“The book that you hold in your hands is nothing short of a miracle.� —Desmond Tutu, from the Introduction

Notes to the Future is the definitive book of quotations from one of the great leaders of our time. This collection—gathered from privileged access to Mandela’s vast personal archive of private papers, speeches, correspondence, and audio recordings—features more than three hundred quotations spanning more than sixty years and includes his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.

These inspirational quotations, organized into four sections—Struggle, Victory, Wisdom, and Future—are both universal and deeply personal. We see Mandela’s sense of humor, his loneliness and despair, his thoughts on fatherhood, and the reluctant leader who had no choice but to become the man history demanded.

“A good pen can also remind us of the happiest moments in our lives, bring noble ideas into our dens, our blood and our souls. It can turn tragedy into hope and victory� (from a letter to Zindzi Mandela, written on Robben Island, February 10, 1980).]]> 192 Nelson Mandela 1451675399 فرشید 3 4.08 2012 Notes to the Future: Words of Wisdom

این ده ویژگی عبارتند از؛
1. تعهد
انسان‌ها� معمولي فقط هنگامي خودشان را به انجام كاري كه مي‌گوين� متعهد مي‌دانن� كه شرايط براي‌شا� مناسب باشد؛ اما اگر راستش را بخواهيد تعهد شرط و شروطي نمي‌شناس�... ضرب‌المثل� هست كه مي‌گوي�: «شما به اندازه‌� چيزي كه بر زبان مي‌آوري� خوب هستيد.» دوست دارم اين ضرب‌المث� را اين‌طو� تغيير بدهم كه «شما به اندازه تعهداتي كه به آن پاي‌بندي� خوب هستيد.»
2. مسئولیتِ شخصی
سامورايي‌ها� مهربان باور دارند كه اگر در زندگي به جايي رسيده‌ان�- يا به جايي نرسيده‌ان�- اين به طور مستقيم به انتخاب‌هاي‌شا� بستگي دارد... سامورايي‌ها� مهربان باور دارند كه زندگي مجموعه‌ا� است از انتخاب‌ها� مختلف كه خوشايند و ناخوشايندند. به منظور رهايي از اين ديدگاه كه ديگران مقصر مشكلات شما هستند، بايد مسئوليت انتخاب‌هاي‌تا� را در زندگي بپذيرید.
3. بخشش
سامورايي مهربان بدون فكر كردن به سود شخصي مي‌بخش�. اين به آن معني نيست كه در اين كار سودي وجود ندارد. شما هر چه را كه كاشته‌ايد� برداشت خواهيد كرد.
4. تمرکز
تمركز يعني توانايي جهت دادن به توجه، تلاش و فعاليت‌هاي‌تا� بدون اين‌ك� منحرف شويد. اين كيفيتي است كه مي‌توان� از شما يك سامورايي مهربان بسازد. سامورايي‌ها� مهربان بدون اين ويژگي در زندگي‌شا� موفق نخواهند بود. اگر بخواهم موفقيت را در يك جمله تعريف كنم، مي‌توان� بگويم: «موفقيت يعني توانايي منحرف و سرگردان نشدن در زندگي.» ممكن است اين تعريف ساده به نظر برسد، اما حقيقت دارد.
5. صداقت
ممكن است به نظرتان تكراري بيايد، اما صداقت بهترين سياست در زندگي است. حتي هنگامي‌ك� ممكن است دچار مشكل شويد، صداقت را انتخاب كنيد. صداقت پايه و اساس همه‌� روابط است. صداقت سوختي است كه باعث مي‌شو� روابط در مسير درست حركت كنند.
6. احترام
سامورايي مهربان هميشه به ديگران احترام مي‌گذارد� حتي هنگامي‌ك� با دشمنانش روبه‌روس�. در روزگار قديم وقتي سامورايي‌ه� دشمنان‌شا� را از پا در مي‌آورن� به آن‌ه� تعظيم مي‌كردن� و احترام مي‌گذاشتن�.
7. اعتماد
انسان‌ها� خردمند به همه به يك اندازه اعتماد نمي‌كنن�... اعتمادسازي زمان زيادي مي‌بر� و مي‌توان� در يك لحظه از ميان برود. آيا تا به حال دقت كرده‌اي� كه براي ساختن يك آسمان‌خرا� چقدر زمان صرف مي‌شود� ساختن يك آسمان‌خرا� ممكن است چند سال طول بكشد. به وجود آمدن اعتماد نيز به همين اندازه يا بيشتر زمان نياز دارد.
