Secrets Of The People Whisperer: Using the art of communication to enhance your own life, and the lives of others
by Perry WoodIn 1990 Perry Wood shelved his music career to breed, break in and train horses. 'All my work with horses,' he says, 'has been about exploring deeper communication, learning to understand and influence another being for the mutual benefit of both parties. As time went on I realised that more communication was happening below the surface than people normally noticed. I started to apply these observations to the people who came to me to learn, at which point it was suggested that what I was doing with the horses and people would be transformational if it was brought into corporations.' He was right, it is! 'What I bring to this work is not only my learning from years of horse whispering and people-training but also the non-judgemental spiritual essence of unconditional love that is present in everything.'In Secrets of the People Whisperer, Perry Wood shows with unique simplicity how to listen to yourself, how to listen to others and - once you've mastered these skills - how to set goals and turn your life into a stunning success story.

The Secrets of Surviving Infidelity
by Scott HaltzmanAlong with changes in the workplace and the explosive growth of electronic communications, there has been a skyrocketing rate of infidelity. Today, up to forty percent of American marriages endure the pain of a cheating partner. The media is filled with stories of married politicians finding their "soul mates" and titillating instances of unfaithful celebrities. But in the homes of ordinary people everywhere, infidelity triggers complex emotions and events that affect everyone involved. Many marriage and personal therapists have adopted a "me first" mentality, prompting hurt spouses to end their relationships. Psychiatrist Scott Haltzman, retired Brown University professor, recommends exactly the opposite. The Secrets of Surviving Infidelity teaches both the victim and the perpetrator of infidelity how to acknowledge their feelings, reduce their sense of despair, and begin the difficult task of rebuilding a strong relationship.People who cheat act much like those who have other addictions, and brain scans of love-struck individuals show a dramatic increase in the release of dopamine, the same brain neurochemical associated with cocaine abuse. Haltzman does not excuse infidelity by labeling it a sex addiction; it’s not orgasm that drives a partner to cheat. Instead, Haltzman coins the term "flame addiction" to describe how, like a moth drawn to the light, people feel compelled to have extramarital intimacy despite all the negative consequences.People who have been cheated on feel shame, rage, and injured self-esteem. Many of them fear abandonment and find it hard to cope. When both partners have made a commitment to move forward together, however, Dr. Haltzman validates each person's feelings and puts them into perspective, offering sound advice on how to recover their equilibrium and reestablish a committed, trust-filled relationship.

Seeing Others: How to Redefine Worth in a Divided World
by Michèle LamontFrom internationally renowned sociologist Michèle Lamont, a game-changing argument about what we value and why How do we measure our self-worth? For many of us, it signifies accomplishment, self-reliance, and wealth. Decades of neoliberalism have driven our definition of success. Yet, as we have amassed more achievements, we have been overwhelmed and overworked in a world of growing inequality. Should we start judging others, and ourselves, differently? In this capstone work, acclaimed sociologist Michèle Lamont argues that it is time to move our focus from having to being. We will only heal ourselves by the power of recognition: by rendering others visible and valued. By drawing on nearly forty years of research and interviews, as well as new interviews with Gen Z, change agents, and cultural icons who intentionally practice and promote recognition, she shows how new narratives are essential to shifting our metrics of success to focus on respect and dignity. Seeing Others fills a gaping hole left by recent economic and psychological thinking, with its focus on nudging, grit, and constant striving, offering a powerful, sociological alternative.This book is a clarion call: it strikes at the heart of our struggles and illuminates an inclusive path forward.

Seitai: The Japanese Secret to Vital Intelligence for Improved Life and Health
by Laura López CotoWould you like to feel more alive? Try following Seitai, the Japanese secret to connect with your vital intelligence and improve your life and health. The practices of Seitai, Katsugen Undo and Yuki give you back your flexibility, renewing and revitalising the movements, between tension and relaxation, in our mind and body. Amongst other benefits, these Seitai practices can naturally relieve stress, anxiety and other issues related to the nervous system. They can also regulate our heartbeat, alleviate skin, urine, digestive and circulatory problems. Seitai also helps activate the sexual hormones responsible for youth and cell regeneration, and also helps diminish muscle pain and rheumatism. In this clear, concise and easy-to-read book written by the journalist and Seitai specialist, Laura López Coto, you will find the keys to this culture, which originated in Japan thanks to the highly innovative discoveries of the exceptionally gifted and perceptive master Haruchika Noguchi (Tokyo, 1911-1976). You will find that you can actually feel healthy in a far deeper way than you could possibly have imagined. Living this kind of life is easy, if you know how to.‘If you do not act with all your vigour, if you lack the awareness to give life to life through death, a state of health cannot be reached. It is possible to believe that the human being is alive thanks to its own will, but this is not so. A human being just lives; that is all. The spontaneous desire to live does not arise from the individual, but from a desire of Nature itself’ —Haruchika Noguchi (1911-1976), Founder of Seitai Culture‘I am convinced that Seitai, Master Noguchi’s Legacy, is the most innovative and significant spiritual culture that Humanity has received this century’ —Narciso Yepes (1927-1997), Guitar player and Seitai practicer‘Oh! What a surprise! All Japanese children speak Japanese. No need to worry! Planting the seeds of ability, with patience and repetition, the seed flourishes’ —Sinichi Suzuki (1898-1998), Creator of the Suzuki Method for understanding and learning music, philosopher and Seitai practicer‘I know where I am now. But if I hadn’t come to know Seitai 10 years ago, I don’t now where I’d be. Maybe I wouldn’t be here’ —Ricardo Sanz (1968), Journalist, Seitai practicer

by Nicholas Albery'It is better to give than to receive - especially advice.' MARK TWAIN. This book offers 366 tips - some in their own words, some favourite quotations; some maxims of every day life; some pithy, some profound, some philosophical. From poets to philosophers, from psychologists to Members of Parliament, from businessmen to novelists, the range of contributors cuts a wide swathe across all age-groups, professions, political affilitations and social backgrounds.

Anita Roddick, of the Body Shop, writes in her introduction: "I believe that most of us will find here at least one or two of what the poet William Blake called 'minute particulars', the small and useful details that can make a difference to a person's quality of life."
