How to Be Happy
It's what everyone wants, isn't it? To be happy? What people often don't realise is that there are two kinds of happiness. That which comes from without, and that which comes from within. The second kind is the important one. Happiness that comes from without is dependent on other people and the world you live in. Happiness that comes from within is dependent only upon the world that lives within you. How to be Happy shows you how to access your future happiness of the real kind, by discovering your complete evolution, over many lifetimes. Happiness from within can only be activated if you remember what you came here to do. Past lives need to be recalled and healed, so that we can remember what we came here to do.

There is a lot of talk about the new paradigm or model of thinking needed for the 21st Century. But what actually is problematic about our current ones?

The Parable of His-Story
If History is written by the victors then this is His-Story, as corrected by the losers. The Parable of His-Story is a telling of the age where men have been in charge. Inspired by ideas of feminism and spirituality, it suggests that eternal rules are temporary examples of a one sided story, repeatedly told to glorify the masculine and denigrate the feminine. Charting the origin of this story at the dawn of civilization, the book details how his-story spread across the world through successive masculine-driven empires and affected our ideas of sex, gender, sexuality and race. As the financial system crumbles, as religious and political ideologies grow more extreme and as more of us contribute to a collective consciousness through the Internet, The Parable offers suggestions as to what we need to remember in order to bring ourselves, and our relations with our planet, back into balance. If you've ever wondered why zero has been taught to mean nothing, why gay has come to be synonymous with rubbish, and why all the major monotheistic gods are blokes, then this book is for you.

Tick continues his decades-long revival of Asklepian dream incubation and other modern versions of ancient rituals while providing a deep dive into the sacred history of Poros and how it can bring transformation and serenity today.

Ma: The Japanese Secret to Contemplation and Calm
"Ma--the emptiness in which time, space and thoughts are suspended--is an invitation to awareness." The traditional Japanese concept of ma refers to a pause or a space, "the moment of no action, the stillness and silence that is filled with more powerful energy than the moments of action" on the classic Noh stage. It also refers to the pauses taken in between notes by a shakuhachi flute player or the spaces between stones in a Zen garden which reveal unexpected vistas and perspectives. The eighteen thought-provoking essays in this book present the work of talented writers and artists with vast experience in the fields of Japanese art, religion, music and philosophy. They show us how the experience of ma in the traditional Zen arts and practices can be used to create a greater awareness of our surroundings to vastly improve our lives in many other areas. Highlights include: "The Unspoken Space We Share" by Pico Iyer, who reflects on our word choice, the way we speak to each other and the pauses in our everyday conversations"Some Gravel Some Stones" by Steven Mansfield, who explores deliberate spaces in Japanese garden design and how these provide us with moments of calm"Photographic Ma" by Robert van Koesveld, who draws our attention to the mysterious communicative power of "spaces" in photographic compositions that draw us in on a subconscious level"Between Form and Emptiness," an interview with artist Miya Ando, whose work in metal, canvas and sculpture is deeply rooted in Zen Buddhist philosophy and reflects the human experience of time, the seasons and ephemerality"Moments of Silence and Stillness" by Magda Rittenhouse, whose explorations of traditional Japanese design focus on the spaces between inside and outside, sacred and profane, the safe and the unfamiliarPlus thirteen other fascinating essaysIllustrated with 80 stunning photographs, this book will appeal not just to those with an interest in Japanese culture and philosophy, but to anyone seeking to escape the stresses and challenges of daily life and develop a more balanced, meditative approach to the world.

