Shetty vokste opp i en familie der du kunne bli en av tre ting - en lege, en advokat eller en fiasko. Familien hans var overbevist om at han hadde valgt alternativ tre: i stedet for å delta på universitetseksamen, dro han til India for å bli munk, for å meditere hver dag i fire til åtte timer og vie livet sitt til å hjelpe andre.Etter tre år fortalte en av lærerne hans at han ville ha mer innvirkning på verden hvis han forlot munkenes vei for å dele sin erfaring og visdom med andre. Gjeldstynget, og uten gjenkjennelige ferdigheter på CVen, flyttet han hjem i Nord-London sammen med foreldrene. Shetty gjenopptok kontakten med gamle skolevenner - mange som jobbet for noen av verdens største selskaper - som opplevde enormt stress, press og ulykkelighet, og de inviterte Shetty til å trene dem på velvære, formål og oppmerksomhet. Siden den gang har Shetty blitt en av verdens mest populære tankeledere. I denne inspirerende, myndiggjørende boken trekker Shetty på tiden sin som munk for å vise oss hvordan vi kan fjerne veisperringene for potensialet og kraften vår. Ved å kombinere eldgammel visdom og hans egne rike opplevelser i ashrammet, avslører «Å tenke som en munk» hvordan du kan overvinne negative tanker og vaner, og få tilgang til roen og hensikten som ligger i oss alle. Han forvandler abstrakte leksjoner til råd og øvelser vi alle kan bruke for å redusere stress, forbedre forhold og gi gavene vi finner i oss selv til verden. Shetty beviser at alle kan - og bør - tenke som en munk.JAY SHETTY er en historieforteller, podcaster og tidligere munk. Shetty's visjon er å få visdom til å bli viral. I 2017 ble han utnevnt i Forbes 30 Under 30 for å være en spillveksler i medienes verden.

Here, you'll find answers to questions like:Does God care where I work?Does he have a clear direction for me?What about what I do with my free time or how much rest I get?In these pages, you'll learn that it's ultimately about the reality that what we do matters, just as much as who we are.

De gamle stier: Historien om Menigheten Samfundet, Det Almindelige Samfund og andre sterkttroende tar leseren med på en historisk og teologisk reise gjennom intense vekkelser, avgjørende kirkestiftelser og dramatiske kirkesplittelser fra 1820-tallet og frem til i dag. På bakgrunn av et omfattende kildemateriale gir boken nye perspektiver på de sterkttroendes historie og en nyansert presentasjon av deres teologiske utvikling fra en kraftfull vekkelsesbevegelse på første halvdel av 1800-tallet til dagens innadvendte kirkesamfunn. Boken beskriver en mangfoldig religiøs tradisjon preget av dypt alvor og intellektuell tyngde, samtidig som leseren kommer tett på markante kirkeledere, iherdige predikanter og hengivende troende. I dag kjenner mange i Rogaland og på Agder godt til «lomelendingane» i Kristiansand og Egersund, samt «perane» og «larsane» i Egersund. Disse grupperingene tilhører alle den retningen man tradisjonelt har omtalt som «de sterke» eller «de sterkttroende». Selv om de fleste verk om norsk kirkehistorie kort omtaler de sterkttroende, har det frem til nå ikke vært utgitt et samlet vitenskapelig verk som behandler deres historie fra deres opprinnelse og frem til i dag. De gamle stier: Historien om Menigheten Samfundet, Det Almindelige Samfund og andre sterkttroende representerer dermed det mest omfattende og oppdaterte verket om de sterkttroendes historie som så langt har blitt publisert, og utgjør dermed et viktig bidrag til norsk kirkehistorie. Boken retter seg mot forskere, studenter og andre med interesse for norsk kirkehistorie, religionssosiologi og lukkede kirkesamfunn. Kyrkjefag Profil er en serie fra Institutt for religion, livssyn og kyrkjefag ved Høgskulen i Volda. Denne boken er nr. 41 i serien.

Easwaran's best-selling translation of the Bhagavad Gita is reliable, readable, and profound. Easwaran's 55-page introduction places the Bhagavad Gita in its historical context, presents key concepts, and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. This edition includes chapter introductions, notes and a Sanskrit glossary. Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition in India, learned Sanskrit from a young age, and became a professor of English literature before coming to the West. He is a gifted teacher and an authority on the Indian classics and world mysticism. The Bhagavad Gita opens, dramatically, on a battlefield, as the warrior Arjuna turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. Yet the Gita is not what it seems - it's not a dialogue between two mythical figures at the dawn of Indian history. "e;The battlefield is a perfect backdrop, but the Gita's subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage if he or she is to emerge from life victorious."e;
