UNA OBRA MAESTRA DE LA ESPIRITUALIDAD QUE SIGUE SIENDO DE LECTURA OBLIGADA EN NUESTROS DÍAS Como psicoterapeuta tradicional, el doctor Brian Weiss quedó asombrado y escéptico cuando una de sus pacientes comenzó a recordar traumas de vidas pasadas que parecían ser la clave de sus pesadillas y ataques de ansiedad recurrentes. Sin embargo, su escepticismo se desvaneció cuando ella comenzó a canalizar mensajes desde el “espacio entre vidas”, que contenían revelaciones notables sobre su familia y su hijo fallecido. Mediante la terapia de regresión, pudo curar a la paciente y embarcarse en una nueva fase más significativa de su propia carrera y de su vida. Este libro sigue siendo tan provocador y atemporal como lo fue cuando se publicó por primera vez: es único, revolucionario y profundamente conmovedor, pues contiene importantes mensajes de sabiduría y de conocimiento. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The true story about a psychiatrist, his young patient, and a regression therapy that changed their lives forever. It is a meeting point between science and metaphysics.   Dr. Brian Weiss, head of psychiatry at the Mount Sinai hospital in Miami, narrates in this his first book, the astounding events that change his life and his vision of what is psychotherapy. Catherine, one of his patients, while under hypnosis was able to find many of her past lives and there, found the origins of various of the traumas that she was currently going through.   Catherine was cured, but something even more important happened: she managed to get in touch with the Masters, higher spirits that live in between two lives; they passed down important messages of wisdom and knowledge to her. This deeply moving story and a meeting point between science and metaphysics, was an extraordinary best seller and continues to be a must-read in a troubled world, especially for those who seek spiritual guidance.

An eccentric classic of Zen poetry When Zen master Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481) was appointed headmaster of the great temple at Kyoto, he lasted nine days before denouncing the rampant hypocrisy he saw among the monks there. He in turn invited them to look for him in the sake parlors of the Pleasure Quarters. A Zen monk-poet-calligrapher-musician, he dared to write about the joys of erotic love, along with more traditional Zen themes. He was an eccentric and genius who dared to defy authority and despised corruption. Although he lived during times plagued by war, famine, rioting, and religious upheaval, his writing and music prevailed, influencing Japanese culture to this day. "Ikkyu scandalized the Zen community of his day and is likely to scandalize some readers even now—his short poems are simultaneously bawdy, abrupt, vulgar, and reverential... It is impossible not to love the velocity and variety of his verse."—The Philadelphia Inquirer "Stephen Berg is exactly the right poet to have translated these poems."—Hayden Carruth, The Hudson Review "A deeply sensual man, Ikkyu had little patience for the fussiness of monastic life and ritual... What is especially appealing about Ikkyu's poetry is the way his sensuality infuses his Zen sensibility."—American Book Review Stephen Berg (1934-2014) was the founder and editor of American Poetry Review.

Become great at performing long-form improv! We skip the basics and get into advanced topics like: being truly present, being authentic, dealing with difficult performers, being actually funny (!) and the rarely discussed but essential skill of being healthy. "Will Hines was my first improv teacher. He's not an improv nut, but he is, you know? He has perspective. " - Ilana Glazer, Broad City "Will is one of those teachers that makes you feel like you have something special inside yourself- that you can possibly change the world. " - Abbi Jacobson, Broad City "Despite being a mild mannered man from Connecticut, it's fair to consider Will one of improv's war chiefs, or maybe witch doctors. I'm not sure.

Downtown White Police: Demonizing the Alpha Cop, Glorifying Thugs, and Militarizing Law Enforcement is a take-no-prisoners exposé of the forces at work in American society that are leading us down the dangerous path to a militarized police force. Former police officer James Lancia excuses no one for what is happening in the nation today. Rather, through a riveting blend of real-life cop stories and social and political analysis, he explains the situation like only an insider can. Downtown White Police discloses not only the disturbing fact that our police are becoming militarized, but also explains why this troubling trend is happening—and why it has little to do with race. What’s more, Lancia reveals how the media, the entertainment industry, politicians, and social justice advocates are shamelessly hyping the news and creating a false paradigm that demonizes the alpha cop and glorifies the criminals in order to fundamentally change law enforcement into an agent of the federal government. Whether you’re concerned about your own safety or about the future of our democracy, your eyes will be opened to the reality of crime and the need for citizens to act in order to preserve our civil liberties—before it´s too late.

