Alexander, Bill,
A Man's Book of the Spirit: Daily Meditations for a Mindful
Life. We are taught to be strong - not to cry or feel. We
courageously blaze trails through the wilderness, oblivious to the
beauty surrounding us. Our spirits are lost in a maze of
misapprehensions, false pressures, and misleading media messages
extolling the virtues of power and success. It is time for man to
get in touch with his truest and most sensitive nature - to
explore the realities of his life and his history. Here is the
guidance and empowering affirmation you need to tune out the
deafening clamor and focus on healing. Here is comprehension and
truth that will enable you to achieve your greatest potentials - a
success by your own stars, a lover in your own right...and a
possessor of untold inner riches. Avon, Books, 1350 Avenue of the

Alexander,
William, A Father's Book of the Spirit: A
legacy of love for fathers and sons and the generations that
follow them. Daily Meditations. What is a father? A
man is called a father the day his firstborn enters this world. In
truth, the quest for fatherhood has just begun, and it will last a
lifetime. Father is the proud young man filled with joy at the
sight of his newborn and the exhausted, frustrated caretaker of a
baby, wide awake at 3 a.m. As the child grows, Father is the rule
maker, and the rule breaker. He is the invincible hero to his son;
the knight in shining armor to his daughter. Father is all
powerful, all knowing, all wise and wonderful...until his child
reaches adolescence. Now Father is patient and kind, loving and
proud, helpful and understanding. Everything he wished his own
father would be. Everything he wishes he could be. And when his
son becomes a father, he will understand. Here for every man
striving to be the father he always wanted to be, are daily
meditations offering understanding, compassion, reassurance and
spiritual guidance on life's most exciting and rewarding journey -
that of becoming a father. Avon 1997, 800.238.0658

Berger, Bradley Ian
& Kalev Pehme, Men are: A Book of Inspiration. Men
wake up! This book is for you. We men must start to
take a positive outlook on our lives. We must do it ourselves; no
one is going to do it for us. Television, radio, newspapers,
magazines and books have pummeled us enough. A day doesn't pass
where there isn't a story bashing men. It's in vogue and this is
the alternative. By reducing men to stereotypes, men are made
adversaries to everyone. Men are finding it harder and harder to
make friendships, to be lovers, and to fulfill their familial
duties. In the age of Men Bashing, men have been taught that men
lack sensitivity and have primitive emotions; that they
consciously and unconsciously use their sexuality not as an
expression of love, but as a desire for domination; that to be a
man is something less than human. Young men, in particular, need
to know that to be a man is good. A fulfilling meaningful life as
a man is a goal to strive for. To be a good man means to be a good
human being. This book is meant to serve as an inspiration to men.
It consists of words describing men. Inspirational words that
state what men are and what they are capable of being. This book
is for you! Self Published, 11 Oak Valley Drive, Glen Head,

Boykin, Keith, Respecting the
Soul: Daily reflections for black lesbians and gays.
We're all looking for answers to life's questions. We all want to
reach our goals, maintain a loving relationship, and strengthen
our ties to family and community. But how do we face our doubts
and fears? How do we reconcile the prejudice of others with
the truth we know about ourselves? And how do we deal with
the obstacles that stand in our way? The primary challenges facing
black lesbians and gays are internal, not external. The deepest
wounds are usually self-inflicted, leaving behind the scars of
internalized racism and homophobia. With a unique insight for each
day of the calendar year, this book can help change this reality
by provoking, inspiring, and empowering you, sensitizing your
families and friends, and sharing the wisdom and experience of
hundreds of well-known people who have contributed to our
collective history. This book gives you the encouragement you need
to respect your own soul. Avon Books, 1999,

Get Out of Your Thinking Box: 365 ways to brighten

D Reed Publishers, 1994
Dreamer, Oriah Mountain, The
Invitation. One night, after an unsatisfying evening at a
party, the author wrote the start of this book. By the light of
her streetlight, she began, "It doesn't interest me what you do
for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to
dream of meeting your heart's longing...I want to know if you have
touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by
life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of
further pain..." Her profound invitation became the framework for
this wise and inspiring book. Chapter by chapter, the author uses
passages from her "Invitation" to welcome readers into a life that
is more soul fulfilling and passionate, and has far greater truth
and integrity. In a sense, she invites readers to get a life
instead of buying into a lifestyle. Each chapter ends with a
guided meditation specific to the theme of the chapter, such as
"The Joy" and "The Failure." Despite her suspiciously New
Age-sounding name, she is a highly grounded, practical, and honest
writer. This fresh and beautifully packaged book is destined for
great acclaim in the realm of spiritual inspiration.

collected from the growing number of "kindness experts" in the
world who demonstrate the incredible power one tiny act can have.