8. فراوانی
فراواني ديدگاهي است كه در آن تماميت و كمال‌تا� به شرايط بيروني وابسته نيست. كمبود ديدگاهي است كه در آن گمان مي‌كني� به اندازه‌� كافي وجود ندارد.
9. جسارت
براي يك سامورايي مهربان شهامت اجباري است. شهامت آيين سامورايي‌ها� مهربان است. آن‌ه� هميشه به دنبال موقعيت‌ه� و فرصت‌هاي� هستند كه شهامت‌شا� را نشان بدهند و خطر كنند. آن‌ه� در موقعيت‌ها� خطرناك عقب‌نشين� نمي‌كنند� بلكه اين موقعيت‌ه� را در آغوش مي‌گيرن�... البته اين به آن معنا نيست كه در زندگي‌شا� بي‌دق� و بي‌ملاحظ� هستند. سامورايي‌ها� مهربان براي زندگي‌شا� ارزش قائلند و با شدت هر چه تمام‌ت� زندگي مي‌كنن�.
10. دانش
هميشه ذهنيتِ تازه‌كاره� را داشته باشيد. اهميتي ندارد كه چه كسي هستيد يا چقدر مي‌دانيد� بدانيد كه هميشه چيزهايي تازه براي آموختن وجود دارد. اهميتي ندارد كه مدرك دانشگاهي‌تا� چيست... باور دارم دانش واقعي، دانشي است كه به ارزش شخصيت شما چيزي مي‌افزاي�.
اما اين سامورايي‌ه� كيستند؟ سامورایی‌ه� گروهی جنگجو در ژاپن بودند که در قرن 12 میلادی قدرت را به دست گرفتند. آنها بر اساس قوانینی سخت، خشک، جدی، دقیق و روشن� زندگی می‌کردن� و ارزش‌های� مثل شجاعت، غرور و وفاداری برای‌شا� مهم بود. کلمه‌� سامورایی اصلاً به معنای خدمت است و سامورايي‌ه� در واقع در خدمت مردم بودند؛ چيزي كه با تفكر رهبران و مديران عرصه‌� كسب‌وكا� در دوره‌ها� پيشين تفاوت داشت.
نسل قبلی رهبران و مدیران باور داشتند که هدف‌گرای� یکی از ویژگی‌ها� مهم و ضروری برای رسیدن به نتیجه است و حاضر بودند (و هستند) هر کاری را برای رسیدن به هدف‌های‌شا� انجام بدهند. این نسل از رهبران‌ـ‌مدیرا� باور دارند که برای رسیدن به نتیجه باید دیدگاهی خشک، همراه با جزم‌اندیش� داشت و معمولاً از انعطاف‌پذیر� فاصله‌� زیادی دارند. در مقابل این دسته از رهبران‌ـ‌مدیران� گروه دیگری از مردم عادی قرار دارند که به هیچ شکلی و در هیچ زمینه‌ا� منشأ تاثیر نیستند.
بسیاری به این گمانِ اشتباه پیش می‌رون� که باید میان این دو نگرش، یکی را انتخاب کنند و نمی‌دانن� که امکان ترکیب و هماهنگی این دو ویژگی به‌شکل� یکپارچه وجود دارد؛ به گونه‌ا� که با این ترکیب می‌توا� به تعادلی طلایی رسید. این ترکیب و این تعادل، مهارت‌های� تازه را در اختیار نسل جدیدی از رهبران‌ـ‌مدیرا� (بخوانید انسان‌ه�) قرار می‌ده� که اثرات و نشانه‌ها� آن در زندگی‌شا� ـ‌ب� صورت شخصی‌ـ و روی حیات سازمان‌ه� ـ‌ب� صورت حرفه‌ای‌ـ مشهود است.
کتاب‌ه� و شیوه‌ها� دیگر معمولاً درباره‌� این حرف می‌زنن� که هنگام رویارویی با فلان مشکل می‌توا� فلان راهکار آزموده‌شد� را به‌کا� برد؛ در حالی که هر مشکلی با توجه به شرایط زمانی و مختصات مربوط به خودش،� شکلی منحصر به فرد دارد. چنین رویکردی به این می‌مان� که با دیدن نشانه‌ها� بیماری سرماخوردگی، داروهای مشخص و ثابتی را که از پیش بسته‌بند� شده، برای بیمار تجویز کرد؛ بدون این‌ک� پزشکی او را معاینه کند و مشکلش را تشخیص بدهد.
هدف این کتاب پرورش ویژگی‌های� در شخصیت فرد یا سازمان است که می‌توا� با به‌كارگير� آنها برای هر مشکلی ـ‌ب� توجه به شرایط زمانی و مختصات مربوط به خودش‌ـ به شکلی خلاقانه راه‌حل� مناسب و کارگشا پیدا کرد.
مهارت هدفي است دست يافتني. مهارت يعني به كار بردن درست اين ويژگي‌ه� پس از تمرين مداوم. با دست يافتن به مهارت، هنوز هم براي يادگيري چيزهايي وجود دارد. هميشه مي‌تواني� دانش خود را در هر موضوعي بيشتر كنيد. هميشه مرحله‌ا� بالاتر وجود دارد. هرگز از دانشگاه زندگي فارغ‌التحصي� نمي‌شويد� بلكه پيوسته از يك مرحله به مرحله‌ا� بالاتر مي‌روي�.

