THE PLEASURE TRAP : MASTERING THE HIDDEN FORCE THAT UNDERMINES HEALTH AND HAPPINESS BY DOUGLAS J LISLE AND ALAN GOLDHAMER

In The Pleasure Trap, Drs. Douglas Lisle and Alan Goldhamer provide detailed advice on how to recognize the patterns of this trap in your own life and overcome its negative influence. They explain:

The unexpected twist in the relationship between happiness and pleasure and why so many lives are ruined because of it.
Why we\’re poorly equipped psychologically to understand that it\’s the excesses in our diets, not the deficiencies that are killing us, and how to overcome this mental blind spot.
Why taking supplements and vitamins can be counterproductive to good health.
How the secret to maintaining optimum weight doesn\’t lie in how much you eat, but in what you eat.
The sumptuous, health-promoting diet that nature intended and modern society has forgotten, and how to bring its life-enriching benefits into your own home.
How to maintain your strength and integrity in the face of social pressure opposing healthy living.
Why animal products are such tempting Pleasure Trap foods, and how to overcome those overwhelming cravings.

In addition, the authors address with candor and acumen some of the most frequently debated issues in health. Some of those topics include:

How our awe of modern medicine\’s legitimate advances can lure us into a false sense of security about our health and make us lose sight of the fact that our personal health is predominantly determined by our own dietary and lifestyle choices.
How modern medicine can be a Pleasure Trap because it lessens our pain but fails to help the body heal itself, leaving us less healthy as a result.
The benefits of medically supervised water-only fasting, featuring results of the author\’s original research, which shows the largest effects published to date in the treatment of high blood pressure.
Current environmental concerns and how eating a health-promoting, whole, natural foods diet is one of the best gifts we can give our planet.

The Pleasure Trap also features The Point System, a comprehensive personal quiz developed by the authors that gives readers a barometer for measuring their own diet and lifestyle choices. \”The Pleasure Trap focuses on telling people what they actually need to know instead of what they want to hear,\” states Dr. Lisle. \”Our objective is to create an awareness of the real price of modern living that no one ever talks about and empower readers with the tools they need to redirect their health, and in turn, rediscover the happiness and well-being that is their birthright.\”

Soul Mind Body Medicine: A Complete Soul Healing System for Optimum Health and Vitality by Dr and Master Zhi Gang Sha

SOUL MIND BODY MEDICINE : A COMPLETE SOUL HEALING SYSTEM FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH AND VITALITY BY DR AND MASTER ZHI GANG SHA

“Body Space Medicine” was a term coined by Dr Zhi Chen Guo, a renowned TCM doctor in China. This form of medicine “uses Chinese herbs, energy healing and message or spiritual healing, together with quantum medicine, to adjust and regulate the body and treat illness.”. Through this medicine, Dr Guo was able to develop an antidote to SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) during the global SARS outbreak. The fundamentals of his work formed the foundation of a body of knowledge pioneered by his protégé and spiritual son, Dr Zhi Gang Sha. Dr Sha is a doctor of Western Medicine in China, and a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China and Canada; he is also a master of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Tao Calligraphy.

Dr Sha’s work and teachings about Soul Power and “Soulfulness” are based on his insights that the “soul is the boss” and has the power to heal. He takes the concept of “mind over matter” a step further and introduces the idea of “soul over matter.” Dr Sha posits that physical healing is incomplete without first healing at the soul level. In his words, “Heal the soul first, then healing of the mind and body will follow.”

Dr Sha created a system known as “Soul Mind Body Medicine.” The process involves 5 steps:

Mind Power (visualization);
Body Power (including specific hand and body positions);
Sound Power (chanting mantras to stimulate vibration);
Soul Power (making a connection to one’s soul, as a form of prayer); and
Tracing Power (tracing special “One-stroke” calligraphy – Tao Shu Fa – with hands or body movement).

These 5 steps form the basis of Soul Mind Body Alignment.

A simple medication consists of :

“Dear Soul Mind and Body of Mine

I love you

You have the power to heal yourself

Do a Great Job

Thank You Thank You Thank You. “

Discover Dr. Sha’s Powerful Techniques for Healing Your Soul, Mind, and Body

What is the real secret to healing? Internationally acclaimed healer and author Dr. Zhi Gang Sha gives us a simple yet powerful answer to this age-old question: Heal the soul first; then healing of the mind and body will follow.

In Soul Mind Body Medicine, Dr. Sha shows that love and forgiveness are the golden keys to soul healing. From that foundation, he presents practical tools to heal and transform soul, mind, and body. The techniques and the underlying theories are easy to learn and practice but profoundly effective. They include:
Healing methods for more than 100 ailments, from the common cold to back pain to heart disease to diabetes

Step-by-step approaches to weight loss, cancer recovery, emotional balance, and maintenance of good health

Personality Plus – How to Understand Others by Understanding Yourself by Florence Littauer

PERSONALITY PLUS – HOW TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS BY UNDERSTANDING YOURSELF BY FLORENCE LITTAUER

The main takeaways from this book are:

There are 4 main personality types that all of us fall under. Most people are a combination of 2 of the personality types and some even have small parts of all 4 personality types.

The 4 personality types are:

Choleric– Highly competitive, type A personality. Self-motivated and extremely ambitious. Often times, they have a hard time working well in groups because of their intense nature. They tend to be strong leaders though that are great at accomplishing goals. Cholerics are extroverted as well. This personality type is associated with FIRE.

Sanguine- Great sense of humor and a class-clown type of person. These people are very good at making friends and are extremely extroverted. Very likeable. The problem with sanguines though is that they often times have a tough time finishing a task or project. Their head is in the clouds too often and they get sidetracked. This personality type is associated with AIR.

Melancholy- Very analytical and structured human being. Tends to be very introverted and a good listener. These types of people are very detail and task oriented. Usually soft-spoken and tend to like their privacy. They can be moody and become depressed easily and have anxiety. This personality type is associated with EARTH.

Phlegmatic- This personality type is extremely calm. They tend to go with the flow and are extremely easygoing. The problem with phlegmatics is that they tend to have a hard time getting motivated and staying motivated. This personality type is associated with WATER.

***There is a personality assessment you can take inside this book and it will help you figure out what your personality type is.

If you are in sales or business or simply want to understand why people are the way they are, then I strongly suggest you read this book!

Sales Dogs: You Don’t Have to be an Attack Dog to Explode Your Income by Blair Singer

SALES DOGS : YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AN ATTACK DOG TO EXPLODE YOUR INCOME BY BLAIR SINGER

The number one skill for any entrepreneur or business owner is the ability to sell. Why? Because sales = income. Yet, many fail financially not because they do not have great ideas or even good work ethic, but typically because they don’t know how to, refuse to, are afraid to, or don’t think it is important to know how to sell.

SalesDogs was written as the very first of the Rich Dad Poor Dad “how-to” Advisory series to teach in a very fun and impactful way how to overcome the fears, the myths and the obstacles to selling your products, services or yourself.

It then teaches a simple, time-proven process of selling that will generate great income in most any business. The reader will learn the five most important selling skills to master, how to overcome any objection, manage a territory and much more.

The book quickly de-bunks the idea that you have to be an overly aggressive “attack dog” to be successful. It uses the metaphor of “man’s best friend” to say that a great sales person is like a loyal, persistent and lovable canine.

It stipulates that there are five different “breeds” or personalities of Sales Dogs that can each make a lot of money by playing to its strength.

You will learn how to identify, maximize and train to that strength and also how to teach others on your team to do the same. While the book is fun and engaging, it also dives deep into the personal development issues that block a person’s ability to generate income and how to overcome them.

The book is perfect for first time salespeople, individuals who are uncomfortable with the notion of “selling”, those who need to train others to sell and those who want to simply get better quicker.
