Download or read book The Magnanimous Heart written by Narayan Helen Liebenson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her long-awaited debut, a beloved master teacher shows us how to move from the “constant squeeze” of suffering to a direct experience of enoughness. The magnanimous heart is a heart of balance and buoyancy, of generosity and inclusivity. It allows us to approach each moment exactly as it is, in a fresh and alive way free from agendas and “shoulds,” receiving all that arises. It has the capacity to hold anything and everything, transforming even vulnerability and grief into workable assets. In writing evocative of Pema Chödrön’s, Narayan Helen Liebenson teaches us exactly how it is possible to turn the sting and anguish of loss into a path of liberation—the deep joy, peace, and happiness within our own hearts that exists beyond mere circumstances. The Magnanimous Heart shows us how to skillfully respond to painful human emotions through the art of meditative inquiry, or questioning wisely. Readers will learn how to live from a compassionate love that guides our lives and warms whatever it shines upon. With metta and compassion as companions and allies, we discover how our own magnanimous hearts can gently allow the inner knots to untie themselves.
Download or read book The Measure of Greatness written by Sophia Vasalou and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnanimity is a virtue that has led many lives. Foregrounded early on by Plato as a philosophical virtue par excellence, it became one of the crown jewels in Aristotle's account of human excellence and was accorded equally salient place by other ancient thinkers. It is one of the most distinctive elements of the ancient tradition to filter into the medieval Islamic and Christian worlds. It sparked important intellectual engagements and went on to carve deep tracks through several of the later philosophies to inherit from this tradition. Under changing names and reworked forms, it would continue to breathe in the thought of Descartes and Hume, Kant, and Nietzsche. Its many lives have been joined by important continuities, yet they have also been fragmented by discontinuities — discontinuities reflecting larger shifts in ethical perspectives and competing answers to questions about the nature of the good life, the moral nature of human beings, and their relationship to the social and natural world they inhabit. They have also been punctuated by moments of intense controversy in which the vision of human greatness has itself been called into doubt. The aim of this volume is to provide an insight into the complex trajectory of a virtue whose glitter has at times been as dazzling as it has been divisive. By exploring the many lives it has lived, we will be in a better position to evaluate whether this is a virtue we still want to make central to our own ethical lives, and why.
Download or read book The Crown of Corporate Magnanimity written by Reuel-Azriel and published by The Lé Flore Group. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of the Crown of magnanimity as a steady rock at the centre of an increasingly turbulent corporate world. Magnanimity is a tremendously important part of corporate social identity for good and ill. A new era of corporate ethics needs to invade the board rooms and industries and usher in a new way of conducting oneself instead of the old corporate bully. I think The strength of the Crown of magnanimity is that the corporate monarchy is ultimately supposed to stand for the power of the people in that even the grandest of CEO’s, Chairmen, & Shareholders must answer to the people. The Crown’s great skill is to embody that well and The Crown in turn conveys that challenge really skilfully. The Crown of Magnanimity is a powerful symbol that represents a new era of corporate ethics, where corporations are held accountable to the needs and wants of the communities in which they operate. This book is a call to action for corporations to take a more magnanimous approach to doing business, and for individuals to hold corporations accountable for their actions. Together, we can create a future in which corporations act as responsible citizens and in turn, create a better world for all. Furthermore, we will delve into the ethical considerations surrounding corporate magnanimity and the role that corporations should play in society. Should corporations be solely focused on profit, or do they have a greater responsibility to society? How can corporations balance the needs of their shareholders with the needs of the communities in which they operate? These are just a few of the questions that we will explore in this book. The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive examination of corporate magnanimity and its potential to create a better world for all. Through a thorough examination of the history, current state, and future potential of corporate magnanimity, we hope to inspire and inform future generations of business leaders and policymakers.

Download or read book Virtuous Leadership written by Alexandre Havard and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the lives of some of the greatest political, intellectual and religious leaders of modern times, and the author’s personal experience, Virtuous Leadership demonstrates that leadership and virtue are not only compatible, they are actually synonymous. Virtuous Leadership defines each of the classical human virtues most essential to leadership – magnanimity, humility, prudence, courage, self-control and justice. It demonstrates how these virtues promote personal transformation and the attainment of self-fulfillment. It also considers the Christian supernatural virtues of faith, hope and charity without which no study of leadership can be complete. The book’s final section, Towards Victory, offers a methodology for the achievement of interior growth tailored to the needs of busy, professional people intent on imbuing their lives with a transcendent purpose. Thus, the aim of Virtuous Leadership is ultimately practical. It is meant to be your guidebook in the quest for excellence.
Download or read book Magnanimous Dukes and Rising States written by Robert Stein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries, the Dukes of Valois-Burgundy created a composite monarchy in the Netherlands, an area that had been dominated for centuries by several regional dynasties. In this way they laid the foundation for the modern states of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxemburg. The rise of the House of Burgundy can be read as the success story of a dynasty that in little over a century managed to assemble a great number of principalities, thus creating a new state. The Burgundian takeover, however, resulted in a modernization of administration, jurisdiction, and finances. The process of unification and the character of the union are the central topics of Magnanimous Dukes and Rising States. Robert Stein mirrors continuity and modernization in Burgundian times with the bankruptcy of the former dynasties and the decline of feudal government. The powerful towns played an important background role; it was only with their support that a unification of the Netherlands was possible, but this support was not unselfish. This study is about the development of power relations and institutions in the field of tension between ruler and subject, between centralization and particularism.
