Ancient Wisdom for Modern Minds by James Carlopio Pdf

Thoughts, reflections and experiences voiced by ancient sages appear in this book as 'coaching conversations'. Their wisdom creates a vibrant landscape populated with insights which help us to reflect upon and discuss emotions encountered in personal transformation and constant workplace change. They allow us to process past experiences and emotions in order to move on. James Carlopio shows us that coaching for personal improvement has occurred since time-immemorial. These ancient quotes illuminate modern-day socio-cognitive constructs and techniques used in coaching psychology. The 'coaching conversation' itself is grounded in the constructivist-narrative approaches used within Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. These ancient quotes will assist readers to undergo personal transitions, Executive Coaches to facilitate workplace change and Life Coaches in personal development. Positive Psychology and important areas in coaching psychology are referenced in the Introduction and section openings. Supported by a subject index, this luminous work is grouped into sections addressing: awareness of self and others life, death, health and happiness wisdom, communication and learning achievement, goals and effort The text is designed to help people access emotion, express emotion, acknowledge emotion, release emotion and move on gracefully to happier, more successful and less stressed lives.

Ancient Wisdom. Modern Minds. Demystifying the Spiritual Process. by Clifford (Tripp) Maxwell Pdf

The author demystifies the spiritual path of Eastern Spiritual practices by removing dogma and culture and mystical stories by re-framing concepts to fit the modern, scientifically trained western mind. If you've ever had trouble understanding spirituality, seem stuck or just can't seem to "get" it or are just beginning your spiritual journey then this book was designed for you. While the demystification is simple and straight forward enough for just about anyone, the concepts are robust enough to challenge intellectuals. The author runs the Chop Wood. Carry Water. Practical Spirituality Facebook group and Youtube Channel and is involved in helping people end their suffering and move deeper into their experience in this life.

The Wayfinders by Wade Davis Pdf

Many of us are alarmed by the accelerating rates of extinction of plants and animals. But how many of us know that human cultures are going extinct at an even more shocking rate? While biologists estimate that 18 percent of mammals and 11 percent of birds are threatened, and botanists anticipate the loss of 8 percent of flora, anthropologists predict that fully 50 percent of the 7,000 languages spoken around the world today will disappear within our lifetimes. And languages are merely the canaries in the coal mine: what of the knowledge, stories, songs, and ways of seeing encoded in these voices? In The Wayfinders, Wade Davis offers a gripping and enlightening account of this urgent crisis. He leads us on a fascinating tour through a handful of indigenous cultures, describing the worldviews they represent and reminding us of the encroaching danger to humankind's survival should they vanish.
