Download or read book Expand Your Bubble written by Amy Lane Carst and published by Evolution of Id. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge is formed within our social bubble. As we expand our bubble, we grow our knowledge and gain more tools to tackle life's problems and lead a happier life. Amy Carst shares her inspiring and acclaimed perspective by taking her audience on a journey, not only by relating her travel experiences but through finding new viewpoints and diverse connections. Expand Your Bubble is a collection of interviews with people from all walks of life: refugees, religious leaders, Atheists, squatters, the ultra wealthy, communists, trans women, addicts, parents of children with severe disabilities, Arabs, Africans, humanitarians, poets, mediums, and more. With contributions by Professor Noam Chomsky; Sapiens author Yuval Noah Harari; founder of Sirius XM and America's highest paid female CEO, Martine Rothblatt; and Arun Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's grandson. By connecting with people from different backgrounds, races, cultures, and lifestyles, we expand our bubble and the resources within it. Every problem has a million solutions, but when we only spend time with people who look and think like us, we only have access to a few of those solutions. The more solutions we have to problems, the less difficult life becomes. When life feels easier and less restrictive, we have the time and confidence to choose what we want. When we are the architects of our own lives, life is exciting. When life is exciting, we are happier.

Download or read book Purposehood written by Ammar Charani and published by PHD Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You were born a genius, but that seed was obstructed and malnourished while you struggled to grow in the jungle of life. Transcending these limitations to reclaim your destiny, happiness, success and fulfillment is what this groundbreaking book is all about. Everything in existence has a forward-pulling existential purpose that serves itself and indeed, the entire universe – a Purposehood. The Purposehood of everything is to evolve and expand exponentially in a powerful, symbiotic relationship. Moving against this force creates stress and tension; moving with it creates harmony and ease. Based on Ammar’s deep, personal exploration of science, philosophy, religion, mysticism and existence itself, Purposehood: Transform Your Life, Transform the World invites you to reflect on your own life’s purpose and how you can embrace it to create positive change and success. About the Author Ammar sought fulfillment at a young age through his devotion to exploring religions. He attended Christian schools in Syria and spent ten years with Sufi masters and religious scholars, studying, teaching, and subsequently serving as a cleric. Later in life his focus turned to entrepreneurship, where he pursued success by starting and seed-investing in over thirty businesses, four of which are led by members of YPO, a global leadership community of chief executives. Ammar’s startup spirit extended to volunteering in YPO, where he is a founding member of eleven chapters spanning four continents, positively impacting their communities. He also founded the YPO Change Makers Club where members and spouses share their expertise with the wider community. Ammar initially graduated with an engineering degree from the University of Central Florida, and later from Harvard Business School’s “The President's Program in Leadership.” After a near-death experience followed by an eleven-year deep dive into the meaning of life, today Ammar is focused exclusively on working with volunteers to spark a Purposehood movement dedicated to helping people transform their lives and the world by discovering and living their existential purpose.

