"In the age of hot takes and trolling, this expansive and funny study of the art and science of trash talk reveals something essential about public life--and even human nature. In the modern economy and culture, fame and virality have become increasingly difficult to separate from success. From athletes to comedians to politicians to big-ticket CEOs, everyone seemingly has to manage their brand. Saying the wrong thing is often more profitable than saying the right one. We are all, it seems, engaged in a giant insult comedy roast, even when we don't want to be. The tradition of talking trash goes back to ancient Greece, and is not always innocent fun. Who gets to do it to whom, how, and when? In this energetic and wide-ranging book, Rafi Kohan takes the measure of this sneakily important practice. Talking to historians, athletes, comedians, and more, he describes what they do and why they do it, and also asks why it's so central to the human experience. From military stress tests at Fort Bragg to the basketball court to the Jeff Ross Roast Battle, he writes about what's funny and what's mean, where the line is, and the consequences--sometimes severe--of crossing it. Trash Talk is full of good jokes and bad jokes, name-calling and moralizing. But it's also belonging, freedom, and how to live with other people"--
Everything you ever wanted to know about running... ... is in a different book! This book, Running in Real Life, is a selection of stories, anecdotes and race reports that paint a picture of what running is really like when you are not completely perfect at it, and mostly do it to socialise and eat cake. If it does answer any questions for you, it is likely to be the ones you never knew you wanted to ask, such as: Where do most runners choose for a wild wee?What is a NENDY?Are there any pitfalls to naked running?This book doesn't expect you to be a superstar athlete and, in return, it doesn't tell you how to be one. It just wants to let you know that if you run then you are a runner, regardless of your pace, ability or the length of your shorts. Oh, and it also serves to warn you about accidentally flashing race photographers, avoiding dodgy portaloos, and why citrus fruit is not a good choice for your pre-race breakfast!
It has been said that man shall not live off of bread alone. All people need food for the soul. Dr. Jakub Tencl takes the reader on a spiritual journey and challenges previous interpretations of the realm of the unknown. "The Mystery of Life" contains 12 Chapters that expound on Jakub's personal experiences and spiritual growth.Dr. Jakub Tencl started his spiritual journey at an early age. His earliest memories of spiritual exploration came to him through dreams. Jakub first saw his death in a dream at a young age, and that dream dramatically altered the course of his life. He became an avid researcher of spirituality.Jakub's lifelong search for truth led him down many paths. He obtained a deeper understanding of love and cultivated his mind to explore horizons. Meditation became his guiding post to awareness. His daily meditations became a lifelong practice that aided his spiritual journey. Meditation made Jakub realize that everyone is connected to the same life source.This book is Jakub's powerful reflection on the depth and breadth of life. Through the ups and downs of his life, he is able to unearth a fundamental truth about life. This truth? Mastery of self is a crucial element in spirituality. Spirituality doesn't have a reward list or gifts for good behavior. According to Jakub, "...in our Western thinking, we only look for effectiveness, for something that can be measured, and we tend to expect something conditional...."One must look beneath the surface of any situation to better understand the spiritual world around us and the very forces that govern our existence. This book is a walk-through of spiritualism in the modern era, and it shows how one can reconnect with one's true self. The principles of self-love and inner peace are explored within these pages as the author guides the reader through his journey.It is necessary to experience self-realization to achieve a true and constant state of happiness. This state of happiness is what some call "inexhaustible bliss." Self-realization allows one to understand one's place in the universal order. The realization of self also enables a person to clearly understand that there is a difference between the mind and the physical body. One will be on the right path to true enlightenment when one can accept themselves for their innate abilities and talents. "The Mystery of Life" is an excellent vehicle for such a journey.
Les vaccins contre le coronavirus d'un point de vue spirituelEffets sur l'âme et l'esprit et la vie après la mortLa vaccination est un sujet qui divise l'opinion depuis longtemps. Aujourd'hui, dans le contexte du Covid-19, ce débat s'est encore polarisé.Illustré tout au long de l'ouvrage par des photos en couleur, « La vaccination contre le coronavirus d'un point de vue spirituel » présente des faits scientifiques, mais aussi des recherches qui nécessitent des méthodes relevant de la science de l'esprit. Dirigé par Thomas Mayer, l'auteur principal, le volume rassemble des rapports, des expériences et des commentaires de plus de cinquante contributeurs dotés de capacités de clairvoyance et de perception psychique. D'après leurs observations, les vaccins contre le Covid ne sont pas d'« inoffensives piqûres », mais des interventions potentiellement violentes dans les structures subtiles du corps, de l'âme et de l'esprit humains. Ils ont même des implications pour la vie d'un individu au-delà de la mort : au lieu d'évoluer dans l'au-delà, l'âme pourrait rester liée à la Terre et souffrir profondément.Bien que les conclusions de ce livre puissent paraître alarmantes, l'intention de l'auteur n'est pas de susciter la peur. Il cherche seulement à fournir des informations utiles et à éclairer le lecteur, en montrant comment les personnes vaccinées et les non-vaccinées peuvent aborder ce sujet de manière consciente, courageuse et avec de l'espoir pour l'avenir.

