Whether it’s food, exercise, music, alcohol, sex, drugs—whatever the stimulus—ultimately what we seek is a feeling of satisfaction. In the end, though, true satisfaction arises from a balance of healthy, harmonious energy. And that harmonious, balanced energy is the core of the natural healing power.","author":"Ilchi Lee","tags":["meditation","natural-healing","natural-health","nature","non-fiction"],"id":8554,"author_id":"Ilchi+Lee"},{"text":"They inhabited a lost world of splendour and brutality, a world dominated by religious change, in which there were few saints.","author":"Alison Weir","tags":["feminism","history","non-fiction","royalty","women-s-history"],"id":12023,"author_id":"Alison+Weir"},{"text":"Where do we begin this process of reevaluation of values?

Searching for inner strength and coming up empty. My eyes burned and my mouth was dry as I sucked on air that seemed to keep getting thicker and harder to breathe. I tried to leave again, but ended up leaning my forehead against the door, feeling defeated and wishing the Grim Reaper would come for me in all his silky, black glory.","author":"Nathan Daniels","tags":["agoraphobia","anxiety","non-fiction","self-harm","suicide"],"id":24215,"author_id":"Nathan+Daniels"},{"text":"That was the real secret of the Tarahumara: they'd never forgotten what it felt like to love running. They remembered that running was mankind's first fine art, our original act of inspired creation. Way before we were scratching pictures on caves or beating rhythms on hollow trees, we were perfecting the art of combining our breath and mind and muscles into fluid self-propulsion over wild terrain. And when our ancestors finally did make their first cave paintings, what were the first designs? A downward slash, lightning bolts through the bottom and middle--behold, the Running Man.Distance running was revered because it was indispensable; it was the way we survived and thrived and spread across the planet. You ran to eat and to avoid being eaten; you ran to find a mate and impress her, and with her you ran off to start a new life together. You had to love running, or you wouldn't live to love anything else. And like everyhing else we ove--everything we sentimentally call our 'passions' and 'desires' it's really an encoded ancestral necessity. We were born to run; we were born because we run. We're all Running People, as the Tarahumara have always known.","author":"Christopher McDougall","tags":["instinct","non-fiction","passion","running"],"id":25444,"author_id":"Christopher+McDougall"},{"text":"Borrow money only for an education that will yield enough of a return in the job market to allow you to pay your loans back.","author":"Kevin Carey","tags":["college","education","non-fiction"],"id":25809,"author_id":"Kevin+Carey"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":137,"pages":14,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
