For the twenty-five-plus years I have been a speaker, trainer, coach, consultant and mentor, I have had the pleasure of working with people who have achieved tremendous success in their business and their personal lives. In fact, they're often the same people. This book evolved out of Essential Empowerment Paint Your New Life Canvas Workshops where participants closely examine their immediate life state, then define, refine and articulate their vision for their future. Workshop exercises begin and end with life canvases - personal artful expressions of current being and future being. You'll see a few of those personal artful expression scattered throughout the book. Those personal canvases and the aggregate exercises, here and in the classroom, are integral parts of the process of personal development. Your first thought will be to put that piece of the book aside until after you've read through and evaluated every chapter. Don't dismiss their value. Some words used to describe canvases have been: insightful, enlightening, cathartic, and even illuminating. Indulge me ... no, don't indulge me. Do it for you. Become a participant in the progress of your life. Embrace your journey to Essential Empowerment. I hope to see you at an Essential Empowerment Paint Your New Life Canvas Workshop one day. In the meantime ... read on and paint your new life canvas!

"We are professionals. Though not specifically professionals in the field of 'psychology' or 'psychiatry, ' we are both highly paid actors and comedians, and as such know more about neuroses than you could possibly imagine. . . ." If you're tired of following the rules, dating people from Mars and Venus, gorging on chicken soup for your soul, or getting lost on a road less traveled, then it's time you listened to Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo, two people who actually sweat the small stuff . . . because, let's face it, if your body doesn't sweat, it dies--much like Ben and Janeane's train wreck of a relationship many years ago. From that experience came wisdom and self-reproachment. Now, in Feel This Book, they tackle the tough questions: - Is love necessary? - How can I make money off my spouse? - Compassion--is it overrated? - Why can't I sleep around and still love you? - How many times have you told your significant other that you would pick up something for dinner on your way home from the office, and next thing you knew you're at an all-night eatery with some hermaphrodite you found on the strip, having eggs and bacon at three in the morning? Through helpful tips, completely fabricated case studies, the six laws of spiritual success, the fourteen by-laws of spiritual awakening, and the twenty-three addendums and sub-laws regarding anything spiritual and successful, Stiller and Garofalo teach such valuable lessons as: - When it comes to family, grasp onto the blame and don't let go - Make the connection . . . between Deepak and Tupac - Your mother lied; looks are everything, and the sooner you submit and stop denying the inevitable, the happieryou will be - And much more! Feel This Book. Let it be your path, your compass, your sensible shoes, your Frappuccino(R). It's what self-help was meant to be.

This handbook is for nurses needing practical guidance in clinical situations, either as an aide memoire for the specialist nurse, or an essential reference source for newly qualified nurses caring for people with neurological problems for the first time.

The Treasury of Precious Instructions by Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Taye, one of Tibet's greatest Buddhist masters, is a shining jewel of Tibetan literature, presenting essential teachings from the entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet.

In three parts, this volume includes, respectively: the root text, commentary, and outlines for the Indian mahasiddha Virupa’s core text, the Vajra Verses; the liturgies for empowerment and offering rituals specific to a Hevajra Tantra practice lineage; and instructional manuals for practice.
