Table Of Contents Foreword The Greatest Personal Development Books Of All Time Sample Content Preview Letters from a Stoic by Seneca He was born around the same time as Jesus and was one of the leading figures in his Roman Empire. He was also one of history's leading Stoic philosophers (along with Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus who we also profile) and has some powerful wisdom to share. In this book, we'll explore the purpose of philosophy, the importance of focusing our attention and the mojo that comes from facing our fears. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius Marcus Aurelius was the Emperor-Philosopher of the Roman Empire and one of the most enlightened leaders ever. Meditations is a collection of journal entries he wrote to himself and in this book we'll explore some great Ideas of his Stoic philosophy—from the importance of never confusing ourselves with visions of a lifetime all at once, to not worrying about what others think of us and living a life of purpose and service. Rumi Daylight: A Day Book of Spiritual Guidance by Rumi Rumi's poetry is stunning. In this book, we'll explore some inspiring wisdom from the Sufi mystic and have fun applying it to our 21st century lives—from the importance of having patience and seeing challenging times as God's way of strengthening us to working hard and going for it. The Analects of Confucius by Confucius Confucius. Talk about old school. I’ve waded through some of the arcane stuff from his classic "Analects" to bring us some highly practical wisdom for our 21st century lives. We'll take a look at a bunch of big Ideas on the importance of being a passionate (and patient!) student of life while striving to do our best. Good stuff. The Bhagavad Gita: A Classic of Indian Spirituality by Krishna The classic text of Hinduism is *packed* with wisdom. In the book, we take a super quick look at the context for the book and then jump into some powerful wisdom—including the importance of meditation, the fact that making mistakes is an inherent part of our growth process and the uber-importance of letting go of our attachment to results. The Dhammapada: The Sayings of Buddha by Buddha A core text of Buddhism, The Dhammapada literally means something along the lines of "the path of truth and righteousness" and is packed with wisdom. In this book, we'll take a quick look at some central tenets of Buddhism (like the Four Noble Truths, nirvana, and the eightfold path) and soak up some Buddha mojo on how to rock our wisest lives. The Enchiridion by Epictetus Epictetus is one of three Stoic philosophers we profile (Marcus Aurelius and Seneca are the other two) and this former slave turned leading philosopher of his era is incredible. He echoes the wisdom of all the great teachers as he reminds us that, if we want to be happy, we've gotta realize the only thing we have control over is our response to a situation. We'll have fun tapping into a lot more of his vast mojo in the book. The Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson by Ralph Waldo Emerson Ralph Waldo Emerson is a hero of mine (he occupies the Great-Great+ Grandfather slot in my spiritual family tree) and his essays, although written in 19th century prose, totally fire me up. In this book, we'll explore some big Ideas on self-reliance (trust yourself!!!), the power of enthusiasm (did you know the word literally means "God within"?!), and how God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. Plus other goodness. The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu It's the core text of Taoism and one of the top old school classics of all time. In this book, we'll take a look at everything from making use of solitude to the fact that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step (heard that before, eh?!). We'll also learn to let go of our attachment to future results and gracefully roll with the ebbs and flows of life. Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche Nietzsche was said to deliver his philosophy with a hammer and this book definitely nails his disdain for conditioning and conformity. In the book, we'll take a peek at some really Big Ideas including the fact that our worst enemy is often inside our own heads, that sometimes we need to push ourselves to discover just how far we can go, and how we’ve gotta be willing to go into the depths of our being if we want to fly. Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey This book has been a top seller since it was published in 1990, offering advice on how to improve your leadership and get ahead in business.

