Book Synopsis'He explains how even in the face of the unthinkable, happiness is still possible' – StylistSolve for Happy is the equation for happiness. A startlingly original book about creating and maintaining happiness, written by a top Google executive with an engineer's training and fondness for thoroughly analyzing a problem. Mo Gawdat, a remarkable thinker whose gifts had landed him top positions in half a dozen companies and who – in his spare time – had created significant wealth, realized that he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would, examining all the provable facts and scrupulously following logic. When he was finished, he had discovered the equation for enduring happiness.Ten years later, that research saved him from despair when his college-aged son, Ali – also intellectually gifted – died during routine surgery. In dealing with the loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of 'moonshot' that he and his Google [X] colleagues were always aiming for: he would help ten million people become happier by pouring his happiness principles into a book and spreading its message around the world.One of Solve for Happy's key premises is that happiness is a default state. If we shape expectations to acknowledge the full range of possible events, unhappiness is on its way to being defeated. To steer clear of unhappiness traps, we must dispel the six illusions that cloud our thinking (e.g., the illusion of time, of control, and of fear); overcome the brain's seven deadly defects (e.g., the tendency to exaggerate, label, and filter), and embrace five ultimate truths (e.g., change is real, now is real, unconditional love is real).By means of several highly original thought experiments, Mo helps readers find enduring contentment by questioning some of the most fundamental aspects of their existence.Trade ReviewA powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek in a way we can act upon -- Sergey Brin, co-founder of GoogleHe explains how even in the face of the unthinkable, happiness is still possible. * Stylist *By applying his formula, we stop asking, “Why me; why now; what if?” and focus on how we can make the best of life, despite the pain we may feel. * Psychologies *Mo has an incredible gift to inspire, educate and teach others how to be happy. -- Lewis Howes, author of The Mask of Masculinity and New York Times bestseller, The School of GreatnessA fun read, with tips for steering clear of 'unhappiness traps'. * The Scotsman *

Book SynopsisAngels are loving forces in our lives. Each of us has the ability to communicate with them if we open our minds to their teachings. Belinda Womack was a believer in Angels until the age of 12, when she decided she wanted to become a scientist. Years later, working in a biology lab, she found herself in the presence of the Archangel Gabriel and realized her calling as a spiritual conduit for Angelic healing and support. In this book she shares lessons, practices, and daily guidance from the 12 Archangels to help us listen to and heal our wounded inner child, release our fears, and enact deep subconscious transformation. Each word, transmitted directly from the 12 Archangels, carries their love, so that when read, the love is absorbed into the reader's mind and supports the release of our deepest wounds and fears. The tools and exercises shift your vibration so results are both felt and experienced immediately. Each message awakens your innate spiritual power to rebuild destroyed self-esteem, lifting you higher in vibration and allowing life to be filled with the power of your own divinity. The book includes Angelic guided visualizations on working with Angels to access the healing power of the chakras and to manifest with the creative imagination, as well as specific messages from the 12 Archangels designed for quick access to practical guidance when Angelic support is needed in daily life. As Belinda Womack shows, by opening ourselves to the support of the 12 Archangels, we can move out of the past and into Heaven's abundance, heal our inner wounds, and shift our vibration to one of unconditional love for self, others, Mother Earth, and the Universe.Trade Review“Her words flow like a crystalline river whose source she entices you to find.

