The Mastery of Destiny
by James AllenThere is, and always has been, a widespread belief in Fate, or Destiny, that is, in an eternal and inscrutable Power which apportions definite ends to both individuals and nations. But, contradictory as it may appear, there is an equally widespread belief in man's responsibility as a free agent. This dual experience of fate on the one hand, and freedom on the other, has given rise to the interminable controversy between the believers in Fatalism and the upholders of free will. Man is the doer of his own deeds; as such he is the maker of his own character; and as the doer of his deeds and the maker of his character, he is the molder and shaper of his destiny.

Green hows how musical excellence, exhibited by true virtuosos, requires a mastery of ten unique qualities of the soul and the human spirit, such as confidence, passion, discipline, creativity, and relaxed concentration, and he discusses specific ways in which all musicians, composers, and conductors can take their skills to higher levels. He carefully incorporates all instruments and techniques in his rejuvenating discussions, inspiring the stifled student to have fun again and the over-rehearsed performer to rediscover the joy of passionate expression.

Matchbook: The Diary of a Modern-Day Matchmaker
by Samantha DanielsFans of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones's Diary, and anyone who loves to date vicariously, will fall in love with Matchbook. In this irresistible read, America's hippest Matchmaker borrows from her real-life experiences to create an urban love story about searching for "The One." When people learn what Samantha Daniels does for a living, they have to know more: How did she become a Match-maker? How many matches have led to marriage? How does it work? Who's her craziest client? And most of all, how can a Matchmaker be single? Samantha Daniels is unlike any Matchmaker you've ever heard of. Young, ambitious, and, yes, single, she's the founder of Samantha's Table, an introduction service that caters to singles in New York and Los Angeles who are ready to invest seriously in the task of finding The One. After handpicking their matches, Daniels works with her clients as their cheerleader, part-time therapist, dating coach, voice of reason, and closest confidante as she helps them down the road to happily ever after. Readers learn how Daniels started her Matchmaking business (How much do you charge for finding the love of someone's life? How do you screen out the Undatables?) and get to know the colorful cast of characters whom she fondly refers to as her "Desperados." There's Mr. Cheapskate, Miss Manhunt, and Looks Good from Afar Guy. There's the 39-year-old female corporate exec who wants a husband yesterday; there's the guy who will only date women worthy of Brad Pitt; there's the gazillionaire who offers a $60,000 bonus if Samantha can find him a supermodel wife; there's the very well endowed woman who's having trouble finding men attracted to her mind; and a host of others. Will Samantha be able to make them a match? And more importantly, will this Matchmaker find herself a match? You would think that meeting hundreds of single men would make dating a snap, but not even a Matchmaker can avoid the pitfalls of single life. Readers are introduced to another lively cast of characters -- the men that Daniels herself dates. Readers meet the many Not for Me Guys and a few Maybe for Me Guys, to see that even a celebrated Matchmaker can be a Desperado herself. Throughout the book, Daniels also offers real dating advice (such as the most common first-date mistakes and tried-and-true conversation topics) and secrets of the trade (why September is the best month for Matchmaking). Like a real-life episode of The Bachelor, Matchbook is a wild ride through the flirty, unpredictable world of urban dating, with a wise and witty guide at the helm. For those who love romance and anyone looking for love, Matchbook is a perfect match.
Material: Making and the Art of Transformation
by Nick KaryA master craftsperson explores the ways in which working with our hands reveals the essence of both our humanity and our relationship with the natural, material world In our present age of computer-assisted design, mass production and machine precision, the traditional skills of the maker or craftsperson are hard to find. Yet the desire for well-made and beautiful objects from the hands (and mind) of a skilled artisan is just as present today as it ever has been. Whether the medium they work with is wood, metal, clay or something else, traditional makers are living links to the rich vein of knowledge and skills that defines our common human heritage. More than this, though, many of us harbor a deep and secret yearning to produce something – to build or shape, to imagine and create our own objects that are imbued not only with beauty and functionality, but with a story and, in essence, a spirit drawn from us. Nick Kary understands this yearning. For nearly four decades he has worked on commission to make fine, distinctive furniture and cabinets from wood, most of it sourced near his home, in the counties of South West England. During this time, he has been both a teacher and a student; one who is fascinated with the philosophy and practice of craft work of all kinds. In Material, Kary takes readers along with him to visit some of the places where modern artisans are preserving, and in some cases passing on, the old craft skills. His vivid descriptions and eye for detail make this book a rich and delightful read, and the natural and cultural history he imparts along the way provides an important context for understanding our own past and the roots of our industrial society. Personal, engaging, and filled with memorable people, landscapes and scenes, Material is a rich celebration of what it means to imagine and create, which in the end is the essence of being human, and native to a place. As Kary puts it, “Wood and words, trees and people, material and ethereal – it is here I love increasingly to dwell.”