Table Of Contents Foreword Chapter 1: Success Stories Of Great People And Inspiring Leaders Chapter 2: Overcoming Adversity Chapter 3: Timeless Inspirational Tales Chapter 4: Inspirational Women Stories From Around The World Chapter 5: Teachings And Lessons From Animals Wrapping Up Sample Content Preview Chapter 2: Overcoming Adversity Oprah Winfrey - No one ever blames Oprah Winfrey for taking some easy way out. Although her childhood was full of toil, this young girl from Kosciusko, Mississippi always believed she was destined to be someone great. Maybe it was from her life background in a village that she learned “to turn misery into wisdom” as she stated later. And her misery was not just a few. She was born as she resulted of a free intercourse between her mother and a service man who then left her. First Oprah was brought up by her grandmother in a pig farm with no running water facility. She then lived with her mother who moved to Milwaukee where she was sexually abused for the first time by a friend of her family and her own relative. Oprah grew up into a rebellious teenager, at 14 years old she lived in a bad surroundings and gave birth to a male baby that died a week later. Loosing her patience, Oprah’s mother sent her to live with her father – a man she never knew before. But it was by living with her father that she eventually got the discipline she needed to turn her outstanding intelligence into its right track. She was doing well at school and was known for her smart talking. She joined a local beauty contest and won a scholarship in Tennessee State University. She began to study broadcast communication and got a part time job as a reporter in Nashville TV station. Suddenly it looked like nothing could ever stop the strides of this young girl she once was a naughty girl. Oprah left school at the age as young as 19 years old to become the first Afro-American woman broadcaster in Nashville. She wrestled with this job for three years before she took another job in Baltimore Broadcasting Station – where there were larger market segment and greater prestige and challenge as well. This step later proved to be the biggest blessing in disguise mistake Oprah had made. Oprah was usually calm and self controlled in her previous job, but now she looked so exhausted. She forgot to read the text copy prior to her appearance before the camera. She misspelled “blasé” and misplaced Barbados to be somewhere in California and made a small laugh at that incident. She interviewed a fire victim with such style as asking “How did you feel after the ordeal?” then wept in front of the camera and apologized for exploiting woman’s emotion. The station management did not appreciate her attitude in front of the camera and they didn’t like her appearance either. They complained about her hair style, her big nose and the distance between her eyes. Tempted to glamorize her appearance, they sent her to a good salon in New York which did a disastrous remodeling that made her fair fall off. Failing to find a suitable wig, she managed to appear on the camera (then she said: “You will learn a lot about yourself if you are baldheaded, a black and a news broadcaster in Baltimore”) In one year her glory was to be unpredictably coming. The station had had enough of this new figure. They decided she just didn’t fit to TV news broadcasting job. But to avoid breaking her contract, they choose not to fire her but lowered her position from broadcaster to presenter of a talk show for housewives called “People Are Talking” run at daytime. Oprah said, “Failure is the way God chooses to remind you that you are on the wrong track”. But clearly she is now on the right track about her first day on the talk show “it is like a breath of relief, and it is exactly what you must feel”. The show was a prime show and most of the audience were women who found themselves reflected in the figure of that simple, direct, funny and human presenter. Seven years later, Oprah’s show attracted a station in Chicago and she was offered to move there to direct the A. M. Chicago show. In a month, she made that show the most loveable show. In 1985 the show was further developed and given a new name: The Oprah Winfrey Show and is now nationally broadcasted. During more than 15 years of unpredicted success, Oprah keep sharing many things, including her own struggle and success affairs: going on a diet against too much food and fat (she eventually got her ideal weight), a law suit by a ranch owner (which she won), the “TV Garbage” program which dominates her market segment (she soared up and achieved highest rating). Even after all she had been through, she refused to see her failures as mistakes. “I don’t believe in failure” Oprah said. “It is not a failure if you enjoy the process”. Once upon a time, a farmer owned an old mule who tripped and fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule braying and was unable to figure out how to bring up the old animal. It grieved him that he could not pull the animal out. He'd been a good worker around the farm. Although the farmer sympathized with the mule, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened. He had them help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and quietly put him out of his misery. At first, the old mule was puzzled, but as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, he had a thought: he ought to shake off the dirt and step up. And he did just that. "Shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up." Even though he took painful blows of dirt and fought panic, he just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up! It wasn't long before the old mule stepped up and over the lip of that well. What could have buried him actually blessed him...all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity. Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes, he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.

