Notice: This is a SUMMARY of “Chatter. The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It” by Ethan Cross. A Buddhist monk once said, “There’s a radio playing in our head, Radio Station NST: Non-Stop Thinking.” And this is definitely the case. It broadcasts every minute of every day and only stops working at night. And its content is mostly dramatic: every now and then thoughts pop up in our head about what we missed, what we didn’t say, or who was treated unfairly. The flow of thoughts in our head is tiring and annoying, but simply trying to turn off the radio will not work. “And it is not necessary,” psychologists say. Our inner voice is an evolutionary signal that helps us respond to reality. And you will be able to come to an agreement with your inner voice if you know how your consciousness works. Ethan Cross has been studying the nature of conscious thought control for many years and is now ready to offer a simple but effective system for neutralizing the chatterbox in our head.

Notice: This is a SUMMARY of “Peace Is Every Step. The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life” by Thit Nhat Khan. Modern life is full of anxiety, stress, and bad news. Peace of mind is the most valuable currency. And somewhere in the mountains, Buddhist monks sit calmly in their poses, after having reached complete peace, without a care in the world.... Both scenarios are myths. Even in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we can feel beauty in the world. Buddhists are by no means out-of-this-world thinkers, proof of which is provided by the example of the Vietnamese monk Thit Nhat Khan, who for many years preached in different countries and has fought for peace in his homeland. In his main book, he offers advice that will be of use to people no matter what age or religion. The Teaching of Tit Nat Khan’s work does not need to be translated into a simple, worldly language – it is already transparent, like water. The meditations he teaches do not require special conditions – they are as simple as breathing. Everything you wanted to know about harmony and happiness is in his wise lessons.

На неизвестной земле живут десятки кланов лесных жителей. Каждый из них как семья из сотен человек – у всех его членов свое место и дело. Они верят в Великого Всеотца и следуют его заветам. «Твердиславичи» – один из таких кланов. Их главная ворожея Джейана Неистовая обладает даром собирать всю магическую силу сородичей воедино и поражать ею врагов. И эта сила ей очень пригодится, ведь ведуны Змеиного Холма, которые периодически нападают на поселения, ведут за собой лесную нечисть. Эти твари имеют броню, похожую на металл, которую не берёт магия. А чёрная кровь, что льётся из этих монстров, не что иное, как машинное масло… Но эти понятия лесному народу пока неведомы. Вождю клана Твердиславу и Джейане предстоит отправиться на поиск источника зла и узнать, что за пределами их земель существует другой мир, в котором за их сородичами кто-то наблюдает, и сама жизнь в клане не более чем иллюзия свободы.
