Book Description
This publication is intended for the Elder's of any community, educators, the young and old. More specifically, those individuals who are presently encountering difficulty in their transformational process in making productive career decisions, as well as, those who have reached the final stage of adolescence, in their quest for psycho-social development. The greatest experience that an individual can have is being empowered with knowledge of self, i.e., cultural awareness, which emanates into self-pride and confidence in one's ability to achieve success in all of their endeavors in life. Culture becomes the vessel that propels the individual into action in a conscious state of existence. Once bought into this state of consciousness, one is enabled to make proactive decisions in their lives, no longer allowing the media, environmental conditions, and others to become enablers for them. Each chapter represents different phases of mentally transforming instructive messages, thus, initiating a new way of listening, contemplating and reacting to the conditions of the Pied Piper. The order and arrangement of this book is a governing line of thought, all of which corresponds to the Pharonic mentality. As one synthesis the information of each proceeding chapters it embark the reader on a journey of self-exploration. This book heightens the individual's ability to convert words of power, into inner strength and spiritual ascendancy. This book is not to be read like a novel, but explored chapter by chapter as a mean of grasping the intricate nature of the subject matter. Also, it is an excellent introductory examination of the various facets involved in the Pied Piper Effect and the impact that music has on society as a whole. As my Grandmother use to say, "If You Dance To The Music, You Have To Pay The Piper."

The Pied Piper of Hamelin
Author: Russell Brand
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501107275
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
With this first book in Russell Brand’s Trickster Tales series, the famed comedian, actor, and bestselling author delivers a hilarious retelling of an old fairytale favorite that will appeal to adults and children alike. Once upon a time, long ago, in a time that seemed, to those present, exactly like now except their teeth weren’t so clean and more things were wooden, there was a town called Hamelin. The people of Hamelin were a pompous bunch who loved themselves and their town so much that if it were possible they would have spent all day zipped up in a space suit smelling their own farts. But space suits hadn’t been invented yet so they couldn’t. Then one day without warning a gang of rats bowled into the town and began causing a right rumpus… So begins Russell Brand’s wildly funny and surprisingly wise retelling of the classic tale The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Whether you’re a kid or a grown-up kid, you’ll be chuckling the whole way through this zany story that bypasses Brand’s more adult humor for the outrageous, the madcap, and the just plain silly. Maybe you’ve heard about the Pied Piper before, with his strange music and those pompous townspeople and pesky rats. Or maybe you haven’t. But one thing is for sure: you’ve never heard it quite like this.

Finding the Blue Sky
Author: Joseph Emet
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101992360
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Joseph Emet explores the intersection between Positive Psychology--the study of what makes people happy--and the ancient wisdom of Buddhism. Positive Psychology—with its focus not on mental "disease," but rather on what actually makes people happy—has revolutionized the way that we look at mental health. What many people don't realize, however, is that Positive Psychology is not as young a field of inquiry as we think. In fact, according to Joseph Emet, the original positive thinker was the Buddha himself. In this wise and inspiring book, Emet traces the fascinating intersection between the age-old wisdom of Buddhism and the latest scientific research into what makes people happy. In this book readers will discover: * How to replace negative thinking with positive thinking * How to move from frenzied thinking to quiet contemplation * The duty we have to others to live a happy life As Joseph explains in this work, the blue sky of happiness is found just beyond the grey clouds of sadness, everyday concerns, stress, or anxiety. Readers will find that the advice in this book can act as the gentle wind that clears those clouds away.
