The book you hold in your hands—variously titled Raja Yoga, or Mental Development and A Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga—is a fascinating relic from a transformative era in Western spirituality. To understand this text, one must look past the saffron robes of its purported origins and into the bustling publishing world of early20th-century Chicago.
How to Make People Do What You Want Do you want to learn how to appeal to people, be happier, healthier, and freer? How to Make People Do What You Want will get you started on that wonderful path. Modern life distracts us from what's really important, causing us to forget who we really are. None of us were born with fears, depression, or nervousness, no, something in our lives along the line pushes us into a downward spiral, careening into problems left and right. The solutions to these problems may be staring us straight in the face, but unless we try, we'll never figure it out and reach our full potential. For some, dealing with people can be very stressful, but it doesn't have to be! The hangups and baggage that weigh us down need to be set aside, we need to become free. Many kind, caring, and intelligent people repel potential friends, employers, and even future spouses because they're not socially perceptive, they don't understand how to attract friends, and they don't understand what impression their words, actions, and behaviors may give to others. This skill is vital to learn because not one of us is an island, we can try to live by ourselves, but we make life so much more rich, easy, joyous, simple, and relaxed when we work together with friends to reach a common goal. Life doesn't have to be so difficult, the repetitive, boring, stressful, and unpleasant life you probably live is not a necessity—it's up to you, it's your choice. Choose wisely. Doing and learning new things will inherently require us to make changes, big changes, and this will feel uncomfortable.Voir livre
While there are a few short articles and guides addressing the challenges and complexities of leading white affinity groups, there has never been a detailed handbook exclusively for white racial affinity group facilitators. There are many challenges in facilitating these groups, including the need to have a deep theoretical understanding of racism, a high degree of racial self-awareness, sensitivity to and the ability to work with the range of skills and degrees of awareness participants bring, and strong facilitation and conflict-resolution skills. This book is the first in-depth guide for educators, mediators, workplace consultants and trainers, workplace diversity groups, community organizers, conference organizers, members of faith communities, and members of racial and social justice groups. Dr. Robin DiAngelo and Amy Burtaine, who collectively bring over twenty years of experience leading anti-racist education and racial affinity groups, present the following: · a theoretical framework for understanding racism; · a case for the value of racial affinity groups as a tool for challenging racism; · guidelines for setting up affinity groups in a variety of contexts; · the skills and perspectives needed for effective facilitation; · scenarios to illustrate common challenges; · a glossary of definitions; · exercises, discussion prompts, and assessment tools. · an extensive list of common patterns and group dynamics and how to address them This accessible guide is an important reference for anyone committed to anti-racism work.Voir livre

I am not a doctor. I am a diabetic. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes thirty years ago at the age of 11. I followed all the rules, becoming a spokesperson in my community for a diet rich in "healthy" whole grains as countless doctors and dietitians had recommended. However, during all of this time, I was overweight, had bad skin, and suffered from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). I was tired and unhappy. A random comment from a stranger caused me to start questioning the rules and doing my own research. I learned more about how my body works and made changes to my diet and lifestyle. I felt better within weeks and my health continued to improve for years to come. I forged ahead down this path of in-depth research, experimenting on myself more and more. I lost weight, gained energy, and started seeing the best blood sugar levels I'd ever seen. But most importantly, I FELT GREAT. Once I figured these things out, I wanted to shout them from the rooftops! I was so disappointed that no doctor had ever told me these things. I know that most of us with diabetes feel frustrated. They feel shame that despite an honest effort to follow the "rules," diabetes continues to win. In this book, I share how to easily optimize your health by naturally enhancing the blood sugar stabilizing powers of the body, and facts I have discovered about the potential factors that may be getting in your way. I share changes I've made to achieve more control over my diabetes and feel better, and I encourage you to dig deeper into your own body's needs to figure out what works for you. I promise it will be easier than you expect and absolutely worth it. I believe you can achieve better blood sugar levels, have steady energy, improve your sleep, and feel great by making just a few changes to your daily life the way I have. Your diabetes will become easier to manage, and you will reduce your risk of future complications.Voir livre
