Maa-Baap Chhokra No Vyavahar (Granth): મા-બાપ છોકરાનો વ્યવહાર (ગ્રંથ)
by Dada Bhagwanમા – બાપ અને છોકરા વચ્ચેનો સંબંધ એ પોતાના અસ્તિત્વની મૂળભૂત કડી છે. આપણા મહાન ભગવાનોને પણ મા – બાપ હતા જેમનો તેઓ આદર કરતા અને તેમને પૂજ્ય ગણતા. આજના જમાનામાં આ સંબંધ જટિલ થઇ રહ્યા છે. મા – બાપોને તેમના છોકરાઓ સામે ફરીયાદોની લાંબી યાદી છે, જેવી કે છોકરાઓ તેમની આજ્ઞા પાળતા નથી, મોડા ઉઠે છે, ભણતા નથી, તેમને ખોટી આદતો પડી છે, એકબીજા સાથે ઝગડે છે, વગેરે. છોકરાઓ મા – બાપની અપેક્ષાઓ પૂરી કરી શકતા નથી. તેવી જ રીતે છોકરાઓને લાગે છે કે મા – બાપ તેમને સમજવા માગતા નથી, વધારે પડતા કડક છે, વગેરે વગેરે. આ પુસ્તકમાં, જ્ઞાની પુરુષ પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીના, કુટુંબની અંદરના આ ઘનિષ્ટ સંબંધો વિષેના સત્સંગો આપવામાં આવ્યા છે. હાલની સમસ્યાઓને સંસારિક અને આધ્યાત્મિક દ્રષ્ટિકોણથી ચર્ચવામાં આવી છે. જૂની અને નવી પેઢી વચ્ચે વધતી તિરાડો ઉપર ખાસ ધ્યાન આપવામાં આવ્યું છે. મા – બાપની ફરજો અને બાળકો, તરુણો, કિશોરો, અને યુવાન વયસ્કોની તેમના મા – બાપ પ્રત્યેની ફરજો, સ્પષ્ટતા અને કરુણાથી સમજાવવામાં આવી છે. પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીએ પ્રેમ અને સ્નેહથી કેવી રીતે મા – બાપ છોકરાના આ સુંદર સંબંધમાં સુમેળ સાધી શકાય તે હેતુથી ‘હકારાત્મક બાલઉછેરનો પાયો નાખવામાં પહેલ કરી છે? આ પુસ્તકના બે વિભાગ પાડવામાં આવ્યા છે, પહેલાં વિભાગમાં પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીએ મા – બાપની છોકરાં સાથેની સમસ્યા અને તેના ઉકેલની ચર્ચા કરી છે. બીજા ભાગમાં છોકરાંને મા – બાપ સાથેના વ્યવહાર માં આવતી મુશ્કેલીઓની ચર્ચા કરી છે. આ પુસ્તક મા – બાપ અને છોકરાં વચ્ચે સુમેળ સાધી, સંબંધો ઉષ્માભર્યા બનાવવામાં ખુબ જ મદદરૂપ થશે.
