Life from the Top of the Mind Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Who doesn't deal with stress everyday? If you struggle with managing the stress of life and work, get "Life from the Top of the Mind" and you will learn an entirely new approach to overcoming stress. Bill Crawford combines his knowledge of how the brain works with his experience as a psychologist, coach and trainer to present practical ways to shift from our stress mode to operating with clarity, confidence and creativity -- what he calls "Top of the Mind". What I like are the easy-to-learn and remember models that actually work, and the progressive learning approach of the book. He also includes a stress assessment and tips for sleeping better! This radical approach is the culmination of many years of researching, teaching and coaching on what actually works. Stressed? Shift to Life from the Top of the Mind!

Everyone has heard the statistics . . . 75% of Americans describe their lives as "very stressful". . . frustration, absenteeism, and burnout are rampant and with the pace of change and globalization, almost everyone predicts it's just going to get worse! Plus, even though everyone is experiencing more stress than ever, they are also tired of "stress management" and people giving them simplistic answers to life's complex problems.In his fourth book, Dr. Crawford addresses this problem by first explaining why this level of stress and frustration is so prevalent, and why so much of the advice about how to deal with these problems will never work! Using a conversational style that is free of psychobabble, this ground-breaking new book then gives its readers a concrete, comprehensive system for shifting to the upper 80% of their brain (the "Top of the Mind") and accessing the clarity, confidence, and creativity necessary for success in today's world. Life From the Top of the Mind is designed for people and organizations who want to become more influential in their lives, and the lives of others.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff--and it's all small stuff (Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The cover of this book says it was a bestselling book of the year at one time. After opening it up and glancing through it, it't not hard to see why.
The pupose of the book is to get you to look at things, common situations we all come across everyday, like being criticized or being given more work than you can possibly finish, and see them a little differently. Believe it or not, it delivers- and in just a page or two at a time if you can believe that!
That's because the wisdom is definitely there, on every page, and it just plain makes sense. Many times I've read a chapter or two and thought, "Why didn't I think of that before?".
The other good thing about this tiny book is that you could either sit down and read it cover-to-cover, or just pick it up once in awhile and pick a random chapter to read. Either way, the mini-chapters are sure to quickly leave most readers wondering why they make such a big deal out of the things they do. Other short self-help books I like include "Finding Happiness in a Frustrating World".

A Life Less Anxious: Freedom from panic attacks and social anxiety without drugs or therapy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A Life Less Anxious: Freedom from panic attacks and social anxiety without drugs or therapy (Volume 1)
I have been struggling with Anxiety/Panic attacks since I was a teenager. I have read so many books, Listen to tons of CD's and bought an expensive Video program. None have ever helped me. Steves books is so well written, I read half the book the first night. Even thou I knew I wasnt the only one who struggled with Anxiety,this book shed a new light for me. I have yet to read a book where the Author so totally described my symptoms and understood what I am going thru. I am so glad I bought this book. Yesterday during a snow storm we were out doing errands I tried Steves breathing technique.. IT worked! I had gotten myself so worked up about the snow and fearing the "WHAT IFS" we slid off the road~~ I wasnt sure how I would ever make it home. I then started breathing as Steve says in the books and for the first time in my life,, I was able to get my anixety attack under control. Thank you Steve for writing this book. I highly recommend this bookfor anyone who is struggling with anxiety.

Quiet Mind: One-Minute Retreats from a Busy World Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Welcome to a new way to cope with the demands of a too-busy life. Welcome to a way that requires no difficult skills, adds no new burdens, and accommodates all spiritual systems and life-styles. Welcome to all who want to do nothing-more often, more creatively, with joy, and without guilt. Welcome to one-minute retreats that can be yours at any time of the day or night." - From the book
According to author David Kundtz, a mindful posture centered from the quiet state of your being is *crucial* for any undertaking. In fact, he asserts, if we do not take the time to pause with purpose, disappointment and failure awaits us.
In his book Quiet Mind, Kundtz invites us to do nothing-but to "do" it with purpose, meaning, and value. That is, to take time for ourselves, to rest, to find peace, to awaken, to remember, and to find ways to recognize what we may have forgotten, and how not to forget again.
At 370-pages, Quiet Mind: One-Minute Retreats from a Busy World is brimming with dozens of meditations designed to promote thoughtfulness, calm, and quietude. The mini-retreats, one and a half to two pages long, feature a sage quote and Kundtz's wise and gentle commentary. At the end of each, the author offers one-sentence encouragement, inviting readers to observe life and apply the wisdom found in the meditation.
Kundtz has organized these meditations under fourteen general categories, including:
*Making Room for Life
*Creating Opportunities for Serenity
*Defining Your Values
*Finding Peace at Work
*Knowing Thyself
*Awakening to Wonder
*Giving Back to the World
Under the category Finding Peace at Work, for example, is a meditation about Weariness. Beginning with a quote from Eric Hoff saying, "Our greatest weariness comes from work not done", Kundtz observes:
"...what tires us most is not work, but the anticipation of work still to do. Here is a time when living in the present moment is vital. The past is gone, the future is a just a concept and a projection of our minds. All you have is now. It's all you need..."
In the section Making Room for Life, a meditation called What's Going on Here begins with a quote by George Wilson: "Things are seldom about what they seem to be about." Kundtz notes that all too often we narrowly focus on accomplishing a particular task that we overlook the obvious cause of pain and distress in those around us. He relates the story of a frustrated mother bringing her son to him for counseling. The boy refused to go to school, and neither the son nor the mother was very communicative as to possible causes. Kundtz couldn't figure out what was at the heart of the problem! When he suggested they come back next week the mother replied that they could not come back next week because they were moving across the country. Aha! At last, a window into the boy's world: he was grieving the loss of his friends and all things familiar.
Quiet Mind by David Kundtz is a delightful book, providing a much-needed respite from overloaded senses, cluttered thoughts, and hurried lives.

More than a meditation book, Quiet Mind is a series of reflections that can illuminate every aspect of life. It offers readers guidance on using the moments between activities -- which the author calls "stillpoints" -- as opportunities to focus on becoming more fully awake to who they are. "These times are the 'spaces in between' the events of your life," writes Kundtz, "spaces often lost, or worse -- filled with anxiety. And these spaces in between are just waiting to bring you the calmness and clarity that an over-demanding schedule steals from you." A welcome respite for anyone whose gear shift is perpetually in overdrive, Quiet Mind is an invitation to rest, find peace, awaken, and remember. It offers deceptively simple wisdom to help readers sharpen their senses and make room for life.
