Book SynopsisWhen interacting with Gen-Zers, whether you be their parent, teacher, coach, relative, neighbor, or anything in between, the generational divide can seem larger than ever. Gen-Zers ignore you, they refuse to turn on their Zoom cameras, they procrastinate, they make strange jokes, they have short attention spans, and they take so many selfies. But that isn’t all there is to Generation Z. What Would Gen-Z Do? will help you reach across the generational divide and learn how to navigate your relationships with Gen-Zers. In this guide to everything Gen-Z, John Schlimm, Harvard-trained educator and Gen-Z advocate, uses his extensive experience in working with the younger generation to offer some insight for anyone who’s navigating the Gen-Z universe. In 51 chapters, you’ll find quick, relatable lessons and activity ideas that crush the stereotypes and stigmas of Generation Z and shed light on who your Gen-Zers really are—intelligent, compassionate, courageous, and honest future leaders. Love them, appreciate them, and encourage them to rock on!Trade Review“Being the first Gen-Zer to visit space, I realize that my generation will bring many new possibilities to the world. Much will change from technologies to how we look at each other. What Would Gen-Z Do? describes and predicts how this will affect everyone and everything around us. For older generations especially, this book will act as a guideline for how to communicate with me and all the other Gen-Zers.” - Oliver Daemen, First Gen-Zer in Space, Blue Origin NS-16 “John Schlimm is undoubtedly right that Gen-Z will prove to be the most influential and impactful generation in history. Coming from an earlier generation, I’m grateful for this holistic look at Gen-Z mindsets and belief systems. What Would Gen-Z Do? will be my guide!” - Patrick Moore, Director, The Andy Warhol Museum "Having my own Gen-Zer, I can attest that John Schlimm is spot on about this generation of young people: they are resilient, multi-layered, and often misunderstood. That’s why his new book, What Would Gen-Z Do?, is a must-have guidebook for anyone who parents, teaches, mentors, coaches, or loves a Gen-Zer and wants to understand them better. And in typical Schlimm style, it’s not only accessible and creative but also full of heart.” - Lory Hough, Editor, Harvard Ed. magazine "As a psychiatrist who regularly interacts with Gen-Zers, I can confidently state that John Schlimm hits the nail on the head in What Would Gen-Z Do? with his insight surrounding their ability to smash stereotypes. As a society, particularly in the mental health arena, we owe a lot to the Gen-Zers and their ability to acknowledge the existence of mental illness and promote treatment. Keep up the great work, Gen-Z and John!" - Micah T. Hoffman, MD, DABPN, FAPA, QME, CIME, Behavioral Health Medical Director, Allmed Healthcare Management

