The Power of Divine Eros: The Illuminating Force of Love in Everyday Life
by A. H. Almaas Karen JohnsonWhat do desire and passion have to do with our spiritual journey? According to A. H. Almaas and Karen Johnson, they are an essential part of it. Conventional wisdom cautions that desire and passion are opposed to the spiritual path--that engaging in desire will take you more into the world, into egoic life. And for most people, that is exactly what happens. We naturally tend to experience wanting in a self-centered way. The Power of Divine Eros challenges the view that the divine and the erotic are separate. When we open to the energy, aliveness, spontaneity, and zest of erotic love, we will find it inseparable from the realm of the holy and sacred. When this is understood, desire and passion become a gateway to wholeness and to realizing our full potential. The authors reveal how our relationships become opportunities on the spiritual journey to express ourselves authentically, to relate with openness, and to discover dynamic inner realms with another person. Through embodying the energy of eros, each of us can learn to be fully real and alive in all of our interactions.
The Power of Emotion: Using Your Emotional Energy to Transform Your Life
by Michael SkyAn original model of the nature and workings of emotions.• Shows how to both unleash and harness the power of emotions to promote physical health, mental clarity, creativity, and more satisfying relationships.• Offers easy-to-follow breathing exercises that allow readers to tap into their reservoirs of vital energy to accomplish their goals.• By the author of Breathing: Expanding Your Power and Energy (25,000 sold).Emotions are the link between body, mind, spirit, and all our relationships, yet as Westerners we have been trained from our earliest years to repress our emotions. In our society, those who appear the least passionate are seen as strong, confident, and mature. In our desire to attain this goal, we often suppress our deepest emotions, eventually causing a blockage of energy that leaves us numb and unable to access our authentic feelings. Michael Sky explains that emotions are the vital energy source inside each of us that we can harness and direct in a positive way to promote better physical health, mental clarity, creativity, and more satisfying relationships. He details four simple but potent tools to aid in the productive channeling of powerful emotional energy: active acceptance; dynamic relaxation; conscious, connected breathing; and creative choice. Taken together these tools create a lifestyle that frees suppressed emotional energies and allows for empowered responses. With meditative breathing practices at the end of each chapter and inspirational passages from the teachings of Adi Da, readers will learn to positively experience and develop their emotions while enhancing their creativity and productivity to accomplish their goals.

The Power of Female Friendship
by Paul Dobransky L. A. StamfordA compassionate, practical, and science-based guide to finding friends for life Psychiatrist Paul Dobransky, author of The Secret Psychology of How We Fall in Love, once again looks to the brain, this time to examine the full range of female friendships. A recent study has shown that women have fewer friends than they used to. In the years after college and before children (and even after that), many women find that they have fewer friends, and new ones are harder to make. Taking his three-parts-of-the-brain theory, Dr. Dobransky breaks down the primal codes of friendship that many women aren't even aware of and gives scientifically grounded advice for understanding how to be a better friend and how to cultivate new friendships. Women of all ages who are searching for deeper relationships or are trying to break free of a toxic friendship will find help and hope in this enlightening and prescriptive exploration of how the brain makes friends.
The Power of Fifty Bits
by Bob NeaseEven with the very best of intentions, people often fail to make wise choices for themselves--whether for their health, their finances, or their business decisions. Yet it doesn't have to be that way--thanks to the science behind fifty bits design, a set of principles that helps close the gap between intentions and actual behaviors.Of the ten million bits of information our brains process each second, only fifty bits are devoted to conscious thought. This means that humans are wired for inattention and inertia, so we often choose without thinking and act against our own interests. Understanding this is the key to any behavior change, from increasing charitable donations to reducing unintended pregnancies.As the former chief scientist of Express Scripts, a Fortune 25 health care company, Bob Nease is an expert on applying behavioral sciences to the health care industry. He realized that providing financial incentives and tools--an approach that assumes patients will act rationally--was not having the outcome that he expected. Instead, he had to reengineer patients' environments in order for their natural inclinations to lead them to the best decisions. In a nod to the brain's fundamental cognitive limitation, he called this approach "fifty bits design," and now he applies his knowledge to the wider world, offering important, practical solutions that marketers, human resources professionals, teachers, and even parents can use to improve the behavior of others around them and get the positive results they want.Nease offers a set of powerful and effective strategies for change:* Require Choice: compel people to deliberately choose among options* Lock In Good Intentions: allow people to make decisions today about choices they will face in the future* Let It Ride: set the default to the desired option and let people opt out if they wish* Get in the Flow: home in on where people's attention is likely to go naturally* Reframe the Choices: set the framework people use to consider options and choices* Piggyback It: connect the desired choice or behavior with something people already like or are engaged in* Simplify...Wisely: make the right choices frictionless and easy; make the wrong choices more difficultThe Power of Fifty Bits is the first how-to guide that provides step-by-step instructions for helping customers, employees, co-workers, and clients get the results they truly want.Advance Praise for The Power of Fifty Bits"In many ways, this book is yet another one of Bob's cleverly engineered systems, expertly designed to hook you with an enigmatic title, hold you with delightful stories and deep ideas, and ultimately leave you better than you were before--wiser about people in general, and about yourself in particular."--from the foreword by Daniel Gilbert"Want to learn how to design approaches that spur others to achieve their goals--and that do the same for you and your own goals? With clarity, eloquence, and humor, The Power of Fifty Bits shows you how."--Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence"If you want to understand how the environment you live in can be reshaped so that your intuitions, fears, hopes, and dreams can best be managed and aligned with your best intentions, I recommend you read this fun, challenging, and useful book."--Arthur Caplan, professor of bioethics, NYU Langone Medical Center"The Power of Fifty Bits shows you how to produce outcomes that have both high financial effectiveness and high acceptance by employees."--Bob Ihrie, SVP of Compensation and Benefits, Lowe's Companies, Inc."The Power of Fifty Bits is a great resource for creating state-of-the-art programs to promote well-being. Combining evidence for effective behavior change with practical advice, this book will transform your thinking and put you on a path to a much better life."--Helen Darling, strategic advisor, National Business Group on Health"Bob Nease is a pioneer of implementing social science in business and healthcare, and we are lucky to have him share his expertise."--Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational"This book proves ...
The Power of Flexing: How to Use Small Daily Experiments to Create Big Life-Changing Growth
by Susan J. AshfordA leadership and learning expert shows you how to change your behavior, develop soft skills, and achieve personal and professional growth through a series of small experiments she calls “Flexing.” A personnel shift at your organization puts you into a leadership role you don't feel prepared for. Your boss tells you that you seem aloof and unapproachable in client meetings. You need to win the support of the members of a local community group for a project you feel passionate about.Addressing these diverse issues depends on improving your soft skills—such as time management, team building, communication and listening, creative thinking, and problem-solving. But this isn’t as easy as it may seem.Sue Ashford, the chair of the Management and Organizations group at the Ross School of Business, has the solution. In this timely book, she introduces Flexing—a technique individuals, teams, and entire organizations can use to learn, grow, and develop their skills and knowledge with every new project, work assignment, and problem. Flexing empowers you to embrace any challenge and adapt to any change, yielding practical, valuable takeaways that ensure growth.Flexing helps you move ahead when you’re confronted with a new challenge, or simply want to develop a vital skill. It’s a journey that begins with setting a flex goal—stating explicitly what you want to learn and how you want to grow. Once that flex goal is set, you then begin to run experiments, solicit feedback from peers or colleagues, and monitor and tweak your progress on the way to achieving your goal. Flexing can be tailored to each person, allowing you to reflect on your own experiences and incorporate the lessons you learn in the next project you tackle. It’s a growth mindset that will help you become the best version of yourself.Flexing also works with teams and organizations. Ashford teaches small groups and large how to implement flexing to ensure their members are ready for new challenges. With more people moving to remote working full-time and developing new ways of collaborating in teams, this warm and practical guide will help every professional and any organization on the journey to greater effectiveness.

