Emotional Enrichment

The Challenge
"Built to Last," the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.

But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?

The Study
For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?

The Standards
Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.

The Comparisons
The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good?

Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and hiscrew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't.

The Findings
The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include:

Identifying the five 'pillars' of our everyday existence - financial, relational, intellectual, physical and spiritual - James Arthur Ray shows us how to define what we want in life and then presents the strategy for becoming absolutely unstoppable in achieving those things. Going far beyond the explication of the Law of Attraction (thoughts, emotions, beliefs and actions are said to attract corresponding positive and negative experiences) addressed in bestselling THE SECRET, James Ray breaks down the seven super laws of the universe (of which the law of attraction is a subset) and shows how to apply them to achieve harmonic wealth. Turning theory into practice, James Ray distils extensive study of ancient wisdom traditions and cutting-edge findings in scientific fields into proven action steps that are practical and easy to implement. HARMONIC WEALTH shows us how to create and maintain all of our five pillars dynamically, leading to a continual cycle of abundance and providing the route to achieving success and happiness in all aspects of our lives.

Do you think you have enough money? Do you feel really fulfilled by your career? Very few people can answer yes to both questions. Some of us can say yes to one or the other. But the majority of people would actually say no to both. So what is it that is stopping you achieving your full financial & career potential? Is it possible that taking steps to be fulfilled can actually be the same steps you need to take to get control of your financial situation (and vice versa). It runs completely contrary to what we've been led to believe - you can have lots of cash or a fulfilling job, but you can't have both. Unless you are one of those annoyingly rare people who turn their hobby into their job (and we've all read enough about those). Make Money, Be Happy shows that a career is just one income stream, and that many others exist. It offers the reader a different life perspective, one that integrates career ambition with greater personal financial control. It blasts financial fear and stupidity and attempts to replace it with knowledge and the desire for personal financial action (in order to do the things you love). The book provides lots of examples and basic finance tools and techniques to help you, the reader figure out *Why you earn what you earn *What you might really want to do with your life *What your career choices will mean, financially *What is the business case for you, right now, where you are *The concept of day rate versus salary *What is good to understand about investments *Self destructive spending habits *Ways to make a low income work harder *Ways to make a high income feel like one This book explains simple concepts buried underneath the jargon of financial management.

To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world all alone. "Eat, Pray, Love" is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best way unexpectedly.

An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, "Eat, Pray, Love"   what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.

In true Caroline Myss style she takes you through a journey of self discovery and self exploration.

Spend some time on this one! It's worth it.

This is the true story of one man's spiritual awakening, without a guru and under severely restrictive conditions...

In March of 1992, Michael Clegg entered prison, convicted of manufacturing an illegal drug. While there, he realized that a lifetime of spiritual searching had brought him no closer to the elusive state he was seeking. In surrender, he was overwhelmed by relief and bliss. The next several years were spent in a deepening process he calls the "deliverance", as layers of preconditioned ego personality were peeled away to reveal the eternal Pearl of Consciousness. He left prison with a new name, Satyam Nadeen, and a new life

Neale Donald Walsch always writes simply and makes the concepts easy to understand.

if you've read Conversations with God and watched "The Secret" - Neale Donald Walsch adds his unique touch to putting things into perspective again.

His journey to honour the last request of a beloved clergyman ultimately leads him to rekindle his own long-ignored faith. Albom spends years exploring churches and synagogues, the suburbs and the city, the 'us' versus 'them' of religion. Slowly, he gravitates to an inner-city pastor of a crumbling church that houses the homeless, and is stunned at how similar belief can be. As his own beloved cleric slowly lets go, Albom writes his final farewell, having learned that a faithful heart comes in many forms and places.

Practical spirituality for everyday living. Walsch distills the principles of his best-selling Conversations with God into a universal formula for living well.

Each chapter in this book is filled with specifics for living an inspired life. From a very personal viewpoint, the bestselling author of "The Power of Intention" offers a blueprint through the world of spirit to inspiration.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this - each page is a living and learning experience!

For more than two decades, internationally renowned pioneer in energy medicine Caroline Myss has been studying how people use their personal power. Through her special brand of spiritual insight and intuition, her popular workshops, and her bestselling books, Myss has helped hundreds of thousands of people meet the lifelong challenge of managing their spiritual energy and improving their lives.

Now, in this inspiring new book, Myss expands her message about power in an entirely new spiritual direction. With characteristic originality, she explains how we become channels for divine grace and a conduit for miracles through kind, compassionate, generous actions, or, as she calls them, invisible acts of power. When we act compassionately, without a private agenda or expectation of credit or reward, God works invisibly, anonymously through us. And as we move from visible acts, such as giving a friend a helping hand, to invisible acts, such as prayer and healing, we undergo a profound journey of personal empowerment.

The myriad simple but profound ways that people connect to create small miracles, gain a greater sense of spirituality, and transform their own -- and others' -- lives in an instant will inspire you to your own invisible acts of power...and attract them to you.

Part I of The Art of Spiritual Surrender shows readers that surrender is much more powerful - and effective - than constant striving, or toughing it out at all costs. Based on wisdom drawn from the Bible and contemporary books, Cordova tells how she discovered and came to accept surrendering her own life. Part II is an inspirational collection of stories from people who have suffered everything from addictions to terminal diseases, and triumphed by surrendering.

Wayne Dyer has an affirmation per page with one paragraph per page.
