by David NichternA friendly, funny, practical guide for creatives and entrepreneurs, written by a four-time Emmy award-winning and two-time Grammy-nominated composer-guitarist-producer who has worked with Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Garcia, Lana Del Rey, and Krishna Das, among many others. Also a beloved and highly regarded Buddhist teacher, David teaches readers how to integrate their creative process with their spiritual practice and livelihood.“How do I make a living doing what I love?” “Am I a sellout as an artist if I want to be successful?” “How do I integrate my spiritual principles with the art of running a business? And actually, um, how do I run a business?” Wondering how to reconcile your calling with your need to make a living wage, or what to do once your art starts selling, or how to achieve success in your field, or what it even means to be successful? David Nichtern offers his lived, learned experience as an entrepreneur, musician, and Buddhist teacher to first help you figure out what “success” means to you and then show you how to get there. He offers advice on the creative process and principles of business and ethics—everything from “listen to the muse!” to “protect your intellectual property!”—and provides mindfulness exercises to help you integrate inspiration and aspiration, vocation and avocation—to go from surviving to thriving. Whether you’re a baker trying to grow from the farmer’s market to a brick-and-mortar or a CEO exploring how taking care of your employees can be the same as taking care of your business—if you’re trying to align your spiritual, creative, and financial pursuits and discover what it means to truly live well, this book is for you.
Creatrix Rising: Unlocking the Power of Midlife Women
by Stephanie RaffelockEver since Eve was banned from the garden, women have endured the oftentimes painful and inaccurate definitions foisted upon them by the patriarchy. Maiden, mother, and crone, representing the three stages assigned to a woman&’s life cycle, have been the limiting categories of both ancient and modern (neo-pagan) mythology. And one label in particular rankles: crone. The word conjures a wizened hag—useless for the most part, marginalized by appearance and ability.None of us has ever truly fit the old-crone image, and for today&’s midlife women, a new archetype is being birthed: the creatrix.In Creatrix Rising, Stephanie Raffelock lays out—through personal stories and essays—the highlights of the past fifty years, in which women have gone from a quiet strength to a resounding voice. She invites us along on her own transformational journey by providing probing questions for reflection so that we can flesh out and bring to life this new archetype within ourselves. If what the Dalai Lama has predicted—that women will save the world—proves true, then the creatrix will for certain be out front, leading the pack.

The power of these stories is amplified by Yalom's reflections on his own life as he reckons with its inevitable end. Suffused with humor, great artistry, and a profound humanity, Creatures of a Day lays bare the necessary task we each face, each day, to make our own lives meaningful.

Creatures of Habit: Breaking the Habits Holding You Back from God's Best
by Steve PoeBeloved pastor Steve Poe helps Christians identify and break free from the destructive patterns that are keeping them from the joy-filled, flourishing life Jesus promised.We all have both good and bad habits in our life. Creatures of Habit reveals how to remove bad habits and replace them with godly ones. But it's not a matter of working hard, of "pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps." That approach simply doesn't work. True transformation is God's work--our job is to listen, obey, and put into practice what he's already directing us to do.Steve Poe has pastored large, growing churches for more than thirty-four years, and during that time he has counseled hundreds of people. He's seen that poor choices often become bad habits that in turn cause people a lot of problems. Hundreds of things can become a bad habit in our lives, but Poe focuses on the most common, among them:anger,lust,worry,cynicism,pride,self-centeredness, andgreed.Each chapter provides insights, biblical examples, and tangible tools that will help you break the bad habits that can become spiritual strongholds in your life.
