A Thousand Paths to Enlightenment

Book Description
Few books have made a greater impact, political as much as literary, than Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, perhaps the most famous of anti-war novels. Startling in its realism, moving in its humanity and banned and burned in Germany by the Nazis, it was an international publishing sensation. But who was Erich Maria Remarque? While the title of his masterpiece has entered the language as a catch-phrase, its author is virtually forgotten. In this biography, Hilton Tims attempts to reveal a man whose life was one of the most romantic and anguished of the 20th century.

At the 1893 Parliament of Religions in Chicago, Swami Vivekananda transformed Western thinking.

In accessible and powerful prose, Vivekananda illuminates the four classical yoga paths — karma, bhakti, raja, and jnana — for the different natures of humankind. The messages focus on the oneness of existence; the divinity of the soul; the truth in all religions; and unifying with the Divine within.

Thousand Paths to Success

Publisher: Spruce
ISBN: 9781840727302
Category : Quotations, English
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
We all want success. Our whole society is built on the idea. In former times, mere survival was enough of a challenge for the majority of people but now we expect much more. People are engaged in a quest to obtain success both for themselves and their families. But what is success? For many it is all about wealth, possessions, status and power. They believe that these are the things that make life worth living and they can never be truly happy without them. This book was not written for such people. This sort of success is shallow and pointless. It offers a mirage of happiness but delivers only misery and dissatisfaction. True success lies in our ability to find a rich, meaningful and fulfiling life. The successful people in this world have been those who were more interested in helping others and who showed by example that we can all be successful if we share whatever happiness we are fortunate enough to enjoy.
