Are emotions our friends or our enemies? Is it possible to free ourselves from emotional conflict? The Buddhist practice of lojong is a way of letting go of attachment to both “positive” and “negative” emotions and leads to profound insight and compassion, unbounded by our habitual reactions. This book provides a set of tools that you can apply in daily life to gradually relieve your own suffering and extend that relief to everyone you encounter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating look at key aspects of Tibetan Buddhist practice--of interest to many practitioners--is presented in this practical and interesting book. Through demonstrating the interrelationship of the outer inner and secret teachings and a textual analysis of the words of four renowned Dzogchen yogis, it makes clear that the practice of Bodhichitta is a necessary aspect of every practice within Tibetan Buddhism.Unlike other books that present either the teachings of Bodhichitta or the teachings of Dzogchen as their own system of practice, this book presents them not as complementary practices but as a deconstructed inner and outer practices which are fundamentally intertwined. Anyen Rinpoche works to create a new generation of holistic practitioners who value the depth found in the entire spectrum of teachings. While Anyen Rinpoche acknowledges the profundity of the Dzogchen teachings, he dispels the myth that they are an effortless path to liberation and rather shows that they are a progressive path that requires diligence, insight, and the compassionate mind of a Bodhisattva. He presents a style of contemplation that combines Dzogchen meditation on the ultimate view with the generation of Bodhichitta, such as has been taught by Nyingmapa yogis throughout the centuries. This book presents the union of Dzogchen and Bodhichitta not only through philosophy and scripture but also through concrete methods for practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navigate the transformative potential of the student-teacher relationship with advice and personal stories from two female Buddhist teachers with decades of experience working with spiritual guides. Taking a spiritual path that genuinely transforms our lives is no easy task. It engages the deepest parts of ourselves, and there are many pitfalls and ravines that can carry us away on this sometimes treacherous path. A spiritual guide who is genuine and experienced is vital for navigating such obstacles--someone to give perspective, someone to trust, someone to light the way. The teacher-student relationship has been a core part of Buddhism from the time of the Buddha and his first disciples over 2,500 years ago, and it continues to be central to navigating a spiritual path of meditation and reflection. In this intimate collection of personal stories and advice, Allison Choying Zangmo and Carolyn Kanjuro team up to reflect on their experiences as longtime practitioners of Buddhism, their own unique relationships with their partners who are also their spiritual guides, and to celebrate and uphold the transformative power of the student-teacher relationship. As both students and leaders in their Buddhist communities, Allison and Carolyn share insights into how we can successfully interpret traditional Buddhist understandings of spiritual mentorship for today’s world. From guidance on how to find a teacher to how to face issues of miscommunication and confrontation, Kanjuro and Zangmo help readers consider their own goals and emotional boundaries as a starting point for building a positive new spiritual connection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you trust the American healthcare system? Ripple of Change is a captivating story of a doctor and patient who lost trust and suffered moral injury in a dysfunctional healthcare system–yet still healed. Through a combined wellness journey, Todd R. Otten, M.D. and Joshua J. Judy, Patient, propose simple, elegant solutions by introducing Our Quadruple Aim (OQA). OQA offers an impressive prescription for change for EVERYONE. The reader will be inspired and moved by the poignant Yin and Yang transparency of doctor and patient. But most importantly, their story demonstrates what healthcare can and should aspire to. If you’re an American healthcare consumer, we’re speaking to you. Health care providers are burned out and subjected to moral injury Patients feel ignored and are frustrated Target Audience: the American healthcare consumer Follow our blended wellness journey and find yours Help us transform healthcare with a Ripple of Change Why is this book needed right now? It’s simple. Everyone has been a patient–yes, even doctors and nurses get colonoscopies. We hear about the Great Resignation. The Quiet Quitting. The frustration. While health care employees have faced significant burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic, the desire to opt out of one's chosen profession is happening across many industries. Why? Are we standing before a precipice, embarking upon a chance to better understand these phenomena and its meaning? Absolutely. Our Quadruple Aim is a four-pronged approach to delivering healthcare: Patient Experience, Quality Care, Lower Costs, and Provider Wellness. A multifaceted driver, it incorporates key stakeholders, and aligns with value-based care. When properly implemented: everyone wins. Healthcare has metastasized into a business model. Clinical leaders often play second fiddle. This has led to increasing burdens on the people actually delivering care and crushing patients financially. As a result, burnout rates are at unacceptable levels and patients are dysphoric. We believe if healthcare leaders embed Our Quadruple Aim into their culture, we can start to mend many wounds. So who is responsible for delivering? Shouldn’t we all be responsible? Patients, doctors, nurses, administrations, society at large… hence the “Our” addition to the Quadruple Aim. The “Our” emphatically states that we all are responsible. Intentionally nebulous? Perhaps, but medicine is a world of gray. Our Quadruple Aim is an opportunity to right many wrongs through a: Ripple of Change. The book will contain evidence-based medicine, research, editorials, recent news, humor, poetry, inspiring quotes, and a blended story of healing. The intent is to motivate conversations, provide the courage to speak up and challenge the status quo. Our hope is that thousands cast their stone, transforming ripples into: a tsunami of change.
