North Atlantic Books,U.S. Radical Transformational Leadership: Strategic
Book SynopsisMonica Sharma describes how we can source our inner capacities and wisdom to manifest change that embodies universal values such as dignity, compassion, fairness, and courage. Drawing on more than twenty years of work for the United Nations and elsewhere, she presents a radical new approach to transformational leadership, one that creates systems of change where everyone can engage—not just analysts and policy-makers. Demonstrating that we all can be architects of a new humanity, Monica demystifies policy-making, planning, and implementation so that everyone can play an informed and strategic part in eradicating the world’s most intractable problems. Using real-life examples from around the world, she shows how our innate characteristics of universal compassion, equity impulse, and human capability can create new patterns that effectively address major challenges such as gross inequality, unbridled hate, conflicts based on social identity, and the never-enough mindset of greed. Written in a straightforward, accessible style, Radical Transformational Leadership outlines a path-breaking paradigm shift that is already generating equitable and sustainable results across the globe.Winner of the Nautilus Gold Award for Business and Leadership

Hampton Roads Publishing Co Meister Eckhart's Book of Secrets: Meditations on
Book SynopsisThis is a little book about soul freedom. It is a book about discovering the secret to all the things we most desire - contentment, meaning, peace of mind and true freedom. This skilfully edited translation of selections from the writings of Meister Eckhart provides a path into the spiritual life for contemporary seekers. Eckhart takes us on a journey of discovery; a journey in which we learn to let go, relinquish our need to know everything and lose those things that we think are important for a life of worth. And in the end he shows us that the true secret is this: to find yourself, you must lose yourself.Here is timeless wisdom from a mediaeval mystic who has influenced a wide range of spiritual teachers and mystics both inside and outside the Christian tradition. Erich Fromm, Arthur Schopenhauer, Dag Hammarskjöld, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, Rudolf Steiner and Matthew Fox have all credited Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought. In addition, his work has influenced the development of 20th-century American Buddhism and the Theosophical tradition.Divided into five sections - Seeking the Light, Facing Darkness, Risking Love, Knowing Nothing and Embracing Everything - the book leads readers on the path to an authentic spiritual life.

Book SynopsisNavigating the uncertainty of a divided China wracked by warfare and corruption, Tao Yuanming?s poetry?expertly translated by Red Pine?chooses the path walked by China?s ancient sages, finding joy in living a simple life. The latest work in Red Pine?s rich career of translation, Choosing to be Simple: Collected Poems of Tao Yuanming, is a definitive portrait of the early Chinese politician and poet. Thoroughly researched and beautifully translated, this bilingual collection of over 160 verses chronicles Tao Yuanming?s path from civil servant to reclusive poet during the formative Six Dynasties period (220?589). Familiar scenes like farming and contemplating the nature of work and writing are examined with intimate honesty. As Red Pine illuminates Tao Yuanming?s sensitive voice, we find the poet?s solace and sorrow in a China transformed by modernity. Tao Yuanming?s distinct verse shows a keen attention to rhythm as he explores the tension of scarcity and indulgence, duty and escape. Reverberating with clarity and sincerity and laced with humor, the poems of Choosing to Be Simple portray a man?s timeless desire to live by the principles enshrined by China?s sages. Guided by Tao Yuanming?s own wonderment, we, too, find ourselves asking: ?Why did I ever question my heart?? We are encouraged to find joy in simplicity?the tending of a garden, the sharing of wine with a stranger.

Orion Publishing Co Industry of Magic Light
Book SynopsisIndustry of Magic & Light is a love letter to the counterculture of the 1960s and a requiem for its passing. The much-anticipated prequel to Keenan''s cult classic debut, This is Memorial Device, Industry of Magic & Light is set in the same mythical Airdrie in the 1960s and early 70s and centres on a group of hippies running their own psychedelic light show. Told in two halves - the first in the form of an inventory of the contents of a caravan abandoned by one of the hippies, the second in the form of a tarot card reading - it is not so much a book about the 1960s as a direct channelling of the decade''s energies, bringing to life how even the smallest and dreariest of working class towns felt so full of possibility in the wake of the psychedelic moment. Via artefacts from the time - everything from poetry chapbooks, record reviews and musical instruments through bubblegum wrappers, bicycle repair kits and mysterious cassette recordings - the book openTrade ReviewKeenan makes serious magic with this kaleidoscopic crowd of shamen and showmen, this host of flawed, unexpected, brilliant characters. Industry of Magic & Light is a spell-binding inventory of 1960s culture and a glorious, thrilling, funny reading experience. It's Keenan in excelsis: transcendent, violent in intensity, full of joy and utter wonder. * Wendy Erskine *Brilliant - pure undiluted Keenan in crystalised form. Less a book and more of a passport, INDUSTRY OF MAGIC & LIGHT is nothing like you expected but everything you hoped for. * John Higgs *Keenan threads these votive objects into a tapestry as delirious and hallucinogenic as a John Cippolina guitar solo... This is Memorial Device was searing and brilliant and totally made up. Don't tell me Keenan has done it again... Keenan is showing us how even in Airdrie - perhaps especially in Airdrie - the possibilities were infinite. And maybe, just maybe, he's written another classic. * The Scotsman *There are some writers whose books disrupt you so profoundly that to encounter them is to survive a life event. David Keenan is one of these beasts. Read him. * Lara Pawson *The only thing I didn't love about INDUSTRY OF MAGIC & LIGHT was the nagging feeling you'd been born with an enfeebled imagination when putting it down. HAIL KEENAN. * Lias Saoudi, Fat White Family *I cracked open my copy of INDUSTRY OF MAGIC & LIGHT and within TWO pages had laughed out loud twice, nodded furiously once and was totally ensnared. Keenan captures the literal magic of your local scene's hidden reverse. * John Doran, editor of The Quietus *INDUSTRY OF MAGIC & LIGHT does something that is depressingly rare... it cracks open the majesty, the poetry and the strange high magic that is present in working class communities, if only we could be bothered to look. * Keiran Goddard *This is Memorial Device was my favourite book of the last decade, an imagined history of a local music scene that I found more genuinely evocative of growing up in and around bands than most reality-based histories. With INDUSTRY OF MAGIC & LIGHT David has spread this hallucinated universe out, and back in time, to create a prequel that fills out and colours in the edges of his characters in a way I found beautiful and life affirming. * Andy Bell, Ride *

PublicAffairs,U.S. Hurts So Good: The Science and Culture of Pain on
Book SynopsisAn exploration of why people all over the world love to engage in pain on purpose--from dominatrices, religious ascetics, and ultramarathoners to ballerinas, icy ocean bathers, and sideshow performersMasochism is sexy, human, reviled, worshipped, and can be delightfully bizarre. Deliberate and consensual pain has been with us for millennia, encompassing everyone from Black Plague flagellants to ballerinas dancing on broken bones to competitive eaters choking down hot peppers while they cry. Masochism is a part of us. It lives inside workaholics, tattoo enthusiasts, and all manner of garden variety pain-seekers.At its core, masochism is about feeling bad, then better-a phenomenon that is long overdue for a heartfelt and hilarious investigation. And Leigh Cowart would know: they are not just a researcher and science writer-they're an inveterate, high-sensation seeking masochist. And they have a few questions: Why do people engage in masochism? What are the benefits and the costs? And what does masochism have to say about the human experience?By participating in many of these activities themselves, and through conversations with psychologists, fellow scientists, and people who seek pain for pleasure, Cowart unveils how our minds and bodies find meaning and relief in pain-a quirk in our programming that drives discipline and innovation even as it threatens to swallow us whole.
