What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson’s answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.
Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

Cat spoke of the story about the tiger in a cage, who was given a new habitat. When the tiger was placed in the new habitat, it still just paced in the same 12×12 space as it was used to – it never took advantage of the newer, bigger space. That’s the discomfort we feel when we are presented with a new, greater possibility.
From Amazon’s description:
Writing with great warmth and clarity, Tara Brach brings her teachings alive through personal stories and case histories, fresh interpretations of Buddhist tales, and guided meditations. Step by step, she leads us to trust our innate goodness, showing how we can develop the balance of clear-sightedness and compassion that is the essence of Radical Acceptance. Radical Acceptance does not mean self-indulgence or passivity. Instead it empowers genuine change: healing fear and shame and helping to build loving, authentic relationships. When we stop being at war with ourselves, we are free to live fully every precious moment of our lives.

From Amazons description:
The MetaSecret by Dr. Mel Gill The movie THE SECRET revealed to us THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. This Law of Attraction is but ONE of seven ancient Hermetic Laws. The METASECRET reveals ALL SEVEN OF THE ANCIENT LAWS! Along with that are practical strategies and methods to systematically manifest your desires and to finally LIVE YOUR DREAMS! The METASECRET has been described by some as a rapid Step-by-Step ‘How-to’ Video Manual of the greater workings of The Laws of Attraction. It begins with my Near-Death experience falling from a mountain and losing my arm in the Operating room to my various encounters with Wisdom Teachers both from the East and the West. It ends with a reminder that we are Spiritual Beings having very temporary LIFE experiences and that it is not the things we collect or own that defines us……it is how we RESPOND to our circumstances. I wrote this book, and created the movie and paid for it by working 18 hours a day 7 days a week for the past 3 years because I believed that pain was inevitable but suffering was optional for all humanity. I wanted to others another way to be. In one sentence,The METASECRET is a reminder that the Journey through Life is our primary thing in life … and we must experience more feelings of GRATITUDE for what we already have, the places we live and the people that we surround ourselves with.

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.”