Matrícula de error: El camino creativo que lleva del error al éxito
by Gabriel García de OroUn manual de creatividad a partir de los errores. La experiencia, decía Oscar Wilde, es simplemente otra manera de llamar a nuestros errores. Sin embargo, por más que lo sepamos, el fracaso suele provocar un rechazo difícil de superar. Revisando el origen de algunas decisiones tomadas en el pasado, con toda seguridad comprobaremos que el miedo a equivocarnos, el «terror del error», fue el verdadero conductor de nuestros actos. En el ámbito laboral, donde es normal sentirse más vulnerable, estos temores se recrudecen y tienden a limitarnos, e incluso a coartar nuestra creatividad. En Matrícula de error, Gabriel García de Oro analiza este miedo a la libertad y nos aporta las claves para superarlo: desmonta las falsas asunciones, reevalúa los conceptos de éxito y fracaso, repasa algunos de los errores creativos más célebres, hasta poner de manifiesto que a veces nuestras mayores derrotas pueden constituir un éxito a largo plazo.
matrimonio vertical: Abraza el secreto que enriquecerá tu matrimonio
by Dave And Wilson John DriverEl matrimonio vertical relata en español, la experiencia y el viaje de la pareja hacia la sinceridad, el arrepentimiento, la perspectiva y, en última instancia, descubrir el secreto que puede transformar cualquier matrimonio en lo que Dios lo diseñó.La dolorosa y franca confesión de Ann a Dave respecto al verdadero estado de su matrimonio se produjo en el aparcamiento donde ellos pronto ayudarían a iniciar una nueva iglesia. Habían salido a celebrar su décimo aniversario de bodas.A pesar de los planes de Dave para que fuera una noche romántica, Ann expresó la profundidad de su desdicha que le había pasado inadvertida a su esposo, quien nunca sospechó el dolor de ella. A través de las lágrimas de Ann, Dave podía oír el susurro de la voz de Dios, que luchaba con sus propias palabras en un intento por defenderse.Cierra la boca y escucha.Lo que Dave oyó de labios de su amada esposa fue difícil de digerir, pero —tal y como iba quedando manifiestamente claro— ella tenía razón. Al estar iniciando Dave y Ann una iglesia, y al servir él como capellán de los Detroit Lions, su vida se había convertido en reuniones constantes, en estudios bíblicos, en consejería, en mentorías privadas y en viajes. Nunca estaba en casa, se esforzaba al máximo para servir a todos, pero estaba descuidando a Ann y a sus hijos. Ella sentía que él ya no interactuaba con ella en su matrimonio ni en la crianza de sus tres hijos pequeños.El enojo de Ann se transformó en amargura, hasta llegar al punto de que a ella ya no le importaba que él estuviera de viaje. Y el que David fuera completamente ajeno a sus problemas no ayudaba en nada; de modo que ella sentía que a él no le importaba. Este es un problema que muchos matrimonios afrontan de una forma u otra. Pero en medio de esta dolorosa conversación que podría haber puesto punto final a todo, Dios volvió a susurrarle a Dave.En el asiento delantero de su vetusto vehículo, Dave oró en voz alta y se arrepintió ante Dios al darse cuenta de que su relación con él se había enfriado ahora. Se arrepintió por no ser el esposo y el padre que Ann y sus hijos necesitaban. Dios iluminó su corazón con un sencillo secreto del matrimonio que, sin embargo, él había pasado por alto a menudo: solo se puede mantener una relación personal “horizontal” saludable entre un esposo y su esposa cuando la relación personal “vertical” con Cristo está viva y saludable.Lleno de autenticidad, humor, principios bíblicos y relatos contundentes, Dave y Ann revelan el plan de Dios para el matrimonio para todo aquel que está casado, se esté preparando para el matrimonio, o esté desesperado por salvar un matrimonio que se encuentra al borde del desastre. Esta pareja sincera e imperfecta (como el resto de nosotros) revela por qué el matrimonio es tan difícil... y mediante su propia narración personal de los altibajos matrimoniales, revelan el secreto elusivo para hallar y disfrutar del gozo y de la transformación relacional para los cuales Dios nos ha diseñado, con tanta gracia, a cada de uno de nosotros.
Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation
by Richard BartlettIn 1997, Dr. Richard Bartlett experienced an event that would redirect the entire course of his life. He suddenly discovered that by lightly touching his clients while at the same time applying focused intent, he could restore them to a physically, mentally, and spiritually balanced state, instantly shifting misalignments that had plagued them for years. Most astonishing of all, he could teach anyone how to do this. Now, for millions of people looking for empowerment in an age of declining and impersonal healthcare, Dr. Bartlett shares this phenomenon in a book full of explosive potential. In Matrix Energetics, Dr. Bartlett builds upon his popular seminars to teach us how to access the discovery he has made -- a process that merges the science of subtle energy with our innate imaginations to produce measurable results. By applying forces known to modern physics, each of us can tap into states of healthy awareness from different moments -- in essence, travel in time -- and bring them into the present for immediate, profound results. As Dr. Bartlett clearly shows, this practice requires no special training, produces transformation in the blink of an eye, and is available to everyone who has a willingness to learn. Matrix Energetics, The Science and Art of Transformation, provides an easily-reproducible, results-oriented process of change that draws on the fundamental principles embraced by the field of quantum physics. This paradigm-busting book can teach anyone how to access their creative power to heal and transform their lives. Dr. Richard Bartlett discovered that what he once thought about the human body was just the tip of the iceberg -- after seeing change beneath his hands, and hearing about the invisible transformations that were often revealed later -- he knew that he had to pass along what he had discovered.

A Matter Of Dignity: Changing the Lives of the Disabled
by Andrew PotokI realized that I needed to learn about the legislative and legal aspects of disability as much as I did about our feelings regarding wholeness, beauty and ugliness, about the state called normalcy, about liberating technologies and therapies, about the role of the disabled in history and literature. And what could better inform and enlighten me than contact with people who help create access, who elicit change via care, support, teaching, and study as their life's work? As it turned out, I have learned from them that, in spite of the American addiction to youthfulness, "normalcy," virility, activity, and physical beauty, diversity in all its forms provides not only fascination but strength. Diversity tends toward higher forms, uniformity toward dullness and extinction. What could make more sense than to value all that is diverse, unexpected, and exuberantly impure?
