The Untroubled Mind

Herbert J. Hall

Sinopse

The place of God in healing. Expressed in the most elegant language.
“I know of no bodily ill or handicap which we may not eventually rise above and beyond by means of brave spiritual progress.”
The state of mind plays a vital role in one's health and happiness. Many troubles in life stem from one's untrained, undisciplined mind causing mental unrest and worry. One remedy is to know life in its farther reaches and better applications and to obtain an untroubled mind through spiritual hygiene and growth. With an untroubled mind, one can smoothly cope with the life's ups and downs, fears and regrets. This book discusses the importance and the guidance of having an untroubled mind, including mind practice and cultivation by faith, prayer, self-control, rest, lighter touch, and virtues.
How are we to live the larger life? Partly through uninspired struggle and through the brave meeting of adversity, but partly, also, in a way that may be described as out of hand, by intuition, by exercise of the quality of mind.
"A very wise physician has said that “every illness has two parts—what it is, and what the patient thinks about it.” What the patient thinks about it is often more important and more troublesome than the real disease. What the patient thinks of life, what life means to him is also of great importance and may be the bar that shuts out all real health and happiness. The following pages are devoted to certain ideals of life which I would like to give to my patients, the long-time patients who have especially fallen to my lot."

Mr Smith Goes to Prison - What...

Jeff Smith

The fall from politico to prisoner isn't necessarily long, but the landing, as Missouri State Senator Jeff Smith learned, is a hard one.In 2009, Smith lied to the Feds about seemingly minor campaign malfeasance and earned himself a year and a day in Kentucky's FCI Manchester. Mr. Smith Goes to Prison is the fish-out-of-water story of his time in the big house; of the people he met there and the things he learned: how to escape the attentions of fellow inmates, like a tattooed Klansman and his friends in the Aryan Brotherhood; what constitutes a prison car and who's allowed to ride in yours; how to bend and break the rules, whether you're a prisoner or an officer. And throughout his sentence, the senator tracked the greatest crime of all: the deliberate waste of untapped human potential. Smith saw the power of millions of inmates harnessed as a source of renewable energy for America's prison-industrial complex, a system that aims to build better criminals instead of better citizens. In Mr. Smith Goes to Prison, he traces the cracks in America's prison walls, exposing the shortcomings of a racially based cycle of poverty and crime. Smith blends a wry sense of humor with academic training, political acumen, and insights from his year on the inside. He offers practical solutions to jailbreak the nation from the financially crushing grip of its own prisons and to jump-start the rehabilitation of the millions living behind bars.