Download or read book Cannabis for Couples written by John Selby and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A step-by-step guide for using cannabis to deepen relationships emotionally, sexually, and spiritually • Explains the difference between getting high alone and as a couple and explores what happens from a psychological and neurological perspective • Offers techniques to maximize the effects of being high, facilitate bonding, and resolve relationship issues, plus how to use cannabis as an aphrodisiac • Examines marijuana’s effects on the chakras, including its impact on the heart chakra, and how to harness these effects to expand consciousness When couples enjoy cannabis together in the proper set and setting, the experience can deepen relationships through honest sharing and compassionate bonding, as well as boosting sexual pleasure, emotional growth, and spiritual togetherness. In this step-by-step guide to harnessing the benefits of getting high together, psychologist John Selby explores how to use cannabis as a powerful and effective path to strengthen your relationship and nurture your intimate life. Drawing on his own NIH brain research on the emotional impact of psychoactive chemicals, he explains the difference between getting high alone and as a couple and examines from a psychological and neurological perspective what happens when you get high. Revealing the seven primary types of inner experience and outer behavior stimulated by THC, the author shares stories from his four decades of practice as a couple’s therapist, discussing the power of THC and other cannabinoids to help heal emotional wounds and boost intimacy--and how to determine if using cannabis together is right for you and your partner. The author explains how to properly prepare for a cannabis session and how to use breath, meditation, and other focusing techniques to deepen the effects of being high and facilitate bonding. He reveals how cannabis-assisted relating can not only deepen relationships but also help to heal anxiety, depression, and PTSD. This book also explores the use of cannabis for sexual pleasure and how the “muse of marijuana” can serve as an inner therapist to work out relationship issues. Shared laughter and emotional freedom are likewise encouraged. Selby also explores cannabis’s energetic influence on the chakras and how to balance and integrate the seven energy centers together with your partner during a cannabis session. Combining decades of counseling experience with scientific research, Selby encourages couples to enjoy recreational use and begin using cannabis as a unique tool for connecting as a couple and growing together emotionally, sexually, and spiritually.

Download or read book From Boom to Bubble written by Rachel Weber and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented historical, sociological, and geographic look at how property markets change and fail—and how that affects cities. In From Boom to Bubble, Rachel Weber debunks the idea that booms occur only when cities are growing and innovating. Instead, she argues, even in cities experiencing employment and population decline, developers rush to erect new office towers and apartment buildings when they have financial incentives to do so. Focusing on the main causes of overbuilding during the early 2000s, Weber documents the case of Chicago’s “Millennial Boom,” showing that the Loop’s expansion was a response to global and local pressures to produce new assets. An influx of cheap cash, made available through the use of complex financial instruments, helped transform what started as a boom grounded in modest occupant demand into a speculative bubble, where pricing and supply had only tenuous connections to the market. From Boom to Bubble is an innovative look at how property markets change and fail—and how that affects cities.

Download or read book Mindfulness in a Busy World written by Marie-Nathalie Beaudoin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we increase the likelihood that people will be able to control their wandering mind, let go of upsetting thoughts and feelings, and apply the wisdom of mindfulness training to their day-to-day lives? Mindfulness in a Busy World offers a bridge between the ancient wisdom of Eastern mindfulness teachings and the busy Western lifestyle of the tech era where an increasing number of people experience stress, anxiety, impatience, and an inability to be present in meaningful interactions. While traditional practices offer incredible possibilities of well-being and development, many people struggle to access these states of mind and ripen the skills to sustain them. This book offers insights into ways of mobilizing the brain’s attention systems so that distracted minds—often habituated to the constant overstimulation of screens and media—can more readily cultivate focus, calm, and kindness. Our society invests years in instructing people how to read, write, count, and think critically, but often forgets to support the crucial foundation of these abilities: focusing the mind. Learning to tame the mind allows people of all ages to live a more fulfilling life, balancing being and doing, thinking and feeling, listening and talking, compassion for self and others, and being an individual while belonging to a community. Distinctive features of this book: Brain-based strategies that render a focused mind within reach of everyday people Unique set of 18 breathing methods and over 27 other types of exercises which can quickly reset an agitated body or distracted mind Activities that make visible the remarkable powers of the mind to create and dissipate experiences of emotional or physical discomfort Specific strategies to facilitate inner peace and emotional regulation Simple but fascinating challenges—only achievable through mindfulness—that will leave people in awe of what their minds can do Intriguing collection of pain tolerance tests making it exciting to engage in the practices Mindfulness exercises that move beyond individual well-being and extend to a felt sense of belonging to a diverse community Inventive ways of bringing forth kindness, compassion, and gratitude Engaging metaphors and fascinating facts that ignite people’s curiosity about little known aspects of their physiology and help them connect to their bodies Words of wisdom, meaningful stories, inspiring quotes, and thought-provoking questions that help participants apply mindfulness practices to real life situations
