The title says it all.” ―Men’s Journal“I hope . . . that just having listened, I’ll be automatically living a less anxious life. . . .

Penguin Books Ltd The Light of Asia
Book SynopsisThis rich and enjoyable book by the acclaimed author of Japan Story explores the many ways in which Asia has influenced Europe and North America over centuries of tangled, dynamic encountersFrom the time of the ancient Greeks onwards the West''s relationship with Asia consisted for the most part of outrageous tales of strange beasts and monsters, of silk and spices shipped over vast distances and an uneasy sense of unknowable empires fantastically far away. By the twentieth century much of Asia might have come under Western rule after centuries of warfare, but its intellectual, artistic and spiritual influence was fighting back.The Light of Asia is a wonderfully varied and entertaining history of the many ways in which Asia has shaped European and North American culture over centuries of tangled, dynamic encounters, and the central importance of this vexed, often confused relationship. From Marco Polo onwards Asia has been both a source of genuine fascination and equally genuine failures of comprehension. China, India and Japan were all acknowledged to be both great civilizations and in crude ways seen as superseded by the West. From Chicago to Calcutta, and from antiquity to the new millennium, this is a rich, involving story of misunderstandings and sincere connection, of inspiration and falsehood, of geniuses, adventurers and con-men.Christopher Harding''s captivating gallery of people and places celebrates Asia''s impact on the West in all its variety.

MIT Press Ltd Who You Are The Science of Connectedness The MIT
Book SynopsisWhy you are more than just a brain, more than just a brain-and-body, and more than all your assumptions about who you are.Who are you? Are you just a brain? A brain and a body? All the things you have done and the friends you have made? Many of us assume that who we really are is something deep inside us, an inner sanctuary that contains our true selves. In Who You Are, Michael Spivey argues that the opposite is true: that you are more than a brain, more than a brain-and-body, and more than all your assumptions about who you are. Rather than peeling layers away to reveal the inner you, Spivey traces who you are outward. You may already feel in your heart that something outside your body is actually part of you—a child, a place, a favorite book. Spivey confirms this intuition with scientific findings.With each chapter, Spivey incrementally expands a common definition of the self. After (gently) helping you to discard your assumptions about who you ar

Hay House Inc Unseen Beings
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewUnseen Beings is a magnificent, passionate, brilliantly written manifesto for our urgent reimagining of our relationship with every aspect of the creation before we destroy it and ourselves. Drawing on the latest scientific discoveries about animal and plant consciousness and also on indigenous wisdom and the truths of Tibetan Buddhism, Unseen Beings is that rarest of books – indispensable reading for anyone who longs for a just and balanced human future. Buy it and give it to everyone you know.- Andrew Harvey, author of 'The Hope' and 'Radical Regeneration' with Carolyn Baker"Unseen Beings is a profound and much-needed book that takes us beyond the important but numbing statistics of what’s occurring on our planet. Erik Jampa Andersson points out the underlying causes – our anthropocentrism and lack of awareness of the vital roles that unseen, but very much present, beings play in our lives – and the peril of ignoring them. He guides us toward practical ways to shift from our dualistic, selfish, human-centered fixation to include the interconnected web of all beings, seen and unseen. There is no more essential shift than this, and Erik Jampa Andersson has written a brilliant book that gives us a road map to true wholeness and recovery."– Lama Tsultrim Allione, author of Wisdom Rising: Journey into the Mandala of the Empowered Feminine and founder of Tara Mandala
