Personal boundaries are the restrictions and norms we set for ourselves within relationships. Healthy boundaries allow people to say "no" to others when necessary.

Two Three Words (Do Se Kalameh)...

Aram Hessami

Where is the driving force for change? Who envisions a better future, crafts the path to democracy, and strategizes the movement? Who fuels it with revolutionary zeal and the will to power? And where is the force that can fulfill the unfinished promise of Iran's Constitutional Revolution? In three words: The Iranian Citizenry. Thirty years before Iran's Constitutional Revolution, the treatise One Word (Yek Kalameh) ignited a movement, challenging absolute monarchy, advocating the rule of law, and empowering the people. Now, Two, Three Words (Do, Se Kalameh) draws inspiration from the courageous youth of Iran. It articulates their aspirations, forges a new discourse, and unites a narrative that could pave the way for democratic alternatives. 
Aram Hessami is a professor of Political Science and Philosophy at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland. His research and publications focus on Democratic Transition, Discourse Theory, and Social Change. He received his BA, MA, and Doctorate in Political Science & Philosophy from The George Washington University in 1993. Dr. Hessami's specialization is in Western Political Thought and Post-modern philosophy.

Shaped by Saints

Devi Mukherjee

Shaped by Saints

Author, Devi Mukherjee takes the reader on a profoundly inspiring pilgrimage to meet saints and realized masters of modern India in forest ashrams, mountain caves, holy places, and shrines. He shares many insights and lessons from the great ones and tells many previously unpublished stories of Yogananda’s early life and return visit to India in 1935-36.

While a young man, he worked with Mahatma Gandhi in the Indian resistance movement and was imprisoned for ﬁve months. After release, Devi began a spiritual quest throughout India, traveling some 45 years at various times.

This beautifully written book takes you on a deeply inspiring pilgrimage to visit saints and God-realized masters of modern-day India. Devi Mukherjee—a disciple of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (1893–1952)—invites you to walk in his footsteps and experience India’s spiritual richness, preserved in forest ashrams, mountain caves, and in holy places and shrines.

Throughout his many years of travel, Devi meditated with some of India’s great souls and felt their transforming spiritual power. From all, he received the same soul guidance—to love God with every fiber of one’s being. One of Yogananda’s closest boyhood friends, Tulsi Bose, is the father of Devi’s wife, Hassi. From Bose and others, Devi obtained previously unpublished stories of Yogananda’s early life and 1935 visit to India that give the reader inspiring new glimpses of Yogananda’s generosity, courage, loyalty to friends, and spiritual power.

A Field Guide to a Happy Life -...

Anónimo

A brilliant philosopher reimagines Stoicism for our modern age in this thought-provoking guide to a better life.For more than two thousand years, Stoicism has offered a message of resilience in the face of hardship. Little wonder, then, that it is having such a revival in our own troubled times. But there is no denying how weird it can be: Is it really the case that we shouldn't care about our work, our loved ones, or our own lives? According to the old Stoics, yes.In A Field Guide to a Happy Life, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers a renewed Stoicism that reflects modern science and sensibilities. Pigliucci embraces the joyful bonds of affection, the satisfactions of a job well done, and the grief that attends loss. In his hands, Stoicism isn't about feats of indifference, but about enduring pain without being overwhelmed, while enjoying pleasures without losing our heads. In short, he makes Stoicism into a philosophy all of us -- whether committed Stoics or simply seekers -- can use to live better.
