  Love is that quality of mind in which there is no division" - 14 February 1971To live in this world with intelligence, in spite of all the complications. Is it possible to be free of fear, not only the superficial fear in relationship but the deep-rooted fear? Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.When you are learning, your mind is awake. Truth isn’t second-hand; you can’t get it through a guru, a book, you have to learn about it. The beauty of learning is that you don’t know what truth is.What is love? A man who has not love in his heart, but the things made by thought, will make a monstrous world, will construct a society that is totally immoral. To find out, you must undo everything that you have done.What does it mean to die?

  For fans of The Artist’s Way and The Creative Act, comes a ground-breaking new look at creativity, introducing “play” as the key to building trust and confidence in ourselves and fostering a greater sense of creative expression.   You are creative! Yes you! Despite what society, friends, family, and social media might tell you, you don’t need to be interested in or practice the “classic creative outlets” like art, music, or writing to find creative expression. And if you are interested in those outlets, you don’t need to pursue them as a career to live a fuller life.   The key to cultivating the kind of big, juicy life that sparks joy, connection and fulfillment isn’t by focusing on being “creative,” it’s by prioritizing play. In Prioritize Play, host of the Chaotic Creatives podcast and play expert, Rachael Renae, reveals that play is more important to our wellbeing than productivity or career titles and should be prioritized as readily as getting groceries, paying your rent, or getting your work done. When we’re connected to play, we become more curious, open-minded and patient with ourselves and others and are better equipped to find our perfect people and express our most authentic selves.  Within these pages are:  Mindset shifts you can use today to start seeing play in the everyday  Strategies to turn play into a regular practice  Guidance on releasing expectations on your creativity, and  Lessons in becoming your own hype pal.  Through some introspection and fun activities, you’ll see that play is the solution toward overcoming our creative blocks, caring less about what people think of us, and showing ourselves that we do deserve to prioritize our creative ideas…whatever they are. Even when they don’t make money. Even if we’re not “good” at them. Even if they’re not a “traditional” creative outlet. Even if they don’t serve a big purpose. Because we all deserve our version of our Big, Juicy Life!

  Unwelcome Guests - A History of...

  In Unwelcome Guests, Harold S. Wechsler and Steven J. Diner argue that discrimination in college admissions has a long and troubling history in the US. Institutions of higher learning have vigorously sought to shape their mission and the experiences of their undergraduate students by paying careful attention to race and religion in admissions decisions. Wechsler and Diner explore how American colleges and universities sought to restrict enrollment of students they considered undesirable. How, they ask, did these practices change over time? And how did underrepresented students cope with this discrimination—and with the indifference, bare tolerance, or outright hostility of some of their professors and peers? 
   
   
   
  Tracing the efforts of people from underrepresented racial, ethnic, and religious groups to attend mainstream colleges, Wechsler and Diner also look at how these students fared after graduation, paying particular attention to Black women and men. Unwelcome Guests illuminates a critically important aspect of the history of American colleges and universities but also addresses policy debates about affirmative action and racial/ethnic diversity in colleges today. This profound history of the limits on college access over decades of discrimination helps listeners recognize and understand the role of race in the history of American higher education.

  “[An] entertaining and savory gastronomical history of the cuisine of Italy and how it won over appetites worldwide.” —USA TodayNot so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man's gruel—little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly

  World-renowned philosopher A. C. Grayling explores the messy politics of the 'culture wars' 
   
   
   
  It seems like we can't talk about anything nowadays . .  . Whether it's war or something utterly inconsequential, the internet is primed for furor. And the results can be horrifying—from online pile ons and doxing to job loss and, in some cases, death. But how did we end up here? 
   
   
   
  Nuanced and historically grounded, A. C. Grayling searches for middle ground in an otherwise incendiary debate. Looking at the history of cancellation, from Ancient Greek 'ostracism' through hemlock cups, witch trials, and the House of Un-American Activities, Discriminations is a timely examination of the state of our public culture and the chilling effect it's having on intellectual discourse.
