The Seeker's Word List: Nine Self-Culture Terms, Defined in Plain English
Nine words that show up in self-culture writing, from discipline to liberation, defined plainly as background reading for The Billionaire Self-Culture. Personal-growth writing has its own dialect. Open nearly any book on the subject and you will meet words such as discipline, abundance and liberation, each used with a confidence that suggests the meaning is obvious. Often it is not. Two authors can use the same word to mean quite different things, and a reader can walk away with a vague mood instead of a clear idea. This article is a short word list for people exploring that territory. It is background on the subject, written as companion reading for The Billionaire Self-Culture (https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=8bntEQAAQBAJ) by Dr. Ajarn Robert Shumake (Ajarn Shaman Shu) of Buddha Digital Temple. It does not report what the book says on any page. Its job is smaller and more honest: to clarify nine words so that you can read any self-development material, that one included, with a steadier footing.
