    Louise explains that every thought you think and every word you speak is an affirmation. Even your self-talk, your internal dialogue, is a stream of affirmations. You’re affirming and creating your life experiences with every word and thought. Your beliefs are merely habitual thinking patterns that you learned as a child, and many of them work very well for you. But other beliefs may be limiting your ability to create the very things you say you want. You need to pay attention to your thoughts so that you can begin to eliminate the ones creating experiences that you don’t want. As Louise discusses topics such as health, forgiveness, prosperity, creativity, relationships, job success, and self-esteem, you’ll see that affirmations are solutions that will replace whatever problem you might have in a particular area. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to say “I can do it” with confidence, knowing that you’re on your way to the wonderful, joy-filled life you deserve.

    It is the main symptom of what psychiatry calls narcissistic disturbance, a phenomenon far more widespread than it was when Freud and Jung developed their concepts of depth psychology. The lack of commonly held values has contributed to it, but is not its cause. In this in-depth examination, Kathrin Asper, a noted psychotherapist and president of the Swiss Society for Analytical Psychology, addresses the real cause: lack of self-worth as a direct consequence of physical or emotional abandonment during childhood. The wounded inner child lives on in the adult, expressing himself in such symptoms as fear of abandonment, lack of feeling, grandiosity and depression, insufficient awareness of one's own life, disproportionate rage, and unclear needs. However, those suffering from a lack of self-worth tend to forget the early-life incidents that hurt their inner self: the child within suffers, but is mute. To heal the early wounds, we have to get in touch with the inner child and make her talk. In The Abandoned Child Within, Dr. Asper shows how this is accomplished. Using concrete case histories from her own practice, paintings by patients, dreams, fairy tales, and myths, she vividly describes the consequences of abandonment, and ways to unleash the creative powers of the unconscious, which can initiate a healing transformation.

    Quotes from Jim Rohn about many areas of life.

    Using C. G. Jung's idea of discovering a "personal myth," D. Stephenson Bond reflects on the psychology of mythic imagination, as a force in both culture and individual life. He argues that meaning is experienced subjectively through the stirring of imagination and fantasy in the individual, which touches the larger impersonal, archetypal patterns. The book offers hopeful insights into the possibilities of cultural renewal and individual meaning through the restoration of the imagination.

    Our hearts are wanting. What must we do?F?r. William Barry, SJ, believes that God wants an intimate relationship with each one of us—and that the deepest desire of our own hearts is to have an intimate relationship with God. Yet while we pursue this desire and long for its satisfaction, we also resist it—which can lead to a painful stagnancy. How can we move forward?  In God’s Passionate Desire, Fr. Barry serves as our spiritual director, leading us on a series of brief “retreats” to help us understand the foundations of our relationship with God, what threatens it, and how we can continuously move forward into a closer and more meaningful relationship with God. In his warm, conversational style, Barry offers meditations, poses questions, and gently encourages us to respond to God’s immeasurable love by following what is truly in each of our hearts—a longing to love him in return.

    His thoughtful advice clears the path for finding recovery and peace.Newly packaged in a convenient, portable format, Finding Your Strength in Difficult Times can provide comfort anywhere at any time. Users can bring it along in a bag or backpack and dip into it throughout the day to find inspiration and motivation, for problems both large and seemingly small. Includes meditations for anger, loneliness, jealousy, and more.

    Learned helplessness refers to the problems that arise in the wake of uncontrollability. First described in the 1960s among laboratory animals, learned helplessness has since been applied to a variety of human problems entailing inappropriate passivity and demoralization. While learned helplessness is best known as an explanation of depression, studies with both people and animals have mapped out the cognitive and biological aspects. The present volume, written by some of the most widely recognized leaders in the field, summarizes and integrates the theory, research, and application of learned helplessness. Each line of work is evaluated critically in terms of what is and is not known, and future directions are sketched. More generally, psychiatrists and psychologists in various specialties will be interested in the book's argument that a theory emphasizing personal control is of particular interest in the here and now, as individuality and control are such salient cultural topics.

    Theory is closely interwoven with practice and the book draws together real problems and solutions experienced by hundreds of sufferers.

The scenes explain project management from the vantage point of David Michaels, a young executive working for a private zoo. He must manage the dismantling of the zoo through to a successful conclusion. He has little idea how to go about such a task until he meets Noah ...

The authors have chosen the setting intentionally to show how anyone in any organization can put the methods and concepts of project management to use. The book also includes a 'model' project manual which can be adapted easily to the reader's own projects. Anyone looking for an enjoyable introduction to the secrets of project management will find it in The Noah Project.

    In this frank, instructive, and heartening personal story, Lillian Grissen tells about the severe depression that she herself experienced. Her pain — mental, emotional, and physical pain — was excruciating, and at first she felt hopelessly trapped in it. But with the help of a gifted Christian psychiatrist, Grissen began to stop blaming herself and to confront the core of her problem — her relationship as a child with her mother. Over a period of five long years — also with her husband's support, her pastor's compassionate counsel, the right combination of therapy and medication, and God's gracious strength — Grissen gradually climbed out of the pit of her depression. One noteworthy feature of this courageous narrative is that is describes honestly (but without bitterness) a very flawed mother- daughter relationship in a Christian family, showing how bad seeds that parents plant in their children can have devastating results years later. Grissen's story also clearly demonstrates that psychiatry and spiritual counseling are not incompatible but are both needed for the healing of Christians suffering from depression. Her Path through the Sea will engage and encourage many who suffer from depression as well as those who care about them.
