Need
to fine tune your communication skills? No matter
how different another person might seem to you,
the
Art of
Connecting
will provide you with the essentials on finding a
point of similarity with anyone so that you may
make a real connection. No longer will you let the
subtle clues fly by; connections with now be
something to build upon. Drawing
wisdom from playgrounds of his youth, where Kevin
Carroll spent hours sharpening his mind and body,
the Rules
of the Red Rubber
Ball
shares with you how to achieve maximum potential
through the power of passion and creativity.
Finding your own red rubber ball and chasing
it to your heart's content is the surest route to
peace, prosperity and happiness. How
do I live a happy, meaningful and flourishing life?
How can I be both a noble and effective person?
Answering these bedrock questions was the
single-minded passion of Epictetus, the venerable
philosopher who was born a slave about A.D. 55 in
the eastern outreaches of the Roman Empire. Both of
his works, The
Art of Living
and A
Manual for
Living
(a condensed version) provide a day-by-day,
down-to-earth life of virtue. "Excitement
wears orange socks, faith lives in the same
apartment building as doubt…" The
Book of
Qualities
challenges you to look at your emotions and unique
character in new and inspiring ways. Do
you need a whack on the side of the head... or
maybe just a kick in the pants? Then indulge in
Roger von Oech's Creative
Whack Pack,
a deck of cards that provide a brief story,
hint, or insight that will keep your mind spinning
for days to come. How
many times have you talked yourself out of
something because of self-sabotaging fears?
Feel
the Fear and Do It
Anyway
will teach you to push past the negative chatter in
your head, risk a little everyday, and turn every
decision into a "no-lose" situation. Based
on the Myers-Briggs personality test,
Lifetypes
gives you the tools to develop your psychological
self-portrait. After completing a series of
questions (which is great fun with a group of
friends), your "lifetype" emerges. The book then
provides you with examples of each personality type
as it relates to careers, relationships, and
recreational activities that you should choose or
avoid—and how to get the most out of your
life by gaining a better understanding of
yourself. Wouldn't
it be nice to live a happier, more successful, and
more peaceful life? Happiness
is a Choice
is about believing in ourselves, having a positive
attitude, and being hopeful about the events that
shape our lives. And after reading Barry Kaufman's
book, you might also want to take part in one of
the many educational programs he (and his "happy"
staff) offer through The
Option
Institute.
Whether you want to improve the quality of your
life or overcome a challenging adversity, the
program will help you actively explore a new way to
live your life. Stroll

Buscaglia has to be one of my all-time favorite
authors. His writings teach us to be human - to be
who we are and what we feel; and how we can learn
to be loving individuals and get the most out of
life through love. Known for getting his students
to hug trees (and each other) at the University of
Southern California while teaching a class on love,
Dr. Buscaglia will guide you to new levels of
happiness (on this fantastic journey we're all on).
Love
and Living,
Loving, and
Learning
are my favorites. Self-doubt
and negative thoughts seems to be the most
devastating handicap for many. But it doesn't have
to be this way—and The
Power of Positive
Thinking
will help you to climb above those old habits and
unleash your true potential. Dr. Vincent Peale
offers powerful tips, prayerful exercises, and
filling your mind full of God each day to
positively master those challenges of everyday
living. For stories of inspiration, hope, personal
change and healthy living, turn to Guideposts.com. The
7 Habits of Highly Effective
People
provides a step-by-step pathway for living,
principles that give us the security to adapt to
change, and the wisdom and power to take advantage
of the opportunities that change
creates. |
