Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish by birth, though from a secular family, Alan Morinis explored Hinduism and Buddhism as a young man. But in 1997, in the face of personal crisis, he turned to his Jewish heritage for guidance. In his reading he happened upon a Jewish spiritual tradition called Mussar. Gradually he realized that he had stumbled upon an insightful discipline for self-development, complete with meditative, contemplative, and other well-developed transformative practices designed to penetrate the deepest roots of the inner life. Eventually reaching the limits of what he could learn on his own, he decided to seek out a Mussar teacher. This was not an easy task, since almost the entire world of the Mussar tradition had been wiped out in the Holocaust. In time, he found an accomplished master who stood in an unbroken line of transmission of the Mussar tradition, and who lived in the center of a community of Orthodox Jews on Long Island. This book tells the story of Morinis’s journey to meet his teacher and what he learned from him, revealing the central teachings and practices that are the spiritual treasury and legacy of Mussar.

Book excerpt: Jacob's Journey is an ageless tale of wisdom and compassion that follows Jacob the Baker on a journey to restore inner peace - a moving sequel to the international best-seller Jacob the Baker. Once there was a time when Jacob, a poor but pious baker, lived an anonymous life in a timeless community. Then all of that changed, changed forever, when one of Jacob's remarkable little notes to himself found its way into the village's bread. He became regarded as a wise man, and the townspeople sought him out for advice and commentary. All the while, Jacob struggled to maintain his simple life as a baker. Now, when the town decides to honor him, Jacob is caught by their attention. He undertakes a journey to restore his sense of well being, to reconnect with simpler things. Jacob's Journey chronicles that spiritual journey. This is a fable not about being well known, but about knowing yourself well. When Jacob realizes he must leave his house if he is ever to come home, he discovers that the first person he meets along the way is himself. As he puts it: "A man who is alone with himself is not without company." Since each of us is alone on our journey, we sometimes pack our fears for company. From now on, you may want to turn to Jacob, a wise and gentle friend, a friend who allows you distance but is never far away. Here are some of Jacob's s thoughts to take with you along the way: "Taking a moment expands time." "Growing old is a contradiction in terms." "What we see in others is another way of looking at ourselves." "When we shut our eyes, is it the truth that goes into hiding?" "A giant is anyone who remembers we are all sitting on someone else's shoulders." This book is a treasure of plain-spoken wisdom, a book about a humble man with a vision that will inspire and comfort you.

Download or read book Thanks A Thousand written by A. J. Jacobs and published by Simon & Schuster/ TED. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea was deceptively simple: New York Times bestselling author A.J. Jacobs decided to thank every single person involved in producing his morning cup of coffee. The resulting journey takes him across the globe, transforms his life, and reveals secrets about how gratitude can make us all happier, more generous, and more connected. Author A.J. Jacobs discovers that his coffee—and every other item in our lives—would not be possible without hundreds of people we usually take for granted: farmers, chemists, artists, presidents, truckers, mechanics, biologists, miners, smugglers, and goatherds. By thanking these people face to face, Jacobs finds some much-needed brightness in his life. Gratitude does not come naturally to Jacobs—his disposition is more Larry David than Tom Hanks—but he sets off on the journey on a dare from his son. And by the end, it’s clear to him that scientific research on gratitude is true. Gratitude’s benefits are legion: It improves compassion, heals your body, and helps battle depression. Jacobs gleans wisdom from vivid characters all over the globe, including the Minnesota miners who extract the iron that makes the steel used in coffee roasters, to the Madison Avenue marketers who captured his wandering attention for a moment, to the farmers in Colombia. Along the way, Jacobs provides wonderful insights and useful tips, from how to focus on the hundreds of things that go right every day instead of the few that go wrong. And how our culture overemphasizes the individual over the team. And how to practice the art of “savoring meditation” and fall asleep at night. Thanks a Thousand is a reminder of the amazing interconnectedness of our world. It shows us how much we take for granted. It teaches us how gratitude can make our lives happier, kinder, and more impactful. And it will inspire us to follow our own “Gratitude Trails.”