The Power of Four: Leadership Lessons of Crazy Horse
by Joseph M. MarshallIn 1876, the warrior Crazy Horse led a hundred riders in a spectacularly courageous charge against Custer's last stand. What can his example teach us about true leadership today? The best-selling author of The Lakota Way retells the great chief's story to reveal the four principles that made Crazy Horse a dynamic and compassionate leader, not only in battle but in life-lessons that all of us can use, whether we lead or follow.
The Power of Four: Leadership Lessons of Crazy Horse
by Joseph M. MarshallWhat makes a good and true leader—brute power and force? The ability to persuade? Simply holding an influential position? Joseph M. Marshall III, the renowned author of the bestselling The Lakota Way, says no. Reminding us that those who hold public office are first and foremost politicians, and that corporate bigwigs serve the bottom line, Marshall presents us with a different idea of leadership, one drawn from his own Lakota Sioux culture. “True leadership,” he informs us, “is only possible when character is more important than authority.”Marshall III draws inspiration from three names that have resonated powerfully throughout history to develop his unique concept of leadership: Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, and, especially Crazy Horse, whose fascinating life Marshall already chronicled in a biography that Publishers Weekly praised as “vivid and haunting.” Crazy Horse did not teach leadership; he simply demonstrated it, effectively and with compassion. Four factors stand out when looking at him as a leader, and they were the basis of his success:Know yourself. Know your friends. Know the enemy. Lead the way. The Power of Four shows how and why these maxims—and this Native American philosophy of leadership—is not only applicable to today’s world, but desperately needed: why leadership by example is more powerful than authority; and why the selection of leaders also becomes one way of controlling those very same leaders. Marshall will open readers’ eyes and help them discover how to apply a new set of principles and actions to their own lives.

The Power of God's Love: A 31 Day Devotional to Encounter the Father's Greatest Gift
by Charles F. StanleyBelieve it or not, the greatest need people express is for love. People want to know someone loves them and will go to any extreme to find this. They move from relationship to relationship thinking the next person they meet will satisfy. But it never happens. They come up empty-handed--feeling more alone, unloved, and mistreated than ever. There is only one Person who can meet all of your needs, especially the need to be loved, and that is Jesus Christ. The Power of God's Love by Dr. Charles Stanley is a thirty-one day devotional that provides insight into God's love for you. Dr. Stanley writes, "Far too often, we hear about the love of God and think, 'But you don't know what I have done. God could never love me, much less accept me.' The awesome truth is this: God loves you unconditionally. He created you in love, He has a purpose for your life, and He has promised to love you forever. When you give your life to Him, your search for true love is over!"
