Manifestation is a growing worldwide phenomenon, with many around the world focusing this practice on great wealth and possession. But in this book, neurosurgeon and compassion expert Dr James Doty reframes manifesting as a daily practice, directing your attention to the tools and insights needed to manifest your own visions and improve your circumstances. James shows us how powerful inner dialogue and self-agency are keys to manifestation, inspiring change and positive transformation. Life is not something that simply 'happens' to us - we can cultivate practices that connect us to our 'inner compass'. When we work with the unconscious mind and use our powers of mental rehearsal and visualisation, we discover that material success not going to bring happiness - happiness comes from within! With guided meditations and journaling practices, you will feel empowered to create the life you deserve to have.

The Market Economy: A Reader outlines the characteristics and philosophical underpinnings of the market economy and its usefulness in the allocation of resources. This anthology offers a comprehensive set of authentic, primary source selections that demonstrate how the tenets of classical economic liberalism provide the foundation for an efficient economic system-while also maximizing individual freedom. The readings also provide a structure for analyzing economic and philosophical issues. The book includes selections from several authors who are not economists but whose work is important in terms of their contribution to economic thought, such as Henry David Throeau and Ayn Rand. It also features classic readings such as Adam Smith's invisible hand from his Wealth of Nations, David Ricardo's original explanation of comparative advantage from Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, and John Stuart Mill's eloquent expression of the limits of government in On Liberty. Latter day proponents of private enterprise include Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and Milton Friedman. These authors and others address how the market economy responds to such topical issues as the environment, income distribution, and free trade.
