Download or read book Conquest of Mind written by Eknath Easwaran and published by General Books. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for people who want to understand how the mind works, and how to change it. If we want to grow to our fullest human potential, Easwaran says, we have to train the mind. If we follow his eight-point program, we can begin to choose the way we think and become the kind of person we want to be. Drawing on the teachings of the Buddha, Easwaran's approach is universal and practical, putting our destiny in our own hands. And since it's hard to understand the hidden workings of the mind with the mind, Easwaran selects anecdotes to throw a spotlight on our thinking processes and to point the way to mastering them. For readers who have enjoyed Easwaran's Passage Meditation, Conquest of Mind gives another, intriguing perspective on his eight-point program.

This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'When you see a township resident driving past in their new car, and they wave, and you wave back, it is extremely gratifying to know that they built their chakalaka business based on the small contract you gave them ten years previously, and now they have expanded and provide other companies with products, because they were able to seize the opportunity you offered to them and developed it.' – MaZwane MaZwane has become a legend in South Africa as a pioneering entrepreneur – and an inspiration for those who ask questions about opportunities in the informal township economy. Her answer to those who doubt whether they can make it, is that you do it through perseverance, sacrifice, seizing opportunities, and offering superior products and service. In 1989 Phumlaphi ('Rita') Zwane left KwaZulu-Natal to find work in Johannesburg after becoming a teenage mother. She could count on the love of her family, a matric certificate and her faith, but had no job prospects, and no knowledge of the business world or life in the big cities. Her memoir takes the reader from the tough times of finding her feet in Johannesburg, through a variety of jobs and life experiences, to finally fighting her way to success as a respected member of the township economy and starting the successful Imbizo Shisanyama business. MaZwane tells how she progressed from having virtually no income or permanent home to becoming the first person to formalise and commercialise shisanyama in the townships – and provide a comfortable home and legacy for her children. Along the way, she befriended many people who contributed accommodation, job opportunities, advice, and companionship. With them cheering her on, she learned how to navigate the different and difficult aspects of the hospitality industry – and slowly reach her desired place of independent security. Conquering the Poverty of the Mind - From Shipping Container to BUSY CORNER shows the true grit of a Zulu girl who believed in herself – and did it against all odds.

"He who says he can, and he who says he can''t, are both usually right." If you can''t control your mind, you can''t win. What you might not realize is that you can make DRASTIC changes in your life and solve the problems you face, like: being too scared to talk to an attractive person, procrastinating on a goal, or being caught in endless cycles of worrying. You take a series of small changes (like phoning a friend or writing for 5 minutes in a journal) and build a ritual that you follow every time you come across a mental waste. All you need to know are the right tools to use for what''s bothering you, and how to apply them. N. Lightstone''s book Mastery Of The Mind teaches you: Mindfulness techniques to calm your mind so you can see and dismantle the thought patterns going on in your head, and learn how to let them go and change them.

In this book you will learn: The one method to get over ANY fear, and why "Just do it" is useless (you''d pay thousands just to learn this method alone). The one law that shows that what you think leads to how you feel, and how you can change your thoughts to improve your mood, self-esteem, and confidence. 2 essential tools to fast-track your self-improvement and supercharge your results. How to get out of those useless thought patterns or spirals - the reason you get into them, and the one simple method to step out of them.

Download or read book Train Your Mind Change Your Brain written by Sharon Begley and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2008-11-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cutting-edge science and the ancient wisdom of Buddhism have come together to reveal that, contrary to popular belief, we have the power to literally change our brains by changing our minds. Recent pioneering experiments in neuroplasticity—the ability of the brain to change in response to experience—reveal that the brain is capable of altering its structure and function, and even of generating new neurons, a power we retain well into old age. The brain can adapt, heal, renew itself after trauma, compensate for disabilities, rewire itself to overcome dyslexia, and break cycles of depression and OCD. And as scientists are learning from studies performed on Buddhist monks, it is not only the outside world that can change the brain, so can the mind and, in particular, focused attention through the classic Buddhist practice of mindfulness. With her gift for making science accessible, meaningful, and compelling, science writer Sharon Begley illuminates a profound shift in our understanding of how the brain and the mind interact and takes us to the leading edge of a revolution in what it means to be human. Praise for Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain “There are two great things about this book. One is that it shows us how nothing about our brains is set in stone. The other is that it is written by Sharon Begley, one of the best science writers around. Begley is superb at framing the latest facts within the larger context of the field. This is a terrific book.”—Robert M. Sapolsky, author of Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers “Excellent . . . elegant and lucid prose . . . an open mind here will be rewarded.”—Discover “A strong dose of hope along with a strong does of science and Buddhist thought.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune
