 3 billion wanted full-time jobs, while there were available only 1.2 billion jobs.); Personal Finance and Money Habits (Poverty is not a shame, but being ashamed of it, is. Young minds are systematically victimized. When they grow up, they feel the guilt and shame of poverty.)

This book along with its four companion books—Nature Is My Teacher; Of Human Nature and Good Habits; Life, Living and Lifestyle and How to Win Nature and Enjoy Good Life—constitutes a series that tells the nature-human connection and its implication in our daily life, in the related set of separate episodes. Health and Medical Care deals with health and medical care services, and primarily, aids to prevent diseases and stay healthy and thrive. The book contains chapters: Men’s Health (Recent findings suggest that men’s shorter life span is not due to genetic reasons only; it has partly to do with their behavior, lifestyle, and living conditions.); Women’s Health (Although in medical terms, it does not deem that the developing embryo or fetus is as a child, an expecting mother is so attached to the pregnancy so early on that when the miscarriage happens, the woman loses not just a pregnancy but a child of her own—the very dream of her motherhood. Someone she loved, was never born!); Children’s Health (Research indicates that 22% of babies who were exposed to antibiotics before 6 months of age have an increased likelihood of being overweight by age 3, compared with unexposed infants.); Medical Care (The health care will represent 20% of the total economy in 2025.); Human Organs (The eye is the extension of the brain.

Type 2 diabetes is also a lifelong chronic condition where the pancreas produces the insulin, but the body is partially or completely incapable of using that insulin, or the cells ignore the insulin altogether.); The Cancer (Cancer is not just one disease but a set of allied diseases in which a group of cells (a) demonstrate uncontrolled growth and divide beyond the normal limits; (b) invade adjacent tissues; and sometimes (c) metastasize, which is very dangerous because it involves an interaction between rogue cells and healthy cells.) Old Age and Death (The inevitability of death infuses us with a meaning and an urgency. Let Mother Nature give you the last kiss of life. You leave the earth dramatically alone and absolutely by yourself.)

It is the momentum of our mind! Music is a special announcement how one’s feel of feelings is expressed in the form of sound.); Nature and Natural Habits (Man invents a mousetrap, but nature plays a better mouse.); Be Wise (Be aware of data aggression.

Don’t ingest anything that you can’t digest.); Be Happy (Count carefully what makes you worthwhile and happy, and discount wisely what makes you worthless and unhappy.); Be Honest, Simple, and Natural (Honesty is the state of mind; dishonesty is not.

Gelek Rimpoche tells stories of the mystical Tibet he lived in, as well as the contemporary America he is now a citizen of, and shares the wisdom of the great masters. He asks us to open our minds and see if we can entertain a bigger picture of life after life, even for a moment. He makes the connection between powerful emotions such as anger, obsession, jealousy and pride, and our past as well as our future.

This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity and Livelihood: Lessons from Community Research in India Is a compilation of research articles on the ecological biodiversity and local conservation efforts of selected regions in India, and among local communities throughout the county. 18 chapters have been contributed by experts in ecology, sustainability and ethnic studies in India. The chapters provide information on a wide range of tops which cover local communities, their agricultural practices and the ecological relationships between their community and the species on which their livelihood depends. Contributions emphasize different aspects of these topics, such as observational ecological information about the aforementioned regions and communities, the local biodiversity, tribal customs of ethnic communities that are linked to conservation, specific programs which are aimed at the conservation of specific plant and animal species endemic to the region, the benefits shared by the communities involved with conservation programs and recommendations shared by the authors for sustainable management of the regional ecosystem and its resources. Readers will find a wealth of information about biodiversity conservation in different regions in India (most notably the western and eastern ghats and provinces such as Kerala and Andhra Pradesh), from a basic and applied perspective. The book is, therefore, an informative reference for conservationists, ecologists, environmentalists and ethnologists who are studying the biodiversity and conservation of India. Readers involved in sustainable development programs in the region will also find the content valuable to their knowledge.

Download or read book Christian Ethics written by Robin W. Lovin and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this excellent outline of Christian ethics, Robin W. Lovin achieves a balance between the questions and issues which form the core of the study of ethics and the life situations from which those questions arise. Eschewing a sectarian approach which dismisses other understandings of the moral life, Lovin nonetheless lays claim to a specifically Christian understanding of ethics. He begins with basic Christian convictions about the reality of God and human redemption and weaves these convictions into the fabric of moral concerns that are widely shared in contemporary society. He takes note of the problems that arise when Christians try to act on or enforce their convictions in a pluralistic society and recognizes the variety of theological and moral beliefs that are held within the Christian community, as well as in the wider society.
Download or read book The Good Life written by Burton F. Porter and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for use in the introduction to ethics course, The Good Life: Options in Ethics, Fifth Edition is designed to engage today's practical-minded student in more fundamental questions. The book ranges from ideals in living (the good) to contemporary moral problems (the right), exploring and analyzing both areas in order to stimulate deeper reflection. The first section of the book clears away the obstacles to pursuing ethical understanding - relativism, determinism, and egoism. Then traditional definitions of the good life are discussed, theories such as hedonism, self-realization, duty, evolutionism, religious ethics, and virtue ethic. The final section addresses today's social problems including abortion, euthanasia, animal welfare, capital punishment, and sexual morality. Provocative questions are raised throughout such as "Does mutual consent legitimize any behavior or are there actions we ought not to consent to?" "Are there better and worse ways for us to enjoy ourselves?" "If self-actualization is the ideal, then can we fault Atilla the Hun or Genghis Khan for realizing themselves?"
Download or read book Negotiating the Good Life written by Mark A. Young and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries philosophers have wrestled with the dichotomy between individual freedom on the one hand and collective solidarity on the other. Yet today there is a growing realization that this template is fundamentally flawed. In this book, Mark Young embraces and advocates a more holistic concept of freedom; one which is not merely defined negatively but which positively provides the preconditions for individuals to actively exercise their autonomy and to flourish as human beings in the process. Young posits the idea of 'freedom in community' and traces its origin back to Aristotle. Taking as his premise that humans are deeply social beings who live their lives intricately interwoven with each other, he examines what type of political community is relevant for us in this post-Classical, post-Enlightenment and, indeed, post-Existential world. Identifying the failure of traditional 'statist' models of politics, Young instead argues for a civil society: a globally interlinked and free set of liberal communities as the best context for nourishing human flourishing. In this way we can achieve a proper setting for Eudaimonia in a modern sense.

Download or read book Happiness Flourishing and the Good Life written by Garrett Thomson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well-being studies is an exciting and relatively new multi-disciplinary field, with data being gathered from different domains in order to improve social policies. In its reliance on a truncated account of well-being based implicitly on neoclassical economic assumptions, however, the field is deeply flawed. Departing from reductive accounts of well-being that exclude the normative or evaluative aspect of the concept and so impoverish the attendant conception of human life, this book offers a new perspective on what counts normatively as being well. In reconceptualising well-being holistically, it presents a fresh vista on how we can consider the meanings of human life in a manner that also serves as a source of constructive social critique. The book thus undertakes to invert the usual approach to the social sciences, in which the research is required to be objective in terms of methodology and subjective with regard to evaluative claims. Instead, the authors are deliberately objective about values in order to be more open to the subjectivities of human life. Happiness, Flourishing and the Good Life thus seeks to move away from economic considerations’ domination of all social spaces in order to understand the possibilities of well-being beyond instrumentalisation or commodification. A radical new approach to the human well-being, this book will appeal to philosophers, social theorists and political scientists and all who are interested in human happiness.
