When harnessed, it can serve as a helpful tool for empowered healing. Like the 78 cards, the journey of self-inquiry and personal healing is cyclical. We come to understand ourselves in periods of adversity, reflect and celebrate in periods of light, and have opportunities to be curious and explore the liminal space between trial and error. The Inner Tarot isn't just a book about how to read the cards, it's a guidebook for those ready to embark on a healing journey and who are seeking tools to help them foster their intuition and connect to their sense of purpose. Just like a deck of tarot cards, the book is divided into two parts. Part 1 is a primer, offering high-level information for readers on what tarot cards are, their history, how to read them with confidence, as well as reading as a ritual. Part 2 will guide the reader through individual card interpretations as well as thought-provoking, heart-opening exercises intended to facilitate healing and teach resilience. This book not only teaches the fundamentals of how to read the cards, but also how the cards can support readers in their healing. Readers will have a new approach to self-inquiry, find a new depth in their experience, pride for their personal story, and an empowered approach to their communication.

The Inner Voice of Love: A Journey Through Anguish to Freedom
by Henri J. NouwenA classic, personal work of self-examination from the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son, hailed as &“one of the world&’s greatest spiritual writers&” by Christianity Today This is Henri Nouwen&’s secret journal. It was written during the most difficult period of his life, when he suddenly lost his self-esteem, his energy to live and work, his sense of being loved—even his hope in God. Although he experienced excruciating anguish and despair, he was still able to keep a journal in which he wrote a daily spiritual imperative to himself that emerged from his conversations with friends and supporters. For more than eight years, Nouwen felt that his journal was too raw and private to share with others. Instead, he published The Return of the Prodigal Son to express some of the insights gained during his mental and spiritual crisis. But then friends asked him, &“Why keep your anguish hidden from the many people who have been nurtured by your writing? Wouldn&’t it be a consolation to know about the fierce inner battle that lies underneath your spiritual insights?&” For the countless men and women who live through the pain of broken relationships or suffer from the loss of a loved one, this book about the inner voice of love offers new courage, new hope, and even new life.

InnerFitness: Five Steps to Overcoming Fear and Anxiety While Building Your Self-Worth
by Nordine ZouaregThe goal to improving one's life begins internally. By addressing the quality of your mental state—whether fear, doubt, anxiety, depression—you can achieve a positive self-worth and improve your quality of life. It all begins with you! All of us, at one point in our lives, have wondered if we are able to make the decisions or choices that will turn our lives around. Can I begin that work project I have been putting off? What about the diet that will help me lose weight and get healthy? Can I salvage the marriage that&’s ripping at the seams? What do I do after losing my job? The hardest part can be taking that first step toward such a goal, and the fear can be overpowering. That is the goal of InnerFitness. Former Mr. Universe, Nordine Zouareg, learned that while his outer self was chiseled out of stone, his inner self was crumbling. Rather than giving up, Nordine looked back on his life and actively reflected on the emotions that affected who he had become. From that point forward, his goal was not only to improve the quality of his life, but that of others. During such self-exploration, he noted five key issues to personal improvement. They are: self-worthtrusttranquilitybodydesire to fight By exposing these five basic issues which hold us back, Nordine shows how to be empowered, have emotional clarity, and consistently choose freedom over fear, success over self-sabotage, confidence over insecurity, and courage over passivity. In essence, retraining your brain from &“I&’m not enough&” to &“I&’m good enough.&”InnerFitness explains how to manage your inner voice—the one which tells us we&’re not good enough, that we cannot succeed. By taking such steps, like celebrating victories (large or small) and seeing failures only as temporary and instructional, you will be on a path to loving yourself for who you are…which is the first step to a happier life.

Innocència radical
by Elsa PunsetLa vida a la recerca de passió i de sentit. Naixem innocents. Sense emocions confuses, sense dubtes, sense pors, sense mentides. Arribem per descobrir, per compartir, plans, lluminosos i coherents. Vulnerables, però encara oberts al món, animats per una curiositat rotunda i radical, dotats de la passió per viure. És aleshores quan comença la recerca del sentit en una realitat diària de llums i d'ombres on ens assalten l'amor, la por, la tristesa o la temptació. La manera com ens encarem amb aquestes etapes crucials, des de la innocència o des de la rigidesa, determinarà el teixit de la nostra existència, de cada emoció, de cada gest, de cada pensament. Elsa Punset, autora de Brúixola per a navegants emocionals, ens descobreix a Innocència Radical per què perdem la confiança i la curiositat inicial apassionades, per què cerquem un recer en la concessió i en la tristesa. I ens encoratja a treure profit de la nostra capacitat innata per estimar i per transformar, a trobar les vies per les quals flueixin la nostra creativitat i la nostra energia mitjançant els paranys i els dons que ens aguaiten als espais on viu, o mor, dia a dia, la nostra innocència primigènia i radical.

The Innovative Entrepreneur
by Daniel F. SpulberInnovative entrepreneurs are the prime movers of the economy. The innovative entrepreneur helps to overcome two types of institutional friction. First, existing firms may not innovate efficiently due to incumbent inertia resulting from adjustment costs, diversification costs, the replacement effect, and imperfect adjustment of expectations. The innovative entrepreneur compensates for incumbent inertia by embodying innovations in new firms that compete with incumbents. Second, markets for inventions may not operate efficiently due to transaction costs, imperfect intellectual property protections, costs of transferring tacit knowledge, and imperfect information about discoveries. The innovative entrepreneur addresses inefficiencies in markets for inventions through own-use of discoveries and adoption of innovative ideas. The Innovative Entrepreneur presents an economic framework that addresses the motivation of the innovative entrepreneur, the innovative advantage of entrepreneurs versus incumbent firms, the effects of competitive pressures on incentives to innovate, the consequences of creative destruction, and the contributions of the innovative entrepreneur to the wealth of nations.
