The Ikigai Journey


Book Description

In The Ikigai Journey, authors Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles take their international bestseller Ikigai: the Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life a step further by showing you how to find your own ikigai through practical exercises, such as employing new habits and stepping outside your comfort zone. Ikigai is the place where our passion (what we love), mission (what we hope to contribute), vocation (the gifts we have to offer the world) and profession (how our passions and talents can become a livelihood) converge, giving us a personal sense of meaning. This book helps you bring together all of these elements so that you can enjoy a balanced life. Our ikigai is very similar to change: it is a constant that transforms depending on which phase of life we are in. Our "reason for being" is not the same at 15 as it is at 70. Through three sections, this book helps you to accept and embrace that--acting as a tool to revolutionize your future by helping you to understand the past, so you can enjoy your present. Section 1: Journey Through the Future: Tokyo (a symbol of modernity and innovation) Section 2: Journey Through the Past: Kyoto (an ancient capital moored in tradition) Section 3: Journey Through the Present: Ise (an ancient shrine that is destroyed and rebuilt every twenty years) Japan has one of the longest life spans in the world, and the greatest number of centenarians--many of whom cite their strong sense of ikigai as the basis for their happiness and longevity. Unlike many "self-care" practices, which require setting aside time in an increasingly busy world, the ikigai method helps you find peace and fulfillment in your busy life.

90 Days To Quit Smoking Logbook and Gratitude Journal - Give Up Cigarettes Now!


Book Description

Blank journal to record thoughts, gratitude, challenges, and healing during the first 90 days of the journey to quitting cigarettes. I am writing to thank you for your ideas on breathing exercises and meditation that have helped me to give up smoking. I had tried everything from patches to gum and you showed me the way was inside me. Gretchen from Scottsdale, Arizona In 2007, a TIME magazine article detailed scientific evidence showing that it takes approximately 90 days for the brain to reset itself and shake off the immediate influence of a drug. Researchers from Yale University found a gradual re-engaging of the brain's analytical function after an addict had abstained for at least 90 days. Old habits can be hard to break, and we need all the help we can get when beating addiction. So, we created this journal / logbook for the 90 journey. I'd just like to say thank you so much for taking the time to care enough to share your wonderful advice. I have been smoke free for 2 weeks now and I have a huge smile on my face. Paula from Denver, Colorado Firstly, we summarize the main ways of giving up smoking before explaining my own method which allowed me to stop easily without any bad side effects or cravings. After that, you can decide to give up smoking when you want and keep to a 90-day log and gratitude journal for the next three months. The success of the journey will have a lot to do with your mental attitude. I have to write as I haven't seen my wife so happy in so many years. We both never believed I would stop smoking but I did thanks to your words. Thank you. Padraig from Cork, Ireland For this reason, we suggest writing down your thoughts during everyone of the 90 days you spend clean. Focus on positivity We recommend recording something you were grateful for on each of the 90 days. Did you have a lovely meal today? Did someone smile at you today? Were you grateful for having hot or cold running water today? Write it down. Journalling allows time for these new patterns to become habits. Although 90 days is considered the gold standard of treatment, you can't put a timeline on beating an addiction. Addiction is a life-long enemy, and recovery is a daily battle - even year after kicking the habit. Ideal design for beating addiction: Attractive design with a motivational quote every page is perfect for jotting down things that you are grateful for in everyday life. All lines in the notebook are dark grey, instead of black, so they are less distracting.

The Daily Stoic


Book Description

From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller. Why have history's greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today's top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.




Talking to Strangers


Book Description

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers and why they often go wrong—now with a new afterword by the author. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.
