Book Review:

Have you ever heard the phrase “You spot it, you got it”? In the Self Help movement, this phrase describes the phenomenon of projection. That is, when we become angry at the shortcomings of others—their selfishness, laziness, arrogance, or rudeness—we are, in fact, projecting disowned “shadows.” In The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford shows us how to reclaim our authentic self and confront the traits we most fear in ourselves—our shadows.

ISBN:
0874777925

Book Review:

In The Life We Are Given, George Leonard and Michael Murphy shed light on the Integrative Transformative Practice (ITP), a daily practice they co-created that integrates mind, body, soul, and heart. These pioneers of the human potential movement blended aikido, affirmations, yoga, meditation, guided imagery, and a healthy diet in one approach designed to help people make the most of their potential. At the heart of ITP is the kata, or series of movements, meditation, and mental/spiritual activities to be performed daily, and once weekly in a group setting for even greater benefit. (I participated in weekly ITP classes to great benefit for two years—R.L.) In The Life We Are Given, you’ll learn:
