Book Description
In Zen: The Path of Paradox, Osho posits Zen as a possible bridge between East and West, and between science and religion. Zen encourages the reader to throw off the accumulated 'knowing' of a lifetime-to let go of physical, mental, and emotional tensions and relax into the moment of an extraordinary discourse. Zen: The Path of Paradox is a reissue of a classic Osho text, one in a series of three titles that explores Eastern spiritual topics. As he does in Tao: The Pathless Path and Yoga: The Science of the Soul, Osho delves deeply into a popular and important spiritual idea, with his bold, inimitable style and humor.

Zen and kokoro.......2005-08-27
It is a good book and it is about Osho's favourite concept, Zen. In fact he talks about the same subject in all the books I have read until now (five in total)so I think he does it a lot better in "Joy" or in "Awareness" for instance. What puts me off though is how being ignorant of so many things he speaks with such an authority about EVERYTHING. One example, he says the Japanese has a word "kokoro" that means nothingness. And it is nothing about that, "kokoro" means heart (the feelings) or even mind. He says, probably not in this book but in one of the above mentioned, that during zazen, someone hits you "on the head" if you doze. No, man, it is not on the head, it is between the shoulders.
He gets the meaning of Zen right, so probably it is not such a bit deal, but he says a lot of silly things too.
Perfectly Zen, maybe.

Book Description
In this striking sequel to his best-selling book
The Age of Unreason, Charles Handy shows how the changes he predicted are upon us. New developments in technology, radical changes in the global economy, and the relentless pursuit of productivity have altered forever our organizations, our careers, and our lifestyles. These changes are inevitable and irreversible, and they bring a host of new problems and paradoxes. This book identifies the unintended consequences of change and provides a set of guiding principles to cope with the paradoxes of modern life, leading to a more balanced existence for individuals, greater rewards for organizations, and a more just society for all.

The paradox: the presence of the myth in the Post Industrial Society!.......2005-10-04
The zealous analysis of the human behavior, the hidden clues conferred by the unconscious philosophy inserted in the myths, the absolute domain of the evolution of the paradigms, the constant and growing application in almost every one of our tangible and intangible systems and procedures around the knowledge 's universe, plus the prodigious imagination of Charles Handy has produced this admirable intelligent and audacious text that breaks the barriers of the conventional thinking around the well know managements issues.
All the organizations are supported unconsciously by ancient and similar facts immersed in the history. Handy has rethought, confirmed and carved in relief a magnificent example of what intelligence means: to reorder and focus from different angles the essential principles that underlie beneath the complexity and the increasing competitiveness of the modern world.
In this order of ideas, Handy plans and puts on the table of the leonine executive 's mind new proposals, demolishing certain behavior patterns that remain such authentic mental barriers. The paradoxes as well as the myths don' t pretend erect as perpetual life' s lessons, because this attitude would reveal precisely he rationalization of the mythical fact. Handy opposes the reality against the illusion of the reality and unmasks certain learned and absorbed models that we ten to assume as unerring. The paradoxes ' intention, in last instance is unbalance to rebalance, but you as manager is the only who can do it if you process the information and redistributes the iron laws in search of your role.
Innovation is simply an intelligent transformation, and this book bets for that device.
It baffles me how the book is so highly rated.......2001-04-15
It has virtually a few pages of sense that can be put into practice, and have any value.
I may be influenced by, my privilege of having lived in England from the mid seventies thru early eighties. He particularly acknowledges the former Labor Party, Tony Benn. This "socialist" even frightened moderate laborites of its time. Another one of those he acknowlges is former Vice President Al Gore, and for Mayor of New York, Mayor Dinkins. As a resident and taxpayer of New York, I know the true David Dinkins !
He correctly points out that Microsoft Corporation is merely "intelectual Property". I agree with him. Later on, he rambles on that ownership of Corporations and business's should be overhauled.
We can all learn from Japan and Germany, and without Japan the US Auto Industry would still be producing thousands upon thousands of junk. However, his reasons that British and American Society should adapt the German and Japanese systems are a joke. In reality, much which was implemented in the 80's in both UK and US is now hurriedly being copied in Germany.
His Chinese Contract is not even worth the time to comment on it !
