In the end Ben acquires immense power, and through his consuming obsession almost becomes the very thing he seeks to destroy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human society, as we know it, goes back some 200,000 years to a time when we learned to speak and communicate our thoughts. The Nine Pillars of History are defined from nine basic requirements for a healthy and prosperous society during the following 190,000 years of Hunting and Gathering. Sexuality, a fundamental human need that goes even further back in history than society, had to be mitigated with a social rule: The Golden Rule. The Nine Pillars of History are used as non-political common denominators to judge the political evolution of some thirty major countries or cultures. In addition, the Pillars are partnered with the Golden Rule to explore five world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The relevance of The Nine Pillars of History is proven by the fact that they exist intergraded across multiple societies since the dawn of time and are still relevant for our modern world. This historical review reveals that dogmatic religions and harsh politics have caused 10,000 years of war by challenging the relevance of The Nine Pillars of History. Dr. Sevelius gives his views as nonpolitical, nonreligious thoughts. Each paragraph has been numbered to offer an easy to use reference system for community discussion of specific statements. The Nine Pillars of History gives you, Dear Friend and Reader, a vision for peace. As Dr. Sevelius respectfully borrows President Lincolns enduring truth, that governments of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the one thing every parent wants for their child? The universal answer: To be happy. How to Bring Up Happy Children, based on the Gross National Happiness principles of the small Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, is about bringing life transformative changes to young families. Saamdu Chetri uses his decades of experience in working with Bhutan's Gross National Happiness concept, and disseminating its principles to the world, to explain how parents who are content and grounded in the nine domains of human existence, enable the raising of happy children who have the natural ability to live in harmony with themselves, others, nature, and the greater universe. From young couples preparing for parenthood, to middle-aged parents navigating the difficult stages of confusion and inner conflict with their young adult children, this book spans every age and stage, helping every parent/caregiver to understand how nature and nurture blend in the evolution of a child to his/her highest potential. A life-long teacher, ecologist, philosopher and life-guide, Chetri guides parents on how to influence natural selection; how to gain a new perspective on collective and time-tested wisdom on thinking and doing; how to create standard life practices that encompass every domain of human life; how to break free of entrenched mindsets and habits and go beyond; and how to achieve both happiness and human potential. These valuable lessons in mindfulnesss open the door to an organic understanding of how to live as parents, in a society, and raise happy children who in turn contribute to creating a better world.
Download or read book The Path written by Stephen Sideroff and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is stressful. It's the most identified problem by adults. It is also one of the primary causes of symptoms that send us to the doctor. At the same time, most of us have great resistance to reducing our stress, or "managing" stress. Dr. Sideroff brings his over 40 years of work in the field of psychology as researcher, clinician, professor, trainer and consultant to this most important yet baffling issue of the 21st century. The Path: Mastering the Nine Pillars of Resilience and Success is based on his innovative new model of resilience that considers all factors that contribute to one's ability to navigate and master the challenges of today and live with the greatest level of health and success. His book however, goes beyond simply presenting important and useful information. He identifies and then addresses all the sources of resistance that interferes with addressing this problem. An example of this resistance is found in the concept of Primitive Gestalts that Dr. Sideroff identifies to explain how our brain develop based on childhood lessons and then freezes adaptation that interferes with new learning. Essentially, we adapt to our childhood environment and then get locked into these lessons. Dr. Sideroff is not simply interested in presenting important and useful information for the reader. He wants to make sure that the reader actually follows through and puts these lessons into practice. To do this he anticipates the defenses, blind spots and resistances of the reader and preemptively addresses them. One key factor that he deals with is the typical person's sense of overwhelm when facing the daunting list of behavioral, emotional and cognitive changes one feels they need to make to become resilient. Dr. Sideroff anticipates this and has created a device that he refers to as The Path. As a way of guiding the reader step by step on a journey of growth and increasing mastery he distills the process down to asking one question at any time: "Am I on The Path, or off The Path." As he explains, by working on the nine pillars of resilience, the reader begins to learn how to be on The Path. To avoid overwhelm, one only has to ask that one question, and if they determine that they are off The Path, the book guides them gently back onto The Path. Based on Dr. Sideroff's own brain research and clinical experience, the nine pillars cover such areas as relationship with self, relationship with others, relationship with something greater (spirituality, purpose and service), physical balance and mastery, mental balance and mastery, emotional balance and mastery, presence, flexibility and last, power (defined as the ability to get things done). This comprehensive model and program leaves no one behind in its goal of helping each reader develop greater resilience.

