Steven Harrison Bücher

Wer sucht, der findet, heißt es. Im spirituellen Leben gilt jedoch häufig: Wer sucht, der sucht und sucht ohne Ende. Woran liegt das? Nicht unbedingt an den Lehren und Methoden. Meist geht die spirituelle Suche in die falsche Richtung. Aus eigener Erfahrung weist Steven Harrison einen grundlegend anderen Weg: Statt nach außen führt er nach innen, hin zu Selbstbestimmung und Stille. Behutsam wird der Leser an die großen Themen der östlichen Philosophie herangeführt, die Natur des Denkens fast im Plauderton aufgedeckt, neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis wie ein Märchen nacherzählt, die Untiefen der Sinnsuche voller Humor enthüllt. Die unvergängliche Botschaft aller Spiritualität in der Sprache unserer Zeit, Mystik ohne Brimborium oder Imponiergehabe, schnörkellos, radikal und befreiend. Nach einer langen aufreibenden Reise erreicht ein Suchender den Gipfel eines Berges, wo einsam ein Guru haust. „Meister, was ist der Sinn des Lebens?“, fragt der Suchende. „Mein Sohn, das Leben ist eine Schale voller Kirschen“, sagt der Guru. Sich so etwas anhören zu müssen nach all den Mühen, die er auf sich genommen hat, macht den Suchenden wütend, und das lässt er den Guru wissen. Der Guru überlegt eine Weile und antwortet: „Glaubst du denn, es sei anders?“

This journey challenges conventional methods, revealing the potential for profound transformation through embracing the unknown.

Exploring spirituality and personal experience, this book serves as an introduction to Steven Harrison's thought-provoking ideas. It features unpublished excerpts from his talks, alongside inspiring quotes from his previous works. The Shimmering World encourages readers to seek authenticity amid a concept-driven society, making it a meaningful gift for those seeking deeper understanding and transformation in their lives.

Being One sheds light on the meaning of our quest for love and relationship in all aspects of human marriage, family, and work. The book distinguishes itself from the myriad of writings on how to find a partner, how to improve your relationship, how to stay married, etc., by helping us to see that we are already profoundly connected to the people in our lives. Harrison digs deeply into our assumptions and beliefs about our culture and ourselves and delivers insight. In this beautiful and profound book, Harrison shows us that it is only in accepting our aloneness that we can truly be in relationship with others.

In this thought-provoking book, best-selling author Steven Harrison ventures far outside the box of traditional thinking about education. His radical proposal? Children naturally want to learn, he asserts, so let them direct their own education in democratic learning communities where they can interact seamlessly with their neighborhoods, their towns, and the world at large. Most learning systems apply external motivation through grades, rankings, teacher direction, and approval. The Happy Child suggests that a self-motivated child who is interdependent within a community can develop the full human potential to live a creative and fulfilling life. Harrison focuses on the integration of the whole child, the learning environment, and the non-coercive spirit of curiosity-driven education.
