Book Description
In this story you too will witness "The Power of Life," just as author Anthony Rockweiler did. When Anthony left for work on that beautiful Monday morning he had no clue that he would never return home again. This event, his destiny appeared to be planned long before he realized it. The date, the time, and even the year would play such a fascinating role that not even he would understand it till years later. Not even Hollywood could write a story as compelling as this. His self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-image were shattered in a split second and became things of the past, instantly. He was left with no identity asking himself "who am I" on many occasions. He also found himself in therapy eight hours a day for the first year trying to re-learn everything all over again. Many who witnessed the injuries he sustained from the accident watched as the years passed and most wrote off his recovery. Building a new person would be no easy task. You see western medicine did a phenomenal job, but he found himself lost, alone, and isolated for the first time in his life. He knew no one was coming for him. Then years into the accident he begins meditating trying to find refuge from the daily suffering and overwhelming injuries he sustained. Then Meditation and belief would eventually lead him to a special "place' in his mind and a meeting with a mystical destiny that would alter his view of this universe forever. This meeting would hold the key to saving his life and recreating him in the process. As he returned with his own miracle and a world he created for himself by thought and positive affirmations. He would also return to a world that was better than before leaving the old Anthony behind along with the world he once knew. As you follow his story along you'll get an opportunity to witness some unbelievable challenges that he would need to overcome. Life would test him in ways he would never forget and lead him to a place that he would always remember. In his story you will see many parallels between his life and your own. Anthony says this story really is not mine; it's for anyone that's dealing with circumstances or obstacles in their life that may seem overwhelming, whatever that may be. The accident happened to me, but I'm just the messenger. He knows anyone can come away with the same results he did through the power of belief and positive reinforcement. Anthony says I just tapped into some resources that are available to each one of us and they lie within the human mind. So whatever situation you find yourself in or setbacks you suffer, there's one thing for certain, once you read his story you too will never be the same, because you too will witness, "The Power of Life".

The Power of Life
Author: David Kishik
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804778388
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Giorgio Agamben's work develops a new philosophy of life. On its horizon lies the conviction that our form of life can become the guiding and unifying power of the politics to come. Informed by this promise, The Power of Life weaves decisive moments and neglected aspects of Agamben's writings over the past four decades together with the thought of those who influenced him most (including Kafka, Heidegger, Benjamin, Arendt, Deleuze, and Foucault). In addition, the book positions his work in relation to key figures from the history of philosophy (such as Plato, Spinoza, Vico, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Derrida). This approach enables Kishik to offer a vision that ventures beyond Agamben's warning against the power over (bare) life in order to articulate the power of (our form of) life and thus to rethink the biopolitical situation. Following Agamben's prediction that the concept of life will stand at the center of the coming philosophy, Kishik points to some of the most promising directions that this philosophy can take.

Book Description
The Power to Navigate Life is your opportunity to experience a fulfilling life by developing sound health and emotional well-being from the very first page. You will see there is more to life than paying bills, being unhappy, always sick, or being in a relationship that does not serve you. The Power to Navigate Life is arguably the most complete and powerful teachings on the mastering of life. The book is based on the successful personal development and self-transformation program which is like no other, with three key principles: 1. Health & Well-being 2. Personal Growth 3. Self-Awareness. The book includes working diagrams in colour (Map of Life), offering a strategic blueprint that will support you in your quest for a better life. The questionnaire at the back of the book will help you identify issues within your life; issues that you probably were not aware you had. Are you tired of being disconnected from your mind and body? Do you wish you could enjoy better health? Mentally, emotionally, and physically? Do you wish you could better understand the reason for your health issues? The number one problem affecting people nowadays is a preoccupation with their thoughts, which causes mental, emotional, and physical problems. My book will help you: * Better understand the function between your mind and body to achieve mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. * Empower you to realise your strengths, talents and genius. * Draw awareness to your personal power, which lives in us all. * Identify and detach from self-imposed limitations; the inner critic and self-defeating behaviours holding you back from living well. * Draw awareness on the power of infinite possibilities and how to reveal your highest potential. * Realise there are no mistakes in life; simply the exchange of energy from one form to another. * Identify areas of your life that are disempowering, so you can take decisive action to move forward. My name is Tony Fahkry. I am a three-time published author, expert speaker and life coach with over 15 years of experience. I believe everyone has great potential within them. It is a matter of awakening it to become the best version of yourself. The Power to Navigate Life is a personal mastery program developed over ten years through my personal observations, working with coaching clients and audiences. If you are ready to transform your life in a way that is best for you, I invite you to purchase your copy of 'The Power to Navigate Life' today, so you will experience the results I speak of.

Power, Sex, Suicide
Author: Nick Lane
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 9780191513015
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Mitochondria are tiny structures located inside our cells that carry out the essential task of producing energy for the cell. They are found in all complex living things, and in that sense, they are fundamental for driving complex life on the planet. But there is much more to them than that. Mitochondria have their own DNA, with their own small collection of genes, separate from those in the cell nucleus. It is thought that they were once bacteria living independent lives. Their enslavement within the larger cell was a turning point in the evolution of life, enabling the development of complex organisms and, closely related, the origin of two sexes. Unlike the DNA in the nucleus, mitochondrial DNA is passed down exclusively (or almost exclusively) via the female line. That's why it has been used by some researchers to trace human ancestry daughter-to-mother, to 'Mitochondrial Eve'. Mitochondria give us important information about our evolutionary history. And that's not all. Mitochondrial genes mutate much faster than those in the nucleus because of the free radicals produced in their energy-generating role. This high mutation rate lies behind our ageing and certain congenital diseases. The latest research suggests that mitochondria play a key role in degenerative diseases such as cancer, through their involvement in precipitating cell suicide. Mitochondria, then, are pivotal in power, sex, and suicide. In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Nick Lane brings together the latest research findings in this exciting field to show how our growing understanding of mitochondria is shedding light on how complex life evolved, why sex arose (why don't we just bud?), and why we age and die. This understanding is of fundamental importance, both in understanding how we and all other complex life came to be, but also in order to be able to control our own illnesses, and delay our degeneration and death.

Book Description
Mitochondria are tiny structures located inside our cells that carry out the essential task of producing energy for the cell. They are found in all complex living things, and in that sense, they are fundamental for driving complex life on the planet. But there is much more to them than that. Mitochondria have their own DNA, with their own small collection of genes, separate from those in the cell nucleus. It is thought that they were once bacteria living independent lives. Their enslavement within the larger cell was a turning point in the evolution of life, enabling the development of complex organisms and, closely related, the origin of two sexes. Unlike the DNA in the nucleus, mitochondrial DNA is passed down exclusively (or almost exclusively) via the female line. That's why it has been used by some researchers to trace human ancestry daughter-to-mother, to 'Mitochondrial Eve'. Mitochondria give us important information about our evolutionary history. And that's not all. Mitochondrial genes mutate much faster than those in the nucleus because of the free radicals produced in their energy-generating role. This high mutation rate lies behind our ageing and certain congenital diseases. The latest research suggests that mitochondria play a key role in degenerative diseases such as cancer, through their involvement in precipitating cell suicide. Mitochondria, then, are pivotal in power, sex, and suicide. In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Nick Lane brings together the latest research findings in this exciting field to show how our growing understanding of mitochondria is shedding light on how complex life evolved, why sex arose (why don't we just bud?), and why we age and die. This understanding is of fundamental importance, both in understanding how we and all other complex life came to be, but also in order to be able to control our own illnesses, and delay our degeneration and death.
