Conscious Feelings
Living Life Closer to Your Own Truth
by Clinton Callahan
This book is about feelings, and the ways that we, as individuals and as a culture, have numbed ourselves against them. It is about unleashing the possibility of conscious feelings to re-make our lives into what really matters to us. The central framework of the book is built with the Ten Distinctions for Consciously Feeling, including: *Learning the potent difference between thoughts and feelings, which most people confuse *Sorting out feelings (based in the present) from emotions (based in the past or in somebody else’s life) *Fully allowing that feelings are absolutely-neutral energy and information, neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative. Each chapter is enriched with Thoughtmaps—clear diagrams of ways we presently think and ways we could possibly think—and supported by an abundance of practical experiments to try. The Power of Conscious Feelings is so much more than a book of selfhelp or inspiration. Ultimately, it is about our connection with and responsibility for the fate of the Earth.

Health & Personal DevelopmentThis is Your Life
by Cai Kang-Yong
Live for Yourself swept the No.1 bestseller of major bookstores. The second book, This is Your life will teach you to be just right and enjoy the refreshing interpersonal relationship! In his previous book Live for Yourself, Kang-Yong compared emotional intelligence to three things─ sunshine, breeze, and water drop. Sunshine is “understanding," and Live for Yourself talks about how to become understanding. Breeze is "just right". In This is Your Life, Kang-Yong talks about how to be "just right" in EQ through interpersonal relationships. ". The "just right" in interpersonal relationships is to find suitable and appropriate conditions for ourselves, so that we can live more comfortably. You have to live comfortably without anyone explaining any reason. That is because, this is your life. There is a bar that makes people linger, there is an overzealous bar owner, an outdated famous host, a handsome bartender, a man who can make delicious eggroll, and a mysterious old witch. They will bring their life stories with which you and I both seem to be familiar, but have never thought of the solutions. How to make friends: - Making friends is not as same as buying things. You’ll choose a flawless washing machine or diamond ring, but you wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who is flawless. - When some people complain that their friends are too realistic, it is because they themselves use realistic standards to measure friendship. - There is no standard template for living, only scripts that suit us. - Be a reflector. Making friends interesting and they won’t leave you. - When you want to increase self-confidence, comparing your strengths with others. When you want to increase fighting will, comparing your weaknesses with others. - What makes you comfortable is friendship; what makes you anxious is connection. How to satisfy parents and be yourself at the same time: - Who will emotionally blackmail us? If we feel that we owe someone, we will be blackmailed by them. - If you really can’t bear not knowing your parents, or don’t love them, there is an Ah Q mentality way, but it is very useful. It is to imagine an ideal parent in your heart. - Separate your parents' expectations from your own wishes, and measure your limited mental strength and make an assignment that is not compromised. - Satisfying parents’ expectations in small matters is to reserve bargaining chips and hope that parents can respect your own wishes in major matters.

Memory improvement & thinking techniquesAugust 2012Have You Seen My…ummm…Memory?
by Miller Caldwell
Everyone has had the frustrating experience of putting something down and then forgetting where. Although there are many factors that contribute to the ability to remember; it is also a simple fact that some people are better at remembering than others. Outside influences like stress, hormone problems, or even the side –effects of medications can make people absentminded and forgetful. But what if your memory is simply getting progressively worse? Are you frequently embarrassed at not being able to remember someone’s name? Have you ever driven away from a petrol station and genuinely forgotten to pay? Are these episodes of memory loss driving you to despair? If so, then this book by Miller Caldwell is not only going to amuse and entertain you, but it will provide you with many serious tips and selfhelp exercises that will help you train your brain all over again! Mr Caldwell begins by explaining his own diagnosed condition called mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the frustration he felt at having to retire early because of shortterm memory loss. He explains in simple terms how the human brain processes our thoughts and then stores them in preparation for recall. He explains how in most people, sharp thinking and reasoning skills are unaffected by shortterm memory decline and suggests that, if an older person learns information in the right way, he or she is just as likely to remember it as a younger counterpart. Each helpful tip and suggested exercise comes with an anecdote from Caldwell's many varied and fascinating life experiences, including how he almost married the wrong woman! Presented in a delightful and straightforward format, this book will be an invaluable companion to those of us who are just a little bit forgetful or, equally, to those in the early stages of dementia. Oh, and just in case you forget, the charming cover illustration of an elephant with a knot in its trunk will remind you to pick up a copy of your own.

Why Walking Helps Us Think and Live Better
by Walter Orioli
Walking is an activity we often undervalue and underestimate, thinking of it just as a way of getting from one place to another. It’s time to reconsider it. How do you consciously walk? What’s the difference between walking from home to the office and hiking surrounded by trees? How do you process a trip after you’re back home, to be left with new feelings and creative ideas? All these questions can find an answer in Step by Step, the new guide to walking therapy by Walter Orioli. Because walking is not just physical: it involves feelings, thoughts and senses, and it’s time we bring back its spiritual dimension to have a better relationship with our body and the environment. The book features 4 different itineraries as told through the eyes and heart of the author: the Camino de Santiago, the Francigena Way, the St. Francis Way and the Wayfarer Path. Walking starts two different processes in our bodies: the organism is in motion and the muscles are toned, at the same time meditating comes easy and natural. This handbook helps you re-think walking as a simultaneous process for mind and body. The book suggests a three-steps approach to the experience of walking: how to prepare the trip before you take it; how to enjoy it to the fullest; and how to process the feelings that spring from a walk and turn them into art.

Budgeting & financial managementAugust 2012Trusts a Practical Guide
by Terence O'halloran
Within the genre of financial selfhelp, ‘Trusts A Practical Guide’ is an invaluable and rare resource for financial experts and members of the public alike who need a reference work on a subject that is, on the face of it, complex but which undeniably affects many people’s lives at one point or another. Whatever your occupation or background, you are almost certain at some time to need some understanding of this subject, whether in your own financial planning or in advising those around you – and this guide is particularly helpful when dealing with a relative’s probate or the complex issues arising from an inheritance.After thirtyfive years at the top of his profession, FSA member Terry O'Halloran writes passionately and informatively, not only about his subject but also about the importance of spreading the word to others. He has seen many times first hand the benefits of wellorganized and implemented financial planning on people’s lives. More poignantly, he has seen what can happen when such matters are left to chance.Using famous historical characters, placing them in recognizable situations and using real life case histories, he explains the organization and procedure of Trusts simply and easily bringing his subject alive by putting it in a perspective that is easily assimilated by the layman. Terry O'Halloran clearly explains the intricacies of Trusts and confronts their realities with reallife examples such as a family case involving a number of exwives, a business partnership that goes very expensively wrong and even the attempted murder of a director and removal of the wouldbe assassin (as a Trustee). Building the full picture from simple steps, the author explains the merits or otherwise of trusts and their uses with life assurance and pension products. “Trusts are the most important adjunct to life assurance, business protection, estate planning and pension provision. A basic understanding is essential,” he insists. After searching in vain for a book for his own use, the need for a reference book on this subject was clear. “I needed a reference book that I could refer to during the working day but which would also be simple enough for any of my clients to understand. So I wrote one – in fact I had to write it because there was simply nothing suitable in existence. Moreover, I use it all the time. My own copies are dogeared from use.” “I believe,’ Trusts’ is a practical tool for the professional’s everyday use and a good guide for the layman.