]]> تائو ت چینگ 1941265 Tao Te Ching, the esoteric but infinitely practical book written most probably in the sixth century B.C. by Lao Tsu, has been translated more frequently than any work except the Bible. This translation of the Chinese classic, which was first published twenty-five years ago, has sold more copies than any of the others. It offers the essence of each word and makes Lao Tsu's teaching immediate and alive.

The philosophy of Lao Tsu is simple: Accept what is in front of you without wanting the situation to be other than it is. Study the natural order of things and work with it rather than against it, for to try to change what is only sets up resistance. Nature provides everything without requiring payment or thanks, and also provides for all without discrimination—therefore let us present the same face to everyone and treat all men as equals, however they may behave. If we watch carefully, we will see that work proceeds more quickly and easily if we stop "trying," if we stop putting in so much extra effort, if we stop looking for results. In the clarity of a still and open mind, truth will be reflected. We will come to appreciate the original meaning of the word "understand," which means "to stand under." We serve whatever or whoever stands before us, without any thought for ourselves. Te—which may be translated as "virtue" or "strength"—lies always in Tao, or" natural law. In other words: Simply be.]]> Lao Tzu فرشید 5 فرشید-قرمانی 4.67 -350 تائو ت چینگ

In The China Study, Dr. T. Colin Campbell details the connection between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The report also examines the source of nutritional confusion produced by powerful lobbies, government entities, and opportunistic scientists. The New York Times has recognized the study as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology� and the “most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease.�

The China Study is not a diet book. Dr. Campbell cuts through the haze of misinformation and delivers an insightful message to anyone living with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and those concerned with the effects of aging.]]> 419 T.

]]> The Art of Thinking Clearly 16248196
Have you ever:
� Invested time in something that, with hindsight, just wasn't worth it?
� Overpayed in an Ebay auction?
� Continued doing something you knew was bad for you?
� Sold stocks too late, or too early?
� Taken credit for success, but blamed failure on external circumstances?
� Backed the wrong horse?

These are examples of cognitive biases, simple errors we all make in our day-to-day thinking. But by knowing what they are and how to spot them, we can avoid them and make better choices-whether dealing with a personal problem or a business negotiation; trying to save money or make money; working out what we do or don't want in life: and how best to get it.

Simple, clear and always surprising, this indispensable book will change the way you think and transform your decision-making-work, at home, every day. It reveals, in 99 short chapters, the most common errors of judgment, and how to avoid them.]]> 384 Rolf Dobelli 0062219685 فرشید 4 3.83 2011 The Art of Thinking Clearly

Bittman offers a no-nonsense rundown on how government policy, big business marketing, and global economics influence what we choose to put on the table each evening. He demystifies buzzwords like "organic," "sustainable," and "local" and offers straightforward, budget-conscious advice that will help you make small changes that will shrink your carbon footprint -- and your waistline.

Flexible, simple, and non-doctrinaire, the plan is based on hard science but gives you plenty of leeway to tailor your food choices to your lifestyle, schedule, and level of commitment. Bittman, a food writer who loves to eat and eats out frequently, lost thirty-five pounds and saw marked improvement in his blood levels by simply cutting meat and processed foods out of two of his three daily meals. But the simple truth, as he points out, is that as long as you eat more vegetables and whole grains, the result will be better health for you and for the world in which we live.