Currently, there are up to hundreds of psychotherapeutic approaches or schools of thought. Sorts It was reported that by 1980 there were more than 250 types of methods used. By 1996 there were more than 450. The development of new and hybrid approaches continues around the wide variety of theoretical backgrounds and patient settings. Many healthcare practitioners use a variety of methods based on their patients’ needs. With the development of newer and more effective methods, regulatory boards have also flourished to monitor and regulate the practice of these methods to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the patients. If you are facing a particular problem, you may consider doing your own research into the types of psychotherapies to see which would be most appropriate to help you solve your problems. Some of the common psychotherapies used include: - Psychoanalysis - Gestalt Therapy - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Expressive Therapy - Hypnotherapy In the next chapter, we will have a more detailed look into these therapies. Chapter 3: Psychoanalysis Synopsis This technique was first developed by the father of psychoanalysis - Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud in the 19th and early 20th century. Here are the basic concepts of psychoanalysis: The Concept -Human behavior is largely due to emotional drives instead of logical drives -These drives are largely not conscious -Bringing these drives to awareness brings up resistance (in many forms) -Besides genetic factors, our childhood environment affects ones development - Conflicts between conscious view of reality and unconscious (repressed) material can result in mental illnesses such as clinical depression, anxiety etc. - Liberation from the effects of the unconscious material is achieved through bringing this material into the consciousness This is often portrayed in the mainstream media – where you see someone lying on a sofa chair while being counseled by someone. It is believed that a person’s verbalized thoughts, free associations, fantasies and dreams lies the key to the causes of the patient’s problems, and interpretation of these findings can help the patient to create insight to the resolution of the problem. Treatment begins when a patient fully trusts in the psychotherapist to allow him/her to analyze his problems. The patient is fully rested on a sofa couch out of sight of the psychotherapist. From there, the psychotherapist will begin to interpret the patient’s unconscious conflicts which interfere with his current days function. Through frame therapy, he is able to help the patient resolve conflicts within himself by dwelling deep into the distorted perceptions of the patient towards reality (which is mainly caused by childhood experiences). When well rested on the couch, the patient is able to remember more clearly about his past as well as experience more resistance and transference, and be able to reorganize thoughts after the development of new insights. Some of the common treatable problems through this method include: Phobias, compulsions, obsessions, anxiety, attacks, depressions, sexual dysfunctions, a wide variety of relationship problems. The patient must first undergo a preliminary stage of psychoanalysis to see if he is suited for assessment and also allow the psychotherapist to form the best model of treatment for the patient. Chapter 4: Gestalt Therapy Synopsis Gestalt therapy was founded by Fritz Perls, Laura Perls and Paul Goodman in the 1940s and 1950s. Gestalt therapists help patients by focusing on what’s happening now rather than what has happened in the past, what could be happening in the future or what should be happening. One Approach The emphasis is on personal responsibility, and that focuses upon the individual's experience in the present moment. Patients are thought how to enhance their awareness on the present moment rather than what they perceive or distinguish based on their pre-existing values. Basic concepts: 1) The Phenomenological Perspective This concept helps patients realize what is really happening in the present rather than what they perceive is happening based on their past beliefs or experiences by enhancing their state or ability of awareness. 2) The Field Theory Perspective This theory states that parts are in immediate relationship and responsive to each other and no part is uninfluenced by what goes on elsewhere in the field. The field replaces the notion of discrete, isolated particles. The person in his or her life space constitutes a field. In field theory no action is at a distance; that is, what has effect must touch that which is affected in time and space. 3) The Existential Perspective The existential perspective focuses on people's existence and relations with each other such joys and suffering. It states that people are always remaking or discovering themselves. There is no essence of human nature to be discovered "once and for all." There are always new horizons, new problems and new opportunities. 4) The Dialogue This method focuses on the relationship between the therapist and the patient. Gestalt therapy helps clients develop their own support for desired contact or withdrawal. Support, here means anything that makes contact or withdrawal possible such as energy, body support, breathing, information, concern for others, language etc. Support mobilizes resources for contact or withdrawal. For example, to support the excitement accompanying contact, a person must take in enough oxygen. The practitioner works by engaging in dialogue rather than by manipulating the patient toward some therapeutic goal. This contact is characterized by straight forward caring, warmth, acceptance and self-responsibility.

Table Of Contents Foreword Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: History of Cupping Chapter 3: Basics of Cupping Chapter 4: Tools Of Cupping Chapter 5: How To Perform Cupping Chapter 6: Application of Cupping Chapter 7: Benefits of Cupping Chapter 8: Who Is Cupping Not Suitable For Wrapping Up Sample Content Preview Chapter 2: History of Cupping Synopsis Cupping is an ancient traditional healing method used in China which dated back from the year 281 AD. This ancient medical practice was originally used by the Taoists in the imperial courts of that era. Where It Originated Although history has shown cupping to be used in other civilizations, its first use was documented by a practicing Taoist, alchemist, and a medicinal herbalist named Ge Hong. Ge Hong was famous during his time as an accomplished healer and a trusted confidante of many high officials in ancient China. He successfully applied cupping to treat a variety of diseases which couldn’t be cured by conventional methods in his time. Here’s a quick fact: Back in the olden days, animal horns were used for cupping, which gave rise to its name as the medicinal horn technique