Every day we&apos;re bombarded with methods, mantras and life-hacks that promise us mindfulness, prosperity and wellness. We read countless self-help books to unlock the seven habits, twelve rules or one big secret to living a long and happy life, while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources. The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in day out? Maybe you want to do something else with your limited time on the planet. Maybe your own happiness isn&apos;t your only life goal, or you don&apos;t want to get to your deathbed with the gnawing feeling you had much more in you. In that case, you&apos;ll need a different kind of book. Internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman shows us that with moral ambition &ndash; the will to make the world a wildly better place &ndash; it is possible to be both idealistic and successful, and to change the world along the way. Looking to the great change-makers of history, he uncovers the qualities that made them so persuasive, influential and effective, and shows how we, too, can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to gross inequality to the next pandemic. With moral ambition, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself. This is not a self-help book. It won&apos;t make your life easier &ndash; but it should make it more meaningful. The question is: what will you do with it?

For generation after generation, Toltec shamans have passed down their wisdom through teaching stories. The purpose of these stories is to implant a seed of knowledge in the mind of the listener, where it can ultimately sprout and blossom into a new and better way of life. In THE WISDOM OF THE SHAMANS, Toltec shaman and master storyteller, don Jose Ruiz, shares some of the most popular stories from his family's oral tradition and offers corresponding lessons that illustrate the larger ideas within each story. Ruiz begins by explaining that, contrary to the stereotypical image of "witch doctor," the ancient shamans were men and women who fulfilled several roles within their communities: philosopher, spiritual guide, medical doctor, psychologist and friend. According to Ruiz, their teachings are not primitive or reserved for a chosen few initiates, but are, instead, a powerful series of lessons on love and life that are available to us all. To that aim, he has included exercises, meditations and shamanic rituals to help you experience the personal transformation these stories offer. The shamans taught that the truth you seek is inside of you. Let these stories, lessons and tools be your guide to finding the innate wisdom that lives within.