Intelligence
Intelligence: It's Not What You Think By Sandeep ChavanWhat is intelligence? For centuries, we've praised it, measured it, feared it, and even built machines to imitate it - yet we've never truly defined it.Is it IQ? Wisdom? Morality? Cleverness? AI? Each answer sounds convincing, but each one misses the essence. We've mistaken the glow for the fire, the performance for the principle.In Intelligence: It's Not What You Think, Sandeep Chavan dismantles the illusions surrounding one of humanity's most celebrated yet misunderstood concepts. From the cultural obsession with test scores to the misplaced reverence for "wise gurus," from ancient philosophies to modern AI hype, this book reveals how intelligence has been described by its outcomes but never understood at its core.The breakthrough is startling in its simplicity: intelligence is consequential alignment. It is not what you know, but how you respond to what follows. It is not speed, memory, or rank, but the living mechanism that links perception to survival, action to meaning.Across five parts, the book guides readers on a journey: Illusions of Intelligence - why IQ, wisdom, and morality fail as definitions.The Mechanics of Intelligence - distinguishing information, knowledge, and true response.The Layers of Intelligence - pure, artificial, and living expressions of the same field.Clearing the Confusions - separating instinct, habit, and morality from intelligence.Intelligence in Context - education, science, AI, and the path toward a ripple civilization.With clarity and provocation, Chavan shows why competing with AI is a trap, why borrowed habits lead to depression, and why civilizations collapse when they ignore the law of consequence. At the same time, he offers a vision of intelligence as a Universal Skill - a practice that every individual and society can cultivate through awareness, adaptation, and alignment.This is not another book telling you how to be "smarter." It is a lens that redefines intelligence itself - freeing it from numbers, dogmas, and illusions.The future will not ask, "Are you intelligent?" It will ask, "Do you live intelligently?"

