The Third Door: The Mindset of Success
by Alex BanayanFORBES #1 CAREER BOOK TO READ IN 2018The larger-than-life journey of an 18-year-old college freshman who set out from his dorm room to track down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, and dozens more of the world&’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.The Third Door takes readers on an unprecedented adventure—from hacking Warren Buffett&’s shareholders meeting to chasing Larry King through a grocery store to celebrating in a nightclub with Lady Gaga—as Alex Banayan travels from icon to icon, decoding their success. After remarkable one-on-one interviews with Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, Jane Goodall, Larry King, Jessica Alba, Pitbull, Tim Ferriss, Quincy Jones, and many more, Alex discovered the one key they have in common: they all took the Third Door. Life, business, success… it&’s just like a nightclub. There are always three ways in. There&’s the First Door: the main entrance, where ninety-nine percent of people wait in line, hoping to get in. The Second Door: the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities slip through. But what no one tells you is that there is always, always… the Third Door. It&’s the entrance where you have to jump out of line, run down the alley, bang on the door a hundred times, climb over the dumpster, crack open the window, sneak through the kitchen—there&’s always a way in. Whether it&’s how Bill Gates sold his first piece of software or how Steven Spielberg became the youngest studio director in Hollywood history, they all took the Third Door.
The Third Eye: Awakening Your True Self
by Gian KumarThe Third Eye takes you beyond spirituality, distancing the self from its doing, towards a higher knowledge where you are neither the observer, knower, doer, enjoyer nor the experiencer. You are neither the physical nor that mental being, for they are but temporarily yours . . . appearing and disappearing in that ocean of awareness. You are that formless, eternal presence of universal aware energy performing the Lila of life as the witness, which radiates through its field of consciousness. In fact, you are merely an I-less state of that being-ness, the subject of observation, observing through your mind on the objects being observed. The subject of spiritualism is indifferent to the world of emotions. It goes beyond passion and compassion into dispassion; it is sensitive to all as one. Through this sublime subject, the author takes you away from those scriptures prescribed by Krishna, Jesus, or Buddha into a state of non-being, beyond space and time, entrapped in an individualized soul—the role it plays during the making of what you are. You, as the spirit, do not transmute but only watch in silence—beyond all efforts and methods—effortlessly witnessing all that is around. This book will enthral and enchant every serious spiritual seeker, those who wish to know the beyond of all beyond.

The Third Option: Hope for a Racially Divided Nation
by Drew Brees Miles McPhersonMiles McPherson, founder of The Rock Church in San Diego, speaks out about the pervasive racial divisions in today’s culture and argues that we must learn to see people not by the color of their skin, but as God sees them—humans created in the image of God.Miles McPherson has had enough of shying away from a major problem in America today: racial tension. It’s a topic that's widely recognized, yet rarely acknowledged. Sunday morning is the most segregated time in America today, and our preference for clinging to those who are like us leads to big problems in our country as a whole. Even Christians—who, if they claim to follow God, should be the people most outspoken against racism—fall short, and many of us feel obliged to choose sides. Us vs. them. Cops vs. protestors. Blacks vs. whites. The Third Option is a plea on behalf of a brokenhearted God who, Scripture teaches, is frustrated with those of us who claim to believe in Him but are really “faking the faith.” McPherson argues that we must rise above the issues that divide us and be part of something bigger. The Third Option challenges both believers and seekers to fully embrace God’s goodness and power. As senior pastor of Rock Church in San Diego, he doesn’t shy away from core issues that have caused a great divide both within the church and across the country. He believes that instead of choosing one of two sides, there is a third option—one that’s proven to bring people together, mend relationships, and promote genuine peace in communities. Miles exposes common misconceptions that keep people at a distance and encourages us to engage with those who look different from us and expand our world. Full of practical takeaways and exercises to help us understand the points of view of others, this book inspires, encourages, and equips us to make positive changes in our country—starting with ourselves.

Thirsting: Quenching Our Soul's Deepest Desire
by Strahan ColemanWhat if the longing we feel is a sign of God&’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives.

In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to: Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching Allow God&’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communion You thirst because you are thirsted for.

This Beauty: A Philosophy of Being Alive
by Nick RiggleAn acclaimed philosopher and new father argues that engaging with beauty can make life worth living You didn&’t choose to live this life, in this body, in these conditions—this delicate and difficult life. Yet when you consider that your existence is fleeting, an inspired sense of urgency can spring forth. Say you often hike with a friend. One day, they propose that you skydive instead. You&’re wavering, and they insist: Come on. You only live once! And soon you&’re flying through the air. Why embrace a life you did not choose? In This Beauty, philosopher Nick Riggle explores the beauty of being alive by investigating the things we say to inspire ourselves and each other: seize the day, treat yourself, you only live once. These clichés are at best vague, at worst stupid. They imply that you should do something wild with your life because your life is precious, a little like saying you should go swimming with your grandfather&’s watch because it is irreplaceable. Drawing on insights from aesthetics and his experiences as a professional skater and new father, he develops the thought that beauty—the beauty of this day, this body, this moment, these people—can make life worth embracing, worth engaging with and amplifying as beautiful. Insightful and deeply humane, This Beauty is a searching inquiry into the mystery of life&’s beauty and a call to create and share it.

This Book Was a Tree
by Marcie Chambers CuffAt no time in human history have we been more disconnected with what lies outside our front doors. Within just a century, our relationship with our surroundings has transformed from one of exploration to one of disassociation. In This Book Was a Tree, science teacher Marcie Cuff issues a call for a new era of pioneers--not leathery, backwoods deerskin-wearing salt pork and hominy pioneers, but strong-minded, clever, crafty, mudpie-making, fort-building individuals committed to examining the natural world and deciphering nature's perplexing puzzles. Within each chapter, readers will discover a principle for reconnecting with the natural world around them, from learning to be still to discovering the importance of giving back. With a mix of science and hands-on crafts and activities, readers will be encouraged to brainstorm, imagine, and understand the world as inventive scientists--to touch, collect, document, sketch, decode, analyze, experiment, unravel, interpret, compare, and reflect.
