Practical Inspiration Publishing Ageing Upwards: A mindfulness-based framework for
Book SynopsisCongratulations! You have been given about 20 more years to live than your grandparents. But does that just mean a longer decline?Berit Lewis shows that the story we so often tell ourselves about ageing – that it’s all downhill from 50 – is simply wrong. In fact, research reveals we are at our happiest aged 80! Combining her extensive experience in teaching mindfulness with her knowledge of how to live and age well, she reveals a simple framework that can help you make the most out of those extra years of living. Rather than wait for society to solve the challenges of longevity, she invites us to explore what each of us can do to take responsibility for our own life and ageing process.Ageing Upwards will help you navigate life after 50 with acceptance, self-compassion and mental flexibility. It’s also invaluable to leaders who wants overcome unconscious beliefs, limitations and discriminations related to age to create more diverse organizations.Trade ReviewThis book re-frames ageing by applying Mindfulness techniques. It gave me an appreciation that ageing should be seen not as an issue, but as a different opportunity... Lewis provides a set of tools to re-train the mind to explore what each of us can do to take responsibility for our own life and ageing process. NetGalley * Netgalley *This book is all about dispelling the stereotypes that society has imposed on us regarding the notion of age and aging...Take some time to read this book...If you think that working long hours early in life so you can save sleeping and resting until retirement is what life is all about, take a look at what this book has to say to you. Perhaps a better balance in our lives now is what should be happening to avoid the burnout that eventually will come; sooner than you think if your mind-set is set in the past. NetGalley * Netgalley *Great insight and inspiration to help navigate life with acceptance, mental flexibility and self compassion. Highly recommended read. LinkedIn * LinkedIn *This mind-expanding shift may be exactly what we need to level up our lives after the age of 50. Instead of accepting the popular rhetoric that decline is all we have to look forward to, we can enrich our lives and ourselves by being intentional and practicing acceptance and self-compassion. A wonderfully eye-opening read. This book will appeal to lovers of self-help and psychology. GoodReads * GoodReads *I just turned 51 and I secretly harboured a helplessness - feeling out of control, that I had so much stuff to do and not enough time. Then I saw this book. The revelation that I’m likely to be happiest at 80 - together with tips on proper mindfulness, Berit’s own experiences...has given me a renewed zeal and zest for the remainder of my life. Brilliant. Amazon * Amazon *...possibly the only mindfulness book you need. I really liked the author's writing style, which is spare, professional, clearly laid out and well researched. There is a easy framework to follow (easy to understand, not so easy to practice!) and a very good website linked to the book which includes further information and some very good meditations. The book is aimed at older adults, but I think it would be very useful for anyone interested in mindfulness related to ageing.

BenBella Books The Golden Sequence: A Manual for Reclaiming Our
Book SynopsisIn a cynical age that constantly drowns us with information and conditions us to be mistrustful, the majority of us harbor a deep-seated yearning for more meaning and connection. Why is that? And how can we be truly fulfilled? If you feel dissatisfied with your life and helpless to make a change, you are not alone. Many people struggle to make sense of the world and find true purpose. Two decades ago, these same feelings drove Jonni Pollard to seek out a better way of being in the world. A master teacher in India introduced him to ancient Vedic practices that changed Jonni's life forever; the anxiety that had tormented him for so many years was finally replaced by a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment. Now an expert meditation teacher, Jonni's mission is to share the knowledge and techniques he has learned to help anyone reclaim their power to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. The most foundational of these lessons is what Jonni calls "the Golden Sequence." In The Golden Sequence, Jonni shares these eye-opening teachings with readers from all walks of life in the hopes that more people will be able to build happier, more authentic lives. A global leader in the field of meditation and mindfulness, Jonni's programs have already helped more than 250,000 people across the world. This book is a response to the greatest need of our time—reclaiming the power of our humanity. Through his genuine, essential lessons, Jonni presents a powerful case that the current global crisis we are experiencing is rooted in our disconnection from our true purpose and responsibility of belonging. Rediscover your authentic human nature, learn how to reclaim it as your greatest power, and find fulfillment through seeing the difference you can make in the world.Table of ContentsContents IntroductionChapter 1: The Heart of Our CrisisChapter 2: The Wisdom in Our BodiesChapter 3: The Four Golden InsightsChapter 4: Life Is Sacred: The First Golden InsightChapter 5: Love Is Our Nature: The Second Golden InsightChapter 6: Wisdom Is Our Power: The Third Golden InsightChapter 7: The Twelve Ways of WisdomChapter 8: Fulfillment Is Our Purpose: The Fourth Golden InsightChapter 9: The Greatest Threat to FulfillmentChapter 10: The Golden Sequence TechniqueChapter 11: How Can I Be of Service in This Moment?

The School of Life Press Know Yourself: cards for self-exploration
Book SynopsisIt’s hard to understand who we really are: what we want, how we feel and why we react as we do. This lack of self-knowledge can be trouble, for it makes us get into the wrong relationships, pick unsatisfactory jobs or spend money unwisely. No wonder Socrates summed up all the counsel of philosophy in just two words: ‘Know Yourself’. These cards are designed to assist us in a journey of self-knowledge; they present us with a range of ideas and questions that can help us to understand ourselves better. Each card carries an exercise on one side and a piece of analysis on the reverse to help you gain insight and clarity on that ever elusive subject: yourself. Example Questions: Who are you? What happened to you in childhood? What is the meaning of life?