Other than a few pages of real practicality and common sense, this book is nothing more than left wing rambling and nonsense
He says it is about time we paid the third world a fair price for their trees. I insist must replant trees, we must reduce the amount of paper we comsume. Culprits must not get off the hook. This,in my opinion, is essential whatever ones political beliefs. This paperback is about 320 pages. It is a pity so many trees have to be torn down and the end result is this junk
Refreshing and challenging.......2000-11-20
I read this for an MA course. Since Handy lives in Great Britain, he has a wonderfully refreshing view of leadership and political life (and how they work together). I'm so glad I read this book. It's conclusions are challenging but make sense.
Excellent Read for the MBA student!.......2000-05-05
Handy does an excellent job of defining key business and personal paradoxes. The best section was on the intellectual paradox which future managers need to know how to anticipate and deal with.
REVELATIONARY.......2000-01-05
A book that attacks the very core for some of our most reverential beliefs, exposes our modicum of understanding about the rationale in doing some of the things we do(assuming there is one)and puts across some eye-opening,some egregious thoughts without rancour or religious fervour in a cogent and organised manner
But I must add in the same vein that in my opinion, the most difficult thing to do after wooing an audience is assuring that one's attention remains unequivocally rivetted to the machinations of the author's thinking. To that extent, Handy flounders as his line of reasoning gets more and more nebulous. Even then, for sheer novelty, impact and articulate ratiocination, The Age of Paradox takes some beating
Book Description
By the time of his death in 1875, Eliphas Lévi was recognized in both Europe and America as the greatest occultist of the 19th century. In life, his work was the inspiration for Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma, the most influential American Masonic book of its day, and in death, it proved to be a seminal influence on figures as diverse as Madame Blavatsky, A.E. Waite, and Aleister Crowley—but during his lifetime none of his writings appeared in English.
The Paradoxes of the Highest Science first appeared in 1883 in Calcutta as a pamphlet in the Theosophical Miscellanies series. In it, Lévi makes an appeal for a balance between science and religion by addressing seven paradoxical statements including "Religion is magic sanctioned by authority," "liberty is obedience to the Law," and "reason is God." Included in this edition are the extensive and illuminating footnotes that were added to Lévi's text.
Some of these are by the anonymous translator, and some by the "Eminent Occultist" who seems to have been Madame Blavatsky herself. Lévi could have asked for no better commentator upon his work.

In response to Ronald Reagan's famous question, "Are we better off than we were 40 years ago?" The answer would have to be "materially yes, morally no," writes social psychologist David Myers. "Therein lies the American paradox," he continues. "We now have, as average Americans, doubled real incomes and double what money buys. We have espresso coffee, the World Wide Web, sport utility vehicles, and caller ID. And we have less happiness, more depression, more fragile relationships, less communal contentment, less vocational security, more crime (even after the recent decline), and more demoralized children."
Myers shuns the label of conservative or liberal, preferring to see himself as a social ecologist who abhors the dominance of material values. In fact, Myers is a visionary who asks important questions, such as why is marriage so difficult to maintain in our culture? Why are so many fathers abandoning families? Are rich people happier than poor people? What is the price we pay for radical individualism? He answers these questions with persuasive statistics and sound advice that cannot be neatly pigeonholed into one political camp or the other. As a result, this is a author with credibility, as he covers crucial chapters such as "The Past and Future of Marriage," "Money and Misery," "Educating for a Moral Compass," and "America's Children." --Gail Hudson
Book Description
In this compelling book, well-known social psychologist David G. Myers asks why in an era of great material wealth America suffers from such a disturbing array of social problems that reflect a deep spiritual poverty. Examining the research on social ills from the 1960s through the 1990s, Myers concludes that materialism and radical individualism have cost us dearly. He offers positive, well-reasoned advice on how to spark social renewal and dream a new American dream.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent read.......2006-07-19
I loved reading this book. There is so much useful information here on the fundamental shift in American culture toward individualism and away from social rules. Dr. Myers is also an amazing and engaging writer (there is a reason his textbooks are bestsellers). By the end of the book you will have a much better understanding of the paradox of the title: Why do we seem to have so much more, yet are not any happier? Dr. Myers has done a lot of research on happiness, and he shows how the things we now value (money) will not bring us as much happiness as the things we perhaps should value (marriage, children) and which have suffered in the last few decades.
If you teach, you could make a great class (freshman writing seminar, or upper-level discussion class) on American culture with this book and other books on this intriguing topic like The Great Disruption, Bowling Alone, and Generation Me.