Unlike most things that are virtuous and healthful, Bittman's plan doesn't involve sacrifice. From Spinach and Sweet Potato Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing to Breakfast Bread Pudding, the recipes in Food Matters are flavorful and sophisticated. A month's worth of meal plans shows you how Bittman chooses to eat and offers proof of how satisfying a mindful and responsible diet can be. Cheaper, healthier, and socially sound, "Food Matters" represents the future of American eating.]]> 336 Mark Bittman 1416575642 فرشید 0 to-read 3.97 2008 Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating with More Than 75 Recipes

]]> Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings 313973
Chuang Tzu (369?-286? B.C.) was a leading philosopher representing the Taoist strain in Chinese thought. Using parable and anecdote, allegory and paradox, he set forth, in the book that bears his name, the early ideas of what was to become the Taoist school. Central to these is the belief that only by understanding Tao (the Way of Nature) and dwelling in its unity can man achieve true happiness and freedom, in both life and death.

Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings includes the seven "inner chapters," which form the heart of the book, three of the "outer chapters," and one of the "miscellaneous chapters." Watson also provides an introduction, placing the philosopher in relation to Chinese history and thought.

Witty and imaginative, enriched by brilliant imagery, and making sportive use of both mythological and historical personages (including even Confucius), this timeless classic is sure to appeal to anyone interested in Chinese religion and culture.]]> 160 Zhuangzi 0231105959 فرشید 0 to-read 4.28 -350 Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings

]]> <![CDATA[Confession of a Buddhist Atheist]]> 6957758
Stephen Batchelor grew up outside London and came of age in the 1960s. Like other seekers of his time, instead of going to college he set off to explore the world. Settling in India, he eventually became a Buddhist monk in Dharamsala, the Tibetan capital-in-exile, and entered the inner circle of monks around the Dalai Lama. He later moved to a monastery in South Korea to pursue intensive training in Zen Buddhism. Yet the more Batchelor read about the Buddha, the more he came to believe that the way Buddhism was being taught and practiced was at odds with the actual teachings of the Buddha himself.

Charting his journey from hippie to monk to lay practitioner, teacher, and interpreter of Buddhist thought, Batchelor reconstructs the historical Buddha’s life, locating him within the social and political context of his world. In examining the ancient texts of the Pali Canon, the earliest record of the Buddha’s life and teachings, Batchelor argues that the Buddha was a man who looked at human life in a radically new way for his time, more interested in the question of how human beings should live in this world than in notions of karma and the afterlife. According to Batchelor, the outlook of the Buddha was far removed from the piety and religiosity that has come to define much of Buddhism as we know it today.

Both controversial and deeply personal, Confession of a Buddhist Atheist is a fascinating exploration of a religion that continues to engage the West. Batchelor’s insightful, deeply knowledgeable, and persuasive account will be an essential book for anyone interested in Buddhism.

]]> <![CDATA[My Spiritual Journey: A Riveting Life Story and Intimate Portrait of the Dalai Lama, Exploring Tibetan Buddhism, Meditation, and the Quest for a Richer Spiritual Life]]> 7980569
We have read about his near escape from Tibet after the Chinese invasion, his Nobel Peace Prize, and his friendships with world leaders, Hollywood actors, and scientists around the world. But what are his inner, personal thoughts on his own spiritual life? For the first time and in his own words, the Dalai Lama charts his spiritual journey from his boyhood days in rural Tibet to his years as a monk in the capital city of Dharamsala, to his life in exile as a world leader and symbol of peace.

My Spiritual Journey provides a vivid and moving portrait of the Dalai Lama’s life journey that is personal in tone but universal in scope. He explores three phases or commitments of his spiritual life � as a human being, as a Buddhist monk, and as the Dalai Lama � each of which has made him more dedicated to exploring and teaching human values and inner happiness, promoting harmony among all religions, and advocating for the civil rights and well-being of the Tibetan people.

At the age of two, little Tenzin Gyatso was identified as the fourteenth incarnation of the first Dalai Lama. From then on, his life has been a trajectory few can imagine. Some see him as a living Buddha and moral authority, others identify him as a “god-king,� which still others see him in political terms as either a hero or a counterrevolutionary. In My Spiritual Journey, we see the personal struggles, the courage, the laughter, and the compassion that have defined the remarkable life of one of our world’s greatest living legends.]]> 284 Dalai Lama XIV 0061960225 فرشید 0 to-read 3.93 2009 My Spiritual Journey: A Riveting Life Story and Intimate Portrait of the Dalai Lama, Exploring Tibetan Buddhism, Meditation, and the Quest for a Richer Spiritual Life

Simple, warm, direct, and startlingly potent, this book reveals the heart of the Buddhist path and helps us to reconnect with the joy and wonder of being alive, regardless of life’s changing circumstances.

