  Norse mythology is a rich tapestry of tales, beliefs, and traditions that played a crucial role in the cultural, social, and spiritual life of the Norse people. Emerging from the ancient Scandinavian regions, Norse mythology provides insights into how the Norse viewed the world, their gods, and their place in the cosmos. This mythology is not only a collection of stories but also a reflection of the values, beliefs, and practices that defined the Norse way of life.  
    
  In Norse culture, mythology served multiple functions. It provided explanations for natural phenomena, such as thunder, lightning, and the changing seasons. For instance, the god Thor was often associated with storms and fertility, symbolizing the life-giving power of rain. Myths were integral to the Norse understanding of the world around them, framing their experiences and guiding their actions.  
    
  Moreover, mythology reinforced social values and norms. Tales of heroic deeds, such as those of Beowulf or Sigurd the Dragon Slayer, exemplified ideals of bravery, loyalty, and honor. These narratives served as moral compasses, instructing individuals on how to navigate the complexities of life. The importance of kinship, courage in battle, and the pursuit of glory were emphasized through these stories, shaping the identities of both individuals and communities.

  Twenty-six centuries ago, the Buddha fleshed out the universal law of the spiritual realm: karma, which holds that our actions, our words, and even our thoughts inevitably produce effects that return to us in some form — in this lifetime or a future one. In The Beginner’s Guide to Karma, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine encourage readers to forget what they’ve heard about karma and look at the subject afresh. Delving into Buddhist scripture and tradition, the authors give a comprehensive overview that incorporates psychology, ethics, and metaphysics. Using everyday language and real-life examples, they clear away myths, illustrate how karma works in daily life, and offer practices to build positive karma. The Beginner’s Guide to Karma neatly sums up the Buddhist worldview and makes a compelling case for a way of being that nurtures compassion, joy, and inner peace in an uncertain world.

  It's scary and stressful when it happens . . . noticing changes in your parent and becoming increasingly worried about their health and safety. Maybe it's Mom leaving the stove on, Dad getting lost on his way home, or unpaid bills that trigger this realization. Or perhaps there have been falls or emergency room visits. Whatever it is, you know something's wrong. You wonder about a diagnosis. And you want your aging parent to accept help, or perhaps move. 
   
   
   
  Helping an older parent can be gratifying. But it's especially hard if they're blowing off your concerns, refusing to make changes, or otherwise resisting your efforts. You want them to listen, but they get upset or withdraw when you try to talk about this. What to do? 
   
   
   
  You don't have to remain stuck in conflict with your parent (or other family members). You don't have to keep getting the runaround from doctors or feel stumped about next steps. Instead, use an expert's clear plan on how to help your aging parent. 
   
   
   
  Full of actionable advice and insider tips, When Your Aging Parent Needs Help provides practical and flexible steps that move concerned families toward effective elder care action, while respecting a parent's dignity and autonomy.
