The concept of nonduality lies at the very heart of Mahayana Buddhism. In the West, it's usually associated with various kinds of absolute idealism in the West, or mystical traditions in the East-and as a result, many modern philosophers are poorly informed on the topic. Increasingly, however, nonduality is finding its way into Western philosophical debates.

The Darwinian struggle of business keeps getting more brutal as competitive advantage gaps get narrower and narrower. Anything you invent today will soon be copied by someone else - probably better and cheaper.

I'm in love with the man who was hired to keep tabs on me. Turns out I'm the one keeping tabs now because he's my neighbor… and he's hot! I was still able to think straight until I found out Noel had a son. All my common sense went out the window when I watched him care for the kid. The last thing Noel wanted was another relationship, and the last thing I wanted was heartbreak. So, I made a deal with myself that I knew I wouldn't be able to keep. Three words were all I needed to remember: No strings attached. I was prepared for everything except… the two pink lines on a stick.

The contract clearly stated that I was paying her twenty-five million dollars to have my baby. No love. No sleeping together.

Making a move on her would destroy everything, including my relationship with my sister.
