Book Description
The Wisdom of Wallace D. Wattles I - Including: The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Great & The Science of Being Well
The Science of Getting Rich
THIS book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached. It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith, just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison; and, taking the statements upon faith, that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich; for the science herein applied is an exact science, and failure is impossible. For the benefit, however, of those who wish to investigate philosophical theories and so secure a logical basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities. The monistic theory of the universe the theory that One is All, and that All is One; That one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world -is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and of those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson. The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations of this is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself. In writing this book I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand. The plan of action laid down therein was deduced from the conclusions of philosophy; it has been thoroughly tested, and bears the supreme test of practical experiment; it works. If you wish to know how the conclusions were arrived at, read the writings of the authors mentioned above; and if you wish to reap the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice, read this book and do exactly as it tells you to do.

Life changing book.......2007-09-01
I have been involved in studying material of the general type contained in this book since the mid 1960's, and I've read a lot.Of them all this is absolutely the greatest book because it spells things out clearly and tells you exactly what to do to get t6he results you want in your life. I am recommending it to everyone and buying copies for loved ones. Buy the book and work with it. It could easily be the best purchase you ever make.
The Wisdom of Wallace D. Wattles.......2007-08-09
I purchased this book because it was the source material for The Secret. I wasn't disappointed with the material. I highly recommend this read for people who want to know more about the law of attraction.
buy this by all means!!! :).......2007-06-27

Science of Getting Rich, Great & Well.......2007-05-16
This trio of books - really more like long essays is a quick read. It is very interesting to see the beginnings of the current "Secret" craze in this early 1900's work. Some of the examples are antiquated due to the period during which it was written, but the basic tenets are very much in line with current abundance and prosperity works I have read. Editors notes help to explain some of the prevalent thinking at the time the books were written.
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful book!.......2007-09-23
So easy to read and read all over again. Every chapter at the end has a review titled "In a nut shell". I read those very often.
a friendly reminder.......2007-09-01
the author takes the time to remind us of what is important in life and what should be our focus to become happy and stay happy.
Life Changes When We Change.......2007-04-14
This quick read delivered more than I expected. The material was written in the late 1980's, so its messages have been often repeated in many other books. Much of it has withstood the test of time. It seems that what contributed to being happy in the 1980's would still contribute to your happiness level in 2007. The author's cartoons add levity, but the message is a very serious one that many unhappy people don't necessarily want to hear - you are responsible for your unhappiness. Yet, of course, this is meant to free you and give you hope with regard to feeling happier now. There are plenty of inspirational quotes, anecdotes, and practical steps offered to point you in the right direction. A worthwhile read.
Best book ever!.......2007-03-10
This book has not only changed my life but some of my clients lives too. As a social worker, I find the information in the book very informative and helpful in assisting people in learning to be happy. I have bought many copies to give to clients, friends and family. Highly recommended!
Being Happy by Andrew Matthews.......2006-03-23
Light hearted and easy to read (but must then be put into practice) directions to navigate a happy life.
Book Description
Aquarius
You're a deviant, but not a pervert. So how can you make your special contribution?
Virgo
You're here to roll up your sleeves and pitch in, and when you find your true calling, it won't be work. If you think the world owes you a living, get help.
Gemini
You're a human fiber optics cable. Staying connected to everyone, but not scattered and skitzed out -- that's the trick.
Vanity Fair's hip and wickedly funny columnist knows your naughtiest, darkest obsessions. He also knows where you can find the road to lasting joy.
SunShines is an astrology book like no other. Eerily accurate and deliciously witty, it takes you deeper into your sign than you've ever been before, identifies the patterns you get hooked on, and then shows you how to find the happiness everyone deserves to have. That's a promise.
Customer Reviews:
'SunShines' in your direction..........2007-08-27
Don't let the cover fool you! This book, on first glance, looks like it might be a bit of a light-hearted read, and that you could flip through in half an hour or so. I got hooked, not only by the down-to-earth language and style the material was presented in, but at the same time, the ease in which Lutin presents emotionally complex information.
Being happy sounds simple enough, but as most of us know life can get pretty complex at times making it difficult to concentrate or achieve some of the simplest pleasures in life. `SunShines' brings the focus back in on what is actually important to achieve happiness using a fairly simple, but powerful astrological technique. For those of you with as understanding of astrology, Lutin uses the Nodes as the basis for his book.
The book is broken up into two parts: part one looks at the individual sun signs which are further broken down into subsections according to the year you were born (this will let you know which sections to look at in part two). Part two looks at the deeper issues that may need attention in order for you to understand the astrology of being happy. For example, you can find money, love, recognition and escape as part of the themes examined here. There is also an Appendix explaining the astrology in more detail behind the book for those, like me, who are astrologers.
I must say that I am very impressed with the quality and content of this title, as it delivered much more than I expected: although it was very easy and fun to read, it was also deep in the information that was presented.
In summary, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in self-improvement or in learning about themselves more - as well as those that are trying to find more happiness in their life! This is an excellent, easy to understand title. You don't need any astrological knowledge at all except to know the date of your birth - although people with a background in this subject will also get a lot of information out of it.
Michael Lutin is right on again........2007-08-21
Michael Lutin Rocks! Anything by him is always right on. I read his "daily" every day. Mind you, he writes just one horoscope for all signs and still hits it right on every time. It's almost spooky. If you only buy one book all year, make it this one. You won't be disappointed.
Sunshines:the astrology of being happy.......2007-08-08
What a wonderful way to quickly get in touch with the stuff that can keep
you from being happy. If you can lower your defenses for a moment or two, you can begin to feel what Michael Lutin says is not only useful and true, but that his advice is positive and motivating. He has a wonderful sense of humor that helps take the edge off any painful self realizations. He gets to the heart of what's keeping you from feeling your absolute best. I've learned a lot so far from the book. It's a keeper.
Inspired!.......2007-06-26
As a professional astrologer, I've never trusted solar houses for individual delineation, but this book has made me reconsider. He uses solar houses to add dimension to south node sign positions, and it seems to work. I still have to compare his insights to a few more charts, but so far this is inspired new information.
not up to expectations at all.......2007-05-29
don't get me wrong, i love michael lutin. i read his horoscopes every day and have even bought forecasts from his website. but this book is very superficial. first of all, i thought this was a book about the nodes but it only talks about sun signs. the nice thing is that he goes through those signs degree by degree; unfortunately the descriptions aren't very profound or interesting.
the second portion of the book is even more non-specific. there are sections on things like wealth, relationships, etc and he talks about 'finding your true north' and 'where things go south'...but as far as i could tell this advice was not tailored to any given planet or node placements. not enough astrology, too many platitudes.

