"Painting the Dream"

Painting the Dream
Joh Graney

This book is fast. Joh Graney is in a hurry. Joh Graney is rich and intense. She sets exhausting challenges. She rises high and falls low. But her great lesson as we learn in Painting the Dream, has become to pause at the look-out points along the route and express gratitude for such abundance.

Within these stories - both of high drama in exotic lands and subtle realisations around home and family - is imbedded a sincere search for truth. Each new, highly anticipated story is lived as though we are right there. We share the physical adventures, the conversations, relationships, emotions and revelations using a backdrop of stimulating, insightful writing.

With each needle point pricking her consciousness, she unrelentingly, and often painfully, peels off the layers of her pretensions and inhibitions. We find that truth integrates; that no matter who we are or what station we have on this planet, at the core there is only one universal truth.

"The Power of Full Engagement"

The Power of Full Engagement
Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz
From the show Balance Your Energy, Balance Your Life

We live in digital time. Our pace is rushed, rapid-fire and relentless. Facing crushing workloads, we try to cram as much as possible into every day. We're wired up, but we're melting down. Time management is no longer a viable solution. As best-selling authors Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz demonstrate in this groundbreaking book, managing energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness and life balance.

The number of hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not. This fundamental insight has the power to revolutionize the way you live your life. The Power of Full Engagement is a highly practical, scientifically based approach to managing your energy more skillfully both on and off the job.

At the heart of the program is the Corporate Athlete® Training System. It is grounded in twenty-five years of work with some of the world's greatest athletes to help them perform more effectively under brutal competitive pressures. During the past decade, dozens of Fortune 500 companies have paid thousands of dollars to learn the Corporate Athlete® training system. So have FBI swat teams, critical care physicians and nurses, salesmen, and stay-at-home moms. The Power of Full Engagement lays out the key training principles and provides a powerful, step-by-step program.

"Gateways to Now"

Gateways To Now
Eckhart Tolle

Life in our data-saturated modern society can make our brains dangerously over-stimulated. The chattering rush of thought and the tension it produces in the physical body is a leading cause of fatigue, physical illness, and emotional and psychological distress. Eckhart Tolle`s GATEWAYS TO NOW is a two-disc collection featuring spoken lectures by Tolle that explore methods for freeing oneself of the "prison of the mind."

Tolle touches on the concepts of silence and acceptance, urging listeners to quiet their inner monologues and affirm the reality of their biological and spiritual lives in the moment. Disc one is dedicated to Tolle`s talks, while disc two features Jorge Alfano`s soothing, global fusion music (titles like "Tibetan Moon" and "Rivers of Zimbabwe" evoke peaceful locales imbued with a deep spirituality). With its double-dose of spoken instruction and meditative soundtracks, GATEWAYS TO NOW is an excellent balm for the overwrought mind.

"The Power of Now"

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Eckhart Tolle

Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means.

Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.

 

"Unlimited Power"

Unlimited Power
Anthony Robbins

This is a comprehensive and intelligent success achievement program for setting and following through with personal and professional goals by the California behaviorist who popularized the method of "neurolinguistic programming" (NLP), or control of mind over body, culminating in his trainees' barefoot jaunt over hot coals. Essential to Robbins's "Ultimate Success Formula" are clarity of desired goals, energy, passion, persistence of action, effective communication skills and altruistic motives.

His is a success prescription based on realistic and sophisticated ideology, best suited for those who have already "got what it takes" and simply have yet to make it happen.

"The Five Love Languages"

The Five Love Languages
Gary Chapman

Over 50 months on the Bestseller List! Publishers Weekly recently recognized the spectacular performance of the original The Five Love Languages for racking up such a length of time as a bestseller. First published in 1992, it has proved to be a godsend to millions of readers who have taken to their hearts the simple truth that all humans long to feel loved. Dr. Chapman’s message not only speaks straight to the needs of troubled spouses, but also simplifies and makes practical the ways to heal damaged relationships.

Keeping in mind the sad state of parent and child relationships today, it’s no wonder that the next two books in the Love Languages series, The Five Love Languages of Teenagers and The Five Love Languages for Children, became bestsellers in their own right. In them, Dr. Chapman uses the same five love languages but applies them to children with the same loving results.

Now, at the request of many of the people in his own counseling sessions, he has created The Five Love Languages for Singles and a special Men’s Edition. And so it continues…teaching us to use the power of love to help and heal.
