- Meditations for mortals : four weeks to embrace your limitations and make time for what counts / by Burkeman, Oliver,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From Oliver Burkeman, author of the New York Times bestseller Four Thousand Weeks, a four-week journey to embracing your limitations, thriving in an age of bewilderment, and finally making time for what counts. Four Thousand Weeks, Oliver Burkeman's breakout New York Times bestseller, touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of readers. Inspired and moved by Burkeman's investigation of how to live unblinkingly in the face our limited time on earth, they changed their lives: made big decisions to rethink careers, relationships, priorities, and misguided assumptions about productivity. They made to-don't lists; embraced hobbies they aren't any good at and that will never earn a profit; and made peace with letting certain aspirations go. Many readers found new forms of happiness and meaning at home and at work. In Meditations for Mortals, Burkeman brings the themes and questions at the heart of Four Thousand Weeks -- time, mortality, imperfection, productivity, and how to live fully and deeply even when things are most challenging -- into the heart of our daily lives. How do we embrace the reality of our finiteness? How do we make decisions and act with conviction when there is always too much to do and failure is inevitable? How do we find a deeper sense of purpose when we realize that life is not a problem to be solved? How does care for others make us more free? Comprised of four weeks of extended reflections on inspiring quotations -- drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help -- Burkeman's latest is the perfect companion during a time of turbulence and pervasive anxiety: a source of solace and enlightenment, inspiration and insight, and humour and provocation. The result is a winking challenge to the usual self-help platitudes -- a surprising and entertaining crash course in living meaningfully."--

- Embers : one Ojibway's meditations / by Wagamese, Richard,author.;
"In this carefully curated selection of everyday reflections, Richard Wagamese finds lessons in both the mundane and sublime as he muses on the universe, drawing inspiration from working in the bush--sawing and cutting and stacking wood for winter as well as the smudge ceremony to bring him closer to the Creator. Embers is perhaps Richard Wagamese's most personal volume to date. Honest, evocative and articulate, he explores the various manifestations of grief, joy, recovery, beauty, gratitude, physicality and spirituality--concepts many find hard to express. But for Wagamese, spirituality is multifaceted. Within these pages, readers will find hard-won and concrete wisdom on how to feel the joy in the everyday things. Wagamese does not seek to be a teacher or guru, but these observations made along his own journey to become, as he says, "a spiritual bad-ass," make inspiring reading."--

- Here & hereafter : how wisdom from the departed can transform your life now / by Henry, Tyler,author.;
"From Tyler Henry, celebrated medium, comes the ultimate self-help guide detailing the insights the departed have communicated about how to live our best, most meaningful lives. Do you want to live more meaningfully, and in turn fulfill your life's potential? Do you want to have the capability to transform your life and make it infinitely better, by paying attention to what those who have lived and died have come to understand about the meaning of life itself? As one of the world's most accomplished mediums, Tyler Henry has had thousands of communications with those who've already gone through humanity's final frontier: physical death. The life lessons he's learned from those conversations have been truly transformative. In Here & Hereafter Tyler explains that by listening and learning from the departed, following their guidance, and paying attention to what they might have done differently, we can get more fulfillment and purpose from our own lives. Here & Hereafter will shed light on the most powerful understandings Tyler has gained from modern day mediumship-and explain how those understandings can lead us to live a more meaningful life"--

- A life in light : meditations on impermanence / by Pipher, Mary Bray,author.;
In her luminous new memoir in essays, Mary Pipher taps into a cultural moment, to offer wisdom, hope, and insight into loss and change. Drawing from her own experiences and expertise as a psychologist specializing in women, trauma, and the effect of our culture on our mental health, she looks inward to what shaped her as a woman, one who has experienced darkness throughout her life but was always drawn to the light. Her plainspoken depictions of her hard childhood and life's difficulties are dappled with moments of joy and revelation, tragedies and ordinary miseries, glimmers and shadow. As a child, she was separated from her parents for long periods. Those separations affected her deeply, but in A Life in Light she explores what she's learned about how to balance despair with joy, utilizing and sharing with readers every coping skill she has honed during her lifetime to remind us that there is a silver thread of resilience that flows through all of life, and that despite our despair, the light will return. In this book, she points us toward that light.
