Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER “Full of valuable insights to guide you.”—WILL SMITH “Thoughtful and life-affirming . . . a must-read.”—TONY ROBBINS “This book will put you back in charge of your own life.”—TOM BRADY A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of “karma” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru. What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior. In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver’s seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of your own destiny. By living consciously and fully inhabiting each moment, you can free yourself from the cycle. Karma is an exploration and a manual, restoring our understanding of karma to its original potential for freedom and empowerment instead of a source of entanglement. Through Sadhguru’s teachings, you will learn how to live intelligently and joyfully in a challenging world.

Book Description
reaking the Limit is one woman's account of riding her motorcycle from New Jersey to Alaska and back. Realizing that years of work and travel in other people's countries made her a stranger in her own, and with an invitation to meet her biological father for the first time, Karen Larsen set out on a fifteen-thousand-mile trip with nothing but her motorcycle and the barest of essentials. Larsen's journey tests the limits of her own endurance, challenges her long-held beliefs and values, and asks what it means to belong to a family. Through the the fields of Iowa and the deserts of the Southwest, over the Rockies and across Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Larsen confronts questions of femininity, family, independence, and personal identity. Her journey speaks to the immense space and over-whelming beauty of North America, as well as to the diversity and vitality of the people she meets along the way. Breaking the Limit invites you to join her as she braces against the wind, trades security for freedom, sacrifices stability for motion, and opens herself up to the vast canopy of a continent.

Book Description
Follow along on a life changing ride on a motorcycle names Marilyn. See what it's really like to spend a month or more on the Trans-America Trail. Read what no one tells you about life on the road. Before any story is told, there must be a reason. Some reasons are simple. The walk to the mail box for example. It's a very short story with a reason and a purpose. This story is longer. It's reasons and purpose more complicated. But in the end, it's as simple as wondering what's in that box. The one just over the next horizon. Three years before I set off on a solo ride across America on a motorcycle named Marilyn, I sat in the basement of a typical suburban house. All of the lights were out. No one was home except myself. Had there been, I would have likely put on a stiff upper lip and pretended to be fine. Except I wasn't. Guttural animal like sounds escaped my body in a painful murmur that surely was not my own. It could not have been because I had never heard that voice before. Waves of primordial intonations rose and fell. There was no escape. There was no place to hide. I learned that when you cry lying on your back that you get tears in your ears. I learned that all of the control that I thought I had was an illusion. I buried myself deeper into a corner trying to fence off whatever was attacking my core. Anyone witnessing this pitiful scene would have surely thought it was some kind of reenacted Hollywood drug induced nightmare. It was not. No alcohol was involved. No drug of any kind. It was worse than either. Worse because there was nothing from which to withdraw. Or was there? What does all of this have to do with riding a motorcycle along the Trans-America Trail. Nothing. And Everything. Read on to connect the metaphorical dots of one rider's inner journey from that dark basement to the shining ocean of the Oregon coastline.
