Download or read book How to Relax written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh shares relaxing meditations and mindfulness techniques in this pocket-sized guide about the importance of taking the time to stop, relax, and recharge. How to Relax is part of The Mindfulness Essentials series of how-to titles by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, introducing beginners and reminding seasoned practitioners of the essentials of mindfulness practice. Pocket-sized, with original two color illustrations by celebrated artist Jason DeAntonis, How to Relax shows how critical it is to regularly interrupt the hub-bub and routine of our lives to stop, relax mindfully, and recharge. Thich Nhat Hanh says that when we relax, we “become calm water, and we will reflect reality as it is. If we’re not calm, the image we reflect will be distorted. When the image is distorted by our minds, it’s not the reality, and it causes lots of suffering.” Relaxation is essential for accessing the tranquility and joy that lead to increased personal well-being. With sections on healing, relief from nonstop thinking, transforming unpleasant sounds, solitude, being peace, and more, How to Relax includes meditations you can do to help you achieve the benefits of relaxation no matter where you are. Scientific studies indicate that meditation contributes tremendously to well-being, general health, and longevity. How to Relax is a unique gift for those who want a simple guide to achieving deep relaxation, controlling stress, and renewing mental freshness and clarity, appropriate for those practicing in any spiritual tradition, whether seasoned practitioners or new to meditations.

Download or read book How to Do Nothing written by Jenny Odell and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.
Download or read book The Most Fun We Ever Had written by Claire Lombardo and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • “A gripping and poignant ode to a messy, loving family in all its glory.” —Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe In this “rich, complex family saga” (USA Today) full of long-buried family secrets, Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, blithely ignorant of all that awaits them. By 2016, they have four radically different daughters, each in a state of unrest. Wendy, widowed young, soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator turned stay-at-home-mom, battles anxiety and self-doubt; Liza, a neurotic and newly tenured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she's not sure she wants by a man she's not sure she loves; and Grace, the dawdling youngest daughter, begins living a lie that no one in her family even suspects. With the unexpected arrival of young Jonah Bendt—a child placed for adoption by one of the daughters fifteen years before—the Sorensons will be forced to reckon with the rich and varied tapestry of their past. As they grapple with years marred by adolescent angst, infidelity, and resentment, they also find the transcendent moments of joy that make everything else worthwhile.
Download or read book Relax More Try Less written by Neville Goddard and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about getting what you want by relaxing more. More specifically, this book will show you the necessity of relaxing in order to get what you want. The unusual recommendations on the following pages are practical suggestions that you can start using immediately. Whatever you are looking for in life - whether it's more money, improved health, better relationships, more free time, a greater sense of well-being, or a fancier car - you'll often get it faster if you try less. Obviously, this isn't the normal way we think about how to acquire what we want. Our first inclination is always to try harder if we deeply desire something. We think we must work hard, and put in a lot of effort, in order to make our desires come to fruition. But the truth of the matter is that trying hard does not work well for most people. The majority of us who try hard to improve our lives still don't get what we really want. We want to get better things in our life, we try very hard to get them - and our best intentions still manage to get screwed up. I can't begin to tell you how many times I have tried hard and still managed to fail in reaching my goal. It's nothing to be embarrassed about; it's just the truth. Most of the time trying so hard really doesn't get us what we hope it will. So here's a logical question: what would happen if we stopped trying so hard? What if there's an easier way to receive what we want in life? What if we allow ourselves, instead of trying hard, to relax with more consistency? The surprising answer is that by relaxing more we can immediately start to feel wealthy within ourselves. And, from there, an even more stunning development occurs: our new sense of self-wealth miraculously starts to manifest itself in our outer world. In short, we can get more of what we want in life simply by relaxing more. By allowing ourselves to relax, we begin to naturally fall into a state of subtle gratitude and humility. Similarly, relaxation fills us with strong feelings of peaceful resignation, of momentarily not seeking or wanting anything. In such a comfortable state of not trying, ironically, we become the human definition of natural wealth, and are much more capable of receiving what we desire. Relaxing in such a way doesn't have to involve specifically thinking about, or imagining, having lots of money, or living some kind of "luxurious" lifestyle. We can imagine having lots of money if we want to - but deep mental relaxation is more subtle, encompassing and effective than just thinking about money or anything else you may want. We're naturally and profoundly abundant when we're deeply relaxed. If we feel more relaxed our life can literally start taking care of itself, minus all the stressful effort. Attempting to try so hard to meet our goals is largely a cultural affect that we can decide to discard. Relaxation is the opposite of struggle. We don't "try" to relax; we surrender to peaceful feelings of relaxation. This book is to be used pragmatically. Take advantage of it however you like, come back to it as many times as you want, and enjoy the material. Relaxation is something worth knowing about, and it can change your life.
