Beyond the Ordinary Mind: Dzogchen, Rimé, and the Path of Perfect Wisdom
by Adam PearceyA unique collection of essays, instructions, letters, and personal advice on Dzogchen, Rimé, and other topics by famous Tibetan Buddhist masters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This selection features profound, provocative, and at times humorous texts from some of the leading figures associated with the Rimé tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Throughout the book the translator provides clear, succinct introductions to the individual translations, expertly setting the scene and guiding the reader through a world of intellectual renaissance, intersectarian debate, and the imparting of cherished insights.

Beyond the Sage on the Stage: Communicating Science and Contemporary Issues Effectively
by S. L. SeethalerCommunication failures are ubiquitous. Exacerbating the situation, much communication advice is superficial, and the vast research base that should inform best practices in communication is difficult to navigate.

This user-friendly guide provides a unique cross-disciplinary approach to developing the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to achieve evolving communication goals.

The book is constructed with a clear progression of logic based on a proven educational framework and provides guidance for communication about both uncontroversial and controversial topics. Demonstrating how commonly dispensed communication advice is often counterproductive, Beyond the Sage on the Stage is an innovative toolkit for being understood, fostering trust and genuine connection, and building a foundation for more effective, inclusive communication.
Beyond the Self: Conversations between Buddhism and Neuroscience (The\mit Press Ser.)
by Matthieu Ricard Wolf SingerConverging and diverging views on the mind, the self, consciousness, the unconscious, free will, perception, meditation, and other topics.Buddhism shares with science the task of examining the mind empirically; it has pursued, for two millennia, direct investigation of the mind through penetrating introspection. Neuroscience, on the other hand, relies on third-person knowledge in the form of scientific observation. In this book, Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk trained as a molecular biologist, and Wolf Singer, a distinguished neuroscientist—close friends, continuing an ongoing dialogue—offer their perspectives on the mind, the self, consciousness, the unconscious, free will, epistemology, meditation, and neuroplasticity. Ricard and Singer's wide-ranging conversation stages an enlightening and engaging encounter between Buddhism's wealth of experiential findings and neuroscience's abundance of experimental results. They discuss, among many other things, the difference between rumination and meditation (rumination is the scourge of meditation, but psychotherapy depends on it); the distinction between pure awareness and its contents; the Buddhist idea (or lack of one) of the unconscious and neuroscience's precise criteria for conscious and unconscious processes; and the commonalities between cognitive behavioral therapy and meditation. Their views diverge (Ricard asserts that the third-person approach will never encounter consciousness as a primary experience) and converge (Singer points out that the neuroscientific understanding of perception as reconstruction is very like the Buddhist all-discriminating wisdom) but both keep their vision trained on understanding fundamental aspects of human life.

by Sabrina Germain, Adrienne Yong and Patricia TuittAs the COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded, stark social inequalities have increasingly been revealed and, in many cases, exacerbated by the global health crisis.

By examining these three themes in relation to the effects of the pandemic, the book uncovers how unequal the pandemic truly is. It brings together invaluable insights from a range of international scholars across multiple disciplines to critically analyse how these inequalities have played out in the context of COVID-19 as a first step towards achieving social justice.
Beyond: A Living Person's Guide to the Dead
by Tiffany HopkinsA twist of fate changed the life of author Tiffany Hopkins forever: in the midst of her fast-paced career in the big city, she unexpectedly inherited a cottage in America's oldest intentional Spiritualist community. The little town of Lily Dale in upstate New York is wholly comprised of people who believe in talking to the dead, drawing an average of 20,000 tourists every year. These seekers come to experience the practice of spirit communication: booking séances, meeting one-on-one with mediums, and fully immersing themselves in the otherworldly atmosphere of this rare and wonderful town. After learning how to be a medium, Hopkins began focusing on normalizing talking to the dead, getting the word out about the practice of embodied mediumship, the art of connecting with the self to hear from the other side, which offers potent expansion to anyone willing to be curious about the world beyond the veil. Beyond encourages readers to increase their powers of empathy, intuition, and imagination to inspire creativity, heal body and mind, and even create community and find their way to like-minded souls. In addition to a step-by-step guide to the basics of mediumship, Hopkins includes prompts and exercises for developing skills like discernment and boundaries, assuming trance consciousness to create in a state of "flow," and working with others in collaborative circles to pool ideas and receive more nuanced feedback from the universe. Readers will come away with a fresh appreciation for this world--both physical and metaphysical--and an exciting new way to approach their life by strengthening all six of their senses.

Bicycling Maximum Overload for Cyclists: A Radical Strength-Based Program for Improved Speed and Endurance in Half the Ti me (Bicycling Magazine)
by Roy Wallack Jacques DevoreBicycling Maximum Overload for Cyclists is a radical strength-based training program aimed at increasing cycling speed, athletic longevity, and overall health in half the training time. Rather than improving endurance by riding longer distances, you’ll learn how to do it by reducing your riding time and adding heavy strength and power training. Traditionally cyclists and endurance athletes have avoided strength and power training, believing that the extra muscle weight will slow them down, but authors Jacques DeVore and Roy M. Wallack show that exactly the opposite is true.The Maximum Overload program uses weightlifting to create sustainable power and improved speed while drastically reducing training time and eliminating the dreaded deterioration that often occurs during the second half of a ride. A 40-minute Maximum Overload workout, done once or twice a week, can replace a long day in the saddle and lead to even better results.This comprehensive program includes unique takes on diet, interval training, hard and easy training, and sustainable power. Backed by the most trusted authority in the sport, Bicycling Maximum Overload for Cyclists is a book that no cyclist should be without.