Praise for Thich Nhat Hanh

]]> Aleph 9086994
Num tom franco e extremamente pessoal, Paulo Coelho relata sua incrível jornada de autodescoberta. Como o pastor Santiago de seu grande sucesso O alquimista, o escritor vive uma grave crise de fé. À procura de um caminho de renovação e crescimento espiritual, ele resolve começar tudo de novo: viajar, experimentar, se reconectar às pessoas e ao mundo.

Ao embarcar para a África, depois para a Europa e, por fim, cruzar a Ásia pela ferrovia transiberiana, Paulo busca revitalizar sua energia e sua paixão. Mas nem pode imaginar que surpresa essa peregrinação lhe reserva.

Ele conhece Hilal, uma jovem e talentosa violinista, e descobre que ela foi sua grande paixão numa vida passada, mas que ele a traiu de maneira tão covarde que, mesmo 500 anos depois, isso o impede de ser feliz. Juntos, os dois se lançam numa viagem pelo tempo e o espaço, abrindo-se para o amor, o perdão e a coragem de enfrentar os desafios da vida.]]> 256 Paulo Coelho 8575425773 فرشید 3 3.41 2010 Aleph

]]> The Husband 16429
"So, we have your wife. You can get her back for 2 million cash."

Landscape gardener Mitchell Rafferty thinks it must be some kind of a joke. He was busy planting flower beds for one of his clients when his phone rang. Now he’s standing in a normal suburban neighborhood on a bright summer day having a phone conversation out of his darkest nightmare.

Whoever is on the other end of the line is dead serious. "See that guy across the street?" Rifle fire shatters the stillness as the man goes down, shot in the head. "An object lesson."

The caller doesn’t care that Mitch has no way of raising such a vast sum. He’s confident that Mitch will find a way. If he loves his wife enough.

Mitch does love her enough. He’s got sixty hours to prove it. He’ll pay anything. He’ll pay a lot more. than two million dollars.

From the master storyteller comes a story of love, tenacity and courage with the pace of a runaway train, "The Husband" is a thriller that holds the reader in its relentless grip from its tense opening to its shattering climax.]]> 322 Dean Koontz 0553804790 فرشید 3 3.82 2006 The Husband

]]> Sex Matters 97004
Sex Matters begins by deconstructing the layers of sexual repression that the condemnation of sex has inflicted on human. Throughout Sex Matters - in response to questions about everything from jealousy to premature ejaculation, the role of intimacy and the differences between men and women - Osho proposes a vision that embraces sex as a fundamental gift from nature. We learn how orgasm offers a glimpse of timelessness, thoughtlessness, and pure awareness -- biology's way of pointing toward the consciousness that helps us to understand ourselves.

Finally, we are presented with a clear choice: a repressed sexuality that leads to pornography, perversion, and a stunted humanity or a playful, respectful, and relaxed innocence that supports us in becoming fulfilled and whole, as nature intended.]]> 336 Osho 0312316305 فرشید 5 4.11 1969 Sex Matters

At a tender age, she becomes convinced that she will never find true love, instead believing that “love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer. . . .� A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune.

Maria’s despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness—sexual pleasure for its own sake—or risking everything to find her own “inner light� and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love.]]> 273 Paulo Coelho 0060589280 فرشید 3 3.74 2003 Eleven Minutes

]]> We Are Water 17349023 In middle age, Annie Oh—wife, mother, and outsider artist—has shaken her family to its core. After twenty-seven years of marriage and three children, Annie has fallen in love with Viveca, the wealthy, cultured, confident Manhattan art dealer who orchestrated her professional success.

Annie and Viveca plan to wed in the Oh family's hometown of Three Rivers, Connecticut, where gay marriage has recently been legalized. But the impending wedding provokes some very mixed reactions and opens a Pandora's box of toxic secrets—dark and painful truths that have festered below the surface of the Ohs' lives.

We Are Water is an intricate and layered portrait of marriage, family, and the inexorable need for understanding and connection, told in the alternating voices of the Ohs—nonconformist Annie; her ex-husband, Orion, a psychologist; Ariane, the do-gooder daughter, and her twin, Andrew, the rebellious only son; and free-spirited Marissa, the youngest Oh. Set in New England and New York during the first years of the Obama presidency, it is also a portrait of modern America, exploring issues of class, changing social mores, the legacy of racial violence, and the nature of creativity and art.

