Sinopsis

Sitting Health Risks highlights the often-overlooked dangers of prolonged sitting, a common aspect of modern life, especially for those with desk jobs. The book dives into how sedentary behavior impacts metabolic health, posture, and circulation, increasing the risk of chronic diseases, even for individuals who exercise regularly. It emphasizes that prolonged sitting is an independent risk factor, regardless of exercise habits. The book presents this information in an accessible manner, making it suitable for a general audience.

 
The book begins by explaining the physiological mechanisms affected by prolonged sitting, then explores specific health risks supported by research. It connects sedentary behavior to fields such as ergonomics and public health, providing a comprehensive understanding of the issue.

 
The final sections offer practical strategies for incorporating movement into daily routines, providing actionable advice for both workplace and home environments, empowering the reader to take control of their health.

    Originally published in Amsterdam in 1771, Swedenborg presents his theological views against the backdrop of, and in contrast to, key concepts in Protestant Christianity. In the fourteen chapters of his two-volume True Christianity (volume two begins with chapter 8), he addresses topics such as the nature of God, the Bible, and the Trinity; how and why Jesus redeemed the human race; the multilayered meanings of the Ten Commandments; how faith and good works contribute to salvation; the true nature and purpose of baptism and Holy Supper (Communion); and the Last Judgment, the Second Coming, and the descent of the New Jerusalem. It includes Swedenborg’s most extended and practice-oriented discussion of how to undertake effective repentance from sin. The tone of the work is often blunt and confrontational and, when it resorts to reducing opposing arguments to absurdity, devastatingly biting and witty. It is recommended for those with a particular interest in exploring Swedenborg’s theological views and seeing the biblical support he offers for them. Swedenborg also included extensive accounts of his spiritual experiences in this work. 
    Volume 2 covers topics such as freedom of choice, repentance, the transformation of a person’s inner being during spiritual awakening, the rites of baptism and the Holy Supper (Communion), and the Second Coming of the Lord.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 134 by Elizabeth J. A. Harris, A Journey into Buddhism narrated by Ethan Christy. 
     
    Excerpt: 
    "The themes of the talks are rooted in my journey, as a Christian, into Buddhism. In the mid-1980s I felt the need to ’let go’ of my own religious conditioning to enter the world of another faith. It grew from a conviction that people with an interest in religion should not remain imprisoned within one framework but should explore others. The choice of Buddhism and Sri Lanka was a natural one for me. Buddhism’s emphasis on meditation and non-violence touched my own interests as a Christian, and a visit to Sri Lanka in 1984 had left me with the feeling that my link with the island was not finished. 
    I originally intended to be in Sri Lanka for one year. One year, however, became seven and a half, from 1986 until 1993. My aim throughout was not only to study Buddhism but to practise it. I did not consider myself involved in ’interfaith dialogue’ although I’m sure some perceived my actions in this way. I wanted to enter Buddhism on its own terms, as a human being rather than as a Christian." 
     
    The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 134 can be downloaded from the BPS website.

    Ganbatte (gan-ba-tay) is a Japanese philosophy focused on doing the best you can with what you have. Though there is no direct translation, ""keep going,"" and ""give it your all,"" embody the sentiments behind the word. Just as wabi sabi shows the beauty of imperfection in life, ganbatte teaches you how to get past obstacles and be motivated to keep moving forward.In Ganbatte! author Albert Liebermann provides an inspirational, yet practical guide to becoming more resilient the Japanese way. In 50 short chapters, some deeper and some more playful, Liebermann guides you through ways you can adopt the ganbatte approach to achieve a happier, more fulfilling life—and a happier, more fulfilled self. These include:Separating ""difficult"" from ""impossible""Making use of failureCultivating patienceWorking mindfully with a sense of awareness Continually improvingPracticing meditationPushing through a crisisTaking the slow routeSprinkled throughout the book are ""Ganbatte Rules""—short, actionable steps you can take to move forward in a part of your life where you may be stuck (whether it's fitness, love or starting a business). A foreword by Hector Garcia, author of the bestselling Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, introduces the concept of ganbatte and how he learned of its existence from one of Japan's centenarians. While many aspects of life are beyond our control, how we deal with setbacks and difficulties is as much of a choice as how we approach everyday tasks. This book helps you tap into your own ability to persevere and encourages you to stay motivated and hopeful in difficult times. If you apply the tenacity and resilience of the Japanese in your daily life, difficult becomes easy, and impossible becomes possible.
