The Path Of No Resistance

A FRESH TAKE ON THE INBORN CHARACTERISTIC OF RESILIENCE Most people are convinced that the key to rising above a perceived problem is to think about it, analyze all angles, and try hard to solve it. But the fact is: Problems in the world are mounting. War, famine, and strife exist at alarming rates. Not to mention that the level of respect within our families and communities seems to be fraying. Simply put, our behavior is not up to par these days; it is spiraling downward. Why? We’re not connecting the dots. In the arenas of psychology, teaching, coaching, and parenting, we’re using behavioral strategies to boost inner levels of clarity and consciousness—to no avail. So, if focusing on behavior isn’t working, what will? The Path of No Resistance provides a brand-new look at how human beings really overcome adversity. Along the way, Garret Kramer reveals the astonishing truth about what creates our troubles in the first place. And what we already know, deep down, that allows us to prosper in spite of any circumstance or situation. Offering an array of examples, Kramer demonstrates that resilience and contentment are—in principle—innate to everyone. He insists that calculated self-help methods are not the answer, and explains why insight, not intellect, is what fuels our ability to excel and give back to others.

"You can't always get what you want"—but you can. Much of what we hear about ourselves and the world..."No pain, no gain"; "It's a dog-eat-dog world"; "Either you got it or you don't"—isn't true when we understand our nature and how to operate to reach our maximum potential. But how many of us understand our own design specs? Refrigerators come with instruction manuals—why not people? Here at last is the manual that should have come with you at birth. And it turns out that life is a lot easier than we've been taught. Living in alignment with your true nature—the path of least resistance—brings you all the joy, abundance and health your Manufacturer intended you to have! When a golfer has trouble with a swing, it's not because she doesn't deserve to play golf, or golf hates her, or she'll never be any good at golf, or anything like that. It's simply that her swing (behavior) is not yet in alignment with her biodynamics for that swing. With a little coaching, she can align with her body's nature and the stroke becomes easy, even effortless. The same alignment to effortlessness can happen in every area of your life! Use the tools and techniques in this book to help you align with natural, physical, and spiritual laws for joy, purpose, and vitality while living your dreams.

A humorous and vivid collection of stories about the struggle for human connection by two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize nominee Russell Wangersky. As entertaining as they are insightful, the stories in The Path of Most Resistance are anchored by the concept of passive aggression in our everyday lives: ordinary people who are quietly, desperately, and indirectly trying to impose their will on the uncaring world around them. From a woman who compulsively shops for luggage in order to sublimate her desire for a divorce to a senior citizen who tries to force his family to visit by refusing to eat, the characters in this collection try to change their lives through oblique resistance. The Path of Most Resistance is an observant and compassionate look at the feelings of powerlessness that we all share, and will have readers silently cringing and nodding in recognition of their own bad behaviour.
