Download or read book Discovering Our Six Simple Truths and Their Rich Promise of Happiness Peace and a Life of Consequence written by Ralph E. Karanian and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you’re a recently minted graduate seeking advantage in the long game of life or you’re further along in your journey and questioning whether you’re best applying yourself to desired outcomes, my book likely contains your answer. In it I detail a simple self-management discipline structured around six common truths. Adhere to a personalized adaptation of them, and you’ll ultimately enjoy their rich promise of happiness, peace, and a life of consequence far more easily and sooner than me! Indeed, mine is an uplifting story of personal triumph, about how, after a frustrating period of confidence-robbing self-doubt, I regained my footing with this simple self-management hack which—among other things—memorialized precisely what success looked like for me. And now, after benefiting for the better part of my adult life from the self-management process I cobbled together, I’m ready to share its recipe. I’ll open up in greater depth about what motivated my search for and eventual identification of our six simple truths, give my take on what I view as a more-complete form of success, and identify and define each of the truths. Each truth is presented along with a small collection of my formative defining (and reinforcing) experiences, recounted in forty-one short, historically accurate stories. It’s through these stories that I show how my six simple truths crystalized for me so that you might also be moved (and equipped) to mine the lessons of your own formative experiences. From those lessons, and with my coaching, you too will be able to easily craft and realign with your very own custom-tailored truths. I’ll show you how. Imagine! A fulfilling and (mostly) regret-free life in which you confidently pursue all that is unequivocally identified and reaffirmed daily as priority for you—those people, activities, and things you just can’t imagine being without. After all, if “we are,” as Buddha suggests, “what we think,” it’s critical that we be thoughtful and strategic about that with which we fill our minds. As an everyman with a simple secret to share, I wrote my book such that mapping one’s long game (and gaining reassuring clarity for one’s daily choices) would be within easy reach for all. Remaining true then to the resultant affirmations of one’s six simple truths—with intention and application—assures we can all enjoy their rich promise of happiness, peace, and a life of consequence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Download or read book The Sense of an Ending written by Julian Barnes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Download or read book Maps of Meaning written by Jordan B. Peterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have people from different cultures and eras formulated myths and stories with similar structures? What does this similarity tell us about the mind, morality, and structure of the world itself? From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps ofMeaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

Download or read book The Promise of Happiness written by Sara Ahmed and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Promise of Happiness is a provocative cultural critique of the imperative to be happy. It asks what follows when we make our desires and even our own happiness conditional on the happiness of others: “I just want you to be happy”; “I’m happy if you’re happy.” Combining philosophy and feminist cultural studies, Sara Ahmed reveals the affective and moral work performed by the “happiness duty,” the expectation that we will be made happy by taking part in that which is deemed good, and that by being happy ourselves, we will make others happy. Ahmed maintains that happiness is a promise that directs us toward certain life choices and away from others. Happiness is promised to those willing to live their lives in the right way. Ahmed draws on the intellectual history of happiness, from classical accounts of ethics as the good life, through seventeenth-century writings on affect and the passions, eighteenth-century debates on virtue and education, and nineteenth-century utilitarianism. She engages with feminist, antiracist, and queer critics who have shown how happiness is used to justify social oppression, and how challenging oppression causes unhappiness. Reading novels and films including Mrs. Dalloway, The Well of Loneliness, Bend It Like Beckham, and Children of Men, Ahmed considers the plight of the figures who challenge and are challenged by the attribution of happiness to particular objects or social ideals: the feminist killjoy, the unhappy queer, the angry black woman, and the melancholic migrant. Through her readings she raises critical questions about the moral order imposed by the injunction to be happy.
