Affirmations and declarations are powerful tools for personal change. They quite literally rewire the brain, allowing you to move toward that new you. Do you want to be more successful? Do you want to wake up every morning feeling happy and excited? Do you want to lose weight? In this book, Bennett, Bennett, and Wagner explain how to use affirmations and declarations to create a better life. Recent brain science sheds light on the brain’s neuroplasticity. This means that the physical brain can be rewired over time, literally changing who you are. But, how do you rewire the brain? Affirmations and declarations are two powerful tools to help your brain make this exciting change for the better. This also book explains common reasons why traditional advice about affirmations is ineffective, and why they are not really changing your brain. It also outlines the most effective ways to write and say your affirmations based on recent brain science. Also included is information on how to record your affirmations to create your very own self-hypnosis script. Bonus sections include the morning blitz, common questions and answers, and some effective sample weight loss declarations.
Philosopher-poet and cancer survivor, Mark Nepo opens a new season of freedom and joy–an escape from deadening, asleep-at-the wheel sameness–that is both profound and clarifying. His spiritual daybook is a summons to reclaim aliveness, liberate the self, take each day one at a time, and to savor the beauty offered by life’s unfolding. Reading his poetic prose is like being given second sight, exposing the reader to life’s multiple dimensions, each one drawn with awe and affection. The Book of Awakening is the result of his journey of the soul and will inspire others to embark on their own. Nepo speaks of spirit and friendship, urging readers to stay vital and in love with this life, no matter the hardships. Encompassing many traditions and voices, Nepo’s words offer insight on pain, wonder, and love. Each entry is accompanied by an exercise that will surprise and delight the reader in its mind-waking ability.The time when we walk in the shadow of death is, ironically, a time when we feel illuminated by life’s true meaning. Poet and philosopher Mark Nepo has firsthand experience with this mystery–he had cancer. During his arduous recovery, he sought inspiration and guidance that would reflect his growing appreciation of life. Although this daybook is exactly what Nepo longed for as he struggled with a difficult disease, , it can be appreciated by all readers.
This collection of essays, one for every day from January 1 through December 30, offers a poet’s sensibility and sensuality and gives the reader Nepo’s well-harvested wisdom. “Water reflects everything it encounters,” Nepo writes in a May 5 essay. “This is so commonplace that we think water is blue, when in fact it has no color…. But the water, the glorious water everywhere, has taught me that we are more than what we reflect or love. This is the work of compassion: to embrace everything clearly without imposing who we are and without losing who we are.” After each entry, Nepo offers a short list of suggestions or questions to help carry the essay into the day. There are many inspirational daybooks out there. What sets this one apart is the mature poet’s voice rising from a seasoned soul. –Gail Hudson
Humans are born mind readers. Our extraordinary ability to interpret the emotions, thoughts, and intentions of others is the basis of every personal and professional relationship we have – but this social intelligence is far from perfect. Now, in this fascinating study, Nicholas Epley introduces us to the latest research into the strengths and foibles of our social minds. He describes some of the common mistakes our minds make: how the socially active brain can go into overdrive and perceive “mind” in inanimate objects; how egocentrism can cause us to attribute our own beliefs to others, or leads us to believe that we are the center of attention; or that our embarrassing blunders are noticed by others who, in fact, are paying no attention to us at all. But he also suggests ways in which we can get past these errors, improve our social intelligence, and find the wisdom to better relate to our spouses, children, and colleagues – which, in turn, can lead us to a deeper understand of others, and of ourselves.
