Being In Balance
Buy on Amazon
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
In this inspirational work, best-selling author and lecturer Wayne W.
Dyer shows you how to restore balance in your life by offering nine
Principles for realigning your thoughts so that they correspond to your
Highest desires. Imagine a balance scale with one end weighted down
to the ground, and the other end—featuring the objects of your
Desires—sticking up precariously in the air. This scale is a measurement
of your thoughts. To restore the same balance that characterizes
everything in our universe, you have to take up the weighty thoughts so
that they match up to your desires.
The seasons reflect the overall harmony of life. For example, winter
passes and the blossoms emerge. This is balanced by a need to have
the trees rest, so autumn arrives on time and helps the trees ready
themselves for another period of repose. This book is dedicated to the
idea that we’re a vital component of this creative process and have
Within ourselves the wherewithal to create all that we want if we
recognize and revise out-of-balance thoughts.

Thoughts Are Things
Buy on Amazon
Prentice Mulford
Prentice Mulford was one of the leaders of the New Thought Movement.
Thoughts are Things will help you to use the power of your thoughts to
improve your life and to bring yourself the peace of mind you've always
wished for. Learn how to think in a way that will help you succeed and
make you happier in every aspect of your life!
AMAZON EDITOR’S REVIEW
Prentice Mulford wrote this book in 1889, long before more well-known,
contemporary authors began writing about the power of thought. Despite
being over 100 years old, this is a powerful book on thought. Mulford
explains we have, in effect, two minds: the mind of the body and the mind of
the spirit. The mind of the body is limited and fights change. It thinks things
must always be the way they've always been. The mind of the spirit trusts in
the Supreme Power which made all things and knows that anything is
possible if you believe.

Make It Count
Buy on Amazon
John Kotre, Ph.D
The key to overcoming the obstacles that get in the way of finding
fulfillment in adulthood is to shape a legacy that will last beyond our
lifetimes.
Expanding upon the psychological phenomenon of "generativity" -- a term
Erik Erikson first coined fifty years ago to explain how individuals create
forms of life and work or legacies that live on after their deaths -- Kotre
shows us how to cultivate a desire to impact future generations. Building a
solid business or developing a new idea can be as vital as raising children or
sharing our wisdom with young ones -- and for each of us, finding the kind of
generativity that is right is half the challenge.
Kotre clearly outlines a step-by-step pathway we will move along to a more
complete and fulfilling life. By listening to the past, finding a voice, and
selecting an audience, we will be able to create and grow.

Family Wealth
Buy on Amazon
Buy on Amazon
The landmark book that
changed the way exceptional
families think about their heritage,
their wealth, and their legacy to
future generations--now revised
and expanded.
Every family, looking at the next generation, hopes to confer advantages that
are more than just material and financial--to inculcate character and leadership,
to inspire creativity and enterprise, to help all family members find and follow
their individual callings, and to avoid the financial dependency and loss of
initiative that can all too often be an unwanted consequence of financial
success. Yet many families never succeed in realizing that vision, much less
sustaining it for three, four, or five generations and beyond.

48 Laws of Power

Buy on Amazon
Robert Greene
This amoral, cunning, ruthless,
and instructive book synthesizes the
philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu,
and Carl Von Clausewitz with the
historical legacies of statesmen,
warriors, seducers, and con men throughout the ages.
AMAZON.COM REVIEW
"Learning the game of power requires a certain way of looking at the world, a shifting of
perspective," writes Robert Greene. Mastery of one's emotions and the arts of deception
and indirection are, he goes on to assert, essential. The 48 laws outlined in this book “
have a simple premise: certain actions always increase one's power ... while others
decrease it and even ruin us."
The Art of Power
Thich Nhat Hanh
With colorful anecdotes,
precise language, and
concrete practices, Thich
Nhat Hanh illustrates how the
current understanding of
power leads us on a never-ending search
for external markers like job title or
salary.

Tao Te Ching
Buy on Amazon
Buy on Amazon
Lao Tzu
Written most probably in the
sixth century B.C. by Lao Tsu,
this esoteric but infintely practical
book has been translated into
English more frequently than any
other work except the Bible.
The Tao Te Ching is fundamental to the Taoist school of Chinese philosophy
and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism and
Neo-Confucianism. This ancient book is also central in Chinese religion, not
only for Taoism but Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China
was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts. Many
Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners
have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also
spread widely outside East Asia, aided by hundreds of translations into
Western languages.
