Harmonic Wealth by James Arthur Ray

James Arthur Ray is a dynamic speaker. I attended one of his seminars a while back with at least 1,000 other people. The hotel meeting room was packed. And we all sat mesmerized for a couple hours. I've never been in the presence of so many like-minded people. Visit his website for the free seminar and teleconference schedule.

James Arthur Ray is a philosopher and one of the teachers with The Secret. He's been a guest on The Oprah Show and Larry King Live.



Harmonic Wealth was recently released and it's quickly becoming a best seller. Don't miss it.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a classic. I've read the book a few times and listened to the audio version several times. I hear new things each time. Maybe it's because I hear the things that apply at the time. The habits are universal principals that Stephen R. Covey brings to life.

The 7 Habits are . . .
1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with the End in Mind
3. Put First Things First
4. Think Win/Win
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw

This book is recommended for anyone looking for personal growth.

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

The Secret was one of the most popular books last year. The Secret is no secret. It's the Law of Attraction. If you know what you want, you can bring it into your life. Focus, concentrate and keep all negative thoughts out of your mind. If you want something bad enough, it will happen. At least that's what the author, Rhonda Byrne, and her experts claim.

Featured in The Secret are . . .

Jack Canfield, author of the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

John Assaraf, author, lecturer and business advisor.

Bob Proctor, author and philosopher.

James Arthur Ray, author, lecturer and coach.

And many others.

The Secret on CD was riviting to watch - several times. I believe it's possible to attract into our lives, the things we focus on. But, it's not magic. I think it's hard work.

I recommend this book for its possitive attitude and optimism.

Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson

Who Moved My Cheese is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change. It's an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a “Maze” and look for “Cheese” to nourish them and make them happy.

“Cheese” is a metaphor for what you want to have in life – whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind.

The "Maze” is where you look for what you want – the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in.

The story's four characters, two Mice and two Little people, represent parts of all of us regardless of our age, gender, race or nationality. We all share something in common - A need to find our way in The Maze and succeed in changing times!

The characters are faced with unexpected change. Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the maze walls. When you come to see “The Handwriting on the Wall,” you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life.

Who Moved My Cheese is written for all ages. If you listen to the CD, the story takes a little over an hour to listen to, but its unique insights can last a lifetime.

A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

More than a million people are being awakened to their life's purpose and Oprah Winfrey is leading the way. To fully experience A New Earth, become a member at www.oprah.com .

Eckhart Tolle's and Oprah's interpretations and discussion of A New Earth are held online every Monday evening at 9:00 pm ET. If you can't make the live webcast, they're recorded and available here .

Oprah also provides lots of resources on her site.

I'm reading the book and trying hard to understand it. Being a Catholic, I'm leary of anything even hinting at New Age. But, I'm not sure exactly what New Age is. So, I'm carefully reading the book. I'm getting the feeling that even though Eckhart Tolle talks about Jesus, Buddha and spirituality, it's not so much in the religious faith sense that I think of Jesus. He seems to be saying that you and I are above God. Or is he saying we ARE God? I'm not sure.

So far, I'm finding the book to be interesting, but puzzling. According to Oprah, you either "get it" or you don't. And if you don't "get it," you're not ready to be awakened.

By the time I finish A New Earth - IF I make it to the end of the book - I just might decide that I don't "get it." Either way, it's sparked conversation with everyone I talk with.
