How Confucius Changed My Mind


A compelling exploration of humanity, morality, religious practice, and leading a good life based on traditional Confucian thought.In this exploration of humanity, morality, religious practice, and leading a good life based on traditional Confucian thought, you are invited on a path of transformation. The unexpected depths to be found in Confucianism surprised author Charles Jones when he began teaching East Asian religions to undergraduate students thirty years ago. It raised fascinating questions relevant to life today, like what does it mean to be human? To understand the Confucian answers to these questions, Jones familiarizes us with Confucius, his main successors, and the situations to which their writings responded.But this is not another textbook introduction to Chinese religion and thought. Jones is an engaging, inquisitive scholar and thought provocateur whose ideas address problems all of us face throughout our lives. By engaging with the Confucian ideas explored in this book, like rethinking ?human nature? and uncovering cultural presuppositions previously unnoticed, you might discover new horizons and possibilities for your life that previously you never could have imagined. And you will discover Confucius in an all-new light as a profound shaper of modern thought as much as Aristotle and Lao-tzu?whose revolutionary ideas have the power to change your mind for the better.

How to Be a Grown Up


“Raffi Grinberg is a born teacher … I wish all twentysomethings could take his class, and now, with How to Be a Grown Up, they can.”—Jonathan Haidt, bestselling author of The Anxious Generation“This is an absolute must-read for every person in their twenties!" —Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to SomeoneWhat Color Is Your Parachute? meets I Will Teach You To Be Rich for twentysomethings. Raffi Grinberg, who created and taught the ever-oversubscribed college course “Adulting 101,” offers a practical guide to adult life’s greatest mysteries that were never taught in school—but should have been—including how to launch your career, find your purpose (for right now), invest your money, and much more.  Though twenty- and thirty-somethings are better educated than ever before, essentially none of the topics critical to being a full-fledged adult—such as how to get a new job, create a budget, file your taxes, face rejection, and navigate family dynamics—are covered in lower or higher education. Fortunately, here is a book that does just that. From entrepreneur Raffi Grinberg, who lived and learned the hard way throughout his twenties, here is a crash course in everything you need to know to be a grown up. Based on his wildly popular “Adulting 101” course at Boston College, Grinberg firmly steers you through the basics of being a grown up using interactive chapters, bite-size nuggets of wisdom, humor, and stories from his twenties, including nearly going broke, having bad credit, disappointing his parents, and much more. As Raffi tells his students, “I want you to have a quarter-life crisis now so that you won’t have a mid-life crisis later.”A MUCH-NEEDED BOOK FOR YOUNG ADULTS: Creator and teacher of the undergraduate college course Adulting 101, Raffi Grinberg crafted a foolproof curriculum that became one of the department’s most in-demand and highest-rated classes. Like his course, this book answers a need for young people who will inevitably discover that most of what they learned in school does not apply to their lives and that the things they need to know most were never taught to them. TIMELY ADVICE FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE: This is not advice from your parents’ generation. Grinberg, now in his thirties, has recently faced some of the present concerns of people in their twenties. This life skills book helps readers unlearn outdated, unrealistic advice with guidance that reflects life’s current realities and opportunities. OUTSTANDING GRADUATION GIFT: The United States is facing a loneliness crisis, a mental health crisis, a debt crisis, and a crisis of meaning. This guide proactively teaches young adults fourteen essential skills to avoid these crises in their lives and make the most of their twenties. An indispensable resource and entertaining read, How to Be a Grown Up makes an excellent self-purchase or thoughtful present for birthday, graduation, college or grad school kickoff, or job-seeking encouragement.Perfect for: Recent high school and college graduates Parents with adult children Fans of self-help and life skills books Anyone looking to better manage their personal finances and career opportunities Readers of The Defining Decade, The Alchemist, What Color Is Your Parachute?, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, The Last Lecture, and The Unspoken Rules

Jump!


Do you repeatedly defer life to later, convinced there will come a time when you''ll be better prepared to seize its opportunities?Do you spend your best hours on chores or trivia before allowing yourself to get to what most matters to you? The real mystery of procrastination is why we avoid goals to which we''re passionately committed. It''s understandable that we''d put off cleaning the fridge or completing our tax return; but why do we swerve a loved one, a vocation, a hobby, or a new life that feels supremely meaningful to us? Simon May argues that the almost universal consensus around overcoming procrastination - setting priorities and optimizing time management: working "smarter not harder" - might work for the boring things but is of little use when it comes to treasured goals that we''re avoiding. Jump! proposes seven radically new ways in which we can overcome this life-sabotaging procrastination. May claims that, for all their pain, the regret and boredom created by procrastination can shine the brightest light on our top priorities, either reaffirming our commitment to them or teaching us that we''re on the wrong path. This is the unexpected blessing of procrastination: that it offers hope of becoming ourselves.

Shift


A myth-busting, science-based guide that addresses the timeless question of how to manage your emotional life using tools you already possess—from the bestselling author of Chatter. Whether it's anxiety about going to the doctor, boiling rage when we're stuck in traffic, or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. Far from being "good" or "bad," emotions are information. When they're activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation, and helping us make the right choices. But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Dr. Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common myths—for instance, that avoidance is always toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment—and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don't take over our lives. Shift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions—from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter's life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Dr. Kross spotlights a wide array of tools that we already have access to—in our bodies and minds, our relationships with other people, and the cultures and physical spaces we inhabit—and shows us how to harness them to be healthier and more successful. Filled with actionable advice, cutting-edge research, and riveting stories, Shift puts the power back into our hands, so we can control our emotions without them controlling us—and help others do the same.
