Francesc Miralles | Héctor García According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day? Languages: English, Dutch (and...

Ananda through Tina Louise Spalding Because you do not accept what you are, an immortal being having a creative experience with body, you cannot find that which you seek so desperately. Your misteachings about sexuality and God keep you from integrating sexual energies with God energies in any meaningful way, and so the path to heaven on earth through blissful sexual union eludes you to a great extent. The sexual energies of the ego are leading you to a dark and dangerous precipice, and we wish to call you back — back to love and the loving, kind, fulfilling, and glorifying expressions of spiritual love, your true salvation. We are here to teach the way to divine bliss, and we know you are scared — scared to lie naked caressing your lover with rapt attention and honor. We know you are scared to kiss and kiss and connect, to feel such deep connection and pleasure that the ego starts to get very nervous, sensing the threat to the well-guarded and limited access to your heart that it deems to be safe. We have never seen more hurt and lonely people anywhere than on this planet at the moment. You are all in such a state that we have come from far and wide, from different times and places, to teach you how to relieve the deep suffering you are in. And indeed, it is in the bedroom, in your relationship to yourself, your lover, and God, that these hurts began. You cannot lead a passionless day and have a passion-filled night; it will not happen. Give love all day,...

Michael Pilarczyk wrote a personal story about consciousness, meaning and insight based on his own experiences. The book is about understanding your own mindset and how you can effectively change it to improve the quality of your life.  What does your best life look like. Have you ever thought about that? What do you really want? Discover your possibilities, get the best out of yourself and make your dreams come true. Why don’t you sometimes do what you would like to do? They are limiting thoughts that keep you from doing what you really want. Michael explains how you can break those thought patterns by reprogramming your mindset. This book is about life questions. Who are you? Why do you do what you do? What does your best life look like? What do you really want?  Master Your Mindset contains a self-insight questionnaire and a description of Michael’s twelve-step strategy.  Language:...

Jan Bommerez  We live in a world full of ‘frogs’, who are actually ‘princes’ or ‘princesses’, but who defend their frog identity tooth and nail. Isn’t that remarkable? Need less, more FLOW would like to kiss the frog and awaken the prince or princess in you.  The question is, will you let yourself be kissed?  That question is not unjustified, because the frog mainly consists of defense mechanisms that originated in our childhood, and is not easily kissed. The prince or princess in you is what remains when the defense mechanisms are gone, and our hearts are totally open: we are then our essential self: we are in FLOW. In FLOW you spontaneously experience love and gratitude: you are happy for no reason.  Need less, more FLOW is the hero’s journey, which is what most myths and fairy tales are about. The price is high, but the reward makes the journey more than worth it. You are what you are and you become what you think. It is our thinking that hides our true essence. Therefore, read this book with an open mind and put off the immediate judgment and resistance that will sometimes arise. Read with your heart, not your brain.  Language:...
