Summary of Rivvy Neshama's Recipes for a Sacred Life by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I began saying it myself in my morning salutations, after blessing the sun, the earth, and all around me. I would often feel it: It was a good day to die. Then, one morning, while my eighty-something mother was visiting from Philadelphia, she came out on the patio and sat down nearby, just as I was doing my morning hellos to the world. #2 The first law is The Law of Pure Potentiality. It states that to achieve success, you must create an openness that can lead to fulfillment. It’s a simple recipe: meditate, spend time in nature, and practice non-judgment throughout the day. #3 I began to have panic attacks, and while I was grateful for my job and my children, I was also deeply depressed. I began to write down two lists every night before I went to sleep: one titled I’m grateful for and the other titled I love in me. #4 I still write my gratefuls, even on bad days, to help me pull myself out of despair. They remind me that it could be worse, and help me understand that I’m still fortunate.

Recipes for a Sacred Life by Rivvy Neshama Pdf

Winner of 5 national awards, Recipes for a Sacred Life is now available in a new, expanded edition. "Recipes for a Sacred Life left us moved—and changed. Wise, poignant, funny, and inspiring."—Redbook ON A DARK WINTER NIGHT with little to do, Rivvy Neshama took a "Find Your Highest Purpose" quiz. And the funny thing was, she found it: to live a sacred life. Problem was, she didn't know how. But she set out to learn. And in the weeks and months that followed, she began to remember and encounter all the people and experiences featured in this book-from her father's jokes to her mother's prayers, from Billie in Harlem to a stranger in Salzburg, and from warm tortillas to the humble oatmeal. Each became a story, like a recipe passed down, beginning with her mother and her simple toast to life. NESHAMA'S TRUE TALES, a memoir of sorts, are filled with love, warmth, and timeless wisdom. They ground us, and they lift us up. They make us laugh, and they make us cry. And most of all, they connect us more deeply with the grace and meaning of our lives. "Exquisite storytelling. Written in the spirit of Elizabeth Gilbert or Anne Lamott, Neshama's stories (and a few miracles) are uplifting, witty, and wise." —Publishers Weekly "Rivvy's bite-sized stories will make you nod with deepest knowing. It's a magical companion."—HuffPost "Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a guide to happiness? Recipes for a Sacred Life is the closest thing I've found. Powerful. Inspiring.

God, Human, Animal, Machine by Meghan O'Gieblyn Pdf

A strikingly original exploration of what it might mean to be authentically human in the age of artificial intelligence, from the author of the critically-acclaimed Interior States. • "At times personal, at times philosophical, with a bracing mixture of openness and skepticism, it speaks thoughtfully and articulately to the most crucial issues awaiting our future." —Phillip Lopate “[A] truly fantastic book.”—Ezra Klein For most of human history the world was a magical and enchanted place ruled by forces beyond our understanding. The rise of science and Descartes's division of mind from world made materialism our ruling paradigm, in the process asking whether our own consciousness—i.e., souls—might be illusions. Now the inexorable rise of technology, with artificial intelligences that surpass our comprehension and control, and the spread of digital metaphors for self-understanding, the core questions of existence—identity, knowledge, the very nature and purpose of life itself—urgently require rethinking. Meghan O'Gieblyn tackles this challenge with philosophical rigor, intellectual reach, essayistic verve, refreshing originality, and an ironic sense of contradiction. She draws deeply and sometimes humorously from her own personal experience as a formerly religious believer still haunted by questions of faith, and she serves as the best possible guide to navigating the territory we are all entering.

Dear Dana by Amy Weinland Daughters Pdf

When Amy Daughters reconnected with her old pal Dana on Facebook, she had no idea how it would change her life. Though the two women hadn’t had any contact in thirty years, it didn’t take them long to catch up—and when Amy learned that Dana’s son Parker was doing a second stint at St. Jude battling cancer, she was suddenly inspired to begin writing the pair weekly letters. When Parker died, Amy—not knowing what else to do—continued to write Dana. Eventually, Dana wrote back, and the two became pen pals, sharing things through the mail that they had never shared before. The richness of the experience left Amy wondering something: If my life could be so changed by someone I considered “just a Facebook friend,” what would happen if I wrote all my Facebook friends a letter? A whopping 580 handwritten letters later Amy’s life, and most of all her heart, would never, ever, be the same again. As it turned out, there were actual individuals living very real lives behind each social media profile, and she was beautifully connected to each of those extraordinary, flawed people for a specific reason. They loved her, and she loved them. And nothing—not politics, beliefs, or lifestyle—could separate them.

