"Mike Majlak was a seventeen-year-old from a loving, middle-class family in Milford, Connecticut, when he got caught up in the opioid epidemic that swept the nation. For close to a decade thereafter, his life was a wasteland of darkness and despair. While his peers were graduating from college, buying homes, getting married, having kids, and leading normal lives, Mike was snorting OxyContin, climbing out of cars at gunpoint, and burying his childhood friends. Unable to escape the noose of addiction, he eventually lost the trust and support of everyone who had ever loved him. Alone, with nothing but drugs to keep him company, darkness closed in, and the light inside him--the last flicker of hope--began to dim. His dreams, potential, and future were all being devoured by a relentless addiction too powerful to fight. Despair filled him as he realized he wasn't going to survive. Somehow, he did ..."--Amazon

"John Luckovich does not beat around the bush and lets us know right away that the material in this book is explicitly for inner work and soul development. And with great eloquence and patience, he unpacks this potentially complex material in a way that makes it understandable and relevant. While there are a number of teachers working in this area who have my love and respect, I dare say there is no one in the world who has spent more time contemplating the meaning and context of this material than John."- from the foreword, written by Russ Hudson, author, The Wisdom of the EnneagramThe Enneagram is a profound tool for self-observation and inner work. While there are plenty of resources on the topic, most Enneagram literature is largely limited to entry-level descriptions of the Nine Types. The Instinctual Drives and the Enneagram focuses on a crucial but misunderstood facet of the Enneagram Typology--our "animal" Instinctual Drives and how they are related to our spiritual nature.While nearly every school of thought on the Enneagram acknowledges the importance and role of the Instinctual Drives, there''s a deep lack of understanding what they actually are, the role they play in personality, and most importantly, their implications for inner work. This book achieves, for the first time, a coherent theory of the instinctual drives based in biology, evolution, and developmental psychology, and it paves the way toward a more accurate view of inner work that directly addresses our animal nature. In so doing, it turns our current understanding of the Enneagram on its head by showing that the personality does not exist in parallel with our instinctual drives, but in reaction to them. In other words, instinct comes first - and one''s Enneagram type is nothing more or less than a strategy to fulfill instinctual needs. This clarified orientation has important implications for our spiritual development, self-remembrance, and the transformation of our personhood into a conduit of Essence.

¿Vives? ¿Realmente vives? Esta simple, preciosa y profunda pregunta es la esencia de nuestro viaje. Porque vivir es existir con plenitud, sentir con intensidad, amar con profundidad. Es despertar cada mañana con la certeza de que cada día es una oportunidad para crecer, para servir y aprender, para transformarnos, y mejorar todo a nuestro alrededor. ¿Vives? Es una invitación a reflexionar, de si verdaderamente nos quedamos en el pasado, sin disfrutar del ahora, a tal grado que nuestro presente está ansioso por el futuro, por lo que tampoco somos felices en nuestro antes, ni durante, ni después mental. A veces estamos atrapados en un espacio mental que no nos permite ser felices al no perdonarnos, o no perdonar a alguien que nos hizo daño, o al pensar que antes éramos felices y ahora no podemos serlo, haciendo de nuestro presente una pesadilla que contamina nuestros futuros. En las páginas que siguen, nos sumergiremos en un viaje de autodescubrimiento, de reflexiones profundas, en un viaje hacia la verdadera esencia de la vida, la paz y felicidad. Porque ¿de qué sirve respirar si no inhalamos el aroma de la existencia, si no saboreamos cada instante de nuestros presentes con gratitud y alegría? ¿Qué sentido tiene vivir sin intención? Desde las profundidades de nuestro ser, surge una llamada urgente a la transformación interior, para que nuestro exterior también mejore. Porque no podemos continuar viviendo en la sombra de lo que podríamos ser, en lugar de brillar con toda la potencialidad de nuestro ADN espiritual y con la luz de nuestra autenticidad. ¿Vives? es un recordatorio de que la vida está hecha para ser vivida en su totalidad. Es un llamado a despertar la inteligencia espiritual que yace dormida en nuestro interior, a explorar los rincones más profundos de nuestra alma en busca de la luz que nos guiará hacia la plenitud y una vida mejor.¿Vives? Es más que un libro de autoayuda, es una invitación a unirnos en un diálogo sincero e interior sobre el significado de nuestra existencia, sobre el propósito de nuestra vida en nuestros propios universos, o sea de todos los que han estado, están y estarán en nuestros entornos. Es un llamado a la acción, a la transformación personal e interior, a la realización plena de nuestro potencial. En estas páginas, encontrarás las herramientas para explorar tu propia verdad y camino, para abrazar la plenitud que tanto anhelas. Porque la vida se trata de enriquecer el alma, de vivir con pasión y propósito, de dejar una huella indeleble en el mundo que nos rodea, en otras palabras asegurarnos de dejar nuestro mejor legado, y que sea positivo y significativo. ¿Vives? es un desafío, un llamado a despertar de cualquier situación actual que nos haga sufrir, o sentirnos aletargados, a sacudirnos de todo tipo de cadenas que nos atan a la mediocridad, a abrazar la vida con todas sus luces y sombras.¿Vives? es una invitación a vivir con autenticidad y coherencia con nuestras creencias, con pasión, fe y propósito. Es un recordatorio de que la vida es un regalo sumamente precioso que merece ser vivido con todo nuestro ser y verdadera intención. Quizás sea un camino doloroso al descubrir nuestras propias limitantes, pero también será un camino de gran alivio al cortar dichas cadenas individuales, para poder desarrollar más esperanza, crecimiento personal y descubrimiento de toda nuestra potencialidad. ¿Vives? Será un camino de auto reconciliación, donde las cosas del pasado ya no importarán, para enfocarnos en nuestra felicidad del hoy, del ahora, y tomar las decisiones que nos permitirán vivir nuestro futuro con paz interior, paz mental y emocionalmente sanos. Bienvenido a este viaje. El viaje hacia la plenitud. El viaje hacia una vida más feliz.

