Oliver James
Do your relationships tend to follow the same destructive pattern? Do you feel trapped by your family's expectations of you? Does your life seem overwhelmingly governed by jealousy or competitiveness or lack of confidence? Current fashion holds that this is all down to genes - we are the victims of what we inherit and can do little to change that. But in this book, clinical psychologist Oliver James shows that, more than genes, it is the way we were cared for in the first six years of life that has a crucial effect on who we are and how we behave. The legacy of this early care is lifelong and startlingly far-reaching. Through case histories and his own wide-ranging research, James reveals that childhood experience dominates our choice of friends and lovers, defines our interests and professional drive and even determines how prone we might be to emotional and mental problems. The influence of the formative years, James contends, actually affects the development of our brains, moulding their chemistry and patterns of electrical messages. Nurture, in effect, shapes our very nature. James combines scientific study with revealing interviews with, among others, Stephen Fry and Jeffrey Archer, and he explores the psychobiographies of the likes of Woody Allen, Mia Farrow and Prince Charles. This text shows that understanding your past is the first step to controlling your present. To this end, each chapter includes a searching questionnaire that enables you to perform an "emotional audit" and become more aware of your role in your own unique family drama.

Jose Arguelles
In Time and the Technosphere, José Argüelles presents a groundbreaking study that distinguishes the natural time of the cosmos from the artificial mechanistic time under which we currently live. Argüelles defines the actual nature of time as the frequency of synchronization. Applying this Law of Time to an understanding of the entire system of life on Earth, he shows that in order to not destroy Earth’s ability to sustain life, we must change our definition of time and adopt a natural harmonic calendar based on the 13-moon 28-day cycle. Until the creation of the Gregorian calendar and the 60-minute hour, most of humanity lived by the 28-day cycle of natural time. The adoption of artificial time has subjected us to a 12:60 time frequency that governs the entire global industrialized civilization-the technosphere. With the collapse of the Twin Towers on September 11, a fissure was created in this artificial technosphere, opening up the noosphere (Earth’s mental envelope). Humanity has a golden opportunity to leave the strife of the past and enter a time of peace by adopting a harmonious natural calendar that will repair the damages caused by the irregular tempo of technospheric time. Our last best chance to adopt this natural time and step into the bright new future promised by the galactic shift of 2012 is the Great Calendar Change of 2004, a new discovery based on the author’s mathematical research into the Mayan calendar first begun in his landmark work The Mayan Factor. In Time and the Technosphere, Argüelles reveals the clear distinction between third-dimensional astronomical time and the fourth-dimensional synchronic order of the Law of Time, which holds enormous potential for the future of humanity.

Timeshift takes us on a voyage into the fabric of time that illuminates our consciousness. It describes the process whereby time and matter are created. Our perception of time colours our most intimate perception of Self. Timeshift opens our awareness to the subtle dimensions of time. Freed from the past limitations on human experience, we participate in the massive shift in planetary consciousness. The planet, liberated from the constraints of timebound reality, will break free and become a portal through which human life can reinvent itself. The experiences underlying this book originate from the many years of consciousness exploration, including lucid dreaming and the process of learning to retrieve information from subtle states of awareness.

David R Hawkins
In this revolutionary book Hawkins demonstrates how a simple test, in seconds, can solve riddles that have been irresolvable by mankind for centuries.The exploration into the truth of man's activities is unique, intriguing, and provocative. From a new perspective, one quickly grasps the levels of truth expressed by the media, the arts, writers, painters, architecture, movies, TV, politics, and war, as well as academia and the greatest thinkers and philosophies through the ages and up to present-day science and advanced theories of the nature of the universe. Most importantly, the ego and its structure are revealed to facilitate the understanding of religious and spiritual truths expressed by the mystics and enlightened sages over the centuries. It becomes apparent why the human mind, unaided, has been intrinsically incapable of discerning truth from falsehood.

Alvin Schwartz
It started with a telephone call. A telephone call that was to change the life of Alvin Schwartz, who for seventeen years had been a writer of Superman and Batman comics. The strange caller, a Mr Thongden, urgently requested a meeting with Schwartz, because, like Superman, he was an "idea become real." Two days after Schwartz has hung up on his seemingly crazy caller, Thongden appears on Schwartz's doorstep having cycled the 37 miles from New York. So begins this unlikely spiritual memoir. As the Mysterious Mr Thongden reveals what he calls "The Path Without Form," Schwartz leads us among Tibetan monks, expressionist painters, Hawaiian kahunas, quantum physicists, and superheroes. Along the way, we come to understand how we shape our own realities, our notions of time and space, even consciousness itself.

Carlos Warter
In today's society, it is all too easy to believe that we are our outer identities - that we are spouse or lover, child or parent, worker or artist, victim or addict. But now Dr. Warter, drawing on the age-old wisdom of the world's major religions, his own illuminating life experiences, and his consultations with the Dalai Lama and other great spiritual leaders, shows that in order to heal, to become whole, to become ourselves, we must go beyond the small, self-constructed circles of identity that we assume each day. For it is our very attachment to these false, limiting personalities that leads to chronic stress and disease...while keeping us from recognizing our greatest treasure: our sacred selves. In Who Do You Think You Are? Dr. Warter offers the tools - from Buddhist prayers to original meditations - that can help us reconnect with our authentic selves. Discover: why any transition - birth, illness, death, or, indeed, any kind of change - can be a springboard for personal and spiritual evolution, how combining the use of modern medicine and alternative therapies with the power of an open heart and divine love can bring us to a place of unconditional wellness, and how living in the moment results in greater awareness, a reduction in stress, and the development of real self-esteem.

Spencer Johnson
What began as a 94-page self-help book has grown into a major international bestseller. Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a ‘maze’ and look for ‘cheese’ to nourish them and make them happy. Two are mice named Sniff and Scurry. And two are ‘little people’ - beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. Their names are Hem and Haw. ‘Cheese’ is a metaphor for what you want to have in life - whether it’s a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, good health, or spiritual peace of mind. And ‘the maze’ is where you look for what you want - the organisation you work in, or the family or community you live in. Written for all ages, this story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights can last for a lifetime.

"What the Kanes have to offer is so very simple...and yet so very profound. In the garden of all the flowers for personal transformation, and I have sampled many, this is the Rose." - Johnnie Jackson.
