Book Description
The Spiritual Life: A Broader View * A Focus on Values-not Beliefs. Values are emphasized as new sources of meaning, purpose, and identity. Our values complement our beliefs (whether they be religious, spiritual, or humanist.)* Contemporary Sources of Wisdom. We seek values that are more relevant and useful to us in the conduct of our everyday lives. The sixty-four values we discuss are primarily adapted from current spiritual, psychological, and secular sources.* The Empowerment of Personal Choice. Assuming more responsibility for our spiritual happiness begins by clarifying our own ideals and values. Because your chosen personal values are important (valuable) to you, they provide fresh sources of inspiration. * An Emphasis on Transformation-not Transcendence. A commitment to grow and live in closer alignment with our chosen spiritual ideals (like wisdom, peace, love, and compassion) helps us to become more of the person we wish to be.* More Life for All-in This World. Our task is to sacralize all life, here and now.* We Seek a More Spiritual Life-With Spirit or without.

On September 11, 2001, Ann Kansfield, a successful Wall Street broker who had spent years laying a path of achievements, stood on the doorstep of profound change. The city she loved was in turmoil, and a calling to help others was emerging from deep within her. Part memoir and part spiritual formation guide, Kansfield's Be the Brave One relays her stunning transformation from a "run-of-the-mill capitalist jerk" into a wife, mother, and pastor committed to feeding the poor at her church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The first female and openly gay chaplain at the New York Fire Department, and voted the inaugural New York Times New Yorker of the Year, Kansfield uses her characteristic wit and knack for accessible storytelling to reveal how an adventurous faith rooted in living out your convictions can bring about radical change in the world. From authenticity and courage, to perseverance and gratitude, in Kansfield's journey you will find the insight and tools to name and claim your own core spiritual values. Ultimately, Kansfield's story will leave readers both comforted and challenged to discover and live out their own faith rooted in open-hearted conviction.

Book Description
Weaving together philosophical, historical, legal, scientific and personal viewpoints, this book gives a rich sample of the vast web which makes up our cultural, spiritual and social diversity. The volume highlights the central importance of cultural and spiritual values in the appreciation and preservation of all life and argues that these values give us a true reflection of worth. It demonstrates how many cultures see Nature as an extension of society, and how sensitive stewardship is an integral part of existence. The book covers: language and how cognition and speech encode indigenous knowledge systems are critical for preservation of diversity; the complex issue of indigenous people and the problems of preserving their relationships both with and within their societies; voices of the world - expressions of concern and disquiet over the declining world diversity; holistic health practices where environment and diet are integrated into indigenous medical health systems; the importance of developing effective intellectual property rights and territorial and land rights to enhance and maintain local control. This book arose out of the Global Biodiversity Assessment (GBA), a massive review of current knowledge in the broad field of biological diversity, commissioned by United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP)

Book Description
This book deals with the multiple problem of education in the public schools as it relates to moral and spiritual values. The author cuts a wide swath through the tangled underbrush of church and state, religion and education, sacred and secular, spiritual and materialistic, "body and soul," and lets in a lot of light. To these problems the author brings a lifetime of courageous reflection and experience. To them he also brings, as case studies, the actual experiences of actual children and teachers in actual classrooms in Kentucky, where an experimental program of education in moral and spiritual values has been in process for the past several years.

Book Description
An impassioned call to heal the wounds of our planet and ourselves through the tenets of our spiritual traditions, from a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize It is so easy, in our modern world, to feel disconnected from the physical earth. Despite dire warnings and escalating concern over the state of our planet, many people feel out of touch with the natural world. Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai has spent decades working with the Green Belt Movement to help women in rural Kenya plant—and sustain—millions of trees. With their hands in the dirt, these women often find themselves empowered and “at home” in a way they never did before. Maathai wants to impart that feeling to everyone, and believes that the key lies in traditional spiritual values: love for the environment, self-betterment, gratitude and respect, and a commitment to service. While educated in the Christian tradition, Maathai draws inspiration from many faiths, celebrating the Jewish mandate tikkun olam (“repair the world”) and renewing the Japanese term mottainai (“don’t waste”). Through rededication to these values, she believes, we might finally bring about healing for ourselves and the earth.

Author: Cary G. Weldy Publisher: BalboaPress ISBN: 1452539081 Category : Business & Economics Languages : en Pages : 112
Book Description
From his energy-based approach to interior design and his appearances on HGTV, readers familiar with Cary Weldy will appreciate this new offering, in which Weldy speaks to the business community. Businesses have often run under the assumption that efficiency and productivity automatically equal success, measured solely in terms of profit. In this competitive paradigm, values must take second place, leading to the stereotype of the corporation as a soulless place. In this ground-breaking book, Cary Weldy moves beyond synergy to a model of business that focuses on the whole person. Take care of people, unleash their creativity, and innovation will follow. A new corporate mindset, one that is socially and environmentally conscious, now takes root around the world, leading to a better working environment, and, ultimately, a better world. Weldy takes readers on a journey through this change in consciousness, discussing the theory and the practice of bringing spiritual values into business. The book discusses the spiritual evolution we are witnessing on the planet, and how it is affecting companies, both large and small. It discusses the importance of embodying spiritual values in a workplace setting, and how the profits will follow. A reader will learn how to move from fear to love, the power of simplicity, how to use intuition for guidance, and the importance of moving from goals into flow and process. Cary also discusses the challenges and importance of diversity, and a new paradigm for leadership, providing examples of the template for our new emerging leaders. Readers can also learn many practical ways that some companies are already doing to create a new workplace environment geared for truly taking care of its employees, including offering massage therapy services, meditation classes, and the use of aromatherapy to increase productivity.

Book Description
Originally published in 1990, educational debate in the western world was dominated by pragmatic, utilitarian values. The prevailing assumption was that education should be geared towards fitting people into the world of work. Dudley Plunkett broke new ground in this debate by seeking to reconcile secular and spiritual values in educational policy and practice. Secular and Spiritual Values presents a critique of the influence of enterprise culture on education. It argues that the resurgence of interest in the spiritual today represents a return to an essential aspect of human nature, and maintains that the spiritual perspective can provide a context for the regeneration of values in education. It indicates a way forward which, while not denying pragmatism, rationalism or holistic values, calls for openness to a spiritual reality that is seen as primary. It also assesses the practical implications and priorities for action if education is to contribute to the exploration of the spiritual as well as the intellectual and emotional dimensions of human experience. This book has grown out of the author’s twenty-five years’ experience in educational studies, and from his particular preoccupation with values in education. It should still be of interest to those concerned with the nature and purpose of education: teachers, parents, educational policy-makers and administrators and academics in the field.
