Zen and the Art of Retirement


Book Description

Everyone wants to live a long time, but no one wants to get old. Gonzo Rajneesh (nom de plume) is a retired educator and Life Coach. As a former CEO of several non-profit urban organizations in the West and Midwest, he left the corporate world in 1996 and as a freshly-minted retiree began developing retirement strategies for men (and women with balls) transitioning to retirement on how to get the most they can out of life in a highly technological world and an economy that is circling the toilet bowl. Gonzo uses his direct, tongue-in-cheek, streetwise Zen style of "It is what it is," and his karmic "Shit happens" in challenging male assumptions about aging and helping you discover who you really are and where you want to go next in your last one-third of your life. Gonzo Rajneesh has a knack for saying wise things in humorous ways. Men, especially, are especially challenged in getting their new adventure in order and Zen and the Art of Retirement does just that. You will find this little book, helpful, fun, and funny. Buy this book as a gift for your guy or for yourself. This is your final boarding call and this new adventure requires only one carry-on bag. Toss that remote into the dumpster, close that laptop, and get off that couch. This is your final boarding call.

Zen and the Art of Retirement


Book Description

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.

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.

The Buddha in the Machine


Book Description

The writers and artists described in this book are joined by a desire to embrace 'Eastern' aesthetics as a means of redeeming 'Western' technoculture. The assumption they all share is that at the core of modern Western culture there lies an originary and all-encompassing philosophical error - and that Asian art offers a way out of that awful matrix. That desire, this book attempts to demonstrate, has informed Anglo- and even Asian-American debates about technology and art since the late nineteenth century and continues to skew our responses to our own technocultural environment.

Zen and the Art of Wealth


Book Description

Zen and the Art of Wealth explains the essence of Zen as two friends chat while building a drystone wall.

In a similar way in this book we examine investing strategies and reject ideas based on flawed assumptions.




Zen and the Brain


Book Description

A neuroscientist and Zen practitioner interweaves the latest research on the brain with his personal narrative of Zen. Aldous Huxley called humankind's basic trend toward spiritual growth the "perennial philosophy." In the view of James Austin, the trend implies a "perennial psychophysiology"—because awakening, or enlightenment, occurs only when the human brain undergoes substantial changes. What are the peak experiences of enlightenment? How could these states profoundly enhance, and yet simplify, the workings of the brain? Zen and the Brain presents the latest evidence. In this book Zen Buddhism becomes the opening wedge for an extraordinarily wide-ranging exploration of consciousness. In order to understand which brain mechanisms produce Zen states, one needs some understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the brain. Austin, both a neurologist and a Zen practitioner, interweaves the most recent brain research with the personal narrative of his Zen experiences. The science is both inclusive and rigorous; the Zen sections are clear and evocative. Along the way, Austin examines such topics as similar states in other disciplines and religions, sleep and dreams, mental illness, consciousness-altering drugs, and the social consequences of the advanced stage of ongoing enlightenment.
