The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-aged Mind
by Barbara StrauchA leading science writer examines how the brain's capacity reaches its peak in middle age. For many years, scientists thought that the human brain simply decayed over time and its dying cells led to memory slips, fuzzy logic, negative thinking, and even depression. But new research from neuroscientists and psychologists suggests that, in fact, the brain reorganizes, improves in important functions, and even helps us adopt a more optimistic outlook in middle age. Growth of white matter and brain connectors allow us to recognize patterns faster, make better judgments, and find unique solutions to problems. Scientists call these traits cognitive expertise and they reach their highest levels in middle age. In her impeccably researched book, science writer Barbara Strauch explores the latest findings that demonstrate, through the use of technology such as brain scans, that the middle-aged brain is more flexible and more capable than previously thought. For the first time, long-term studies show that our view of middle age has been misleading and incomplete. By detailing exactly the normal, healthy brain functions over time, Strauch also explains how its optimal processes can be maintained. Part scientific survey, part how-to guide, The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain is a fascinating glimpse at our surprisingly talented middle-aged minds.

Have you ever experienced an uncanny coincidence? Do you wonder about your Spirit Guide? Have you been trying to get in contact with a loved one? Do you need help deciphering signals from Spirit? Since his childhood Mitchell Coombes has been able to see dead people, except he called them 'green people' and considered his gift a normal part of life. In Sensing Spirit he shows how everybody else can make their own psychic abilities part of their everyday lives too. Mitchell shares the funny and heart-warming stories of his life as a psychic medium and reveals the ways that spirits may try and connect with their living loved ones. Most importantly he shows us how to hear, know or see when a spirit is trying to make contact. Sensing Spirit includes many incredible real-life stories - like Maxine who witnessed her daughter Bella sitting up in bed hugging the air right before Maxine received a phone call to say her mother had just died. Before she had a chance to tell Bella the news, Bella asked her if Grandma was going on a holiday because she'd just come and given Bella a hug goodbye. Or like Judy who had a terrifying dream her husband had an accident with a black Mazda and rang to warn him. Her husband laughed it off, until he nearly crashed into a broken-down black Mazda moments later. Mitchell explains how to understand these signs from Spirit as well as discussing psychic phenomena like mysterious orbs, apparitions, electrical disturbances and how to achieve protection from psychic vampires. The book contains the answers to frequently asked psychic questions: 'Can Spirits tell us winning lottery numbers?' 'Do pets have sixth sense?' and 'Do spirits watch us all the time?'

The Seven Laws of Learning: Why Great Leaders Are Also Great Teachers
by Richard L. Godfrey Gerreld L. Pulsipher Hyrum W. SmithThis book is written for great leaders, parents, coaches and mentors who want to become great teachers. The Seven Laws of Learning examines why people like Confucius, Nelson Mandela, Jesus, Winston Churchill, Evita Peron, Mahatma Gandhi and other extraordinary leaders were able to teach new ideas in ways that not only engaged people but persuaded them to use their free will to bring about personal and global change.Too many leaders forget the universal truth that messages-instead of being filled with facts and data-are most effectively communicated by storytelling, metaphor, and teaching that motivates and inspires. In the clutter of all of the data and discussion and PowerPoint slides and lists and handouts, too many leaders do little or nothing to capture the imagination and inspire us to improve, to grow and to change ourselves and our organizations in ways that matter.When you understand and apply the age-old principles you'll learn from The Seven Laws of Learning, your leadership, parenting, coaching and working with others will be more effective, and you will reap the rewards that always accompany great teaching. And, you will have a more positive and lasting impact on those with whom you interact.

The Shadow Effect
by Debbie Ford Marianne Williamson Deepak ChopraDeepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne -New York Times bestselling authors and internationally acclaimed teachers-have joined together to share their knowledge on one of the most crucial obstacles to happiness we face-the shadow. These three luminaries, each with a signature approach, bring to light the parts of ourselves we deny but that still direct our life. For it is only when we embrace our shadow that we discover the gifts of our authentic nature. The shadow exists within all of us. It is a part of us and yet we spend most of our life running from it. But far from being scary, our dark side holds the promise of a better, more fulfilling life. Our shadow makes itself known every day. It is the reason we get furious over a friend showing up ten minutes late, yell at our parents or kids when they have done nothing wrong, and sabotage our own success at the worst possible time. Until we are able to embrace our dualistic nature, we will continue to hurt ourselves and those closest to us and fall short of our potential. Combining the wisdom of three experts, The Shadow Effect is a practical and profound guide to discovering the gifts of our shadow. These three authors powerfully pierce the veil of our unclaimed self, releasing us from the past and propelling us on a journey to wholeness. No longer living a half life, we are capable of achieving our dreams and reclaiming the happiness that is our birthright.
