Aging isn’t easy. But it can still be filled with joy—maybe even more joy than we expect. Alive Until You’re Dead offers a Zen approach to aging. Zen teacher and writer Susan Moon’s stories explore being present with what is, not turning away from what’s difficult, wishing for and working for the wellbeing of others, and being willing not to know what’s next. Moon writes of her most personal vulnerabilities in the service of connecting with everyone. These field notes from an old human being invite us to feel more alive in the final stretch, whatever it holds.

Alcançou a Iluminação após 49 dias de meditação; o seu despertar levou-o a descobrir a causa do sofrimento e as formas de o eliminar.

The Way of Peace was written by James Allen, who was most famous for As a Man Thinketh. However, this book reflects more accurately his New Thought Movement affiliations, referencing as it does Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The Way of Peace contains many of the same ideas, but the focus is more on meditation, selfless love, and spiritual power.
