"Причина, по которой вы встаете утром" – так приблизительно переводится японское слово "икигай". В более широком понимании оно означает "смысл жизни" или "предназначение". Тот, кто обладает икигай, проживет долгую, здоровую и счастливую жизнь. Так считают жители японской деревни Охими на Окинаве. Она известна на весь мир тем, что именно здесь люди живут почти до 100 лет. Изучая этот феномен, исследователи пришли к выводу: секрет долгожительства действительно скрыт в том, что человек видит цель своей жизни и знает, ради чего живет. Убедиться в этом вы можете сами, найдя свой личный икигай после прочтения этой книги.

Tanto el psicoanálisis como la espiritualidad se adentran en un espacio sagrado: el interior del ser humano. Ambas son una forma de contemplación. Roberto Longhi comparte su experiencia psicoanalítica y señala sugerentes afinidades entre las sesiones de psicoanálisis y la meditación, y va integrando diversas polaridades: dos sujetos (yo y no-yo), dos mediaciones (palabra y silencio), dos estados (plenitud y vacío). Todo ello no lo hace de una forma sistemática, sino que va apareciendo, como las flores silvestres que uno va encontrando a medida que recorre un paisaje lleno de sutiles ondulaciones.

Philosophy is the foundation of all of societies' thoughts, and notions of the famous thinkers percolate out to the masses. Most of philosophy has been detrimental to society because it is not thought through. War is stupid, regardless of how many great thinkers think it good. Poverty is a stupid scourge to our society, regardless of it being regarded as a necessary evil. This is a work of philosophy, but unlike historical philosophies, it does not give excuses for society as it is now, but gives plain and serious vision to how it can be.

The robotic revolution is here and there's no going back. From the way we raise our children, to our work settings, to our governments, and even our wars, the quick-fix, instant result society is roiling our world. This audiobook dwells on the miracle of the unknown. It is an intimate trek into the evolving spirituality of awe - the humility and wonder and sense of adventure toward life. Can we preserve awe - the arguable "heart" of humanity - in spite of and even in light of our technologies? There is no more critical problem for our age.

There is a famous Zen story about a disciple, Riko, who once asked his master, Nansen, to explain to him the old Zen koan of the goose in the bottle. Namely, if a man puts a gosling into a bottle and feeds the gosling through the bottle's neck until it grows and becomes a goose - and then there is simply no more room inside the bottle - how can the man get it out without killing the goose or breaking the bottle? In response, Nansen shouts, "Riko!" and gives a great clap with his hands.

Is meditation an escape from - or a solution to - our psychological problems? Is the use of antidepressants counter to spiritual practice? Does a psychological approach to meditation reduce spirituality to "self-help"? What can Zen and psychoanalysis teach us about the problems of the mind and suffering?

From Loving One to One Love: Transforming Relationships Through A Course in Miracles is not another how-to-fix-it guide to relationships. The Course's take on relationships is radically different from that of the rest of the world. Relationships are not really about "love" if by love we mean idealization and specialness. They are not merely agreements negotiated between two parties to promote survival and contentment. Rather, according to the Course, relationships are classrooms for enlightenment: for breaking the ego's grip on the mind and awakening to the true Self.