Book SynopsisIn this practical training guide, Don Webb lays out a detailed step-by-step program for building and sustaining a magical practice. Based not on Eliphas Levi’s correspondence system but on an older form of Egyptian magic, as well as drawing on Chaos Magick, shamanism, and the secret techniques of the Temple of Set, the program offers a full 12 months of activities, rituals, spells, and exercises to help you acquire magical skills and knowledge and maximize your strengths over the course of a year. Beginning with the hows and whys of magic, as well as the real dangers of the occult and how to avoid or cure them, the author shares experiences from his 45 years of personal work and 30 years of teaching the magical arts. He presents the Inshallo Rite for creating a magical helper as the first step on the road to becoming a magician. He explores the temporal aspect of magic--what works best at which times of year, month, or day--as well as the importance of keeping a magical diary, creating a warded work space, and properly preparing for magical work. Presenting a chapter-per-month curriculum, he explores the magical powers of elements, gods, and esoteric traditions, with weekly and daily exercises as well as emotional and mental training connected to each month’s topic. He examines the four elements in depth, sharing rites, invocations, spells, and activities for working magically with each element. Looking at Egyptian Soul Craft, he details how to work with the KA and the BA and how to perform magical workings with Egyptian deities. He explores sex magic, dream magic, group practice, and rites for the Nine Gates--events that can serve as pivotal moments for initiation. Based on more than three decades of magical teaching, Don Webb’s guide to becoming a modern magus will help beginners start their magical journey and support experienced magicians to revitalize and balance their existing practice.Trade Review“A no-nonsense, hands-on, pedal-to-the-metal primer in dealing with the magical universe--its blessings, pitfalls, dangers, trips, traps, and triumphs. A great and inspiring read for those who are about to embark on the greatest journey and adventure of all: that of truly getting to know yourself.” * Carl Abrahamsson, author of Source Magic and Occulture *“Many ‘instruction manuals’ for building a magical practice leave out a few inconvenient truths, like (a) becoming a better magician is hard work, (b) not everything will go your way regardless of how well you follow the instructions, and, most importantly, (c) unless you work first and foremost to transform yourself, your ability to cause change in the world will be limited. Don Webb thinks you are ready to handle these truths and has given you an honest road map. To point the way, he has created an innovative guidebook that stresses that magic must work with the whole self--all of your hopes, experiences, fears, desires--even when that work may be hard or uncomfortable. It is the rare book that is indispensable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, regardless of their school or style. Don Webb is one of the very few authors on practical magic who can truly pull off this difficult task; whatever your approach is, this book will help you make it better.” * Toby Chappell, author of Infernal Geometry and The Left-Hand Path *“How to Become a Modern Magus gives any dedicated individual the framework and instruction they need for a full year of living magically. More than just spells and rituals, Webb provides a series of inquiries throughout the chapters that will help the student check in and test their growth. If you pick up this book and work it, I am confident you will be amazed at the improvements in both self-possession and outer circumstance that serious magic can achieve in just a year.” * Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits *“Don Webb can easily be credited with ensuring a critical and well-researched approach supported with exquisite writing in any of his works. Yet in this dish of intellectual delights he wins us over even more deeply as he provides the sincere seeker with not only a practical system of modern magic but also a psychological and spiritual initiation through the very quintessence of the maturing stages of occultism. It is a work that is at once practical and psycho-biographical, an honest deep dive into several systems coherently woven into a single elegant tapestry without watering down the true cost of living deliciously.” * Adam Nox, host and creator of The Cult of You *“This is not a book; it is the cauldron of Magus Don Webb, into which he has poured a wealth of his experience, knowledge, and practice of the magical arts. Dipping into it will more than stir your imagination--it will slake your thirst to know more.” * Judith Page, Setian, artist, and author of My Inner Guide to Egypt *“How to Become a Modern Magus reveals the background of magic and shows not only the dangers but also the difference between magic and sorcery. A good book worth reading.” * Claude Lecouteux, author of Traditional Magic Spells for Protection and Healing *"How to Become a Modern Magus will for sure make you a more reflected person, more self-aware and more conscient. And in this it will also help you realise that your world or your universe depends on many elements working together in harmony for magic to become a reality – and that magic starts with the self-aware Magus. In this case, the Magus is someone who manages to keep his or her sanity and serenity in a world saturated by media and an excess of stimuli, someone who manages to move in worlds visible and invisible with agility, understanding and direction. A book that teaches all that deserves to be read, to be used and to be applauded!" * Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold, psychologist and anthropologist *Table of ContentsA Very Personal Preface An Introduction to Magic Dangers of Occultism A YEAR OF LIVING MAGICALLY Barriers, Crossroads, Secrets ONE JanusThe ElementsTWO Agni THREEFreya FOURPakaaFIVE Saraswati INTERIM IA Week to Reflect on Elemental MagicEgyptian Soulcraft SIX Horus SEVEN Isis EIGHT AnubisNINE SetINTERIM IIA Week to Consolidate The Three Lovely and Challenging Faces of Time TEN Verðandi ELEVEN Urðr TWELVE Skuld Additional Resources Book of Gates Sex Magic--Dreamwork--Group WorkClosing Sermon: The Monkey’s Paw Leave-Taking Works Cited Index

Book SynopsisWell-known spiritual teacher A. H. Almaas uses the metaphor of the mysterious philosopher''s stone to discuss a tremendous liberating power that leads to endless enlightenment For millennia alchemists sought the philosophers’ stone, the miracle substance believed to be the key to all the secrets of existence. The quest was fueled by some of the prime questions of human existence: What am I? Why am I here? How has this world come to be? A. H. Almaas shows that the tremendous liberating power of the mysterious philosophers’ stone is closer to us than we realize. In fact, it is the true nature of all reality—in all times and all places, without being limited to being anything in particular. Through the philosophers’ stone, real transformation can happen, our consciousness can become free, and we can open to all the possibilities of reality.  Almaas discusses the factors that are involved in igniting the catalytic property of the philosophers’ stone and then begins to unpack the properties of true nature when it is free of constraints. Finally, we are left with the revelation that true nature is endlessly knowable, and yet nothing we can know or say about it exhausts its mystery and power. The result is a new understanding of what liberation and practice are—and a view of what it’s like when seeking ceases and life becomes a process of continual discovery. We begin to appreciate that the freedom of reality expressed in the complete and fulfilled life all human beings seek—and few find—is actually the simplicity of the ordinary.

