Chained by the commanding self – a mixture of laziness, greed, fear and prejudice – they are driven on, harnessed and shackled by their own lower nature. Shah argued that human beings, while capable of the most sublime capacities, choose to live on a plane far below their potential. Most approaches to spirituality are actually disguised consumerism, he insisted, and the would-be seekers must face up to the sobering prospect of tackling their own assumptions and having to first learn how to learn. Emphasising that Sufism is not static but always adapts to the current time, place and people, he often framed his teaching in Western psychological terms. In his writings, Shah presented Sufism as a universal form of wisdom that predates Islam. ‘Critically, and almost alone, he said that it was possible to divorce the essence of Sufi philosophy from what he insisted were secondary accretions of culture and religion.’ ‘Idries Shah did some revolutionary things,’ writes his daughter Saira Shah, in the introduction to The Idries Shah Anthology (published exclusively by The Idries Shah Foundation).

This goes on and on and on and on and on Lightyears. I'm adrift, suspended in a pool of senselessness, currents pushing me to the surface of something-an emotional revelation-that trembles into existence only to evaporate, seconds later, as if it might be terrified to exist. Narrated by Juliette, Warner, and Kenji Kishimoto, this gripping novel will leave readers hungry for Imagine Me, the sixth novel in the series. Stronger, braver, and more resilient than ever, Juliette will fight for life and love with her friends by her side-but first, she has to survive the war being waged against her mind: But Juliette has only just begun to unravel a lifetime of lies, and she finds herself faced with a familiar choice: She thought she'd finally taken control of her life, her power, and her pain. She thought she'd finally defeated the Reestablishment. Juliette Ferrars isn't who she thinks she is. Juliette and Warner's story continues in the thrilling fifth installment of Tahereh Mafi's New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series. She's desperate for answers, but to get them, she'll have to face the nightmares that've been chasing her for a lifetime. Still reeling from the explosive events of the Continental Symposium and the secrets Warner has been keeping, Juliette has nowhere to turn and doesn't know whom she can trust. About the Book Juliette Ferrars isn't who she thinks she is. The Jewel is the wealthiest of all regions and is entitled to royal individuals while Marsh resides the poorest of people. The society is divided into five divisions and each region is entitled to people who can afford to reside there. The tale takes place in a dystopian kingdom named the Lone City where individuals from a particular division of the society posses peculiar powers specified as Augries. Suddenly Violet finds herself in a different kind of danger, one that may cost her more than she bargained for. Violet must try to stay alive and when an unlikely friendship offers her an opportunity, she sings to the hope of a better life-until a forbidden romance changes everything. But after she is bought at the Auction, she quickly learns the brutal and violent truths that lie beneath the Jewel's glittering facade. Like the other Marsh girls, Violet has been trained to work for the royalty. But for girls like Violet, born and raised in the Marsh, the Jewel means slavery. It was written by author Amy Ewing and was originally published on September 2nd, 2014 by HarperTeen. The Jewel is the first young-adult, dystopian, romance novel of The Lone City series followed by The White Rose, then The Black Key.

Runaway bride Quinn Barton helps make other women’s wedding dreams come true, but can’t find her own happy ending in this smart, funny, and unapologetically romantic tale of finding love-and the guts to embrace it.