From transformation and perception expert Penney Peirce, a "timely and so necessary" (Mike Dooley, New York Times bestselling author) guide to everyday enlightenment by focusing on the courage to be vulnerable, authentic, and your absolute best self. There is great power in being seen for all of who you are--and for being able to see through the superficial, often-messy top layer of reality to find core truth, beautiful souls, and our expanded capacity as human beings. The fourth book in Penney Peirce's award-winning Transformation series, with a poignant foreword by Jenny Blake, Transparency is a "well-organized, thoughtful, and carefully developed system that can help anyone who wants to walk this path toward enlightenment" (Nancy du Tertre, author of Psychic Intuition). We're used to living in physical bodies in an opaque world, and rarely see through to what's real. By dissolving any emotional and mental "clutter" that interferes with the soul's clarity, we can learn to relax and discover their best self. Peirce's vision for how life will change in a transparent reality gives all of us something to aim for.
Mind Over Magick
A scientific examination of magical practice - Draws on peer-reviewed research in psychology and cognitive neuroscience, such as real-time brain imaging, to examine the effects of mystical states and magical practice - Shows how being "in the zone," as described by athletes and performers, is consistent with the ritualist's state of mind when working magic - Suggests rituals and routines to strengthen one's practice of magic, witchcraft, meditation, and yoga with empirically proven tools By looking through the lens of psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and real-time brain imaging, Mind over Magick shows how and why ritual magical practice can produce profound experiences with tangible benefits. Richard Kaczynski draws on a wealth of peer-reviewed research to shed new light on magic. He uses psychological studies, including the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment in which subjects role-played as prisoners and guards, to reveal the power of magical vestments and personas and the effects they have on ritual practitioners. He shows how being "in the zone," as described by athletes and performers, is consistent with the ritualist's state of mind when working magic. He also reveals what neurological processes are involved when one encounters and works with spirits. Mind over Magick includes empirically proven rituals to strengthen one's practice of magic, witchcraft, yoga, and meditation. Readers can then apply the scientific method to evaluate their own spiritual praxis and determine what works best for them. For solitary practitioners and group participants alike, the author shares what happens, both on a psychological and neurological level, when they enter sacred spaces and use ritual implements as well as enter deep meditative states. He also details the importance of initiation as a rite of passage and transformative method of instruction. By approaching the art of practicing magic as a science, readers are encouraged to hone a more effective and empirically grounded practice.
Saving Grace Rise Above Domestic Violence
Saving Grace: Rise Above Domestic Violence is more than a memoir. It is a lifeline.In these pages, Grace shares her journey through years of domestic abuse with unflinching honesty, raw emotion, and ultimately, unshakable hope.Told in three parts, The Grave, The Escape, and The Rise, her story traces the devastating toll of abuse, the courageous steps toward breaking free, and the long but empowering process of rebuilding a life.Grace writes not only about the emotional and physical scars, but also about the spiritual and psychological weight of living in constant fear and the triumph of finding light after darkness.The memoir begins with a dramatic incident: an attack by two dogs while she walked her pet. The moment becomes a powerful metaphor for the unpredictability and terror she faced at home, setting the tone for a narrative that is both poignant and profoundly relatable.Grace's voice is heartfelt and unsentimental. She resists melodrama, instead sharing her experiences matter-of-factly and with wisdom hard-won through suffering. The result is writing that feels authentic, compelling, and deeply human. Each chapter heading is striking, pulling the reader deeper into her world.Her faith, a constant thread throughout the narrative, provided the strength to endure, the courage to escape, and the foundation for healing. Grace's sincerity offers encouragement without preaching, so readers of all beliefs can connect with her resilience.What makes Saving Grace so powerful is its dual nature: it is both a deeply personal story and a universal message of hope. For survivors of abuse, it offers solidarity, validation, and a reminder that they are not alone. For others, it shines a light on the hidden struggles so many endure and the extraordinary strength it takes to rise above them.This memoir has the potential to stand as a moving testament to survival and transformation, as well as a practical resource with references and guidance for those still navigating the storm.Saving Grace is not only a story of survival, but of empowerment, a must-read for anyone seeking courage, healing, and the inspiration to reclaim their life.
The Paranormal Ranger
*A NEW YORK TIMES PICK FOR TOP 22 NONFICTION BOOKS TO READ THIS FALL!*A Navajo Ranger's chilling and clear-eyed memoir of his investigations into bizarre cases of the paranormal and unexplained in NavajolandAs a Native American with parents of both Navajo and Cherokee descent, Stanley Milford Jr. grew up in a world where the supernatural was both expected and taboo, where shapeshifters roamed, witchcraft was a thing to be feared, and children were taught not to whistle at night. In his youth, Milford never went looking for the paranormal, but it always seemed to find him. When he joined the fabled Navajo Rangers--a law enforcement branch of the Navajo Nation who are equal parts police officers, archeological conservationists, and historians--the paranormal became part of his job. Alongside addressing the mundane duties of overseeing the massive 27,000-square-mile reservation, Milford was assigned to utterly bizarre and shockingly frequent cases involving mysterious livestock mutilations, skinwalker and Bigfoot sightings, UFOs, and malicious hauntings.In The Paranormal Ranger, Milford recounts the stories of these cases from the clinical and deductive perspective of a law enforcement officer. Milford's Native American worldview and investigative training collide to provide an eerie account of what logic dictates should not be possible.
Faeries
Discover the history and mythology of faeries--across time and cultures--as well as their significance in art, poetry, and more, in this lushly illustrated volume, featuring more than 100 reproductions of artistic masterpieces. "A field guide to the fantastic." -- Kirkus Faeries have captured the collective imagination throughout time and across cultures. Unexplained occurrences, natural phenomena, and so much more have been attributed to these beautiful, mysterious, and often mischievous creatures. Sometimes these fairies can be helpful and kindly, like the brownies of Britain, the menehune of Hawai'i, and the domovoi of Russia. But just as often, they are seen as a threat, as we characterize a natural phenomenon into an often capricious and frequently frightening creature. The wind becomes a sylph, trees house dryads, and thunderbirds call down storms. They are to be feared and respected, appeased and dreaded in turn. In this striking book, author Nikki Van De Car introduces readers to faeries of all stripes--helpful and unhelpful, related to the four elements, animal and shape-shifting--as well as some of the most famous figures from history, lore, and literature (from Puck to Ariel). Arranged through wonderous paintings and illustrations by legendary artists including Ruben, Turner, Rodin, Blake, and Millais, this guide features the beautiful evidence of fairies' influence on our world. Written folklore from Shakespeare and oral storytelling add context to more than 50 creatures accompanied with tips on finding, summoning, and gaining protection from sparklingly clever fairies.