Download or read book The Nine Pillars of Wisdom written by Jean-Pierre Maurice and published by Société des Ecrivains. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be a little wiser. To know what we want from life, and to get it. To find happiness. These ordinary, honest aspirations often remain unfulfilled, usually because we don’t know which path to follow, which cards to play, but also because we don’t truly believe in ourselves. So which thread should we follow to lead us out of the labyrinth ? For Jean-Pierre Maurice, the answer is to draw inspiration from those who came before us, the words and ideas they left behind, those truths that have come down to us through the ages. From Epicurus to Abraham Lincoln, from Socrates to Aimé Césaire, you will find here many words that have the power to transform your life, to redefine the way you look at the world... Accompanied by the author, this book will teach you the nine fundamental rules that will enable you to find serenity. The keys to success and happiness are not something that can be invented. They’ve existed throughout history, in the form of proverbs, maxims, aphorisms. And here, the author of The Nine Pillars of Wisdom rekindles them in a work that invites meditation, reflection and self-examination. There are no soothing or bombastic speeches in this book, only examples from life and phrases that signpost life and how to live it. "You will love reading "The Nine Pillars of Wisdom".
Download or read book Business Ethics 3 0 written by Erhard Meyer-Galow and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reputation of business managers is declining due to their disregard for moral decisions and ethical practices. Business students are currently taught only technical knowledge without concern for being compassionately and holistic engaged. However, when entering the business sector these graduates encounter a world which necessitates difficult, personally challenging decisions, ones for which technical knowledge is insufficient. Successful, sustainable resolutions can only be expected to result from a holistic, sustainable approach which accommodates the difficulty in balancing ethical practices with the demands for ever-increasing profits. This unique graduate textbook addresses the issue of business ethics from the perspective of an individual’s internal growth facilitated by a consideration of the principles of depth psychology, spiritual wisdom, meditation, and quantum physics, written by a CEO with an enormous business background. It not only promotes a new ethical approach, but also addresses the implementation of this new approach in the most important business sectors as a replacement for previous ineffective codes of conduct which have failed. It’s a must read for business students with aspirations of becoming managers or entrepreneurs in the economic sector as well as for all young professionals, managers and entrepreneurs to improve their ethical performance and sustainable success. Message from the author This book creates an impetus for change in a business world where unethical practices are rampant by providing a suggested a New Integral Ethics for the economy, an ethical approach based upon inner psychological and spiritual development arising from a serious consideration of Depth Psychology. Readers will learn how adoption of specific Practices, which lead to inner growth and spiritual maturity, will result in ethical, morally sound business practices not because they are mandated, but because once the SELF is actualized, you cannot do otherwise. Laws, appeals and directives which have never successfully resulted in ethical practices become unnecessary, replaced by intrinsically ethical individuals who collectively influence corporate ethical behaviour. This is a giant leap into a new dimension in our globalized, digitized economy. "Business Ethics 3.0, by Erhard Meyer-Galow provides a much needed beacon of light to a segment of our society that seem to be sinking deeper and deeper into darkness. The term "business ethics", once an important topic within the business community, has slowly descended through the fog of profitable ends justifying unprincipled means to become nothing more than a self-contradictory oxymoron -- especially among large international corporations. In Business Ethics 3.0, Erhard Meyer-Galow has taken a fresh approach that appeals to individual personal growth rather than the usual proffering of academic arguments that are not implementable in the real world of relentless Machiavellian competition. Only through raising and improving individual awareness and responsibility can real long-term change have a chance of developing. Business Ethics 3.0 is on the right track with a positive and compelling message...may it succeed where the academics have failed." Thomas Campbell, physicist, consciousness researcher, author of My big TOE Finalist at the 2018 Humanistic Management Book Awards

Download or read book The Economics of Sustainable Development and Distribution written by Dariusz Pieńkowski and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a broad transdisciplinary background, this book compares distributive justice systems and related socioeconomic institutions within the liberal and sustainable development traditions. Confronting the capitalist worldview of prominent Nobel Prize–winning economist Milton Friedman, the book offers a theoretical framework for sustainable development: a new paradigm of economics grounded in environmental and social issues. The analysis takes as its starting point that the development and evolution of human beings is codetermined by socioeconomic institutions. These institutions facilitate models of society, morality and human behaviour: they are all social constructs. This matters because the liberal system of justice uses the claim that ‘life is unfair’ as the justification of socioeconomic inequalities, and it is these institutions which determine the concepts of fairness and justice. Therefore, the liberal system’s favouring of entrepreneurs should require advance measures to safeguard the interests of the losers—instead, it seeks to justify their misfortunes. It is argued that this liberal notion of fairness can only be fairly executed in conditions of perfect market competition, which have never existed. In contrast, the principles of sustainable development pay attention to the problems generated by the unjust and unfair distribution of resources and postulate wider use of the fairness formula ‘to each according to their needs’. It is thus more focused on fair ends than on fair procedures. This book is addressed to scholars and advanced students in ecological economics, environmental economics, economics of sustainable development and political science.

Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.