Book SynopsisAttract wealth and healing with the guidance of the 12 Archangels. You are personally invited by the 12 Archangels to receive all that you desire from Source, especially the true happiness that often seems out of reach. Your Soul has the clear guidance and tools to help you move from lack to abundance and attract wealth and healing and the Archangels will show you how. Speaking through Belinda Womack, who has been a channel for the 12 Archangels for more than 30 years, the Angels explain the root issue behind our lack of abundance is the fear of not enough. Sharing 63 healing visualizations, the Angels guide you to dissolve the deep subconscious layers of guilt and shame that keep you stuck in a fear-induced lack of wealth and become receptive to the infinite bounty of the Universe. Reading the visualizations from the 12 Archangels, with intention, helps you tap in to the singing colors and undiluted love of the Central Sun mirrored in your chakras. The visualizations raise the vibration of your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to attract wealth—not only financial gain, but all that you need to receive from Source to feel safe, happy, healthy, and free. The 12 Archangels share lessons on the relationship between money and Divine Law, how to cultivate your garden of intuition and creativity, and how to resolve financial debt with understanding and love. They offer nighttime practices that support your transformation into a vessel to receive the full blessings of Source. They also offer advanced practices on harnessing your innate power to transform suffering. Helping you connect with the boundless care and “deep pockets” of your Soul to transform financial struggles and eliminate self-doubt, the 12 Archangels show that life keeps improving when you make room for the vast flow of creative genius and abundance coming from the Universe through the Divine Feminine.Trade Review“In their new book, the 12 Archangels make it clear that to solve the problems we face as human beings we must transform our own heartache, both known to us as well as what is hidden in the deep subconscious. In this practical guide, channeled at the pure frequency of love, the Angels show us the way to free ourselves, and the collective, from lack and suffering. It begins with connecting with Source through the feminine so that we rise from limitations imposed on us by the old male patriarchy. Bravo, Belinda and the Angels, for revealing the truth about money and lighting the path to real abundance.” * Regina Meredith, host of Open Minds on Gaia TV *“Angel Abundance is mesmerizing. Written with the wisdom that comes from facing real-life financial challenges, it inspires the reader to truly know and feel our connection with God and the Angels. Abundance is our birthright. This book will guide you to that reality.” * Christiane Northrup, M.D., New York Times bestselling author of Goddesses Never Age *“Belinda and the 12 Archangels’ work in this book is profound, to say the least. Angel Abundance is a guiding light for all those souls who want to connect to inner wealth in this age of massive awakening around the world.” * Alex Ferrari, host of the Next Level Soul podcast *"I highly recommend Angel Abundance. Womack did an amazing job of imparting to us the love and wisdom of the 12 Archangels. The words were soothing but they also captured my rapt attention. I felt the loving support behind each and every word that I read. I truly believed that my highest good was at the forefront of what the Archangels were imparting. Who could ask for more?

Book SynopsisJourney through the seven feminine archetypes to rediscover your essential self. Journey through the archetypal wisdom of the divine feminine to gain a better understanding of your psyche, reclaim your essential self, and activate the life you desire. Guiding you to awaken the wisdom of your feminine soul, Mara Branscombe presents an inspiring look at the seven feminine archetypes that prevail in the modern psyche—Maiden, Mother, Sage, Huntress, Lover, Mystic, and Queen. She explains the continuing arc of influence these feminine archetypes have throughout different stages of life, sometimes dormant, sometimes prominent. Revealing the positive impact the archetypes can have if we embrace them and live them consciously, Mara explores each archetype’s beneficial qualities, its connections to the physical-emotional-mental body, and its shadow aspects. She shares step-by-step creative practices, guided visualisations, mind-body rituals, and soulful poetry to help you embody each archetype, including inviting in the light aspects and integrating the shadow. She also shares embodiment techniques to help you shift your consciousness and untangle from the habitual and unconscious patterns that dim your vital spark. Encouraging you to stay open to all archetypes, rather than concentrating solely on the archetype you are living right now, this guide shows how to weave the fine strands of the different archetypes together in a divine feminine way to help you reclaim your wholeness. By viewing yourself and the world through the lens of the seven feminine archetypes, you will discover how each cycle and experience in life are part of the unfolding of your own living ceremony.Trade Review“Capturing the creative, intuitive, and feminine spirit that can and will transform our world, Sage, Huntress, Lover, Queen invites us to the edges of shadow and light to understand key archetypes, prioritize our love, and reclaim our feminine leadership.” * ELENA BROWER, mentor, artist, yoga and meditation teacher, and author of Practice You, Being You, an *“Sage, Huntress, Lover, Queen is a beautiful guide that leads to a deeper understanding of self.

Book SynopsisA guide to emotional healing and living a more self-accepting life by learning to love oneself. Behind many of our problems lies an often ignored factor: we don’t like ourselves very much. We are sufferers of self-hatred. We tell ourselves the meanest things. It’s because of self-hatred that we tend to neglect our potential at work and get entangled in unfulfilling relationships, that we lack confidence in our social lives and suffer from anxiety and despair. This is a book that, with immense compassion and fellow feeling, investigates the phenomenon of self-hatred while giving pragmatic advice on how to overcome it. It asks where the feeling comes from, what it makes us do and how we might become kinder and more compassionate towards ourselves. We have probably spent far too much of our lives disliking ourselves and attacking everything we say, do or feel, while not even realising what we’re up to. It’s time to overcome our masochism and move towards a more self-forgiving and accepting stance. On Self-Hatred is a guide to the more compassionate and gentle relationship we should have had with ourselves from the start, and can all achieve now.
