Tap into your inner power with this mind-opening guide to
vibrational-based living from Instagram star and self-help pioneer
behind the internet community Vibrate Higher Daily. "There is
another way of being in the world. There is a better way to exist,
rise, move beyond, and take our power back." Too often we feel
pulled down by circumstances or the negativity of others. We think
we have no control over the things that are hurting us and holding
us back from realizing our truest selves. But according to Lalah
Delia, we have more power within us than we know: listen to your
unique inner voice and trust your instincts. By doing so, you're
already experiencing the transformative power of vibrational-based
living. Vibrating higher daily is about making intentional
day-to-day choices that lift us out of mindsets, habits, and
lifestyles that don't serve us and into ones that do. This book is
an invitation to engage with everything that feeds our soul and
raises our vibration, and to simultaneously let go of the things
bringing our energy down. Through poetry, mantras, and
affirmations, Lalah Delia empowers us to live with higher potential
and quality of being. Vibrate Higher Daily is a manifesto unlike
any other for stepping into our power.

What is it like to be an Enneagram Three? Pastor Sean Palmer
reflects on this question in a spirit of honest self-assessment. He
draws wisdom from the deep wells of both counseling and
spirituality using illustrations from Scripture and life. Each of
the forty daily readings concludes with an opportunity for further
engagement such as a journaling prompt, a written prayer, or a
spiritual practice. Any of us can find aspects of ourselves in any
of the numbers. The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so
whether or not you are a Three, you will grow from your reading
about Threes and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram
spectrum.
The world is changing, and I am in the kitchen roasting carrots
with olive oil, salt, and love. The silver kettle is just beginning
to steam, and a glass vat of sage honey awaits the dip of my
Grandma Lena's long, golden spoon." - Jules Blaine Davis The
kitchens we grew up with set the template for how we nourish
ourselves today. It is in the kitchen that we learn to create,
feed, connect, grieve, taste, long, and love. Look at your
relationship with your kitchen, and you uncover the unconscious
recipe guiding your life. With The Kitchen Healer, Jules Blaine
Davis invites women to find greater nourishment in body and soul by
deepening their relationships with the hearth of the home, the
kitchen. Though the book contains recipes - with ingredients both
traditional and emotional - this is not a cookbook. This is a book
about cooking up the life we deeply long to live. Davis believes
that how we were or weren't nourished in our childhood kitchens
shapes every aspect of our lives today, and it is through the
kitchen that we may find healing from the stress, trauma, guilt,
and overwhelm that so many of us carry through our lives. Through
heartfelt guidance and photographs that perfectly capture the love
and chaos our kitchens contain, Davis shows us that by making the
kitchen the centerpiece of our homes, we are nourished far beyond
food and cooking.
"Finding Your Way in a Wild New World "reveals a remarkable path to
the most important discovery you can make: the knowledge of what
you should be doing with your one wild and precious life. It's the
thing that so fulfills you that, if you knew what it was, you'd run
straight toward it through brambles and fire. Life coach and
bestselling author of "Finding Your Own North Star "Martha Beck
guides you to find out how you got to where you are now and what
you should do next, with clear instructions on tapping into the
deep, wordless knowledge you carry in your body and soul.

power that could change the world--you lack only the tools. With
her sparkling prose, Beck draws from ancient wisdom and modern
science to help you consciously tap into that power and develop
those tools for transformation." "You'll also find your inner
identity and your external "tribe" of like-minded people,

the demands of family life or running a busy household. And then

to make and maintain friendships. The Little Book of Friendship
offers guidance for when the scales of life are tipped and a moment

koan ("What is the sound of one hand clapping?"), The Little Book
of Zen points to a calming way of looking at the world. Each page
features a quote, phrase, story, koan, haiku, or poem, interspersed
with essays on the Buddha, Zen arts, significant masters, and more.
The feeling is that of a meditation book with 2,500 years of wisdom
- from Lao-tzu to Lily Tomlin. It's a celebration of intuition: "If
a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on, he must close his

"Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek
what they sought." - Basho. And self-discovery: "We already have
everything we need." - Pema Cho dro n. New material is taken from
contemporary spiritual leaders, writers, meditation teachers, and
others with an emphasis on the practice of mindfulness - on the
heart, rather than the head. Pen and ink illustrations from the
author bring an additional layer of feeling and beauty.

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of
Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the
people around you Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of
readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential
texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns
to the most important subject of all - understanding people's
drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them
themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our
relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is
the most important tool we can possess, without which our other
talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and
examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and
many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own
emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that
leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to
resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose.
Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around
you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success,
self-improvement, and self-defense.
