What You Practice Is What You Have: A Guide to Having the Life You Want
by Cheri HuberOur lives are the result of what we practice. For example, if we practice "chasing after money" or "I'm overwhelmed with work" or "things should be different," that's the life experience we will have. Focusing on "something wrong" and "not enough" will create a life of lack or failure. If we want our lives to be different, we must practice the difference we want. To have a different practice we must 1) recognize our current practice, 2) clarify the practice we want instead, and 3) learn to practice moment by moment what we choose. The sequel to Cheri Huber' s perennial best seller There Is Nothing Wrong with You: Going Beyond Self-Hate, this book further exposes with clarity and humor the antics of mental conditioning and self-hate. It introduces the powerful practice of Recording and Listening with tools and techniques to develop the relationship with the Wisdom, Love and Compassion that allow us to transcend self-hate.

Whatever Has Happened Is Justice
by Dada BhagwanThere are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part – or so it seems. Life circumstances can appear terribly unjust. Naturally we question, “Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!, Why do bad things happen to good people?” Added to the many problems in everyday life, these situations can feel like the very definition of suffering. We may conclude that there is no God, question how to get inner peace, and how to live through such trying circumstances. In the book “Whatever Has Happened Is Justice”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dadashri offers spiritual guidance on how to resolve conflict of injustice inherent in life. Dadashri provides profound insight into the law of karma, explaining who is “The Doer”, who is at fault, and what is the cause behind every instance of suffering. To attain an inner state of no worry, to begin to live in peace, or even to learn how to stay healthy amidst life challenges, this book will prove precious.
