A férfi - Srácoknak
A férfi - Srácoknak
Dr. Csernus Imre
¥80.36
A huszadik század alapvet?en megváltoztatta a nemek kapcsolatát, a család szerepét és a n? helyét a világban. A maga korában minden újabb lépés természetes volt: az emberek jogot formáltak a szerelem szabad élvezetére, megtanultuk, hogyan tervezzünk tudatosan családot, a n?k munkába álltak, és küzdeni kezdtek a szabadságukért. ?s mindek?zben a nemek viszonya el?re nem látott módon változott meg. Megváltozott a férfi és a n? szerepe és biológiája, háttérbe szorult a család, és sokan már a gyerekekr?l is tudatosan mondanak le. Korántsem biztos azonban, hogy ebben az új világban tényleg boldogabbak és szabadabbak vagyunk… Vajon mi lehet az evolúciós háttere a tudatos gyermektelenségnek vagy a szingli életformának? Mit?l változott meg a szépségideál az elmúlt száz esztend?ben? Nem egyszer?en a viszonyok rendez?dtek át: a két nem biológiai értelemben is változik. Változik a n? teste, változik egész lénye. SZENDI G?BOR A n? felemelkedése és tünd?klése cím? nagysiker? k?nyvében még arról írt, mi rejlik a génekben, milyen programok dolgoznak a n?ben és a férfiben. Legújabb k?tetében már azt elemzi, milyen er?k és fordulatok ?sszhatására született meg az ?új n?”, és milyen nehézségekkel kell megküzdenie a jelenben és a j?v?be.

San Pedro Huachuma: Opening the Pathways of the Heart
San Pedro Huachuma: Opening the Pathways of the Heart
Javier Regueiro
¥81.50
San Pedro / Huachuma: Opening The Pathways Of The Heart is an invitation to explore and reconnect with our inner landscapes with the help of San Pedro, also known in South America as Huachuma. San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi) is a psychoactive cactus native of the Andes, but more importantly it’s an ancestral medicine that has been used for millennia for healing and ceremonial purposes. Our Western psychic and psychological make-up differs radically from that of Andean people, and our needs as modern people differ just as much from the needs of the ancestors and inhabitants of this land. This book intends to bridge such cultural gap in ways that honor the wealth of wisdom gathered through centuries of native studies and experimentation, and at the same time address our present day state of emotional disconnection and spiritual confusion, which are at the root of most physical, emotional, and mental diseases. Javier Regueiro draws a comprehensive and practical map for exploring consciousness using this ancestral medicine by sharing from his extensive knowledge as a plant medicine person, his personal experiences, and those of the many people he has guided over the years using this medicine.

In “Educational Disobedience,” educationist, Dr. Annise Mabry, offers a compelling, unique and refreshing insight into how she helps her children overcome the limitations of what she terms “a broken education system,” in the State of Georgia. Her decision to homeschool them were borne largely due to the fact that they were not receiving the best of education, and more because protection from the unending problem of bullying in public schools was lacking. She soon realized that only a crucial intervention could save her family from falling apart, and it was a decision that proved timely because not only did she achieve her objectives, but she also ended up saving her community! She has helped many parents to transform their children from struggling students to homeschool high school graduates!This isn't the guide for how to homescool--it's the story of survival because of homeschool.

Mental Efficiency And Other Hints
Arnold Bennett

No one is a worse guide to success than your typical successful man. He seldom understands the reasons of his own success; and when he is asked by a popular magazine to give his experiences for the benefit of the youth of a whole nation, it is impossible for him to be natural and sincere. He knows the kind of thing that is expected from him, and if he didn’t come to London with half a crown in his pocket he probably did something equally silly, and he puts that down, and the note of the article or interview is struck, and good-bye to genuine truth!

Literary Taste: How to Form It
Arnold Bennett

At the beginning a misconception must be removed from the path. Many people, if not most, look on literary taste as an elegant accomplishment, by acquiring which they will complete themselves, and make themselves finally fit as members of a correct society. They are secretly ashamed of their ignorance of literature, in the same way as they would be ashamed of their ignorance of etiquette at a high entertainment, or of their inability to ride a horse if suddenly called upon to do so. There are certain things that a man ought to know, or to know about, and literature is one of them.

Meditate Your Way to Success: The Definitive Guide to Mindfulness, Focus and Med
Chase Andrews
¥24.44
Most entrepreneurs and people in business misunderstand the purpose and power of meditation and how it complements and energizes business leaders. It is often thought that meditation is a tool to relax, a tool to rid unwanted stress and a means to dilute energies that activate the mind. All that is mostly untrue. Meditation is not just about seeking serenity and harmony. It is not about donning a veil of peace and relinquishing confrontational means. It is not just about contemplating the higher truths and the philosophical meaning of life.?Meditation is about empowering your physical presence?with the powers of the universe. It's about?becoming the force of attraction?instead of merely learning the laws of attraction. It is about?seeking and uniting the divine energy within you so that you may leap forward and make your inspiration take form and take flight.? Meditation is both the object and the subject of silence; it is the nexus of the universe and the energy that binds it. Energies flow in waves and transmit in vibrations. How you vibrate is more important than the words you chose. Meditation gives you a path to the right vibration and is best taken when the mind is disciplined and silent. Words and ideas that echo in the head are mere distractions that mindfulness and focus need to arrest. Meditation is the single most important discipline you need if you want to conquer your destiny. Is This Book For You?This book is dedicated to those that want to smash through the glass ceilings they have put over themselves.?Greatness is already within you, you just need to learn how to release it. This book will teach you exactly how to?extract every ounce of greatness you have,?and then some. Don't wait any longer! Scroll up and click the 'Buy Now' button and learn how Meditation is an integral part of success and why you should get started NOW!
