This is a new translation of the Tao Te Ching in contemporary English by Sam Torode. "This is the gift that ancient humans would give us if they saw us today... Wisdom." --Jimmy of the "Bright Insight" YouTube channel, speaking of this edition of the Tao Te Ching. Wise yet worldly, spiritual yet practical, the Tao Te Ching is beloved by seekers all the world over. This new edition features a lucid, poetic translation that makes the Tao Te Ching accessible to contemporary readers.The Tao Te Ching is a series of meditations on the mysterious nature of the Tao--the Way, the guiding light, the very source of all existence. According to Lao Tzu (a name meaning "the old master"), the Tao is found where we would least expect it--not in the strong but in the weak; not in speech but in silence; not in doing but in "not-doing."Also available as a contemplative audiobook.
Keys to Mental Power To "transcend" means to go beyond. What if you could transcend your individual limitations, link with the minds of others--even the mind of the universe itself--and access greater knowledge, wisdom, and creativity? You can. Opening to the Mind reveals Ralph Waldo Emerson's principles for tapping into the expansive powers of the "one mind." The sequel to Living from the Soul, this book rephrases and remixes Emerson's writings on the principles and powers of thought. It concludes with practical advice on work, money, and success. Transcendentalism is not a relic of interest only to academics. As Sam Torode writes in the foreword, "Emerson's philosophy has the power to change the way you view the world and your place in it. It might even change your life." Here are some of the key ideas explored in this book: There is one mind common to all humanity. The ancestor of every act is a thought. Your own mind is your greatest teacher. Thoughts become things. As children of the universe, we are all born creators. We each possess hidden gifts waiting to be expressed. Inspiration is the fuel of constructive thought and action. Wealth is mental and moral. Successful people follow the law of cause and effect. Power is magnified by concentration.
The First book in the series, Body and Gift, begins with the creation of man recorded in Genesis and goes on to explore its teaching on the human body and God's design for marriage
**** America's Master Humorist on Masturbation ****One evening in Paris, 1879, Mark Twain rose to the podium and tackled the touchiest of subjects: masturbation.

This edition includes an introduction and 30 vintage illustrations. Available on Kindle and in paperback from Uncensored Classics.
A memoir about downward mobility, disability and the power of hope. Sam always knew he was starting life on the back foot. When his parents split, Sam, his mother and his brother had to learn to survive in a world not built for single-parent families. Add to that Sam's diagnosis with a form of dwarfism and the odds seemed stacked against them. As surgeons kept breaking and resetting Sam's legs in attempts to keep him walking, disability and poverty collided, and it took all the family's strength not to crumple in the impact. With each change in circumstance - jobs gained and lost, relationships starting and ending, moving between city and country and from school to school - Sam tried to make sense of the adult decisions that kept shaking his world. Armed with hope, the support of friends and teachers, and the unwavering love of his mum, he began to claw his way to a brighter future. In Broke, lawyer and disability advocate Sam Drummond weaves a poignant, stirring and deeply compassionate tale of life on the fringes. It's a story of broken families, broken bodies and a broken system that constantly lets vulnerable Australians down.
What can we do when we feel stuck? Sam Van Eman has found that our spiritual lives need disruptive experiences to jolt and reorient us.

With his competitive spirit still burning, Sam is on the road to Rio, determined to win gold for Australia in the first ever Paralympic triathlon.

Con toda probabilidad, hace ya 5 milenios, fuimos visitados por una raza extraterrestre cuyo testimonio se niega a desaparecer y todavía perdura inmerso en cantidad de mitos, leyendas y cosmogonías. Nibiru tan sólo es una de las múltiples denominaciones que en la antigüedad recibió su lugar de origen: un planeta que recorre incansablemente las profundidades del Sistema Solar, de un modo muy característico. Sam propone un recorrido tras las huellas del astro, aunque más que huellas constituyen una biografía entera, a través del testimonio del pueblo Dogón y los vestigios del antiguo Egipto y la vieja Mesopotamia. Sin duda, un itinerario apasionante que no dejará a nadie indiferente, marcando un antes y un después; porque en esta obra... no hay espacio para cabos sueltos ni se deja nada en el aire.
