Inspirational Selections from A New Earth - Oneness with All Life

Review:Excellent content. I would enjoy the book a lot more if it were printed in a pure white background and with a minimalist design that is in tune with Stillness and Awareness of the formless dimension, rather than a highly decorative style reminiscent of children's books. Maybe I'll give my copy to something who enjoys that kind of look. Read more

Train Your Mind and Find a Life that Fulfills (Essential Easwaran Library)

Review:The presents an eight point program for effective meditation. His program demonstrates the fundamentals of a good meditation regimen.

The Complete Guide to Finding the Style That's Right for Your Body

Review:I love Stacy and Clinton's witty banter and usually sane fashion advice on their show, so when this book came out, I was thrilled.

The basic concept of the show is repeated here: Three workable looks for a variety of challenging body types are modelled on 26 actual people who are a stunning array of ages and sizes. It was truly amazing to see these 'plain' Ja... Read more

Why Being Your Whole Self--Not Just Your Good Self--Drives Success and Fulfillment
Why Being Your Whole Self--Not Just Your Good Self--Drives Success and Fulfillment

Review:Not at all what I expected. A relatively quick and engaging read with numerous useful insights on dealing with the non-positive side of our life. " In the failure condition, the optimists were far more likely to write off failure as inevitable. Framing an event as an inescapable failure makes it easier to digest." Should be more than a little for most everyone to take away from this book. One of the few of this genre worth shelving for a reread. Read more

and Other Health Conditions (Healthy Living Cookbooks)

Review:although this is for SCD--which is trademarked and copyrighted so that publications are consistent with the SCD guidelines--I found a lot of recipes in here included ingredients that truly will not work for an individual who has health problems and underlying intestinal issues including dairy and certain sweeteners, even saccharine. If you need to restore intestinal health, then these key items truly are not on your "good foods" list. There are a lot of good recipes in here, but a person with in... Read more