Crecer bebiendo del propio pozo: Taller de crecimiento personal
by Carlos Cabarrús PellecerÉste no es un libro para leer, sino un taller, una experiencia vital que solamente puede asimilarse en la medida en la que se realice. Es el producto de más de doce años de trabajo y experimentación de la temática propuesta y su fuente principal, como dice el autor, es su experiencia de haberlo hecho mal como formador. Esto le impulsó a la búsqueda de materiales, de técnicas y, sobre todo, de actitudes que le ayudaran a caminar hacia la madurez.La fundamentación teórica que subyace en todo él es la compilación de varias propuestas terapéuticas. De ellas el autor retoma, amplía, reelabora, adapta y genera, en una presentación libre, los ejercicios y herramientas que se ofrecen. Este material -que se realiza en tres niveles: personal, en grupo de vida y en la puesta en común- se presenta en cinco partes: la construcción de la comunidad, el descubrir y sanar mi herida, el descubrir y potenciar mi manantial, las herramientas terapéuticas y los complementos teóricos.Es importante enfatizar que, en primer lugar, éste no es un libro terminado sino en proceso, pues cada taller lo abre a nuevos ejercicios o a reinterpretaciones de los antiguos; y en segundo lugar, no se trata de un libro de consulta, sino de una herramienta de trabajo: solamente haciendo la experiencia vital de cada instrumento propuesto es posible asimilar la densidad de su efecto, y despertar e introyectar el camino del conocimiento y crecimiento personal que brota del manantial y abre la fuente de agua viva.La página final la escribirá, en definitiva, cada una de las personas que acepten el riesgo de vivir esta experiencia y de dejarse modificar por ella. Carlos R. Cabarrús (Guatemala, 1946) Es Doctor en Antropología Cultural y Licenciado en Filosofía y Teología. Ha recibido una sólida formación, tanto en el campo de la Espiritualidad como en el de la orientación psicoterapéutica (Psicoterapia Experiencial y Focusing, Bioenergética, Gestalt, etc...) Ha sido maestro de novicios de los jesuitas centroamericanos durante cerca de diez años y actualmente es el fundador y director del Instituto Centroamericano de Espiritualidad (ICE) en Guatemala.Sus publicaciones tienen que ver con las dos ramas de sus intereses profesionales: el antropológico cultural y el de una espiritualidad encarnada: Génesis de una revolución, Antropología: La conquista de la identidad, La cosmovisión Queqchi en proceso de cambio, Seducidos por el Dios de los Pobres, Orar tu propio sueño, La mesa del banquete del reino, Puestos con el Hijo.Sus intereses personales dentro de la antropología cultural tienen que ver con los problemas campesinos y todo lo concerniente a la identidad étnica. En el campo psicoespiritual, la relación con el cuerpo y la experiencia de Dios en el ámbito de una justicia que brota de la fe. Le gusta la música y disfruta tocándola de oído al piano.
Credible: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers
by Deborah TuerkheimerIn this landmark book, a former prosecutor, legal expert, and leading authority on sexual violence examines why we are primed to disbelieve allegations of sexual abuse—and how we can transform a culture and a legal system structured to dismiss accusers Sexual misconduct accusations spark competing claims: her word against his. How do we decide who is telling the truth? The answer comes down to credibility. But as this eye-opening book reveals, invisible forces warp the credibility judgments of even the well- intentioned among us. We are all shaped by a set of false assumptions and hidden biases embedded in our culture, our legal system, and our psyches. In Credible, Deborah Tuerkheimer provides a much-needed framework to explain how we perceive credibility, why our perceptions are distorted, and why these distortions harm survivors. Social hierarchies and inequalities foster doubt that is commonplace and predictable, resulting in what Tuerkheimer calls the “credibility discount”—our dismissal of claims by certain kinds of speakers—primarily women, and especially those who are more marginalized. The #MeToo movement has exposed how victims have been badly served by a system that is designed not to protect them, but instead to protect the status quo. Credibility lies at the heart of this system. Drawing on case studies, moving first-hand accounts, science, and the law, Tuerkheimer identifies widespread patterns and their causes, analyzes the role of power, and examines the close, reciprocal relationship between culture and law—guiding us toward accurate credibility judgments and equitable treatment of those whose suffering has long been disregarded.#MeToo has touched off a massive reckoning. To achieve lasting progress, we must shift our approach to belief. Credible helps us forge a path forward to ensuring justice for the countless individuals affected by sexual misconduct.
Credit and Blame at Work: How Better Assessment Can Improve Individual, Team and Organizational Success
by Ben DattnerPreviously published as The Blame Game, this acclaimed guide by a leading workplace expert offers essential advice about how to succeed at work by avoiding the pitfalls of pervasive credit-grabbing and finger-pointing.Credit and Blame at Work, praised by bestselling management expert Robert Sutton as “a modern management classic; one of the most well-crafted business books I have ever read,” psychologist and workplace consultant Ben Dattner reveals that at the root of the worst problems at work is the skewed allocation of credit and blame. It’s human nature to resort to blaming others, as well as to take more credit for successes than we should. Many managers also foster a “blame or be blamed” culture that can turn a workplace into a smoldering battlefield and upend your career. Individuals are scapegoated, teams fall apart, projects get derailed, and people become disengaged because fear and resentment take hold. But Dattner shows that we can learn to understand the dynamics of this bad behavior so that we can inoculate ourselves against it. In lively prose, Dattner tells a host of true stories from individuals and teams he’s worked with, identifying the eleven personality types who are especially prone to credit and blame problems and introducing simple methods for dealing with each of them. The rich insights and powerful practical advice Dattner offers allow readers to master the vital skills necessary for rising above the temptations of the blame game, defusing the tensions, and achieving greater success.

