Descriere: 3,Do you ever feel like you are constantly searching for the right way to live? Are you searching for answers to cope with grief or hardships? Maybe you are seeking a resolution to a recurring problem?The Book of Life written by--one of the greatest thinkers of our time-- Jiddu Krishnamurti guides you through 365 meditations so you can use your experiences to discover truth and the reality that already exists. Krishnamurti believed that every aspect of life is interconnected. He explored nature of truth and freedom, and taught people that truth can be discovered by anyone and doesn't require an authority figure. The daily meditations are organized by months focusing on topics such as: - Self-knowledge, listening, good and evil, and dependence- Sex, fear, feelings, and energy- Happiness, grief, perception, rebirth, and religion- God, love, and alonenessEach daily entry is brief and can be read in 5 to 10 minutes. Within entries, Krishnamurti poses questions for reflection and shares wisdom that you'll reference later. Some of those poignant messages are: - Learning is always in the active present; it has no past.- We follow another's authority, another's experience and then doubt it; this search for authority and its sequel, disillusionment, it a painful process for most of us. - You discover yourself, not in isolation, not in withdrawal, but in relationship.- The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself, because the self is the product and a part of the total process of human existence. The Book of Life is perfect for anyone interested in shifting their mindset, decreasing their stress levels, embracing a happier framework, and open to daily meditations.

Axel Vervoordt: The Story of a Style
Axel Vervoordt began his career as an art and antiques dealer in the late 1960s, when he meticulously renovated a narrow street with sixteen of the oldest houses in Antwerp. In 1986, his company moved to a castle near Antwerp. Axel Vervoordt's company grew rapidly in this castle and he became a major collector and decorator. The foundation of Vervoordt's style is his commitment to making the past a relevant part of today's design. By juxtaposing different works of art, gathered throughout space and time, a spontaneous dialogue between them is revealed, creating a new dimension for the future. Axel Vervoordt transcends the roles of decorator and collector. He understands the power of objects to conjure up an entirely new atmosphere and knows exactly where to place them to transform the space. This gorgeous book will be an inspiration to anyone interested in a home that is elegant and personal without being ostentatious or superfluous.

Vanessa Bell: The Life and Art of a Bloomsbury Radical

With new research, including previously unpublished letters, Wendy Hitchmough explores the ways in which Bell (1879-1961) forged new pathways as a modernist woman. Writing openly about depression and mental health at a time when the subject was stigmatised, as well as challenging taboos surrounding women's bodies, Bell exploited the patriarchal society that oppressed her. She responded to the nudes and pastoral scenes of C?zanne, Gauguin, Picasso, and Matisse with themes of miscarriage and motherhood. She exhibited with her partner, Duncan Grant, and comparisons between their parallel careers highlight the gender disparities that shaped her life and work. Vanessa Bell: The Life and Art of a Bloomsbury Radical celebrates the artist's trailblazing approach to art as ...
