Self Knowledge

Why did I write this book, and why did I call it EGOnomics? I believe you need to defend your ego against countless efforts to diminish it. Anti-ego ideologies often equivocate between egoism and narcissism and treat both concepts as if they were the same. The proponents of “anti-ego” do not like to witness a person expressing pride and self-regard, or when he is praised for having done something good or beneficial for himself. “Who does he think he is?” they ask. In this book I want to straighten out our understanding of the human ego and I want to give you tools to help you feel ...

He travelled extensively on a spiritual quest which led to his eventual rediscovery of the ...

Gambhiram Seshaier was a Municipal Overseer at Tiruvannamalai about 1900. He became a devotee of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi who was then living at the Virupaksha cave on the Arunachala Hill. A student of yoga, he was especially interested in Swami Vivekananda’s lectures on Raja Yoga, Jnana Yoga, etc. Finding some difficulty in understanding these and similar books, he brought them to the Maharshi for elucidation. Sri Bhagavan then went through each of them and wrote out in easy Tamil prose the gist of these works on bits of paper and answered supplementary questions put by Seshaier. ...

What if life is not a dream, but a reality prison? What if you can’t see it or touch it because the chain keeping you there runs through you as what you think is fair vs. unfair, just vs. unjust, right vs. wrong, and good vs. bad? The Tree of Knowing Good and Evil is just that. And there is a way out. I’m writing this book to people who want to know Jesus deeper than they already know Him, or even of Him.

The question, “Who am I?” is a tricky one. Most approaches available to those who seek answer to this question are rooted in the ‘self’ itself, making study of the ‘self’ in order to find its reality. Anyone following these approaches is bound to get trapped in the ‘self’ in such a way that it becomes difficult for him to escape from it. This question itself is genuine but once a person starts trying to find answer for it, inevitably his efforts lead him to a blind alley. Once he arrives there, generally he takes recourse to self-deception and starts indulging in philosophy ...

People keep track. In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin kept charts of time spent and virtues lived up to. Today, people use technology to self-track: hours slept, steps taken, calories consumed, medications administered. Ninety million wearable sensors were shipped in 2014 to help us gather data about our lives. This audiobook examines how people record, analyze, and reflect on this data, looking at the tools they use and the communities they become parts of.