The New American Dream.......2000-08-01
To hold David G. Myers book "The American Paradox" in your hands, is truly to be holding the solution to America's problems. This is perhaps the most enlightening book you will ever read in this decade. The sheer fortitude that it took to sort through the facts and figures between the 1960's and 1990's and come to these brilliant conclusions is nothing short of extraordinary.
Never has there been a more appropriate time to analyze our culture. This is a time of true spiritual hunger. If you want the reality of the situation you will find it here. Both self-described liberals and self-described conservatives will agree: There is no avoiding this deluge of facts. Perhaps now we can all have a common goal.
"The American Paradox" offers a sober appraisal of this present predicament and (finally!) gives a vision of hope for the future. We soon learn that the problems are many:
1. The divorce rate has doubled and women and children are impacted the most. 2. The teen suicide rate has tripled. 3. Marriages may start with euphoria, but many end in separation, anguish and divorce. 4. Most cohabitations break up before marriage. 5. Material wealth is at record levels, yet happiness has diminished. 6. We have replaced communal activities with TV and Web surfing. 7. We have placed a lower value on self-sacrifice, sexual restraint and moral obligation. 8. We have educated our children, while overlooking the need to teach them character. 9. The media gives false images of reality, which in turn have affected our children's thoughts and actions. 10. The pursuit of pleasure may in fact be amplifying misery.
We are also reminded that Gandhi once said that seven social sins could destroy a nation. I have the feeling we have committed far more. It seems we need to embrace principles which will enable us to realize "The New American Dream." This is a dream in which we encourage marriage, initiative, basic liberties, close relationships, empathy, self-discipline, character development, civility, fidelity, spiritual awareness, love for our fellow man, and a shared commitment to moral truth.
David Myers has set out the intellectual facts and figures with insight and fairness. There are no sides to take, but rather you will experience a feeling of enlightenment, hope and a new sense of determination. To me it is clear that we need to reexamine our social policies, make the media more responsible, and decide to change ourselves. Above all, we should protect our freedom by becoming personally responsible and making our marriages and families the top priorities in our lives. It is really up to us to decide our future. Often prevention is easier than the cure. Building character takes time and effort, but the rewards are immense.
Finally, I found a book my husband and I could read and discuss at length. What he said to me made perfect sense. When he plays softball everyone on the team has individual responsibilities yet they work as a collective whole to win the game. To me collectivism to its extreme is the political principle of centralized social and economic control, especially of all means of production. Individualism to its extreme is the belief that all actions are determined by, or at least take place for, the benefit of the individual, not of society as a whole. Individualism to its extreme could be said to be anarchy (a theory that regards the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society).
In my opinion, we need a basic set of rules to follow so we can respect one another. If we do not strike out as individuals we would simply be robots waiting for instructions. Clearly, there has to be a balance between personal responsibility and the responsibility we have to others. If we were all doing the job we were sent here to earth to do would not this world be a beautiful peaceful place? It is a delicate balance and somehow we have tipped the scale in the wrong direction. David's book tells us what has tipped this scale and takes us through a brilliant thought process to offer the solutions.
Pope John Paul III said it with wisdom: "To educate without a value system based on truth is to abandon young people to moral confusion, personal insecurity, and easy manipulation. No country, not even the most powerful, can endure if it deprives its own children of this essential good."
We must teach our children to read, to comprehend truth and to analyze what they are being told. Teach your children to think about issues which surround them now and in the future when they grow up they will thank you for it. I cannot thank my own parents enough for giving me security in my own beliefs and for giving me a head start in reading at a very young age. It is abundantly clear to me that America's parents will determine the future of our country. David G. Myers has built upon this thought, which I know many have wanted to voice but did not have a platform. I quote from his book:
"We cannot expect our schools alone to restore the moral infrastructure. Character is nurtured by families and supportive neighbors, churches, kin, and child-friendly media."
This vital guide will illuminate the dark path we are on. Hopefully, we will see the fork in the road and take the path to "The New American Dream."

Made me mad - no star.......2000-07-06
This book just made me mad. Myers rounds up all of the usual suspects: divorce, pornography, the media, out of wedlock children, and tells us that our permissive, rights-oriented society is to blame. He hops on the Communitarian bandwagon without critical analysis of how one compels community and whether it would be worth the price.
For example, he suggests, without a hint of analysis, that the 14th Amendment, rights of due process and equal protection, should trump First Amendment free speech. He hasn't a clue about how complex this argument is or where it would lead. Professor Myers claims impartiality as a "social scientist" when, in fact, the book skews the research to prove his point. Unfortunately, his "point" (our society is in the toilet - big surprise) doesn't lead anywhere.
