I believe that giving an example of affirmations and assertions will give the reader a feel for what this book can accomplish. Affirmation No. 4: I am now calling on the infinite power and eternal help of God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, and with absolute faith, gratitude, and unconditional love for them and they for me and with my heartfelt, sincere prayers and their approval they will now help me to embrace and perfect the powerful element of faith. With conclusive determination and irreversible willpower, I will now positively act on this crucial decision, from this moment on and forever. I am determined to honor this affirmation, which will penetrate to the very depths of my soul and spirit. So be it. I have introduced a new variation of affirmations called assertions, which involve two personsthe reader and listener. The reader reads the assertion in a bold and assertive manner to the listener. Here is an example: we are now calling on the infinite power and eternal help of God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, and with absolute faith, gratitude and unconditional love for them and they for you and with your sincere prayers, and their approval, you know that you deserve to use your unwavering faith to overcome, conquer, and rise above the obstructions for using your faith to become whole again. You will now definitely forgive yourself of not deserving this blessing. This is your commitment from this moment on and forever. You are now determined to honor this assertion, which will penetrate to the very depths of your soul and spirit. So be it.

Paul Williams is an alcoholic. Tracey Jackson is not. But together, these two close friends have written Gratitude and Trust, a book designed to apply the principles of the recovery movement to the countless people who are not addicts but nevertheless need effective help with their difficulties and pain. Williams, the award-winning songwriter, actor, and performer, has embraced a traditional alcoholism recovery plan for more than two decades of sobriety. Jackson, a well-known TV and film writer—and veteran of many years of traditional therapy—has never been a drunk or a drug abuser, but she realized that many of the tenets of Williams’s program could apply to her. In Gratitude and Trust, Williams and Jackson ask: What happens to those who struggle with vexing problems yet are not full-blown addicts? Are there any lessons to be learned from the foundational and time-tested principles of the recovery movement? Whether you’re tethered to your phone or you turn to food for comfort; whether you’re a perfectionist and can’t let things go or are too afraid to fail to even try; whether you can find intimacy only on the Internet or you’ve been involved in a string of nasty relationships—the first step toward feeling better about yourself and your life is the realization that you are what’s standing in your way. Williams and Jackson have designed a new, positive program, based on a half-dozen new affirmations, that can help conquer your vices, address personal dysfunction, and start to brighten the darkest moods. Gratitude and Trust is an essential, inspirational, and uplifting guide to identifying and changing maladaptive behaviors in order to uncover your most productive, healthiest self.

The most influential work on Buddhism to be published in the nineteenth century, Introduction à l’histoire du Buddhisme indien, by the great French scholar of Sanskrit Eugène Burnouf, set the course for the academic study of Buddhism—and Indian Buddhism in particular—for the next hundred years. First published in 1844, the masterwork was read by some of the most important thinkers of the time, including Schopenhauer and Nietzsche in Germany and Emerson and Thoreau in America. Katia Buffetrille and Donald S. Lopez Jr.’s expert English translation, Introduction to the History of Indian Buddhism, provides a clear view of how the religion was understood in the early decades of the nineteenth century. Burnouf was an impeccable scholar, and his vision, especially of the Buddha, continues to profoundly shape our modern understanding of Buddhism. In reintroducing Burnouf to a new generation of Buddhologists, Buffetrille and Lopez have revived a seminal text in the history of Orientalism.
