As an avid reader of strategy books, I would like to share some information about my favorite ones with those of you who might be looking for recommendations. Over the course of almost 10 years, I have read hundreds of strategy books, with very few left unread. However, I still remember a few outstanding ones that have been mentioned numerous times.
Bateson is one of my favorite authors; his books have transported me from the real world and made it impossible for me to put them down until I finish reading. Two of his titles, Steps to an Ecology of Mind and Mind and Nature, are my top choices. While my friends suggested that the first book was great, I eventually discovered Mind and Nature, which instantly became my favorite. Although the paperback edition initially discouraged me, once I started reading, I understood why Bantam described this book as a modern age classic known for its interconnectedness of all elements. The book provides a detailed introduction to the basic principles of understanding both nature and social studies deeply and exploring how they interconnect with each other.
The author begins by introducing very basic scientific terms that even … ...Read the rest.

Many people have a rather misguided understanding of the term mystical. They often associate it with unicorns and two-headed creatures when they hear the word mystical, connecting it with mythology and fairytales. However, the true meaning of mystical is more intricate and real than that of made-up stories.
The word mystical is related to mysticism, which is the study of life and the pursuit of a deeper meaning within it. It is not a religion or any kind of organized group. Mystical concepts go beyond everything we already know and understand.
Mystical concepts and philosophies are considered profound, requiring a person to genuinely think and delve into ideas and thoughts about life.
A mystic is someone who lives life differently from the average person. They are not concerned with everyday matters like work, paying bills, or deciding what to make for dinner. To them, life is a challenge or a puzzle that must be solved.
Mystical ideas are often difficult to describe because they extend far beyond conventional ways of thinking. In fact, many claim that mystical teachings and lifestyles are indescribable.
It is safe to say that mystical philosophies exist on the deepest level. After all, … ...Read the rest.

So, what is philosophy?
You’ve really clicked to read an article on philosophy? Well, since you haven’t clicked back yet, I know I only have a few seconds to impress. So, I’ll give you my brief description of what philosophy is. First and foremost, it’s not quick. Philosophy is different for each person. To me, philosophy involves examining things that are taken for granted and seeing things without the constraints of social conformity. While that sounds nice and all, it doesn’t exactly answer your question. So, I’ll provide an example to illustrate re-examining a topic that’s often taken for granted.
Knowledge of the external world: How do we know that what we see is real? It may seem obvious, but when I say I know my computer is in front of me – do I really? The answer is no; I can’t be absolutely sure that what I see is how the object truly is. This might sound strange, but let me ask you this: Haven’t there been instances where you thought you saw someone, only to find out upon closer inspection that it wasn’t that person at all? Even if you were entirely convinced it was that … ...Read the rest.

Alright, yoga has gained popularity worldwide, and everyone recognizes the benefits of moving, stretching, strengthening, and relaxing the body. Often, yoga classes serve as an alternative to gymnastics or aerobics, with a bit more allure due to their exotic touch. Many see a yoga instructor as simply a fitness trainer without the exercise machines.
If you agree with this view and want to maintain it, feel free to stop reading this article now.
Yoga is so much more than that! Have you ever attended a class led by a teacher who completed their Yoga Teacher Training in India, or learned from someone who studied directly from an authentic source rather than from a book? It’s okay if your instructor hasn’t been to India, but they should know yoga’s origins and essence. Yoga isn’t just about making your body as flexible as possible; it involves the mind and spirit too! Did you know that some yoga workshops dedicate only a quarter of their time to physical exercises, and yet they are incredibly profound experiences?
There is so much to explore in yoga: Pranayama (breathing exercises), eye exercises, Asanas, meditation Self-realization and meditation (yoga for the mind) - Peter Cajander allowed us to publish this part from his book Fragments of Reality. It talks about life from a personal perspective covering areas ranging from self-realization, meditation, stress, happiness, death, and everyday living. Peter is a writer, philosophical thinker, entrepreneur, strategy consultant, business executive, and author to name a few titles. He has been… , and ancient techniques that remain deeply relevant to our modern … ...Read the rest.
“Yoga is not gymnastics with incense sticks – Philosophy of Yoga and Meditation in daily life”

Philosophy in its history, keep hyperlinks with religion, and various philosophers were devout individuals, but occasionally outside the mainstream of official religion. The origins of strategy, nevertheless, look to be in opposition to religious thinking, the questioning of accepted values.
In the Middle Ages strategy was completely subordinated to theology, and was to serve rozumowemu explanation of the facts of Revelation. In the contemporary era, a few of the philosophical currents were irreligious or anti-clerical attitude (the Enlightenment, Marxism, scientism, positivism). In certain, were criticized in the shape of institutionalized religions.
Philosophy takes the human difficulties that provide meaning to human lifetime. Contemplation and interpretation of the planet, attempt to explain its structure, the genesis of the factors. We might identify it with rationality, so religion must signify the look for rationality in it. Philosophy is frequently based on abstraction, is fairly general.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel believed that the strategy of religion has a widespread meaning, different shape of content “General topics, common in itself, existing intelligence.” The religion is a shape of imaging, and strategy as conceptual – “clean, samoistniej?ca thought.” “Truth of religion come from outside” – refuses to need justification of rights.

I recently read an article discussing the ongoing financial crisis Global Financial Crisis and Books - While the entire world is facing the global financial crisis, publishers rush to get crisis books out. Not exactly a complaining, there are some interesting writings to check out. But I would like to know your ideas about this rush. Anyway, here are my suggestions for these months: Global Financial Crisis and Books The Subprime… . The author examined Eastern philosophy and how it differs from Western philosophy. The article was well-written in many aspects, and the author concluded that the financial crisis was ultimately caused by greed, a point I agree with, and I would also add that envy plays a role as well.
However, the author seemed to blame Western philosophy for the crisis. They argued that the Western tendency to view ourselves as separate from our surroundings contributed to this problem. I cannot fully agree with this perspective. Instead, I would argue that it is the technological power wielded by the West that has allowed its greed and envy to become such significant and destructive forces globally. This has been the case since the Industrial Revolution began in Western Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Having visited many places around the world, I have not observed greed and envy being less prevalent in Eastern countries than in Western ones. In my opinion, greed and envy are nearly universally distributed.
I believe the issue lies not in the philosophies of the East and West, but rather in the general lack of … ...Read the rest.
