Die Japaner glauben, dass jeder ein Ikigai hat – einen Daseinsgrund, der jeden Tag mit Sinn erfüllt. Und in einem kleinen Dorf in Japan namens Okinawa, wo die Menschen länger leben als irgendwo sonst auf der Welt, ist das Finden deines Ikigai der Schlüssel zu einem glücklicheren, gesünderen Leben.

The Analects are a collection of Confucius’s sayings brought together by his pupils shortly after his death in 497 BC. Together they express a philosophy, or a moral code, by which Confucius, one of the most humane thinkers of all time, believed everyone should live. Upholding the ideals of wisdom, self-knowledge, courage and love of one’s fellow man, he argued that the pursuit of virtue should be every individual’s supreme goal.

As in walking we learn to harmonize with the law of gravity, so in living we learn to harmonize with the natural order. By this understanding of the term, one must develop a certain mastery of Taoist philosophy in order to remain alive. What departs the Way is already doomed, posits Lao, thus validating this understanding of his teachings as a nature philosophy which, like the nearly contemporaneous Athenian enlightenment, crested thousands of years ahead of its modern reawakening.

Living transcendentally is not the same as "having the answers to life". The intention with which this book is written is to help you identify the God within yourself. Religion is a guidepost, but not the answer. Philosophy is a guidepost, not the answer. People who over-identify with one group or tribe for ideological reasons invariably meet with disappointment because there will always be some tenets they internally oppose and disagree with. Yet they ignore their inner voice in order to "fit in with the rest".

The fragile but strong friend next door, in search of love, inner beauty and whatever else the life and a trip to India will dedicate her. Stefania through the latter will explore costumes, customs, traditions, and the different religions that coexist with related Divinity, ascetics and celebrations. Finally she will know the Essence. It will be like retiring in a beautiful and unspoiled glimpse of Nature, where there is nothing and no one but the encounter and profound communion with one's self.

Yoga is thought of by many as a fitness hobby—a gentler alternative to SoulCycle and CrossFit—but its underlying philosophy offers much more than a good workout. Yoga can relieve stress, focus the mind, and provide a path to reinvention, resilience, and a meaningful life. In Beyond the Mat, physician, executive, and yoga instructor Julie Rosenberg reveals how the essential lessons of the four-thousand-year-old Yoga Sutras contain a relevant framework in which to thrive both personally and professionally.

For the Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, war was synchronic with life. Tzu viewed the world as a network of combat zones where the stakes were high, struggle was the primary mode of being, no one was to be trusted, and survival depended on nothing less than unconditional victory.

Augmented by commentary and anecdotes, this audio edition maintains the pure, near-poetic tone of the original work.

Think of any scene of disaster and you'll find Sikh volunteers rallying to the site to perform seva—pronounced 'say-va', meaning selfless service—feeding migrant workers, helping riot victims, and cleaning up after earthquakes and floods. Why has this 30 million strong community become the world's Good Samaritan? What is it about their values that makes so many of them do so much good? And how is it that they're also able to channel so much joy and laughter while serving others?

The investigator who seeks to develop exact and careful conception of realities in a realm as temperamental as the occult faces from the beginning unsuspected difficulties. Every defining term as well as every accepted teaching and doctrine is variously interpreted by the different groups of students. Here is a field in which the most sincere teachers are swept into narrow prejudice by the sheer fire of their enthusiasm and so seem universally to emphasize their differences one from the other when they could as well build upon a meeting ground of common understanding.

James Legge was one of the first great popularisers of Eastern ideas and religion in the West. In this foundational work, he provides a translation of the Dao De Jing/ Tao Te Ching that stands up well today, over a hundred years later.

Laotses Tao Te King ist eine Staatslehre, die zutiefst humanistische Züge trägt. Harmonisches Zusammenleben und Weltfrieden sind das Ziel, Güte, Integrität und Tugend die Mittel dazu.

...y después de comer nos reunimos junto al fuego y le pregunté por sus andanzas. Nos contó muchas historias aquella noche, y también al día siguiente. Pero lo que yo ahora relato nació de la amargura de sus días, aunque él fuera bondadoso, y son relatos que hablan del polvo y la paciencia de su camino. Y cuando nos dejó, tres días después, no sentimos que hubiera partido un huésped, sino más bien que uno de nosotros seguía aún en el jardín y todavía no había entrado.

Cibran, Yakın, Orta ve Uzak Doğu'nun geleneksel öğretilriyle Batı düşüncesini karşılaştırmış, bireysel ve toplumsal olgulara çeşitli sentezler getirmiştir. Yapıtlarında şiirsel bir anlatım kullanmış, doğu düşüncesini batı diliyle yazmıştır. Bu nedenle Cibran'ın eserlerini dinleyenler, bir bakıma peygamberlerin kitaplarını dinliyormuş izlenimine kapılırlar. Tıpkı kutsal kitaplardaki gibi yazım büyük önem taşır. Aforizmalarını sanki meydanlarda yüksek sesle okusunlar diye yazmış gibidir. Her kitapta kurgu aşağı yukarı aynıdır. Bir "öğreten" bir de ondan "öğrenenler" vardır. Konu da az çok aynıdır: Doğa, toplum ve insanoğlu.
