Right Relationship: Building
a Whole Earth Economy
Peter G. Brown
PB AUD29.95
|
|
Our current economic system, which
assumes endless growth and limitless potential
wealth, flies in the face of the fact that the
earth's life support capacity is finite.
This book, written by a cooperative
group, emerged from the Quaker tradition of dialogue
and truth seeking.
Five questions become the premise
of the books chapters:
- What is the economy for?
- How does it work?
- How big should it be?
- What is a fair distribution of
its benefits and burdens? and
- How should it be governed?
The introduction gets things started
with definitions of key terms such as 'right relationship',
'commonwealth of life and 'whole earth economy'.
The authors of this book are participants in the
Moral Economy Project launched by the Quaker Institute
for the Future in 2005.
As part of that project the Quaker
Institute sponsored and supported this book.

Mindful Eating
Dr. Jan Chozen Bays
PB and CD AUD39.95
|
|
The art of mindfulness can transform
our struggles with food, and renew our sense of
pleasure, appreciation and satisfaction with eating.
Dr. Jan Chozen Bays states in her
introduction that she wrote this book to address
the increasing and unnecessary form of suffering.
In her role as a physician she sees how eating
problems can lead to debilitating illnesses and
even death not to mention the emotional suffering.
In her view Mindful Eating is the
way forward. It is in the thinking mind that the
problems with food are started.
Inspired by the outcomes at mindful
eating retreats, mindful eating is an approach
that involved bringing your full attention to
the process of eating, to all the tastes, smells,
thoughts and feelings that arise during a meal.
You will learn how to tune into
your own body's wisdom about what, when and how
much to eat and to identify your habits and patterns
with food.
Included is a 75 minute audio program
with guided exercises for getting started with
Mindful eating.
Jan Chozen Bays will be the guest
speaker at the 2009
AABCAP conference in Sydney August
28th - 30th.

Touching the Earth
Thich Nhat Hanh
PB AUD19.95
|
|
This is a guide to one of Thich
Nhat Hanh's most popular and transformative practices.
Written as 46 short conversations
with the Buddha, this practice, called Beginning
Anew, has the capacity to remove obstacles brought
about by past wrongdoings and bring back the joy
of being alive as well presenting the opportunity
to heal our relationships and to embrace our ancestors
and ourselves.
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese
Buddhist monk whose lifelong efforts to generate
peace and reconciliation moved Martin Luther King
to nominate him for the Nobel peace prize in 1967.

Writing in the Sand
Thomas Moore
HC AUD54.95
|
|
In this book Thomas Moore studies
the Gospels and reconsiders the common interpretations
that have been preached through organised religion
for the past two thousand years.
His writing identifies a more human
Jesus whose teachings act as a guide to creating
a happier and more meaningful life.
As he examined the original Greek
texts Moore was able to draw on his theology and
psychology knowledge, dismissing the cautionary
voice of earlier interpretations.
By exploring the deeper significance
of language and the origins of words and their
many levels of meaning he is able to give a compassionate
view of the lessons from the Gospels' most significant
stories.
In a time when religious beliefs
and dogma seem to be creating more distance and
strife Moore helps us remember that the kingdom
of heaven is not a destination but something that
resides within all of us.
