Psychic Psychology: Energy Skills for Life and Relationships
by Gloria Hemsher John FriedlanderThis useful guide from two of America's preeminent psychics is unique in its focus on individual psychology and interpersonal relationships. It begins with simple meditations during which practitioners learn how to recognize their own psychic energy--and also determine if that energy is constrained. Psychic Psychology shows how to free energy through such tools as grounding, clearing psychic enmeshment, and finding the space from which to respond most openly, resourcefully, and generously to life. An entire chapter is devoted to exploring the specific energies men and women have based on their biological differences and helping them to deal with their own energy and that of the other sex. Friedlander and Hemsher present the everyday usefulness of clairvoyant skills within a big picture where they explain that we create our reality, but do not control it; and that the personality--like the soul--is eternal and always growing. The final section describes how psychic skills can be applied in real-world contexts, which are often ambiguous and contradictory. The book explores common issues such as dealing with self-doubt without jumping to unwarranted, blind confidence and how to communicate effectively, with clear boundaries.

Throughout the book, we've presented differing views on the same issue, along with questions that are designed to stimulate readers' critical thinking.
Publishing from Your PhD: Negotiating a Crowded Jungle
by Nicola F. JohnsonThere is consistent pressure on all academics to publish, publish, publish. But not unless they have been awarded their PhD - considered by most to be the starting step of an academic career. So while the pressure is on to obtain the title, and then obtain a permanent position, and then publish journal articles, there is little support available to researchers in the nascent stage of their careers. Publishing from Your PhD precisely focuses on providing early career researchers with emotional and collegial support that is often not available in academe. It seeks to dispel nepotistic notions of superiority that places Professors and such on a pedestal. It specifically clarifies the difficulty in having written the PhD thesis and then rewriting it to suit the genre of journal articles. It does not deal with the 'how' of academic writing in general. This book endeavours to shed light on the path one must take to navigate the jungles of academia. This is an untrodden path which is unique to every researcher - especially those who employ abstract or critical theories in their research - and each journey through the jungle is different. However, because there is little literature about this embryonic journey, this book illuminates the processes and difficulties of publishing in journals and culling one's finely honed thesis into small chunks - a difficult task to which few admit.

by Javier UrraUna obra gratificante y reveladora que cuestiona nuestra capacidad para aventurarnos, para arriesgar, para apurar la existencia y descubrir qué legado dejaremos al otro y qué decisiones estamos dispuestos a tomar para conseguir lo que anhelamos todos: vivir con intensidad. Javier Urra nos ofrece en ¿Qué se le puede pedir a la vida? una serie de emotivas palabras, historias, leyendas, referencias, ideas, que son muestra de la vida vivida, de la vida buscada, y establece con el lector una conversación sincera y sencilla que apela directamente a la búsqueda de las fuerzas y de las razones para vivir, porque solo disfrutaremos de nuestra existencia si somos capaces de contemplar el paso del tiempo como un regalo y de asumir los días como una oportunidad de reinventarnos y de sonreír. «A la vida se le puede pedir no más de lo que pueda dar: instantes de ternura, de enamoramiento, sorpresas, nostalgia y esperanza. Segundosde lucidez, momentos para disfrutar de la belleza, de la amistad, de las lágrimas y de las pasiones. Momentos que merezcan la pena.»Javier Urra Reseñas:«Javier Urra pone su extraordinaria experiencia profesional y su calidad humana al servicio de algo revolucionario: indicarnos los caminos que nos conduzcan a ser nosotros mismos, potenciando al máximo nuestras posibilidades para que podamos llamar vida a la vida.»Concha García Campoy «No se puede vivir a la expectativa, sin la aventura de la propia experiencia.

