Стани каквото си е подбор от съчинения на Алън Уотс, засягащи дилемата на човека, който се стреми да открие себе си. Това става възможно само ако успеем да видим живота си какъвто е, освободени от илюзии и очаквания. Да се потопиш в хармонията на живота и неговото вечно сега означава да станеш каквото си."Казано е, че най-висшата мъдрост се състои в това да се откъснеш - да не съжаляваш за миналото, нито да се боиш от бъдещето, да оставиш живота да следва своя ход без опит за вмешателство в неговите движения и промени, без домогвания да удължиш приятните неща или да ускориш края на неприятните.

Making right desicions when you don't have all the facts. ... Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. There's always an element of luck that you can't control, and there's always information hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making? Annie Duke, a ... |

It isn't some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is ... |

Q: What should we call this diet? A: Call it the Bulgarian diet, call it Ivan D.'s diet, call it whatever you want, I don't care. My point is that a truly efficient diet must encompass one's entire lifestyle, not just this or that input and its ratio to the output. I just claim that some of your individual lifestyle's patterns can be contributing much more to your being fit and well than what and how much you eat. Indeed, I do claim that observing my Ten Golden Rules as strictly as possible warrants good health and fit body, and alleviates - actually makes completely obsolete - the need of counting ... |
