Curious to know more about how and why life began on Earth, as well as your reason for being here? If so, you will enjoy this ultimate introspective book of knowledge, Connecting to Life’s Compass: You’re not lost – you just think you are, which provides an introduction about the universe and how life began. Life’s Compass is truly a compass, offering a journey of going back, to go forward. It will help you to remember, taking you to the energy source of all life, past the flesh and bones to the reality of what life really means. We have been searching for the meaning of life, but first we have to be able to “understand” fully what the meaning of life encompasses. The truth lies in each and every one of us, but it is buried deep inside. This is where the treasures, stories, and mysteries of life lie. The truth is in the core of our soul, of everyone, and everything. The core is infinite and everywhere. It is in everything that you see separate from you, in every particle, and in every cell, because in material, nothing is left out.

This is a choice. A choice you should make sooner or later. Just like the choice Neo is offered between a red pill and a blue pill to go out of the Matrix. This is the moment of truth and you have to decide now. Will you take the red pill and reject to be prisoned in the Matrix like all the other people in order to walk on your own path? Or will you take the blue pill and stay in the comfortable simulated reality of the Matrix, like all the other silent and obedient millions of people. In other words will you reject the chance of building your own life and walking on your own path easily? Yes, this is just up to you. Every single human being is unique and equipped with different abilities. Each single person has his own way, his own project and his own mission in this world. All you need to do is to think and find that project of your own. One man’s life cannot be simply consisted of eating, drinking, sleeping, populating the world, gathering wealth and prosperity and just living among the given boundaries. Your life should have a more significant purpose and you are probably meant for something bigger. You should get rid of your mood being unhappy for the weekdays but just happy for the weekend. Waiting for weekend, holiday or retirement to live is big nonsense. In fact, you are continuously postponing your life without being aware of that. As if you have an evidence for more enough time to come. You prefer to define your happiness under specific circumstances, and most of the time postpone your happiness instead of living the moment. However, the happiness or unhappiness is actually in your hands. Now, move on. Get into action and stop postponing yourself and your life. Take a step. Today or even right now. Otherwise pour tears after 5 or 10 years for your time and dreams which you could not make come true. Crash your head on the walls as you haven’t done anything about what you could. Whine to your close friends. Get sad. Listen to melancholic music. Complain about the time which is passing so fast. Continue to postpone your goals and dreams to the next years. If you really want to be successful then for sure you will be. You are the only one who can prevent yourself being as successful as in your dreams. Means, you are the only who can stop you.

Parenting is hard work and in today's busy society it's easy for families to get off track, unsure of the direction they're headed. Your Family Compass gives parents real tools for dealing with the challenges that come with raising children birth through the early teen years, and will truly put your family on a healthy path.

"Your Mindful Compass" takes us behind the emotional curtain to see the mechanisms regulating individuals in social systems. There is great comfort and wisdom in knowing we can increase our awareness to manage the swift and ancient mechanisms of social control. We can gain greater flexibility by seeing how social controls work in systems from ants to humans. To be less controlled by others, we learn how emotional systems influence our relationship-oriented brain. People want to know what goes on in families that give rise to amazing leaders and/or terrorists. For the first time in history we can understand the systems in which we live. The social sciences have been accumulating knowledge since the early fifties as to how we are regulated by others. S. Milgram, S. Ashe, P. Zimbardo and J. Calhoun, detail the vulnerability to being duped and deceived and the difficulty of cooperating when values differ. Murray Bowen, M.D., the first researcher to observe several live-in families, for up to three years, at the National Institute of Mental Health. Describing how family members overly influence one another and distribute stress unevenly, Bowen described both how symptoms and family leaders emerge in highly stressed families. Our brain is not organized to automatically perceive that each family has an emotional system, fine-tuned by evolution and "valuing" its survival as a whole, as much as the survival of any individual. It is easier to see this emotional system function in ants or mice but not in humans. The emotional system is organized to snooker us humans: encouraging us to take sides, run away from others, to pressure others, to get sick, to blame others, and to have great difficulty in seeing our part in problems. It is hard to see that we become anxious, stressed out and even that we are difficult to deal with. But "thinking systems" can open the doors of perception, allowing us to experience the world in a different way. This book offers both coaching ideas and stories from leaders as to strategies to break out from social control by de-triangling, using paradoxes, reversals and other types of interruptions of highly linked emotional processes. Time is needed to think clearly about the automatic nature of the two against one triangle. Time and experience is required as we learn strategies to put two people together and get self outside the control of the system. In addition, it takes time to clarify and define one's principles, to know what "I" will or will not do and to be able to take a stand with others with whom we are very involved. The good news is that systems' thinking is possible for anyone. It is always possible for an individual to understand feelings and to integrate them with their more rational brains. In so doing, an individual increases his or her ability to communicate despite misunderstandings or even rejection from important others. The effort involved in creating your Mindful Compass enables us to perceive the relationship system without experiencing it's threats. The four points on the Mindful Compass are: 1) Action for Self, 2) Resistance to Forward Progress, 3) Knowledge of Social Systems and the 4) The Ability to Stand Alone. Each gives us a view of the process one enters when making an effort to define a self and build an emotional backbone. It is not easy to find our way through the social jungle. The ability to know emotional systems well enough to take a position for self and to become more differentiated is part of the natural way humans cope with pressure. Now people can use available knowledge to build an emotional backbone, by thoughtfully altering their part in the relationship system. No one knows how far one can go by making an effort to be more of a self-defined individual in relationships to others. Through increasing emotional maturity, we can find greater individual freedom at the same time that we increase our ability to cooperate and to be close to others.

Responding to the growing importance of the values education movement and the need for institutional guidance in the planning and implementation of values programs, this book offers a practical and conceptual model. A founder and for fifteen years the director of the Center for the Advancement of Values Education (CAVE) at Le Moyne College, Donald J. Kirby draws on that experience to clarify and describe the development, research, and fine-tuning skills required to create this evolving, effective, operational process. He makes the process come alive giving others the power to make it a reality in their own institutions. He documents the leadership, growth process, structure, and institutional support that have enabled the CAVE model to succeed at Le Moyne. Discussing a number of approaches, Kirby offers advice for tailoring the CAVE model to various kinds of institutions, from large universities to medical, law, and business schools. Compass for Uncharted Lives provides a unique practical guide to program development, making this book an invaluable resource for faculty and administrators who want to move from desire to action in terms of values education.
