I am reading the book, Healing and Recovery, by David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. and it is fascinating!  Just barely through the first chapter and I am completely wishing for 48 hours in a day so that I can be done with this book and even more on my way to spirituality! If you look at this map, you can pretty much surmise where we should all be and how we should all be behaving because every negative emotion contributes to poor health!

It is such a thrill to know that we can all change and become better at our lives and having great reference materials is essential to the journey!  It is also a lot of fun to implement these lessons and watch how the world unfolds around you.. I urge each of you to to attempt to monitor your thoughts and behavior and see how it can transform your life to a much more peaceful one.

The first chapter of this book explains this map clearly and it makes sense! It is probably stuff you already knew, but didn’t look at through the right lens, or have it explained to you on a level where it appears exciting and remarkable. The book gives real life examples of how these principles work and you can relate completely. I believe we all have something to recover from whether one can admit it or not is the opening that needs to be created for change, spirit and peace.  Pick up the book, it is truly a great tune up for the brain, mind, body and spirit!

$79.50, but worth every penny!

I keep hearing about A Course in Miracles through reading about Gabrielle Bernstein and talking with Karen Salmansohn on my blogtalkradio show and countless others, so I borrowed this book from a friend called, The Way of Mastery, which is a laymen’s version of the “Course” that has easy to understand principles and anecdotes, and paragraphs of totally useful information to remind us to take the path less followed, of forgiveness and understanding. 

It is a difficult thing to do when one feels wronged or poorly treated to keep up a smiling face and remain in any sort of relationship that proves to be problematic.  I choose to extricate myself but send along well wishes despite my parting words, which may or may not be perfectly chosen.  Sometimes you have to be heard, and say the very things that make you feel so uncomfortable just to honor yourself.  This book definitely does NOT PROMOTE that.  This book promotes being godly in all ways, which is the goal of most spiritual practice.  To love those who wrong you, and to be even more godlike in the presence of opposition. 

We all have a problem with this which is why these books exist, why we try to better ourselves, and try to understand that lower energy that happens as a result of bad choices.  This book serves as a great reminder of common sense philosophies but also illustrates ways in which we can all grow and become more peaceful as a result.

I personally happen to be most interested in business books, and this appears to be a “must read”.  Although I haven’t read it yet, I felt compelled to share it with my fellow entrepreneurs.  Doing shows on weekends regularly puts me in front of my customers and allows me valuable feedback and relationship building.  I connect with my customers on a friendly level and am genuinely interested in them as people! Seems like maybe I could have written this book.. I know I have a couple books in me… just have to find it completely.  Hope you enjoy reading about this book and/or feel compelled to read it.. I know I will… Read the info below that is on amazon.com.

What makes the world’s most successful individuals so good at their jobs? What do they do that others don’t?

The Connectors answers those questions with the kind of straightforward wisdom that business strategists so often overlook. Forget marketing tactics or business school best practices.

As I always say, “being smart is cool” and smart will get you everywhere.  I don’t understand why some youth is bent on being dumb and not furthering theirselves… so strange to me.  When I stumbled upon this diddy of a book, I knew I had to feature it on my blog because it mentions everything I believe in!

Think Tony Bennett, William Shatner, or Tina Turner. Baby Boomers and Traditionalists they may be but there is no denying that they are as connected to their Gen-Y and Millennial fans as to their contemporaries. They have become hip and sage–reinventing and reenergizing their careers by adopting new ways of thinking, collaborating, and communicating. Written from a practicing hip-and-sage professional’s point of view, Hip and Sage is prime reading for the millions of Baby Boomers challenged by today’s fast-paced changes and searching for fresh insights into how they can stay relevant and successful in today’s techno-driven workplace.

The Author has a good blog here: http://www.lisahaneberg.com/

Do survivors of life’s greatest trials possess a secret knowledge? Why do some people blossom through adversity while others fall apart? What mysterious power gets us back on our feet after we’ve been knocked down. The answer: viriditas, the power of drawing passion, beauty, and wisdom from the unlikeliest places.
   InWhen You’re Falling, Dive, the author examines this remarkable phenomenon. Seeking advice from well known survivors such as Joan Didion, Elie Wiesel and Isabel Allende, as well as philosophical experts like Eckhart Tolle, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Sogyal Rinpoche, he brings twenty-five years of personal experience to the paradoxical question of how disaster can be used to awaken and transform us.

I recommend listening to the radio show archive link as you will notice why this book will be a great read for just about anyone.  It is imperative that we “tune up” our brains, ourselves, our spirits and our bodies to progress in life.  This way it becomes infinitely more enjoyable.  To remain stagnant is both boring and a dangerous way to live.

Great Book!

I am always interested in alternatives to medications for tons of reasons.  I have acquaintances who are bi-polar, and some who suffer from plain old depression.  I get nervous for them because the long term effects of psychotropic medications are not yet explained or understood.  I also enjoy tuning myself up and trying to be the best I can, and that means improving memory, adrenal functions, and any other body systems through supplements!  This book is the ULTIMATE RESOURCE as there are tests which determine which supplements you would need to improve overall functioning!

there are brain problems that fall on the lighter side of the broken brain continuum, and while many psychiatrists and neurologists wouldn’t qualify these problems as treatable diseases, they still cause unnecessary suffering for many.

These problems include chronic stress, lack of focus, poor concentration, brain fog, anger, mood swings, sleep problems, or just feeling a bit anxious or depressed most of the time.

There is an answer to brain problems, but it’s not more drugs or psychotherapy. Although these tools can be a helpful bridge during your recovery from a broken brain, they won’t provide long term solutions.

The secret that promises to help us fix our broken brains lies in an unlikely place, a place modern medicine has mostly ignored.
