How would you like to hear a conversation between two of the top three most influential spiritual people alive? The new Hay House CD set “The Importance of Being Extraordinary” gives you that opportunity. Wayne Dyer jokes about this designation that he first saw on the internet. “You’re listening right now to the third most influential spiritual person alive,” Dyer …
Greg Kuhn’s book “Why Quantum Physicists Do Not Fail” could easily be called “Quantum Physics for Dummies”. Yes, I’m a dummy when it comes to understanding quantum physics, and Kuhn gives the best treatment I’ve read yet of explaining this complex topic in simple language. More importantly, he shows how quantum principles can be used to improve our lives. “This …
“I love you, Tim, and I am proud of you. You have shown great courage to get to where you are, and you have so much more life yet to live.” I now have a mirror by my desk where I look myself in the eye and say little affirmations like this during the day. Does this sound strange? If …
Tama Kieves had it made. A Harvard Law School graduate, she had achieved what most people would consider “success” – a well paying position with a large firm. But something inside told her there was more to life than filing legal briefs and earning a big pay check. In “This Time I Dance!: Creating the Work You Love” Kieves tells …
“Activate your inner Beyoncé,” minister Cynthia James encouraged us to do in a talk I attended awhile back at Mile Hi Church in Denver. Reverend Cynthia wanted us to express ourselves to the fullest. “Don’t restrict it – Beyoncé holds nothing back!” she said. Until yesterday’s Super Bowl I had never seen Beyoncé perform. Wow!

Meditating. All activities I really get into. But lately I haven’t been praying much. So I decided I want to learn more about prayer. One of my “podcast ministers” …
Whenever an inspirational speaker comes to town I try to attend. I’ve seen Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, and others in recent years. Thanks to the new DVD Awaken Soul to Soul I didn’t have to leave home to hear the words of nine of today’s most progressive thinkers. “We are the lucky generation,” Barbara Marx-Hubbard says at the …
When I first picked up Carolyn Myss’ new book “Archetypes: Who are you?” I asked myself, do I really need another tool to examine what makes me tick? I’ve studied the enneagram, myers-briggs, psychology, and other introspective methods. What makes archetypes any different? I’m glad I quieted my inner skeptic and read Myss’ book. What I found was a fascinating …
Earlier this week I picked my five favorite books of the 21 reviews I had written on this blog in 2012. But there are other books I have read that I did not get around to reviewing. Here are my three favorites in this category, along with a mini-review for each: Joyous Freedom Journal For A Fuller Life by Petra …
I love reading books about spirituality and personal growth. While I still write posts about other topics, this blog has evolved into being primarily a site where I share my reviews (I wrote 21 reviews here in 2012). It was difficult to pick just five top books among the many good ones I read this year. Here are my selections. …
