Prescriptions, how-to's, self-help, guru's, mental hacks, psychology, motivation, and the like, are things that are fundamentally unserious. They are things that move humans away from Truth. For they approach all matters from the standpoint of a "fix." The Truth is a path away from all fixes. And away from all chases. It is for the one who is Serious. It is for the one who is Sincere. This book is for but a handful of individuals in the world. Those with a rarest form of DNA. The DNA to arrive at the Direct Truth in all things. So that they may put an end to all chases. So that they may walk life's Final Mile. And come to possess the things that they have called by various other names.

Uncompromising, Non-Prescriptive Truths to the Enduring Questions of Life

Direct Truth

Herein lie a series of dialogues between a True Master and an Authentic Student. The Master has devoted his life to unraveling the secret cures to the ills that plague every human being. Put simply, the Master has discovered The Truth. The Truth about freedom from anxiety, curing emotional pain, achieving true success, attaining clarity, cultivating wisdom, mastering relationships, gaining complete control of one's mind, and so on. The Master speaks the raw truth. And the raw truth has no place for trite things such as prescriptions, how-to's, and cosmetic and ineffective remedies. This book is for those who are serious.

The complexity of the brain, the house of human consciousness, is so great that scientists are still mystified as to how it works. For a student, learning the various cellular organizations, cranial nerves, and neural connections can be an intimidating challenge. The Human Brain Coloring Workbook is a break-through approach to understanding the brain's organization and functions. It features 125 striking, computer-generated illustrations that will help students gain a clear and enduring comprehension of this highly intricate structure. Learning interactively through coloring thoroughly fixes concepts in the mind and takes less time than memorizing from textbooks. The ideas behind each lesson are amply explained, and more complex subjects are approached through the gradual introduction of simple drawings. After completing the lessons in this book, not only will you understand the brain's basic configurations and functions, you will also have a fully colored and labeled resource ready for review whenever you need to brush up. This book is an invaluable and lasting resource for students in a number of disciplines, including medicine, anatomy and physiology, biology, psychology, nursing, rehabilitation, health administration, medical technology, and nutrition. The 125 plates in the book are organized in the following sections: *Central Nervous System Development *The Meninges *The Cerebral Hemispheres *The Cranial Nerves *The Ventricular System and Cerebrospinal Fluid *The Limbic System *The Thalamic Complex *The Basal Ganglia *The Brainstream *The Cerebellum *The Cerebrovascular System *Neuronal Conduction *The Autonomic Nervous System *The Ascending and Descending Neuronal Tracts *Atlas of Human Brain Sections

Catalogues the work and projects of Serie Architects and published to coincide with an exhibition of their work held at the Architectural Association in November 2010. Working in Serie is an exhibition and publication bringing together seven projects by Serie. Led by Chris Lee and Kapil Gupta, Serie is a young architectural practice with offices in London, Mumbai, Beijing and Chengdu. Informed by the teachings and research of Chris Lee in the AA and Berlage Institute, the work of Serie speculates on the possibility of typology as an operative theory - a disciplinary knowledge and 'general intellect' - for the practice of architecture in a globalised world.
