Joy Manne
In this caring guide, psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner Joy Manne suggests that by differentiating between the Ego, the focus of Western psychotherapy, and the Soul, the spiritual/ethical part of one’s consciousness, we can move to a Soul Path, where we strive for harmony and balance. Manne envisions this Soul as a creative, healing inner shaman. Blending a number of contemporary therapies with ancient practices of purification and breathwork, Manne touches both body and soul. "’Soul Therapy’ gives powerful, simple guidance for healing our core issues. It points the way to how we can create ethical and compassionate relationships with others" - Kylea Taylor.

Albert Taylor
In this fascinating volume, you will read the story of one man's ability to travel beyond the physical plane of existence in search of the "Ultimate Truth" in this world...and the next. From an early age, Albert Taylor experienced bouts of almost death-like paralysis which were accompanied by extraordinarily lucid and realistic dreams. His grandmother called them "Witch Rides. " As he grew older and learned more about his gift, these Witch Rides progressed in strength and scope to eventually become full-fledged out-of-body experiences. Gradually, Albert found himself able to "fly" with his mind to distant places, breaking the boundaries of this world, and encountering spirits beyond. Engineer, scientist, and artist, Albert Taylor relates his research and knowledge with great insight and humor. He tells us how these paranormal events have affected his life, how anyone can have an out-of-body experience...and even learn to consciously control their "Soul Travels."

Melody Beattie
In this facinating sequel to her bestselling Codependent No More, Melody Beattie takes us far beyond the revolutionary lessons of that book, which touched uncounted lives. Her newest offering is a refreshing departure from the traditional self-help format and is distinguished by the familiar compassionate voice and penetrating insight for which Beattie is renowned. Stop Being Mean to Yourself takes us to Northern Africa on a modern-day odyssey: one as full of suspense and excitement as it is of hope and encouragement. In teeming Casablanca, in war-torn Algeria, in the deep caverns of Egypt's great pyramids, Beattie uncovers simple yet vital lessons for living in today's world: lessons about letting go of fear and trusting our own instincts, about setting boundaries and working with our own special power. A masterful blend of travel adventure and guide to spiritual discovery, full of new ideas for overcoming the pitfalls of guilt and self-doubt, her story beautifully illustrates the importance of self-love. "... gives you the tools to discover the magnificence and splendour of your being." - Deepak Chopra.

Balasa Prasad
Dr. Prasad contends that smoking is a problem of the mind, not of nicotine addiction. Why do most people who try to quit smoking fail - even with the help of the nicotine patch, gum, medications, hypnotism, or other state-of-the-art aids? In his radical approach to conquering the smoking habit, Dr. Balasa Prasad states that these crutches are ineffective because they futilely focus on nicotine addiction instead of the underlying psychological triggers that enslave smokers to their habits. His inspirational and practical program gives readers a confidence in their inner strength, helps them identify their addictive profile with the use of questionnaires, and provides a powerful three-step plan that will help them kick the habit once and for all.

Jean Marie Stine
A breakthrough guide to liberating the brain's untapped power to achieve remarkable success. This revealing book provides the secret to achieving the astounding: maximizing the brain's total capacities. Most people, in fact, use a mere ten percent of their mental abilities. Jean Marie Stine, renowned for her nationwide seminars on "instant learning," draws on cutting-edge scientific research to present an unprecedented strategic program for liberating the vast untapped reservoir of brain power - and get it operating at its peak. Super Brain Power is based on a revolutionary new understanding of "intelligence." As researchers have found - and as Stine makes clear without complex, technical details or jargon--the brain actually contains six distinct forms of intelligence: Visual, Verbal, Logical, Creative, Physical, and Emotional.. Separate and independent, each intelligence has its own mechanisms for problem solving, learning, and remembering. This book provides a comprehensive, integrated system to unleash the brain's six secret intelligences--and keep them all working together. Remainder mark.

James Hillman
Why do we love war? asks Jungian psychoanalyst Hillman, author of the bestselling The Soul's Code. One might ask in reply, Do we, in fact, love war? Hillman answers unequivocally in the affirmative, skewering modern pretension to prefer the Prince of Peace to the god of war. Mars is the central character in Hillman's exploration of war as an archetypal impulse. "The whole bloody business," he writes, "reveals a god, therewith placing war among the authentic phenomena of religion. And that is why it is so terrible, so loved, and so hard to understand." His portrayal of war as an implacable force, a primary element of the human condition, is unsettling, as is his description of war as a "beautiful horror" - but he cites enough memoirs and letters written by those in the heat of battle to convince that it can have a kind of beauty for combatants. Hillman also effectively evokes the transcendent, Mars-like fury that overtakes soldiers in battle ("I felt like a god... I was untouchable," writes one). Throughout, Hillman offers other disturbing insights: readers may feel a shock of recognition when he compares our addiction to viewing war (whether real or cinematic) to the viewing of pornography, noting that we are all voyeurs. But Hillman's mesmerizing prose loses its impact when he launches a sneering attack on Christianity (and the U.S., where "we are all Christians") for being a warrior religion. And perhaps only Jungians will understand his baffling assertion that aesthetic passion (or, in archetypal terms, devotion to Venus) can slow our ceaseless rush to war. - Publishers Weekly.

