The Wisdom of a Meaningful Life: The Essence of Mindfulness
by John BrunaA rich and multilayered guide that offers readers accessible wisdom and practical methods to cultivate deeper satisfaction in everyday experiences. In contrast to stimulus-driven pleasure, contentment comes from living a life of meaning that aligns with one's values. The author identifies the common traps people fall into looking for happiness that actually create stress, worries, and fears, and offers authentic mindfulness-based solutions to counteract them.The increasing popularity of secular mindfulness in the United States mainstream has unfortunately produced a variety of teachings that water down and misunderstand this important philosophy and approach to living. Mindfulness is often reduced to concentration exercises and a simplistic definition of being aware of the present moment. In nearly all secular presentations of mindfulness, it is taken out of the rich context of the Three Higher Trainings (ethics, concentration, and wisdom) of Buddhism in which it was originally taught. The unique feature of this book is that it maintains the substance of the entire teaching as a program that is accessible to people of all spiritual traditions or no spiritual tradition. John Bruna is a counselor, mindfulness and spiritual teacher, and Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) in California. In 2005, he was ordained as a Buddhist monk in the Tibetan tradition through the Gaden Shartse Monastery in India. In 2012, he became a Certified Cultivating Emotional Balance Mindfulness Teacher via the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies. Currently, John is the director of the Way of Compassion Foundation and cofounder of the Mindful Life Program.

During those four decades, Admiral McRaven dealt with every conceivable leadership challenge, from commanding combat operations—including the capture of Saddam Hussein, the rescue of Captain Phillips, and the raid for Osama bin Laden. THE WISDOM OF THE BULLFROG draws on these and countless other experiences from Admiral McRaven&’s incredible life, including crisis situations, management debates, organizational transitions, and ethical dilemmas, to provide readers with the most important leadership lessons he has learned over the course of his forty years of service. Each chapter provides a Make Your Bed-like parable, rich with insights like those featured in his bestselling memoir, Sea Stories, about the specific leadership traits required to be at the top of your game, including: Who Dares, Wins Run to the Sound of the Guns No Plan Survives First Contact with the Enemy THE WISDOM OF THE BULLFROG is Admiral McRaven&’s clear-eyed treatise on the leadership qualities that separate the good from the truly great.

The Wisdom to Know the Difference
by Eileen FlanaganThis wise book guides readers in discovering what they can-and should-change in their lives, accepting what they cannot, and discovering "the wisdom to know the difference. " Thousands of people have been moved by the famous last lines of the Serenity Prayer: God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. But how exactly can we know the difference? How can we acknowledge our true limits without negating the possibility for dramatic change? In this inspiring book, Eileen Flanagan draws on her own Quaker faith as well as a range of other religious and spiritual traditions to show readers how they can learn to listen to their own inner voice in determining when a change is needed in their lives or when instead acceptance is the answer. These lessons come to life through the inspiring stories of various individuals, including: the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who talks about the power of forgiveness and her work to end the war; A Katrina survivor who describes how she learned inner peace the hard way; a family therapist who shares what he learned about accepting the things he cannot change from the car accident that left him paralyzed. This illuminating book leads readers to discover the serenity that comes when one has gained "the wisdom to know the difference. "

An excellent tool for estate planning, as well, this is essential reading for those who are writing their wills as well as those who are remembered in one.
The Wisest Fool And Other Men of the Bible
by Clarence Edward MacartneyAs a master of biographical preaching, Macartney examines the successes and failures of great Bible characters.“INCLUDING THOSE IN THIS BOOK, I FIND THAT I HAVE preached 167 sermons on the characters of the Bible. In a number of instances, however, some of the sermons have dealt with different aspects of the same men and women, or with different incidents in their lives. It has been a long and delightful study for me. I discovered early in my ministry that people like biography; and nowhere is there such biography, so stirring, so moving, so uplifting, so tragic, as that to be found in the Bible.It has been a joy to me to learn that these different volumes of sermons on Bible characters have been suggestive and of help to not a few preachers in their own work and ministry. There are still other interesting men and women in the Bible about whom I have never preached a sermon. Perhaps at some time in the future I shall be able to preach on them also.”-Foreword
