by Wayne W. Dyer
Amazon Price: $10.20
Customer Review: Wayne Dyer's meditations create a sense of inner peace and contemplation. By pausing for a few minutes a day, I find that my productivity increases and my creativity flourishes. By clearing the mind and opening your spirit to divine wisdom, answers are discovered effortlessly and easily. I feel the difference when I use this CD and other CD's of Wayne Dyer or Jack Canfield and Deb Sandella.

Customer Review: I love this CD! Everyone who hears this loves it and listens to it over and over!

Customer Review: After the somewhat dismal Memory of Trees I was hoping for a comeback.
Didn't happen!
The same exact disc as Memory. Just as dull and uninspired. The mandatory happy opening song. The obligatory spooky second song.
Nothing new or innovative here.
Get her first three. Enya is just cashing in at this point.

Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: This is very worthwhile if you are struggling to break free of self-limiting habitual thoughts and actions. It's not cure, but it's a process.
by Lori Lite
Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: This cd is a miracle. I have a four year old and a six year old who have a very difficult time falling asleep and allowing themselves to relax. It is a struggle every night. If I didn't see this for myself, I would have never believed it. Within ten minutes, both of my children were fast asleep. Lori's voice is very relaxing and I can't wait to order another cd.
Amazon Price: $20.99
Customer Review: Fantastic! Will watch again and again. If you like "Ask and it is Given" and Esther & Jerry Hicks, you will love this dvd. Highly recommend.

Customer Review: ...Then he can experience the menstrual cycle firsthand and may not be so enamored of it. There's nothing like getting in touch with your inner goddess while curled into a ball in bed. And agonizing cramps do indeed make you ''present''! Trust me, you don't dwell in the future or the past when the menses descend.
Honestly, can anyone get through this book without laughing aloud at certain points? I do not denigrate the search for spirituality, but never before have I heard it delivered by someone so humorless and pompous. Pass me the Midol...

Amazon Price: $9.00
Customer Review: EG shares her journey about the purpose of pleasure, spirituality and love in her life. This book helped me reflect on my own values. I will re-read it after enjoying the first reading so I can spend more time with the questions she raises in a most entertaining manner.
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Amazon Price: $17.79
Customer Review: The research based information on the psychology of marketing, buying and selling that are described in the first two chapters are little known, facinating and extremely useful for those at many levels. Detailed discussions of "decoys" in marketing products, the relative comparisons involved in almost all buying decisions and the incredible effects of "free" merchandise such as Amazon's free shipping are given in an interesting and engaging way. After that the impact and interest of the information declines with each chapter and by chapter 7 it is hard to tell what the focus of the book (audio) is. A guess would be that after chapter three it just goes on to whatever the author found interesting and researched.
by Wayne W. Dyer
Amazon Price: $17.79
Customer Review: Great and easy read. What I got out of this is that you should focus on the present and be conscious of your day. As the title suggest you can change your life by changing your thoughts, positive thoughts. This so reminds me of my favorite book on this subject,Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook.
by Eckhart Tolle
Amazon Price: $11.56
Customer Review: 'Stillness Speaks' by Eckhart Tolle reminds you that in order to remain in touch with who you really are you must consciously remain in touch with
your inner stillness. In order to do this you are reminded to 'Get out of your head and into the moment.'
Wonderful spiritual insights and practical ways to embrace the teachings by bringing the practice of inner stillness into your everyday life.
This book reinforces and deepens the understanding found in his previous book 'The Power of Now.'
Great for effectively overcoming fear and ending suffering in order to experience peace & joy.
Most recommended and totally awesome!

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)
by Eckhart Tolle
Amazon Price: $10.88
Customer Review: Practicing the Power of Now is a handy companion to Eckhart's wildly popular The Power of Now. Essentially, Practicing the Power of Now contains the same information as in the first book. However, I have to say that I prefer this format. The first book was written in a question answer format. These questions came from the author's students. He also included amalgamated questions that covered a variety of common queries. These question and answer sessions gradually took the reader from common perception through to an understanding of the illusions that we generally accept as real and the importance of the present moment.
Practicing the Power of Now is written in formalized chapters summarizing much of the material written that first book such as being and enlightenment; the origin of fear, entering the now, dissolving consciousness, etc. The best quotations, mediations, and exercises first previously presented are also included.

Amazon Price: $13.57
Customer Review: I'd like to express my deep thanks to the author for this compassionate, insightful and very practical book.
I am using this book in conjunction with congnitive therapy for to recover from a 3+ year bout of depression and have found it very helpful. I cannot say it will be as insightful for everyone who reads it but for me I found it provided a very accurate description of what I was experiencing and has given me some very practical advice on how to climb out from a very painful mental state. I'd suggest that you use this book in connection with some actual therapy but can see how it would be useful as a stand-alone self help book if you're properly motivated.
by Louise Hay
Amazon Price: $6.95
Customer Review: If I could give no stars, I would. I'm putting this review on each of Louise Hay's titles to warn people who fall into believing that this is a caring, compassionate person. I met her recently at an event and was about to compliment her on one of the books her company publishes that Dr. Dyer wrote for children. Louise Hay was so incredibly rude to me before I even got to open my mouth that I was shocked. The woman seemed to be only about capitalism, power and ego and, though I had been a previous customer of her publishing company, I will NEVER purchase anything by them again nor will I recommend them. I will not give money to someone so ill-behaved, let alone someone who's telling others to be nice when they haven't learned that lesson themselves. Louise Hay, I hope someone on your team shares this with you. You should be ashamed of yourself for being so nasty!
By contrast, I have dealt with the people at Sound's True a zillion times and all of them are as nice as can be and behave in accordance with their products. I spoke with their people at the same event (and others before it) and they were all lovely.
And, no, I do not work for or am in any way compensated by Sound's True. I simply people should know the truth about who practices what they preach and who doesn't. In my opinion, Hay's behavior was one step down from Cruella De Ville. If you're shocked reading that, imagine how shocked I was experiencing it from her.
by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Amazon Price: $13.60
Customer Review: I am about half way through this book - it was a little bit of a culture shock to get into this way of thinking and acting, but I am enjoying the challenge and think that it has already got me thinking about how I deal with stress and everday events - I have been dealing with some serious medical issues, and need to reduce my stress - I believe this will help - the psychologist who recommended it to me thought very highly of it and was convinced I would benefit from it - I think I will....

Amazon Price: $12.24
Customer Review: This is a great book. I especially love the yoga plans given in the end and prescriptions. Great buy. If you truly want to link in to hatha yoga. Get this.
