Book SynopsisA Bigger Vocabulary = A Brighter Future. Words. They''re the foundation of nearly everything of value in our world. They have the power to create and the power to destroy. The power to inspire and to terrify. The power to enlighten and also to obscure. And, more specifically for you, they have the power to attract wealth and success and guarantee your brighter future. This is not hyperbole - it is based on rock-solid research. Studies show that those people with large vocabularies are smarter, wealthier, and happier than the average person - and substantially so. And here''s the best news of all: a large vocabulary is not tied to your social status, your genes, or even your education level. It is a skill that can be learned - and it takes only 30 days. In this cutting-edge program, 30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary, personal development expert and English enthusiast Dan Strutzel will instruct, enlighten, and inspire you with a concentrated 30-day program that will teach you over 500 words.

Book SynopsisIncludes At Your Command, Freedom For All and Out of This WorldNeville Goddard was one of the quietly dramatic and supremely influential teachers in the "new thought" field for many years. He spoke of God in intimate terms as though he knew God very well, which he did. He taught that instead of searching on the outside for answers to our questions, all we need to do is look within. Many people have the ability to observe an event before it occurs. Therefore, in the three dimensions of space, life on Earth must proceed according to plan. This plan must exist elsewhere in another dimension and be slowly moving through our space.In the immensely practical work, At Your Command, you'll receive a complete understanding of Neville''s method for using the true nature of your imaginative powers of creativity as he succinctly lays out his ideas with ease, and total practicality.Neville discloses his extraordinary and testable claim that your awakened imagination is God Itself. Drawn from Neville''s own mystical illumination, Freedom for All reveals the truth buried within the stories of the Bible. Briefly, the book states that consciousness is the one and only reality...that consciousness is the cause and manifestation is the effect.In Out of This World, Neville Goddard poses the question: "Are we able to alter our future?" Today, probably more than ever before, man demands proof of the truth of even his highest ideal. For his ultimate satisfaction he must find a principle, which is for him a way of life, a principle which he can experience as true. In the past decade the visionary work of Neville Goddard (1905-1972) has attained spectacular popularity. A new generation of readers is discovering and testing Neville''s core principle: imagining creates reality.

Book Synopsis'I used to believe that poetry did not speak to me, but I now see how wrong I was. I lived for 44 years with a husband, a lyricist, whose beautifully crafted, heartfelt lyrics touched my every fiber and continue to uplift and inspire me a decade after his death. The special beauty of Dr. Rosenthal's book for me is his discussion of what each poem is saying, what the poet was likely feeling and often how the poems helped him personally, as when he left his birth family in South Africa for a rewarding career in the United States.' - Jane Brody, Author & New York Times ColumnistPoetry to Heal, Inspire and EnjoyPoetry Rx presents 50 great poems as seen through the eyes of a renowned psychiatrist and New York Times bestseller. In this book, you will find insights into love, sorrow, ecstasy and everything in between: Love in the moment or for a lifetime; love that is fulfilling or addictive; when to break up and how to survive when someone breaks up with you.Separate sections deal with responses to the natural world, and the varieties of human experience (such as hope, reconciliation, leaving home, faith, self-actualization, trauma, anger, and the thrill of discovery). Other sections involve finding your way in the world and the search for meaning, as well as the final stages of life.In describing this multitude of human experiences, using vignettes from his work and life, Rosenthal serves as a comforting guide to these poetic works of genius. Through his writing, the workings of the mind, as depicted by these gifted writers speak to us as intimately as our closest friends.Rosenthal also delves into the science of mind and brain. Who would have thought, for example, that listening to poetry can cause people to have goosebumps by activating the reward centers of the brain? Yet research shows that to be true.And who were these fascinating poets? In a short biosketch that accompanies each poem, Rosenthal draws connections between the poets and their poems that help us understand the enigmatic minds that gave birth to these masterworks. Altogether, a fulfilling and intriguing must-read for anyone interested in poetry, the mind, self-help and genius.CONTENTSIntroductionPART ONELoving and LosingChapter OneIs There an Art to Losing?One Art by Elizabeth BishopChapter TwoCan Love Transform You?How do I love thee?

