Everyone wants to live a long time, but no one wants to grow old. Zen and the Art of Retirement was written by a retired man, for retired men. Applying humor to his personal retirement experiences, Dr. Louis Gonzales challenges male assumptions about aging and retirement through integrating his streetwise version of Zen Buddhism with a frugal philosophy for living an untroubled retirement lifestyle. With his tongue in cheek and plain-speaking manner, Dr. Gonzales demonstrates that an active and satisfying retirement goes beyond having sufficient financial resources and that retirement can really be the beginning of renewed life, not the end. Zen and the Art of Retirement provokes the inner realization of the truth and demonstrates that this new stage of life now has only two measurements of time: Now and the rest of your life. Through the integration of Zen philosophy and over 100 tips for living a frugal lifestyle, Dr. Gonzales lays out a roadmap for reawakening a man's drive to begin implementing healthier (and natural) preventive measures that can generate a more positive attitude, prolong youth, while still enjoying life on a limited income. In Zen and the Art of Retirement you will discover: . How to lay a solid foundation for retiring happy. . How to redefine yourself. . The art of letting go. . How to live retirement life with purpose. . That less is more. . How to live a frugalista lifestyle and have fun with it. . Over one hundred frugal tips for surviving in tough economic times. How are you using your time? What do you want to do next? What are you willing to commit to for the rest of your life? If you still haven't found the answers, this book is for you.

*The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.

A “straightforward, simple, and wise” guide to living an awakened life through mindfulness and meditation (Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart) We can use whatever life presents to strengthen our spiritual practice—including the turmoil of daily life. What we need is the willingness to just be with our experiences—whether they are painful or pleasing—and open ourselves to the reality of our lives without trying to fix or change anything. But doing this requires that we confront our most deeply rooted fears and assumptions in order to gradually become free of the constrictions and suffering they create. Then we can awaken to the loving-kindness that is at the heart of our being. While many books aspire to bring meditation into everyday experience, Ezra Bayda's Being Zen gives us practical ways to actually do it, introducing techniques that enable the reader to foster qualities essential to continued spiritual awakening. Topics include how to cultivate: • Perseverance: staying with anger, fear, and other distressing emotions. • Stillness: abiding with chaotic experiences without becoming overwhelmed. • Clarity: seeing through the conditioned beliefs and fears that "run" us. • Direct experience: encountering the physical reality of the present moment—even when that moment is exactly where we don't want to be. Like Pema Chödrön, the best-selling author of When Things Fall Apart, Ezra Bayda writes with clear, heartfelt simplicity, using his own life stories to illustrate the teachings in an immediate and accessible way that will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers.
