You are already a success, the only thing standing in your way of being who you really are, is you; your mind, your thoughts, your fears. Fear of not being good enough, fear of being too young, too old, too thin, too heavy; fear of not being smart enough, coming from a different country and not fitting in, being rejected, not having enough money, and the list goes on. Whats Your Monsters Name? tackles all areas of your life, not just one. As we are multi-faceted, so is the content of the book. The concept of the book is to shine light on areas in someones life that are creating the Monster and that we can turn it into a teacher. Interviews with people telling me their way of handling challenges and how they are dealing with situations by applying a certain life skill; my own experiences and thoughts on some of the challenges and how they affected my entire life until now. All the people I interviewed for this book have their unique way of handling challenges or not so challenging situations from which everyone can learn.

Download or read book Naming Infinity written by Loren Graham and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1913, Russian imperial marines stormed an Orthodox monastery at Mt. Athos, Greece, to haul off monks engaged in a dangerously heretical practice known as Name Worshipping. Exiled to remote Russian outposts, the monks and their mystical movement went underground. Ultimately, they came across Russian intellectuals who embraced Name Worshipping—and who would achieve one of the biggest mathematical breakthroughs of the twentieth century, going beyond recent French achievements. Loren Graham and Jean-Michel Kantor take us on an exciting mathematical mystery tour as they unravel a bizarre tale of political struggles, psychological crises, sexual complexities, and ethical dilemmas. At the core of this book is the contest between French and Russian mathematicians who sought new answers to one of the oldest puzzles in math: the nature of infinity. The French school chased rationalist solutions. The Russian mathematicians, notably Dmitri Egorov and Nikolai Luzin—who founded the famous Moscow School of Mathematics—were inspired by mystical insights attained during Name Worshipping. Their religious practice appears to have opened to them visions into the infinite—and led to the founding of descriptive set theory. The men and women of the leading French and Russian mathematical schools are central characters in this absorbing tale that could not be told until now. Naming Infinity is a poignant human interest story that raises provocative questions about science and religion, intuition and creativity.