With humor and breathtaking compassion, Wally Lamb brilliantly captures the essence of human experience in vivid and unforgettable characters struggling to find hope and redemption in the aftermath of trauma and loss. We Are Water is vintage Wally Lamb—a compulsively readable, generous, and uplifting masterpiece that digs deep into the complexities of the human heart to explore the ways in which we search for love and meaning in our lives.]]> 561 Wally Lamb 0061941026 فرشید 5 3.79 2013 We Are Water

]]> <![CDATA[The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business]]> 12609433
Marketers at Procter & Gamble study videos of people making their beds. They are desperately trying to figure out how to sell a new product called Febreze, on track to be one of the biggest flops in company history. Suddenly, one of them detects a nearly imperceptible pattern—and with a slight shift in advertising, Febreze goes on to earn a billion dollars a year.

An untested CEO takes over one of the largest companies in America. His first order of business is attacking a single pattern among his employees—how they approach worker safety—and soon the firm, Alcoa, becomes the top performer in the Dow Jones.

What do all these people have in common? They achieved success by focusing on the patterns that shape every aspect of our lives.

They succeeded by transforming habits.

In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.

Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation’s largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death.

At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work.

Habits aren’t destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.]]> 375 Charles Duhigg 1400069289 فرشید 4 4.13 2012 The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

You, too, are a field of energy.4. Whatever you focus on expands. 5. Your connection to the field provides accurate and unlimited guidance.6. Your thoughts and consciousness impact matter.7.

No Easy Day puts readers alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the twenty-four-man team as they train for the biggest mission of their lives. The blow-by-blow narrative of the assault, beginning with the helicopter crash that could have ended Owen's life straight through to the radio call confirming Bin Laden’s death, is an essential piece of modern history.

In No Easy Day, Owen also takes readers onto the field of battle in America's ongoing War on Terror and details the selection and training process for one of the most elite units in the military. Owen's story draws on his youth in Alaska and describes the SEALs' quest to challenge themselves at the highest levels of physical and mental endurance. With boots-on-the-ground detail, Owen describes numerous previously unreported missions that illustrate the life and work of a SEAL and the evolution of the team after the events of September 11. In telling the true story of the SEALs whose talents, skills, experiences, and exceptional sacrifices led to one of the greatest victories in the War on Terror, Mark Owen honors the men who risk everything for our country, and he leaves readers with a deep understanding of the warriors who keep America safe.]]> 316 Mark Owen 0525953728 فرشید 4 4.00 2012 No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden

—Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me

“Do you remember the hospital, Colton?� Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,� he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.�

When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren’t expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed—a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy’s trip to heaven and back.

Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery–and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read.

With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big� God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.�

Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child.]]> 162 Todd Burpo 0849946158 فرشید 0 4.03 2010 Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a “wonderful� husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical—most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver.

Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent—and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. Don's Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie—and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper.

The Rosie Project is a moving and hilarious novel for anyone who has ever tenaciously gone after life or love in the face of overwhelming challenges.]]> 324 Graeme Simsion 1443422665 فرشید 4 3.96 2013 The Rosie Project

Loved the book. Funny! Most of us have had people like the main character of the book in our lives.
]]> S. 17860739 One book. Two readers. A world of mystery, menace, and desire.

A young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin notes, which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious author. She responds with notes of her own, leaving the book for the stranger, and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown.

THE BOOK: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V. M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.

THE WRITER: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world’s greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumours that swirl around him.

THE READERS: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they’re willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears.

S. , conceived by filmmaker J. J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst, is the chronicle of two readers finding each other in the margins of a book and enmeshing themselves in a deadly struggle between forces they don’t understand. It is also Abrams and Dorst’s love letter to the written word.

]]> Archetypes: Who Are You? 15813899
In Archetypes, New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss delves into the world of archetypes, which have been the subject of her work for more than 25 years. Archetypes are universal patterns of behavior that, once discovered, help you better understand yourself and your place in the world. In short, knowing your archetypes can transform your life.

Within the pages of this book, Myss writes about ten primary archetypes that have emerged in today’s society: the Caregiver, the Artist/Creative, the Fashionista, the Intellectual, the Rebel, the Queen/Executive, the Advocate, the Visionary, the Athlete, and the Spiritual Seeker. In each chapter, she explains one individual archetype, showing how it has evolved and then in fascinating detail lays out the unique characteristics, the defining graces, the life challenges, and other information to help you understand if you are part of this archetype family and if so, how you can fully tap into its power. She also offers tips and practical advice on how to fully engage with your archetypes.