The study of aerobic and anaerobic parameters is crucial in sports physiology, as it helps to evaluate the fitness levels of athletes and determine the type of training required to improve their performance. Ganesh Poojary's research on the comparative study of aerobic and anaerobic parameters in sports provides valuable insights into the assessment of these parameters and their relationship with sports performance.The study involves measuring the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of athletes from various sports, such as cricket, football, and athletics. The parameters assessed include VO2max, lactate threshold, and peak power output. The results of the study show that athletes who have higher aerobic capacity perform better in endurance sports, while those with higher anaerobic capacity perform better in high-intensity sports.The study also highlights the importance of training to improve both aerobic and anaerobic capacity, as a balance between these two parameters is crucial for optimal sports performance. The findings of this research have significant implications for sports coaches and trainers, as they can use this information to design effective training programs tailored to the specific needs of athletes from different sports.

Listen, Learn, Share culminates a lifetime of study, research, and exploration by James R. (Jim) Martin, an Emmy award-winning documentary director, producer, writer, and university professor. He has written this book to share what he believes is a way to live without stress, anxiety, and worry. Learn to listen to your body, mind, and world. Understand your true nature. Listening is a state of mind that leads to meaningful living. The word "mindfulness" exemplifies listening, learning, and sharing. This book outlines a path to mindfulness through learning enhanced listening skills. Filters in one's mind influence the process of listening and learning. These filters, acquired through heredity, cultural life experience, and other sources, predispose us to see the world through the past rather than the present. "Twenty-six centuries after Buddha taught his philosophy, science has begun to recognize that much of what he taught supports their research. Psychologists are now confirming the concept of "No Self" and the fact that "I" and "Me" are constructs of our minds. There is no "mini-me or self in our minds controlling our actions. Instead, there are thoughts generated by experience and genetic code. Once we can identify these thoughts by listening, we can make decisions based on present conditions. We do not need to be Buddhists to learn these techniques.

Domestic Violence is prominent among families in many churches. However, more times than not, when victims finally break their silence and confide in their Pastors, or someone in leadership, they are being given the advice to remain in an abusive relationship, because to divorce would not be pleasing to God. Silent Cry within the Church is geared toward violence among Christian couples, as well as, the children in the home who witness the violence. This book was written to not only shed light on Domestic Violence in Christian homes, but to show the correlation between child abuse and those who become perpetrators of Domestic Violence later in life. Contained within the pages of Silent Cry within the Church are the true testimonies of what victims of Domestic Violence have experienced in the church after bravely speaking out. In addition, Connie shares her family's story of what happens when the victim does not speak out, and the church chooses to ignore the signs of abuse.Enclosed is also a wealth of knowledge surrounding Domestic Violence, including resources for getting help, the NC Domestic Violence Laws and a section offering words of encouragement for victims and survivors of Domestic Violence. Whether a victim, perpetrator, or child, the answer to violence within the home is the same for all-Jesus Christ. He alone is our deliverer and healer of the broken heart.

None of the thousands of self-help, fitness, or nutrition books connect the dots as simply as is found in the pages of The Weight of Emotions. Most books provide systems and programs toward a desired outcome. Conversely, this volume examines the role of intention and process, ultimately leading the reader to examine their "whys" prior to their "hows".
