Fully Alive - Elizabeth Oldfield - Bog

Using the seven deadly sins as a structure, Elizabeth Oldfield discovers ways to live meaningfully and develop wisdom at a time when the world is most indeed of adults who can make good, whole-hearted and life-giving decisions for themselves, their families and society around them. Chapters incude: From Sloth, or it's original term Acedia which means spiritual apathy, to Attention - How do I make the most of my short life, focus on the most important things, and stop getting so distracted by trivialities. From Envy to Belovedness - How do I avoid status anxiety, comparison and competition and feel at home in my own skin? From Wrath to Peacemaking - How do I become a depolarising person in an age of deepening tribalism and division? From Gluttony to Awe -What might it look like to find my highs, my moments of ecstasy, awe and transcendence in expansive, life-giving ways, not in the bottom of a tub of ice cream or a bottle of wine? From Lust to Sexual Humanism - How do I have a healthy and fulfilling sex life that doesn't instrumentalise others.From Greed to Generosity and Gratitude - How can I live generously, gratefully and simply in a world constantly trying to form me into a good little consumer, killing the planet in the process, especially when I really do like serums?From to Pride to Connection - How do I overcome the disconnection which keeps me from intimacy, committed community, and ultimately perhaps from the divine?
