MOTIVATIONAL , SELF-HELP AUDIO BOOKS

Please Note: The books and Audios reviewed here are my honest opinions. I received these unsolicited and free for promotional purposes, but I simply do not review the ones I do not believe to be review worthy.

Athletic Baby: Soccer! is a cute video DVD young children will enjoy and it will motivate them to move and learn to play ball like the kids pictured. There are some fun songs and some really good videos of children playing the game. This is one of a series of various ball games.

AUDIO BOOK REVIEWS

THE ART OF FEARBUSTING : SUSAN JEFFERS has put on CD one of her very first live speeches about conquering fear. She has some excellent ideas that are simple to put into practice and do a very good job of helping stop fear in any situation. The seeds of her continued teachings are all laid out in this short CD, and you have a guided meditation to help make it absorb into your subconscious to continue to help you. Although I found the CD very helpful, I felt it was far too brief. Well worth hearing more than once though. .

Audible.com is a wonderful way to first find books on tape without having to go to the bookstores and spend a lot of time sorting through what is available. Their books are placed in catagories, so the search is simplified, and then each book has a rating and a description. Once you find the book you want you can easily place the book in your Audible online library through a download procedure that is simple and takes from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the length of the book. Once in the library, the book is put into what is called the archive section, and you can either listen to the book on your computer or download the book to CDs through the burn CD part of the Audible programing. The instructions for downloading and listening and CD burning the books purchased is very easy to understand and follow. Audible.com has an excellent help line for those that have trouble with the downloading, or listening. or burning the books to CD. Audible gives the purchaser a greater chance to get unabridged books for listening, which is a plus when most audio books offered in bookstores are abridged. We highly recommend joining this wonderful travel resource. You'll be amazed at the great array of selections you have.

Inner Peace For Busy Women by Joan Borysenko

Inner Peace For Busy Women By Dr. Joan Z. Borysenko is a very nice surprise in that it is not a lot of advice about how to meditate, although this is one of her prime suggestions as a daily practice for gaining inner peace, but this 2 CD set is her private sharing of the demons she has faced throughout her career as first a medical student/mother/poor housewife and through the years through divorce, single parenting, and balancing a demanding career as a doctor. The pain she experienced and the wisdom she gained she shares openly and especially deals with the persistent guilt of the working mother who is told by society that she can have it all, but in reality she is living a juggling act that kills relationships and individuals. She and her children succeeded through it all and have a loving adult relationship, although her marriage did not. She gives sage advice and encouragement to any woman walking this tight rope. EXCELLENT!

Dr. Phil Getting Real by Dr. Phil McGraw is easy to listen to and filled with excellent advise for becoming a better marriage partner or gaining the confidence to leave an unfixable relationship, and how to tell the difference. Dr. Phil, who is highly qualified in the field of psychology, has the ability to "get down where you live" and talk in plain ( an often explitive four letter words) language so that you know you are not listening to some Ph. D. who is way over your heads. His TV and Radio fame is well deserved, and he provides here no quick and easy exit or fix for an unharmonious marriage, but some excellent advice of how to proceed to make your situation better and to improve yourself first and then your relationships. We highly recommend this set of CD's for time well used when you are on the go.

Feeling Fine Affirmations by Louise L. Hay is exactly what it states. If you have a very poor self image or low self confidence, this CD could be a great help, if you are in the right frame of mind to be relaxed and receptive. She simply and softly speaks positive affirmations to help you learn to have good mental messages to yourself in order to be healthy physically and emotionally and to reduce stress. However, if you are already a positive and happy person, the CD's could make you feel as if you are learning to decline a verb!

The Book of Angels by Sylvia Browne is a two CD set which will convince you of the reality of angels all around you, even if you have never considered them before. The author, a born psychic, has seen and communicated with angels all her life just as you and I communicate with normal people in our everyday lives. Sylvia also has a Spirit Guide, Francene, whom she consults on a regular basis and who has given her much of her knowledge of the specifics of the various Angel Phylums and what the supervise. Ms. Browne is very specific in the colors, signs, and duties of the various groups of angels and has several brief meditations to help you engage the particular group who can help with your specific problems. The book is a delightful and convincing listen, even though your realistic mind is screaming, "No Way!" Try her experiment to see if angels are real and are really there for you. I did, and I went WOW! Amazing! .

