This book is on Paul’s reading list.

From Amazons description:

As we think, so we become. This fundamental truth, which some have called “The Secret” or the “Law of Attraction,” was clearly and convincingly argued for the first time in James Allen’s masterpiece, As a Man Thinketh.

Allen reveals how our thoughts shape our character, and manifest themselves in our finances, health, appearance, and environment. The choice is yours: either master your thoughts and create the life you want; or remain mired in negativity, frustration, and failure.

Recommended by our friend Kent Ladewig.

I  am currently studying this book, Ann has already read it.

Judo is a martial art, but it is the martial art that is based on deflecting aggression with the least pain and injury to both parties.  The book is a really good exercise in avoiding “the greatest speech you’ll ever live to regret.”  But more so than that, it provides very easy methods of both speech and thought to bridge difficult interpersonal situations, to help people down from emotionally stressful situations, to talk your own way out of tough situations.  In short, it provides the tools you need to be a really effective communicator.  As my mentor Raymond Aaron says, your ability to earn is based on your ability to communicate.

From the Amazon description:

Verbal Judo is the martial art of the mind and mouth that can show you how to be better prepared in every verbal encounter. Listen and speak more effectively, engage people through empathy (the most powerful word in the English language), avoid the most common conversational disasters, and use proven strategies that allow you to successfully communicate your point of view and take the upper hand in most disputes.

Verbal Judo offers a creative look at conflict that will help you defuse confrontations and generate cooperation from your spouse, your boss, and even your teenager. As the author says, “when you react, the event controls you. When you respond, you’re in control.”

FeelingsBuriedAlive

Feelings Buried Alive Never Die

By:

Amazon Links:

This is a book from my reference bookshelf.  It is a description of how buried emotions don’t just go away, but in fact can fester and cause dis-ease.  It has a section that lists parts of the body in which illness manifests, and the underlying emotions that are causing that illness.  This book is required reading.

From Amazon’s description:

Karol Truman provides a comprehensive and enlightening resource for getting in touch with unresolved feelings which, she explains, can distort not only happiness but also health and well-being. Leaving no emotion unnamed, and in fact listing around 750 labels for feelings, Truman helps identify problem areas, and offers a “script” to help process the feelings, replacing the negative feeling with a new, positive outlook. A chapter on the possible emotions below the surface in various physical ailments gives the reader plenty to work with on a deep healing level. FEELINGS BURIED ALIVE NEVER DIE combines a supportive, common-sense, results-oriented approach to a problem that is widespread and that can stop people from living fully.

ScienceOfMind

Science of Mind

This book is the “Bible” of the  “Centers for Spiritual Living,”  (CSL) spiritual movement, also referred to as “Science of Mind” founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes (1887-1960).  It contains the core teaching of CSL.  CSL is an offshoot of the New Thought movement of the mid- 1800’s, which included Emerson, Thoreau, and others.  Unity is another spiritual movement that came from the same roots, and is very similar to Science of Mind.

I read this book, along with Holmes’ “Love and Law” in the early 2000’s, long before I had discovered Unity or CSL.  I only recently discovered CSL through a study group that formed recently in Charlottesville.

This book is pure spirituality – connecting with your spiritual self, with your spiritual reality and the power that comes with that realization.  This book teaches you how to create your reality – your health, your happiness, your prosperity.  It’s all in your mind.

The “Science” of Science of Mind, is the certain and specific method.
