What to Say When You Talk to Your Self
What to Say When You Talk to Your Self

Review:Positive self-talk is one of those things that is free! All you have to do is notice when you are having those negative thoughts, and then think about what it is that you want instead. Doesn't that sound simple? Well it isn't if you are used to constantly telling yourself things that work against you. Shad Helmstetter will help you stop those negative, self-defeating thoughts and teach you what to do instead in this quick read! I think everyone should read this book because most of us are o...

Five Principles for Keeping Life in Perspective - You Can Be Happy No Matter What
Five Principles for Keeping Life in Perspective - You Can Be Happy No Matter What

Review:I had misplaced the first printing of this book and wanted another. I've recommended it to so many people. It's easy to follow and one can successfully adapt each one of the Principles for happiness into his or hers own life. There are enough specific examples that enable the reader to strive for and achieve this state of happiness. It has helped me through the years, through many changes, and I continue to use the book to refresh what I've already learned. Read more

The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline
The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline

Review:Very informative! Kudos to Dr. Bredesen for his countless hours and years of research in uncovering possible answers to someday eliminate Alzheimer's. I believe his protocol could work --even though I don't have Alzheimer's, I do have the APOE gene. I want to do all I can to make sure I can prevent this happening to me. His book convinced me to follow his protocol. Read more

This book was a good read. I enjoyed Kaitlins attitude& philosophies, as well as her account of what happened at Sandy Hook school (well obviously I didn't "enjoy" that but the first hand account was more informative than removed news commentators) . The only downer was how it affected her later on, I did not see that coming nor the attitud... Read more

Simple Abundance: A Daybook of  Comfort and Joy
Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy

Review:This book is a broken down into segments for every day. Each segment is intended to be a reflection to bring more thoughtful-ness and gratitude into your life. Just reading the first couple of days was enough to tell me I was going to sincerely appreciate this book, and I do. I got the Journal to go with it and have appreciated having a place to write down my responses and thoughts from the daily reflections, which is lovely. Read more

Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness (Book & CD)
Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness (Book & CD)

Review:This is a wonderful read for anyone who struggles with depression and would like to try a new approach, a holistic approach. A lot of therapists don't realize (or at least don't practice from the point of view that) people are multidimensional; we are mind, body, AND spirit. We have physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components. I love this book, because it addresses all of the aspects. The accompanying cd is wonderful. I'm a mind, body, spirit counselor and I use this book (in my l... Read more

An Experiment in Relishing What's Right in Front of Me
An Experiment in Relishing What's Right in Front of Me

Review:Reading this book is sometimes like looking at my life from the outside! Alexandra talks about her life experiences in a way that every mom can relate. Her diary-style of writing makes you feel like you are truly getting a inside glimpse into her true everyday life.

I loved getting to see her victories and setbacks along the way of her 9 month experiment. There were so many times that I would read a sentence and think, "Yes! That is so true!"

I can't wait for others in my group to ... Read more

Rediscover the Joy of the Simple Things Through the Danish Concept of Hygge
Rediscover the Joy of the Simple Things Through the Danish Concept of Hygge

Review:Trying to find ingredients to make "Peaceful Dreams" tea turns out not to be a "simple thing"! Actually not many places in Houston that sell blend-your-own-tea ingredients. We had a place 4 blocks from our house - but it closed last year. Read more