Kabat-Zinn, Jon, Wherever You Go There You
Are: Mindfulness meditation in everyday life. Mindfulness
is considered the heart of Buddhist meditation but its essence is
universal and of deep practical benefit to all. In essence,
mindfulness is about wakefulness. Our minds are such that they are
often more asleep than awake to the unique beauty and
possibilities of each present moment as it unfolds. While it is in
the nature of our mind to go on automatic pilot and lose touch
with the only time we actually have to live, to grow, to feel, to
love, to learn, to give shape to things, to heal, our mind also
holds the deep innate capacity to help us awaken to our moments
and use them to advantage for ourselves, for others, and for the
world we inhabit. Just as a garden requires attending to if we
hope to cultivate flowers and not have it be overrun with weeds,
mindfulness also requires regular cultivating. In this book, the
author maps out a simple path for cultivating mindfulness in one's
own life. It speaks both to those coming to meditation for the
first time and to longtime practitioners, anyone who cares deeply
about reclaiming the richness of his or her moments. Hyperion,

issues that men face in their lives. The quotes in this book are
wonderful! Having become a mini-expert on quotes, I am
thrilled to say that most were new to me and are powerful and to
the point. Rarely have I seen such a rich and delicious variety of
memorable quotes. And, they are used beautifully to lead into
exquisite tidbits of thought-provoking and soul-stirring words for
daily reflection for men. I am glad the men I know will have the
possibility of this little book in their lives and I am glad that
I will have a new gift item that can offer doors of options from
the self-abuse and self-destruction patterns I see lived out in
many of the men for whom I care a great deal. May we as men and
women find new, full, life--enhancing ways to live with ourselves,

Lewis, Richard,
Living By Wonder: The imaginative life of childhood.
Too often a child's imagination is seen as merely a passing phase
of childhood which has little or no relation to the real work of
learning. Too often we educate the imagination out of children
thinking it has no practical role in how they ultimately perceive
and create their individual worlds. This is a collection of essays
by the author, a teacher and writer, which considers the life of
the imagination as a necessary part of every child's growing
consciousness. In each of these thoughtful essays, he explores the
diverse facets of a child's imagination and its rich expression
through language-making, play, art, stories and poetry. Whether he
is observing the laughter of children or reflecting on their
questions of "why?"; whether watching children catch fireflies or
search for their solitude; whether seeing them dance or run
through the waters of a sprinkler, what becomes clear to the
reader is the vitality of imagination as the source of our
learning and understanding. Addressed to anyone concerned with the
emotional, spiritual, and intellectual life of children (and
adults), this book makes a compelling and timely statement. Its
importance lies not only in its application to children, but in
its exploration of values which we, as adults, need to keep alive
in ourselves and in the culture at large. A Parabola Book in

moral and religious uncertainty - yet his twenty-year reign has
been historically remembered as a golden age of justice, logic,
moderation and consistency. Composed while on military campaign in
his later years, the meditations are more than the spiritual diary
of a remarkable leader and philosophic sage. Serious, clear-headed
and insightful, these reflections provide an anchor in turbulent
times. As relevant today as when first penned, his wisdom has

Moore, Thomas, Meditations: On
the monk who dwells in daily life, what every man needs to
know. Sometimes in their chanting monks will land upon a note
and sing it in florid fashion, one syllable of text for fifty
notes of chant. Melisma, they call it. Living a melismatic life in
imitation of plain-chant, we may stop on an experience, a place, a
person, or a memory and rhapsodize in imagination. Some like to
meditate or contemplate melismatically, while others prefer to
draw, build, paint, or dance whatever their eye has fallen upon.
Living one point after another is one form of experience, and it
can be emphatically productive. But stopping for melisma gives the
soul its reason for being. Harper, 1994 ISBN 0-06-017223-1

Osho, What is Meditation? In these
pages, a thoroughly modern mystic answers the question in dozens
of thoroughly modern ways. Meditation is fun, he says, a
celebration and relaxation. Meditation is scientific, he says
elsewhere, an experiment and a transformation. Everyone who has
wondered what meditation is will find that the author paints the
answer with a broad, inviting brush and with a remarkable variety
of colors. And those who have already begun to explore meditation
will find their understanding deepened and enriched by the
author's expansive view. Element, 1995,

Parker, Mina, Half Full: Meditations
on hope, optimism and the things that matter. Filling up our
metaphorical glasses makes our glasses more full. The best way to
feel like we've got a lot to give in this world is to give a lot.
The more we count our blessings, the more blessings we have to
count. This book is full of safe advice from a young writer who
knows, first hand, what to do when looking at the bright side
fails. She puts her fingers in her ears and sings loudly until she
can't hear her own negative messages. So sit back, put your feet
up. Take some time to get to know your inner optimist. And, if you
inner pessimist tries to take over, follow this simple procedure:
the glass is half empty anyway, so drink it, or dump it over
someone's head. Shake things up, exaggerate your troubles until
you can laugh them away. The next time you're tempted to daydream
- do it! Each of the mini-essays or meditations is an
invitation to look at your life. Based on wise quotes from an
eclectic collection of folks, these little essays speak to our
hearts and minds, our funny bones and optimist muscles. This book
gives us a jump start on a bad day. Red Wheel/Weiser, www.redwheelweiser.com,

