The Exciting History of Auto Racing by Ross R. Olney Pdf

Two teen-agers back in early day France probably started it all by "borrowing" their Dad's "horseless carriages" and seeing which could go fastest. That was when highly respected doctors were certain that you would die if you moved faster than sixty miles an hour. The human body simply couldn't survive at that speed. Now, racers routinely go two hundred miles an hour, and drag racers go more than three hundred miles an hour in only a thousand feet. Auto racing is one of the most popular sports in the world. It is daring, dangerous, and exciting, and the winners often become millionaires. This book aimed at young adults is full of stories about racing as it describes the progress from the two kids to modern racing. The author has participated as a driver, photographer and journalist for many years, and has written a number of books on the subject.

The Illusion of Will, Self, and Time by Jonathan Bricklin Pdf

Discusses how William James’s work suggests a world without will, self, or time and how research supports this perspective. A Seminary Co-op Notable Book of 2016 William James is often considered a scientist compromised by his advocacy of mysticism and parapsychology. Jonathan Bricklin argues James can also be viewed as a mystic compromised by his commitment to common sense. James wanted to believe in will, self, and time, but his deepest insights suggested otherwise. “Is consciousness already there waiting to be uncovered and is it a veridical revelation of reality?” James asked shortly before his death in 1910. A century after his death, research from neuroscience, physics, psychology, and parapsychology is making the case, both theoretically and experimentally, that answers James’s question in the affirmative. By separating what James passionately wanted to believe, based on common sense, from what his insights and researches led him to believe, Bricklin shows how James himself laid the groundwork for this more challenging view of existence. The non-reality of will, self, and time is consistent with James’s psychology of volition, his epistemology of self, and his belief that Newtonian, objective, even-flowing time does not exist. Jonathan Bricklin is a Program Director at the New York Open Center and the editor of Sciousness.

A Lean Mind by Ozan Kulcu Pdf

The concept of ‘lean’ is something Ozan Kulcu has used intensively in his work as an engineer and he believes that it has enormous power to increase the efficiency. In ‘A Lean Mind’, Kulcu gives an approach of how the concept of ‘lean’ can transform the mind. When the mind becomes lean, it runs free of each brick attached to it, bricks ranging from harmful core beliefs to useless thoughts. The mind becomes ordered and clean, it runs more efficiently, and it enables us to reach our true potential - one that we never recognized before. The lean mind is a mind that is free of distraction. It is a mind that filters out the background noise. It is a mind where everything that matters is ordered nicely for us to reach anytime. It is also the mind where we know exactly what emotions and belief patterns we have, and we know exactly how to shift our mental state to use more of its potential. ‘A Lean Mind’ is full of ideas that enable this lean approach to unleash the true potential of the mind. It is a deep dive into our own minds, the universe, and life in general. 'A Lean Mind' focuses on: Embracing our position in the universe Seperating what actually matters from noise Recognizing our perception of life Understanding the mind process Digging deep into the emotional zones and emotions and how to shift the mental state Understanding mind-body feedback system Understanding perception in interactions Understanding the lean approach to manage the mind process Becoming aware of the mind and the body Embracing the presence of our soul Understanding the importance of balance in the universe and in the mind From Back Cover What is the difference between the sunrise of today and the sunrise of tomorrow? Why does the same sunrise with same shape, size, and warmth give us different feelings sometimes? What makes the differences each day? What we feel everytime we see the sunrise depends on what emotions are in the mind at that moment, not at the sunrise. And these emotions make the differences of the day. The emotional state of mind, linked to certain core beliefs, are the main raw materials of this manufacturing plant called 'the mind'. They produce thoughts night and day, and eventually lead to actions. Everything we experience in life is a product of this mind process. The mind makes the difference between the sunrise of today and sunrise of tomorrow. We are stuck with our minds for the rest of our lives. Therefore, a mind is worth managing. A lean mind has the power to transform a sunrise into limitless amount of possibilities. We just need to know how it works and how to improve the processes. 'A Lean Mind' is a deep dive into how our minds work, how to understand it better, and how to improve the processes to reach a balanced state of mind. As everything we experience is a product of the mind, this balanced state of mind will unleash the potential of life for us.

Track Lessons by Charlie Seymour Pdf

George was a quiet, down to earth guy who loved motorcycle racing and later in life learned to love Jesus. The best of his eighty-three years on earth was 1989, when at fifty-four, he got married, adopted a son, and won the United States Motorcycle Association National Championship for the Harley Davidson 883 Sportster series. Motorcycle racing was the constant in his life. Much of what George learned and much of what he taught came from his experiences on the track. Near the end of his life, his two grandsons pick him up at the nursing home to share a weekend of motorcycle racing. During this weekend, George recounts stories of his 1989 championship season, and other highlights of his life. In Track Lessons, author Charlie Seymour creates a mosaic of events that reveal the character and life of George. Each tile of the mosaic is simple, but the collection of tiles shows how average events lead to a deep, meaningful life filled with family and love.
