"RESPECT" is an inspiring story of TWO BOYS that are best friends that decide to USE THEIR POWERS to bring about a better world. Zeek and T Mella are EXCELLENT STUDENTS who are also stars of the high school track team. One evening while running home from their jobs at Bongo Shorty's Car Wash they encounter a crime scene in their neighborhood that sets them on their mission. THE YOUNG MEN, along with their employer, Bongo Shorty, start a business producing buttons with the single word "Respect" upon a background of various national colors. Sales take off and the effect is MAGICAL as the people of their city begin to regard themselves and each other with greater courtesy and consideration. Even the policemen wear the buttons on their uniforms. Very soon, they expand their product line to include bumper stickers and tee shirts bearing that powerful word Respect, and their business draws competitors who put the word on ball caps and tee shirts with their own uniquely creative designs. Through internet sales, this business venture soon becomes a national fad, and then a movement as more and more people see the advantages of giving and getting respect. Meanwhile our youthful entrepreneurs develop a musical Hip Hop act to further the propagation of ideas for a saner society. The publicity that this noble work generates attracts the attention of POWERFUL individuals and SECRET SOCIETIES that profit from chaos and confusion. These misanthropes plan and scheme to derail this RESPECT MOVEMENT and a major conflict ensues. This is a story of brotherhood, self-determination, cooperative economics, collective work and responsibility, creativity, purpose and faith. It demonstrates how young people can make a trans-formative difference in this world. It is a MUST READ for "Generation X" and the so-called "Millennials" as it presents a practical application of the principles of KWANZAA; more than a holiday -- A WAY OF LIFE!

Yogi Ramacharaka's 1903 text The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath: A Complete Manual of the Oriental Breathing Philosophy of Physical, Mental, Psychic, and Spiritual Development discusses both Western and Eastern breathing philosophy in plain English. These teachings come from adepts and yogis, but Ramacharaka's fluid writing caters to the layman This empowering work helps readers to understand the power of this everyday - and often ignored - practice. The classic guide covers everything from the esoteric theories of breath to the emotional, mental, physiological, psychic, and spiritual aspects of breathing, along with exercises to develop them. Ramacharaka's ideas merit attention - even today - not because they are a "secret science," but because so many of them work. Famed trumpet player Maynard Ferguson identified it as an early influence on his decision to adopt yogi deep breathing techniques, and later claimed that it revolutionized the way he approached the trumpet. Among many musicians, swimmers, martial artists, fitness gurus, yoga practitioners, endurance runners, and holistic healers, The Yogi Science of Breath is considered an indispensable reference guide and tool.

Likened to a 48 Laws of Power for young Black men, this book presents Black biographies, history, and current events in a language that the Hip-Hop generation will understand and relate to. Each story or essay is framed within the context of a life lesson, each one being of vital importance to the survival, redemption, and ultimate success of our dying Black generation. Both the positive and negative sides of the Black experience are explored in detail, from the lives of infamous drug dealers and pimps to the exploits of Black revolutionaries and activists. In addition, several How To sections outline simple strategies for self-development. Packed with useful information, from the best way to handle confrontations with police, to the continuing relevance of the 1919 race riots, this book has been compared to an urban Encyclopedia Africana. Others have called it a Blueprint for Black Power for a generation struggling with materialism and short attention spans. This book is guaranteed to change the world by changing the way millions of people think and live. In How to Hustle and Win, author Supreme Understanding tells, in often graphic detail, stories like that of the infamous Philadelphia Black Mafia, Harlem's heroin kingpin Frank Lucas, and former gang leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams. In between and throughout these tales, he weaves life lessons and guidance, turning sordid stories of crime and urban despair into an educational experience. Whereas Robert Greene's bestselling 48 Laws of Power used iconic figures from classical history to illustrate the guidelines for personal success, How to Hustle and Win is filled with the exploits of rappers, gangsters, radicals, and revolutionaries. This is a new kind of Black history book, and its intent is the motivation and achievement of a new kind of reader. Although today's literary market has seen an influx of self-help books attending to a variety of issues, few books have attempted to address the concerns of young Black men, struggling to find direction. It is this group that author Supreme Understanding names as one of most troubled demographics in American society today. On the book's website, the author comments: "Unfortunately, few authors actively target this audience, and those who do are either not speaking their language, or not interested in pushing for change. This is why How to Hustle and Win was written. This book will change the minds of millions of young men of color, and by doing this, it will ultimately change the world." Revolutionary aspirations aside, How to Hustle and Win's groundbreaking concept results in a truly appealing work. Its essays are delivered in short bursts, none of them over four pages long, making it ideal for struggling readers and those with shorter attention spans. At the same time, the book is filled with a wealth of information that would enlighten educated readers equally. In fact, the author juxtaposes his own personal tales of early delinquency and misdirection with his later years of professional success, including obtaining a doctorate in education at the age of 26.

Over a dozen writers contributed to this handbook, edited by C BS Alife and Supreme Understanding. The contributors include fitness gurus, dieticians, personal trainers, and holistic practitioners from around the country.

Do you know who - and what - you are? Do you know who you're meant to be? Do you know how to find the answers to questions like these? Knowledge of Self is the result of a process of self-discovery, but few of us know where to begin when we're ready to start looking deeper. Although self-actualization is the highest of all human needs, it is said that only 5% of people ever attain this goal. In the culture of the Nation of Gods and Earths, commonly known as the Five Percent, students are instructed that they must first learn themselves, then their worlds, and then what they must do in order to transform their world for the better. This often intense process has produced thousands of revolutionary thinkers in otherwise desperate environments, where poverty and hopelessness dominate. Until now, few mainstream publications have captured the brilliant yet practical perspectives of these luminary men and women. Knowledge of Self: A Collection of Writings on the Science of Everything in Life presents the thoughts of Five Percenters, both young and old, male and female, from all over the globe, in their own words. Through essays, poems, and even how-to articles, this anthology presents readers with an accurate portrait of what the Five Percent study and teach, as well as sound direction on how to answer timeless questions like: Who am I, and why am I here? Why is there so much injustice in the world, and what can be done about it? Who is God and where on Earth is he? How do I improve myself without losing myself? Why are people of color in the situations they're in? What can we do about the global problems of racism and poverty?
