FlipSide: Guida Turistica per Navigare nell’Aldilà
by Vincenzo Moggia Richard MartiniCosa succede dopo la morte? Lo scrittore e premiato regista Richard Martini esplora nuove sconvolgenti evidenze di una vita dopo la morte, passando per la ‘vita tra le vite’, alla quale torniamo, secondo quanto viene affermato, per ritrovare le persone amate, i compagni di viaggio e i nostri maestri spirituali. Basandosi sulla testimonianza di migliaia di soggetti che affermano, sotto ipnosi profonda, di aver visto e sperimentato tutti le stesse identiche cose nell’Aldilà, questo libro presenta interviste ad ipnoterapeuti di tutto il mondo formati al metodo messo a punto dal Dr. Michael Newton, e l’analisi di svariate sessioni di ipnosi nella vita tra le vite. L’autore ha intrapreso in prima persona questo viaggio, con risultati netti e sconcertanti, arrivando a comprendere che siamo pienamente coscienti tra un’incarnazione e l’altra, e rientriamo in contatto con le persone amate e i compagni animici, e tutti insieme decidiamo quando e dove e con chi ci reincarneremo. L’autore argomenta come la ‘legge del Karma’ sia sottomessa al ‘Libero Arbitrio’, attraverso l’esempio di anime che scelgono vite difficili per apprenderne lezioni spirituali: non importa quanto difficile, strana o complessa una scelta di vita possa apparire, essa è stata fatta in anticipo, consapevolmente, con l’aiuto delle persone amate, dei compagni della nostra anima e di saggi anziani. Profondamente ricercato, di vastissima portata, FlipSide porta il lettore in un nuovo mondo, collegando coraggiosamente come nessun altro prima diverse discipline legate alla regressione alle vite precedenti, esperienze di pre-morte e esplorazioni ‘tra le vite’. Nelle parole dello scrittore Gary Schwartz, PhD, dopo aver letto FlipSide ‘non vedrete più il mondo allo stesso modo di prima’. “Richard ha scritto un libro fantastico. Acuto, divertente, provocatorio e profondo: lo consiglio caldamente!” Robert Thurman ("Why the Dalai Lama Matters") “Stimolante, piacevole e ben s

Flirting with Disaster: True Travel Tales of Fear, Failure, and Faith
by Angie OrthJoin travel writer Angie Orth on a journey of self-discovery as she empowers readers to buck expectations, take leaps of faith, and trust that God&’s plan is better than anything we think we want for our lives. Angie Orth should have had at least 2.5 kids by now—everyone else back home did. Despite a successful PR career in New York, Angie was failing at the roles she was born to play—those of submissive wife and grandchild incubator. Without a potential husband in sight or the hope of a photogenic brood to show off, she was beginning to wonder if God forgot about her. With her thirtieth birthday looming, Angie was at a crossroads. Should she hightail it home to find a man like a &“good girl&” or continue running the rat race in New York City and hope for the best? Orth chose Plan C: Escape! She quit her job, launched a travel blog, and booked a one-way ticket to the South Pacific while her Southern family gnashed their teeth in protest. But the timing couldn&’t have been worse for a solo trip: she found herself dodging tsunamis, earthquakes, revolutions, grabby men, and incessant DMs from her worrywart relatives over a journey that spanned five continents. In the midst of her global misadventures, Orth&’s hilarious, vulnerable journey of faith and wanderlust demonstrates that God&’s plan is so much more creative than society&’s expectations. Fasten your seatbelt for this sassy, relatable memoir about living life unscripted yet still on mission. By the time readers turn the last page of Flirting with Disaster, they&’ll feel empowered, knowing God&’s vision is better than anything we think we want—or are supposed to want—for our lives. And they&’ll be ready to take on the world in their own way.
Flirting with Faith
by Joan BallAs a thirty-seven-year-old, highly skeptical, deeply rational woman, Joan had it all: loving family, extravagant home, a high-profile career, even personal contentment. So Joan was more surprised than anyone when she was relieved in an instant from the luxury of spiritual doubt and compelled to realign her life around practices of faith--about which she was a novice. With an unexplainable desire to pursue whatever God had for her at whatever cost was called for, Joan left her high-salary profession, sold her home and all her furniture (with her husband's support), and started life from a blank slate. Finally realizing that she had been flirting with faith since she was a young teen, Joan fell in love with the God who had been pursuing her.Joan candidly shares the story of her radical life change as she moved from atheist, to agnostic in addiction recovery, to the unexpected moment when she was "struck" Christian. As Joan lets go of control and convention, her skepticism is gradually replaced with a realization that embracing her new faith with radical abandon led to a far more mysterious and countercultural lifestyle than she'd ever imagined.