Customer Reviews:
Give it to your teenager!.......2007-05-12
This book is wonderful for teenagers or their parents. I recommend all Andrew Mathews books highly. Very uplifting and explained in a simple matter.
For the mid-teens.......2005-09-10
I did not buy this book but I mananged to flip through it in the bookstore. Each chapter is very short (average 2 - 3 pages, if not shorter). Each chapter comes with a cartoon and each section ends with "In A Nutshell"
I am 19 and I find that this book is suitable for teenagers in the 13 - 16 age group. Ideal for teens who has yet to find their identity and help them solve their problems.
Buy this book if you have no time to finish it in the bookstore!
Very good book. Almost perfect!.......2003-07-13
The book basically content what a teenagers realy need to know and teaches a new point of view to teenagers. Its more suited for those immature teenagers who needs guidance in their life. Also very suitable who do not have the ability to take charge of their life in ful. It teaches them socialising and to view problem from a much more matured way.
I didn't give it a full 5 stars because I'd went through what is taught in the book. It didn't really help me much but its a great book! Very straight forward in terms of language and easy to understand along with pictures for humour. I would highly recommend them for teenagers that faces problem. If you ever asked those question from the synopsis, then you really need to have the book.
Book Description
Discover the Secret!
Jesus said: "These things I have spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full" (John 15:11).
But perhaps you aren't exactly overflowing with joy. If you could stand a little more joy--or even a lot more!--Then Dr. Warren Wiersbe has a message for you. In this book he:
and #149; Unlocks the treasures of the Apostle Paul's "joy epistle" to the Philippians
and #149; Pinpoints the joy-stealers
and #149; Shows why you don't need to worry
and #149; Outlines the secret of contentment
Author Wiersbe says: "If you master . . . Philippians, then you should enjoy a happy Christian life!" This book, then, could be a turning point for you. Discover the secret of joy, walk out into the sunshine and
BE JOYFUL!
Customer Reviews:
Amen to that!.......2006-02-12
Yes, even when there seems to be no reason for joy, when eyes see only tears and knees burn from kneeling so long. Alas this brings you right back on course. What a wise man WWW is, again one of my favorite authors. His use of scriptural psychology is amazing. Not a part of this book is without a connection to scripture. This book studies the book of Philippians as I have yet to see another author accomplish in clear easy to understand points. As written in his book...."Worry is actually wrong thinking (the mind) and wrong feeling (the heart) about circumstances, people and things." Phil 4.
Ck it out, you wont want to put in down
Understanding Loss of Joy.......2001-08-29
I have used this book over and over again for personal study and also women's Bible studies and am now considering using it again. It has help me so much and I feel others can benefit greatly in recognizing the joy stealers. The author is one of my favorite writers and speakers.
Wiersbe's Best.......2001-03-02
Warren Wiersbe is one of the great Bible teachers of all time. He interprets and applies the truth on a popular level without compromising depth. Be Joyful, his commentary on Philippians, is his best work in my opinion.
He reveals the four thieves of joy (one for each chapter of Philippians), and then counters them with the four "minds" we are to develop. Simple, clearcut, balanced, and practical. A must read.
This is an excellent study in today's living........1999-06-03
Warren Wiersbe is an excellent teacher, whether it be written in a study or listening to him. The book "Be Joyful" is not an exception to this practical, useful style of writing. He points out the absolute necessity of "having a single mind" for Christ and being absolutely submitted to His leading for our lives. I would recommend this book for individual study or group study.
This is an excellent tool in never-ending quest for growth........1998-12-10
I highly recommend this book. It looks at Phillipians in a way that I never imagined possible. Wiersbe brings things out that you never knew were there. If you want to grow closer to God, this will definately help you.

