Download or read book From Behaviour To Wellbeing written by Vinesh Sukumaran and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It doesn’t matter what you’re trying to pursue in life; whether you’re trying to become a billionaire, keep your family happy, travel to 190 countries or win the Boston Marathon. What underlies any pursuit is wellbeing – the quest for happiness, better relationships, greater meaning and a life you love. From Behaviour to Wellbeing tells you exactly what behaviours and typical behaviour patterns will take you there. Learn what works really well for psychological wellbeing and the nuances of what it means to show up and be there for your body, mind and soul. There’s no way that you can wake up every single day at 5 in the morning, practice singing diligently for an hour and not get better at it after a year. It just doesn’t work that way. Also, understand some behaviour games that we play with others and particularly with ourselves, that take us away from exactly the things that we’re after in life. While well-being is what we might want for our parents, ourselves, our children and pretty much everyone else we care about, this book isn’t suggesting that life is only about wellbeing. So what’s beyond wellbeing? What might you trade your wellbeing for? What makes life worthwhile and why is it really worth living? And finally, what are a few things that you can start doing right away to achieve that state called “Bliss Without Baggage”.

Download or read book Indian Club Swinging and the Birth of Global Fitness written by Conor Heffernan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging in colonial India, the fitness fad that was Indian Club Swinging became a global exercise practice in the early 19th century. Used by physicians, soldiers, gymnasts, children and athletes alike, clubs were used to solve numerous social concerns and ills, and often prescribed to treat everything from depression to spinal abnormalities. This book provides a definitive account of the rise and spread of club swinging as it spread from India to Europe and America, asking why and how it became so popular. Discussing the global, commercial fitness culture of the 19th century, Indian Club Swinging and the Birth of Global Fitness explores how the popularity of this exercise reflected much deeper global and domestic concerns about body image, military preparation and education. Addressing broader questions about nationalism, gender, race and popular commerce across the British Empire, it highlights the origins of our modern transnational fitness culture and shows how it intersected with global and colonial understandings of health, medicine and education.

Download or read book The Vagabonds written by Jeff Guinn and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “fascinating slice of rarely considered American history” (Booklist)—the story of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison—whose annual summer sojourns introduced the road trip to our culture and made the automobile an essential part of modern life. In 1914 Henry Ford and naturalist John Burroughs visited Thomas Edison in Florida and toured the Everglades. The following year Ford, Edison, and tire maker Harvey Firestone joined together on a summer camping trip and decided to call themselves the Vagabonds. They would continue their summer road trips until 1925, when they announced that their fame made it too difficult for them to carry on. Although the Vagabonds traveled with an entourage of chefs, butlers, and others, this elite fraternity also had a serious purpose: to examine the conditions of America’s roadways and improve the practicality of automobile travel. Cars were unreliable and the roads were even worse. But newspaper coverage of these trips was extensive, and as cars and roads improved, the summer trip by automobile soon became a desired element of American life. The Vagabonds is “a portrait of America’s burgeoning love affair with the automobile” (NPR) but it also sheds light on the important relationship between the older Edison and the younger Ford, who once worked for the famous inventor. The road trips made the automobile ubiquitous and magnified Ford’s reputation, even as Edison’s diminished. The automobile would transform the American landscape, the American economy, and the American way of life and Guinn brings this seminal moment in history to vivid life.