Creencia, Duda y Fanatismo: ¿Es esencial tener algo en que creer? (Life Essentials #Volumen)
by Osho¿Es esencial tener algo en que creer? Un hombre de verdadera confianza no tiene creencias, sino que confía porque ha llegado a entender lo hermosa que es la vida.

¿Crees la Biblia o vives la Biblia?: El camino hacia una vida auténtica
by Miguel NúñezEn ¿Crees la Biblia o vives la Biblia?, el Dr. Miguel Núñez explora en profundidad la epístola de Santiago, hermanastro de Jesús y líder de la iglesia de Jerusalén. Este libro te ayudará a comprender que la santificación no es un proceso terapéutico, sino una transformación del Espíritu de Dios a medida que aplicamos la Palabra.Ningún otro libro del Nuevo Testamento enfatiza tanto la necesidad de vivir una vida de obediencia como lo hace Santiago. Esto ha causado muchos a juzgarlo de forma errónea, acusándolo de promover una salvación que se enfoca en obras en vez de una centrada en la gracia por medio de la fe. Sin embargo, un análisis más detallado nos deja ver que el énfasis de Santiago no se centra en cómo una persona se alcanza la salvación, sino en cómo una fe verdadera se manifiesta por una obediencia genuina.Según Santiago, la vida del pueblo de Dios y de cada uno de sus miembros debe ser radicalmente distinta de la vida del resto del mundo: vivimos lo que verdaderamente creemos.A lo largo de esta carta, Santiago nos muestra claramente cómo es esa dicotomía. Por eso Santiago hablade la fe que persevera en medio de la tribulación;de la sabiduría que debemos obtener de parte de Dios para vivir la vida;cómo funciona el pecado en nosotros y cómo no podemos culpar a otros de nuestros pecados;del poder que tiene la oración del hombre justo, yde aquellos que han hecho de las riquezas su Dios, ignorando las necesidades de otros.Para Santiago, «la obediencia es la marca distintiva del cristiano». A través de este libro, los lectores descubrirán que el libro de Santiago revela incoherencias en nuestras vidas. Como resultado, te hará correr hacia Dios para que, mediante su Espíritu transformador, te capacite para vivir una vida que le agrade.Do You Believe the Bible, or Do You Live the Bible?In Do You Believe the Bible, or Do You Live the Bible?, Dr. Miguel Nuñez explores in depth the epistle of James, the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem. This book will help you understand that sanctification is not a therapeutic process, but a transformation of God's Spirit as we apply the Word.No other book in the New Testament emphasizes so much the need to live a life of obedience as James does. This has caused many to misjudge him, accusing him of promoting a salvation that focuses on works rather than one centered on grace through faith. However, a closer look reveals that James' emphasis is not on how a person attains salvation, but on how true faith is manifested by genuine obedience.According to James, the life of God's people and its individual members must look radically different from the life of the rest of the world – we live what we truly believe.Throughout this letter, James shows us clearly what that dichotomy looks like. That is why James speaks:of the faith that perseveres in the midst of tribulation;of the wisdom we must obtain from God in order to live life;how sin works in us and how we cannot blame others for our sins;of the power of the prayer of a righteous man, and of those who have made theof those who have made riches their God, ignoring the needs of others.
