Book excerpt: ""What's so original about this many?" asked a visitor. "All he gives you is a hash of stories, proverbs, and sayings from other masters."" "A woman disciple smiled. She once had a cook, she said, who made the most wonderful hash in the world." ""How on earth do you make it, my dear? You must give me the recipe."" "The cook's face glowed with pride. She said, "Well, Ma'am, I'll tell yer: beef's nothin'; pepper's nothin'; onion's nothin': but when I throws myself into the hash - that's what makes it what it is."" "That's what you'll find in the second part to De Mello's one minute nonsense - more one minute nonsense - an assortment of stories, proverbs, and sayings from a master thrown together with a dash of Anthony De Mello. The master referred to is no one in particular - he is a Hindu guru, a Jewish rabbi, a Zen Roshi, a Taoist sage. He is Jesus, Lao Tzu, and Socrates. The master's teaching is timeless. These anecdotes will not be easy to understand and should be read and pondered one at a time. Within the pages of more one minute nonsense you'll find wise, witty, yet puzzling responses to life's many questions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Bullet Chess written by Hikaru Nakamura and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chess in the Fast Lane! Can anyone play a decent game of chess in one minute? Surprisingly, the answer is "Yes" as this unique book reveals. "Bullet” chess, where each player has one minute for the entire game, has attracted thousands of followers since it was popularized on the internet a decade ago. In this book the authors discuss the relationship between the position on the board and time on the clock, the techniques and dangers of "pre-moving,” bullet openings, the importance of the initiative and consistent strategy, and how endings are different in bullet chess. The authors also explore the psychology of bullet chess and the most common causes of tactical oversights and blunders. The many examples illustrate the principles of bullet chess and how they may even apply to blitz chess and time scrambles in standard chess. Most of all, bullet chess is shown to be entertaining and addictive, and not at all as random as it first appears.

Download or read book One Minute Wisdom written by Anthony De Mello and published by Image. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through profound spiritual insights and his unique approach to the inner life, internationally acclaimed author Anthony de Mello points the way toward new levels of contemplation, happiness, love, wisdom, and enlightenment. In more than two hundred parables and lessons about living life fully yet simply, de Mello gives examples filled with wisdom that cannot be conveyed in regular direct discourse. Rooted in the spirit of the Gospel and spanning the mystical traditions of East and West, this invigorating volume -- like all the author's previous books -- is intended to enliven our faith and free us from whatever imprisons our mind, body, and soul. One Minute Wisdom will lead from sense to sensitivity, from mood to meaning, from thought to feeling. And as de Mello writes, "Wisdom can come without the slightest effort—in the time it takes to open your eyes." Wherever your spiritual belief may lie—or even if you have no beliefs at all—you will find in these pages needed and helpful direction on continuing the process of self-discovering and on finding the satisfying riches that lie deep within you.

Download or read book The One-Minute Workout written by Martin Gibala and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, the solution to the #1 reason we don’t exercise: time. Everyone has one minute. A decade ago, Martin Gibala was a young researcher in the field of exercise physiology—with little time to exercise. That critical point in his career launched a passion for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), allowing him to stay in shape with just a few minutes of hard effort. It also prompted Gibala to conduct experiments that helped launch the exploding science of ultralow-volume exercise. Now that he’s the worldwide guru of the science of time-efficient workouts, Gibala’s first book answers the ultimate question: How low can you go? Gibala’s fascinating quest for the answer makes exercise experts of us all. His work demonstrates that very short, intense bursts of exercise may be the most potent form of workout available. Gibala busts myths (“it’s only for really fit people”), explains astonishing science (“intensity trumps duration”), lays out time-saving life hacks (“exercise snacking”), and describes the fascinating health-promoting value of HIIT (for preventing and reversing disease). Gibala’s latest study found that sedentary people derived the fitness benefits of 150 minutes of traditional endurance training with an interval protocol that involved 80 percent less time and just three minutes of hard exercise per week. Including the eight best basic interval workouts as well as four microworkouts customized for individual needs and preferences (you may not quite want to go all out every time), The One-Minute Workout solves the number-one reason we don’t exercise: lack of time. Because everyone has one minute.
