  • Eben Alexander teams up with the sages of times past, modern scientists, and with ordinary people who have had profound spiritual experiences to show the reality of heaven and our true identities as spiritual beings, taking a broad view to reveal how modern science is on the verge of the most profound revolution in recorded history - all around the phenomenon of consciousness itself. When Dr. Eben Alexander told the story of his near-death experience and his vivid journey to the other side, many readers wrote to say it resonated with them profoundly. Thanks to them, Dr. Alexander realized that sharing his story allowed people to rediscover what so many in ancient times there is more to life, and the to the universe, than this single earthly life. Alexander and his co-author Ptolemy Tompkins were surprised to see how often his readers’ visions of the afterlife synced up with each other and with those of the world’s spiritual leaders, as well as its philosophers and scientists. Here, they share the stories people have told him and shows how they are echoed both in the world’s faiths and in its latest scientific insights. It turns out there is much agreement, across time and terrain, about the journey of the soul and its survival beyond death.
  • In this extraordinary work, Henry Reed draws on American psychic Edgar Cayce's inspiring words and principles to show how that it is possible to reach the higher self, understand the nature of the super and subconscious minds, be open to information passed from one realm to the other and to heal the self via the conduit of the soul, revealing the great, untapped power of the spirit can transform lives in very meaningful ways. The work was edited by Charles Thomas Cayce, grandson of Edgar.  
  • In this inspirational work, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer demonstrates how to restore a life balance by offering nine principles to align thoughts to correspond to desires. Imagine a balance scale with one end weighted down to the ground, and the other end - featuring the objects of your desires - sticking up precariously in the air. This scale is a measurement of your thoughts. To restore the same balance that characterises everything in our universe, you have to take up the weighty thoughts so that they match up to your desires. The seasons reflect the overall harmony of life. For example, winter passes and the blossoms emerge. This is balanced by a need to have the trees rest, so autumn arrives on time and helps the trees ready themselves for another period of repose. This book is dedicated to the idea that we’re a vital component of this creative process and have within ourselves the wherewithal to create all that we want if we recognize and revise out-of-balance thoughts.
  • For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth. He makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited - "Not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, says Manson. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience.  
  • From the rich arrays of history, myth, religion and story that makes up the Celtic tradition, Matthews brings together a selection of lesser-known and unusual writings rather than those more generally available.

  • Do you feel 'spaced out' after using strong household cleaners or a photocopier? Do you feel sick while having your car filled up with petrol or do you love the smell and can't get enough of it? Do you get headaches or ache all over after a day in the city? Since World War Two, our bodies have been assaulted by a barrage of previously unknown physical hazards — thousands of new chemicals in our air, water and food; electromagnetic radiation and changes in ultra-violet light conditions. This book explains how chemical sensitivities can have a profound and alarming effect on our social, emotional and intellectual development. It also discusses what we can do about it. The book offers a range of sensible and practical precautions we can take to minimize our chemical exposure, and encourages us to choose the least chemically hazardous options — or demand that satisfactory alternatives be made available.
