Beyond order [large print] : 12 more rules for life / by Peterson, Jordan B.,author.(CARDINAL)352312;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 505-518) and index.Rule I. Do not carelessly denigrate social institutions or creative achievement -- Rule II. Imagine who you could be, and then aim single-mindedly at that -- Rule III. Do not hide unwanted things in the fog -- Rule IV. Notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated -- Rule V. Do not do what you hate -- Rule VI. Abandon ideology -- Rule VII.

Do not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful or arrogant -- Rule XII. Be grateful in spite of your suffering."The sequel to 12 Rules for Life offers further guidance along the perilous path of modern life. In 12 Rules for Life, clinical psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto Dr. Jordan B. Peterson helped millions impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers 12 more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes. In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life - from our social structures to our emotional states - Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. What's more, he offers strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific, and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, and teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even - and especially - when we find ourselves powerless. While chaos, in excess, threatens us with instability and anxiety, unchecked order can petrify us into submission. Beyond Order provides a call to balance these two fundamental principles of reality itself and guides us along the straight and narrow path that divides them" --

Field notes on the compassionate life : a search for the soul of kindness / by Barasch, Marc.(CARDINAL)136700;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 349-353) and index.The circles of compassion -- Roots, branches, and the clear blue sky -- Empathy : you in me, me in you -- Street retreat : the debt of love -- The good eye -- Heart science, heart's mystery -- The giveaway -- The altruist -- The elixir of forgiveness -- Loving the monster -- Another little peace of the heart -- The beloved community -- All my relations.Marc Ian Barasch, dubbed "one of today's coolest grown-ups" by Interview magazine, sets out on a journey to the heart of compassion. He discovers its power to change who we are and the society we have become. Compassion, he concludes, is "a prescription for authentic joy." Can tapping into one simple human trait, hardwired into our nervous system and just waiting to be awakened, transform our lives and the world at large? Could it help us enjoy new levels of happiness and contentment? Exploring his subject through the multiple lenses of psychology and biology, pop culture and theology, history and philosophy, Barasch weaves a stirring, unforgettable account of his search to find within himself and others: the ability to live compassionately. He examines such fascinating questions as: What can we learn from exceptionally empathetic people? Can we increase our kindness quotient with practice? How do we open our hearts to those who do us harm? What if the great driving force of our evolution were actually "survival of the kindest?" Drawing from influences as disparate as Buddhist monks and skeptical neuroscientists, Barasch creates a riveting, persuasive argument that a simple shift in consciousness can have a tremendous, lasting impact on our psyches, our relationships, our health--and the very fate of the Earth. An inspirational handbook interweaves insights from the diverse fields of theology, philosophy, history, psychology, biology, and pop culture to explore the need for each individual to discover the ability to live with compassion and kindness, arguing that a simple shift in consciousness will ahve a lasting impact on our relationships, health, lives, and the fate of the Earth.

Live inspired / by Staley, Laura,author.;
"Live Inspired reveals the brave and deep work of self-discovery, of the ability to look in the mirror to recognize the part of you that notices your thoughts, that senses your feelings, that can expand as an unshakeable observer, bear witness, and connect with other people. Through real life stories, poetry, and reflections, Laura Staley shares meaningful experiences of living awake, living true, living joyously, and living beyond as cornerstones to a personal and spiritual evolution. The shift from living life through worn out emotional reactions, limiting beliefs, and challenging interactions to a realization that you can connect with the wisdom in your broken opened heart becomes a transformation into a liberated and unrecognizable experience of being alive. To live inspired becomes a profound choice, a deep inhale, and a humble practice for a lifetime"--
