Download or read book Anima written by Pierce Kelley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book I provide my answers to the questions which mankind has asked since the beginning of time: Is there a God? Is there a heaven? Is there an after-life? Do we reincarnate? Do we have an eternal soul? What is a “soul”? After 75 years of life as a lawyer, professor, author, professional athlete, father, husband, brother and friend to many, I have had innumerable experiences, just as every other mature adult has. I have traveled extensively, seen much and done much. I think it is my duty, and responsibility, to share my thoughts on such matters. I know full-well that no one knows, for certain, what those answers are, and probably never will. Regardless, I think every man and woman must examine their lives, and be ready to answer such questions if there is, in fact, a “God” to whom we must provide such answers. As Socrates said many centuries ago, an unexamined life is not worth leading. It is one thing to think about such things, and then to say them out loud, and quite another to put them down on paper for others to read and criticize. I am not trying to convince others that I am right and they are wrong. Again, as Socrates was reportedly quite fond of saying, I know nothing. I have examined my life and these are the conclusions I have reached.

Book excerpt: The timeless guide to achieving the state of “relaxed concentration” that’s not only the key to peak performance in tennis but the secret to success in life itself—now in a 50th anniversary edition with an updated epilogue, a foreword by Bill Gates, and an updated preface from NFL coach Pete Carroll “Groundbreaking . . . the best guide to getting out of your own way . . . Its profound advice applies to many other parts of life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes (“Five of My All-Time Favorite Books”) This phenomenally successful guide to mastering the game from the inside out has become a touchstone for hundreds of thousands of people. Billie Jean King has called the book her tennis bible; Al Gore has used it to focus his campaign staff; and Itzhak Perlman has recommended it to young violinists. Based on W. Timothy Gallwey’s profound realization that the key to success doesn’t lie in holding the racket just right, or positioning the feet perfectly, but rather in keeping the mind uncluttered, this transformative book gives you the tools to unlock the potential that you’ve possessed all along. “The Inner Game” is the one played within the mind of the player, against the hurdles of self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses in concentration. Gallwey shows us how to overcome these obstacles by trusting the intuitive wisdom of our bodies and achieving a state of “relaxed concentration.” With chapters devoted to trusting the self and changing habits, it is no surprise then, that Gallwey’s method has had an impact far beyond the confines of the tennis court. Whether you want to play music, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. In this fiftieth-anniversary edition, the principles of the Inner Game shine through as more relevant today than ever before. No matter your goals, The Inner Game of Tennis gives you the definitive framework for long-term success.
