According to Sara Kuburic, it doesn't have to be so difficult.The answer lies in taking responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality. It's about slowing down, cutting through demands and expectations, and taking ownership of this person we call our "Self." In It's On Me, Kuburic unpacks "self-loss," giving us new vocabulary and offering tools she's used for years to help her clients recover. Self-loss becomes apparent when we feel the pain and emptiness from performing or observing life, rather than living it. Guiding us through self-reflection, acceptance, and discovery, Kuburic proves that we can: · experience but not feel overpowered by our emotions· establish a healthy connection to our bodies· set loving boundaries to define ourselves and heal our relationships· declutter our physical and mental environments to create space for our true selves to thrive· find meaning and purpose in a seemingly meaningless worldEye-opening and inspiring, It's On Me will teach you how to stop sleepwalking our way through the life you don't want and step into your most vibrant, authentic, and meaningful Self.Trade ReviewA masterful guide to help all those who are building self-awareness, It's On Me eloquently and brilliantly reconnects us with a life of meaning and empowerment by helping us understand the concept of self-loss. . . . Relatable and necessary * Yung Pueblo, No.1 New York Times bestselling author *As the expectations of work, home, social media, parenthood, partnerships, etc., pile on, Sara Kuburic touches on something many people feel in their bones: lost.

Though we are all subject to the ups and downs of the world around us, we have more control over how we respond to that world than we realize, and Sara Kuburic shows us how * Simon Sinek, New York Times bestelling author *It's hard to know exactly how to return to yourself, especially if you didn't realize how far you had drifted. It's On Me invites you to do what is otherwise deeply challenging and often elusive work in a tangible, supported, and com- passionate way. It lights a path that will lead you back to you * Melissa Urban, New York Times bestselling author *Masterful and provoking . . . Kuburic has outdone herself with her brilliant guide, It's On Me, as she challenges the reader to step toward a path of self-inquiry and discovery.

In The Electric Vehicle Revolution, automotive journalist Kevin Wilson provides a thorough, engaging overview of where EV technology is today, how it got there, and where it’s going. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, EVs have gone from wonky who-cares vehicles like GM’s EV1 and early Teslas to every manufacturer's must-have future.Electric propulsion preceded fossil-fuel cars by decades and even vied for prominence in the early twentieth century auto industry against both steam power and internal combustion engines. From Electrobat (an early New York taxi fleet) through Columbia—which had built 1,000 electric cars before either Henry Ford or Ransom Olds had built a single gasoline car—viable business start-ups in the early auto age were as competitive and Trade Review“The book is a comprehensive survey of EVs…broadly illustrated with archival photos and period advertisements, and full of stories and evidence of obscure marques—from Detroit Electric and Baker to Tropicana and Enfield—whose bizarre histories will delight you.” * Car and Driver *Table of Contents1 First Sparks Electric propulsion vies with steam power and internal combustion for prominence in the early auto industry. 2 Gilded Age Status Automotive pioneers probe battery power, but electrics remain the province of wealthy, urban consumers—as Ford’s Model T begins to change the world. 3 Success into the Shadows Despite EV successes, the early auto industry evolves to favor gasoline cars and forges a partnership with the oil industry. 4 An Idea That Won’t Die As the internal combustion engine establishes dominance in the interwar years, a select few electric visionaries persist. 5 Fifty Years in the Shade Irrelevant in the marketplace, the idea of the electric car regularly resurfaces among hobbyists and those concerned about the oil industry’s viability. 6 Oil Shocks Space Age technological advances and the oil crises plant a seed that will take decades to germinate. 7 The Pivot Point How GM’s EV1 happened, why it faltered, and how it became the basis that culminated with the first Tesla Roadster. 8 Halfway There The proliferation of hybrids, especially the plug-ins, familiarizes the industry and public with electric propulsion. 9 Tesla Rising A clear-eyed view of Tesla Motors and the responses of the conventional auto industry, rival start-ups, and regulatory agencies. 10 The Dam Breaks The rush to electrify has nations and companies declaring the end of internal combustion, but this radical transition isn’t as easy as throwing a switch.

The Family Game is the solution; this is a game expressly designed to help family gatherings live up to our highest hopes.

Memories - What was your favourite time of day when you were little? Regrets - If you could be forgiven for something, what would it be?

