Maybe you have formed a vague idea of what it represents in your mind, or even more, maybe you're even a "practitioner", and try to apply Buddha's teachings in your every day life. You see, in life we are ALL in the same game, and yet most poeple don't realize it. Most people don't even take the time to think HOW they can improve their existence. Most people don't even know what "living in the present" is. That's precisely why a large majority of the world's population so desperately need Buddhism. They aren't living, they are surviving, transiting lives filled with hate and pain. And so I did, back before I was introduced to Buddha's lessons. It took me time to learn those lessons. It took me a lot of time and effort to incorporate the secrets that would ultimately shape my entire life! And now, I'm willing to share those secrets with you. I wrote this book for a reason. I wrote this book to show you HOW you can improve your life by applying Buddha's lessons. I wrote it to show you how you can set apart from the average path and go the whole way instead. You see, I may not know you, but I certainly know something about you: both you and me are alike. Whether you are just starting to get in touch with Buddhism, or even if you have already done that and are actually USING it to your advantage, I know you don't settle for average. I know you want something better. You won't stop until you fully enjoy your life. Until you fully grasp the path of simplicity, calmness, and inner peace. You won't stop until you truly achieve all you can achieve. And guess what? That's precisely what we will go for on this book! Hey, I'm not saying you should shave your head and climb up to a mountain to become a monk. You don't have to do that, trust me. My approach to Buddhism is different. I'm a modern guy. I'm aware of the world we live in, and I don't want to turn things upside down, and I guess neither do you. So, don't worry! I've got you covered. We'll go through Buddha's teachings and we will APPLY them into our daily modern lives. Because that's what's all about, isn't it? It's about improving our lives. Improving our focus. Improving our happiness. Finding our way to inner peace. Wow, I'm so glad to be here to share this amazing journey with you! My goal is simple. I will help you incorporate Buddhism into your life. I will help you simplify your thoughts, adopting Zen as a way of being, and not just doing. Sounds too difficult? It's not. I will show you how. I will take you through a step by step guide where you simply can't get lost! Together, we will go to the roots of Buddhism, Mindfulness & Meditation and transform that knowledge into an incredibly journey that will forever change the way you approach life. So let's go for it! Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn Inside... Buddhism Is Easier Than You Think!

    Full Iron-Distance races require such painstaking planning and sacrifice that it’s difficult to keep life in balance. The Half Iron-Distance is accessible, while remaining challenging.    Also known as the “70.3” for the sum of its 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and 13.1 mile run, the half-iron triathlon is not simply a race for which an athlete can use a full-iron training regimen chopped in half. Doing so would in no way approach maximizing an athlete’s performance. The races are performed at completely different intensity levels, with completely different approaches. As a result, the training is completely different.       IronFit Secrets to Half Iron-Distance Triathlon Success does for the half-iron what Be IronFit has done for the full-iron. It provides three sixteen-week training programs—Competitive, Intermediate, and “Just Finish”—and details everything an athlete needs to know to successfully prepare for and maximize performance at this racing distance. In as little as four months, any athlete can be physically and mentally ready for the world’s most popular triathlon challenge.

    Gravity is a compilation of Q&A posts from Mark Rippetoe s StrengthMill forum. Edited for brevity, efficiency, clarity, accuracy, and taste (in a loose sense, sorry), Mean Ol' Mr. Gravity adds to the information available in Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training and Practical Programming for Strength Training by tailoring it to the individual through his responses to questions posed by actual humans regarding their own training. It preserves the coarseness, humor, and candor that have become Rip s trademark style. A Question. Goombahboy: Hey Rip, why would you make a book out of a bunch of posts that are already available on the web? What could you possibly have been thinking? Mark Rippetoe: An excellent question. I have no idea, other than the fact that a book like this makes an excellent bathroom companion. The reading-kind of companion. Information and humor in small, easily managed chunks. Conveniently digestible pieces, as it were. Well, you know what I mean. Bozo1988: Yeah, what were you thinking? I mean, I know there s a lot of information here, I know that all of the really stupid stuff that would waste my time while reading it online has been removed, and that the videos posted on the board don t load very fast in a book format anyway, but why a book? Mark Rippetoe: Look, just read the damn thing, okay? You ll be fine.
