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.
Daring To Fight: When Grit, Grace & Faith Take Depression Head-On

Recommended by Brian Mininger of Bear Creek Outdoor Living, the author’s husband.
Brian writes: “I have had a front row seat to the journey and practical steps that Victoria has taken to rise up from debilitating depression to leading our company. In this book she shares the story and the practical steps while challenging the reader to fight for themselves.”
From Google Books:
In Daring To Fight, Victoria Mininger shares her painful battle with clinical depression and lays out practical steps for how she fought her way from dark days of lying on the couch to re-engaging in life again.Shame tells those struggling with depression and anxiety they are not good enough. It tells them there is something fundamentally wrong. Well-meaning friends may even whisper that a lack of faith is the cause of these deep-rooted issues–adding another layer to the shame storm for believers. They are pointed to the Bible, left to memorize verses, pray more, and go to church more without any practical guidance for how to tie God’s Word to the day-to-day obstacles that come with these struggles.
In this eight-week guidebook, Victoria outlines what it takes to battle depression head-on with grit, grace, and faith from a strong foundation in God’s Word to intentional daily rhythms. So much more than a band-aid for the heart, Daring to Fight shows those struggling with depression and anxiety how to stand on their own two feet and once again fight for their healing and health.
This is my first book, with foreword by a mentor Raymond Aaron, NY Times Top Ten best selling author.
Also see my second book “The Energy Of Forgiveness” with foreword by Eva Mozes Kor, Auschwitz survivor and founder of the Candles holocaust museum.
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.
This book is on Paul’s reading list.
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.”
Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With The Heart Of A Buddha

Recommended by Catherine Mulvihill of My Happy Insides
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.
