An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth【電子書籍】[ Chris Hadfield ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>Back on the earth after three spaceflights, Chris Hadfield's captivating memoir <em>An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth</em> reveals extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality. This edition contains a new afterword.</strong></p> <p>Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield's success ? and survival ? is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst ? and enjoy every moment of it.</p> <p>In his book, <em>An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth</em>, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement ? and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.</p> <p>You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth ? especially your own.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Commander: The Life and Exploits of Britain's Greatest Frigate Captain【電子書籍】[ Stephen Taylor ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>"Nobody describes a naval battle better than Taylor…a flawless demonstration of the biographer’s craft." ーJan Morris, <em>The Guardian</em></strong></p> <p>Edward Pellew, captain of the legendary <em>Indefatigable</em>, was quite simply the greatest British frigate captain in the age of sail. Left fatherless at age eight, with a penniless mother and five siblings, Pellew fought his way from the very bottom of the navy to fleet command. Victories and eye-catching feats won him a public following. Yet he had a gift for antagonizing his better-born peers, and he made powerful enemies. Redemption came with his last command, when he set off to do battle with the Barbary States and free thousands of European slaves. Opinion held this to be an impossible mission, and Pellew himself, leading from the front in the style of his contemporary Nelson, did not expect to survive.</p> <p>Pellew’s humanity, fondness for subordinates, and blind love for his family, and the warmth and intimacy of his letters, make him a hugely engaging figure. Stephen Taylor gives him at last the biography he deserves.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Rumi Prescription How an Ancient Mystic Poet Changed My Modern Manic Life【電子書籍】[ Melody Moezzi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>A powerful personal journey to find meaning and life lessons in the words of a wildly popular 13th century poet</strong>.</p> <p>Rumi's inspiring and deceptively simple poems have been called ecstatic, mystical, and devotional. To writer and activist Melody Moezzi, they became a lifeline. In <em>The Rumi Prescription</em>, we follow her path of discovery as she translates Rumi's works for herself - to gain wisdom and insight in the face of a creative and spiritual roadblock. With the help of her father, who is a lifelong fan of Rumi's poetry, she immerses herself in this rich body of work, and discovers a 13th-century prescription for modern life.</p> <p>Addressing isolation, distraction, depression, fear, and other everyday challenges we face, the book offers a roadmap for living with intention and ease, and embracing love at every turn--despite our deeply divided and chaotic times. Most of all, it presents a vivid reminder that we already have the answers we seek, if we can just slow down to honor them.</p> <p><em>You went out in search of gold far and wide, but all along you were gold on the inside.</em></p> <p><em>Become the sky and the clouds that create the rain, not the gutter that carries it to the drain.</em></p> <p><em>You already own all the sustenance you seek. If only you'd wake up and take a peek.</em></p> <p><em>Quit being a drop. Make yourself an ocean.</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Surrender Experiment My Journey into Life's Perfection【電子書籍】[ Michael A. Singer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>Michael A. Singer, author of <em>The Untethered Soul,</em> tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to let go of his personal preferences and simply let life call the shots. As Singer takes you on this great experiment and journey into life's perfection, the events that transpire will both challenge your deepest assumptions about life and inspire you to look at your own life in a radically different way.</p> <p>Spirituality is meant to bring about harmony and peace. But the diversity of our philosophies, beliefs, concepts, and views about the soul often leads to confusion. To reconcile the noise that clouds spirituality, Michael Singer combines accounts of his own life journey to enlightenment - from his years as a hippie-loner to his success as a computer program engineer to his work in spiritual and humanitarian efforts - with lessons on how to put aside conflicting beliefs, let go of worries, and transform misdirected desires. Singer provides a road map to a new way of living not in the moment, but to exist in a state of perpetual happiness.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Beyond the Miracle Worker The Remarkable Life of Anne Sullivan Macy and Her Extraordinary Friendship with Helen Keller【電子書籍】[ Kim E. Nielsen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>After many years, historian and Helen Keller expert Kim Nielsen realized that she, along with other historians and biographers, had failed Anne Sullivan Macy. While Macy is remembered primarily as Helen Keller's teacher and mythologized as a straightforward educational superhero, the real story of this brilliant, complex, and misunderstood woman, who described herself as a "badly constructed human being," has never been completely told.</p> <p><em>Beyond the Miracle Worker</em>, the first biography of Macy in nearly fifty years, complicates the typical Helen-Annie "feel good" narrative in surprising ways. By telling the life from Macy's perspective-not Keller's-the biography is the first to put Macy squarely at the center of the story. It presents a new and fascinating tale about a wounded but determined woman and her quest for a successful, meaningful life.</p> <p>Born in 1866 to poverty-stricken Irish immigrants, the parentless and deserted Macy suffered part of her childhood in the Massachusetts State Almshouse at Tewksbury. Seeking escape, in love with literature, and profoundly stubborn, she successfully fought to gain an education at the Perkins School for the Blind.</p> <p>As an adult, Macy taught Keller, helping the girl realize her immense potential, and Macy's intimate friendship with Keller remained powerful throughout their lives. Yet as Macy floundered with her own blindness, ill health, and depression, as well as a tumultuous and triangulated marriage, she came to lean on her former student, emotionally, physically, and economically.</p> <p>Based on privately held primary source material, including materials at both the American Foundation for the Blind and the Perkins School for the Blind, <em>Beyond the Miracle Worker</em> is revelatory and absorbing, unraveling one of the best known-and least understood-friendships of the twentieth century.</p> <p><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