"My Emerald Isles" is a heartfelt tale that unfolds against the backdrop of Ireland's lush landscapes. In this enchanting story, an elderly man seeks solace on the serene shores of Inis Eala after the loss of his beloved wife. Alone except for his faithful dog, his days of solitude take an unexpected turn when he encounters a group of orphaned siblings.The Irish sun, its golden rays dancing on the water's surface, heralded the start of another serene morning on the tranquil island of Inis Eala. At the heart of this picturesque landscape lived Seamus, an elderly man whose weathered hands and kind eyes told stories of a life fully lived. For years, Seamus had become a fixture on the island's shores, a figure as familiar as the rhythmic crash of waves against the rocky beach.Waking at dawn, Seamus would set off with his old dog, Bród, his only steadfast companion. With a well-worn bucket and a tattered net slung over his shoulder, he made his way to the shoreline where the ebb and flow of the tides had painted the beach with a myriad of treasures. The soft crunch of sand beneath his boots and the distant cries of gulls formed the backdrop of his solitude.Each morning, Seamus would stoop low, his fingers gently teasing mussels from their sandy beds. The shells, gleaming in a tapestry of iridescent blues and greens, seemed to echo the vibrant beauty of the emerald isle itself. As the sun climbed higher in the sky, Seamus would move along the beach, his gaze fixed on the ground, searching for the most delicate and intricate shells, each one a testament to the island's rich history.But beneath the calm exterior, there was a palpable ache in Seamus' heart, a grief that had settled in after the passing of his beloved wife, Moira. They had shared a lifetime of love and laughter, weathering life's storms together, until she was called away by the sea's gentle whisper. Since her departure, Seamus had unwittingly become a castaway of his own, his once vibrant interactions with the island's close-knit community replaced by a silence that seemed to stretch on forever.Bród, his faithful canine companion, had become his confidant, a source of solace in a world that felt both empty and heavy with memories. Their days were spent in a shared solitude, wandering the shores and cliffs, accompanied only by the echoing cries of seagulls and the distant murmur of the waves.The island, known for its friendly pubs and warm-hearted people, had extended its arms to Seamus in his time of need. Yet, he had withdrawn, the grief rendering him a silent observer of life passing him by. And so, he found solace in the symphony of the sea, the rhythmic cadence of his daily rituals, and the company of his loyal Bród.Little did Seamus know that the tides of fate were preparing to shift, bringing unexpected changes that would ripple through the tranquil surface of his existence and lead him on a journey of rediscovery, connection, and a renewed love.
