The Conative Connection: Uncovering the Link Between Who You Are and How You Perform
by Kathy KolbeKolbe identifies four modes of action, which each individual has in varying amounts. You use each mode at least some of the time, but you probably use one or more primarily and avoid another. Are you predominantly a Fact Finder, careful to research a problem before responding? Or are you a Follow Thru, for whom systems are the answer? Perhaps you're a Quick Start, spontaneous and innovative in your solutions. Or an Implementor, relishing demonstration and tangible results. You don't have to change the way you are to improve your performance. Kolbe shows you how to predict what you and other people will and won't do.
The Counterfeit Christ of the New Age Movement
by Ron RhodesLike the apostle Paul, Christianity has always stood on Mars Hill between the Epicureans and the Stoics, between atheism and pantheism. Today, they would be called Secular Humanists and New Agers. The first is a materialist, insisting that everything is reducible to matter. The latter are mystics, reducing all to mind or spirit. The former believe there is no God at all, and the latter claim that God is all and that all is God. Both are deadly enemies of Christianity, which confesses that God is the creator of all. At different times in history, one or the other of these enemies of the Christian faith has been the greater threat. Currently, the dominant move in our culture is away from the Epicureans to the Stoics, away from Secular Humanism to the New Age. As Harvey Cox put it in the title of his book, there is a "Turn East." Most Christians are ill-equipped to handle this new trend. We have become accustomed to responding to atheists, who do not believe in God, Christ, the soul, prayer, and life after death. But what about New Agers, who claim to believe in all of these? Of course, beneath their common terminology is an entirely different theology. This is the deceptive nature of the New Age and the need for more careful Christian scrutiny. To date, much of the Christian response to the New Age threat has been popular and even sensational. What has been needed is something more theological and biblical. In this excellent book by Ron Rhodes we have one of the first comprehensive, biblical, and critical responses to the core of New Age error. By centering on the New Age view of Christ, this book at once exposes the heretical nature of New Age teaching as well as highlights the central teaching of Christianity, the unique person and work of Jesus Christ, the God-Man. To be sure, there are more dimensions to New Age teaching than its view of Christ, but there are none more important. Furthermore, by centering on Christology, Rhodes is able to relate many of the other New Age teachings to this essential core doctrine. This book is by far the most comprehensive, biblical, and scholarly critique of any central New Age teaching available today.

Depth Psychology and a New Ethic
by Erich Neumann C. G. Jung Gerhard Adler James Yandell Micha NeumannThe modern world has witnessed a dramatic breakthrough of the dark, negative forces of human nature. The "old ethic," which pursued an illusory perfection by repressing the dark side, has lost its power to deal with contemporary problems. Erich Neumann was convinced that the deadliest peril now confronting humanity lay in the "scapegoat" psychology associated with the old ethic. We are in the grip of this psychology when we project our own dark shadow onto an individual or group identified as our "enemy," failing to see it in ourselves. The only effective alternative to this dangerous shadow projection is shadow recognition, acknowledgement, and integration into the totality of the self. Wholeness, not perfection, is the goal of the new ethic.

Empty Harvest: Understanding the Link Between Our Food, Our Immunity, and Our Planet
by Bernard Jensen Mark AndersonEmpty Harvest puts together a sober picture of how interconnected man is to the earth, and how this connection is being destroyed. But the book also offers a wide range of practical, long-term solutions that are still available to us.
Empty Harvest
by Dr Bernard JensenNearly twenty years after its initial publication, Dr. Bernard Jensen's sobering picture of just how interconnected man is with the earth, and how this connection is being destroyed - link by link - still resonates powerfully. In this eye-opening account of the inherent dangers in our agricultural system, Jensen looks at the better-known manmade disasters, such as the greenhouse effect, as well as the ecological and subsequent health related problems hidden from the general public at the time. Empty Harvest is a groundbreaking book that examines just what the total problem was and still is. "In a day when it is cheap and easy to be a doomsday prophet, Empty Harvest shines like a bright beacon of hope and ecological sanity. While exposing the dire consequences of thinking we can grow healthy food with poisons, this excellent book defines positive alternatives, and demonstrates their power to restore us to true health. Empty Harvest lights the way toward living in harmony and happiness with the forces of life." --John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America

Health Economics: An Industrial Organization Perspective
by Xavier Martinez-Giralt Pedro BarrosResearch in Health Economics has developed into a separate discipline for the last 25 years. All this intense research activity, has translated in the inclusion of courses of health economics, mostly at graduate level. However, the Industrial Organization aspects of the health care market do not occupy a central place in those courses. We propose a textbook of health economics whose distinguishing feature is the analysis of the health care market from an Industrial Organization perspective. This textbook will provide teachers and students with a reference to study the market structure aspects of the health care sector. The book is structured in three parts. The first part will present the basic principles of economics. It will bring all readers to the required level of knowledge to follow subsequent parts. Part II will review the main concepts of health economics. The third part will contain the core of the book. It will present the industrial organization analysis of the health care market, based on our own research.

Here is a guide much closer to home that will lead to a refined and renewed spiritual path and help people rediscover their deeper selves-a true connection of the body, mind, and soul. Covering the gamut from Kabbalah, Gnosticism, and Sufism to shamanism, Neopaganism, Theosophy, and mystical Christianity, Hidden Wisdom is the handbook to the Western wisdom traditions. Also included are the teachings of C. G. Jung, G. I. Gurdjieff, Alice Bailey, and Rudolf Steiner. Authors Smoley and Kinney examine the key figures and movements of these traditions throughout history to offer a balanced and coherent view of esoteric Western practices. Accessible to all readers-whether they’re considering membership or long-term practice of any one tradition or teaching or they’re simply curious about their options-this book lends advice on how to find groups and like-minded individuals and how to best avoid possible pitfalls.
