Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the religious category of dying to self, this book aims to resolve contemporary issues that relate to detachment. Beginning with an examination of humility in its general notion and as a religious virtue that detachment presupposes, Kellenberger draws on a range of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary sources that address the main characteristics of detachment, including the work of Meister Eckhart, St. Teresa, and Simone Weil, as well as writers as varied as Gregory of Nyssa, Rabi'a al-Adawiyya, Søren Kierkegaard, Andrew Newberg, John Hick and Keiji Nishitani. Kellenberger explores the key issues that arise for detachment, including the place of the individual's will in detachment, the relationship of detachment to desire, to attachment to persons, and to self-love and self-respect, and issues of contemporary secular detachment such as inducement via chemicals. This book heeds the relevance of the religious virtue of detachment for those living in the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical look at the aesthetic encounter with semi-detachment through literature and art When you are half lost in a work of art, what happens to the half left behind? Semi-Detached delves into this state of being: what it means to be within and without our social and physical milieu, at once interacting and drifting away, and how it affects our ideas about aesthetics. The allure of many modern aesthetic experiences, this book argues, is that artworks trigger and provide ways to make sense of this oscillating, in-between place. John Plotz focuses on Victorian and early modernist writers and artists who understood their work as tapping into, amplifying, or giving shape to a suspended duality of experience. The book begins with the decline of the romantic tale, the rise of realism, and John Stuart Mill’s ideas about social interaction and subjective perception. Plotz examines Pre-Raphaelite paintings that take semi-detached states of attention as their subject and novels that treat provincial subjects as simultaneously peripheral and central. He discusses how realist writers such as Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and Henry James show how consciousness can be in more than one place at a time; how the work of William Morris demonstrates the shifting forms of semi-detachment in print and visual media; and how Willa Cather created a form of modernism that connected aesthetic dreaming and reality. Plotz concludes with a look at early cinema and the works of Buster Keaton, who found remarkable ways to portray semi-detachment on screen. In a time of cyberdependency and virtual worlds, when it seems that attention to everyday reality is stretching thin, Semi-Detached takes a historical and critical look at the halfway-thereness that audiences have long comprehended and embraced in their aesthetic encounters.

These 10 Commandments will not only show us how to live a life of Detached Attachment but will also lead us to a life of eternal happiness, Divine love and everlasting peace. It is common for us human beings to get attached to our possessions, to relationships, to the people we love. This is is because of ignorance. This is because we do not resolve to live a life which gives us freedom, which gives us peace, which gives us happiness. If only we learn to live our life following the 10 Commandments of Detached Attachment, we will be attached no more. We will be so detached that while it would seem that we are deeply attached on the outside, deep within, we will be free, we will be detached. Follow these 10 Commandments and live a life of bliss and peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformative insights to help you let go of addictions and attachments and embrace a life of discipline, balance, and freedom. The world in which we are living right now is a world of access. Never before in the history of humanity has it become so much easier to acquire things. Just a click of a few buttons, maybe a phone call, and you can get whatever you want. Due to this ease, the most important aspect of our lives that we need to pay attention to are the kind of choices we make. It has become easy for us to become enticed and tricked. Distractions and temptations are everywhere and nowadays people in technology companies are getting paid to steal our attention. Digital dictatorships are emerging, and our limited and most precious resources — our time, presence, and attention — are in jeopardy. That's why the best antidote to being able to live peacefully in this era of constant access and excess is detachment. Superfluous is quickly becoming the norm, and detachment is the one and the only thing that will set us free. Building healthy boundaries and focusing on the long-term gains, instead of instant gratification, is what will take us far. The Detachment Manifesto will guide you step-by-step on the journey that you need to take from a life of servitude and misery to a life of freedom and lasting joy. You'll learn how to take responsibility for your own well-being and happiness, and empower yourself to get back on the path to growth and self-renewal.