It all started with a single phone call that came in late one night. The caller was my friend David, and I knew immediately by the tone of his voice that something was wrong. He choked up as he told me that he had recently lost someone very dear to him. How can I go on? he mused. How will I manage? Clichés and generalities readily come to mind in such situations, but I searched for something specific to say, something that might actually help. Recognizing that David is a person steeped in the arts, I said, There is an art to losing, and like all art, it can be developed. He was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice sounded more cheerful, as though he had tapped into some hidden source of hope. . Do you know the poem One Art' by Elizabeth Bishop? he asked. I told him no. Well, let me read it to you, and he began: The art of losing isn't hard to master.' As he read on, his voice gathered strength and energy with each stanza. Afterwards his mood was lighterand strangely, so was mine. . Can a poem really help a grieving person? I wondered, and if so, might other poems also have healing powers? I marveled also at how David had reached into the depths of his grief and presented me with a gifta poem that offered me a fresh perspective on how to help someone out of the darkness that can engulf you when you lose someone you love. I shared the poem with patients and friends, many of whom found comfort in its words, and looked for o

Book SynopsisHumans have been conditioned to fear and avoid changes, but no advancement happens without it. Change is the driving factor behind all progress even though we are inherently uncomfortable with it and strive to maintain the status quo. We prefer repetitive, routine tasks with minimal energy which is why so much of our lives happen on autopilot.Comfort zones provide a sense of well-being, but change happens and we are thrust into transitions, sometimes against our will. It takes time to process the emotions and adapt to a new environment with a new set of rules and as difficult as that is for individuals, the level of complexity is multiplied in organizations. This provides specific challenges to leadership who must adapt the conscious act of leading audaciously as it is the difference between survival and failure. A leader must motivate people out of their natural preference for inertia and into a new level of excitement about making changes that they are programmed to resist. History provides excellent examples of audacious leadership strategies.Dr. Judy Morley outlines five audacious strategies, illustrated by examples from the Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg, and contemporary businesses. Each strategy is considered audacious because it didn't necessarily follow the prescribed norms and called for bold, daring action. The success of these strategies in the microcosm of the Battle of Gettysburg is reinforced by a contemporary example in the macrocosm of today's business world. If the use of these strategies can change the course of humanity, they can certainly beef up your leadership.

Book SynopsisIn Essentials of Emotional Intelligence, Dr. John Demartini puts into perspective how your perceptions affect your reality and why Emotional Intelligence is so important in the achievement of your goals and dreams.Your emotions are likely based on previous experiences, the subordination to outside ideals and norms that you’re “supposed” to live by, your own personal experiences, the fantasy you have made about your life that you dream about that may not even be real, and the real objectives that you hold inside of you.Emotional Intelligence is the ability to perceive and interpret the reality of life; respond accordingly with the various well-governed emotions; and measure, manage and use those reasonable emotions for communication, leadership, social development, and more. You must be able to monitor and govern both your perceptions and actions and keep them balanced.The ancient hermetic teaching said that spirit without matter is expressionless and matter without spirit is emotionless. Matter itself, deals with emotions and spirit itself is unconditional love. Love is not just happiness, love is attraction and repulsion. I like you. I dislike you. Emotions are either positively or negatively charged, such as happiness and sadness, elation and depression, infatuation and resentment. Learn how: Your emotions and subconsciously stored impulses and instincts about something when you’re five years old can still run your life 55 years later To equilibrate your emotions to liberate you from subjective bias and get to the truth You can manage your responses to people or events so you are able to master your life To maximize your communication skills, business opportunities, income, and relationship dynamics It’s time to master The Essentials of Emotional Intelligence.

You'll be using the power of your mind to achieve a level of self-confidence and success that you previously thought wereout of reach. The core idea that Zig will present to achieve this, is one that Zig learned from the classic researcher Maxwell Maltz---and that's the idea of self-image. While the term self-image is rarely used today, this breakthrough idea is at the core of much modern thinking in psychology and neuroscience. Until you change the image you have of yourself in your brain, you'll never achieve the goals you have for yourself, due to self-sabotage and other neural factors that keep you locked safely in your comfort zone.Another way of thinking of the concept of self-image and how to program one's self-image for positive results is what Zig considers the preferred outcome----which is self-transformation. So when Zig discusses self-image let it trigger the idea of self-transformation. If you follow the steps that follow, and unleash the power of your mind to develop a positive self-image, you will unlock your greatness..and Zig will see YOU at the top!