CD's About eharmony: Finding the Love of Your Life by Neil Warren from eHarmony.com is not just for singles seeking marriage partners. This is an excellent set of CD's for listening in your car or home or while you exercise. Even though I've been married happily for forty years, I learned a lot about relationships and about myself from listening to these psychologists. Dr. Les Parrott has counselled over 7,000 married couples in his over thirty years in the field, and Neil Warren, founder of eHarmony.com, has also counselled thousands of unhappy people who want a solid relationship with the right life partner. These psychologists discuss in a conversational style their intent to be instrumental in reducing the divorce rate in the US and the world by helping people become whole within themselves and therefore bring to a relationship that solid ground on which to build harmony. EHarmony.com is the most successful matching service on the Internet because the program not only matches couples based on the personal assessment surveys each person takes, but also with CD's like these they help individuals learn what to look for in a mate that is a good match for them and how to build a solid relationship so the marriage is not only lasting but so that it also contributes to the joy and fullfillment of each individual. I highly recommend this set for singles and as an EXCELLENT wedding or anniversary gift for any couple you know. .

This is an audio set that I will give my children and grandchildren when they are in early teens, and it will be the greatest gift I'll ever give them.

Developing Your Sixth Sense by Stuart Wilde, author of fourteen books, is available from Nightingale Conant on CD or twelve half hour cassette tapes. At first glance, this book appears to be one for New Age enthusiasts only, but nothing could be farther from the correct take on this selection. This is an enlightening walk into the discovery of self, your real self and all of your unused powers to reading other people and becoming a whole person, able to relate to all others from your own wholeness, claiming your own power. While this subject has been treated in many ways by other authors that could bore a listener to sleep, Wilde, with his delightful Australian accent, is captivating and quirky in his conversational, down to earth presentation of this esoteric and psycho spiritual subject. He employs the use of meditation, dreams, embracing your shadow. He helps you develop self psycho analytical skills to understand first yourself and then to perceive others.

He stresses finding and claiming your own etheric self, the dimension of the Sixth Sense, which has been shut off by Western life style,, but which gives each of us our powerful birthright to stretch our mind and perceptions beyond that of our normally used five senses. He has developed dynamic new ways to wake ourselves up, based on Traditional Masters' teachings, but more applicable to modern life. The listener should, however, be cautioned that Wilde, in his earlier life, was a card shark and at several points in this book a would be gambler may feel this is the answer he has been searching for and suddenly gamble his life away. Wilde cautions that the skills he teaches take years and persistent practice to develop.

The Power of Clarity: Find Your Focal Point by Brian Tracy

has produced an excellent motivational set of audio's in which he presents his 1,000% Return Principle. Brian did not finish high school, went through years with dead end jobs, poor, and finally worked out his plan to improve your productivity by 1/10 of 1% a day in order to increase our earning ability by ten fold in ten years. He teaches 80 20 % rule…keep top 20 percent of your customers by getting out of all the other relationships…put 80 percent of your effort into the top 20 percent of your business. You have a choice…use your energy on the customers who provide the most pleasure and most income in your businesses. By freeing yourself from drudgery, no win parts of your business then you'll have more time for your family and yourself. Also tells how to restructure your personal, spiritual, financial life so that all your life has higher results and you have more income with more free time and more enjoyment

Specific questions help you determine your special talents…everyone has genius in some area. Focus on these. What one thing I already do would make more contributions to my work, if I could do only this one thing. Knowing what I know now, what would I never do again? The questions you learn to ask about business also apply personal relationships. Grand slam method: Simplify, leverage, accelerate, multiply….get more done with fewer steps.