Learning which archetypes best describe you is just the beginning. You can then use this knowledge to make more conscious decisions about everything from careers to relationships, avoiding common pitfalls of your personality type while playing up your strengths. The result is a happier, more authentic you. It’s never too late to change your life by embracing your archetypes to the fullest.

So are you a Rebel? An Artist? A Visionary? Join us . . . and find yourself.]]> 247 Caroline Myss 1401941087 فرشید 4 3.37 2013 Archetypes: Who Are You?

]]> <![CDATA[Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail]]> 12262741 An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here

At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State � and she would do it alone.

Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.]]> 336 Cheryl Strayed 0307592731 فرشید 0 4.06 2012 Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

]]> جملات 17885033 "Hold a problem in your mind. Open this book to any page, and there will be your answer."

A Guide for the Advanced Soul is a book of divination, which gives guidance and insight in times of indecision and crisis, and creates reflection on ones experience. It works on the principal of synchronicity: the reader focuses on a problem or challenge, and then opens at random to 488 inspiring quotes from the great writers, thinkers, and leaders of our time.

In using The Guide, one's subconscious mind is attuned to interpret any quotation, as containing a message of insight. By repeating this ritual of posing thoughtful questions to The Guide, and opening it at random, the user develops a connection to their Inner Voice, and a trust in their intuition to lead them to their highest possibility.

Reviews

"Sometimes we just need to hear the voice of a higher power. This book always opens to the right page to help us see what we've missed and allow us to make choices from wisdom and reflection verses reaction. And in those odd situations where we don't know, this book offers insights to give us peace. A book that connects us to spiritual insight and brings magic and mystery back to ordinary living." - Teresa Caro

"This book is a little gem and can be used exactly as suggested on the cover: 'Hold a problem in your mind open this book to any page your answer will be there!' This is not the kind of book one reads from cover to cover, rather it should be an event driven read. I keep my copy on my night stand for convenient reference. It is kind of like that friend who listens to you fret and gives you a pop of insight at the right moment."]]> 200 Susan Hayward 9649662383 فرشید 5 این‌ک� چه اتفاقی رخ می¬دهد، اهمیت چندانی ندارد؛

]]> <![CDATA[May I Be Happy: A Memoir of Love, Yoga, and Changing My Mind]]> 15806963
For all her wisdom as a teacher, Cyndi Lee—founder of New York’s world renowned OM yoga Center—understood intuitively that she still had a lot to learn. In spite of her success in physically demanding professions—dancer, choreographer, and yoga teacher—Lee was caught in a lifelong cycle of repetitive self-judgment about her body. Instead of the radical contentment expected in international yoga teachers, she realized that hating her body was a form of suffering, which was infecting her closest relationships—including her relationship to herself.

Inspired by the honesty and vulnerability of her students, Lee embarked on a journey of self-discovery that led her outward—from the sacred sites of the parched Indian countryside to the center of the 2011 earthquake in Japan—and inward, to seek the counsel of wise women, friends and strangers both. Applying the ancient Buddhist practice of loving-kindness meditation to herself, Lee learned that compassion is the only antidote to hatred, thereby healing her heart and changing her mind.

With prose as agile as the yoga sequences she creates, May I Be Happy gives voice to Lee’s belief that every life arises, abides, and ultimately dissolves. By becoming her own best student, Lee internalizes the strength, stability, and clarity she imparts in her Buddhist-inspired yoga classes.]]> 272 Cyndi Lee 0525953841 فرشید 0 to-read 3.14 2013 May I Be Happy: A Memoir of Love, Yoga, and Changing My Mind

Joe Vitale was once homeless. Now, he's the millionaire author of numerous bestselling books, an Internet celebrity, and an in-demand online marketing guru. What did he do to create all of that success? Was it hard work, divine providence, or both? The answer is surprising. It wasn't until he discovered the ancient Hawaiian Ho'oponopono system that he finally found truly unlimited success.

Updated for modern times, Ho'oponopono is a self-help methodology that removes the mental obstacles that block a listener's path, freeing his mind to find new and unexpected ways to get what he wants out of life. It works wonders both professionally and personally. It works so well in fact, that Vitale had to share it with the world, so that others could experience the fulfillment and happiness he feels every day.

