A practical system for those with ADHD to take back their personal
power and embrace their unique talents for success in the modern
world * Explains how those with ADHD grow up wounded by the
negative labels and attitudes surrounding them and their
"diagnosis" * Shares simple and fast-acting techniques from
neurolinguistic programming (NLP) to recalibrate painful memories
into valuable learning experiences, re-pattern learned behaviors
and negative habits, and discover personal motivation * Reveals how
the novelty-seeking behaviors of those with ADHD are valuable
assets to society and should be embraced rather than suppressed One
of the first rules of child-rearing is "condemn the behavior, not
the child." Yet this commonsense rule doesn't seem to apply in the
case of attention deficit disorder, or ADHD, where the very name of
the condition implies that those labeled with it are "disordered,"
"deficient," and incapable of paying attention. Those with ADHD
grow up wounded, told by teachers, guidance counselors, even
parents that they are dysfunctional and unable to succeed in the
"normal" world. But, as ADHD expert Thom Hartmann explains, those
with ADHD are capable of great success if they can shift the
negative self-image created by others and learn to work with their
unique strengths. In this accessible guide for adults with ADHD and
the parents and teachers of ADHD children, Hartmann offers a
practical system of useful tools and strategies to heal the damage
done to a person who grew up labeled as "dysfunctional" and help
them cope with--and succeed at--daily life. He explains how the
character traits of ADHD were once valuable assets in
hunter-gatherer societies and that the later dominance of
agricultural and industrial societies, where "farmer" and "worker"
skillsets excel, left ADHD "hunters" as behavioral outcasts.
Sharing simple and often fast-acting techniques from
neurolinguistic programming (NLP), Hartmann explains how those with
ADHD can take back their personal power, recalibrate painful
memories into valuable learning experiences, shed fears and
negative habits, and rebuild their self-image in a positive way. By
integrating the strategies in this book into daily life, those with
ADHD can transform their way of responding to the world, discover
personal motivation, and teach their children to do the same. As
Hartmann reveals, it is not ADHD that needs to be healed but our
attitudes toward those born with the "hunter" gift.

Celebrating a century of eurythmy, a modern art of etheric movement
In the beginning was the Word . . . and the Word was with God . . .
and nothing that was made was made without the Word The human being
is an expression of the ever-unfolding wisdom of the creative
Logos, the Word. The whole of creation bears the imprint of the
cosmic sounding. This book describes a way, through movement and
gesture, to work with the creative, sounding principle that
manifests in the Earth's enveloping life sphere. Today, the
increasingly binding and hardening conditions of modern life now
threatens the divine seed of life here on Earth, which has been
fructified and developed over the millennia. Creation-coming to
expression through the flowering of the cosmic breath-is losing its
natural connection with humanity and with Mother Earth, which are
increasingly given over to anti-life forces, comprising
destruction, inversions, and lifeless replicas of creation's gifts.
The sacred movements described in this book arise from the modern
art of movement known as eurythmy (Greek: "good movement"), which
came into the world in 1912. These sacred gestures, when practiced
with the words gifted to humanity by the incarnated Logos two
thousand years ago, lead us back to our connection with the
fullness of creation and toward the goal of developing the body of
immortality, the resurrection body. In 2012, we celebrate the
one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of eurythmy. This book
invites us to partake of the richness of the sacred through
life-enhancing movement and gesture as a path to reconnect with the
cosmic formative forces that sound the call of resurrection. The
wealth of material included in this book educates the soul toward
awaking to a conscious understanding of humanity's divine heritage
and true calling. The exercises in this work provide a training
that ennobles and refines the qualities of the human soul. By
awaking, the soul gradually learns to respond to the call of the
World Soul that invites us to partake of divine wisdom and to
participate, through right action, in creation's unfolding toward
the ultimate goal: resurrection.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the leading figures in the thought
and literature of our civilisation. He was an essayist, critic,
poet, orator and popular philosopher. As a writer, he was always
concerned about his audience and his peers. Emerson's essays are a
series of loosely related impressions, maxims, proverbs and
parables. 'The Art of Successful Living' is a compilation of three
of his well-known essays -- Love, Friendship and Self-Reliance. In
these essays, he challenges and investigates the age-old traditions
and insists on the interpenetration of the ideal and the real, of
the spiritual and the material.

It was the last of the ebbing days, the brink of the new season. It
was the murky hours, the clove between sunset and sunrise. It was a
tall tree with deep roots and it had been bleeding for a long
while. As summer falls into autumn, Hollie Starling is hit by the
heart-stopping news that her father has died by suicide. Thrust
into a state of 'grief on hard mode', Hollie feels underserved by
current attitudes toward grief and so seeks another way through the
dark. Following her first year without her father, Hollie embraces
her lifelong interest in folklore and turns to the healing power of
nature, the changing seasons and the rituals of ancient
communities. The Bleeding Tree is an unflinching year-zero
guidebook to grief that shows us that by looking back to past
traditions of bereavement we can all find our own way forward.
After seven years of faithfully following her spiritual teacher,
Renee Linnell finally realized she was in a cult and had been
severely brainwashed. But how did that happen to someone like her?
She had graduated magna cum laude with a double degree. She had
traveled to nearly fifty countries alone before she turned
thirty-five. She was a surf model and a professional Argentine
tango dancer. She had started five different companies and had an
MBA from NYU. How could someone like her end up brainwashed and in
a cult? The Burn Zone is an exploration of how we give up our
power―how what started out as a need to heal from the loss of her
parents and to understand the big questions in life could leave a
young woman fighting for her sanity and her sense of self. In the
years following her departure from the cult, Linnell struggled to
reclaim herself, to stand in her truth, and to rebuild her life.
And eventually, after battling depression and isolation, she found
a way to come out the other side stronger than ever. Part
inspirational story, part cautionary tale, this is a memoir for
spiritual seekers and those who feel lost in a world that makes
them feel less than perfect.
