From Amazons description:
With the words, “Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change,” Goddard invites us to resist the temptation toward judgment and to look at ourselves for the change we want to see in the world an in others. “God’s promise is unconditional; God’s law is conditional, and comes in its own good time. If you do not experience it in this life,” he said, “You pass through a door, that’s all that death is, and you are restored to life instantly in a world like this, and you go on there with the same problems you had here with no loss of identity.”

From Amazon’s description:
Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized? Are you often busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

Catherine mentioned this book in several conversations.
From Amazon’s description:
A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don’t change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren’t enough: even when it’s literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive.
Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations?
In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey show how our individual beliefs–along with the collective mind-sets in our organizations–combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change. By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us.
This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.

The thing that grabbed my imagination was how powerfully he (Leon Hammer) synthesizes the allopathic medical view, which in my opinion is very constricted oriented as it is to diagnosing and curing a symptom, with his deep psychiatric experience and Five Elements knowledge. We are holographic, and there are so many ways into understanding ourselves and others. I lean toward a metaphorical take on symptoms, and am very interested in how language and color can be used as needles. We express our imbalances in such fascinating ways. He really taps into that in this book.
From Amazon’s description:
Behind the acupuncture, herbal remedies and sophisticated diagnostics of Chinese medicine lies a “congenial system of healing that embodies unification of body and mind, spirit and matter, nature and man, philosophy and reality.” In this comprehensive and ground-breaking presentation, based on long experience as physician, psychiatrist, and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Leon Hammer offers a new model for appreciating the traditional healer’s effective and profound respect for individual integrity and energetic balance. Explaining, and moving beyond, the five phase (element) system, he shows that this Eastern practice is as much a spiritual science as a physical one. Accessible to the layman, yet a resource for the professional in any healing art, this book examines the natural energy functions of the human organism as a key to mental, emotional and spiritual health. It offers new insight into disease, showing how it is not merely an invasion from the outside, but rather a byproduct of a person’s unsuccessful attempt to restore one’s own balance.
This is my first book, with foreword by a mentor Raymond Aaron, NY Times Top Ten best selling author.

I frequently had people ask me “when are you going to write a book about this?” and so I did!
You’ve heard the expressions “We are in the world, but not of the world” or “We are spirits having a human experience, not humans having a spiritual experience.” That is where this book originated.
This book covers my “Rules of the Spirit” paradigm for understanding what is “Of the world” and what is “Of the Spirit.” Out of that comes the “Reality Inversion” that the Rules of the World create where things appear to be opposite to what they really are. For instance the World says forgiveness is needed by the forgiven, when Spirit says forgiveness is wholly for the benefit of the forgiver. It also covers such things as the “good” and “bad” scale – there is no “good” and “bad”, there is only up or down the infinite line of “goodness” with “good” and “bad” being relative to what we perceive to be the “zero” point. But “zero” on an infinite line is arbitrary.