Créez l’Effondrement: Guide pratique : se préparer à la chute économique et s’en sortir plus riche
by Richard StookerLa crise financière de 2007-2009 semble avoir été le premier pas vers une dépression déflationniste qui pourrait détruire l'épargne de trois générations d'Américains. Le dollar américain a récemment atteint de nouveaux records de baisse par rapport au yen japonais et au franc suisse , malgré les interventions massives des banques centrales de ces deux pays. La Chine s'est départie de 97% de ses avoirs en bons du Trésor américain à court terme. Cela s'est produit en mars 2011, bien avant la dégradation actuelle. La Chine détient toujours plusieurs milliards de dollars d’obligations du Trésor à long terme et est clairement inquiète pour l’avenir. Elle fait une grande démonstration de soutien à l’économie européenne, elle a donc une alternative au dollar américain. Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas chez nous quand le plus grand pays communiste de la Terre doit nous enseigner comment gérer notre monnaie? Combien de temps encore la Chine, le Japon et les banquiers internationaux continueront-ils d'acheter des bons du Trésor américain pour financer notre budget gonflé? Si ces pays commençaient à vendre des dollars américains au lieu d'acheter, l'hyperinflation mettrait l'Amérique en faillite. Nous - et les Européens - sommes également menacés par les problèmes d'endettement de l'Europe . La Grèce a failli s'enflammer suite aux mesures d'austérité imposées à ce pays. L'Italie, l'Espagne, le Portugal et l'Irlande sont également en mauvais état. Combien de temps les contribuables français et allemands continueront-ils de les soutenir? Si l'euro se désagrège, cela créera plus d'instabilité financière pour le monde entier. L'or a récemment atteint un record de 1 813 $ l'once. Je ne peux pas vous dire exactement ce qui va se passer sur les marchés des changes et financiers dangereux à l'avenir. Peut-être une nouvelle récession - le double creux que certains prédisent depu
Crescimento Pessoal: Coaching e Psicologia pessoal
by Miguel D'AddarioA palavra «coaching» vem do termo inglês «coach», que significa «treinar». O coaching é uma forma de treinar uma pessoa ou um grupo de pessoas para conseguirem alcançar as suas metas de forma eficaz. Neste processo interativo denominado de coaching podemos distinguir duas funções, o coach e o coachee. O coach é o treinador e treina a pessoa ou grupo de pessoas com conversas, seminários, oficinas, etc. para que, ao utilizas suas competências consigam alcançar os objetivos de forma eficaz. Por outro lado, o coachee é a pessoa que recebe o treino, os conhecimentos e as competências necessárias para melhorar a vida pessoal e profissional. No processo de coaching, existe um compromisso de colaboração entre o coach e o coachee, são definidos objetivos específicos e é delimitado um plano de ação para alcançar os objetivos no prazo estabelecido. Para que o processo seja afetivo, deve existir confiança e uma boa relação entre ambas as partes, o coach deve conhecer bem o trabalho a desenvolver pelo coachee e a sua função na empresa, embora também seja necessário ter competências de comunicação.

Crime and Immorality in the Catholic Church
by Emmett McLoughlinThe stories in this book, which was first published in 1962, centre on the actions of some priests during the 1950s, echoing stories from today’s front pages. However, former Franciscan priest and bestselling author of People’s Padre and American Culture and Catholic Schools, Emmett McLoughlin focus in Crime and Immorality in the Catholic Church is less on the priesthood, and more on the parishioners.To investigate his theory that the Catholic religion promotes criminal behavior rather than preventing it, he conducted a survey of all the prisons in the country in 1960. In every state, the percentage of Catholic inmates was greater than the state’s percentage of Catholics in the population, even using the church’s inflated figures. He then performed a similar survey of institutionalized mental patients, exploring the theory that Catholic beliefs drive people crazy, and came up with the same results.A courageous, thought-provoking book.
Crime and Punishment in Early Modern Russia
by Nancy Shields KollmannIn their decades of leading groups all over the world, Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff discovered they could get superior results by creating an unconventional approach to leadership.

Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness
by Melissa DahlNew York magazine's "Science of Us" editor explains the compelling psychology of awkwardness, and asks: what if the moments that make us feel most awkward are actually valuable?Have you ever said goodbye to someone, only to discover that you're both walking in the same direction? Or had your next thought fly out of your brain in the middle of a presentation? Or accidentally liked an old photo on someone's Instagram or Facebook, thus revealing yourself to be a creepy social media stalker?Melissa Dahl, editor of New York magazine's "Science of Us" website, has. After a lifetime of cringing, she became intrigued by awkwardness: a universal but underappreciated emotion. In this witty and compassionate book, Dahl explores the oddest, cringiest corners of our world. She chats with strangers on the busy New York City subway, goes on awkward friend dates using a "Tinder-for-friendship" app, takes improv comedy lessons, and even reads aloud from her (highly embarrassing!) middle school diary to a crowd of strangers.After all of that, she realizes: Awkward moments are opportunities to test yourself. When everyone else is pretending to have it under control, you can be a little braver and grow a little bigger--while remaining true to your awkward self. And along the way, you might find that awkward moments unite us in our mutual human ridiculousness.