Book SynopsisWho do you trust? Everyone? No one? Some people? Sometimes?Indeed, 'learning to trust is one of life's most difficult lessons,' says #1 New York Times bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant. 'That's because trust is not a verb; it's a noun. Trust is a state of mind and being. If you are serious about learning to trust, you need TNT - Tenacity, Nerve and Time. But what if the real problem is not that we can't trust other people; it's that we can't trust ourselves?' In this compelling volume, filled with illuminating and heartrendingly powerful stories of broken trust, betrayal and triumph, Iyanla demonstrates why the four essential trusts - Trust in Self, Trust in God, Trust in Others and Trust in Life - are like oxygen: without them, none of us can survive. TRUST IN SELF worthy of your own time, energy, attention and love. Trust yourself because when all else fails, when everyone else has fallen by the wayside, you will know that you have always been and will always be there for you. TRUST IN GOD Trust in God because it is your sole purpose for being on the planet. Trust in God because when you cannot do it - whatever it is - for yourself, God can do it through you and for you. TRUST IN OTHERS Trust in others because it is the only way to fine-tune your instincts, deepen your ability to trust yourself and learn the depth of your capacity to love and forgive. TRUST IN LIFE Trust the process of life because it is an incredible journey of wonder, adventure and evolution that you can experience only in direct proportion to your willingness to trust it. This wise work will inspire you to 'take the leap of trust', because without trust there can be no peace of mind.Trade ReviewEye opening, touching and insightful...Iyanla's story is a must-read for anyone who truly seeks growth and healing.

Parkin brings the power of saying 'F**k It' to the subject of doing what we love. In this highly entertaining and motivational book, John sets out to prove that when we do what we love, we're actually more likely to be happier, healthier, wealthier and more successful. He addresses the significant blocks that people experience when they consider doing what they love, including: 'Doing what you love is for time-off, not work', 'Doing what I love would be selfish', 'I just don't know what I love' and 'I could never make a living from doing what I love'.

Book SynopsisIf life is about the journey and not the destination, could it be that this is heaven - this physical life we are living here on Earth? What we experience in our daily lives often feels like anything but heaven. But what if we understood how powerful we are - that we are powerful enough to mould both our internal and our external reality?Anita Moorjani is convinced we can do exactly that. The process, she explains, requires dismantling the many cultural myths mistaken for indisputable truths. Beliefs such as 'We get what we deserve', 'Loving ourselves is selfish' and 'Coincidences are just that - coincidences', are ingrained within us from birth, pervasive and influential, leading to generations of misguidance.Following her near-death experience, Moorjani began to embody truths she learned in the other realm, discovering that letting go of these outmoded myths allowed her to experience heaven not as a physical place but as a state of mind, right here and right now. In this examination of our common myths, she shares stories and examples from her own life, revealing the lies beneath the surface of what she was taught and absorbed. By freeing ourselves from these falsehoods, Moorjani asserts, we can leave fear, heartache and self-imposed boundaries behind and insteadlive lives full of purpose and joy.