Book Description
At the heart of this beautiful and insightful audiobook lies "the perfection trap"--what it is, how to avoid falling into it, and how to instead shape a life that is uniquely yours. In BEING PERFECT, Ann Quindlen gives a name to, and invites us to laugh at, a lifestyle that is all too familiar to many people, one that emphasizes the pursuit of trying to be perfect in the eyes of others, and to win the world's good opinion, rather than focusing on the most important goal of all: "Giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." With wit and wisdom, Quindlen offers a keen understanding of how to create a life that is rich in meaning for you, by living on your own terms and by listening to your own deepest instincts, rather than to the demands and values of the world outside. This audiobook is an inspiring guide to living a rewarding and happy life, a life fulfilling in all its flaws, a life that is truly yours.
In A SHORT GUIDE TO A HAPPY LIFE, Quindlen reflects on what it takes to "get a life"--to live deeply every day and form your own unique self, rather than merely to exist through your days. "Knowledge of our own mortality is the greatest gift God ever gives us," Quindlen states, "because unless you know the clock is ticking, it is so easy to waste our days, our lives." Her mother died when Quindlen was nineteen: "It was the dividing line between seeing the world in black and white, and in Technicolor. The lights came on for the darkest possible reason I learned something about enduring, in a very short period of time, about life. And that was that it was glorious, and that you had no business taking it for granted." In A SHORT GUIDE TO A HAPPY LIFE, Quindlen guides us with an understanding that comes from knowing how to see the view, the richness in living.

Commencement addresses you actually will want to hear!.......2006-01-28
Commencement addresses are not ordinarily something I look
forward to hearing . . . yet when given the opportunity to listen to
two of them, I grabbed the opportunity by obtaining BEING PERFECT
AND A SHORT GUIDE TO A HAPPY LIFE--a short but powerful
CD read and written by Anna Quindlen.
Quindlen, the prolific author of novels, nonfiction books and
children's books, is also a 1992 Pulitzer Prize recipient for
her NEW YORK TIMES column . . . her column now
appears every other week in NEWSWEEK.
She took the aforementioned title from two commencement
addresses she had prepared . . . when she kept getting
requests for them, she put them into book form: A SHORT GUIDE
TO A HAPPY LIFE, followed by BEING PERFECT.
Both titles contain such useful advice that I found myself
listening to them repeatedly.
For example, she urges you to set aside your friends' advice,
what your family and co-workers demand, and what society
expects, and look at the choices you make every day. When
you ask yourself why you are making them, Quindlen encourages
you to give this answer: For me. "Because they are what
I want, or wish for. Because they reflect who and what I am . . .
[the] melodies spun out by your own heart."
Or when it comes to being a mother, a wife and a friend,
she notes, "I show up. I listen. I try to laugh."
My only regret is that Quindlen was not the speaker at my high school
or college graduations.
Book Description
Keeping a realistic view of ourselves, our partners, and our relationships is the key to creating a marriage that is happy, healthy, and dynamic. Because we all bring generally unrealistic hopes and beliefs into our relationships, this is always easier said than done. Being Happy Being Married helps readers recognize the flaws in their expectations of marriage and of each other. Lee Schnebly helps readers use this knowledge as the first step toward improving communication with our partners, getting our needs met, and solving everyday marital problems. With real-life, often humorous examples, Lee Schnebly provides a balance of professional and personal advice on all the issues that commonly cause couples to clash, from differing sexual needs to contrasting styles of child-rearing. In addition, this experienced marriage counselor has illuminating comments to make about the effect gender differences have on marriages, how we manipulate each other and why it doesn't work, why it is important to distinguish between wants and needs in a marriage, and more. She has much to say on the subject of marrying for the wrong reasons-and staying married for the right ones.

A Fresh Look.......2001-06-19
This book is based on a simple premise -- but one that is so true. If you understand that you will never be perfect and your mate cant possibly be perfect, then you can never have the perfect marriage. But, in knowing that, you can have a very happy marriage because you don't get upset or disallusioned when things go wrong.
I like how they bring out hard work in the relationship. I read another relationship expert who said we should emphasize having fun in our relationship too. If we are playing together, laughing together and having a great time, then there would be less problems to fix. The Romantic's Guide is a great book on thousands of fun tips and ideas couples can do to keep the romance alive.
