DO YOU! by Russell Simmons with Chris Morrow
Since rising out of the New York City streets over 25 years ago, Russell Simmons has helped create such ground breaking ventures as Def Jam Records, Phat Farm and Def Comedy Jam, in the process becoming known the world over as "The CEO of Hip Hop." Russell might have helped introduce hip-hop to the world, but he credits his success to his belief in a strong set of principles-or laws--which he shares for the first time in this book. In 12 straight forward steps, Russell reveals a path towards success that can be followed not only by those looking to duplicate his professional success, but anyone struggling to realize their dreams.
Indeed, those solely looking for advice on how to build up their bank accounts at the expense of personal integrity should probably look elsewhere. That's because these laws stem from the belief that all success, be it professional or personal, comes from a connection with your higher self. Using examples from his own experiences and observations, Russell demonstrates how tapping into that connection will allow you to get your mind right, find the motivation to start instead of stall, surround yourself with the right people, appreciate the power of hard work and understand the power of karma.
THE HERO: Manhood and Power by John Lash
John Lash has been called the true successor of Mircea Eliade and the rightful heir of Joseph Campbell. Unlike those two world-class academics, John is a self-educated free-lance scholar who combines studies and experimental mysticism to teach
directive mythology: that is, the application of myth to life, rather than its mere interpretation. He is a leading exponent of the power of myth to direct individual experience and drive historical events over the long term. An expert on sidereal mythology, naked-eye astronomy, precession, and the World Ages, he also teaches the critique of belief-systems. On metahistory.org, he presents a radical revision of Gnosticism, with original commentaries on the Nag Hammadi codices. He also presents the only complete restoration by any scholar of the Sophianic myth of the Pagan Mysteries, the sacred story of Gaia-Sophia, recounting the origin of the earth and the human species from the galactic core.

RUBY CHAI: ORGANIC SPICED ROOIBOS
TEAS come from a single plant, the Camellia Sinensis. If left to wither (fully-oxidize), the tea leaves turn black. If immediately steamed, they remain green. Numi is unique, using whole leaf teas without the addition of oils or flavorings. Earthy, vanilla Rooibos and a sultry blend of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom come together from around the world in Numi's caffeine-free chai.
Rooibos tea,
bush tea (esp. Southern Africa),
redbush tea (esp. UK),
South African red tea, or
red tea. The product has been popular in Southern Africa for generations and is now consumed in many countries.
Rooibos is becoming more popular in Western countries particularly among health-conscious consumers, due to its high level of antioxidants such as aspalathin
and nothofagin, its lack of caffeine, and its low tannin levels
compared to fully oxidized black tea or unoxidized green tea leaves.
Rooibos also contains a number of phenolic compounds, including flavanols, flavones, flavanones, and dihydrochalcones.
Rooibos is purported
to assist with nervous tension, allergies and digestive problems.
Several coffee shops in South Africa have recently begun to sell red espresso
, which is concentrated rooibos served and presented in the style of ordinary espresso . This has given rise to rooibos-based variations of coffee drinks such as red lattes and red cappuccinos. Iced tea made from rooibos has recently been introduced in South Africa and Australia as Lipton "Red Tea, Rooibos & Guarana", and in the United States as Snapple "Red Tea, Pomegranate Raspberry"
.
