Featured Titles
A Life Worth Breathing
- Max Strom
Go beyond the yoga revolution to find greater meaning in everyday life. We can do more with this life. We all know it, we all wish for it, but just how to do it—that eludes us. In his new book, A Life Worth Breathing, internationally renowned yoga teacher and spiritual philosopher Max Strom shows us the way. His groundbreaking book reaches past expected dogma in a language that is vital, inspired, and accessible. Strom leads us on a journey of self-discovery as we excavate our past in order to have a better understanding of our present.
The Power of NOW
-Eckhart Tolle
In The Power of Now Eckhart Tolle shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living “present, fully and intensely, in the Now.
Wherever You Go There You Are
- John Kabat-Zinn
In Wherever You Go There You Are, Jon Kabat-Zinn goes deeply into the practice of meditation. To Kabat-Zinn, meditation is important because it brings about a state of “mindfulness,” a condition of “being” rather than “doing” during which you pay attention to the moment rather than the past, the future, or the multitudinous distractions of modern life. In brief, rather poetic chapters, he describes different meditative practices and what they can do for the practitioner. This book makes learning meditation remarkably easy (although practicing it is not). But it also makes it seem infinitely appealing. –Ben Kallen
If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules
- Cherie Carter-Scott
If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules is “a basic spiritual primer for what it means to be a human,” discusses each of the 10 rules (e.g., “There are no mistakes, only lessons,” and “Lessons are repeated until learned,”) and discusses them with kindness, eloquence, and wisdom. Each of the rules has four “lessons.” You’ll read this inspirational book more than once, and mark quotes to tell friends. — Joan Price
