I Universet er med dig guider den unge, populære spirituelle lærer Gabrielle Bernstein os til at give slip på frygt og følelsen af konstant at ville være i kontrol – og til at overgive os til livet og en højere mening. Hun tager udgangspunkt i sin egen historie og et angstanfald, der manifesterede sig som fysiske symptomer, og som tilsyneladende dukkede op ud af det blå på et tidspunkt, hvor hun syntes, hun havde styr på alt i sit liv. Bernstein beskriver måder, hvorpå frygt umærkeligt kan sætte dagsordenen i vores liv, og hvordan vi tit saboterer os selv. Helt uden vi lægger mærke til det, kommer vi tit til at lade vores velbefindende afhænge af ydre omstændigheder. Hun pointerer nødvendigheden af, at vi til stadighed videreudvikler os og blive mere bevidste. Det drejer sig om at slippe fri af begrænsende mønstre og lære at overgive sig til kærligheden – at ’blive’ kærligheden og sprede den ud i verden. Bogen er fuld af psykologisk og åndelig indsigt og inspiration og redskaber til at finde større mening med livet og leve med mere glæde.

'This radiant book will not only change your life, but perhaps even save it' Elizabeth Gilbert'Martha Beck's genius is that her writing is equal parts comforting and challenging. A teacher, a mother, a sage, she holds our hand as she leads us back home to ourselves' Glennon Doyle_____________________Bestselling author, life coach and sociologist Martha Beck explains why 'integrity' - being in harmony with ourselves - is the key to a meaningful and joyful lifeIn The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us-people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits-all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. She shows how to read our internal signals that lead us towards our true path, and to recognize what we actually yearn for versus what our culture sells us.With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist, life coach and human being to help readers to uncover what integrity looks like in their own lives. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that not only will change the direction of our lives, but bring us to a place of genuine happiness.

'He explains how even in the face of the unthinkable, happiness is still possible' - StylistSolve for Happy is the equation for happiness.This is a startlingly original book about creating and maintaining happiness, written by a top Google executive with an engineer's training and fondness for thoroughly analyzing a problem. In 2001, Mo Gawdat, a remarkable thinker whose gifts had landed him top positions in half a dozen companies and who - in his spare time - had created significant wealth, realized that he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would, examining all the provable facts and scrupulously following logic. When he was finished, he had discovered the equation for enduring happiness.Ten years later, that research saved him from despair when his college-aged son, Ali - also intellectually gifted - died during routine surgery. In dealing with the loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of 'moonshot' that he and his Google [X] colleagues were always aiming for: he would help ten million people become happier by pouring his happiness principles into a book and spreading its message around the world.One of Solve for Happy's key premises is that happiness is a default state. If we shape expectations to acknowledge the full range of possible events, unhappiness is on its way to being defeated. To steer clear of unhappiness traps, we must dispel the six illusions that cloud our thinking (e.g., the illusion of time, of control, and of fear); overcome the brain's seven deadly defects (e.g., the tendency to exaggerate, label, and filter), and embrace five ultimate truths (e.g., change is real, now is real, unconditional love is real).By means of several highly original thought experiments, Mo helps readers find enduring contentment by questioning some of the most fundamental aspects of their existence.
