The Art of Simple: Recipes and Ideas for a Calmer Way of Life

Product Information

Onaantastbare meningen of loepzuivere ideeën bestaan namelijk niet; er zijn altijd meerdere invalshoeken.” In the same vein, the recipes here will produce good results (good food, respect for the land, community) if you first take the time and care to seek out good ingredients, then actually take the time and care to prepare, cook and enjoy them. An indispensable resource for home cooks from the woman who changed the way Americans think about food. Loeys’ LinkedIn videos include avuncular talks on minimalist portfolio building, the pointlessness of overthinking asset selection, how to choose bonds and not commodities, timing markets, and the overriding principle of KISS, along with lots of macro-type stuff like managing long-term risks and whether to care about debt-to-GDP ratios. The homely style will no doubt rile up a lot of masters-of-alpha types but for anyone who needs a reminder of how to tell the difference between wood and trees (inside and outside JPMorgan) it’s an invaluable resource. On the whole I think much of the interest and beauty in this book comes not only from the Zen principles, but from the way these principles are woven and integrated into the beautiful and ancient culture of Japan. I could imagine it being fleshed out into a much larger, more graphically appealing format.

Below I will provide a complete overview of The Art of Simple Golf and let you know how he can help your game and if he is worth investing in.

We will share the following: Zen: The Art of Simple Living makes the wisdom of the Buddha radically accessible' Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, author of Emotional Rescue and Rebel Buddha Nagyon készültél valamire (vizsgára, prezentációra), és közvetlen előtte marhára izgulsz: "Ha ez történik, vizsgáld meg, mi rejlik a szorongás hátterében. Úgy gondolom, azt fogod látni, hogy az elbizakodottság." Öhm... nem. Akkor nem paráznék, ugye. Itt vajon mi lehetett eredetileg? I had spent the better parts of the previous 12-15 months constantly looking at video and using different apps to measure where my swing was. Once I found this approach and teamed it up with some SuperSpeed Golf Training system, my game has improved and my level of enjoyment. Nearly everyone should just buy a cheap global equities fund for diversification and a locally denominated corporate bond fund to minimise FX volatility, he says. Government bonds are only useful for managing drawdown requirements, so they have no place in your long-term strategy. Commodities don’t generate income so it’s probably not worth bothering with them either, unless you have strong feelings about extreme climate change or have some specific risk to hedge.Recently, I read an interview with a former chef of Chez Panisse. He said in their early days of fame, people would make a pilgrimage out to Berkley and be disappointed or surprised to see the food was nothing spectacular, nothing fancy. Just simple, good food - special in its simplicity-to-taste ratio, and its special journey to the plate. Instead, we need to focus on the target, allow the club to work and be free once again. He continues to gain distance, accuracy and enjoyment for the game the more he follows the Art of Simple Golf approach. I was able to introduce him to this system and when we golf, we can speak common language and help each other through the process. One could argue that your bond fund should be global, but that would add foreign-currency risk that is generally not well compensated. If you then have strong views on what asset types, countries, or sectors to have more of than is in these broad funds — say you fancy Technology — you can simply add a Tech ETF to these two funds. It is harder when there are certain assets you want to have less of, or not have at all — say oil companies. You would need a fund that excludes oil companies, but that may not exist if there are not enough investors like you who do not want to hold oil. If such a fund does not exist, then you will have to build a portfolio bottom up by trying to buy all the other sectors, for which funds will surely not all be available. Hence, it is much easier to execute overweights than underweights in a simple portfolio. In short, you will do quite well with holding only two funds: a global equity one and a local bond one. De hardcover editie vind ik mooi vormgegeven. Het kleurgebruik komt rustig over wat de drukte van de illustratie op de voorzijde afvlakt. De vrouwfiguur in het midden is ingesloten door wolkachtige struiken en lijkt omhoog te kijken naar de titel en ondertitel van het boek. Mijn gedachte gaan gelijk uit naar de vele gedachten wolkjes die een mens kunnen omringen. Zo lijkt de cover passend te zijn bij de inhoudelijke tekst en boodschap van het boek. Op de achterzijde is de samenvatting duidelijk leesbaar, vindt je informatie over de schrijver en een simpele verwijzing met afbeelding naar zijn vorige boek.”

