by Lewis RichmondThe bestselling author of Work as a Spiritual Practice presents a new vision of the aging process, awakening a spirit of fulfillment and transformation. Everything changes. For Buddhist priest and meditation teacher Lewis Richmond, this fundamental Buddhist tenet is the basis for a new inner road map that emerges in the later years, charting an understanding that can bring new possibilities, fresh beginnings, and a wealth of appreciation and gratitude for the life journey itself.

This wise, compassionate book guides readers through the four key stages of aging- such as "Lightning Strikes" (the moment we wake up to our aging)-as well as the processes of adapting to change, letting go of who we were, embracing who we are, and appreciating our unique life chapters. Unlike many philosophical works on aging, however, this one incorporates illuminating facts from scientific researchers, doctors, and psychologists, as well as contemplative practices and guided meditations on aging's various challenges and rewards. The tandem of maintaining a healthy body and healthy relationships, infused with an active spiritual life, is explored in rejuvenating detail. Breath by breath, moment by moment, Richmond's teachings inspire limitless opportunities for a joy that transcends age. .

Aging with Agency: Building Resilience, Confronting Challenges, and Navigating Eldercare
by Sandi PetersAn experiential guide to re-orienting our understanding of late adulthood as one of life's most meaningful and transformative stagesAging can bring new fears, challenges, and concerns. Loss of career, loved ones, or changing physical and cognitive abilities can leave us feeling isolated and scared. Sandi Peters shows us that growing older need not mean the end of personal growth. In fact, late adulthood can prove to be the most meaningful and transformative period of one's life. The key, says Peters, is the development of one's inner life, and with it a shift in one's relation to the aging process. The book draws on history, philosophy, psychology, gerontology, and spirituality to deepen and expand our understanding of what it means to grow old in the twenty-first century. Peters shares time-tested contemplative practices such as meditation, active imagination, dream work, and creative writing designed to enhance one's inner worlds and enable us to face life's inevitable changes with equanimity and insight. She offers practical advice on issues such as assisted living and home care, and a refreshingly new perspective on matters of memory and cognitive change.
Aging: The Fulfillment of Life
by Henri J. M. Nouwen Walter J. GaffneyThe authors share some moving and inspirational thoughts on what aging means (and can mean) to all of us, whether we're in our youth, middle age, or later years. Enhanced by some eighty-five photographs depicting various scenes from life and nature, this book shows how to make the later years a source of hope rather than a time of loneliness -- a way out of darkness into the light.

It is a warm, beautiful, and caring book: a simple reaffirmation of the promise of Him, who by His aging and death brought new life to this world.

Ahinsa: અહિંસા
by Dada Bhagwanપ્રાણીઓ, જીવજંતુ અને નાના જીવોને મારવા તે દ્રવ્ય હિંસા છે. અને બીજાને માનસિક સંતાપ આપવો, બીજા ઉપર ક્રોધ કરવો તે ભાવ હિંસા છે. માણસ ખૂબ જ પ્રયત્ન કરે છતાંપણ અહિંસક રહેવું અઘરું છે. હકીકત માં ક્રોધ, મિથ્યાભિમાન, આસક્તિ, લોભ એ ખરી હિંસા છે. દ્રવ્ય હિંસા કુદરતના કાયદા પ્રમાણે ચાલ્યા કરે છે અને તે કોઈના વશમાં નથી. કષાય ( ખરાબ ભાવ, વર્તન કે વાણી ) એ સૌથી મોટી હિંસા છે અને તેથી ભગવાને કહ્યું કે સૌથી વધારે મહત્વનું કષાય ન કરવા તે છે. આ પ્રકારની હિંસા એટલે સ્વ હિંસા અથવા ભાવ હિંસા. જો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા થાય, તો તેને થવા દો, પરંતુ કોઈપણ સંજોગો માં ભાવ હિંસા ના થવા દેવી જોઈએ. તેને બદલે લોકો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવાના પ્રયત્નો કરે છે અને ભાવ હિંસા કર્યે રાખે છે. જો કોઈ વ્યક્તિ પોતાના મનમાં નિશ્ચય કરે કે કોઈપણ સંજોગોમાં તે કોઈ જીવ ને નહિ મારે તો તે કોઈપણ જીવ હિંસામાં નિમિત્ત નહિ બને. એવા લોકો છે જેઓ દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવા મક્કમ છે. તેઓ દેખીતી જીવ હિંસા અટકાવી શકશે. છતાંપણ જો તેઓ વેપારમાં પોતાની બુદ્ધિથી બીજાનો ફાયદો ઉઠાવે છે તો અને પોતાના લોભથી તેઓ ભાવ હિંસા કરવાનું ચાલુ જ રાખે છે. આ બધી હિંસા જ છે. સ્થૂળ કે સૂક્ષ્મ, હિંસા અહિંસા વિષે જ્ઞાની પુરુષે જાતે ખુલ્લું કર્યું છે તે પ્રમાણે આગળ વધારો જાણો. જેઓ અહિંસા પાળી ને મુક્તિના માર્ગે આગળ વધવા માગે છે તેને આ વાંચન નિશંક રીતે મદદગાર સાબિત થશે.

