Book Description
You can feel better about any situation when you choose your beliefs purposefully. Even if you agree with this idea, you may not know how to choose your beliefs, so you default to what you were taught, which often makes you feel worse. Have you ever asked yourself these questions: How do I believe on purpose to create the results I want? How do I start? How exactly can I do this? Believing on Purpose is the answer to those questions and more. Bev Aron, the Deep Dive Coach, uses every day moments to demonstrate how she practices the art of believing on purpose to create a more uplifting and peaceful experience for herself in a way that will inspire you to start believing on purpose. Bev's wish is to help you feel confident to experiment and discover ways to create more magic in your life. Creating a life that you dream of is the sum of deliberately practicing beliefs during your everyday moments - especially the ones that challenge you and that you would prefer were not happening. This book is an invitation for you to explore the deeper wisdom that resides within you. When you choose to believe on purpose, you will be amazed at how ordinary moments naturally become magical, enchanting occasions. Praise from Readers of Believing on Purpose: "Bev Aron's voice is authentic and transparent, and demonstrates, from personal examples, how she has used her own coaching tools to transform negative thoughts. The words are witty and wise, and filled with accessible examples of personal challenges we all can relate to. There is a feeling of safety and openness, which would invite the reader to share her own personal challenges, and rework them with triumphant reframing. Many aspects of humanity are covered including grief, family relationships, time management and personal success. The illustrations are original and real, and speak to the themes covered in the short vignettes." - Dr. Joan Tucker, Psychiatrist, Author of The Humble Tiger "This joyous book is an inspiration for anyone wanting to improve their lives by simply making incremental, daily changes. Bev candidly shares her own challenges and outlines the techniques she employs to overcome them. Through loving reflections and vivid artwork, she invites readers along on her transformational journey. In an era of self-help abundance, The Believing Practice is essential reading for those wishing to experience their modern, over-scheduled, stress-filled lives differently." - Dr. Shalini Shankar, Professor of Anthropology and Asian American Studies at Northwestern University, and author of Beeline: What Spelling Bees Reveal about Generation Z's New Path to Success

With your desire defined, quietly go within and shut the door behind you. Lose yourself in your desire; feel yourself to be one with it; remain in this fixation until you have absorbed the life and name by claiming and feeling yourself to be and to have that which you desired. When you emerge from the hour of prayer you must do so conscious of being and possessing that which you heretofore desired.-Neville Goddard

Photography and Belief
Author: David Levi Strauss
Publisher: David Zwirner Books
ISBN: 9781644230473
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In this exploration of contemporary photography, David Levi Strauss questions the concept that “seeing is believing” Identifying a recent shift in the dominance of photography, David Levi Strauss looks at the power of the medium in the age of Photoshop, smart phones, and the internet, asking important questions about how we look and what we trust. In the first ekphrasis title on photography, Strauss challenges the aura of believability and highlights the potential dangers around this status. He examines how images produced on cameras gradually gained an inordinate power to influence public opinion, prompt action, comfort and assuage, and direct or even create desire. How and why do we believe technical images the way we do? Offering a poignant argument in the era of “fake news,” Strauss draws attention to new changes in the technology of seeing. Some uses of "technical images" are causing the connection between images and belief (between seeing and believing) to fray and pull apart. How is this shifting our relationship to images? Will this crisis in what we can believe come to threaten our very purchase on the real? This book is an inquiry into the history and future of our belief in images.

Believing
Author: Anita Hill
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593298314
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
“An elegant, impassioned demand that America see gender-based violence as a cultural and structural problem that hurts everyone, not just victims and survivors… It's at times downright virtuosic in the threads it weaves together.”—NPR Winner of the 2022 ABA Silver Gavel Award for Books From the woman who gave the landmark testimony against Clarence Thomas as a sexual menace, a new manifesto about the origins and course of gender violence in our society; a combination of memoir, personal accounts, law, and social analysis, and a powerful call to arms from one of our most prominent and poised survivors. In 1991, Anita Hill began something that's still unfinished work. The issues of gender violence, touching on sex, race, age, and power, are as urgent today as they were when she first testified. Believing is a story of America's three decades long reckoning with gender violence, one that offers insights into its roots, and paths to creating dialogue and substantive change. It is a call to action that offers guidance based on what this brave, committed fighter has learned from a lifetime of advocacy and her search for solutions to a problem that is still tearing America apart. We once thought gender-based violence--from casual harassment to rape and murder--was an individual problem that affected a few; we now know it's cultural and endemic, and happens to our acquaintances, colleagues, friends and family members, and it can be physical, emotional and verbal. Women of color experience sexual harassment at higher rates than White women. Street harassment is ubiquitous and can escalate to violence. Transgender and nonbinary people are particularly vulnerable. Anita Hill draws on her years as a teacher, legal scholar, and advocate, and on the experiences of the thousands of individuals who have told her their stories, to trace the pipeline of behavior that follows individuals from place to place: from home to school to work and back home. In measured, clear, blunt terms, she demonstrates the impact it has on every aspect of our lives, including our physical and mental wellbeing, housing stability, political participation, economy and community safety, and how our descriptive language undermines progress toward solutions. And she is uncompromising in her demands that our laws and our leaders must address the issue concretely and immediately.

The Philosophy of Chrysippus
Author: Josiah B. Gould
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780873950640
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The Philosophy of Chrysippus is a reconstruction of the philosophy of an eminent Stoic philosopher, based upon the fragmentary remains of his voluminous writings. Chrysippus of Cilicia, who lived in a period that covers roughly the last three-quarters of the third century B.C., studied philosophy in Athens and upon Cleanthes' death became the third head of the Stoa, one of the four great schools of philosophy of the Hellenistic period. Chrysippus wrote a number of treatises in each of the major departments of philosophy, logic, physics, and ethics. Much of his fame derived from his acuteness as a logician, but his importance for Stoic philosophy generally was acknowledged in antiquity in the saying, "Had there been no Chrysippus, there would be no Stoa." Previous accounts of Chrysippus' philosophy, including Émile Bréhier's study, the only work in this century which had sought to deal with Chrysippus' philosophy alone, blurred the distinctive contributions of Chrysippus to Stoic philosophy and failed to bring to light the peculiar features in his thought. The vagueness in these accounts resulted in large measure from the assumption that if an ancient author ascribed a doctrine to "the Stoics" or "Stoicism", one could infer that the doctrine belonged to Chrysippus. Professor Gould works from the more circumspect methodological principle that unless an ancient author explicitly ascribes a doctrine to Chrysippus, his testimony cannot be used in reconstructing Chrysippus' philosophy. Working with those of the fragments in Hans von Arnim's collection, Stoicorum Veterum Fragmenta, which are explicitly Chrysippean in the sense suggested, Mr. Gould has worked out an account of Chrysippus' views in the fields of logic, natural philosophy, and ethics. In order that Chrysippus' thought might be viewed in context Mr. Gould provides a background picture by describing the third century milieu in which the Stoic philosopher worked. This follows an account of Chrysippus' life and reputation in antiquity and a description of modern assessments of Chrysippus' position in the Stoa. In his account of Chrysippus' philosophy Mr. Gould frequently introduces comparisons and contrasts with Plato and Aristotle to help emphasize the continuity between Hellenic and early Hellenistic philosophy. Finally, in a concluding chapter, the author shows that the dominant themes in Chrysippus' philosophy, while not exhibiting a thoroughly well-knit system, nevertheless are woven together into a remarkably comprehensive whole, which must have been extraordinarily impressive in antiquity.
