Download or read book Navigating the Rapids and the Waves of Life written by Mavis Mazhura and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our emotions influence our responses and subsequent reactions to change or to lifes experiences. For a lot of us, our formal and informal education systems did not provide the skills to navigate the changes and challenges we encounter in life. The good thing, though, is that we can still learn it along the way, at whatever stage we are in life. I experienced this kind of learning on the Nile Riverrafting without prior knowledge but with willingness to learn, change the status quo, practice, become better, and be flexible enough to let adventure in. I was a mediocre paddler, and I didnt know how to swimbut I was willing to learn. It is out of that adventure that I am able to reflect on the metaphor of a river as our daily life. The key lessons I took from the river raft that I have seen as key in learning and applying emotional intelligence in our lives for overall success are: Know your course. Stay present. Dont give power to external conditions. Adapt purposely. Have some tools and options. Team with people who are creating the results that you want. Dont flow back on yourself: Get out of obstructions as soon as possibleyour whole life still awaits you! Recharge. Flow on purpose and live. Celebrate the unsung hero inside you.

Franz Krause examines fishing, transport and hydropower on the Kemi River and analyses the profoundly rhythmic patterns in the river dwellers' activities and the river's dynamics. The course of the seasons and weekly and daily rhythms of discharge, temperature, work and other patterns make the river dwellers' world an ever-transforming phenomenon. The flows of life and the frictions of everyday encounters continually remake the river and its inhabitants, negotiating national strategies, economic power, people's ingenuity, and the currents of the Kemi River.

Download or read book Barbarian Days written by William Finnegan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Autobiography** Included in President Obama’s 2016 Summer Reading List “Without a doubt, the finest surf book I’ve ever read . . . ” —The New York Times Magazine Barbarian Days is William Finnegan’s memoir of an obsession, a complex enchantment. Surfing only looks like a sport. To initiates, it is something else: a beautiful addiction, a demanding course of study, a morally dangerous pastime, a way of life. Raised in California and Hawaii, Finnegan started surfing as a child. He has chased waves all over the world, wandering for years through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa. A bookish boy, and then an excessively adventurous young man, he went on to become a distinguished writer and war reporter. Barbarian Days takes us deep into unfamiliar worlds, some of them right under our noses—off the coasts of New York and San Francisco. It immerses the reader in the edgy camaraderie of close male friendships forged in challenging waves. Finnegan shares stories of life in a whites-only gang in a tough school in Honolulu. He shows us a world turned upside down for kids and adults alike by the social upheavals of the 1960s. He details the intricacies of famous waves and his own apprenticeships to them. Youthful folly—he drops LSD while riding huge Honolua Bay, on Maui—is served up with rueful humor. As Finnegan’s travels take him ever farther afield, he discovers the picturesque simplicity of a Samoan fishing village, dissects the sexual politics of Tongan interactions with Americans and Japanese, and navigates the Indonesian black market while nearly succumbing to malaria. Throughout, he surfs, carrying readers with him on rides of harrowing, unprecedented lucidity. Barbarian Days is an old-school adventure story, an intellectual autobiography, a social history, a literary road movie, and an extraordinary exploration of the gradual mastering of an exacting, little-understood art.

Download or read book Flying Off Everest written by Dave Costello and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perched impossibly on a ridge overlooking a 10,000-foot drop into Tibet, Sano Babu Sunuwar and Lakpa Tsheri Sherpa wait. Heel to toe, connected at the waist by a pair of carabineers that’s connected to nothing else, they stare down the North Face of Mount Everest, a red and white nylon tandem paragliding wing fluttering behind them. They know that jumping off the top of the world marks only the beginning of a longer, more audacious journey. And they know that the two-mile ride down Everest will be the easiest part. If the jump doesn’t kill them. In April 2011 the two unsponsored Nepalis set out on an unprecedented expedition to climb Everest, paraglide from its peak, and paddle nearly 400 miles to the ocean. Little problems wouldn’t stop them. Like the fact that Babu had no technical climbing experience. And that Lakpa had never been kayaking—or swimming. But after summiting, surviving their flight off the world’s tallest mountain, and being arrested, robbed, and nearly drowned—repeatedly—the two friends discovered their adventure had only just begun.
Download or read book STEP BY STEP WELLNESS BLUEPRINT written by Pramod Sharma and published by Shashwat Publication. This book was released on 2023-04-19 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STEP -BY-STEP WELLNESS BLUEPRINT Do you occasionally find yourself dragged into the never-ending whirlpool of interrogations and become stuck constantly? Do you always hear the following sounds playing in your head? Why are we here? Why should we coexist peacefully? Why is letting go of the past baggage important? How can waiting until later decrease the power of our dreams? How does gratitude work its magic? How does nature nourish? How do relationships become toxic, and how do they get back on track? How has parenting changed in this digitally advanced era, and how can the strength and enthusiasm of young people be harnessed? Why does this only occur to me? If so, you have made the right buddy and are at the perfect place. The difficulties that arise from all areas of life and ultimately drive us into the depths of stress, anxiety, and fear—the modern-day demons—tend to be solved step-by-step in this book. We all experience stress now that we have adopted a modern lifestyle, but we are not even aware of it. A harmonious state seems far away, and any disturbance to the body and mind's equilibrium causes stress. Career, life, relationship, marriage, wealth creation, etc., if all these things fall into place, life becomes meaningful, but if there is an incongruity between our current state and the desired state, it undoubtedly gives birth to stress. This book gives readers insight into how crucial it is to manage stress lest it wreck our lives and turn us into psychologically and emotionally ill individuals. This book not only outlines some very straightforward yet effective techniques and suggests some small adjustments to daily routines that one should make in order to reduce stress and make life itself meaningful, but it also divulges the key to transformational radiance and energy. This book seeks to address the HOW and WHY of our existence, to put it briefly.