Ken Wilber
Ken Wilber has long been hailed as one of the most important thinkers of our time but - until now - his work has seemed difficult for the general reader who lacks a background in consciousness studies or evolutionary theory. A Theory of Everything is a concise, comprehensive overview of Wilber's revolutionary thought and its application in today's world. Here at last is a book that will allow a general audience fully to understand what all the excitement has been about. In clear, non-technical language, Wilber presents complex, cutting-edge theories and models that integrate the realms of body, mind, soul, and spirit. He then demonstrates how these theories and models can be applied to real world problems in fields such as politics, medicine, business, education and the environment. Finally, he discusses daily practices that readers can take up in order to apply this integrative vision to their own, everyday lives. Theory of Everything is a compelling blueprint for the application of Wilber's ground-breaking theory in daily, practical situations. Remainder mark.

Alice Miller
Returning to the themes of her classic The Drama of the Gifted Child, the renowned psychoanalyst Alice Miller examines the consequences of cruelty to children and offers ways we can heal our early psychic wounds. In simple but powerful prose, the deeply moving The Drama of the Gifted Child showed how parents unconsciously form and deform the emotional lives of their children. Alice Miller's stories about the roots of suffering in childhood resonated with readers everywhere, and her book soon achieved cult status and became a bestseller. In The Truth Will Set You Free Miller returns to the intensely personal tone and themes of her best-loved work. Only by embracing the truth of our past histories can any of us hope to be free of pain in the present, she argues. Miller's vivid true stories reveal the perils of early-childhood mistreatment and the dangers of mindless obedience to parental will. Drawing on the latest research on brain development, she shows how spanking and humiliation produce dangerous levels of denial. This denial, necessary for the child's survival, leads to emotional blindness and finally to mental barriers that cut off awareness and the ability to learn new ways of acting. If this cycle repeats itself, the grown child will perpetrate the same abuse on later generations. Remainder mark.

Darlene Cohen
Darlene Cohen discovered the secret to finding happiness in the midst of debilitating pain. She shares her knowledge in her popular workshops and now in this book. Cohen, who has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for eighteen years, was hobbling painfully to her local Zen centre one day, when she made a discovery that changed her life: if she focused on the foot that was in the air rather than the one that was hitting the pavement, her stamina increased enormously. It was the beginning of a completely different approach to the crippling pain that had beset her for so long. As she demonstrates here, this approach can be expanded to all types of pain: physical, psychological, and spiritual. Cohen - a certified massage and movement therapist and Zen teacher - proposes a radically liberating alternative to the usual desperate search for pain relief: paradoxically, she says, release from suffering lies in paying closer attention to it. When we keep pain at bay, we keep pleasure at bay, too. The two are interdependent, and our ability to experience each is totally dependent on our understanding of the other. "Enrich your life exponentially," Cohen advises. If your pain is one of the ten things you are aware of, then it constitutes a tenth of your total awareness. Expand your awareness to a hundred things, however, and your pain is only a hundredth of your awareness. With stories, strategies, exercises, and an awareness born of long Zen practice, Cohen shows us how to tap into that enrichment - and how we can lead a satisfying and even joyful life in the very midst of pain.

Elliott S Dacher
For more than 20 years, Dr Elliott Dacher, a practising and leading advocate of mind/body healing, has worked with thousands of patients, treating them by helping them rethink their ideas about healing and wellness. Using an original "whole healing" model, Dr Dacher highlights our four healing systems, which together have a remarkable power to keep us well: the body's own natural system of checks and balances; the mind/body approach, in which physical and psychological components are interdependent; the best traditional and alternative treatments available; and the transforming strength of our spiritual resources. When we draw on these four healing systems simultaneously, Dr Dacher argues, we can profoundly affect our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Using these fundamental concepts, Dr Dacher includes step-by-step, imaginative exercises that start the reader on an incremental and exciting path to wellness. Whole Healing takes the reader on a journey from powerlessness to purpose as we confront the physical and emotional ills that are an essential part of human experience.

Kim Chernin is renowned for her prolific writing - including fiction and memoir - on issues affecting women's lives, ranging from eating disorders and sex to relationships. In The Woman Who Gave Birth to Her Mother, she offers readers a culmination of that work - a fully integrated vision that will help women resolve their lifelong struggles with their mothers and become fully independent, capable people. Giving birth to one's mother" is a symbolic act of self-creation that opens the door to autonomy and fulfilment. It is a model for breaking the pattern of the endless cycles of blame and forgiveness of mothers in which many women live out their lives. Exploring six compelling case histories of women who have resolved these issues in unique and creative ways, Chernin offers her own insights based on years of working with women in therapy, and on her own problematic relationship with her daughter. A tour de force of analysis, compassion, and erudition, this exciting, important work is further evidence that Chernin is "blessed with the eloquence of a poet and the gifts of a born therapist" - San Francisco Chronicle.

Why do so many women feel that men don't tell them anything, but just lecture and criticise? Why do so many men feel that women nag them and never get to the point? In this pioneering book Deborah Tannen shows us how women and men talk in different ways, for profoundly different reasons. While women use language to make connections and reinforce intimacy, men use it to preserve their status and independence. The result is that conversation becomes a cross-cultural communication, fraught with genuine confusion.