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Joy on Demand
Book SynopsisA long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Search Inside Yourself shows us how to cultivate joy within the context of our fast-paced lives and explains why it is critical to creativity, innovation, confidence, and ultimately success in every arena.In Joy on Demand, Chade-Meng Tan shows that you don’t need to meditate for hours, days, months or years to achieve lasting joy—you can actually get consistent access to it in as little as fifteen seconds. Explaining joy and meditation as complementary things that naturally reinforce each other, Meng explains how these two skills form a virtuous cycle, and once put into motion, become a solid practice that can be sustained in daily life.For many years, meditation has been taught and practiced in cultures where almost all meditators practice full-time for years, resulting in training programs optimized for practitioners with lots of free time and not much else to do but develop profound mastery over the mind. Seeing a disconnect between the traditional practice and the modern world, the bestselling author and Google’s “Jolly Good Fellow” has developed a program, through “wise laziness,” to help readers meditate more efficiently and effectively. Meng shares the three pillars of joy (inner peace, insight, and happiness), why joy is the secret is to success, and demonstrates the practical tools anyone can use to cultivate it on demand.Trade Review"When a book offers practical, scientific insights on success and happiness, I'm intrigued. When that book also has cartoons, I'm in. Meng's book is a joyful look about where we can find more joy in our lives." -- Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals "With Joy on Demand, Meng continues to further his goal of promoting a better life grounded in happiness for his fellow human beings. I commend his efforts to build a better world with humor, persistence, and meditation." -- Jimmy Carter, Former President of the United States "Meng presents mind-training tools that are free of traditional religious trappings and made accessible for everyone. His contagious humor and his gentle guidance have the potential to deeply impact today's society." -- His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje "In this book, Meng helped me to see that joy isn't just an emotion, but it's also an action. By tapping into the joy that is deep inside all of us, we gain access to the foundational building blocks of creating a happy life." -- Chip Conley, bestselling author of Emotional Equations and Hospitality entrepreneur "With this book, Meng reminds us that this human joy is the most reliable, lasting, and truly joyful kind, and shows us how to use nothing more (or less) than our own human minds to get it." -- Ray Kurzweil, Inventor, Author and Futurist "A formidable articulation of what it means to cultivate mindfulness in all its dimensionalities, and why it is worth persevering with both effort and effortlessly. Meng's logic and clarity are inspiring, infectious, and transformative." -- Jon Kabat-Zinn, Founder of MBSR, Author of Full Catastrophe Living and Coming to Our Senses "With Meng's new book, joy is about to go viral. These simple, delightful instructions make it as easy to experience--and share--as it could possibly be." -- Steve Chen, Co-Founder of YouTube "This book DEMANDs your EnJOYment!" -- Tony Hsieh, New York Times Bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc. "Meng has captured the subject of our search for joy with his usual elegance and humility... All one must bring is the intention for a more joyful and resilient way to live, and these pages will do the rest!" -- Scott Kriens, Director of 1440 Foundation "Joy On Demand is a title that is half in humor, but only half. It is a serious introduction to meditation, the more profound for it being so simply explained. I am now on my next breath." -- George Yeo, Chancellor of Nalanda University "Tan has found a way to make meditation and joy the bedrock principles of one of the most successful companies in history by articulating their value through humor and wisdom, and this book will definitely help you find greater joy and success in your work as well." -- Shawn Achor, happiness researcher and bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage "In Joy On Demand Chade-Meng Tan proves to be a brilliantly convincing salesman for the power of joy. Yet, he does more than persuade: through step by step exercises he delivers the goods." -- Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB, co-founder of A Network for Grateful Living "I loved reading his book. It is full of smiles and questions, plus a lot of good science, and even cartoons and stories that make it a very rich read. Everyone will love this book. It is a treasure house of the heart and mind." -- Roshi Joan Halifax, PhD, Abbot Upaya Zen Center "Let Meng teach you the simple yet powerful skill of meditation - and happiness and success can be a mere breath away. Along with joy, you'll find calm, clarity, and creativity through discipline of the mind. What do you have to lose?" -- Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell is Human and Drive "As many who have long practiced meditation can attest, including Meng himself, the instructions given in Joy On Demand can transform your life. Enjoy the book and train your mind! You'll be happier for it." -- Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real happiness "Meng is a wise and entertaining guide, generously sharing his own incredible life story and outlining the practical steps we can all take to actually train ourselves to live life with less stress, more wisdom and more fulfillment." -- Arianna Huffington, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post, bestselling author of Thrive "Sometimes the most simple ideas are the hardest to grasp. Using his meditation training, Chade-Meng Tan shows how we can reliably access the vast and transcendent nature of joy and transform it into a sustainable resource that increases the happiness in our everyday lives." -- Sakyong Mipham, author of The Shambhala Principle "Joy on Demand reminds us that we all have a seed of joy inside of us. This book will tickle that special place in you that will ignite more happiness in your heart." -- Goldie Hawn, Academy award winning actress, producer, and bestselling author
