Wake Up and Live!
by Dorothea BrandeOne of the very few greatest self-help books ever written. More than two millions copies sold. Still, it's not your typical, easy "believe in yourself and/or pretend to agree with everybody, and the success will surely be yours" sort of a book. If you "hate self-help" books then this one is just for you!Theres lots about creativity here, and about work requiring creativity. The Author was a creative person herself - a successful writer of fiction, who also wrote two non-fiction books that have won a well-deserved place among the greatest books in their kinds. One is the present one, the other "Becoming a Writer" - still most likely the best advice for all actual and aspiring creative writers - both on psychology and on practical aspects of their work. WAKE UP AND LIVE! is a practical handbook for every man and woman who wants to find success and happiness in life. Simply written and easy to read, it shows you how to overcome the obstacles that are holding you down. It will prove to you that the USE, not the quantity, of your brains is what counts most toward successful living. WAKE UP AND LIVE! has opened the eyes of thousands of readers to a whole new idea of living. Here is a book that can revolutionize your entire existence and put success within reach by teaching you to concentrate on the things that really matter. It took Dorothea Brande twenty years to write WAKE UP AND LIVE! During that time she wrote some forty-two short pieces of work, not one of which was complete. And then, discovering that she had reserves of energy she had not even begun to tap, she addressed herself to her writing with the slogan: Act as if it were impossible to fail. Wake Up and Live! has proved to be a contagious work because of that very enthusiasm. A case in point is that of the stenographer whose job it was to type the manuscript for the printer. The young lady was so impressed by what she was typing that she quit her job, went into business for herself, and in two months owned her own agency, employing three girls to help her. Nor is this an isolated case, as the hundreds of letters which have poured in to the publisher's offices demonstrate. The book definitely has something. Then, in 1935, Most Beautiful Lady was brought out, and had an excellent run. By this time, Miss Brande had started a nation-wide correspondence course in the art of fiction-writing. She was lecturing at schools and colleges, and what she offered was sound, practical advice. In February, 1936, Wake Up and Live! came out. The results were instantaneous - witness the stenographer and her metamorphosis. Dorothea Brande had not only found out how to use her own vitality to good purpose, but also how to give others the same release. She advocated not wishful thinking, but mental action. Perhaps it was just because her own work had been so hampered by a lack of concentrated energy that she was able to show others the obstacles that had to be surmounted. In 1938 the title of the book was sold to the movies to serve as a starring vehicle for Ben Bernie and Walter Winchell. The story has been translated into several foreign languages, including Danish, Swedish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Dutch.

What Are You Hungry For?
by Deepak ChopraBasis for the upcoming PBS Special!After promoting this message worldwide for thirty years, bestselling author Deepak Chopra focuses on the huge problem of weight control in America with exciting new concepts. What Are You Hungry For? is the breakthrough book that can bring weight under effortless control by linking it to personal fulfillment in every area of a reader's life. What are you hungry for? Food? Love? Self-esteem? Peace? In this manual for "higher health," based on the latest findings in both mainstream and alternative medicine, Deepak Chopra creates a vision of weight loss based on a deeper awareness of why people overeat - because they are trying to find satisfaction and wind up using food as a substitute for real fulfillment. Repudiating the failed approaches of crash dieting and all forms of deprivation, Chopra's new book aims directly at the problem of finding fulfillment. When that problem is solved, he argues, normal eating falls into place automatically, and the entire system of mind and body achieves what it really desires. "Everyone's life story is complicated, and the best intentions go astray because people find it hard to change," writes Chopra. "Bad habits, like bad memories, stick around stubbornly when we wish they'd go away. But you have a great motivation working for you, which is your desire for happiness. I define happiness as the state of fulfillment, and everyone wants to be fulfilled. If you keep your eye on this, your most basic motivation, then the choices you make come down to a single question: "What am I hungry for?" Your true desire will lead you in the right direction. False desires lead in the wrong direction." Wherever you are in life, this book will help point you in that right direction.
