So when I speak of a habitual disinclination toward effort, I am speaking specifically about purposeful effort. In what ways are we sabotaging ourselves, and how can we extricate ourselves from the mire of self-indulgence?”—from Breaking Free from Sloth

Download or read book Breaking Free of Nehru written by Sanjeev Sabhlok and published by Breaking Free of Nehru. This book was released on 2008 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses the impact of Nehruvian socialism on freedom in India. It reflects on India s post-independence experience and finds that India needs to move well beyond socialist paradigms towards freedom and innovation if it wishes to retrieve its status as a great nation. It then traces the causes of India`s political and bureaucratic corruption, its poverty, and its large, illiterate population. The book then proposes numerous ways to transform India`s governance thorough competitive, freedom-based, solutions. Solutions recommended range from a re-write of the Indian Constitution in order to make it simpler and clearly focused on freedom, to the radical restructure of the Indian public services based on modern public sector reforms across the world. It advocates state funding of elections, raising the salaries of politicians significantly, freeing the labour market, imposing carbon taxes on pollution, seeking compensatory payments from developed countries for their prior carbon emissions, and complete privatisation of school and university education. It argues that India can, and should, aspire to be the world s best in everything it does. I believe that no Indian should settle for anything less than that.

Download or read book The Art of Mindfulness written by Seraphina Blake and published by RWG Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Art of Mindfulness: Cultivating Awareness and Presence," Seraphina Blake delves into the transformative power of mindfulness. Research reveals that consistent mindfulness practice can alter brain function, making it harder to be "lost in thought" and enhancing cognitive abilities. Unlike a typical self-improvement program, mindfulness invites you to fully embrace both the painful and pleasant moments of life. Imagine watching ocean waves ebb and flow-this is how mindfulness helps you observe your thoughts, gently bringing your attention back to the breath when the mind wanders. Blake explains how mindfulness enables us to pay attention to our immediate experiences, whether they are delightful, distressing, or neutral. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to operate on "automatic pilot," missing the present and the people around us. This book offers a path to break free from habitual distractions, allowing you to engage more deliberately and consciously with your life. "The Art of Mindfulness" is an essential guide for anyone seeking to live more fully and mindfully.
