If asked, who among us wouldn't say we were kind people? But kindness is often manifested in feelings of pity or sympathy--especially when others are watching--rather than in deeds. And when it comes down to it, what good does mere feeling do for the world? Your Next 24 Hours is about something much bigger--a lifestyle of kindness, without thought of reciprocation, extended toward every person in our lives, both friend and foe. Through powerful true stories of kindness lived out, this book shows readers the enormous difference they can make through small, doable acts of kindness in their families, communities, workplaces, schools, and churches. It shows how every encounter with another person is an opportunity to be kind--and a chance to change our world. Readers of Your Next 24 Hours will find deep satisfaction and joy as they discover how they can be part of a revolution of kindness that starts with them and reaches out through every person their lives touch.
Are you suffering the loss of a loved one? Feeling terribly isolated and shameful about your secret grief? Do you believe you should be over it? Are you considering seeing a therapist but believe you must be crazy to enter psychotherapy? Are you afraid to let a therapist know it's been a very long time since you lost your loved one and you are still feeling lonely and devastated? Are you afraid a psychotherapist will judge you-that he or she may find out you are soothing yourself by some unacceptable behavior? Have you stopped going to church? Cut yourself off from community and possibilities that have nurtured your spirit in the past? Are you just plain feeling badly about yourself? Have you ever felt any of these things? "Myself Help" is the story of anyone who has heard a critic in their mind, felt guilty about certain choices they've made, or felt loneliness while surrounded by loved ones. Dana Anderson shares her personal story while providing helpful tools for growth and healing. "Myself Help" is an inspirational tale told with humor.
Welcome to your new journey. This book has many stories of triumph and success. It follows my life story, along with many others, to show how we all changed our lives through craziness, diversity, loss, grief, break-ups, heartache, devastation, health issues, eating disorders, abuse, addictions, and the list goes on. Living in the now is what works for me. If you are not happy with your life as it is now, perhaps modifying just one viewpoint or outlook can help you discover and live your life's purpose. Isn't it worth at least giving it a shot to reap the rewards the same way we did. We all have a past, but we need to focus on the present. My hope is that you recognize a piece of yourself in one of us and realize that if we can change our lives for the better; you can too ANYONE CAN

I have known Dr. Massey for a number of years. During that time, he
had quietly and consistently completed an amazing number of
incredible humanitarian projects while conducting a very successful
professional life. While serving as the school superintendent of
the largest K-8 public school system in California, I asked him how
he found the time and resources to help so many of the children in
my district. Mind Realignment - Naked Secrets for Building a Better
You is his answer to my question. It is a remarkable collection of
thought and advice intended to unleash the power within you. I have
met many people who enrich the world through serving their fellow
man. But very few have succeeded in accomplishing the goals that
they set for themselves and almost no one sets the bar as high as
Dr. Massey. I urge you to read this book. I will be applying its
message chapter by chapter, day by day to my own life and work. Dr.
Massey is a tough act to follow, but he has left a trail for us to
take, if we will only aspire to making the world a better place.
If you are looking for practical wisdom, incisive insight,
hearty encouragement and wisdom both current and past, look no
further Drawing widely from many sources as well as using his own
pen, Manzoor Massey has provided us all with what we much
need-wisdom for life. This book will, no doubt, bless and inspire
and challenge and change you. Randall L. Roberts, Senior Pastor
Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California Dr. Massey's "Mind Realignment - Naked Secrets for Building a
Better You" is to the serious person what the power-bar is to the
devoted athlete. It is full of succinct and powerful statements
packed with energy. All it takes to fall upon a pearl of wisdom is
to just open a page and look anywhere and it lands on the bull's
eye each time. The reflection given to digest it, and the effort
spent in applying it, is bound to be rewarded with lasting inner
healing.

A Respite in Time allows you to escape and find a quiet refuge as you immerse yourself in the author's comments on life. These are relayed through short vignettes, which consist of small snippets of life captured in words. They include kernels of wisdom garnered from life experiences; descriptions and observations generated from travel adventures; and heart-warming interactions with loved ones and strangers. At times you will smile, and other times you will ponder. There is also woven into the content a universal, spiritual strand regarding life's journey and the understanding that evolves. The book is organized so that it can be read non-sequentially, start in the front, the middle or back if you desire. The vignettes first appeared in my newsletter, the Poetical Journal, which is distributed to thousands of subscribers in seventy-two countries and all fifty states. As you read, we will be having a private conversation - a social interaction - my words and your thoughts and reactions. Where they take you will be your personal adventure. A Respite in Time ultimately speaks to a mystical, quiet place
where water for the soul is plentiful. As you read through these
personal stories, you may be reminded of similar experiences. May
you smile. In this high stress world where almost everything is
time driven - rush . . . rush - may you also discover moments of
respite and calmness.
The expression "Words have power" holds special meaning for author Helen Evrard. When she found herself under suicide watch in a locked ward after losing everything, while receiving suboptimal care for chronic depression and pain, she discovered the power of positive words. Insightful therapists helped her start on the road to recovery, beginning with the simple process of writing down positive words as she fi lled the empty hours in the hospital with reading. "Positive Matters" explores eighty words of a deeply affirmative nature, starting with the definition and etymology of each. This is followed by inspirational quotations from both famous and lesser known people statements that can make you see the word from a novel viewpoint. Evrard then presents a short, personal reflection on the word in which she shares the meanings, lessons, and valuable insight that arose out of illness, loss, and renewal. Intended as a tool to empower personal transformation or to just lift your spirits, "Positive Matters" helps you explore, learn, and investigate the incredible, positive power of words.
This book compares the influence of the period leading up to World War II and of the war itself on the discipline of psychology in two major, but very different countries. During the 1930s, Soviet psychologists were formally isolated from developments in Western psychology by the ideological requirements of the Communist Party; in the United States, a vast variety of topics was being researched. When the war began, the discipline in the Soviet Union turned increasingly toward specialized topics, such as the rehabilitation of the wounded, ways to improve morale, and the psychological basis of color-camouflage. American psychologists, on the other hand, applied their psychometric and clinical skills to military needs. With the coming of "glasnost," American and Russian psychologists were able to collaborate to create the first thorough examinations of the state of wartime psychology in these countries. Of interest to all students and researchers of the history of psychology, psychological theory, and the history of World War II.
Based upon the works of some of the world's greatest thinkers, Lessons from Sedona: A Spiritual Pathway to Serenity and Contentment by author Lewis Tagliaferre, builds on the success of his first volume, Voices of Sedona. This new, comprehensive collection of essays is designed to teach the fundamental principles of Theofatalism-the belief that God runs everything in the universe from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest interstellar galaxy. The essays link the five principles developed in Voices of Sedona to contemporary issues in society and personal living including politics, science, religion, aging, history, and economics. Useful for both self-study and as lesson guides to be used in organized discussion groups, the essays show the world as it really is from many different perspectives. A comprehensive and formidable source on metaphysics and spirituality, Lessons from Sedona: A Spiritual Pathway to Serenity and Contentment provides a plethora of information for those interested in growing, changing, and transcending the limiting constrictions of consensus beliefs. It communicates humankind's unique place in time and space and their special role in the giant jigsaw puzzle of life.
