Sinossi

In "The Hundredth Monkey," Jr. Ken Keyes explores the phenomenon of collective consciousness through a unique blend of parable and philosophical inquiry. The narrative draws upon the thrilling anecdote of macaque monkeys learning new behaviors, posing provocative questions about the nature of learning and the interconnectedness of all beings. Keyes' literary style oscillates between anecdotal storytelling and intellectual discourse, wrapping complex ideas in accessible prose, thus inviting readers from various backgrounds to delve into concepts of social change and human evolution. The text resonates with the emerging social and environmental movements of the late 20th century, reflecting an era increasingly aware of the power of human thought and collective action. Ken Keyes, a prominent figure in the fields of personal development and holistic living, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the 1960s, including his encounters with Eastern philosophies and emerging psychological theories. His quest to understand the interplay between individual and collective behaviors not only propelled him to write this seminal work but also shaped his lifelong commitment to promoting awareness and conscious living. Keyes' own journey of recovery from illness through his holistic approaches further informed his ideology of transformation and the potential for societal upliftment. This thought-provoking book is highly recommended for readers interested in sociology, collective consciousness, and the transformative power of ideas. Keyes' work serves as a clarion call for individuals seeking to understand their role in the greater tapestry of life, urging readers to consider how a shift in consciousness can resonate beyond the individual and ripple throughout society.

UnSexy Spirituality - Insights...

Bhu Thaker

Over the last few years, I have spent considerable time deepening my spiritual quotient. It all started in 2013 when I took up Vipassana meditation and started practicing seriously, and later developed an interest in reciting certain mantras.
I have titled it "UnSexy Spirituality". The reason for this title is pretty straightforward, I am sharing insights into the core concepts of Sanatana Dharma (Indian Spirituality) without any hype. The intent is to share the insights I have gained from my journey thus far.
You will find many books on the shelf that mix mysticism with Indian spirituality, my attempt is to present Indian spiritual concepts as is without mysticism and hence the play of the word Unsexy.
The Audiobook is thoughtfully designed for people to “Listen”; and “Contemplate”. The process of repeat listening and then contemplating the concepts mentioned in the audiobook is the key to fully digesting these concepts. It allows seekers to find clarity as well as uplift themselves to higher awareness levels.
I have compiled this wisdom into 14 chapters that simplify the core concepts which have kept me as well as other Indians and many westerners confused.

Storming the Ivory Tower - How a...

Richard Corcoran, Christopher F....

Covid alerted the nation to the reality that K-12 schools were infested with ideologues bent on indoctrinating children. Then, three years after the beginning of the pandemic, the response to Hamas's genocidal assault on Israel made Americans aware that the same tumor had wholly sickened our country's colleges and universities. Now, conservatives—and increasingly, moderates and old-school liberals—want to know exactly how the radical left captured higher education. 
 
 
 
Florida has been the vanguard in the war to restore sanity to higher education. And Richard Corcoran has been one of its commanding generals. When Corcoran was Florida's education commissioner, he was the point person for reopening schools and banning mask mandates. He triumphed. Then, he was given a herculean task: remaking a college overrun by radicalism and cancel culture. In 2023, he moved into the president's office in Sarasota, took on a campus mob, and challenged a media firestorm. 
 
 
 
Just a year later, Corcoran achieved the seemingly impossible. He turned around New College of Florida. Now, free speech is protected. Violence and anti-Semitism are abolished. DEI bureaucracy is eliminated. And enrollment records are being broken. Storming the Ivory Tower is the story of how Corcoran is winning the fight for freedom in hostile territory and how others can join.

The Book of Nonexistent Words

Stefano Massini

The internationally acclaimed author harnesses his brilliant imagination and masterful storytelling ability to create a catalog of new words inspired by stories of real people in this wondrous book reminiscent of Italo Calvino's mesmerizing Invisible Cities.
How many times have words not been enough?
How many complex feelings don’t have a corresponding noun that properly describes them?
How many times has language left us like an archer without arrows in the labyrinth of our emotions?
Award-winning author Stefano Massini, a master of expression,, made a discovery that shot new life into his writing practice. To his surprise he found that the ancient rules of language were not quite as restrictive as he had long envisioned them to be. With so many emotions and states of mind missing modern descriptors and definitions, Massini stumbled across a simple but artistry-altering idea. Instead of compromising honest expression through perfunctory verbiage, he decided language was, if anything, a flowing palette of colors he could use to paint all things. Words are meant to be invented.
To reconfirm his belief in the magic of words, Massini returned to the wondrous mechanism that has fed dictionaries from time immemorial. If he could not find the precise word he wanted, he created one. In this delightful compendium, he introduces his personal vocabulary; every chapter mentions a new word that comes from a story about a real person, from Louis XIV to an American gangster.
The Book of Nonexistent Words is a beautifully illustrated collection of linguistic origin stories wrought from the mind of an internationally renowned storytelling icon. Massini effectively liberates our human capacity for using language creatively and shows how we can embrace storytelling to fine tune our way of being in the world. Massini encourages us to be imaginative; if the language in the dictionary cannot adequately match the reality of the here and now, we must create new words that ring true.
