Exciting tales of searches that end in happiness -- and are still continuing.

The Universal Story: Life has a way of catching us off guard, turning our world upside down or even shattering it in a second. We react ony to find ourselves in the same "old pit" again. Now what? Waking Up: Discover your hidden strategies and reveal your (W)holeness. A different WAY: You are the expert! All you need is the Wisdom Map. An invitation: Read this and experience surprising relief and potent aliveness.

Ph.D., contributing author to Transforming Terror: Reclaiming the World Soul. Alaya confirms what we've long feared: it's a near impossible journey to complete with only a partial understanding of how one integrates psyche and soul. Here, in the hands of this storyteller, therapist-minister extraordinaire, we find what we've longed for. - Sunny Shulkin, LCSW, BCD, Master Trainer of Harville Hendrix's Imago Relationship Therapy, co-author with Pat Love of the book How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Relationship.

The much needed message of this book is that spiritual practice is not something mysterious or alien to ordinary existence. Neither is it defined by difficult exercises or maintained by unruffled tranquility. Waking to Ordinary Life speaks directly to the false presumption that our relationship to the Divine, to Spirit, somehow precludes a simple life based in human maturity, dignity and kindness toward others. It casts unrelenting light on how clear-cut spiritual practice actually is, if only we have the courage to choose it. This courage, the author states, means squarely facing the unconscious or destructive habits we've used since childhood to keep us comforted, and to get us through the day. Lalitha challenges and guides her readers in how to work with this denial mechanism, and how to pay attention to the body's innate wisdom which consistently signals us, yet is consistently overridden. We do know what serves, she says, once we admit to lying to ourselves; we can take greater responsibility for what is…both at the personal and planetary level. "We can grow up!” she exclaims, demonstrating what this means for the practitioner on any spiritual path. Waking to Ordinary Life is derived from recent talks and conversations Lalitha has held with her students and those interested in spiritual practice, making its message fresh, accessible and real. Her many examples bypass heady concepts and pretty words, and bring the reader down to earth where messy relationships, greed and cancer must be handled. She speaks with compassion, yet is categorically unwilling to compromise the demands of committed, unsentimental work on self. Topics include: the necessity for articulating an aim, which may then be applied as a guiding principle in all one's endeavors; the power of genuine forgiveness; the urgency inspired in the face of death, and the experience of delight in ordinary life. Overall, the book emphasizes that merely understanding the nature of mind, and how mind creates neurosis, does not dispel the neurosis. For that, consistent, accurately-directed effort (i.e., practice) is required. Paradoxically, the author asserts that such effort may actually consist in relaxing, especially the habits of self-hatred. Her wise counsel encourages simple daily practice for the purpose of infusing this knowledge into the body, and thus affecting one's behavior on every level. The bottom line is to rest in the unadorned truth. Waking to Ordinary Life points the way.

Get It! is a unique program designed to assist young adults, 16-23, in becoming active participants in creating their Perfect Life. Get It! begins with the belief that every youth is a unique, special person who was intended to have a happy, wonderful life. Unfortunately, too many young adults have given too little thought to their lives. And we all know what the result of that could be: a life of quiet desperation, marked by frustration, disappointment and failure. But it doesn't have to be that way. We have designed Get It! to guide students in learning who they are and what their passions are. From there, we walk them through the process of turning those passions into smart choices for their lives. While we use career as a vehicle for that discussion, this is also about learning to manage relationships, hobbies and all of life. In short, our hope is that Get It! will help this next generation become smarter sooner so that they can enjoy their Perfect Life by choice, not by chance.

In this one-of-a-kind dream guide, certified hypnotherapist and former psychology professor Dr. Janece O. Hudson helps you figure out what "your" unique dreams really mean for "you." (Unlike typical dream dictionaries where one size fits all!)

People destined for success can still escape their destiny. The process is not difficult, and the tragedy is not rare. All the elements are in place, yet they cannot live to their fullest potential. The secret is to live in the now. It is not enough to be alive; we must live in the present moment, or hopes and dreams may never materialize. Living "in the now" means more than getting up every day to push back the curtains of possibility. It means, also, that we realize and appreciate everything in our lives, so that life becomes more real, more precious, and more rewarding. "Feel the water on your hands while you are doing dishes," says Steven E. "Feel the wind on your face. Stop to look at the faces of your children while they play; concentrate on their joy and their energy. That's the now; that's what is real, and that's where life takes place."

Co-compiler Lee Beard describes it as "the engine that drives over obstacles and once-inpenetrable barriers."

It comes as if in a dream; it hits you when you least expect it. It is the culmination of study, or the result of crisis and fear. It is your Wake Up Moment. Inspirational speaker and teacher Steven E experienced his Wake Up Moment as a young man. The result was not an instant success story. What followed was years of hard work and occasional disappointment, but it was always accompanied by the sure knowledge that this was the right path for him. Dozens of like-minded coaches, teachers and entrepreneurs joined him on the pages of Wake Up Moments. Now, several business leaders, mentors and counselors have come together to examine the vital moment of personal epiphany in Wake Up Moments of Inspiration. Includes chapters by Dr. Wayne Dyer, Ernie Hudson, Zachery Levi, Liz Vassey and Brian Tracy.
