We believe we can think ourselves happy but, in reality, the only way to experience true happiness is to become self-aware. The way we experience emotions remains a constant throughout our lives and it is by acknowledging this, and the different elements of our inner selves, that we can experience genuine contentment. Drawing on the author's research in psychology, and her work with clients, Being breaks down the four elements of self-awareness, and provides strategies for mastering each--

Why Meditate? The practice of meditation takes us on a fabulous journey into the gap between our thoughts, where all the advantages of a more peaceful, stress-free, healthy, and fatigue-free life are available—but they’re merely side benefits. The paramount reason for daily meditation is to get into the gap between our thoughts and make conscious contact with the creative energy of life itself. In this uplifting book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains the soul-nourishing meditation technique for making conscious contact with God, which the ancient masters have told us about. You have all the potential to be an instrument of the highest good for all concerned and to be a literal miracle worker in your own life. No person, government entity, or religious group can legitimately claim to do this for you. "In fact," says Dr. Dyer, "I agree with Carl Jung, who said that one of the main functions of formalized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God." (Dr. Dyer helps you have this direct experience by leading you through the meditation technique in the accompanying audio download.) When you master getting into the gap, stay there for prolonged segments of meditation, and experience what you bring back into the world, you’ll truly know the answer to the question: "Why meditate?

During these modern times when technological and intellectual advancements are at an all time high, symptoms of disconnection are also following suit. The lack of connection we have between our Mind, Body, Spirit impacts how we perceive ourselves, impacts our relationships, our health, the quality of our lives, our success levels, our wellness and our levels of happiness and joy. Unless we understand the role of the Mind and learn how to master it, it can steer us in the direction of chronic fear based emotion on subtler and grand scales, leading to suffering. The good news is that in order to positively impact our lives we need to deeply understand that our psychological make up is reflected in our external environment and that we are CREATORS who have the choice to change that. This book aims to bridge the gap between you and the deepest parts of you, to guide you towards your greatest, most loving relationship – the one that you have with yourself.

A revelatory new theory of consciousness that returns emotions to the center of mental life. For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime’s quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies. Solms is a frank and fearless guide on an extraordinary voyage from the dawn of neuropsychology and psychoanalysis to the cutting edge of contemporary neuroscience, adhering to the medically provable. But he goes beyond other neuroscientists by paying close attention to the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated, whose uncanny conversations expose much about the brain’s obscure reaches. Most importantly, you will be able to recognize the workings of your own mind for what they really are, including every stray thought, pulse of emotion, and shift of attention. The Hidden Spring will profoundly alter your understanding of your own subjective experience.

In ancient times, most people believed that if you traveled to the horizon, you would fall over the edge. This was a mirage that limited their lives. Today, the mirage that we all live by is the idea that "I will be happy when..." "I will be happy when I am married!" "I will be happy when I leave my job!" "I will be happy when I am on holidays!" This belief leads to us overthinking and overanalysing all the ways that we might be happier at some point in the future. But what if happiness is the wrong aim? What if happiness is like the horizon: an imaginary line that seems real until we start to chase it? Ali Walker shows that instead of seeking happiness in the future, we can focus on awareness in each moment, training ourselves to generate calming, positive and uplifting thoughts and emotions. Drawing on her research and her work with clients, Get Conscious breaks down the four elements of self-awareness and provides strategies for mastering them: Feel: honor all emotions Think: choose only positive thoughts Sense: trust the messages of your body Act: go with the flow of life and love Included are case studies, rituals, exercises and activities to help you tune into your inner wisdom and let self-awareness guide you to come alive. Get Conscious moves us out of overthinking and into awareness. Let it be the transformation of your lifetime.

You'll never see leadership the same way again after reading this book. These fifteen commitments are a distillation of decades of work with CEOs and other leaders. They are radical or provocative for many. They have been game changers for us and for our clients. We trust that they will be for you too. Our experience is that unconscious leadership is not sustainable. It won't work for you, your team or your organization in the long term. Unconscious leadership can deliver short term results, but the costs of living and leading unconsciously are great. Fear drives most leaders to make choices that are at odds with healthy relationships, vitality and balance. This fear leaves a toxic residue that won't be as easily tolerated in an increasingly complex business environment. Conscious leadership offers the antidote to fear. These pages contain a comprehensive road map to guide you to shift from fear-based to trust-based leadership. Once you learn and start practicing conscious leadership you'll get results in the form of more energy, clarity, focus and healthier relationships. You'll do more and more of what you are passionate about, and less of what you do out of obligation. You'll have more fun, be happier, experience less drama and be more on purpose. Your team will get results as well. They'll be more collaborative, creative, energized and engaged. They'll solve issues faster, and once resolved the issues won't resurface. Drama and gossip will all but disappear, and the energy and resources that fueled them will be redirected towards innovation and creativity. Any one of these commitments will change your life. All of them together are revolutionary. Leaders who practice the 15 commitments: - End blame and criticism - Speak candidly, openly and honestly, in a way that invites others to do the same - Find their unique genius - Let go of taking everything-especially themselves and their problems-so seriously - Create win for all solutions - Experience a new relationship to time and money where there is always enough What do you need to bring to the table? Be curious. Sounds so simple, and yet in our experience it's a skill few have mastered. Most of us are far more interested in being right and proving it, than we are in learning, growing and shifting out of our old patterns. By default we gravitate towards the familiar. We're asking you to take a chance and explore the unfamiliar. You'll get scared and reactive. We all do. So what? Just stay curious and let us introduce you to a whole new world of leadership.
