The book : on the taboo against knowing who you are / by Watts, Alan,1915-1973,author.(CARDINAL)149205;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 161-163).In The Book, Alan Watts provides us with a much-needed answer to the problem of personal identity, distilling and adapting the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta. At the root of human conflict is our fundamental misunderstanding of who we are. The illusion that we are isolated beings, unconnected to the rest of the universe, has led us to view the "outside" world with hostility, and has fueled our misuse of technology and our violent and hostile subjugation of the natural world. To help us understand that the self is in fact the root and ground of the universe, Watts has crafted a revelatory primer on what it means to be human--and a mind-opening manual of initiation into the central mystery of existence.--

Do you understand who you really are? Or how others really see you? We all know people with a stunning lack of self-awareness--but how often do we consider whether we might have the same problem? Research shows that self-awareness is the meta-skill of the 21st century--the foundation for high performance, smart choices, and lasting relationships. Unfortunately, we are remarkably poor judges of ourselves and how we come across, and it's rare to get candid, objective feedback from colleagues, employees, and even friends and family. Integrating hundreds of studies with her own research and work in the Fortune 500 world, organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich shatters conventional assumptions about what it takes to truly know ourselves--like why introspection isn't a bullet train to insight, how experience is the enemy of self-knowledge, and just how far others will go to avoid telling us the truth about ourselves. Through stories of people who've made dramatic gains in self-awareness, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help readers do the same - and therefore improve their work performance, career satisfaction, leadership potential, relationships, and more"--Provided by publisher.Research shows that self-awareness--knowing who we are and how others see us--is the foundation for strong leadership, smart choices, and lasting relationships. Without it, it's almost impossible to master the skills most critical for career and business success today. Yet most of us don't see ourselves as clearly as we could, and it's rare to get candid feedack about what we're doing well, and where we could stand to improve.

Body becoming : a path to our liberation / by Henderson-Espinoza, Robyn,author.;
Prólogo -- (Rupture). What is a body? -- Whose bodies count? -- (Becoming). Becoming body -- Bodies and embodiment -- (Difference). The journey to becoming embodied -- Bodies, violence, and embodiment -- Mind, body, skin, scars -- (Repetition). The healing power of somatics -- The politics of bodies in motion -- Embodiment as a vision for democracy -- Epílogo -- A more perfect union: stories of embodiment in community -- Reflection and somatic offering."The body that Robyn Henderson-Espinoza inhabits is a nonbinary body, a trans body, a body in two races--and a body continually in discovery. Theirs is also a body on sojourn invested in experience, body understanding, and engagement in and for human thriving. Henderson-Espinoza relates coming into a new body story, beginning with the deep emotional work of connecting the abstract intelligence of their mind with their body's intelligence, to explore the relationship between living and becoming, doing and listening. Combining that deep listening and living with their work in activism, Body Becoming offers us a way of understanding the body beyond constructions--political or medical-industrial-complex defined--toward cultivating the body as important in our endeavors to build a more inclusive vision for democracy. Mixing memoir and faith, somatics theory and body practice, Henderson-Espinoza steers us through territory both familiar and difficult--as we discover embodiment as the primary place of deep wisdom, where culture shifts originate and materialize--and a better world becomes, as we too become."--Amazon.