Teaming up with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, master teacher of modern Ho'oponopono, Vitale tells the listener how to attain wealth, health, peace, and happiness. They walk him through the system, helping him clear his mind of subconscious blocks so that destiny and desire can take over and help him get what he truly wants from life. It clears out unconsciously accepted beliefs, thoughts, and memories that he doesn't even know are holding him back.]]> 256 Joe Vitale 0470101474 فرشید 5 3.99 2007 Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More

World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. For him a ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to “mindfulness”—the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now.

Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh’s experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is—in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking a part—and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices. The deceptively simple practices of Peace Is Every Step encourage the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the “mindless� into the mindFUL.]]> 134 Thich Nhat Hanh 0553351397 فرشید 5 4.32 1992 Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

With a fresh translation of these ancient texts, and unique Osho insights into the modern mind and its psychology, Patanjali comes to life on the pages with an approach to using yoga for greater self-understanding that is absolutely relevant to our times.

]]> <![CDATA[Spiritual Solutions: Answers to Life's Greatest Challenges]]> 13134280 Life is full of challenges, both big and small. Spirituality is here to offer solutions.

Over the course of his career as physician, teacher, and bestselling author, Deepak Chopra has received thousands of questions from people facing every kind of challenge. They have asked how to lead more fulfilling lives, how to overcome relationship problems and personal obstacles. What’s the best way to deal with a passive-aggressive friend? Can a stagnant career be jump-started? In a world full of distractions and stress, how does one find time for meditation?

Hidden among all of these questions are answers waiting to be uncovered.

In this groundbreaking book, Chopra shows you how to expand your awareness, which is the key to the confusion and conflict we all face. “The secret is that the level of the problem is never the level of the solution,� he writes. By rising to the level of the solution in your own awareness, you can transform obstacles into opportunities. Chopra leads the reader to what he calls “the true self,� where peace, clarity, and wisdom serve as guides in times of crisis. For Chopra, spirituality is primarily about consciousness, not about religious dogma or relying on the conventional notion of God. “There is no greater power for success and personal growth than your own awareness.� With practical insight, Spiritual Solutions provides the tools and strategies to enable you to meet life’s challenges from within and to experience a sense of genuine fulfillment and purpose.]]> 204 Deepak Chopra 0307877728 فرشید 4 3.69 Spiritual Solutions: Answers to Life's Greatest Challenges

]]> <![CDATA[The Soul of Leadership: Unlocking Your Potential for Greatness]]> 9402853
Bestselling author and spiritual guide Deepak Chopra invites you to become the kind of leader most needed a leader with vision who can make that vision real. Chopra has been teaching leadership to CEOs and other top executives for eight years, and the path outlined in The Soul of Leadership applies to any business, but the same principles are relevant in every community and area of life, from family and home to school, place of worship, and neighborhood. “At the deepest level,� Chopra writes, “a leader is the symbolic soul of a group.�

With clear, practical steps, you are led through the crucial skills outlined in the acronym
L = Look and Listen
E = Emotional Bonding
A = Awareness
D = Doing
E = Empowerment
R = Responsibility
S = Synchronicity

After identifying your own soul profile and the core values you want to develop, you can use these seven skills to allow your potential for greatness to emerge. Only from the level of the soul, Chopra contends, are great leaders created. Once that connection is made, you have unlimited access to the most vital qualities a leader can creativity, intelligence, organizing power, and love.

The Soul of Leadership aims to fill the most critical void in contemporary life, the void of enlightened leaders. “You can be such a leader,� Chopra promises. “The path is open to you. The only requirement is that you learn to listen to your inner guide.� In this unique handbook you are shown how to do just that, in words as practical as they are uplifting. The future is unfolding at this very minute, and the choice to lead it lies with each of us, here and now.]]> 224 Deepak Chopra 030740806X فرشید 4 3.83 The Soul of Leadership: Unlocking Your Potential for Greatness

]]> The Love Poems of Rumi 67377




'These poems reflect the deepest longings of the human heart as it searches for the divine. They celebrate love. Each poetic whisper is urgent, expressing the desire that penetrates human relationships and inspires intimacy with the self, silently nurturing an affinity for the Beloved. Both Fereydoun Kia, the translator, and I hope that you will share the experience of ravishing ecstasy that the poems of Rumi evoked in us. In this volume we have sought to capture in English the dreams, wishes, hopes, desires, and feelings of a Persian poet who continues to amaze, bewilder, confound, and teach, one thousand years after he walked on this earth' - Deepak Chopra]]> 64 Deepak Chopra 0712670408 فرشید 4 4.29 1273 The Love Poems of Rumi
