Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tyler Cirella is having a bad day, a really bad day. This morning his wife, Karen, threatened to leave him for foolishly investing in, yet another, network-marketing business opportunity. His boss gave him notice that he has thirty days to turn his sales numbers around, or he's out of a job. The crippling migraine headaches that have plagued him for over two years are getting worse. And, on top of his crushing financial troubles, he's found himself on the hook for a Moroccan teapot that he accidently damaged at a local teashop. In a quiet moment of desperation Tyler reminisces about a happier time in his life, his high school days, when his after school pastime was hanging out with his friends. -I wish there was a way to make money by hanging out. I wish I could hang out for a living, - he says to himself--or so he thinks. In that moment Tyler encounters a most unlikely mentor, Oscar, a rotund, twenty-five-hundred-year-old Babylonian who resides in the teapot. Oscar offers to teach Tyler how to hang out for a living using a simple formula for building financially productive business relationships, provided he follows a key precept; that it's only possible to hang out for a living by doing so in service to others. So begins Hanging Out for a Living, an utterly unique and captivating business novel of spiritual adventure that has captured the imaginations of novice entrepreneurs and seasoned business professionals alike.
Download or read book Advice Not Given written by Mark Epstein, M.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Most people will never find a great psychiatrist or a great Buddhist teacher, but Mark Epstein is both, and the wisdom he imparts in Advice Not Given is an act of generosity and compassion. The book is a tonic for the ailments of our time.”—Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth Our ego, and its accompanying sense of nagging self-doubt as we work to be bigger, better, smarter, and more in control, is one affliction we all share. But while our ego is at once our biggest obstacle, it can also be our greatest hope. We can be at its mercy or we can learn to work with it. With great insight, and in a deeply personal style, renowned psychiatrist and author Dr. Mark Epstein offers a how-to guide that refuses a quick fix. In Advice Not Given, he reveals how Buddhism and Western psychotherapy, two traditions that developed in entirely different times and places, both identify the ego as the limiting factor in our well-being, and both come to the same conclusion: When we give the ego free rein, we suffer; but when it learns to let go, we are free.
Download or read book Hanging Out With the Dream King written by Joe McCabe and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2005-01-26 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most intimate look yet into the life and mind of the bestselling author and creator of The Sandman. Neil Gaiman is one of the most successful and versatile writers working today. He has become renowned not only for the consistently high quality of his writing but for his mastery of many media. He is an award-winning comic book writer (Sandman), novelist (American Gods), children's book author (The Wolves in the Walls), and television screenwriter (Neverwhere). Yet with all the fans hungry to know more about his work, there has not yet been a single major nonfiction book covering Gaiman's entire creative output. Until now. Hanging Out With the Dream King: Conversations With Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators presents a thorough look at Gaiman's work not only through his eyes, but through the eyes of his many collaborators. Artists, writers, editors, musicians—over two-dozen creators share their thoughts on working with Gaiman and present a unique mosaic portrait of the writer whose name has become synonymous with modern fantasy. Although the book's scope is not limited to Gaiman's best-selling comic book creationThe Sandman, Hanging Out With the Dream King features comprehensive interviews with all of the major Sandman artists, including Charles Vess, P. Craig Russell, Bryan Talbot, and Jill Thompson, as well as well as rare and exclusive interviews with Sandman co-creators Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg. And, much as Gaiman has done throughout his career, Hanging Out With the Dream King breaks down the walls of media and genre, presenting those who may have discovered the writer's work through one storytelling medium with doors through which they may find his other prodigious creations. Thus, admirers of Gaiman's children's books with Dave McKean will discover his adult work with Gene Wolfe and Terry Pratchett; fans of his novels will discover his comics; and everyone will have the chance to meet Gaiman's folk-rock bands—the Flash Girls and Folk Underground. Musicians Alice Cooper and Tori Amos are also interviewed.
