Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore is a leading lecturer and writer in the areas of archetypal psychology, mythology, and the imagination. He lived as a monk in a Catholic religious order for twelve years and has degrees in theology, musicology, and philosopy.

"Care of the soul is not a project of self-improvement nor a way of being released from the troubles and pains of human existence. It is not at all concerned with living properly or with emotional health. . . We care for the soul solely by honoring its expressions, by giving it time and opportunity to reveal itself, and by living life in a way that fosters the depth, interiority, and quality in which it flourishes. Soul is its own purpose and end." (excerpt)

Elizabeth Gilbert

In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want--husband, country home, successful career--but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind the outward marks of success, and of what she found in their place.

Following a divorce and a crushing depression, Gilbert set out to examine three different aspects of her nature, set against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. Softcover.

"Gilbert's prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit,
and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible."
~ The New York Times Book Review.

Lion of Siddhas
The Life and Teachings of Padampa Sangye

Translated by David Molk
with Lama Tsering Wangdu Rinpoche

Best known as Machig Labdron's teacher, the Indian mahasiddha Padampa Sangye carried the lineage of Chod to Tibet and Buddha's words to China. Padampa Sangye's teaching methods were unorthodox and sometimes extreme: this transcendent and irascible teacher encouraged his disciples to disregard social conventions and go beyond cultural conditioning. Inspiring innumerable highly realized disciples, many of whom were women, his teachings can be found in monasteries and retreat hermitages throughout all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and continue to be practiced with undiminished enthusiasm and diligence.

Lion of Siddhas presents two previously untranslated texts: a biography of Padampa Sangye and a rare collection of his verbal and nonberbal teachings, called Mahamudra in Symbols, recorded by his chief Tibetan disciple almost a thousand years ago. Softcover.

A New Earth
Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

Eckhart Tolle

"People believe themselves to be dependent on what happens for their happiness, that is to say, dependent on form. They don't relaize that what happens is the most unstable thing in the universe. It changes constantly. They look upon the present moment as either marred by something that has happened and shouldn't have or as deficient because of something that has not happened but should have. And so they miss the deeper perfection that is inherent in life itself, a perfection that is always already here . . The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person or event. . . It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from consciousness itself." (excerpt)

Illuminating and uplifting, A New Earth shows how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only esential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Softcover.

The Power of Now
A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

Eckhart Tolle

"It is misleading to say that somebody 'chose' a dysfunctional relationship or any other negative situation in his or her life. Choice implies consciousness--a high degree of consciousness. Without it, you have no choice. Choice begins the moment you disidentify from the mind and its conditioned patterns, the moment you become present. Until you reach that point, you are unconscious, spiritually speaking. This means that you are compelled to think, feel, and act in certain ways according to the conditioning of your mind..." (excerpt). Softcover.

Although the journey into 'the power of now' is challenging, Eckhart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question-and-answer format as guidance. "One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power!" ~ Deepak Chopra.

Three Cups of Tea
One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin

In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promissed to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools--especially for girls--in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.

"Laced with drama, danger, romance, and good deeds, Mortenson's story serves as a reminder of the power of a good idea and the strength inherent in one person's passionate determination to persevere against enormous obstacles." ~ The Christian Science Monitor. Softcover.

A. H. Almaas

A. H. Almaas presents a marvelously effective practice for developing the transformative quality of presence. Through a particular method of self-observation and contemplative exploration that he calls inquiry, we learn to live in the relaxed condition of simply "being ourselves," without interference from feelings of inadequacy, drivenness toward goals, struggling to figure things out, and rejecting experiences we don't want.

Almaas explores the many obstacles that keep us from being present--including defensiveness, ignorance, desire, aggression, and self-hared--and shows us how to welcome with curiosity and compassion whatever we are experiencing. Softcover.

". . . probably the most balanced of the widely available spiritual psychologies/therapies." ~ Ken Wilbur
