Filled with specific advice and simple exercises, this groundbreaking guide from acclaimed neurologist Dr. Richard M. Restak draws on the latest scientific research to help maintain -- and increase -- brain power at any age. Contrary to common belief, the human brain does not necessarily deteriorate with age, but can work just as well, if not better than a young one. The key, says Dr. Restak, is keeping the brain active. His 30 practical suggestions offer a new and positive approach to mental fitness, by helping us to: -- Improve memory -- Reawaken intellectual curiosity -- Understand the role of genetics and diet in staying mentally fit -- Shatter the myths about Alzheimer's, strokes, insomnia, and depression -- Explore the pros and cons of various drug treatments -- Learn the ten secrets of successful aging -- Maintain a stimulating social network -- Expand the connections between neurons -- Keep the brain operating at peak level
When many people think of mental performance they simply focus on the level of intelligence that an individual can have. Little or no focus is placed on how the brain can be kept working at optimum capacity.
"Once you become aware of a thought that is limiting you in one way or another, you then have the power to change it." The thoughts and beliefs we have about ourselves and the world around us create our reality. That reality is the matrix in which we make choices that affect our life and our level of joy every day. Through her compelling personal stories, humor, and the vulnerable nature in which she shares pieces of her own life, Christine Sopa guides you on a journey of selfdiscovery where you will learn to use the power of your thoughts to achieve joy in an ever-changing world. Many of us have come to a point in our lives where we know we can look back but never go back. At this point, it is imperative to be able to see the bigger picture of your life, to understand that you deserve and have the power to create the world around you as you want it to be and that guidance is available to all of us every step of the way. All we have to do is learn how to listen. On this journey of self-exploration, you will learn to understand what barriers keep you from overcoming your deepest fears, how to use your emotions as a guide in making choices, and finally understand why you make the choices you do in your life. Choosing the Life You Were Born to Live gives away the secret to believing in yourself, how to make choices that will honor your highest path in life and why life shows up the way it does. If you are ready to transform your life once and for all, then this is the journey for you

2013 Reprint of 1919 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Although similar in title, theme and structure to his book Creative Mind, this is a completely different book. Creative Mind has more of a focus on Mental Healing. This book is principally about what is today called in New Age circles Prosperity Consciousness. Holmes discusses how to focus one's thoughts to create monetary wealth, as well as increase one's personal charisma to garner circles of friends. This little classic of New Thought is very similar to its successor, Think and Grow Rich, optimistic, self-empowering, and confident in its outlook.

The Sword of the Spirit demonstrates a very easy method for memorizing scripture while enabling a deeper understanding of His Word. It will change you. You will establish a secure and solid foundation in Christ. You will become spiritually stronger as you face different challenges throughout life in your walk with the Lord. You will be set free from long-term sin, habits, and attitudes that have weighed you down and affected your overall Christian experience. You will develop a new way of thinking and discover that old ways are becoming a thing of the past. You will experience victory rather than defeat. You will move on to maturity more easily. A twenty-five-year-old has reached adulthood, but he is not as mature as the fifty-year-old. That twenty-five-year-old should not be thinking or acting like a child that is five, ten, or fifteen years old. Nothing of those ages should influence his maturity level, or he will have difficulty making it in life-and he will know stress very well. The same applies to us as Christians if we are not actively forsaking old ways and developing new ways. Your arsenal for Christian maturity includes forgiveness, prayer, faith, resisting temptation, peace, enduring trials, renewing the mind, going forward, putting sin aside, and allowing God to live through you-just to name a few. They are the very essential basics. The scriptures chosen for memory will set you free from unnecessary burdens of self that hinder your moving forward in victory. As you memorize and meditate on these scriptures, you will be set free from emotional baggage that guide your feelings, thoughts, reactions and decisions. You are renewing your mind and you are being transformed. It is what takes place in you by the working of the Holy Spirit, God Himself, as you memorize His Word-a genuine "new you"
