  It’s time we start looking at career success differently. 
  Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry. 
  But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?  
  With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.  
  You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater. 
  If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!

  What if the greatest freedom in life comes not from becoming more… but from becoming less? 
  Less fear. 
  Less attachment. 
  Less need to defend the fragile idea of "me." 
  In No-Self, Full Life, Ho Trung Le invites readers on a profound yet practical journey into one of the oldest and most transformative insights of Eastern wisdom: the understanding of no-self. 
  Blending Buddhist philosophy, modern psychology, personal reflection, and everyday humor, this book explores how the illusion of a fixed self creates suffering—and how letting go of that illusion opens the door to peace, clarity, love, and freedom. 
  This is not a book about disappearing from life. 
  It is about finally living it fully. 
  Inside, you will discover: 
  • Why the "self" feels so real—and why it may be the source of most anxiety 
  • How attachment, fear, anger, and comparison grow from ego-identification 
  • The relationship between no-self, mindfulness, karma, and awakening 
  • How to love deeply without possession 
  • How to succeed without being trapped by success 
  • Why enlightenment is not escape, but intimacy with reality 
  With gentle insight, philosophical depth, and accessible storytelling, No-Self, Full Life offers a way to live with more presence and less suffering—without needing to withdraw from the modern world. 
  Whether you are a spiritual seeker, a philosopher, a meditator, or simply someone tired of carrying the weight of constant mental noise, this book is an invitation: 
  Let go of who you think you are. 
  And discover the freedom of what remains. 
  Because sometimes, the fullest life begins 
  when the self becomes light enough to disappear.

  Brain injuries can result in highly specific and surprising changes in behavior that have revealed to us how the mind works.The brain is the most complicated object in the known universe. After spending millennia trying to understand our ever-changing world, the brain is now turning its capacities for reasoning, remembering, and understanding inward, as it tries to understand itself.The biggest breakthroughs in neuroscience have come mostly by accident. These accidents didn't happen in research labs. They happened on railway job sites, in showers, on bicycles, in cars or were the result of infections from uncommon diseases.When an individual suffers brain damage as the result of an accident or illness, the negative effects can be profound—life altering and lifelong—yet the insights offered by the effects of these injuries have been revolutionary for neuroscientists. Through an examination of landmark cases of traumatic brain injury, Dr. Lorin J. Elias explains how each case has expanded our understanding of the mind.

  WHAT DIFFERENCE CAN A DOG MAKE? 
  I was about to find out. For two decades, my life was a cesspool of codependency. Fear consumed me. Life wasn’t worth living. I’d “rescued” the two addicts in my life—one an alcoholic, another a crack addict. Then a puppy I’d foolishly gifted to my crack addict became “my” puppy when I learned it was destined to be traded for crack. I wholeheartedly resented the puppy because the damned thing was always happy, and I was always sad. As a way out of my spiraling life, I attempted suicide one night. I awakened in the morning to kids knocking on my camper door, wanting to play with the puppy. Fifteen minutes later, the puppy screamed in pain. I just knew he’d been hit by a car, likely dying, because everything in life was bad. I opened the camper door, expecting the worst, but the puppy had simply run into a parked car and hurt his paw. The puppy was crying, the kids were crying, and then I too began to cry … uncontrollably. 
  Suddenly, the puppy and I were one, both in pain. An epiphany…a Helen Keller-like breakthrough that changed my life forever. I suddenly realized he’d tried to bring healthy people into my life, breaking the chains of codependency. I slept with that puppy in my arms for three days. Upon awakening, I looked deeply into his eyes, and promised him I’d share him with the world. 
  That puppy, my Booster, saved my life … twice! In My Booster, international service dog advocate and author Davis Hawn lays bare his life in the incredible story of Booster. Engaging, enlightening, hilariously funny and heartbreaking at the same time, their story shows the true power of the canine-human bond.
