Live the Questions: How Searching Shapes Our Convictions and Commitments
by Jeffrey F. Keuss"Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer." —Rainer Maria Rilke Life is full of questions: questions about our identity, our relationships, our faith. Sometimes it seems like there are no easy answers. But our questioning can lead us on a journey into greater understanding and purpose. Jeffrey Keuss says that asking good questions helps us to lead good lives. He takes us on a tour of Scripture to find insights from people who asked questions of God and others. From God asking Adam and Eve, "Where are you?" to the Samaritan woman asking Jesus for water, Live the Questions explores critical questions in Scripture and what they can teach us about doubt, faith, and uncertainty in our everyday lives. Grappling with hard questions is necessary for us to form deeper faith commitments and discern who we are called to become. So don't be afraid of the questions—live them.

Live Your Humanity: Activate Your Innate Human Values for a Meaningful and Connected Life
by Ron HammondLearn how reestablishing bonds of compassion and empathy for others leads to an empowered life filled with satisfaction and contentment. The pace of life is steadily increasing. The list of daily tasks that need to be completed continues to grow longer and the pressure of time slipping away makes people stressed and anxious. People&’s perspectives shift away from thinking about others, creating distance between them and the rest of the world. This distance causes people to lose touch with the basic human values that everyone shares and that assist in developing meaning and connection in their lives. Integrity, kindness, compassion, and love are gifts that go dormant when people cease to use their power to cultivate and nurture them. The outcome is that they stop treating one another with respect, love, dignity, and acceptance and instead live their lives sitting in judgment, being fearful and giving up their peace. Live Your Humanity teaches readers how to overcome these obstacles by detailing how to activate the human values that they already have. When they do this, they experience a life free of fear and judgment and instead realize a life of meaning and connection.

Live Your Truth: Start Your Journey to Freedom and Healing
by Colleen GallagherLive Your Truth is an empowering and healing journey that helps readers free themselves, find self-fulfillment, and release their ultimate potential. Colleen Gallagher created a life filled with subconscious anger and guilt as well as a persistent sense of unworthiness after being diagnosed with cancer at age fourteen because it allowed her to blame the world for her own unhappiness. Then, at age twenty-three, she had enough. She wanted to figure out how to live the life she truly desired, to turn cancer into a gift and truly find out why she was here. Colleen quit her job, moved across the world to New Zealand and healed herself with love. This experience―and the new openness it ushered in―revealed to her that many people live every day in subconscious negativity which holds them back from their true and unlimited potential. Now she&’s telling her powerful story to spark The Intoxicator Movement. An Intoxicator creates the space to look within, removes the toxic, and becomes what&’s left of their truth in the world. Live Your Truth challenges and empowers readers to undertake their own journey through this five-step process to not only find their truth but to start to live it, too.
Lived Through This
by Anne K. Ream Patricia EvansIn these pages you'll meet a community of rape and sexual violence survivors who have been shaped, but refuse to be defined, by their histories of violence. They are brave, and they are outspoken--but, mostly, they are hopeful. From its insistently resolute opening essay to its final, deeply moving story, Lived Through This is a book that defies conventional wisdom about life in the wake of sexual violence, while putting names and faces on an issue that too often leaves its victims silent and invisible. Part personal history of Anne Ream's own experience rebuilding her life after violence, part memoir of a multi-country, multi-year journey spent listening to survivors, Lived Through This is at once deeply personal and resolutely political. In these pages we are introduced to, among others, the women of Atenco, Mexico, victims of rape and political torture who are speaking out about gender-based violence in Latin America; Beth Adubato, a woman who was raped by a popular athlete and then denied justice when her college failed to fully investigate the attack; and Jenny and Steve Bush, a rape survivor and her father who are working together to share Jenny's testimony of surviving rape at the hands of a veteran in order to alter the US military's response to sexual violence committed by those in its ranks. Writing with compassion, candor, and, at times, even much-needed humor, Ream brings us a series of stories and essays that are as insistent as they are incisive. Considered individually, her profiles are profoundly moving, and even inspiring. Considered collectively, they are a window into a world where sexual violence is more commonplace than most of us imagine. The accomplished and courageous women and men profiled in Lived Through This are, in the words of the author, "living reminders of all that remains possible in the wake of the terrible."From the Hardcover edition.
Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius
by Ryan Holiday Stephen HanselmanFor millennia, Stoicism has been the ancient philosophy that attracts those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. And no wonder: its embrace of self-mastery, virtue and indifference to that which we cannot control has much to offer those grappling with today's chaotic world. But who were the Stoics?In this book, Ryan Holiday and Steohen Hanselman offer a fresh approach to understanding Stoicism through the lives of the people who practiced it. Through short biographies of all the famous, and lesser-known, Stoics, this book will show what it means to live stoically, and reveal the lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. The result is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in search of living a good life.
Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius
by Ryan Holiday Stephen HanselmanFrom the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue.Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It's no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire. In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known--and not so well-known--Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius--slaves to emperors--is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any reader in search of inspiration from the past.
