Bright-Sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America
by Barbara EhrenreichA sharp-witted knockdown of America's love affair with positive thinking and an urgent call for a new commitment to realism. Americans are a positive people--cheerful, optimistic, and upbeat: this is our reputation as well as our self-image. But more than a temperament, being positive, we are told, is the key to success and prosperity. In this utterly original take on the American frame of mind, Barbara Ehrenreich traces the strange career of our sunny outlook from its origins as a marginal nineteenth-century healing technique to its enshrinement as a dominant, almost mandatory, cultural attitude. Evangelical mega-churches preach the good news that you only have to want something to get it, because God wants to prosper you. The medical profession prescribes positive thinking for its presumed health benefits. Academia has made room for new departments of positive psychology and the science of happiness. Nowhere, though, has bright-siding taken firmer root than within the business community, where, as Ehrenreich shows, the refusal even to consider negative outcomes like mortgage defaults contributed directly to the current economic crisis. With the mythbusting powers for which she is acclaimed, Ehrenreich exposes the downside of America's penchant for positive thinking: on a personal level, it leads to self-blame and a morbid preoccupation with stamping out negative thoughts. On a national level, it's brought us an era of irrational optimism resulting in disaster. This is Ehrenreich at her provocative best, poking holes in conventional wisdom and faux science, and ending with a call for existential clarity and courage.
Dancing in the Streets: A History of Collective Joy
by Barbara EhrenreichFrom the bestselling social commentator and cultural historian, a fascinating exploration of one of humanity's oldest traditions: the celebration of communal joy. In the acclaimed Blood Rites, Barbara Ehrenreich delved into the origins of our species' attraction to war. Here, she explores the opposite impulse, one that has been so effectively suppressed that we lack even a term for it: the desire for collective joy, historically expressed in ecstatic revels of feasting, costuming, and dancing. Ehrenreich uncovers the origins of communal celebration in human biology and culture. Although sixteenth-century Europeans viewed mass festivities as foreign and "savage," Ehrenreich shows that they were indigenous to the West, from the ancient Greeks' worship of Dionysus to the medieval practice of Christianity as a "danced religion." Ultimately, church officials drove the festivities into the streets, the prelude to widespread reformation: Protestants criminalized carnival, Wahhabist Muslims battled ecstatic Sufism, European colonizers wiped out native dance rites. The elites' fear that such gatherings would undermine social hierarchies was justified: the festive tradition inspired French revolutionary crowds and uprisings from the Caribbean to the American plains. Yet outbreaks of group revelry persist, as Ehrenreich shows, pointing to the 1960s rock-and-roll rebellion and the more recent "carnivalization" of sports. Original, exhilarating, and deeply optimistic,Dancing in the Streets concludes that we are innately social beings, impelled to share our joy and therefore able to envision, even create, a more peaceable future.
El arte tolteca de la vida y la muerte (The Toltec Art of Life and Death - Spanish Edition)
by Don Miguel Ruiz Barbara Emrys<P>Don Miguel Ruiz es el autor de Los cuatro acuerdos (The Four Agreements).<P>El maestro de sabiduría espiritual y autor del extraordinario best seller internacional del New York Times Los cuatro acuerdos lleva a los lectores en un místico viaje personal inspirado en los Toltecas, abordando un nivel más profundo de doctrina espiritual y conciencia.<P>En este libro, don Miguel Ruiz describe el viaje espiritual más profundo de su vida.<P> Ese viaje es en realidad un vistazo a la vida de don Miguel, un profundo encuentro místico con las personas, las circunstancias y las ideas que lo hicieron quien es, tal como él lo experimentó en un sueño durante las nueve semanas que duró el coma en el que estuvo tras un ataque al corazón que sufrió en febrero de 2002.<P>La narración a través de la cual imparte sabiduría sobre lo material y lo inmaterial está revestida de fantasía descriptiva.<P> Asimismo, el lenguaje es rico en alegorías y simbología de las cosas que se valoran y que nos aferran a la vida y a otros.<P>Esta obra es lo que él ha denominado su legado, el compendio de las experiencias de su vida y la sabiduría que ha adquirido, pues, como él dice, «un legado es todo lo que somos, la totalidad de nosotros mismos».<P> «A aquellos que deseen aprender de mis palabras, les ofrezco las experiencias de mi vida», dice don Miguel.<P>«Escuchen, vean, atrévanse a cambiar su propio mundo, un mundo hecho de pensamientos y de respuestas automáticas.<P> Permitan que los acontecimientos de mi vida les inspiren nuevas percepciones sobre su propio sueño y sus desafíos actuales», desafía a los lectores.
Las tres preguntas: Cómo descubrir y dominar el poder de tu interior
by Don Miguel Ruiz Barbara EmrysEn Los cuatro acuerdos, don Miguel Ruiz introduce a los buscadores en la senda a la iluminación a los principios de la cultura espiritual mesoamericana: los antiguos toltecas. En este libro nos adentra en las prácticas de los nativos americanos, y nos pide que consideremos algunas preguntas esenciales que rigen nuestras vidas y gobiernan nuestro poder espiritual. Tres preguntas eternas pueden guiarnos a descubrir nuestro poder y usarlo juiciosamente:•¿Quién soy?•¿Qué es lo real?•¿Cómo expreso amor?En cada etapa de nuestras vidas debemos hacernos estas preguntas sencillas pero muy profundas. El encontrar las respuestas nos abrirá las puertas a la siguiente etapa en nuestro crecimiento y finalmente nos conducirá a nuestro yo, completo y verdadero. Pero, como aclara don Miguel Ruiz, si no hacemos estas preguntas –o si no prestamos atención a las respuestas– seremos nosotros quienes sufriremos, porque nunca conseguiremos actuar según nuestro poder o lo usaremos para destrucción. Solo cuando el poder esté ligado a nuestra identidad, podrá estar alineado con el universo y ser de verdadero provecho para nosotros y para los demás. Las tres preguntas anteriores proveen un marco práctico que permite a los lectores involucrarse con el mensaje transformador de Ruiz y actuar como un medio para vencer el temor y la ansiedad, y hallar la paz interior. Como una guía fundamental para todos los buscadores que persiguen el autoconocimiento, el entendimiento y la aceptación, este libro es el próximo paso en nuestra metamorfosis espiritual singular.
The Three Questions: How to Discover and Master the Power Within You
by Don Miguel Ruiz Barbara EmrysThe beloved spiritual teacher builds on the message of his enduring New York Times and international bestseller The Four Agreements with this profound guide that takes us deeper into the tradition of Toltec wisdom, helping us find and use the hidden power within us to achieve our fullest lives.In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz introduced seekers on the path to enlightenment to the tenets of Mesoamerican spiritual culture—the ancient Toltec. Now, he takes us deeper into Native American practice, and asks us to consider essential questions that drive our lives and govern our spiritual power. Three eternal questions can help us into our power and use it judiciously:Who am I?What is real?How do I express love?At each stage in our lives, we must ask these simple yet deeply profound questions. Finding the answers will open the door to the next stage in our development, and eventually lead us to our complete, truest selves. But as Don Miguel Ruiz makes clear, we suffer if we do not ask these questions—or if we fail to pay attention to their answers—because we either never act on our power or use it destructively. Only when power is anchored in our identity and in reality will it be able to be in synch with the universe—and be of true benefit to ourselves and to others.The three questions provide a practical framework that allows readers to engage with Ruiz’s transformative message and act as a vehicle for overcoming fear and anxiety and discovering peace of mind. An essential guide for all travelers pursuing self-knowledge, understanding, and acceptance, The Three Questions is the next step in our unique spiritual metamorphosis.
