Self Help

I love this book and the way it is written, in easy short chapters, with the ultimate goal of making your wish/dream come true. But there is work to do first and that is change yourself, change the world. It is a profound book and I found that by reading each chapter slowly and doing the meditations the changes will come so that you are well and truly prepared for that wish/dream to come true.

I highly recommend this book for all who want to make their dreams and wishes a happening.

There are many books out there on Self Compassion, but none I truly as indepth as Dr Kristin Neff's is. I wondered how hard could it be, to be compassionate to ourselves - it actually turns out to be quite hard indeed. We actually love to beat ourselves up at the first available opportunity, and that's because we are so competitive in this day and age, and with the extra adage of trying to be over and above perfect, no wonder we have difficulty here!

Love at Work is a brilliant self help book on how to connect the head with the heart to bring about a good working atmosphere at work, whilst improving yourself.

Nigel has given us lots of meditations, anecdotes and his personal experiences to show us how to get to the end goal of a well adjusted business with a happy worker!

At the back of the book there are lots of further reading book references, as well as the usual bibliography of books used in the writing of Love at Work.

If you are a non believer of a life after death - this book will give you much food for thought. I like the way Jacky writes in an anecdotal way making it easy for the reader to absorb what is being said especially if you are a believer.

I feel that 'Angels Are Watching Over Me' will bring a lot of comfort to people who are grieving and who are desperate to know that there is a life after death. There is also a how to make contact with relatives and friends as well, through meditation and visualisation.

Some people may feel that RT Kendall's book 'Did You think to Pray' too simple, but I feel that if you've never said a prayer in your life and have no idea how to do it, this book is a very good place to start.

Rt Kendall is a very practical and forthright person - calling a spade a spade and not a fork. He is not Philip Yancy with lots of anecdotes but he will give you a good no punches pulled start based on a sound theological background - he was Dean of Westminster for 13 years!

A fascinating look at how spirit can manifest in our lives through the authors own life experiences. Sometimes harrowing, but always heartening, Colette is able to use actual events in her life to show how she has been able to open up to the wonderful gifts that intuition has to offer us.

Focusing on how the "wrong" emotional states can act as barriers to realising your potential, Your Destiny Switch allows the individual to see how it's possible to change those states by simple, but effective exercises and affirmations. This book is able to bring a different approach to the normal "self-help" books by allowing people to look at the different emotional states that they invariably wallow in -mostly because they don't know any different- safely, but also (and more importantly) show them that there are alternatives within their grasp.

This is a fascinating insight into how, by using Sandra Anne Taylors well thought out and reasoned rules and laws, you can change your life and attitudes to life. Quantum Success is different from many other "self help" books because it uses both spirituality and quantum science to empower the individual to make some real changes in their lives. There are several meditations; affirmations and rules will allow the individual to lay down concrete foundations that will affect every aspect of their lives.

I think wow sums up the book perfectly - this is a very dynamic read with some really practical and upbeat examples of how to change your life. It's no wonder that Michael Neill is one of the finest success coaches in the world today - "You Can Have What You Want" is clearly written that draws on his experiences of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and creates a system of defined goals that can be easily applied to many areas of life, such as Work; Finances; Relationships and even Health!

If you read one "Self Help" book, make it this one!

I've been a fan of Joel Osteen for about 4 or 5 years now, having come across this quietly spoken preacher on one of Sky's God channels. I was impressed by the fact that he uses common sense in his TV broadcasts and internet Daily Word that go to millions of people around the world, and doesn't bible bash at you. And so it is with all of his books.