Rosemond, John,
Because I Said So: 366 insightful and
thought-provoking reflections of parenting and family life.
The author's latest work covers every conceivable aspect of
parenting from Allowances to Sibling rivalry with the same
characteristic wit and practical wisdom that millions of parents
have cherished in his six previous books. This day-to-day
collection contains 366 tips or "reflections" for battle-worn
parents, one per dated page. True to form, the reflections are
often humorous, always commonsensical, and always
thought-provoking. Taken together, they illuminate the complex web
that exists between child rearing, marriage and the family. The
author's philosophy harkens back to a simpler time when "because I
said so" was the only reason a parent ever needed to give a child.
Nothing has changed. Successful parenting still calls for the same
basic ingredients that worked for thousands of previous
generations. By following his old-fashioned, common sense advice,
parents can avoid raising children who are spoiled and sassy, and
deal effectively with daily problems as diverse as bedwetting and
boredom, territoriality and television. Andrews & McMeel,

Schaef, Anne Wilson,
Laugh! I Thought I'd Die (if
I didn't): Daily meditations on healing through
humor. Whether we're in recovery for alcoholism, codependency,
gambling, drug or eating disorders, we all share one basic
experience: recovery is hard work. And often it's when we're
pushing our programs the hardest that recovery seems more elusive
than ever. At these times, letting go, even laughing at ourselves,
can be the most healing gift of all. Here is a daily meditation
book that addresses the need for laughter and lightness in Twelve
Step living. Each entry takes a humorous, ironic, or rueful look
at such aspects of recovery as denial, grandiosity, gratitude and
change. The meditations show us that humor can be a great way to
tease ourselves into new awareness - awareness that often emerges
when we least expect it. By turns irreverent and provocative, this
book will serve as a daily reminder that we all have the right to
experience a full range of emotions in our lives, especially joy
and laughter. After all, that's what recovery is all about.

Shapiro, Ed & Deb, Be the
Change: How meditation can transform you and the world.
A prisoner in a Chinese jail, the author was able to find solace
by sitting quietly in contemplation. Deeply affected by the
experience of walking on the moon, astronaut Edgar Mitchell went
from exploring outer space to discovering the vastness of inner
space. While coping with HIV, Mark Matousek found healing through
group meditation. Seane Corn used her yoga and meditation
expertise to work with child prostitutes in Los Angeles. In the
last few decades, people in all walks of life have begun to
realize the profound benefits of meditation. While this ancient
practice is personally transformative in that it calms the mind
and reduces stress, awakens the heart, and deepens insight, can
meditation also change the world for the better? Two
award-winning authors and some of today's most notable voices
explore this issue, reflecting on how looking within can resolve
issues such as anger and fear, inspiring a movement toward a more
caring and peaceful future. Sterling Ethos, www.sterlingpublishing.com,

Meditations for Men Who Do Next to Nothing: and would like to
do even less. Reading this book could be all the work you'll
ever have to do. It's a tough world out there. And as modern men,
we make choices every day that have far-reaching effects on our
health, happiness and how often we score with the babes -0 or,
indeed, if we ever do. Do we couragesouly negotiate the potholes
on the running track of life? Or do we take stock of
our situation and realize that victory is hollow, and that what we
really want to do is sit down, crack a frosty, turn on the tube,
and watch some other loser run the race? Here, then, is
a man's treasury of quotations, ruminations, and belly-scratching
fits of mumbling to inspire us to fight the good fight: to
eliminate all activity and decision-making from our lives and gain
absolute serenity, not to mention the contented state of
stupefaction you'll achieve when you flip through this book.

Steinsaltz, Adin, Simple Words: Thinking about what really
matters in life. The real quest is to understand the words
that we use constantly, for these are the foundation of our
existence. What are they? What are they made of? These
words, as powerful as they are, are also very foggy. They have a
meaning for each of us, but what precisely is that
meaning? Clarifying our understanding of simple words will
not just change our way of speaking - it will also change our way
of thinking and change our basic feelings. When we know certain
things about those words, we become different people; we are

in the world around you are designed to take away your individual
power. This book serves not so much to give you nice words to say
to yourself, but as a magnificent and devastating battle-plan,
where you learn to expand the power you already have in order to
win back absolute control of your life. That is the only true
spiritual path for you. Everything else is just a way station
while you gather enough confidence to step out on your own. You
need your power back and fast. To get it you will have to become
like a "gorilla on the path" and walk up to the system and
lovingly demand your bone back. At this point in your life you
have enough courage, power and charisma to push against the
manipulations that are imposed on you and win back absolute
control. Using the power of the light within you, you are able to
pull energy from the Universal Mind. It will give you a
transcendent view that you can use for any endeavor you choose.

South Pacific islands, when the sun sets over the lagoon and the

broad shoulders and thick forearms around delicate instruments and
begin singing in the high-pitched voices of sea birds calling from
another century. They sing of love and courage and spiritual
awakenings. Of sea journeys and mystical roots and the wisdom of
fish. They pluck their notes from the surf and rhythms from the
tide and melodies from the currents of time. They've been doing
this for thousands of years - old me, married men, young men and
boys. This is how male culture is transmitted. Self Published,
