Richard Moss Book order (chronological)

Featuring numerous interviews with creators and developers, Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history Shareware Heroes: Independent Games at the Dawn of the Internet takes readers on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players - the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames - through to the significance of shareware for the 'forgotten' systems - the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga - when commercial game publishers turned away from them. This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian) or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart) or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.

Focusing on the transformative power of presence, this book offers techniques to navigate difficult emotions and overcome self-limiting habits. It emphasizes how being present enhances feelings of aliveness, connection, and creativity, ultimately improving life satisfaction and emotional healing. Through practical exercises and insights from counseling sessions, the author illustrates how awareness can facilitate personal growth and foster deeper connections with others, bridging the gap between understanding and action.

Das Praxisbuch von Richard Moss fokussiert auf die Erfahrung des »Jetzt« und zeigt, wie wir durch Übungen von Mustern und Konflikten loslassen können. Mit einem Mandala veranschaulicht er die Bedeutung der Gegenwart als Quelle der Kraft und bietet eine wirksame Methode zum Loslassen destruktiver Verhaltensweisen.

Many people obstruct their innate potential through repeated patterns of emotional struggle and suffering. This practical, hands-on guide explains why and how people habitually fall into this trap and provides a program, easily incorporated into everyday life, that frees them from this destructive behavior. Using a simple mandala, the book illustrates the four places humans go when they feel threatened, uncomfortable, or aren’t fully centered or grounded in the present moment. Like a trail of pebbles left behind on a hike, it helps trace the path back to the authentic self. Drawing on his three decades of teaching consciousness, Richard Moss plays the role of wise shepherd, accompanying and encouraging the reader on a journey toward the genius within and away from fear and other limitations. Most importantly, he offers an always-available compass that directs readers back to the true self, and into the magic of the present moment.