Like the podcast, I want to end this space well, on my terms, while it’s still a thing I’m proud of — so I’m not making this decision because I no longer think it’s good. In fact, I think last year was one of our best years. Similarly, in chapter 8 he mentions "the indescribable intensity in the calligraphy of the Zen monk Ikkyu." I suppose a Japanese reader knows what this calligraphy looks like, but a Western reader could really use an illustration. There are a sampling of recipes for poultry, fish/seafood, meat, etc. While the recipes are nice, I wish that there had been more. One thing I like in cookbooks is abundant choice! I'm being biased in my star rating because this isn't really a great cookbook by any means. I just love Alice Waters and appreciate her purpose in writing this. Van benne némi toxikus pozitivitás is, ahogy már fentebb is kiderült. Azért a minden nap jó nap hozzáállás nem egészséges, azt gondolom. Vannak igazán sz.r napok, hadd ne tapsikoljunk, hogy egyszeri és megismételhetetlen nap, ha épp valami tragédia ér bennünket. Például.Tot hij toevallig omhoogkeek en maanlicht door de kieren in het dak zag schijnen, waar hij zich door omarmd voelde.” Amazingly, the other aspects of a healthy lifestyle magically fall into place: recycle, compost, eat seasonally and locally, as well as diversely. Eat slowly and thoughtfully, treasure what you put in your mouth. Er zullen vast vele lezers zijn die wel enorm baat hebben bij wat Shunmyo Masuno verteld en aandraagt in zijn boek. Hij schrijft tenslotte wel degelijk op een vriendelijke, heldere manier. Waardoor er misschien onderwerpen aangetikt worden waar je je niet eens bewust van was. Vaste patronen en gewoontes zijn nu eenmaal menseigen en iedereen heeft weleens een klein duwtje nodig om zich bewust te worden van wat anders zou kunnen en wat je zomaar kan helpen om anders te zien of aan te pakken.

Alice Waters takes a lot of shit for beginning the whole organic, locally-sourced food movement in the USA. People think it's elitist, or some hippy crap, or that it's too expensive for "regular folks", whoever the hell that refers to. I call bullshit on the bullshit callers. One can eat cheap, healthy, organic, local, and rounded- you just have to plan and make an effort when you shop, and learn some techniques, some go-to inexpensive ingredients, learn about the wonders simple things like fresh herbs and the right spice balance can do for simple dishes. But you also have to learn to love cooking and make cooking a habit. You also have to have that moment when you realize that cooking well, and caring about what you're cooking, and caring about knowing how to cook the ingredients you now care about, becomes about as meaningful and rewarding a way to spend your time on earth as us lowly humans can hope for. Tinker to your heart’s content with strategic asset allocation and time your trades to when a market feels cheap or expensive, says Loeys, but you’re probably going to get stuff wrong so don’t sweat it:There is a nice discussion of sautéing as a technique, with a nice example immediately thereafter (sautéed cauliflower). Another example of technique--poaching. Following the general discussion, she uses an example quite familiar to me: poaching salmon. I have a handful of recipes featuring poached salmon (the fish cooks through, satisfying my family, and still stays moist, satisfying me). Instead, I watched the instruction on television and read the major golf publications and all it did was make the game more confusing. This isn't so much a "cookbook" as it is a book that tries to educate on how to approach food differently, to get our minds out of the increasingly fast-food mentality. A gyűlölet és a szeretet valójában egy és ugyanaz. Akkor milyen az igazi természetük? Röviden: a saját tudatod." Hm? Az nekem ettől olyan zavarban van, hogy inkább nem kérdezném semmiről. Ez valami másik kérdésre volt a válasz? Mert a "milyen?"-re tuti nem.

He now hits just about ever fairway, has gained some distance and is able to play more consistent. I believe the majority of us would take that improvement in our own games. This may be the first "cookbook" that I read from cover to cover, which works for it. It's like The Story of Food and How to Cook It. I just started this last night and I love it. The author, the owner of a lovely, but upscale restaurant, talks about food and cooking in a very down to earth way. Her premise is that anyone can cook and the only things you need are good ingredients (especially fresh local produce/herbs), good equipment (but not necessarily the most expensive), and the basic know-how. All of these things are explained and detailed in her book which reads nicely (particularly at 2:00 a.m. when you're on the couch making sure the new puppy doesn't wake the house!). There are so many great coaches out there, so many of the new coaches made popular through social media and the access we now have to them can help your game. The Alex Fortey system provides a true system that can help liberate you from the challenges of the game. If you have improved in the last 5 years, maybe it is time to try something new.After following this approach and the belief that we can give ourselves a task, make sure we have a clear target and I love the Let Go reminder. I often remind my playing partners, that we cannot manipulate our bodies and actually hit good golf shots. No, the recipes aren't low fat. In fact, many involve a bechemel and butter's her best friend: however, the very ground work of this book teaches the most rudimentary basic that most Americans seem to be missing: TASTE your food, love your food--value what you put in your body, love the taste, no matter how simple, and if it's not good, don't eat it.
