  At twenty-five, activist Cristina Moon faced an impossible task: preparing for the possibility of arrest and torture inside military-ruled Myanmar. Her response? Learning Buddhist meditation. So began what would become a decades-long spiritual path—eventually leading her to a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawai'i with a timeless method of warrior Zen training. 
   
   
   
  Offering a bracing account of three years of mind-body-spirit training at Daihonzan Chozen-ji, a Rinzai Zen temple and martial arts dojo, Moon powerfully captures the rigors and realizations that finally shaped her into a Zen priest whose highest directive is to give fearlessness. 
   
   
   
  Told with immersive detail and an unique Asian American female perspective, Three Years on the Great Mountain chronicles Moon's straight-up-the-mountain training regimen at Chozen-ji, conducted every day and often through the nights. Through the spiritual forging of daily Zen meditation, manual labor, swordsmanship, and Japanese tea ceremony, she discovers a newfound conviction that self mastery and spiritual growth can take fierce form. Embraced by local Hawai'i and Japanese culture, and a community of discipline, respect, and discovery, she discovers a profound sense of home.

  How to Build Spaces That Think...

  Your environment is not neutral — it’s shaping your focus, creativity, and mood every second. How to Build Spaces That Think for You explores the psychology of design and how small, deliberate changes in light, sound, temperature, and layout can reprogram the way you think. This isn’t interior decoration; it’s cognitive architecture. Drawing from environmental psychology and neuroscience, it reveals how rooms can either drain your attention or amplify it — and how to make focus the default state. 
  From designing workspaces that sustain deep concentration to creating restorative zones that encourage recovery, this book offers a blueprint for aligning space with intention. The goal isn’t aesthetic perfection — it’s behavioral precision. Because when your environment supports your mind, discipline feels effortless and creativity becomes instinctive. You don’t just live in a space — you collaborate with it.

  Are you still dealing with the aftereffects of an abusive relationship? 
  Many individuals do, and unfortunately, there is very little information accessible online, in the written study, or with counselors and therapists that can assist. The Gaslight Effect is not formally acknowledged nor commonly understood. 
  Even when illness is acknowledged, recognized, and understood, few individuals seem to know what to do to repair it... Being in a long-term relationship with a narcissist has long-term traumatic repercussions that may be incredibly devastating to the one suffering from them. 
  The goal of gaslighting is to make you believe you're insane or that your memory isn't working correctly. As a result, you can't trust yourself or your impressions of reality. 
  This implies you'll defer to the abuser for an account of what's true, and the abuser will gradually gain influence over your life. 
  Gaslighting occurs in intimate partnerships, such as one-on-one relationships. It happens in friendships, families, and workplaces; you will witness gaslighting on the news; you will hear gaslighting from politicians, corporate shills, cult leaders, advertising campaigns, and so on. 
  What you will discover:Top ten indicators you're being deceived by gaslightingThere are 80 things that narcissists say when they are gaslighted.Six powerful strategies for disarming a narcissist and regaining controlHow to Avoid Psychological ManipulationHow to Handle the Consequences of GaslightingHow Narcissists Make Use of Smart Devices

  A Rare Recording of President...

  President John F. Kennedy gave his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin. It is one of the best-known speeches of the Cold War, and among the most famous anti-communist speeches. Twenty-two months earlier, East Germany had erected the Berlin Wall to prevent mass emigration to West Berlin. The speech was aimed as much at the Soviet Union as it was at West Berliners. The speech is considered one of Kennedy's finest, delivered at the height of the Cold War and the New Frontier. It was a great morale boost for West Berliners, who lived in an enclave deep inside East Germany and feared a possible East German occupation. 
   
  President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was the youngest person to assume the presidency by election and the youngest president at the end of his tenure. Kennedy served at the climax of the Cold War, and the majority of his foreign policy concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba. A Democrat, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in both houses of the U.S. Congress prior to his presidency.

  For the Record - and other Poems...

  Gillian Bickley

  This collection of poems was written during almost thirty years' residence in Hong Kong. Most are on explicitly Hong Kong topics, and reflect the writer's personal experience and knowledge of Hong Kong. Those who have emigrated or who have spent a period of time overseas will empathise with the expatriate experience described. Other poems narrate and reflect on personal events and concerns which will resonate with many.  
  “Gillian Bickley has the sharp eye and strong stomach of the true realist. ... brilliantly observed.... ‘Tobacco’ is about as close as any poet comes to word-perfect... Not even the American minimalist William Carlos Williams could zero in on and capture a detail with more panache. ...A thought-provoking and entertaining contribution to Hong Kong literature. Bickley succeeds in conveying the character of the Fragrant Harbour with humorous rigour.” — David Wilson, Sunday Morning Post, 21 September 2003 
  “In For the Record and other Poems of Hong Kong, Gillian Bickley inhabits a world of movement, traffic, construction and buildings, but her poetry sees through this to a nature of flying, singing birds and lush green trees existing in harmony or sometimes at odds with modern day Hong Kong. Her work offers a counterpoint of the survival and continuity of nature against which our busy everyday lives are measured. Bickley's Hong Kong is both a universal and a personal one and, like Italo Calvino's book The City, she captures a Hong Kong of the mind, the one city that we all share as a physical space against the myriad cities that we experience and perceive distinctly as our own. She skillfully fuses the human and the natural world". — Dave McKirdy, poet, The Asian Review of Books, 21 September 2003.
