by Anthony RobbinsCómo lograr la calidad de vida que deseas y mereces mejorando a la vez tu vida personal y profesional. «La vida pagará cualquier precio que tú pidas.» <P><P>Esta sencilla máxima muestra elocuentemente la teoría básica de este libro: el problema esencial del desarrollo personal no está en las circunstancias, sino en nuestra actitud vital.

Poder, Política y Cambio: ¿Cómo puedo ayudar a hacer del mundo un lugar mejor?
by OshoEl poder no corrompe, asegura Osho, es el hombre corrupto quien encuentra en las circunstancias una manera de expresar lo que lleva dentro. Poder, política y cambio es un libro que plantea la problemática de una realidad que alcanza a la humanidad entera y que es posible cambiar. Si bien los regímenes de gobierno y la religión son los blancos más visibles de estas reflexiones, la ambición es parte intrínseca de cada persona, por lo tanto, es necesario partir del espíritu propio para cambiar al mundo. El hombre iluminado da, simplemente. No porque quiera sacar algo de ti; tú no tienes nada para darle. Él da porque tiene mucho, lleva una sobrecarga. Da porque es una nube cargada de lluvia, tan llena de agua que tiene que llover. No importa dónde, sobre qué: las piedras, el suelo fértil, los jardines, el mar; es igual. La nube sólo quiere descargarse.

Poems to Fix a F**ked Up World
by Various PoetsSometimes it's hard to keep looking up at the stars when the gutter we're in seems so full of sh*t. But isn't that why we need poetry?

Nelson Mandela held fast to his 'unconquerable soul' on Robben Island with the help of the words a poet wrote about his battle with tuberculosis a century before. So maybe it's not inconceivable that the words in this little book could help you put some of the sh*t in perspective, get all the important bits of your life - like sleep, work, food, travel, love and learning - in some kind of balance, so you can go back to star-gazing again . . . Taking as its starting point the classic 'wheel of balance' life-coach model, this beautifully packaged collection of extracts and short poems gathers wisdom old and new in a perfect gift for anyone who needs comfort in this f**ked up world of ours.'This is not a poetry book as you know it, this is a life raft.'

Point of View: A Fresh Look at Work, Faith, and Freedom
by Elisabeth Hasselbeck Candace Cameron BureRecognized from her roles on Survivor, The View, and FOX & Friends, celebrity Elisabeth Hasselbeck presents a deeply intimate journey of faith, told through the important moments in her life."Point of view," by definition, is a particular attitude or way of considering a matter. Through her nearly two decades of broadcasting, Elisabeth learned the necessity of extracting the point of view of the person being interviewed on a particular topic or subject or experience. Doing so allows you to see issues and truths through another's eyes. It requires a shift in perspective to see the story through their lens. In this illuminating book, Elisabeth walks through the times--from her national celebrity days to her newest role as CBO (Chief Breakfast Officer)--where she saw something differently than how God wanted her to, and the path back to His point of view was sometimes rocky but always revealing. Sometimes God's intentions for her were clear, yet other times she encountered situations so uncomfortable and blurry that she could only ask for His wisdom. In this book, Elisabeth welcomes you into the many different, and often divergent, points of view that she has witnessed and learned from along the way. It is a journey that brought her to the ultimate point of view that she discovered in the Word of God--that until she sees herself as He sees her, she is not seeing at all. As you read through the pages here, she invites you to make the same discovery for yourself.

Ponga su pasado donde pertenece en el pasado!: Camine hacia la libertad y el perdon
by Stephen ViarsVivimos paralizados cuando no sabemos cómo reconciliarnos con nuestro pasado. Algunos creen que "el pasado no importa" y procuran reprimir el dolor una vez tras otra. Otros no logran renovarse y cambiar porque creen que el pasado es más importante que su presente y su futuro. Ninguno de los enfoques conduce a la sanidad o la esperanza. Pastor y consejero bíblico, Stephen Viars propone una tercera forma de ver la historia personal de cada uno -analizar el papel del pasado según la voluntad de Dios. Escudriñando las Escrituras para llevar a los lectores hacia adelante, Viars proporciona medidas prácticas para: * entender el importante lugar que se le da al *pasado* en las Escrituras * sustituir la culpa y la desesperación con el perdón y la esperanza * convertir los fracasos en oportunidades para el crecimiento Esta recurso, que motiva e inspira, ofrece ayuda a toda persona dispuesta a revisar el pasado y ponerlo en su lugar, a fin de que Dios pueda transformar su conducta, sus relaciones y su capacidad para que tenga esperanza para el futuro.Lives grind to a halt when people don't know how to relate to their past. Some believe "the past is nothing"and attempt to suppress the brokenness again and again. Others miss out on renewal and change by making the past more important than their present and future. Neither approach moves people toward healing or hope. Pastor and biblical counselor Stephen Viars introduces a third way to view one's personal history-by exploring the role of the past as God intended. Using Scripture to lead readers forward, Viars provides practical measures to * understand the important place "the past" is given in Scripture * replace guilt and despair with forgiveness and hope * turn failures into stepping stones for growth This motivating, compassionate resource is for anyone ready to review and release the past so that God can transform their behaviors, relationships, and their ability to hope in a future.
Poor Richard's Almanack
by Benjamin FranklinBenjamin Franklin's classic book is full of timeless, thought-provoking insights that are as valuable today as they were over two centuries ago. With more than 700 pithy proverbs, Franklin lays out the rules everyone should live by and offers advice on such subjects as money, friendship, marriage, ethics, and human nature. They range from the famous "A penny saved is a penny earned" to the lesser-known but equally practical "When the wine enters, out goes the truth". Other truisms like "Fish and visitors stink after three days" combine sharp wit with wisdom. Paul Volcker's new introduction offers a fascinating perspective on Franklin's beloved work.
Pope Benedict XVI
by Stephen MansfieldWhile often regarded as a conservative influence on the church, the Pope and his story defy easy categorization, argues bestselling author Stephen Mansfield. John Paul became a priest only after attending an underground seminary during the Nazi occupation of Poland. To keep his national culture alive during those dark years, young Karol started an outlawed theater troupe. He became a poet and a playwright, and, even after gaining an international reputation as a theologian, he still kept the artist's touch. Mansfield vividly recalls the Pope as the churchman whose courage helped to bring down communism, as the world figure who visited his would-be assassin's prison cell to extend forgiveness, and as the theologically conservative icon who fought for the poor and against the corruptions of capitalism more than any other world leader of his time. He is the first pope to enter a synagogue, the first to apologize for the Holocaust, and the first to visit a concentration camp. What is certain, says Mansfield, is that Pope John Paul II has had a decisive impact on our times, and not only as a religious leader: He has shaped our world as a philosopher, a statesman, an artist, and a "great soul. " In Pope John Paul II, Mansfield examines the Pope's influence on the world specifically from the perspective of a non-Catholic-a committed Christian without fealty to Rome. Mansfield's academic depth, his poetic but widely accessible writing style, and his ability to render complex religious ideas understandable to the non-religious, lend his treatment of Pope John Paul II significance for readers of all philosophies and faiths.
