Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life 165 reviews
Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell
Three Rivers Press, 2003
Loving What Is...in this book! A Psychiatrist sings highest praise for The Work of Byron Katie.
As a Board Certified Psychiatrist who uses The Work Of Bryon Katie in my practice, I can say that after 23 years of learning and doing psychotherapy with people, I have found nothing faster or more powerful to recondition the mind/brain than The Work. It is deceptively simple and puts us face to face with our very identification with our story of a self. The Work stimulates growth like no other ...

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia 1609 reviews
Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
How Uplifting, Inspiring and Entertaining
I know I'm a little late with this review since the book has been out for some time (how did I ever miss such a good read). I was so uplifted by this book that I did something I have never done before, looking for the authors website. I was naive enough to think I could just open Elizabeth Gilbert's website and thank her for such a wonderful book and gush on about how great it was and how I can't ...

Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now110 reviews
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2001
Another spiritual inspiration.
This is a wonderful companion piece to "The Power of Now". Meditation is a great stress reliever. And not worrying about where you came from or where you are going is the key to enjoying the present moment. great book.

Don Miguel Ruiz
Amber-Allen Publishing, 2001
a lovely little book
A friend recommended this book to me and I'm grateful that he did. This is a short, but very profound little book and came to me at just the right time in my journey. If you are not ready to accept and assimilate the information provided, it will be hard to appreciate this book fully. I know that I wouldn't have been ready until now. I have the four agreements posted on my fridge and am ...

How to Win Friends & Influence People608 reviews
Dale Carnegie
Pocket, 1998
Generation X and the Millenials Need this Inspiration!
Today's "20 somethings" and "30 somethings" in the workforce have completely different attitudes than those of generations in the past. This book is an excellent example of how to enrich lives by paying it forward with positive attitudes and 'trying honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.' As Dale Carnegie puts it so eloquently "Often times we are waiting to speak instead of ...

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61) 1190 reviews
Eckhart Tolle
Penguin, 2008
Excellence from a Present-Day Spiritual Teacher
This is one of the best books I've ever read. It's easy to read and understand in its simplicity. It encapsulates many other authors' writings into a neat package full of wisdom, clarity and sage advice about spirituality. It's funny someone wrote a previous review asking "what does Tolle think of himself?" The answer: Nothing!! He lives in the Present Moment, and as he emphasizes in this ...

Zhi Gang Sha
Atria, 2008
Practical transformation at light speed
Soul Wisdom I expresses wisdom that is simple, profound, accessible and practical. As I've read each page I have felt excitement and happiness - but with a sense that I was reconnecting to an old memory of something that has been a part of me. As I read, I am carried along effortlessly and supported by the wisdom; wisdom that is both eternal and immediate. Master Sha gives frequent examples of ...

The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended24 reviews
Ainslie MacLeod
Sounds True, 2007
"The Instruction" should really be "The Revelation"
I stumbled upon "The Instruction" as I was browsing in a major bookstore and I immediately snatched it, ran home and devoured it. Perhaps the title should have been "The Revelation" because that's what it felt to me: I was flabbergasted by such a powerful epiphany.
What 'personality theory' did in the psychological field, this book does in the spiritual realm. It's the subtitle, however, that ...

The Essential Laws of Fearless Living: Find the Power to Never Feel Powerless Again46 reviews
Guy Finley
Red Wheel/Weiser, 2008
FEARLESS LIVING
Guy Finley's book was exceptional. For me it came along at the right time. The book offers valuable insights that are like tiny treasures. I read the book through and now I pick it up and read 1 page or a few pages at a time to digest it. This is a book that when digested in small amounts fills you up. If you are one who has fears in your life "The Essential Laws of Fearless Living will help ...

The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever40 reviews
Christopher Hitchens
Da Capo Press, 2007
Not So Portable Yet Extraordinary
This book is a nice collection of essays, letters and excerpts from other writings from a number of different non-believing and freethinking authors throughout history.
The introduction by Hitchens does a nice (and poignant as always) job at framing the chronologically arranged collection of pieces. Along with contemporary writers such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennet and Salman ...

Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior236 reviews
David R. Hawkins
Hay House, 2002
Profound Yet Flawed
This is a very good book and the core of it is valuable and amazing, however there are some flaws in the kinesiological method and results, and some annoying generalizations 'metal music makes one go weak' without saying what specific music was being tested. When doing kinesiological or energy testing, one must be very specific about the subject of the test. Also, one's personal feelings and ...

The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship: A Toltec Wisdom Book119 reviews
Miguel Ruiz
Amber-Allen Publishing, 1999
Profound message in layman's terms
I just want to say this is beautiful book. It has a simple message. It makes you believe that everything is okay and everything is going to be alright because if you love yourself everything falls into place. I think I'm finally starting to know what that means.
This book is easy to read but the message sticks with you. The author puts a couple of meditation prayers at the end so you have ...

Stanley Burroughs
Burroughs Books, 1976
Lemon Fresh!
Interesting book. Originally published in 1976, it's short and sweet- and actually held together by two staples. Readers may also know this "master cleansing" diet and "the lemonade diet." Having said that....
What do you do? Drink 6-12 glasses a day of a concoction made up of lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water. No other foods should betaken during ther full period of ...

A Course in Miracles323 reviews
Foundation for Inner Peace, 2007
Profound
This is a very profound book. It is a big book and challenging for many who are not focused on finishing it. But, when you do, you will notice many changes in your life.
In fact, you don't even have to do the whole course, as it seems when you are having an off day, you can just pick up the book. When you open it, you will be lead to the exact page you need to read. I would recommend this ...

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff--and it's all small stuff (Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Series)252 reviews
Richard Carlson
Hyperion, 1997
Living with Ease
This is a perfect book to have on your coffee table or at your bedside. Reading
any of Richard Carlson's 2 page chapters a day is wonderful support in having
a great life. This book has helped me feel at ease in myself. For example - the
chapter "Cut Your Some Slack," reminds me "Life is a process - just one thing after
another. When you lose it just start over again" - I love this! It's ...