Flores en el barro
by Lorena PronskyFlores en el barro es un recordatorio de que la vida no siempre es perfecta y que a veces nos encontramos hundidos en el fango del dolor, la pérdida y las dificultades. Sin embargo, en ese barro se esconden semillas que florecen en medio de la adversidad, dándonos la fuerza para superar los obstáculos y brillar incluso en los momentos más oscuros. Flores en el barro sumerge al lector en mundos fascinantes a través de un conjunto de reflexiones, poemas y relatos unidos por un hilo invisible: la posibilidad de los protagonistas de cambiar el rumbo de sus vidas. La vida o la muerte. Seguir o frenarse. Romper o reparar. Repetir o cortar el patrón. El barro o la flor de loto. En sus páginas Lorena Pronsky nos invita a comprender que cada final es siempre un nuevo comienzo. Que darnos cuenta de que nuestros pies se hunden en el lodo es también la oportunidad de iniciar una nueva historia. A su vez reflexiona sobre la importancia de tomar decisiones meditadas y aprovechar las ocasiones de cambio que se nos presentan, a pesar del costo emocional que a veces puedan implicar para nosotros y nuestros seres queridos. La paciencia y la confianza son los dos elementos claves a lo largo de este proceso de transformación personal, aquello que nos permitirá cruzar al otro lado del dolor y presenciar el florecimiento de nuestros propios pétalos. Antes de extender los brazos para emprender el vuelo, debemos dejar atrás nuestro estado anterior; cortar el cordón que nos ata. Es un acto tan sencillo como doloroso que nos abrirá la puerta a una nueva forma de existencia, en la cual el pasado no se niega ni se elimina, sino que pasa a ser una parte vital de nuestro crecimiento. En Flores en el barro, la pregunta nunca es, entonces, si elegimos barro o elegimos loto. En uno anida el otro. Florecer está en nosotros.
Flourish: A New Understanding of Happiness and Wellbeing: The practical guide to using positive psychology to make you happier and healthier
by Martin Seligman'Admirable and exciting' -Sunday Times'His most personal and boldest book so far' -Nature'This book will help you flourish.' With this promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, the first book to present his dynamic new concept of what well-being really is. Traditionally, the goal of psychology has been to relieve human suffering, but the goal of the Positive Psychology movement, which Dr Seligman has led for 15 years, is different - it's about actually raising the bar for the human condition. Flourish builds on Dr Seligman's game-changing work on optimism, motivation and character to show how to get the most out of life.
Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-being
by Martin E. SeligmanFrom the bestselling author of Learned Optimism and Authentic Happiness comes “a relentlessly optimistic guidebook on finding and securing individual happiness” (Kirkus Reviews).With this unprecedented promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, his first book in ten years—and the first to present his dynamic new concept of what well-being really is. Traditionally, the goal of psychology has been to relieve human suffering, but the goal of the Positive Psychology movement, which Dr. Seligman has led for fifteen years, is different—it&’s about actually raising the bar for the human condition. Flourish builds on Dr. Seligman&’s game-changing work on optimism, motivation, and character to show how to get the most out of life, unveiling an electrifying new theory of what makes a good life—for individuals, for communities, and for nations. In a fascinating evolution of thought and practice, Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about. While certainly a part of well-being, happiness alone doesn&’t give life meaning. Seligman now asks, What is it that enables you to cultivate your talents, to build deep, lasting relationships with others, to feel pleasure, and to contribute meaningfully to the world? In a word, what is it that allows you to flourish? &“Well-being&” takes the stage front and center, and Happiness (or Positive Emotion) becomes one of the five pillars of Positive Psychology, along with Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment—or PERMA, the permanent building blocks for a life of profound fulfillment. Thought-provoking in its implications for education, economics, therapy, medicine, and public policy—the very fabric of society—Flourish tells inspiring stories of Positive Psychology in action, including how the entire U.S. Army is now trained in emotional resilience; how innovative schools can educate for fulfillment in life and not just for workplace success; and how corporations can improve performance at the same time as they raise employee well-being. With interactive exercises to help readers explore their own attitudes and aims, Flourish is a watershed in the understanding of happiness as well as a tool for getting the most out of life. On the cutting edge of a science that has changed millions of lives, Dr. Seligman now creates the ultimate extension and capstone of his bestselling classics, Authentic Happiness and Learned Optimism.
Flourish: Finding Purpose in the Unknown and Unexpected Seasons of Life
by Grace Wabuke KleinThis guide to living well through all the seasons of life encourages readers to trust God's timing and hold onto hope in the periods of waiting. The trials of life can wear us down. Unexpected events force us to face a new reality and unanswered prayers lead us to a growing frustration about why God doesn&’t intervene. We wonder if anything good can come out of this painful, dark, winter season. Grace Wabuke Klein knows that there is purpose in our darkest days and seasons of waiting. In Flourish, Grace meets the reader in their heartache, disappointment, and pain and gives encouragement and a fresh perspective on the winter seasons we all go through, as well as practical steps to not just survive but to find purpose in the unknown and unexpected. Drawing insight from her own winter seasons, Grace reveals the divine purpose in each season of our lives. She explains how: Fall is a time of release—a necessary season of letting go of offenses, unhealthy relationships, hurts, bad habits, toxic friendships, pride, unforgiveness and other heart issues before we can ever move on to the next season Winter is a time of unexpected challenges and unknown futures—yet lessons learned in life&’s storms are deep and full of growth to shape us and makes us stronger. Spring is a time of new things that require us to be open to new experiences, people, ideas, and perspective—stepping out into the unknown and uncomfortable. Summer is a time when everything is flourishing—we clearly see how each season cultivated a deeper level of faith and spiritual muscles, developing our character and perseverance. Grace discovered there is value and unseen gifts in each season, but only in the hard seasons and storms of life are vital spiritual disciplines developed. Flourish connects with the reader in the tension and storms of life to bring a word of hope.

Flowing with the Go
by Elena StowellWinner of three awards---a 2012 eLit Award, a 2013 Indie Next Generation Award, and a 2013 Living Now award---"Flowing with the Go-A Jiu-Jitsu Journey of the Soul" is the story of one woman's path through grief. For what seemed like a lifetime and probably was, Elena Stowell wandered aimlessly in a personal prison of self-doubt and lack of purpose after her fifteen-year-old daughter Carly died suddenly before her eyes. By some combination of miracle and necessity, she walked into a Seattle area Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym and rolled for the first time in her life. Through that experience and others that followed, Elena discovered the tenets of the martial art form and healing were the same. With a ripping raw honesty and refreshing balance of humor and introspection, Elena's story reminds us to never stop panning for the gold within ourselves.