Book SynopsisA classic guide to expanding perception and consciousness development. In this highly acclaimed classic, psychedelic elder Ralph Metzner presents a guide to six ancient systems, once known only to the initiated few, to expand awareness and free your consciousness from exterior limitations and cultural conditioning. Metzner begins with the I Ching, revered by the Chinese as the oldest and wisest book in the world. He explains how it reveals change as the evolutionary constant and offers a hands-on method of divination and guidance. He explores the Hindu and Buddhist Tantras of medieval India, ancient practices celebrating the union of male and female energies that transmute ordinary sense experience into ecstatic ritual worship. He examines the Tarot, revealing how the cards act as culture-transcending mirrors, bringing us through worlds of darkness and light in a complex journey. He looks at the practice of alchemy, explaining how it is a “psychic chemistry” of inner union through which we can transform planetary and cosmic energies. He explores the esoteric aspects of astrology, revealing the rhythmic cycles of the planets and how their phases may be experienced in terms of motion and emotion. He then examines in depth the yoga philosophy of Actualism, centered on the techniques of Agni Yoga, which allow you to use your living “inner fire” to illuminate the shadow parts of consciousness and burn out that which obstructs the free flow of energy. With a new foreword by UC Berkeley professor of neurobiology David E. Presti and featuring all of the original diagrams, this edition of Metzner’s classic text shows how each of these disciplines can help the modern individual become a fully aware and conscious participant in their own spiritual evolution.Trade Review“An unparalleled guidebook for readers interested in the mind and its workings. Ralph Metzner was a master cartographer who described each map in a fascinating reader-friendly narrative that may resonate with readers’ own experiences.” * Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., distinguished professor at California Institute of Integral Studies *“A testament to Metzner’s visionary legacy, this classic study of consciousness is finally back in print, providing both philosophical and practical guidelines for the journey of inner awakening. Rich in its cross-cultural exploration of the spiritual quest, this book is a treasure house, a resource guide you will want to return to over and over again.” * Rabbi Simcha Paull Raphael, Ph.D., author of Jewish Views of the Afterlife and founding director of *“Published more than 50 years ago, Maps of Consciousness is as relevant today as it was then. Metzner has shown us how the organizational structures found in astrology, tarot, I Ching, and other knowledge maps can be used to rise above the automatic responses that dominate the lives of most people. And his presentation is not just a tip of the hat to tradition; it is also explained and reinterpreted in the context of modern thought, particularly Jungian and Gestalt psychology. The holistic pathways described in this book offer guideposts for those on a spiritual quest, a journey that begins with self-knowledge. Importantly, these ancient methods are challenging and designed for total personal transformations, not just behavior changes.” * Bruce Scofield, author of The Nature of Astrology *“Metzner’s Maps of Consciousness is a foundational offering in his lifelong work to digest diverse esoteric texts from around the world and share them with a wider audience of fellow explorers. Each new reader will recognize how they, too, exist in the context of multiple millennia of fellow explorers from around the world, seeking understanding, meaning, and wisdom in a world that can be as dizzying as it is marvelous. Metzner was a brave soul, joining a long lineage of our intrepid ancestors who not only dedicated their lives to such explorations but also took the time to share their working hypothesis and evolving maps of psyche and cosmos with others.” * Kile Ortigo, Ph.D., author of Beyond the Narrow Life *“Far ahead of his time when this book was first published, Metzner was one of the first Western scholars and clinicians to recognize the psychological value of astrology, which illuminates cycles of change and the spiritual significance of each moment. This is a groundbreaking work that helped birth the field of spiritual psychology.” * Greg Bogart, Ph.D., MFT, lecturer at Sonoma State University and author of In the Company of Sages *“A rich account of alternative ways of knowing and being that splendidly rewards any serious student of consciousness who takes the time to dig out all the gems that lie within it!’’ * Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D., author of The Human Odyssey *“I was fortunate to take a course with Ralph Metzner using Maps of Consciousness as the textbook. All the disciplines covered in the book were explained in such a clear and concise manner that I left the class well-informed and inspired to continue the pursuit of a deeper understanding of other ways to expand and study consciousness.” * Antonio Nunez, Ph.D., professor, consultant, and coach *“This notable republishing of Ralph Metzner’s classic Maps of Consciousness is extremely timely. The potential for a true culture of kindness to emerge into the mainstream, ever present since that period, is furthered by Metzner’s cogent summaries of perennial wisdom. Astrology in particular is thankfully gaining ground as are the other models of spirit outlined here. Bravo!” * Henry Seltzer, author of The Tenth Planet *“We are in the midst of the need for a powerful spiritual renaissance. This welcome reissue of Maps of Consciousness leads us to revisit the exploration of the ancient and modern wisdom of the I Ching, Taoism, the tarot, astrology and Actualism. Read it; there is a lighted way on every page!” * Jais Booth, president of Star Mountain School of Liminal Art *“A collection of profound esoteric wisdom. It is on Ralph’s shoulders we stand as he remains an inspiration to all of us as we continue this pilgrim path of evolving consciousness.” * Justine Willis Toms, cofounder and host of New Dimensions Radio and author of Small Pleasures *“Ralph Metzner was a pioneer in exploring altered consciousness not only through psychedelics but also in utilizing different spiritual ways to work the mind.” * Michael Erlewine, renowned astrologer and director of the Heart Center Karma Thegsum Chöling *“This book was very important to me when it first came out and remains important to this day.” * Ralph Abraham, professor emeritus of mathematics at University of California, Santa Cruz *Table of ContentsFOREWORD: A Guide to Maps for Knowing Thyself by David E.

These are the questions that journalist Moya Sarner sets out to answer as she begins training as a psychotherapist.

So begins a journey of discovery into what growing up really involves, and how we do it again and again throughout our lives.Trade ReviewInteresting ... thoughtful and painfully open.’ -- James McConnachie * The Sunday Times *‘Moya Sarner has written a book about growing up which also happens to be a book about being alive: about managing pain and loss, about uncertainty and change, about humility and courage, about finding meaning and acceptance.