Maa Baap Chokarano Vyavahar (Sanxipt): મા બાપ છોકરાનો વ્યવહાર (સંક્ષિપ્ત)
by Dada Bhagwanજો તમે તમારા સંતાનોના મિત્ર થશો તો, માબાપ – સંતાનોના સંબંધો સુધરશે. પરંતુ જો તમે તમારો માબાપ તરીકેનો અધિકાર વાપરશો તો, તમારે સંતાન ગુમાવવાનો વખત આવશે. તમારી મિત્રતા એવી હોવી જોઈએ કે બાળકને પ્રેમ અને માર્ગદર્શન મેળવવા બહાર ન જવું પડે. સંતાન ભયાનક કાર્યો કરે ત્યારે પણ, જેઓ પોતાના સંતાનોની વર્તણુંક પ્રેમ અને સમજણથી ફેરવી શકે તે જ ખરા માબાપ છે. આ જગત ને ફક્ત પ્રેમથી જ જીતી શકાય. પ્રેમાળ કુટુંબ માટે, માબાપે પોતે નૈતિકતા કેળવવી જોઈએ. માબાપ તરફથી સંતાનો ને એવો પ્રેમ મળવો જોઈએ કે સંતાનોને તેમને છોડવાનું મન ન થાય. જો તમારે તમારા સંતાનને સુધારવું છે તો તેની જવાબદારી તમારા શિરે છે. તમે તમારા સંતાન પ્રત્યેની ફરજથી બંધાયેલા છો. કિશોરાવસ્થામાં સંતાનને ઉછેરવું એ કદાચ માબાપની કુશળતાની સૌથી મુશ્કેલ કસોટી હશે, જેને માટે તેઓ જરાપણ કેળવાયેલા નથી. આજના કિશોરની આંતરિક અવસ્થાની ઊંડી અને સંપૂર્ણ સમજણથી પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીએ તેમને કેમ જીતવા તે આપણને બતાવ્યું છે. આ પુસ્તકથી પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રી માબાપને, સંતાનો સાથે વર્તવામાં, તેમનામાં નૈતિકતા, શિસ્ત અને શિષ્ટાચાર લાવવામાં મદદ કરે છે. પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીએ સંતાન માબાપના સંબંધો મજબુત બનાવવા અને માબાપની સેવા કરવી તે સૌથી મોટો ધર્મ છે તે બાબતોનું માર્ગદર્શન બાળકોને પણ આપ્યું છે.
Machiavelli for Women: Defend Your Worth, Grow Your Ambition, and Win the Workplace
by Stacey Vanek SmithFrom the NPR host of The Indicator and correspondent for Planet Money comes an &“accessible, funny, clear-eyed, and practical&” (Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author) guide for how women can apply the principles of 16th-century philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli to their work lives and finally shatter the glass ceiling—perfect for fans of Feminist Fight Club, Lean In, and Nice Girls Don&’t Get the Corner Office.Women have been making strides towards equality for decades, or so we&’re often told. They&’ve been increasingly entering male-dominated areas of the workforce and consistently surpassing their male peers in grades, university attendance, and degrees. They&’ve recently stormed the political arena with a vengeance. But despite all of this, the payoff is—quite literally—not there: the gender pay gap has held steady at about 20% since 2000. And the number of female CEOs for Fortune 500 companies has actually been declining. So why, in the age of #MeToo and #TimesUp, is the glass ceiling still holding strong? And how can we shatter it for once and for all? Stacy Vanek Smith&’s advice: ask Machiavelli &“with this delicious look at what we have to gain by examining our relationship to power&” (Sally Helgesen, New York Times bestselling author). Using The Prince as a guide and with charm and wit, Smith applies Renaissance politics to the 21st century, and demonstrates how women can take and maintain power in careers where they have long been cast as second-best. &“Machiavelli For Women is the ultimate battle guide for our times. Brimming with hard-boiled strategies, laced with wit, it&’s a must read for every woman ready to wield power unapologetically&” (Claire Shipman, coauthor of The Confidence Code).
