The Warrior Mind: Ancient Wisdom from the Martial Arts for Living a More Powerful Life
by Jim Pritchard Sharon LindenburgerWhen we think of martial arts, we think of self defense, but for the true practitioner it is so much more than that. It is a mindset, a form of mental discipline that enables the warrior to face any challenge with grace and strength. In The Warrior Mind, Jim Pritchard, a disciple of legendary Ninjitsu and Taijitsu masters, reveals how we can adopt this mindset whether or not we practice the physical components of the martial arts. Pritchard describes six mental principles: * Attentive curiosity: slow down, observe calmly * Undulation: move side-to-side to build strength * Clear intent: know when and how to act * Grappling: engage the issue or opponent with confidence * Rolling waves: demonstrate persistence and the will to triumph * Whirlwind: when necessary, unleash an all-out onslaught Using colorful anecdotes, insightful examples, and inspiring stories, Pritchard shows how these six principles will help readers maintain focus and balance -- no matter what obstacles await them.

The Warrior Within: Own Your Power to Serve, Fight, Protect, and Heal
by D.J. VanasA transformational guide to getting yourself right in order to accomplish the work you were meant to do, from speaker, former U.S. Air Force officer, and member of the Ottawa tribe D.J. Vanas.When faced with an important job, and people depending on you to do it, most of us will give and give until there&’s nothing left. But running on empty, even for a worthy cause, only sets you up for failure in the long run. To persevere on the path to success requires more than sheer fearlessness and willpower. It requires what D.J. Vanas calls the warrior spirit, the kind of strength that looks outward but comes from deep within. Drawing inspiration from Native American philosophy and tradition, The Warrior Within outlines a new model for personal power in the face of overwhelming chaos. A true warrior is not the toughest or bravest person in the room. A true warrior is committed to self-mastery, knows how to navigate change and disruption, transforms setbacks into opportunities for achievement, refuses to quit, and most importantly, always fights for something bigger than the self. With a vast array of stories and examples, from vision quests to treacherous hikes to veterans and service providers at the front lines, Vanas shows how to apply these principles to transform how you show up both for yourself and those around you. More than an empowerment manual, The Warrior Within is a call to accomplish the world-changing work you were meant for by tapping into the power of the warrior spirit.

Was immer geschehen ist, ist Gerechtigkeit
by Dada BhagwanWenn du sagst, dass alles, was geschieht, Gerechtigkeit ist, wirst du keine Fragen mehr haben. Dennoch sind die Menschen auf der Suche nach Gerechtigkeit und wünschen sich gleichzeitig die Befreiung. Das ist widersprüchlich. Du kannst nicht beides haben. Wo Fragen aufhören beginnt die Befreiung. In dieser unserer Wissenschaft, genannt Akram Vignan (das stufenlose Wissen des Selbst), bleiben keine Fragen übrig. Deshalb ist es für Menschen so einfach, ihr zu folgen. Param Pujya Dadashri (Meister der spirituellen Wissenschaft) hat der Welt die außergewöhnliche Entdeckung gegeben, dass es in dieser Welt niemals Ungerechtigkeit gibt. Alles, was geschehen ist, ist Gerechtigkeit. Die Natur weicht niemals von der Gerechtigkeit ab. Die Natur ist keine Person oder ein Gott, der unter irgendeinem Einfluss steht. Natur bedeutet, die sich bedingenden Umstände. So viele Umstände müssen stimmen, damit eine Aufgabe erfüllt werden kann.

Wat is jou Nalatenskap? 101 Idees om 'n Nalatenskap te skep en bou
by Anca IoviţăIs jy by ‘n kruispad? Wonder jy wat jy met jou lewe met doen? Sal die lewe makliker wees as jy net bietjie aanwysings kon kry? Selfs al gesels mense nie oor nalatenskappe nie, is hierdie die vrae wat gedurende die stil ure van die nag in amper almal se gedagtes maal. Veral in dié van ons wat sekere mylpale bereik soos volwassenheid, middeljare en aftrede. Het jy al ooit die proses van metamorfose van ‘n skoenlapper opgelet? Om uit die kokon te kom is moeilik en pynlik. Jy mag dink jy doen die skoenlapper ‘n guns as jy die kokon se boonste deel oop knip sodat dit makliker kan uitkom, maar as jy dit doen sal die skoenlapper se vlerke nie behoorlik ontwikkel nie en dit sal kruppel wees vir die res van sy lewe. Stribbeling en uitdagings is nodig vir metamorfose om plaas te vind. Hulle is ook nodig vir die skep en bou van ‘n nalatenskap.
Watch and Learn: How I Turned Hollywood Upside Down with Netflix, Redbox, and MoviePass—Lessons in Disruption
by Mitch LoweGet an inside perspective on the entertainment distribution revolution from an executive who lived it with Netflix, Redbox, and MoviePass, and who continues to consult, speak, and share his unique understanding of how to disrupt the status quo and adapt to what the customer wants. When Warner Brothers announced they'd be streaming all their new 2021 theatrical releases simultaneously on HBO Max, it sent shock waves through the entertainment industry. But it was also an inevitable decision, and one soon to be copied by the other major studios scrambling to keep up with just how radically the way we watch movies has changed over the past two decades. Mitch Lowe has been at the forefront of that revolution, helping to shape a world where you can watch whatever movie, wherever and whenever you want. Lowe was one of the founding executives at Netflix; served as president of Redbox, the DVD rental kiosks outside Walmart and supermarkets around the country; and as the CEO of MoviePass, the much-lauded monthly movie theater subscription that, even as it failed, changed the way movie theaters operate forever. Along the way, Lowe learned that genuine disruption doesn't always mean aggressive upheaval and overnight success. More often than not, true disruption is the result of perseverance, imagination, and a constantly evolving quest to understand what it is that customers really want. In Watch and Learn, Mitch Lowe will tell the inside story of the dramatic evolution of the entertainment business, from the days of early cable television, Beta, and VHS to a world where consumers have infinite choice and control of the movies they see. He'll also share personal stories from a wild ride that began with his dropping out of high school and living on the edge of conflict in an Israeli kibbutz, smuggling goods and money between Europe and the Middle East, and ultimately embracing Buddhism. Along the way readers will gain essential insights and lessons that extend far beyond the entertainment industry, rooted in Lowe's keen sense for seeing ahead of the curve and intuiting customer needs, and applicable to anyone who has ambitions to disrupt and succeed: from leading with love and imagination, to reinforcing the intrinsic power of gut instinct with data and testing, to the ultimate competitive advantage of getting closest to the customer, and the value of perseverance and tinkering. "Whether you're just starting out in business or already have a long track record of success, you'll find plenty to learn from a man who has seen it all, done most of it, and met everyone. You'll see . . . there's nobody else like Mitch." —from the Foreword by Marc Randolph, Co-founder and First CEO of Netflix, and author of That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea

The Water Of Life: A Treatise on Urine Therapy
by John W ArmstrongIn this revolutionary treatise, J W Armstrong puts the compelling case that all diseases (except those caused by traumatism or structural disorders) can be cured by one simple means: urine therapy. The therapy is an entirely natural treatment, a drugless system of healing that treats the body as a whole. Moreover, the only ingredient needed is a substance manufactured in the body itself, rich in mineral salts, hormones and other vital substances, namely human urine. It may seem strange to take back into the body something that the body is apparently discarding. Yet the theory is similar to the natural practice of organic composting. Fallen leaves, when dug back into the soil, provide valuable mineral salts to nourish new plant life. The same principle holds true for the human body.
