New Thought proponents at the turn of the 20th century sought to
use mysticism to unleash the forces of the universe in themselves.
One of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age"
philosophy promises here, in this 1913 book, to show the reader how
to cultivate the memory in such a way as to improve one's entire
life. Atkinson's method is not geared to mere recollection of
facts: it encourages a holistically "correct seeing, thinking, and
remembering." With secrets hidden for almost a century, this book
will teach you to train the eye as well as the ear to improve your
ability to recall names, faces, numbers, music, facts, and much
more. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was born
in Baltimore and had built up a successful law practice in
Pennsylvania before professional burnout led him to the religious
New Thought movement. He served as editor of the popular magazine
New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and as editor of the journal
Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New
Thought books-including The Philosophies and Religions of India,
Arcane Formula or Mental Alchemy and Vril, or Vital Magnetism-under
numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today.
An exciting new science-driven guide to protecting your mind from
decline. 'Fascinating' Daily Mail Throughout our lives, we are
always looking for ways to keep our mind sharp and effortlessly
productive. In this book, globetrotting neurosurgeon Dr Sanjay
Gupta offers insights from top scientists all over the world, whose
cutting edge research can help you heighten and protect brain
function and maintain cognitive health at any age. Keep Sharp
debunks common myths about ageing and cognitive decline, explores
whether there's a 'best' diet or exercise regimen for the brain,
and explains whether it's healthier to play video games that test
memory and processing speed, or to engage in more social
interaction. Discover what we can learn from 'super-brained' people
who are in their eighties and nineties but showing no signs of
slowing down - and whether there are truly any benefits to drugs,
supplements and vitamins. Dr Gupta also addresses brain disease,
particularly Alzheimer's, answers all your questions about signs
and symptoms, and shows you both how to ward against it and how to
care for a partner in cognitive decline. The book also provides
readers with a personalized twelve-week programme featuring
practical strategies to strengthen your brain every day. Keep Sharp
is the only owner's manual you'll need to keep your brain young and
healthy at any age!
An insightful and inspiring book on using "both/and" thinking to
make more creative, flexible, and impactful decisions in a world of
competing demands. Life is full of paradoxes. How can we each
express our individuality while also being a team player? How do we
balance work and life? How can we improve diversity while promoting
opportunities for all? How can we manage the core business while
innovating for the future? For many of us, these competing and
interwoven demands are a source of conflict. Since our brains love
to make either-or choices, we choose one option over the other. We
deal with the uncertainty by asserting certainty. There's a better
way. In Both/And Thinking, Wendy Smith and Marianne Lewis help
readers cope with multiple, knotted tensions at the same time.
Drawing from more than twenty years of pioneering research, they
provide tools and lessons for transforming these tensions into
opportunities for innovation and personal growth. Filled with
practical advice and fascinating stories-including firsthand tales
from IBM, LEGO, and Unilever, as well as from startups, nonprofits,
and even an inn at one of the four corners of the world-Both/And
Thinking will change the way you approach your most vexing
problems.
The words are on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't quite remember them. You've been there a hundred times, so why did you take the wrong turn? Outwardly, as people age they may be looking and feeling younger than their parents' generation--60 is the new 40, after all--but mental decline can begin as early as age 30, and it will impact everyone at some point. The increasing rate of dementia is sobering, and the personal, financial, and societal stakes are high.
The good news is, just like diet and exercise can keep aging bodies healthier, the proper mental regimen can slow--even reverse--the deterioration of our mental capacity. In this practical and hopeful book, Dr. Frank Minirth gives readers trustworthy scientific insights, helpful assessments to measure mental sharpness, and proven strategies to preserve focus, memory, and brain power at every age. Each chapter includes brain boosters, exercises, and challenges, as well as engaging personal stories.
Who is God anyway? The old man who created the world in six days
and then took Sunday off, or the one who thinks that a man equals
two women? What if it was us who created God in our own image and
not the opposite? The prolific interpretations of God with their
fear-based distortions support this theory. What if the universal
recipe for life and happiness--or the carrot that donkeys worldwide
are pursuing--were as illusionary and deceitful as the numerous
personas of God? What if both our fear-based constructs of God and
reality were seeded on purpose in order to enslave us in a matrix
of cognitive distortions? If so, who benefits from keeping us
energetically harnessed?
This book explores the true nature of God as a consciousness
that steps down into manifested form through a basic understanding
of the mechanics of co-creation. It also explores the mechanics of
miscreation, along with the inorganic nature and consequences of
fear, including physical phenomena like the formation of black
holes and metaphysical ones like the biblical fall.
A set of tools is provided for those who wish to detangle
themselves from the matrix of fear-based consciousness by
reclaiming their initial state of mastery and godhood and becoming
the architects of their life in this physical realm and beyond.
Information is the highest form of power. From the moment it is
acquired, life becomes entirely magical.

Carlos A. Santiago, a former military interrogator and former
senior instructor at the U.S. Army's interrogation school, has
spent years "breaking" detainees and training other interrogators
how to quickly go beyond masks and defense mechanisms to break the
resolve of the most hardened terrorists and criminals. Along the
way, he has developed a unique perspective on human nature, about
what makes us susceptible to the will of others - what makes us
both vulnerable and invincible. In Your Indestructible Core, Carlos
A. Santiago reveals how to reverse our social conditioning and make
us "unbreakable" in life. Your Indestructible Core challenges our
views on pain, fear, anger and our social conditioning to become
slaves of the opinions of others. This book will help you uncover
your deepest drives - those impulses the world has been using to
control and regulate us and will teach you how to take charge of
your deepest core, once and for all.

pursuits might be unfruitful. This collection shows that all the
creative powers and self-determination is our cosmic inheritance,
our birthright. It is all knowable.