Aikido: The Life and Teachings of Robert Nadeau
by Richard Moon Teja Bell Laurin Herr Bob Noha Susan Spence Elaine Yoder• Explores Nadeau&’s personal journey and pioneering role in the spread of Aikido, including firsthand accounts and historical photographs published for the first time• Explains Nadeau&’s unique teaching, his core concepts, and basic practices centered on energy refinement, direct experience and inner transformation• Presents inspiring personal stories about Nadeau contributed by students, including Dan Millman, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Peter Ralston, and Renée GregorioA widely influential figure in the development of Aikido in America, Robert Nadeau is known as one of the few American direct disciples of Aikido&’s founder Morihei Ueshiba Osensei. Now an 8th dan Aikido master teacher, Nadeau has taught generations of students, and several have become prominent teachers in their own right. However, he has never written about his life or philosophy, always reserving his most pointed lessons for those who practice with him in person.This book tells the story of Robert Nadeau&’s life journey and his distinctive approach to teaching Aikido as a way to access the inner energetic aspects of the art, a transformational approach with universal applications in daily life, even for non-Aikidoists. The authors explore Nadeau&’s early interest in martial arts and all things spiritual as a teenager in California in the 1950s, his seminal training under Morihei Ueshiba at Aikido Hombu Dojo in Tokyo in the 1960s, and the following six decades of training, experimenting, refining, and teaching as he worked to introduce Aikido to the wider world, even beyond the traditional dojo. They lay out Nadeau&’s core concepts, describe his simple-but-effective practices for personal development, and convey his time-tested approach to the inner training at the heart of Aikido in a very accessible way. They also include first-person accounts from Nadeau&’s students, including Dan Millman, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Peter Ralston, and Renée Gregorio, who recall their personal experiences of training with him, retell conversations with him, and describe insights and lessons learned, sharing how he affected their lives, sometimes quite profoundly.Bringing the story of Robert Nadeau&’s life into focus, this book presents, for the first time, the profound lessons and deep impact of a pioneering teacher who&’s been central to the spread of Aikido in the West.

Aim Low: Quit Often, Expect the Worst, and Other Good Advice
by Dave DunseathThis parody of motivational self-help books advises the reader to keep expectations low in order to find true satisfaction in life.Why should you strive to aim low? Because every time you aim low, you’ll feel like you’ve died and gone to Disneyland. You’ll be in a place where you’re never concerned about hard work, where you never feel guilty for goofing off all day, where nobody expects anything from you, where choosing to eat a third corn dog—or not—will be the hardest decision of your day.Aiming low is as easy as breathing. You can practically do it without thinking. And all the skills required to get there—like quitting or making excuses—take less time to learn than you might imagine. All you really need is this book and the stark realization that you don’t really want to “be all that you can be” (what—are you crazy?? that’s the Army, for crying out loud). In fact, your expectations can go so low that anything you do achieve is completely surprising.Anytime you hear someone say it’s a win-win situation, they either don’t know all the facts or they have a stuttering problem.Admit your mistakes and you will mature and grow. Don’t admit them and you might get away with it.Hope is like a crutch. Once you start relying on it, you’ll be too afraid to make a move without it. Crutches are only good for two things: getting awesome parking at the mall and sympathy dates with hot chicks. Otherwise, they’ll just slow you down.Whoever said nothing is easy has never tried quitting.
