"The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" presents seven principles for achieving success and fulfillment in life. The book draws upon ancient spiritual traditions, including Hinduism and Buddhism, to offer practical advice for achieving success and happiness.

The seven spiritual laws of success presented in the book are:

The Law of Pure Potentiality: This law emphasizes the importance of connecting with the infinite source of potential within oneself.

The Law of Giving: This law teaches that giving and receiving are different expressions of the same energy and that giving is a key to abundance and happiness.

The Law of Karma or Cause and Effect: This law teaches that every action has a consequence and encourages individuals to be mindful of their thoughts and actions.

The Law of Least Effort: This law emphasizes the importance of living in a state of effortlessness and flow, by aligning with the natural rhythms of life.

The Law of Intention and Desire: This law teaches that intention and desire are powerful forces that can manifest one's desires into reality.

The Law of Detachment: This law emphasizes the importance of letting go of attachment to outcomes and being open to the infinite possibilities of the universe.

The Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life: This law teaches that each individual has a unique purpose in life and encourages individuals to align their actions with their true purpose.

Recent visit to my favorite used bookstore in NYC, Westsider Books on the Upper West Side. They sell antique, rare, vintage, and newer used books. I bought some vintage Freud, Stendhal, and Balzac.

I have a bookstagram, and I recently followed someone because they posted about the overconsumption issue that most bookish social media seems to have. Today, though, they posted another controversial "opinion": that listening to audiobooks isn't reading, and people who claim to have read a bunch of books that they listened to as audiobooks are lying and/or deluded. Listening to audiobooks, she said, is just consuming books.

I disagreed in a fairly politely worded reply, and I intend to unfollow/block, because I find it unlikely this person will change their mind, especially since I'm far from the only person to point out that this is exclusionary and ableist. But this is tumblr/my house, and now I'm going to be as blunt as I want to be.

I'm a librarian and archivist. So much of the work I and others in my field do focuses on making books and reading more accessible and less exclusionary. It is, in fact, incredibly ableist to negate how important audiobooks are for people who have certain disabilities or challenges, and I would in no universe say they aren’t reading. For that matter, a busy person who only has time for audiobooks and for people who just prefer them--it still counts, as far as I'm concerned.

See, there's a difference between an audiobook and a podcast or long song or radio program. An audiobook is still a book--it was written with a particular narrative structure, and the author plays a defined but limited role (once the book is written, it's written; the author isn't tuning in next episode with comments and corrections based on what listeners said). An audiobook is a book, ergo, listening to one is reading. Using braille is reading, and listening to audiobooks is reading.

The part that has me in full Captain Raymond Holt "apparently that is a trigger for me" mode is that this bookstagrammer called listening to audiobooks consumption. In the context of her other posts about overconsumption as an issue in the bookish community (again, agree, but also...mind your own business), this seems particularly insidious to me. Conflating influencer-driven (and capitalist hellscape) consumption with listening to an audiobook (again, a massive boon for the visually impaired and those with disabilities like ADHD, dyslexia, etc.) is rude at best and dangerously exclusionary at worst. Stop letting comparison be the thief of joy; mind your own business and stop looking at the pages that bother you. Focus on the kindness of leaning towards inclusion, meeting people where they are, and leaving judgment behind.*

*This person also said "feel free to comment if you disagree but please don't be mean or judgmental," as if they hadn't just posted the most ableist and judgmental sludge I've seen today.

tl;dr: don’t be a gatekeeping shithead, mind your own business, and

If life was fair, I’d get paid to read books…so life is a little fairer today, as I join Booklist, the American Library Association’s magazine, as a contract editor. Still in the job hunt for part-time work, but this is one beautiful foundation.

sorry, but the literary fiction girlies who act like fantasy/sci-fi are their kryptonite are so weird?? just say you're boring and move on.

#obv disliking the genre is fine. making the fact that you're a fantasy/sci-fi anti a whole personality trait is just odd #like why are we flexing the fact that we don't read fantasy? when is it ever that serious #literature aesthetics #books #book #bookish #bookblr #bookworm #bookstagram #dark academia #booklover #books and libraries

I need to buy a book. But i need to buy a book with a beautiful cover. But i need money to buy a book with a beautiful cover. But i need a job to get money to buy a book with a beautiful cover. But a job is a lot of work to buy a book with a beautiful cover. So I should rob a bank to buy a book with a beautiful cover. But robbing a bank is more work then getting a job to buy a book with a beautiful cover. So instead i should-

"The Secrets of Six-Figure Women" is a book written by Barbara Stanny. The book explores the habits and behaviors of successful women who earn six-figure incomes or more, and provides insights into how other women can achieve financial success.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part profiles women who have achieved six-figure incomes in a variety of fields, including business, law, and the arts. The second part explores the common traits and habits of these successful women, such as confidence, perseverance, and a willingness to take risks. The third part provides practical advice and strategies for women who want to increase their income and achieve financial success.

One of the key messages of the book is that financial success is not just about hard work and talent, but also about mindset and behavior. The author argues that many women hold themselves back from achieving financial success because of limiting beliefs and behaviors, such as a fear of failure or a reluctance to negotiate for higher salaries.

The book provides practical advice and strategies for overcoming these barriers and achieving financial success, including tips for negotiating salaries, building networks and relationships, and managing finances. The author also emphasizes the importance of setting clear financial goals and taking concrete steps to achieve them.