And On That Bombshell by Richard Porter Pdf

I was Top Gear's script editor for 13 years and all 22 series. I basically used to check spelling and think of stupid gags about The Stig. I also got to hang around with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. It didn't feel like something you should get paid for. From the disastrous pilot show of 2002 to the sudden and unexpected ending in 2015, working on Top Gear was quite a rollercoaster ride. We crossed continents, we made space ships, we bobbed across the world's busiest shipping lane in a pick-up truck. We also got chased by an angry mob, repeatedly sparked fury in newspapers, and almost killed one of our presenters. I realised that I had quite a few stories to tell from behind the scenes on the show. I remembered whose daft idea it was to get a dog. I recalled the willfully stupid way in which we decorated our horrible office. I had a sudden flashback to the time a Bolivian drug lord threatened to kill us. I decided I should write down some of these stories. So I have. I hope you like them. And now, a quote from James May: 'Richard Porter has asked me to "write a quote" for his new book about the ancient history of Top Gear. But this is a ridiculous request. How can one "write a quote"? Surely, by definition, a quote must be extracted from a greater body of writing, for the purpose of illustrating or supporting a point in an unrelated work. I cannot "write a quote" any more than I could "film an out-take". 'Porter, like Athens, has lost his marbles.'

Tamed By a Bear by Priscilla Stuckey Pdf

"Priscilla Stuckey shines a brilliant light on the relationship we long to cultivate with the deepest wellsprings of our wisdom and love . . . This is a groundbreaking book, written with extraordinary clarity, beauty, and radical honesty." —Gail D. Storey, author of I Promise Not to Suffer: A Fool for Love Hikes the Pacific Crest Trail, winner of the National Outdoor Book Award In an age of materialism, language of spirit or spirits seems at best suspect and at worst alien or naïve. When Priscilla Stuckey begins hearing Bear’s voice, she is a writer and religious studies professor in her fifties. Though she enjoys communing with trees and birds and the land, she intellectually knows better than to try talking directly with spirit. Yet searching for the truth of her own identity leads her directly toward what she is most skeptical of. As Stuckey opens to her spirit animal helper and his affectionate, jovial wisdom, she begins to realize the slow dawning of faith. Tamed by a Bear shows one person responding to the call of her heart, which is also the call of Earth to all human beings today: to listen to a more–than–human wisdom so people can address the social and environmental crises facing the world. At this moment, when the future of life on Earth as we know it hangs in the balance—threatened by climate change, species extinctions, and extreme economic inequality—the key to survival is found in answering one question: How can humans live more peaceably and sustainably with the rest of nature? The heart–opening conversations between Bear and Stuckey suggest a reinvigorating of nature–spirituality in everyday life. Their dialogues show an educated, thoughtful person grappling with her skepticism about Earth spirits and gradually saying yes to a call from beyond her intellectual understanding.

Girls Don't Ride Motorbikes by Dorit Brauer Pdf

'Girls Don't Ride Motorbikes – A Spiritual Adventure Into Life's Labyrinth' chronicles a modern day pilgrimage in which Dorit Brauer embarks onto a 7,430 mile solo motorcycle adventure across the US to walk labyrinths. On her journey, Dorit recounts poetic life stories spanning her youth on a dairy farm in Germany, a 10-week solo backpacking trip in Brazil, the turmoil of living in Tel Aviv, to her most recent chronicles in the United States. As Dorit travels cross-country from labyrinth to labyrinth, these stories are woven together intricately to provide insights allowing the reader to reflect on their own spiritual journey.The title of the book, 'Girls Don't Ride Motorbikes,' comes from a mantra of Dorit's youth, embedded into her mind by her father. Born from very traditional parents with their own expectations, Dorit had the courage to make her own path. She pursued everything she wasn't supposed to do and found adventure and true fulfillment in life. She is living her best life and through her example inspires everyone else to listen to their inner yearnings and follow the voice of their hearts. British labyrinth expert and author Sig Lonegren, says 'Girls Don't Ride Motorbikes – A Spiritual Adventure Into Life's Labyrinth' feels like a gentle overview of alternative thinking wrapped in a 'Travels with Charley' (Steinbeck) package.“Dorit Brauer has written a very readable and informative narrative of her experiences while walking a number of different labyrinths. Unlike most of us who walk blindly through most of our lives, these are paths where life is present. She also exposes the reader to a number of other techniques that can be used to enhance the possibility of spiritual connection. If you don't know much about these magical single-path tools, this is a great place to start - and it's a good refresher for those who have already been walking them for a while.”- Sig Lonegren, Author of 'Labyrinths: Ancient Myths & Modern Uses'

The Beauty of Aging by Angela Paul Pdf

Aging is a natural part of life, and it can be a positive and pleasurable experience. In The Beauty of Aging, author Angela Paul presents a candid and insightful guide for women over forty on how to live a youthful and joyful life at any age. Calling upon her own life experiences as a model, a marriage partner for more than twenty-seven years, and a long-time meditation practitioner, Paul provides a provocative, yet fun-filled roadmap to aging well. Divided into three sections, The Beauty of Aging addresses: ● The mind and the need to change outdated perceptions about aging. It explores how the sensual delights of pleasure and great sex start in the mind. ● The body and the issues of body image, self-care, healthy eating, exercise, and sleep. ● The spirit and the healing benefits of meditation, faith, service, and gratitude, and the transformative power of silence, solitude, and love. Confronting issues that come with growing older, The Beauty of Aging exhorts women to free their minds, love their bodies, and nourish their spirits to live joyfully and discover the beauty of aging.
