Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of how ordinary people deal with everyday problems through self-mastery and mental health care practices. Everyday suffering—those conditions or feelings brought on by trying circumstances that arise in everyone’s lives—is something that humans have grappled with for millennia. But the last decades have seen a drastic change in the way we approach it. In the past, a person going through a time of difficulty might keep a journal or see a therapist, but now the psychological has been replaced by the biological: instead of treating the heart, soul, and mind, we take a pill to treat the brain. Chemically Imbalanced is a field report on how ordinary people dealing with common problems explain their suffering, how they’re increasingly turning to the thin and mechanistic language of the “body/brain,” and what these encounters might tell us. Drawing on interviews with people dealing with struggles such as underperformance in school or work, grief after the end of a relationship, or disappointment with how their life is unfolding, Joseph E. Davis reveals the profound revolution in consciousness that is underway. We now see suffering as an imbalance in the brain that needs to be fixed, usually through chemical means. This has rippled into our social and cultural conversations, and it has affected how we, as a society, imagine ourselves and envision what constitutes a good life. Davis warns that what we envision as a neurological revolution, in which suffering is a mechanistic problem, has troubling and entrapping consequences. And he makes the case that by turning away from an interpretive, meaning-making view of ourselves, we thwart our chances to enrich our souls and learn important truths about ourselves and the social conditions under which we live. Praise for Chemically Imbalanced “Chemically Imbalanced is an excellent addition to the works in social sciences and humanities that examine the distress of ordinary Americans from the second half of the twentieth century onward, a period when commercialized pills and the psychology-based notion of self-improvement entered the minds of Americans.” —Metascience “Chemically Imbalanced raises important questions, offers new insight into the power and reach of the biomedical model and neurobiological thinking, and I highly recommend it. I encourage readers to assign it, especially in graduate-level mental health and illness classes—or any class looking for a discussion on people’s experiences with suffering and the broad impacts of biomedical thinking and treatment.” —Social Forces

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR LIFE? In Secrets of Self-Mastery, Mitch Horowitz, one of today's most literate voices of self-help and practical spirituality, produces a powerful and immensely useful guide to heightening your persuasiveness, abilities, business acumen, charisma, and overall ability to attract backing, money, customers, and clients. Secrets of Self-Mastery, the third volume in the Napoleon Hill Success Course series, highlights, updates, and adds to the most powerful ideas in Think and Grow Rich, while staking out new ground in the field of success philosophy. Mitch provides immensely revealing and actionable ideas that can place you at the gravitational center of your field. Moreover, he explores how to pursue success with nobility, ethics, and a code of honor. "We often hear that a single idea can change a life, or change the world," Mitch writes. "That's an inspiring thought-but it's incomplete." In Secrets of Self-Mastery Mitch probes the lives of entrepreneurs, artists, and military leaders to demonstrate how to bridge the divide that separates ideas from action-and how to unite the two to reach your apex of success.

Book excerpt: • Doña Bernadette Vigil, the working partner of don Miguel Ruiz and a fully initiated Nagual woman, reveals the authentic tradition of Toltec self-mastery. • Includes exercises from the ancient spiritual path that take the practitioner from Jaguar Knight and Eagle Knight through Nagual Master. • Provides a program of 11 Agreements for continuing the spiritual journey. The Toltec people of ancient Mexico possessed powerful knowledge, passed down secretly through generations of Naguals, that enabled them to achieve a remarkable psychic and spiritual balance. These spiritual warriors learned to discipline their thoughts and emotions, channeling their energy into unconditional love for themselves and others and transforming their world in the process. With the understanding of one who has walked the path, dona Bernadette Vigil--a full Nagual, or shaman, in the Toltec tradition--guides readers through the effective training techniques practiced by Toltec warriors for centuries. By following the practices of the spiritual warrior, readers will experience the amazing sense of peace and contentment that comes from finally breaking free from layers of self-limiting thoughts and fulfilling their true potential as human beings. More than a handbook for personal change, Mastery of Awareness challenges readers to transform the collective dream of the planet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kundalini is a powerful pool of energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine. For thousands of years the Awakening of the Kundalini has been enshrouded in myth and mystery. The simple fact is that Awakening the Kundalini really isn't that hard! People do it all the time completely by accident. What can be extremely difficult is learning to deal with the changes that an Awakened Kundalini can bring about in your life. Robert Morgen had a Kundalini Awakening during a near-death experience in 1992 and then spent the next decade on a quest to understand what had happened and how to adjust to the changes in his life. "The kundalini can show you why you're here, what life is really all about and help unveil the mysteries surrounding our everyday lives. This book can teach you to calm your mind, improve your health and develop abilities that most people aren't even aware of," says Morgen. Using the exercises in this book, the dedicated Seeker (that's YOU) can not only learn to tap into these hidden reserves of energy, but do so safely and efficiently. The topics covered include: .Meditation Basics: unlocking your inner power .Kundalini and Enlightenment .Developing your Self-Awareness .Seeing and feeling energy .Complete Self Acceptance .Opening and Balancing the Chakras .And much more. "Personal Mastery is an incremental process," says Morgen. "Rather than making huge, unsustainable changes, it's all about developing your true self and becoming the person you were meant to be. No matter who or where you are, your path to your own personal mastery starts right NOW!"
