The
Four Agreements
by Don Miquel Ruiz
A book that when understood
gives clear direction for living a life
of personal responsibility and loving relationships.
This "way of living" is consistent
with all religious traditions yet does not
take a religious point of view. If we were
all living these four agreements, we would
have more loving relationships, especially
with ourselves, a lot less drama, and a
high level of awareness about what we are
responsible for and what we are not. A life
changing philosophy that has survived for
hundreds of years and is still valid and
powerful. A great gift for someone ready
for a clearer and more responsible life.

A
New Earth
by Eckhart Tolle
This book needs little
introduction these days as Oprah has made
it one of the most popular books in the
world. Prepare to have your beliefs about
yourself and your life challenged in a profound
way. By becoming aware of how the ego has
confused and misled you and your choices,
you realize that awakening to your purpose
is awakening to the being your are and were
intended to be. When enough of us become
"conscious" or awakened, the world
will change and "a new earth will be
our reality."

story Byron Katie highlights one of the
most powerful processes in the world for
making change. Her story of how she discovered
this process called The Work, illustrates
what led her to depression, addiction, and

This led to the powerful realization that