Outstanding.......2000-05-01
I believe the title tells it all. In this time of enormous wealth, you would think people are donating more money to churches and charities, but they are giving even less. Wealth is at an all time high, but happiness and contentment are at historic lows. In the US we are so physically blessed but are nearing spiritual bankruptcy. We are unhappy at work, our marriages are falling apart and we walk aimlessly through life -- searching, searching, searching for "what's the meaning." This book aptly points out the real meaning has been there all along. Without a spiritual anchor, we'll continue to drift. I wish every American would read this book.
Highly recommended for failing marriages: "The Romantic's Guide" by Michael Webb.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.......2006-09-30
The first thing that caught my attention when I received my copy of The Living House of Oz was, of course, Eric Shanower's top-quality artwork on the colorfully gorgeous cover of this book. The wraparound dust jacket is skillfully designed to show the main characters without cluttering up the available space. As always, Eric displays his encyclopedic knowledge of all things Oz by rendering the building in traditional Neill style, while vastly improving the art with his own attention to detail.
Edward Einhorn, continuing in the same vein as his previous book Paradox in Oz (Hungry Tiger Press, 2000; reviewed in the Spring 2000 Baum Bugle), tells us the story of a boy named Buddy and all the denizens of the sentient house he lives in with his mother. When the house settles for a while near the Ozian kingdom of Tonsoria (where everyone is dedicated to hair-fashion in some way or another), the adventure begins as Buddy strays a little too far from home, and is soon tangled in an adventure brought about by the very reason the house keeps on the move. It turns out that Buddy, his mother, and the house are on the run, pursued by some very interesting characters. Naturally, it takes magic to make all this happen, and by Ozma's law, only a certain few can practice magic in Oz. But what about all the other good (or allegedly good) magicians in Oz: the Three Adepts, Red Reera the Yookoohoo, Dr. Pipt? There comes a time when performing magic is necessary, and violating that law is a strong theme in this gloriously written and illustrated book.
Of course, one cannot review a book illustrated by Eric Shanower without raving about the art. The dust jacket, the full-color endpapers, the illustrations, and the map and bookplate from the limited edition are all stellar examples of the care and effort that Eric pours into each picture. Look at the cover a second time and you'll see Buddy's mother hiding in the house's tower. Each face on everything inside the house has its own distinct personality, as shown on the endpapers. And the strong line work in the interior black and white illustrations makes for crisp, clear and accurate depictions of what goes on in the book. There's a wonderful double-page spread on pages 146-147 that gathers together a lively bunch of Ozian celebrities; it not only gives us several characters from the famous forty (like Glinda, Jack Pumpkinhead, Scraps, Tik-Tok, Handy Mandy, Captain Salt, Ozana, Button Bright, Ojo, Sir Hokus, Kabumpo and more) but also characters from books Eric's been involved in, such as Flicker, Imogene the cow, the Salt Sorcerer, and Abatha (the Good Witch of the East).
Einhorn's story brings about a novel turn of events that reintroduces readers to familiar (and not-so-familiar) favorites such as Tollydiggle the jailer, the former Flatheads, Red Reera the Yookoohoo, the Three Adepts, and even a hostile enemy commonly long-forgotten. But looks are not everything. A wonderful theme about kindness and love in the form of a stereotypical enemy (much like Kericot the Considerate Kalidah from Phyllis Ann Karr and Melody Grandy's stories) fits perfectly in this story. In fact, without that element, I don't think Einhorn's text would have been as good as it is. The story is very Baumian, with several polite nods to established history, and very Thompsonian in the epic character-driven adventures. However, Einhorn has his own unique writing style, which turns out to be very enjoyable and actually quite intellectual without going over the heads of younger readers. You won't find any condescending "down-talk" aimed at children. This is a book that adults and kids will both appreciate.
As for the living house itself ... well, there's much to be enjoyed about it. The house is alive, the stairs are alive, the railing is alive, the silverware and pots and pans are alive, the bookshelf and books are alive, the beds ... in fact, I'd believe it if the dust were alive! But of course Einhorn focuses only on relevant characters (and characteristics) within the house. Readers will particularly enjoy meeting the Earl of Haberdashery, a coat-tree with a scarf and various other articles of clothing that make up its body. His personality is very outgoing and vibrant, if often befuddling. He provides the comic relief for the tale, yet plays a very important role in the outcome of the story.