What is money? How does it work, and what effects does it have on our society and economy?

2019 Reprint of 1963 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. This book is an analysis of the causes of the Great Depression of 1929. The author concludes that the Depression was caused not by laissez-faire capitalism, but by government intervention in the economy. The author argues that the Hoover administration violated the tradition of previous American depressions by intervening in an unprecedented way and that the result was a disastrous prolongation of unemployment and depression so that a typical business cycle became a lingering disease.

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER  Dr. Mark Hyman presents the definitive guide to reversing disease, easing pain, and living younger longer that “will revolutionize how we approach aging” (Jay Shetty, author of 8 Rules of Love).  Aging has long been considered a normal process.

In Young Forever, Dr. Mark Hyman challenges us to reimagine our biology, health, and the process of aging. To uncover the secrets to longevity, he explores the biological hallmarks of aging, their causes, and their consequences—then shows us how to overcome them with simple dietary, lifestyle, and emerging longevity strategies. You’ll learn: * How to turn on your body’s key longevity switches * How to reduce inflammation and support the health of your immune system * How to exercise, sleep, and de-stress for healthy aging * How to eat your way to a long life, featuring Dr. Hyman’s Pegan Diet * Which supplements are right for you * Where the research on aging is headed * And much more With dozens of science-based strategies and tips, Young Forever is a revolutionary, practical guide to creating and sustaining health—for life. "an impressive guidebook to health and longevity.” —David A. Sinclair, PhD, New York Times-bestselling author of Lifespan “Anyone pursuing a long life of health and happiness must read this book. . . It will give you hope for living your best life for a very long time.” —Wim Hof, New York Times-bestselling author of The Wim Hof Method

FOREWORD BY JAY BHATTACHARYA, MD, PHD You remember the story: some locations did better than others on Covid because those places followed the rules, and others foolishly ignored them. Covid spread was your fault, you science hater! There is precisely zero evidence behind any aspect of this morality play, which is demolished by this book. Diary of a Psychosis is different from all other books on Covid: it traces the development of the government response as it happened, bit by bit, and subjects it to relentless scrutiny: did any of it do any good? It thereby preserves some of the crucial day-to-day details that other chronicles have forgotten. And it's those little details of the bizarre behavior of those years that, presented together, preserve for the reader the full horror of the madness of those dark days. The more people know the information in this book, the harder it will be for the ruling classes to do this to us again.

COMPTON CROOK AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL. NEBULA AWARD FINALIST. New Science Fiction Adventure Series! National Bestseller in trade paperback. An agent for a spy organization uncovers an alien alliance in nearby interstellar space—an alliance that will soon involve humanity in politics and war on a galactic scale. 2105, September: Intelligence Analyst Caine Riordan uncovers a conspiracy on Earth’s Moon—a history-changing clandestine project—and ends up involuntarily cryocelled for his troubles. Twelve years later, Riordan awakens to a changed world. Humanity has achieved faster-than-light travel and is pioneering nearby star systems. And now, Riordan is compelled to become an inadvertent agent of conspiracy himself. Riordan’s mission: travel to a newly settled world and investigate whether a primitive local species was once sentient—enough so to have built a lost civilization. However, arriving on site in the Delta Pavonis system, Caine discovers that the job he’s been given is anything but secret or safe. With assassins and saboteurs dogging his every step, it's clear that someone doesn't want his mission to succeed. In the end, it takes the broad-based insights of an intelligence analyst and a matching instinct for intrigue to ferret out the truth: that humanity is neither alone in the cosmos nor safe. Earth is revealed to be the lynchpin planet in an impending struggle for interstellar dominance, a struggle into which it is being irresistibly dragged. Discovering new dangers at every turn, Riordan must now convince the powers-that-be that the only way for humanity to survive as a free species is to face the perils directly—and to fight fire with fire.
