Thich Nhat Hanh
Thich Nhat Hanh has been a foremost peace activist for four decades. A highly respected spiritual leader who is also a philosopher, scholar and student of human nature, he is, in many ways, very similar to the Dalai Lama. His knowledge, wisdom and experience on peacemaking make him a suitable candidate to talk authoritatively on this topical subject. In this manifesto he shows conflict to be an inappropriate response that we can no longer afford on a personal or global level. He also offers practical spiritual training for individual and world peace which reveals the powerful daily actions and interactions that can root out conflict from us all.

Shakti Gawain
Personal-growth pioneer Shakti Gawain presents her definition of prosperity: not bankrolls and material possessions, but rather a fulfilled heart and soul. Interviewing people about their views of prosperity, she has found that most, regardless of their wealth, feel a serious lacking in their overall sense of well-being. Using a fresh approach, she challenges the Western tendency to equate money with happiness, encouraging readers to examine their longings honestly, follow them to their roots, and separate them from false desires or addictions. Writing with authority and warmth, Gawain shows readers how to create true prosperity in satisfying relationships and the kind of happiness not dependent on possessions or circumstances.

Fred Alan Wolfe
"In his most boldy speculative inquiry to date, physicist Wolf (Taking the Quantum Leap) argues that dreams are a vital aspect of evolution, enabling an individual to develop a concept of self. The dream, in his formulation, is a map of possibility, a realm where synchronistic (i.e., noncausal yet meaningfully connected) events occur, producing self-awareness. Our dream images, even if we don't remember them, invade our waking consciousness as patterns that shape our lives, he insists. Wolf posits an "imaginal realm," halfway between material and mental reality, that manifests in lucid dreams (wherein an alert dreamer can control unfolding dream events), in near-death experiences, and possibly in UFO abductions. In this mind-stretching synthesis that challenges accepted beliefs across many fields, Wolf bolsters his thesis that dreams connect with physical reality by drawing on quantum physics, the works of Freud and Jung, modern dream research and Australian aboriginals' concept of an eternal 'dreamtime.'" - Publisher's Weekly.

Sophy Burnham
In 1977, at age 42, the author was assigned to write an article on the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu. She felt deeply that the upcoming adventure was guided by God. At a Central American airport shop she noticed people's skin were radiating intense light. The beauty of the landscape in Peru was overwhelming and she felt ecstatic joy at its beauty. The author acquiesced to a feeling of merging with the divine. She felt wave after wave of light washing over her as she melted with joy, and felt that she had had glimpses into all knowledge and truth from the very beginnings of the world. After the mystical experience was over, she was a different person. Sophy Burnham uses her own momentous journey into mystical awareness to show readers a contemporary path for experiencing divine energy, guidance, and inspiration. Threaded through her own story, Burnham gives us scores of firsthand accounts of mystical encounters as recorded by ordinary people today, as well as by saints, seers, ecstatics, and holy men and women of every faith. Burnham insightfully and comfortingly shows how their journeys - and ours - are similar, sharing a subtle, unnamed longing; passing through various stages of introspection and spiritual awareness; and opening into a single transformative moment of clarity and connection. In addition, Burnham delves into the physical side of mystical awareness, describes the age-old practices that invite mystical awareness, and points out the landmarks that one passes on this extraordinary spiritual journey.

‘Everyday Miracles’ shows us in delightful and surprising ways how to see the sacred in the ordinary, the greatest mystery hidden in the smallest gesture. So often, as we race, limp, and even battle our way through twentieth century life, we forget. Everyday Miracles provides a reminder of that other dimension - the one we touch in nature, in the eyes of children, in our moments of meditation - a reminder that the very fabric of life is miraculous. "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is." - Albert Einstein.

Here is a modern classic of unusually clear, practical instruction for the practice of Buddhist meditation: sitting and walking meditation, how one relates with the breath, feelings, thought, sense perceptions, consciousness, and everyday activities. Basic Buddhist topics such as the nature of karma, the four noble truths, the factors of enlightenment, dependent origination, and devotion are discussed.
Sharon Salzberg
Faith is a word that is often misunderstood - we may think the innocent lucky few have it while the rest of us couldn't possibly, or that we have to give up independence to attain it. In this book, Sharon Salzberg strips away negative conceptions that dismiss faith as being divisive or requiring blind adherence to a belief system. She offers advice on understanding faith as a healing quality that is grounded in common sense, intelligence and, most importantly, our own experience. Weaving her own personal story into the text (her father became mentally ill and her mother died suddenly when she was a child), the author speaks of her search for meaning. She chronicles her encounter with the East and with Buddhism, but tells the story in an everyday style that should appeal to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

Mitch Albom
An enchanting, beautifully crafted novel that explores a mystery only heaven can unfold. Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. As the park has changed over the years, so, too, has Eddie changed, from optimistic youth to embittered old age. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his - and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever. One by one, Eddie's five people illuminate the unseen connections of his earthly life. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself. A huge seller in the US, now achieving similar acclaim in the UK.

Robert Sardello
Robert Sardello is considered a leading philosopher on the soul, having inspired both Thomas Moore's and James Hillman's writings. Fear comes at us from politics, war, work, relationships, strangers, movies, and television. It keeps us from behaving intelligently, since the mind's first reaction to fear is to ignore danger, hoping it will go away. When fear takes over, it drives us to extremes of manic happiness or fits of rage; it pushes us to destroy relationships instead of letting relationships help us defeat it. When fear wins the battle, viciousness sets in, and we have miserable lives in a miserable world. Most important, fear keeps us from the one thing that could stop its taking over: becoming present. Robert Sardello argues that the soul's greatest enemy is fear. It is only when we can look every fear - from insecurity at work to existential angst - in the face that we free the soul to fulfill its potential for kindness, love, and compassion. Remainder mark.

James Redfield & Michael Murphy
Daily we hear and read about supernormal athletic feats, lives transformed by meditative practices, healing through prayer - and we experience these things ourselves. Many people sense a growing reconciliation of science and spirituality, the rise of a new worldview, and the mysterious possibilities of synchronicity and transcendence. The authors contend that thousands of years of human progress have delivered us to this very moment, in which each act of self-development is creating a new stage in planetary evolution - and the emergence of a human species possessed of vastly expanded personal abilities. This book aims to deepen our knowledge of personal growth, and shows how each of us can begin to integrate our extraordinary experiences into a heightened synchronistic flow - allowing us to participate consciously in an unfolding evolutionary adventure. With exercises that readers can use to develop the abilities they are reading about, "God and the Evolving Universe" heightens readers' awareness of their place in personal/planetary evolution and sets the stage for actualizing the next level of human potential.