The production is also a treat. The book is a Smythe sewn, hardcover layout in the traditional Reilly & Lee size and format. With the production team of Hungry Tiger Press putting forth every effort to make this book as aesthetically pleasing as it is literarily pleasing, you can't go wrong adding it to your library. In fact, I highly recommend getting an extra copy to donate to your local library. Futhermore, I cannot stress enough the value of the signed collector's edition of this book. The extras are well worth it--the map, the book plate, the autographs ... yet what the true collector cannot be without is the deluxe edition, which contains not only the extras that are in the signed edition, but a copy of Einhorn's play "Unauthorized Magic in Oz," extra illustrations (!!) by Shanower, and is housed in a decorative slipcase. This book is so very appealing that I thoroughly believe folks who pick it up might soon want to read more about Oz!
When Einhorn and Shanower unite, Oz comes to life.......2006-07-23
The Living House of Oz is Edward Einhorn's second collaboration with Eric Shanower on an Oz novel. The first, Paradox in Oz, was critically aclaimed, and took Ozma, the fairy ruler of Oz, on a rollercoaster ride through time into an alternative Oz where good and evil characters were reversed.
The Living House of Oz has the classic structure of an Oz novel: a young child coming of age visits Oz and, through his adventures and interactions with the good people of Oz, he matures and overcomes a crisis. In this case Buddy and his sorceress mom have fled to Oz to find safety, but have to hide because his mother uses illegal magic to protect him from danger. When she is discovered and brought to Ozma, all Oz is threatened by her enemies.
Although the structure is traditional, Einhorn brings it new life with his examination of the two themes of Nature vs. Nurture and the Role of Law in a Just Society. Einhorn's delightfully eccentric characters, like the living hat stand called the Earl of Haberdashery and the tuneful flying piccolo Flutefly, lend the work a joyful and humorous presence that is brought to life by Shanower's beautiful illustrations. His color cover and endpapers and the black and white drawings throughout the book show that he is still the best living artist of Oz themes. Einhorn has shown himself to be a master of the Oz genre by skillfully weaving in, not only themes from his previous novel, but also from two of L. Frank Baum's original series: The Emerald City of Oz and Glinda of Oz. Together Einhorn and Shanower are the best Oz Historians since the original team of Baum and Neill. They capture the essence of Oz as Baum and Neill imagined it and keep its timeless character, while presenting a sensibility that can be understood by a modern audience.
Excellent addition to the Oz Mythos.......2006-03-05
A sequel to Einhorn's own
Paradox in Oz, this is the story of a sorceress and her son who live in a Living House, a magical home that is, itself, alive -- and so is
everything in it. Ozma, long ago, passed a decree that the use of magic was unlawful for anyone but herself, Glinda and the Wizard. When Buddy's mother, Mordra, is found to be practicing magic, she is arrested and brought to the Emerald City to stand trial, sending Buddy on a quest to rescue her.
Einhorn is very faithful to the world that L. Frank Baum created. He uses the original Baum characters in a very consistent fashion, and even better, he crafts new characters to add to the mythos that seem perfectly at home with the likes of the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and the Cowardly Lion. (The Earl of Haberdashery, for example -- a living coatrack with a scarf for a face and a tendency towards severe exaggeration.)
Einhorn actually manages to do one thing even better than Baum, at least for the sensibilities of a modern reader. Baum's books were written in the early years of the 20th century, a more innocent time, and many of the original books fall short in communicating a feeling of actual danger to our heroes. Einhorn creates a genuine threat and genuine excitement in this book, but does so without compromising the sweetness of Baum's world. Baum, to this day, is categorized as "The Royal Historian of Oz." Although many, many writers have tried to fill that role in the decades since his death, Einhorn is without a doubt one of the best.

Book Description
For centuries people have been puzzled by the inevitability of human aging. For most of the second half of the twentieth century aging remained a mystery, or an unsolved biological problem. At the end of the 20th century a remarkable scientific discovery emerged. It was not a single discovery in the usual sense, because it was based on a series of important interconnected insights over quite a long period of time. These insights made it possible for the very first time to understand the biological reasons for aging in animals and man. It can already be said, however, that the many observations and insights that explain aging will not be accepted as established knowledge for a long time. The field is still full of scientists, and non-scientists, who are just happy to go on speculating about the "mystery" of aging. The aim of this book is to dispel ignorance by explaining in non-technical language what are the reasons for aging and the myth of excessive prolongation of life.
