What do fishing with an otter, sitting atop a mountain at dawn with
eighty Taiwanese backpackers, and driving home from Aldo Leopold's
Shack have to say about the evolution of a personal environmental
philosophy? Essays to My Daughter on Our Relationship With the
Natural World provides a series of reflections by an environmental
educator about lessons learned from time spent in nature.
Originally conceived as personal letters to the author's daughter,
this collection presents ethical questions outdoor enthusiasts
regularly face as they work and play in the natural world. The
essays in this book explore environmentalism in a modern-day
context, with topics including sustainability education, the
current relevance of environmental writers from the past, and the
uncertainty of what is meant by words like "naturalist,"
"solitude," and "wilderness." There is no attempt to direct readers
to any particular environmental philosophy. Instead, Simpson
encourages readers to articulate their own perspective based on
personal experiences in nature. Though Essays to My Daughter is
written by a father to his daughter, the insights within the
volume-and the questions they provoke-are valuable to all members
of the next generation as they grapple with their own relationship
to the natural world.

Do you ever have that frustrating feeling that you deserve more
from life with the efforts that you have made, or that you are not
even sure what you want? Do you ever feel that your life is missing
something crucial, but you can't put your finger exactly on what it
is? Push at Open Doors is about how to get what you want the easy
way, by using mindfulness. These desires are always variations
around the themes of your success, health, wealth, and happiness.
Millions of people have used mindfulness to achieve success
throughout history. They did not have to pay fortunes for these
secrets, they just had to discover how to use their minds more
effectively. Surprisingly it is a lot easier than you might expect.
We can all think of times in the past when doors opened so
effortlessly for us, as if by magic, and can remember with joy the
priceless treasures that were waiting on the other side.
Unfortunately we can also remember the many other doors that
remained closed, despite our best efforts to prise them open. Of
course there is a reason for the difference. Some doors attracted
you at a deep unconscious level, and were just waiting for you to
open them. Others repelled you, but you were so busy with your
hectic life that you missed the signs. You unwittingly made your
life a lot more complicated than necessary. Mindfulness works
because it helps to create a calm mind. A calm mind gives room for
the unconscious mind to thrive and produces flow. Trust your
instincts to find the open doors, and you can then enter them with
confidence. Mindfulness is the foundation for building what you
want, rather than accepting the demands that life imposes on you.
Push at Open Doors identifies the critical success factors that
come naturally to high achievers. Their success is not an accident.
It is not a result of luck either; although intriguingly many
successful people believe they create their own luck. Each chapter
examines one area of life, and shows you how to develop mindfulness
to push at the open doors. Subjects covered include goals,
confidence, family and friends, school, work, education, sport,
health, dealing with adversity, the control of your emotions,
universal laws, uncluttering your mind, and finally how to achieve
a quiet mind through inward reflection and meditation. The pages
are crammed with practical examples for you to use, based on the
author's wide experience, and gleaned painstakingly, and sometimes
painfully, from the University of Life. At least one of these
strands might point you in the right direction if you are feeling a
little lost in an ever more confusing world. Embrace two or more
strands and who knows where your journey might end? About the

Endorsement 'A lot of books promise magic but when you open the
pages they fail to deliver. This book is different. Dr Stephen
Simpson has put together a terrific read and a very practical guide
to improvement. You would be very foolish to miss out on some truly
inspirational and transformative material' Dr. Karl Morris -
Founder of The Mind Factor
Dr. Simpson is a medical specialist and mind coach working with
clients on the European Tours. He knows from his experiences that
successful putting depends much more on using effective mind skills
than technique. Dr. Simpson explains his revolutionary methods that
you can use immediately to hole more putts, and have a lot more fun
too. Drive for show, and putt for dough. It is a cliche, but
nevertheless it is true. The fastest way to bring your handicap
down, or make more money on tour, is to shave a few putts from your
round. Even just one would make a huge difference. It is the
easiest thing to do, or the hardest, depending on how you think
about it, and which part of your brain you are using. Children are
often very good at putting because nobody has told them how
difficult it is, or blinded them with technique. There is a lesson
there for you too. Adopt the mantra that you will follow your
process, and your results will take care of themselves. In other
words if your processes are good more putts will drop, and your
statistics will improve as a result. This is the process that you
will use to improve your putting stats. There are only four magic
mind secrets to this process. Adopt them and they will open your
mind, and as a result you will hole many more putts. Here they are:
- Be confident about the line - Be confident about the speed of the
green - Be confident in yourself - Be confident to stroke the ball
smoothly This sounds easy, and it certainly can be. The power word
that applies to all these four secrets is confidence, and Dr.
Simpson's role is to explain HOW you can increase your confidence
in these four critical areas. In this audiobook he explains in an
engaging style the way that your brain works, and unearths a few
clues explaining why most people get in their own way, and make
putting, and life, a lot more difficult than they should.
