Gardner includes discussions of global applications, Multiple Intelligences in the workplace, an assessment of Multiple Intelligences practice in the current conservative educational climate, new evidence about brain functioning, and much more.

Clear Body, Clear Mind


L. Ron Hubbard - 2002
    Hundreds of thousands have done this program and live happier, more perceptive and aware lives as a result.   Read the book Clear Body Clear Mind.Purification and Life, by L. Ron Hubbard"We live in a chemical oriented society."One would be hard put to find someone in the present-day civilization who is not affected by this fact. The vast majority of the public is subjected every day to the intake of food preservatives and other chemical poisons including atmospheric poisons, pesticides and the like. Added to this are the pain pills, tranquilizers and other medical drugs used and prescribed by doctors. And we have as well the widespread use of marijuana, LSD, angel dust and other street drugs which contribute heavily to the scene."I have even found that there is such a thing as the 'drug personality.' Drugs can apparently change the attitude of a person from his original personality to one secretly harboring hostilities and hatreds he does not permit to show on the surface. While this possibly is not always the case, it does establish a linkage between drugs and increasing difficulties with crime, production, program execution and the modern breakdown of the social and industrial culture."These factors are all part of the biochemical problem."WHY "PURIFICATION"?"We have known since 1968 that it is a mistake to try to do mental and spiritual handling on somebody who has been on drugs. People who have been on drugs do not make case gain* until the drugs are handled."In 1977, I stated that LSD apparently stays in the system, lodging in the tissues and mainly the fatty tissues of the body and is liable to go into action again, giving the person unpredictable 'trips.'"From the most recent research developments, it now appears that: Not only LSD but other chemical poisons and toxins, preservatives, pesticides, etc, as well as medical drugs and the long list of heavy street drugs (angel dust, heroin, marijuana, etc.) can lodge in the tissues and remain in the body for years."Even medicinal drugs such as diet pills, codeine, novocaine and others have gone into 'restim' [restimulation] years after they were taken and had supposedly been eliminated from the body."Thus it seems that any or all of these hostile biochemical substances can get caught up in the tissues and their accumulation probably disarranges the biochemistry and fluid balance of the body."Drug residues can stop any mental health. They also stop a person's life!"The removal of these life-hostile chemical substances from the body of any person apparently speeds, and in some cases even makes possible, case gain. It is even worth doing for its own sake."The Purification Rundown, therefore, is for anyone."—L. Ron HubbardFind out exactly what the Purification® Program can do for YOU.

Escaping the Prison of the Intellect: A Journey from Here to Here


Deepak Chopra - 1994
    Here he offers compelling answers to the eternal questions of identity, origin, and meaning. Chopra’s thesis is that people rely on their senses to define their experience of reality — limiting their experience of the material world and making them prisoners, out of touch with realities that lie beyond the material. He explains that there is no difference between observer and observed; it is all one shared experience. Realizing this truth, says Chopra, frees people from their sensory-created prison to experience a more nurturing and fulfilling life. The author’s calm, uplifting voice gives these ideas heft and power, and his inclusion of relaxed guitar interludes let listeners pause to contemplate more deeply. Chopra expands the discussion by citing T. S. Eliot, Nietzsche, Rumi, Tagore, and Patanjali, as well as scientific experiments and spiritual texts.

The Unlimited Self: Destroy Limiting Beliefs, Uncover Inner Greatness, and Live the Good Life


Jonathan Heston - 2015
     Every one of them wants things better… They feel lost in a desert. Almost like they were born at the wrong time in history. Whenever they step outside of their comfort zone to expand their life, they face fear, lower self esteem and diminishing confidence. In other words - they face their own limiting beliefs. They want to make money doing something meaningful with their lives…but they keep showing up at a job or have a business that leeches their life and energy. They want better intimacy…but they don’t know the skillsets and mindsets to keep the fire alive with their lover. They want to be a great parent…but when they spend time with their kids, they are only half engaged. They want to feel strong, alive and vibrant – but they feel so overwhelmed and busy with all the other areas of life, they continually let their health slip. 
They want to follow their passion…but they don’t have a freaking clue what they are even passionate about. They don’t even know why they are here. At the end of it all…everyone knows inside that they are called to greatness… To live an epic life… To have no regrets… To leave a legacy to be proud of… But even with everyone having this fire of greatness within… Most aren’t even close to where they imagined or dreamed they would be in life… Why? Because schools and our parents didn’t know how to show us the mindsets and skillsets to destroy the limiting beliefs and internal self sabatoge patterns that all of us face when we decide to live anything more than an average life. You can have your dream…but if your internal beliefs don’t believe it’s possible. It isn’t. 
Lots of people still debate what success means. How about this. Success is when someone is willing to not just dream about becoming great…but take responsibility for making it happen. Success is doing the INNER work that is necessary to move past the hidden “blocks” that keep you from creating your dreams.

So the question is simply this. Are you ready to seize your greatness and not let go? Are you are ready for the mindsets and skillets that allow you to destroy ANY limiting belief that is holding you back from your greatness? If so… THE UNLIMITED LIFE is for you.

Flight Plan: The Real Secret of Success


Brian Tracy - 2008
    Using the metaphor of an airplane trip from coast to coast, Flight Plan shows that the real secret to success is to first figure out your destination -- where you want to go -- and lock in on it. Second, you must take off--identify precisely what you must do to achieve the goals you have set for yourself and take action. And third, you must persist through the inevitable challenges and setbacks--by making continual course corrections--until you reach your destination. Tracy observes that any airplane, headed for any destination, will be off course 99 percent of the time because of air turbulence. But, by locking in on its destination, taking off, and making continual course corrections, the plane will arrive as scheduled. The same is true of people's journey through life.