Machista con hijas
by Gustavo RodríguezLlega en formato libro el exitoso podcast de Gustavo Rodríguez Un escritor nacido en pleno siglo XX, criado y educado entre varones en una ciudad provinciana, ve llegar a su vida a tres hijas cada tres años. Ahora que sus hijas están grandes, siente que con ellas ha desmontado gran parte de su antigua mentalidad. De cambiar pañales a cambiar puntos de vista. De juerguearse con sus amigos a ver cómo empiezan a juerguearse ellas. De comprar anticonceptivos para sus novias a comprárselos a ellas. —Ya, papá, supéralo. Pues para superarlo, decidió escribir este libro. Gustavo Rodríguez se considera a sí mismo un “machista en constante redención”. Estas páginas dan constancia de la gesta personal de alguien que desafía las estructuras de pensamiento impuestas por la sociedad. A través de relatos cortos, Rodríguez propone esta bitácora de aprendizajes, anécdotas y nuevos desaprendizajes como el impacto de ver a sus hijas en minifaldas y con tatuajes, la aparición de novios en casa, el uso de anticonceptivos, entre otros. La llegada de sus tres hijas significó un desafío constante a sus ideas y parámetros establecidos por el cambio generacional. Un desaprender para volver a aprender y, en esa transformación, intentar ser mejor para quienes amamos. Machista con hijas nació como un pódcast que, poco a poco, ha generado gran impacto en Iberoamérica. Era de esperar que sus voces encuentren camino en un libro como este.
The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help
by Jackson Katz"A candid look at the cultural factors that lend themselves to tolerance of abuse and violence against women."—Booklist Revised and updated to include current studies, politics, and discussions, The Macho Paradox is the first book to show how violence against women is a male issue as well as a female one — and how we can come together to stop it. Written by pioneering anti-violence educator Jackson Katz, The Macho Paradox incorporates the voices and experiences of women and men who have confronted the problem from all angles, the discussions surrounding currents events in politics and pop-culture, and where the violence is ignored or encouraged in our upbringing. Katz also offers cogent explanations for why so many men harass and hurt women, and he shows what can be done to stop the violence. By working together as allies, Katz shows how all genders can end the abuse and mistreatment of women.Additional Praise for The Macho Paradox:"If only men would read Katz's book, it could serve as a potent form of male consciousness-raising."—Publishers Weekly"These pages will empower both men and women to end the scourge of male violence and abuse. Katz knows how to cut to the core of the issues, demonstrating undeniably that stopping the degradation of women should be every man's priority."—Lundy Bancroft, author of Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men
The Macho Paradox
by Jackson KatzPraise for The Macho Paradox"An honest, intellectually rigorous and insightful work that challenges readers to truly engage in a political discourse that can change lives, communities and nations. "--Rosalind Wiseman, author of Queen Bees and Wannabes"Jackson Katz is an American hero! With integrity and courage, he has taken his message--that the epidemic of violence against women is a men's issue--into athletic terms, the military and frat houses across the country.

" --Michael Kimmel, author of Manhood in America, spokesperson, National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS)"If only men would read Katz's book, it could serve as a potent form of male consciousness-raising. "--Publishers Weekly"This book leaves no man behind when it comes to taking violence against women personally. . . . After reading this book you can see how important it is to be a stand-up guy and not a standy-by guy, no matter what race or culture you come from. "--Alfred L. McMichael, 14th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps and now serving as the Sergeant Major of NATO"A candid look at the cultural factors that lend themselves to tolerance of abuse and violence against women.

Made for Goodness: And Why This Makes All the Difference
by Archbishop Desmond Tutu Mpho Tutu"We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness."—Desmond Tutu In this personal and inspirational book, the late beloved Nobel Prize-winner and humanitarian shares the secret of joy and hope in the face of life’s difficulties.Archbishop Desmond Tutu witnessed some of the world’s darkest moments, for decades fighting the racist government policy of apartheid and since then being an ambassador of peace amidst political, diplomatic, and natural disasters. Yet people find him and his work joyful and hopeful. In Made for Goodness, Tutu shares his source of strength and optimism.Written with his daughter, Mpho, who is also an ordained Anglican minister, Tutu argues that God has made us for goodness, and when we simply start walking in the direction of this calling, God is there to meet us, encourage us, embrace us. God has made the world as a grand theater for us to work out this call to goodness; it is up to us to live up to this calling, but God is there to help us every step of the way. So, tackling our worst problems takes on new meaning and is bostered with hope and the expectation that that is exactly where God will show up. Father and daughter offer an inspiring message of hope that will transform readers into activists for change and blessing.