Book SynopsisTrade Review“Life’s full catastrophe means stressors never stop. We can all use the advice offered in Deliberate Calm.” — Daniel Goleman, bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence “Leaders have an enormous influence on the lives of those they lead; when leaders get stuck, often their teams, organizations, and families also get stuck. With this book, you can tap into wisdom that will help you control your responses under pressure, enabling you to stay focused and present. A must-read for anyone looking to gain the confidence to face the challenges in life.” — Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global “This beautiful book could change your life. The authors offer profound insights gained from their combined decades of practice and research—brought to life through compelling stories—to present an actionable guide to leading in a world full of uncertainty and stress.” — Amy C. Edmondson, professor at Harvard Business School and author of The Fearless Organization< “The Deliberate Calm Promise helps you get unstuck in your old patterns of behavior that do not seem to work for you. With very helpful explanation and examples, the book will make you understand that you do not have control over the external environment, but the way you respond can be in your hands, and that will bring peace and calm in your life.” — Anu Aga, former chairperson of the Thermax Group and former nominated member of the Indian Parliament “When in the midst of a furious exchange or panic at seeing your demons let loose, it is not helpful when someone says, ‘Calm down.’ If you had read and followed the path in this marvelous book, Deliberate Calm, you would know how to do it. The stories and messages take self-control to a whole new level with overtones of Eastern philosophy. So instead of meditating for hours each week or practicing martial arts until your hands are callused, read and reread Deliberate Calm. It will help, and your family, friends, and coworkers will thank you!” — Richard Boyatzis, PhD, Distinguished University Professor, Case Western Reserve University, coauthor of the international bestsellers Primal Leadership and Helping People Change “CEOs and business leaders continue to face unprecedented and urgent challenges—not the least of which are the global problems of pandemics, runaway climate change, and increasing poverty—that require extreme adaptability. Deliberate Calm is a science-backed, field-tested must-read to help lead through these toughest of times and seize the multitudes of opportunities.” — Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever, 2009–2019 and author of Net Positive “When faced with a situation we have never encountered before, it is natural for most of us to panic. Seeing, instead, such a situation as a learning opportunity may sound unnatural if not incredulous. But deliberately facing this unknown with the use of specific behavioral steps will improve one’s adaptability, learning agility, and overall awareness. This is the authors’ promise. And the best part is that they provide considerable evidence to support their promise.” — W.

Book SynopsisWe're told that the key to success in life and business is confidence: believe in yourself, and the world is yours. But building confidence can be a challenging task. And, as leading psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic argues, confidence can actually get in the way of achievement; self-esteem is nothing without competence, the core skills, to back it up. Confidence is feeling capable. Competence is being capable. None of the figures whose success is put down to supreme self-belief, Barack Obama, Madonna, Muhammad Ali could have achieved their goals without the hard-won skills (and years of training) behind the confidence mask. Successful people are confident because of their success, and not the other way around. Whether you want to improve your social skills, get a promotion or that all-important first job, this game-changing exploration of how to build success, in the mould of Robert Cialdini's Influence, Susan Cain's Quiet and Steven Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, will change the way you think about achievement.Trade ReviewChamorro-Premuzic has rethought confidence - a fresh, more balanced, approach, presented in a well-researched, accessible, and, enjoyable format.

Book SynopsisRadical Regenerative Gardening and Farming informs and inspires gardeners, and farmers, who wish to bring quality and integrity into their work with the land. It is about developing close relationships with land that produces our food. This book combines over 40 years of Frank Holzman’s experience in farming, gardening, education, research, and development to provide techniques and concepts for sustainable land use. Radical Regenerative Gardening and Farming is a more spiritual and thoughtful approach to land stewardship, geared toward aspiring gardeners with a desire for a deeper connection with the earth. It is as much about why as it is about how to develop land. Rather than traditional tractor farming, this book provides a better understanding of horticulture, dealing with the biological interactions between soils and plants, and providing a good understanding of living systems. Holzman examines healthy perspectives of how to approach a piece of land as a living organism and transform it into a balanced ecosystem. Frank Holzman provides lots of information and insight for backyard gardeners and professional farmers, alike. Truly a great resource for transforming the garden, as well as the gardener.Trade ReviewWritten for serious food gardeners and small farmers, this text-heavy tome by organic horticulturist and sustainable farming consultant Holzman outlines the basics of biodynamic gardening. Though lacking extensive plant profiles detailing specific growing guidelines, each chapter comes complete with charts and tables that suffice as quick consults. Readers will find chapters devoted to agroecology, design, compost, soil, plant culture, pathology, and propagation, and discover how practical methods of biodynamic gardening regenerate even those areas previously damaged by conventional farming techniques. Holzman explains how edible landscaping and permaculture play a role in transforming desolate landscapes into food-producing powerhouses supporting biodiverse ecosystems. Intended for an audience already familiar with the basic principles of gardening, this book expands upon that general knowledge to introduce more in-depth concepts centered on sustainability. Verdict: A concise, practical handbook for gardeners interested in biodynamic gardening principles. * Library Journal *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Transitioning Ecology into Agroecology 2.
