What Richard J. Leider and David A. Shapiro do know, however, is that a purposeful mindset is a fundamental component of a life well-lived. What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old? invites readers into the experience of two lifelong friends taking on the courageous conversation of aging well with honesty and purpose. In the first half of the book, readers are introduced to a framework for looking back over their lives and examining how they've arrived at the place they have. In the second half, readers are invited to look forward to purposeful aging with courage, compassion, and curiosity.
In their bestseller Repacking Your Bags, Leider and Shapiro defined the good life as "living in the place you belong, with people you love, doing the right work, on purpose." This book argues that aging well can be similarly defined as "aging in the place you belong, with people you love, doing the right 'work,' on purpose."]]>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C6343557https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C6343557Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6343557980EAUDIOBOOKThe Path of Purposeful Agingenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781663741592/MC.GIF&client=snoislepo&type=xw12&oclc=The speed, scope, and turbulence of the working world has increased exponentially over the last decade-plus. Work hours are steadily increasing, and people's work lives now extend far past 65. With so much time spent on the job, it's more important than ever to find work that makes the most of your unique gifts, interests, and passions-to discover your true calling. That's exactly what bestselling authors Richard Leider and David Shapiro help you do in Work Reimagined.
The authors combine a thoughtful and practical discussion about finding your calling with advice and examples showing how to apply these ideas to your life. Through a unique Calling Card exercise-available online-that features a guided exploration of 52 "natural preferences" (such as Advancing Ideas, Doing the Numbers, Building Relationships, Performing Events) the book gives readers a new way to detect and reflect on the core of their life's work. They mix in dozens of inspiring stories featuring individuals who have found, or are in the process of finding, their calling. This is an inspiring, effective, and entertaining approach to discovering the work you were born to do, no matter what stage of life you are in.]]>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2413015https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2413015Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2413015980EAUDIOBOOKUncover Your Callingenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781663745392/MC.GIF&client=snoislepo&type=xw12&oclc=—Sumo World
Completely updated by the well known sumo authority David Shapiro, Sumo: A Pocket Guide describes the history, rules, rituals and techniques of sumo, the wrestlers' training and even their diets. Covering such topics as "life in the stables," "psychological warfare," and the "spoils of victory," this compact sumo guide brings to life this cultural pastime that is so much more than a sport. This volume also includes a list of stables and some of the best chanko–nabe restaurants in Tokyo.
Shapiro brings to the updated edition many years of Japanese language, sumo research, and coverage. The result is a handy, up–to–date, and authoritative guide to sumo that provides everything one needs to understand, appreciate, and enjoy this fascinating sport.]]>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C1272826https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C1272826Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMThttps://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1272826980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781462904846/MC.GIF&client=snoislepo&type=xw12&oclc=https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2009345https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2009345Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2009345121BKThe Path of Purposeful Agingenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781523092451/MC.GIF&client=snoislepo&type=xw12&oclc=A newly translated volume of the centuries-old spiritual epic of King Gesar.
For centuries, the epic tale of Gesar of Ling has been told across Asia. This epic is a living oral tradition, performed widely by singers and bards and beloved especially in Tibet. Considered the longest single piece of literature in the world canon, the epic of Gesar chronicles the legend of King Gesar of Ling, a heroic figure known for his fearless leadership. The epic encompasses some 120 volumes and nearly 20 million words, and there are numerous versions across cultures.
This book is the first English translation of the fourth volume of this sweeping literary work, with stories from after Gesar's coronation to the throne of Ling. This volume focuses on battles won and strategies applied, as the warrior-king Gesar fended off demons and liberated his foes. Though largely a violent account focused on his superhuman prowess in battle, this volume is rich with ethical proverbs that inform Tibetan culture to this day. A significant work of legend, the epic of Gesar is also a vital part of Tibetan Buddhism, as Gesar is said to have been chosen by celestial beings to restore order and destroy anti-Buddhist forces.
The epic of Gesar is the cultural touchstone of Tibet, analogous to the Iliad or the Odyssey. While Book One covers Gesar's birth, youth, and rise to power, this volume recounts the martial victories and magical feats that made him a legendary figure to so many.]]>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C6197152https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C6197152Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6197152980EBOOKFrom the Epic of Gesarenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780834843745/MC.GIF&client=snoislepo&type=xw12&oclc=https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C1874785https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C1874785Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttps://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1874785121BKEvaluating, Repairing, and Upgrading Dated Systemsenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780071663571/MC.GIF&client=snoislepo&type=xw12&oclc=Join in the adventure as Jenna, Caleb, and Ari unlock the secret of time travel and journey back 15,000 years to witness the great Missoula Floods of the Ice Ages—the largest floods to have ever washed over the face of the earth.
