I used to say the most important is how we relate to any situation we face. Our attitude is very important. “Man’s Search for Meaning” gives me more power to invite others to pursue own life sense and practicing its fulfillment. Viktor Frankl shows that practicing freedom of choice and dignity was possible even in conditions of Auschwitz where Frankl spent many long months of 1940s.
The book gently combines the camp’s stories of the author with his introduction of Logotherapy. Re the latter, the following list of tenets represents Frankl’s basic principles of Logotherapy:
Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones.
Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
We have inalienable freedom to find meaning.
We can find meaning in life in three different ways, by:
Creating a work or doing a deed;
Experiencing something or encountering someone;
The attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering.

“Attention determines direction, and direction determines destination.” – this sentence perfectly summarizes the book of Andy Stanley. The book is simple and true. As written by a pastor it refers to the Christian teaching and the Bible on many pages. The principle of choosing good paths to reach good destinations is an universal truth and the book is applicable to the readers independent from their religion. Read the rest of this entry »

I bought this book for my daughter. After being so much inspired by The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (written by Sean’s father) I wished my teenager would absorb some of this social magic. Daughter read her paperback version while I listened to the audiobook in the car. We both liked it very much!

I liked the way Merton presented ways of spiritual growth deeply based on the Christian tradition. Included references to the Christian mystics, among others the Desert Fathers. The message of Merton goes directly to the readers’ heart encouraging the change to take place from in out. Read the rest of this entry »

I consider Shinzen Young’s audiobook the best on the meditation topic. This audio is total of about 16 hours. Couple of hours speech, then 2 meditations of about 40 minutes each, and then next speeches and then meditations etc. I think this is worth consideration if you need some assistance in enhancing your meditation skills.

The book puts seven chakras on the social and health context. Myss tries to explain body problems according to one of the energy centers being disturbed in a particular unhealthy situation. I found “Energy Anatomy” interesting and easy listening book for my daily two-hours-long commuting. Additionally to the chakras-health issues, Caroline Myss also presented stories from her personal life including her experience as a medical intuitive, studies in theology and her professional transition from a publisher’s job into the teacher in spirituality and energy fields.
Here are basic pillars how Myss explained the key roles of the seven chakras:
The 1st Chakra: The Tribal Database.
The 2nd Chakra: Control.
The 3rd Chakra: Integrity And Honor.
The 4th Chakra: The Center Of Your Reality.
The 5th Chakra: Willpower.
The 6th Chakra: Wisdom.
The 7th Chakra: Grace. Read the rest of this entry »
