The Infinite Me


Book Description

"Peacemaker succeeds in addressing the sacred needs of every human being within this practical and honest guide. He begins to untangle the messes we create in our lives daily, and does so through sound advice and compassion for those in search of a more positive lifestyle. By the last page, it feels as though the world is an entirely new thing to be experienced. It deserves a place on the bookshelf, right next to The Four Agreements and Way of the Peaceful Warrior." -Rayla Gomez, Freelance Editor "Reading this book is as if I were sitting at the foot of a Native Elder, listening to the wisdom passed down through centuries of observation, experience and wonder. Not only does Zo expose our self-limiting beliefs, but he gives us simple and effective answers as to how we can begin to change our lives from the inside out." Jake Ducey, Author of Into the Wind "Zo has succeeded in communicating the message that happiness and peace must come from within instead of depending on things outside of ourselves. His message about our power to turn garbage into gold gives us the knowing that living an accountable life can in turn create world peace. Communicating this message to the world is an increasingly important endeavor as humanity continues to wake up and realize in order to create world peace we must first find our own peace within." Daniel Pettegrew, Founder of World Peace Gardens

Book Description

"The clever, fast-moving plot features a strong, appealing heroine, Sylvia Plath's poetry, romance, betrayal, and heart-stopping suspense." - Kirkus Reviews "This ambitious sci-fi novel, filled with multiverses and what-ifs... contains complex world building that would appeal to fans of TV's Orphan Black." - Booklist Almost fifteen, Alicia is smart and funny with a deep connection to the poet Sylvia Plath, but she’s ultimately failing at life.

In one particularly vivid hallucination, Alicia is drawn to a boy her own age named Jax who’s trapped in a dying universe. Days later, her long-lost father shows up at her birthday party, telling her that the hallucinations aren’t hallucinations, but real worlds; she and Jax are bound by a strange past and intertwining present. This leads her on a journey to find out who she is while trying to save the people and worlds she loves. J.Q. Coyle’s The Infinity of You & Me is a wild ride through unruly hearts and vivid worlds guaranteed to captivate.

The Infinite Game


Book Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world. How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers—only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new book, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning. Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future.




Finite and Infinite Games


Book Description

“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.” Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything, from how an actress portrays a role to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory, but infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander. Carse has written a book rich in insight and aphorism. Already an international literary event, Finite and Infinite Games is certain to be argued about and celebrated for years to come. Reading it is the first step in learning to play the infinite game.

The Infinite Moment of Us


Book Description

For as long as she can remember, Wren Gray’s goal has been to please her parents. But as high school graduation nears, so does an uncomfortable realization: Pleasing her parents once overlapped with pleasing herself, but now . . . not so much. Wren needs to honor her own desires, but how can she if she doesn’t even know what they are? Charlie Parker, on the other hand, is painfully aware of his heart’s desire. A gentle boy with a troubled past, Charlie has loved Wren since the day he first saw her. But a girl like Wren would never fall for a guy like Charlie—at least not the sort of guy Charlie believes himself to be. And yet certain things are written in the stars. And in the summer after high school, Wren and Charlie’s souls will collide. But souls are complicated, as are the bodies that house them . . . Sexy, romantic, and oh-so-true to life, this is an unforgettable look at first love from one of young adult fiction’s greatest writers. Praise for The Infinite Moment of Us STARRED REVIEW "The scenes of sexual intimacy are described with innocently erotic frankness, offering an ideal (if not idealized) model for readers on the cusp; this is Forever... for a new generation, offering character depth Cath and Michael never achieved. Summer love has never been so good." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review "In contrast to unhealthy depictions of sex and relationships that teenagers (and adults) are often exposed to in media and entertainment, Myracle offers up a passionate romance built on a bedrock of love, respect, and trust. And it’s difficult to see that as a bad thing." —Publishers Weekly "Two mature recent high school graduates fall in love and bring out the best in each other in Lauren Myracle's thoughtful exploration of an intimate relationship...the relationship between Wren and Charlie always remains realistic and involving." —Shelf Awareness "This charming romance has multidimensional characters, straightforward sexuality, and a pace that lets readers fall in love with the main characters. Myracle expertly captures the intense connection of first love, from the need to spend every moment together to trying to figure out how to communicate with one another." —School Library Journal "The single-focus intensity of Wren and Charlie’s feelings is spot-on for the age group... chapters move between both their perspectives as they grow into the relationship, offering readers of both sexes a rather compelling example of the how-to’s of intimacy." —The Bulletin of The Center for Children’s Books

The Infinite Game


Book Description

Whether we are competing for a job, building a business or championing a good cause, some days it can feel as if we are trapped in an endless competition for status, wealth or attention. Maybe if we learn to play the game and follow the rules we’ll come out on top. But is life really a finite game – a game of selection and rules, winners and losers, players and spectators? In The Infinite Game, Niki Harré asks us to imagine our world anew. What if we are all part of a different type of game entirely – a game in which playing matters more than winning, a game that anyone can join at any time, a game in which rules evolve as new players turn up – an infinite game? Harré looks at our society (are people pawns or participants?) and ourselves (what kind of player would you like to be?) to offer an inspiring vision of how we might live well together. Deeply informed by psychological research and a life of social activism, Niki Harré’s provocative book teaches us all how we might live life as an infinite game.




You Are Infinite, You Are Eternal, You Are God


Book Description

"The key message in "You Are Infinite, You Are Eternal, You Are God" is the most important wisdom anyone will learn in this life. The surprise, for many, is that this message has been affirmed throughout human history by our greatest visionaries, and is clearly implicit in certain areas of modern science. Mark Ellison's book is an important challenge to the deadening views of modern materialism. The earlier one acquires this teaching, the richer and happier life becomes. That is why his effort to inform young adults is crucial."~ Larry Dossey, MDAuthor: ONE MIND: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters"This is the story of the Cosmos, which is the story of God, which is the story of you. It is a breathtakingly epic journey through time and space, into eternity and divinity. Ancient history tells us. Indigenous cultures tell us. Enlightened masters, spiritual gurus, and modern philosophers tell us. And now modern science is finally catching up. The New Story of Cosmology is the overwhelming scientific evidence, that confirms what we have always intuitively known ? that We Are All One ? that the entire cosmos is one inextricably interconnected, and indivisible whole. As one with this whole then, You are not separate ? from me, from God, or from any ?other part? of creation. You are not a tiny, mortal shell in a sterile lifeless void. You are creation. You are Life itself. You are quite literally the extraordinarily magnificent One Whole All There Is. Put simply, The New Story of Cosmology is the radical scientific assuredness that:You Are Infinite,You Are Eternal,You Are God.And more importantly, You Are Me.This realisation will change your world.
