ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 'BEST BOOKS TO DIP INTO THIS SUMMER' 'The Bowie you thought you knew is recast completely' The Spectator 'A transfixing look at David Bowie's life through a spiritual lens... fresh and revealing' Publishers Weekly How David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation. In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked. From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.

David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God

Praise for the work of David Guterson"Here's the admirable thing. His books keep getting better." - Bruce Barcott, New York Times Book Review"With empathy as deep as Puget Sound and his usual graceful prose, Guterson does a masterful job." - Timothy Egan, author of National Book Award winner The Worst Hard Time"Guterson's particular gift is for description. . . . [He] has fashioned something haunting and true." - Pico Iyer, Time"Guterson is the kind of writer about whom people used to say, when there were such things, 'I'd read him, even if he wrote the phone book.' Every sentence has a graceful weight and meter and is illumined by a subtle intelligence that makes his descriptions arresting but never showy." - Scott Turow, New York Times Book Review

The Way to Self-Mastery

Shaolin Spirit

In a world of endless distractions and quick fixes that leave us wanting, beloved Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön, author of When Things Fall Apart, reveals why true freedom arises not in escape but in developing our natural capacity for presence, openness, and wholehearted acceptance. What if the freedom you seek isn’t found by changing your circumstances but by embracing life exactly as it is? Pema Chödrön goes back to her very foundations in her latest and possibly most important book. With the spiritual classic The Myth of Freedom as the touchstone, Pema invites us to look beyond the “myth of freedom”—the idea that we can escape discomfort—and to work compassionately and wisely with what keeps us stuck. Drawing from the seminal work from her beloved teacher Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Pema explores how meditation, mindfulness, and radical self-acceptance can transform our struggles, neuroses, and pain into gateways to awakening. “These were the teachings,” Pema says, “that inspired me most in my early years of practicing Buddhism. They continue to inspire me now and have influenced all the teachings I’ve given over the years.” With her characteristic humor, practical wisdom, and compassionate insight, she shows us how to make friends with our minds, work skillfully with emotions, and open our hearts to the richness of human experience. Inspiring and accessible, this book is an essential companion for anyone longing for genuine freedom, clarity, and connection in a world of uncertainty and change.

Another Kind of Freedom

Die ASEAN-Region ist in kultureller, politischer, religiöser und wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht sehr divers. Auch wenn die ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) an die Europäische Union erinnert, so sind die Unterschiede doch erheblich. Die Region erlebt einen dynamischen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung, der mit den bekannten ökologischen und sozialen Herausforderungen einhergeht, zusätzlich verstärkt durch den Klimawandel. Anders als in Europa vollzieht sich der gesellschaftliche Wandel von agrarischen zu wissensbasierten Gesellschaften in nur ein bis zwei
Generationen. Die ASEAN-Strukturen und -Politiken nehmen auch die Berufsbildung in den Fokus. Regionale Initiativen und Instrumente sind etabliert. Sie haben die Berufsbildung insgesamt oder einzelne Bereiche wie die Berufsbildungsforschung und das Berufsbildungspersonal zum Gegenstand.

Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies

An ideal introduction for students new to Japanese philosophy and aesthetics, Phenomenology of Tea invites readers into a dialogue throughout the fascinating aesthetic worlds of the Japanese tea ceremony, delving into its rich history, its philosophical influences and religious backgrounds all synthesized into a ritual, which brings Japanese culture to one of its highest expressions. 

Tea guests begin their tour by discussing the deep intercultural challenges with foreign intellectual and artistic traditions, considering phenomenology and Kyoto School philosophy as means for bridging Eastern and Western worlds. Throughout the journey, the astonishing elements of the ceremony provoke discussion on the aesthetics of landscape gardening, of stone, vegetation, and water, and their philosophical significance in Buddhism, Daoism and Shintoism. Once inside the hut, the profound beauty of tea is revealed through traditional aesthetic practices of calligraphy, poetry, architecture, flower arranging, and pottery. As the plenitude of philosophic and aesthetic experience culminates in the first sip of matcha, readers are transported by way of Buddhist ideas into the world of Japanese cinema, where all ideas about the ceremony dissolve into emptiness. 

 Featuring a conversational style, discussion questions, further readings, and meticulous illustrations, this book also provides a phenomenological reading of the tea ceremony, and offers new avenues for research and teaching in the field.

Phenomenology of Tea

Transform life’s difficult moments into opportunities for growth with this clear and direct guide to Tibetan lojong, or mind training.​ Take the Tibetan Buddhist approach to mind training with lojong, a practice of simple contemplations and pithy&nbsp;“slogans”&nbsp;to train the mind in enlightened compassion, or bodhichitta. A centuries old, time-tested method, lojong remains readily applicable to daily life.&nbsp; One of the most essential lojong texts is The Seven-Point Mind-Training, a series of slogans composed by Tibetan master Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje (1102–76). In this straightforward guide to The Seven Points, the renowned Buddhist teacher Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo unpacks each of Chekawa’s lojong slogans and illuminates their relevance to modern life. Jetsunma’s teachings will allow you to:&nbsp;&nbsp; <ul><li>Discover a wellspring of compassion to guide you in your daily life;&nbsp;</li><li>Gain a new understanding on&nbsp;core Buddhist concepts like the preciousness of human life, impermanence, karma, and rebirth;</li><li>Establish or develop a meditation practice for both tranquility and insight into the nature of mind;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Work with the totality of your life as an opportunity for spiritual practice and growth—even the most difficult experiences of adversity, illness, and despair.</li></ul>

Go deeper than superficial self-care with the religious secret sauce you didn’t know you were missing "An emotionally and intellectually honest alternative for people who are seeking meaning beyond generic spirituality"—Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, author of Real Self-Care In the chaos of today’s world, we’re all searching for meaning. The wellness industry has sold us a promise that we can find it if we just buy the right products, attend the right retreats, and follow the right celebrity gurus. But is this true? Or are we picking and choosing from a self-care salad bar in ways that satisfy our hunger but don’t truly nourish us? When we approach practices like yoga and ayahuasca as fitness routines and life hacks, we miss out on the sacred wisdom they have to offer us. But by digging into the real and often ancient religious traditions behind these practices, from Buddhism to Christianity and beyond, we can make them more meaningful, ethical, and effective—without the often unpleasant baggage of joining an organized religion. In this engaging and deeply personal book, award-winning scholar and writer Liz Bucar embarks on a quest to get to the heart of “spiritual but not religious” activities from detox diets to sound baths. As she tries out each practice for herself, she asks how we can get more out of it by tuning out the hype and taking the religious meaning behind it seriously—with emotionally profound and often surprising results. Whether it’s as simple as setting an intention for a yoga asana or as complex as reevaluating what a “higher power” is, it’s time to understand, experience, and simply get more out of our spiritual practices. It’s time to dig deeper with Beyond Wellness.
