  12 Ancient Practices for the Modern Hustler is a 90-day transformation program that helps high achievers, founders, and creatives escape burnout using ancient wisdom that actually fits a modern life. Instead of another productivity hack, you get a clear system built around 12 time-tested practices: Stoic morning rituals, sacred rest, Kaizen, Santosha, walking meditation, memento mori, Ayurvedic daily rhythm, Wu Wei, community circles, sacred silence, forest bathing, and evening gratitude.  
  You will see yourself in Sarah, the overworked tech VP who has read every productivity book, tried every app, and still feels hollow. Her story shows what hustle culture does to a human being whose worth is tied to output. This book meets you right there: in the late-night Slack pings, in the endless to-do list, in the feeling that you are always behind, even when you are winning.  
  Inside, you will learn: 
  • How hustle culture and constant optimization quietly damage your nervous system, relationships, and sense of meaning, even when you look successful from the outside.  
  • Why ancient wisdom traditions from Stoicism, Buddhism, Ayurveda, Taoism, and indigenous cultures created powerful daily practices to handle the same questions you are facing now: success, stress, purpose, and mortality.  
  • The research behind ancient practices: from Dr. Judson Brewer’s work on the default mode network and meditation, to Dr. Barbara Fredrickson’s studies on gratitude and loving kindness, to the Harvard Study of Adult Development on relationships and long-term happiness.  
  • Why a 90-day transformation is the sweet spot for lasting change, with roughly 66 days to build a habit and 90 days to create new neural pathways, and how this book uses that timeline step by step.  
  This is your invitation to step off the hamster wheel, reclaim your time, and rebuild your life from the inside out using 12 ancient practices for the modern hustler.

  Demonic Possession and Exorcism:...

  Editors Charles River

  In the 21st century, most people associate the idea of the possession of a person or place by a malevolent supernatural entity with the medieval world and particularly with the Catholic Church, but the truth is considerably stranger. Virtually every human culture that has ever existed has talked about both possession and exorcism, a rite or ritual used to free a person or place from possession. The terms used to describe the process of possession and entities thought to be responsible have changed throughout history, but the central theory does not. In certain circumstances, it is said that a person, place, or object may become inhabited by an entity that comes from somewhere else. The outcome is generally negative and sometimes even fatal. The only effective remedy is exorcism, the banishment of the entity involved to the place from which it came.  
  	Some branches of modern psychology suggests that possession is simply a form of mental illness and that all these cases can be explained in psychological terms. But, as you will see, there appears to be a remarkable consistency in reports of possessions and even witness reports of possessed people demonstrating remarkable powers and abilities. It is difficult to explain those things purely in terms of psychology. 
  	Furthermore, while people might associate possession and exorcism with the past, particularly the medieval world, claims have increased dramatically in the past 50 years. The situation became so serious that in 1990, a group of Roman Catholic priests formed the International Association of Exorcists (IAE). This group lobbied the Vatican to recognize the growth of instances in demonic possession, and in 2004, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith asked every Catholic diocese to appoint a trained exorcist.

  “An invaluable guide for all those journeying on the path to greater freedom.”—Joseph Goldstein 
  The mind can be a potent tool, used to guide extraordinary achievements, inspire good works, and incline your spiritual path toward peace and awakening. But the mind can also produce thoughts that lead to suffering. 
  Most of us have experienced thoughts running rampant and seeming to oppress or control our lives. Even the Buddha tells us that before his enlightenment, he sometimes found his mind preoccupied by thoughts connected with sensual desire, ill will, and harm. But he figured out how to respond to thoughts skillfully and developed a step-by-step approach to calm the restless mind. 
  Following the Buddha’s pragmatic approach, a beloved Insight Meditation teacher guides you through five steps for overcoming distraction and focusing the mind:Replace unwholesome thoughts with wholesome thoughts.Examine the dangers of distracting thoughts.Avoid it, ignore it, forget it.Investigate the causes of distraction.Apply determination and resolve. 
  Each chapter includes exercises and reflections to help you cultivate these five steps to deeper concentration. You’ll learn about your mind and develop your ability to direct your attention more skillfully in meditation and daily activities. And ultimately, you’ll discover for yourself how these five steps boil down to one key realization: In the moment you recognize that a thought is just a thought, you will find yourself on the path to a life of remarkable freedom.

  Find strength in the struggle, passion to persist, wisdom when you're weary, and joy for the journey. 
    
  If you've ever been on a long trip with small children you've no doubt heard, "Are we there yet?" Maybe you've even said those exact words or felt that same way as you have journeyed with God. Midway is where these feelings of frustration and impatience are most commonly felt. It's also where our hidden doubts find their voice.  
    
  Where most beginnings start with energy and expectation for all that is ahead, and endings bring the joy of completion as you arrive at your desired destination, the middle is very different. This midpoint can too quickly become a low point, as energy is lacking and enthusiasm wanes. Yet how well you handle the middle reveals what is in the middle of you. 
    
  The disciples found—in the middle of a lake—a revelation of Jesus that they had never seen on the shore. In the middle is where new navigational skills are found. It's also where some of the most significant lessons are learned.  
    
  Join Charlotte Gambill in this compelling, story-driven message that shows through biblical teaching and life application how those who persist through the middle will find that miracles await them on the other side.
