The Magical Reality (Translated)

Roger de Lafforest

Sinossi

It is not the possession of the formula that creates the sorcerer, it is the living sorcerer who makes even a pun thaumaturgical. 
Count HERMANN VON KEYSERLING.

"Almost all my fellow researchers advised me to keep silent, while all the laymen of those so-called 'occult' sciences encouraged me to speak.
If I had had to reveal only obscure recipes of the kind to be found in magic books, or secrets already revealed such as those generally published by magazines in their witchcraft columns, of picturesque, or less invented, reports on the manifestations more than invisible forces, I would not have hesitated.
My purpose was altogether different, in that I had the intention of making public, of revealing the new techniques capable of enabling anyone to gain access to the marvelous powers, of reproducing in the laboratory, and with far more sure efficacy, all the works that soothsayers boast of accomplishing with or without the help of the devil."

Lead Like a Monk - Benedict's...

Anselm Grün

Internationally bestselling author and German monk Anselm Grün presents ancient wisdom for leadership today.
Whether you lead a business, a family, a non-profit, or a church group, this book will help you discover the joy of leadership and create a sanctuary where a group of people mobilize their spiritual resources, ask relevant questions, love, trust, and respect one another.

Leadership is not about power, status, and titles. According to the Rule of St. Benedict, true leadership is about awakening creativity in others and building an environment of trust and respect. It's less about maximizing profits and more about finding meaning.
Radical in its time, this 6th century rule offers an approach to leadership that is clear and refreshing in its simplicity. Benedict is primarily concerned with the characteristics of a leader, and how such a person needs to work on himself in order to be able to lead at all. To Benedict, leading through personality is more important than any methods and strategies.
In this insightful book, Benedictine monk and internationally bestselling author Anselm Grün offers practical wisdom on all aspects of leadership, including:

- The Qualities of a Leader
- Benedict's View of Human Nature
- Leadership as Service
- Awakening Creativity
- Management of Material Possessions
- Respecting Boundaries
- Thinking from the heart
- Avoiding workaholism
Benedict's rule does not moralize or preach. It shows how economic function and economic security for a large number of people can be combined with respecting creation and the human beings around us. Leadership is an art, full of challenges but also deeply satisfying.