¿Qué tan valiente eres para ser feliz?: Guía para realizarlo
by Terry GuindiLa felicidad es un camino, y lo que nos impide vivir así es el miedo. Este libro explica paso a paso, siguiendo la línea de los bestsellers anteriores de la autora, cómo hacer que la felicidad se convierta en tu camino de vida y que tus miedos se desvanezcan. ¿Qué tan valiente eres para ser feliz? es una guía que te lleva de la mano al lector dándole herramientas para identificar las creencias limitantes que subyacen el subconsciente y que una vez que se traen a la luz se pueden transformar para abrazar un nuevo modo de vida. No hay libro de autoayuda, curso o conferencia capaz de aportar algo cuando al receptor los mensajes (que recibe con tedio y escepticismo) le parecen impuestos. Para romper esa barrera, la autora ofrece en las páginas de este libro historias de éxito de decenas de personas que (en gran medida gracias a sus conferencias y libros anteriores) han logrado superar sus miedos y abrazar una existencia libre de miedos y fracasos autoimpuestos. La intención del libro, en breve, es atrapar al lector por medio de vivencias cotidianas y universales que le permitan conectarse con sus sentimientos más profundos y con el mago interno que todos llevamos dentro. Además de fungir como una guía, el libro es un reto para cualquiera que quiera, de una buena vez por todas, darle a su vida esa vuelta de tuerca que necesita. Los temores y la inseguridad son fantasmas de los que todos estamos rodeados, capaces de ensombrecer la existencia de cualquiera: no sólo le tememos a lo que somos y nos dejamos empequeñecer por lo que algún día fuimos: en el fondo, anidan en nosotros los miedos productos de la incertidumbre de lo que el día de mañana llegaremos (o no) a ser. En este libro, la autora demuestra que el momento de tomar las riendas de nuestra propia vida es impostergable, y que ha llegado el momento de tomar el lugar del piloto para que alguien más tome el del copiloto. La conciencia individual lleva a la colectiva. Terry Guindi ha comprobado con su bestseller Los secretos detrás del secreto que tiene decenas de lectores que la siguen día a día queriendo salir de sus zonas de confort y tomar el riesgo de una aventura que vale la pena.

Quirk: Brain Science Makes Sense of Your Peculiar Personality
by Hannah HolmesWho are you? It's the most fundamental of human questions. Are you the type of person who tilts at windmills, or the one who prefers to view them from the comfort of an air-conditioned motorcoach? Our personalities are endlessly fascinating--not just to ourselves but also to our spouses, our parents, our children, our co-workers, our neighbors. As a highly social species, humans have to navigate among an astonishing variety of personalities. But how did all these different permutations come about? And what purpose do they serve? With her trademark wit and sly humor, Hannah Holmes takes readers into the amazing world of personality and modern brain science. Using the Five Factor Model, which slices temperaments into the major factors (Extraversion, Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness) and minor facets (such as impulsive, artistic, or cautious), Holmes demonstrates how our genes and brains dictate which factors and facets each of us displays. Are you a Nervous Nelly? Your amygdala is probably calling the shots. Hyperactive Hal? It's all about the dopamine. Each facet took root deep in the evolution of life on Earth, with Nature allowing enough personal variation to see a species through good times and bad. Just as there are introverted and extroverted people, there are introverted and extroverted mice, and even starfish. In fact, the personality genes we share with mice make them invaluable models for the study of disorders like depression, schizophrenia, and anxiety. Thus it is deep and ancient biases that guide your dealings with a very modern world. Your personality helps to determine the political party you support, the car you drive, the way you eat M&Ms, and the likelihood that you'll cheat on your spouse. Drawing on data from top research laboratories, the lives of her eccentric friends, the conflicts that plague her own household, and even the habits of her two pet mice, Hannah Holmes summarizes the factors that shape you. And what she proves is that it does take all kinds. Even the most irksome and trying personality you've ever encountered contributes to the diversity of our species. And diversity is the key to our survival.
The Quotable Krishnamurti
by Robert EpsteinTruth is a pathless land; you cannot approach it by any religion. . . . My only concern is to set men absolutely free. So said Jiddu Krishnamurti, one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the twentieth century. Born in India in 1905, as a teenager he was groomed by Theosophists C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant to become the next World Teacher. Yet later he broke from his mentors, refusing to play the messiah. For decades he traveled the globe, urging his followers to pursue their own, individual freedom without dependence on any doctrine. Hence this book's guiding purpose. Author Robert Epstein culls key quotations from Krishnamurti's Commentaries on Living and other works. Conveniently organized from A to Z, topics range from acceptance and anger to consciousness, fear, fulfillment, God, hope, joy, love, nonviolence, reincarnation, relationship, self-understanding, sex, suffering, vegetarianism, war, and wisdom. "You are the world, and the world is you," said Krishnamurti. "If there is a radical transformation in the structure of an individual's psyche, it will affect the whole consciousness of man." This small jewel of a book contains enormous power to inspire readers to just such a change.
R. T. Kendall: Total Forgiveness, Totally Forgiving Ourselves, Totally Forgiving God
by R.T. Kendall'If I could have only one of R. T.'s books, this would be my choice. There is no more important message for the church today' Rob Parsons'Few recently published books have made a greater impression on me than R. T. Kendall's Total Forgiveness,' writes Robin Eames. 'I have found so much in his words to challenge my own thinking and work. His Bible-centred approach is matched by the realism of how individuals have tried to face up to loss, distress and frustration.'No sin or action is unforgivable, says R. T., and we are called to keep no record of wrongs, to refuse to punish those who have hurt us, to show mercy and to avoid any form of bitterness. This bundle looks at the theme of forgiveness which stands at the heart of the Christian faith. A radical message for a divided world.