of healing. Back in the Qing and Tang Dynasty, cupping has been used to treat pulmonary tuberculosis, moxibustion, common colds, back pains, knotted nerves and muscles, and arthralgia. It has also been used for promoting general health and wellbeing among patients who could afford it. In the modern day China and elsewhere in the world, common glass cups or even fine plastic cups have been used to replace its ancestral animal horns and bamboo. The type of cups has also evolved over time to suit the patients’ needs. Besides China, cupping has been also found to be used in deep East Asian regions, especially in Northern China, Japan, and the Korean peninsula. Certain areas such as the Middle East use a similar method known as “Wet Cupping”. Today, cupping has also been implemented widely in eastern and western cultures through the process of globalization. Chapter 3: Basics of Cupping Synopsis In this chapter, you will be exposed to the basics concept of cupping and how it can improve a patient’s health. An Inside Look The basic concept of cupping is by using locally applied suction to improve blood flow and facilitate healing. Suction cups are placed on the body of the patient by a trained practitioner and then heated with fire. After heating, the rims of the cups are sealed and the heated cups create a partial vacuum after the cups cool off. This enables the cup to suck the skin, pulling in skin tissue and promoting blood flow. The concept is similar to acupuncture where “Qi” is draw to areas with poor blood or lymph circulation. In another fireless technique, suction is created through hand pump and blood is collected. There are also modern pumps such as electromagnetic pumps which utilize the power of magnets and electricity to create suction. Collectively, this whole method of cupping is widely practiced and is known as “Dry Cupping”. Another lesser used method, known as “Wet Cupping” has been used in the Middle East to a certain extent. The process is similar, but includes “bloodletting” or “drawing of blood” by making a superficial incision towards the skins before the suction process. Cupping has been used extensively to treat a wide variety of diseases and symptoms either in combination with western medicine or stand-alone to relieve symptoms. Chapter 4: Tools Of Cupping Synopsis Cupping has come a long way from its predecessors- Bamboo cups, animal horns, brass cups and clay pots. The type of cup used has evolved to suit the needs of the current society and expectations. What Is Used Today, a wide variety of cups has been used in the cupping process. The type of cup used also depends on the type of ailment to be treated. Some of the common cups used include: -Fire suction cup (the most common) -Rubber cups -Silicone cups -Facial cups -Biomagnetic cups -Electric cups The cups also come in different shapes and sizes for easy handling and for better targeting of the area to be suctioned. Sometimes, a special cupping torch is used to facilitate the heating of the cups. Practitioners today also have improved their services in terms of health and hygiene by using sterile rubber gloves, blades wet cupping and alcohol swaps as a disinfectant. With the increase in healthcare standards, healthcare boards around the world are implementing guidelines to ensure the practice of health massages are regulated, safe and effective. Ultimately, any tool used is effective as long as the practitioner is experienced in maximizing the potential of each tool. If the practitioner is not well trained, it doesn’t matter what tools you have, you won’t be getting a good session.

Synopsis Good health has always been the ideal and optimum goal of the human existence. In seeking optimum health conditions various forms of this faith healing, comes in highly rated. Most religions practice some form of faith healing and the Christian religion is no exception. A Little More In Depth Faith healing is generally regarded as a healing process that invokes the power of healing through prayer with or without rituals. This combination is supposed to bring about the spiritually divine energy and power to cure, improve or give relief to physical and mental health problems. The Christian faith healing process can be found in both the Old Testament and New Testament of the bible. Some of the faith healing sessions were performed by the apostles while others were performed by Jesus himself. Christian faith healing usually involves a series of prayer sessions which may sometimes include rituals. Some of these rituals may include visiting religious shrines, temples and even going on pilgrimages. The idea is to connect the individual’s spirit with that of the divine power of God, so that the intervention and healing process can take place and so causing the spiritual healing to manifest. For some people with strong belief in the bible, Christian faith healing is the teaching of total belief and confidence in the power of God to heal any and all physical and mental problems without the help of medication. This belief in the divine power is strong and does in many documented cases prove itself totally successful. The energy and faith released by this strong belief if what contributes to the success of this method of healing. In today’s world where disease is rampant and cure if often too expensive an option or even totally unavailable, seeking faith healing is often the only solution left. There are many well known Christian faith healers in the world today, some genuine, while others just capitalize on the weakness and desperation of those seeking their particular form of help. Some Christian faith healers hold large rallies to help the masses desperately seeking divine intervention for these illnesses. Chapter 3: How Does Jesus Heal? Synopsis The bible is the best source and teaching tool that shows many instances of Jesus healing powers. Jesus healing power has been question and answered, satisfactorily or otherwise many times through the ages by believers and non believers. How It Happens Jesus commonly expected three main categories to be in play in order for the healing process to take place. Of the three however, faith plays the biggest role. Without question it is noted many times, Jesus claiming the faith factor is almost a prerequisite for the healing process to be complete and successful. The faith of the one seeking to be healed is immediately noted before Jesus attempted to complete the process of healing. Jesus constantly referred to the faith level of the individual seeking healing. Jesus made it a point to link the faith level and healing process whenever the situation presented itself. Therefore the assumption or even scientific deduction that without this faith factor, healing may not always be successful is not completely unfounded. Another factor in how Jesus heals is with the use of the medicines of the day or even natural resources.
