| 101 Exercises for the Soul: Divine Workout Plan for Body, Mind, and Spirit
Dr. Bernie S. Siegel, 2005
New World Library, Novato, CA
Bernie Siegel's latest book is an answer to the prayers of all the isolated people who wish they had a coach to help them recover from the isolation that grew slowly but insidiously into an all-encompassing emptiness. Asking for your permission to become your coach, Bernie goes on to lead you through twenty coaching tips with five exercises each to help you reconnect with your soul. Without that connection, we are nothing more than empty shells floundering blindly through our lives with no taste, no smell, no feeling, no sensation at all. The final exercise in Bernie's book is a final exam…a test to see if you are living in a state of spontaneity and joy! The exercises cover such diverse workouts as finding your personal theme song, scrap booking your life, expressing grief, and evaluating how many members on your team…if you even have a team. If not, get one! This is an indispensable book for the New Year!

| You Are God! Get Over It!
Story Waters, 2005
Limitlessness Publishing, U.K.
Story Waters is back and better than ever! “God is the infinitely free power to be. To grasp this is to let go of the idea of God as a person. In you, God is a person.” Waters basic message is that there is no separation between God and you. We are God's experiences. God is not a separate, white bearded, personification sitting on a throne in some far away heaven. God is within you. God is you. You are God. Waters eloquently writes about our propensity to resist, to fear, to create obstacles to our alignment with All that is. “If you cease to resist reality you will come to see that you are choosing it with love, for it is with that love that you are exploring being.” Although connected through All that is, we are not the same, we are the many. This tender book will lift your spirit and enlighten your life.

Embracing Reality – The Integral Vision of Ken Wilber: A Historical Survey and Chapter-by-Chapter Guide to Wilber's Major Works
Brad Reynolds, 2004
Jeremy Tarcher/Penguin, NY
Brad Reynolds has written a seminal work that serves as an introduction to Ken Wilber's integral philosophy or as a comprehensive review for those who have been reading Wilber for the last 25 years. As with any philosopher, it is not enough to randomly study their words. One must understand the individual and the process of their unfolding. Reynolds presents the synopses of Wilber's work along a time line divided into four major phases of Wilber's philosophical development. He also includes a biography of the man, graphics including drawings, charts, and photographs, and, finally, a comprehensive Wilber bibliography. Ken Wilber has steadfastly removed himself from the endorsement of any work based on his writings. What makes Reynolds uniquely qualified to present this broad, inclusive reference is tenure of more than ten years with Ken Wilber.

Twenty-Five Words: How the Serenity Prayer Can Save Your Life
Barb Rogers, 2005
Red Wheel/Weiser Book Pub., Boston , MA
How willing are you to accept the things you cannot change? All the things that are unfair, seemingly initiated by others or even a Higher Power? Whom do you still blame? Barb Rogers had more reasons than most to sink into the darkness of alcoholism, and when she first heard the Serenity Prayer, to discredit the wisdom hidden there. The foundational prayer of all twelve-step programs and made well known by its use in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, the Serenity Prayer is twenty-five words of hard work. You cannot change death. You cannot change anyone else. You cannot change God. You can change yourselves. You can change your responses to others. You can change your perception of a Higher Power's beneficence. The hard work comes from the last five words…”wisdom to know the difference.” Rogers tells us a story fraught with tragedy and the courage to change. This is for everyone who wants to understand true serenity.
