Every wife who desires a deeper, more meaningful relationship with her husband is sure to appreciate Stormie’s candor and encouragement in this practical book.

The trials and pressures of modern life can make the prospect of a fulfilled, meaningful marriage seem impossible. In The Power of a Praying Wife, popular Christian author and speaker Stormie Omartian pinpoints common marital struggles and reveals the miraculous way that disciplined prayer can alleviate heartache and sustain unity. According to Omartian, a marriage’s success depends upon “laying down all claim to power in and of yourself, and relying on God’s power to transform you, your husband, your circumstances, and your marriage.” Omartian attributes the success of her own 25-year marriage to dedicated prayer for every area–however specific–of her husband’s life; from his finances and his work to his integrity and his temptations. Each chapter offers insight into areas that are especially important to men, followed by “power tools” (inspiring, topical Scripture) to guide one’s prayer life and transform a woman’s mind with regard to her husband. This practical read will encourage women to trust God to change their spouse, and undoubtedly refocus one’s perspective on God’s power rather than one’s own personal predicament. –Jill Heatherly

Mindfulness for Beginners

Product Description
Use the power of your imagination to create what you want in life. It is the art of using mental imaginary and affirmation to produce positive changes in your life.Amazon.com Review
When it comes to creating the life you want, Shakti Gawain literally wrote the book. Now considered a classic, Creative Visualization teaches readers how to use their imaginations to manifest their deepest desires. In a straight-talking narrative, Gawain uses the first part to cover the basics, with chapters such as “How to Visualize,” “Affirmations,” and “Creative Visualization Only Works for the Good.” Once she shows readers how visualization actually works, Gawain moves on to loftier discussions, such as “Contacting Your Higher Self,” “Meeting Your Guide,” “Setting Goals,” and “Treasure Maps.”

Fear not; this isn’t a spiritual-lightweight book for people with a severe case of the “gimmes.” Gawain has her priorities in the right place, and she cautions readers that creative visualization will not serve greed or shallow-minded thinking. For example, she discourages the cycle of trying to have more money, so you can do what you want in life, so you will be happier. “The way it actually works is the reverse,” she explains. “You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.” Yet she also writes an excellent chapter on letting go of the misguided guilt that inhibits readers from becoming truly prosperous. –Gail Hudson

Quite possibly the best-reviewed women’s dating book on Amazon as of 5 July 2011 — 4.96/5 stars!
I believe that smart, successful women should have it all — both a great career AND a rich, warm, fulfilling love life. Agreed? Then read on.

As an advisor at Harvard, I noticed that smart women like yourself were having unfulfilling love lives on an epidemic scale. They either couldn’t find the right guy, were with the wrong guy, had relationships that didn’t last, or had given up on dating entirely. Since these were my dear friends, this absolutely killed me. So I decided to write a book to remedy the situation — The Tao of Dating: The Smart Woman’s Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible.

This is not your grandma’s dating guide. Partially because I am not your grandma, and partially because the 21st century poses unprecedented challenges to the modern woman. You’ve got grad school, a high-powered career, yoga class and a dog, and sometimes it seems that there just isn’t time for love. Moreover, a lot of guys seem to be less educated and less affluent than you. Grandma didn’t cover that.

The Tao of Dating for Women combines ancient wisdom with modern science to give smart, successful women like yourself a heart-centered, science-based, practical guide to finding fulfillment in your love lives — and far beyond. The plan is simple: first, figure out who you really are and what you really want. Then find a man, attract him and keep him in your life. I give it all to you in a progression of small, easy steps that put the fun back in dating, plus the science and reasoning behind it so you can trust where it all comes from.

Moreover, at the risk of incurring the wrath of all men, you get the insider secrets about how guys really think from someone who’s been a guy professionally for over 30 years. How do men think about beauty, intimacy, commitment and sex? What’s the best way to attract them? What drives them away? What makes them want to stay forever? I spill the beans.

Also in there: the Magic Question; the Tiered Approach; the 3 ways to make a man fall in love with you; Rejection-Proofing; and the Passion Formula. This isn’t a book so much as it is a life plan — the plan for you to enjoy the rest of your life. As such, I sincerely hope this is the last material on dating you’ll ever need to buy.

Product Description

Hofstadter’s great achievement in Gödel, Escher, Bach was making abstruse mathematical topics (like undecidability, recursion, and ’strange loops’) accessible and remarkably entertaining. Borrowing a page from Lewis Carroll (who might well have been a fan of this book), each chapter presents dialogue between the Tortoise and Achilles, as well as other characters who dramatize concepts discussed later in more detail. Allusions to Bach’s music (centering on his Musical Offering) and Escher’s continually paradoxical artwork are plentiful here. This more approachable material lets the author delve into serious number theory (concentrating on the ramifications of Gödel’s Theorem of Incompleteness) while stopping along the way to ponder the work of a host of other mathematicians, artists, and thinkers.

The world has moved on since 1979, of course. The book predicted that computers probably won’t ever beat humans in chess, though Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov in 1997. And the vinyl record, which serves for some of Hofstadter’s best analogies, is now left to collectors. Sections on recursion and the graphs of certain functions from physics look tantalizing, like the fractals of recent chaos theory. And AI has moved on, of course, with mixed results. Yet Gödel, Escher, Bach remains a remarkable achievement. Its intellectual range and ability to let us visualize difficult mathematical concepts help make it one of this century’s best for anyone who’s interested in computers and their potential for real intelligence. –Richard Dragan

Topics Covered: J.S. Bach, M.C. Escher, Kurt Gödel: biographical information and work, artificial intelligence (AI) history and theories, strange loops and tangled hierarchies, formal and informal systems, number theory, form in mathematics, figure and ground, consistency, completeness, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, recursive structures, theories of meaning, propositional calculus, typographical number theory, Zen and mathematics, levels of description and computers; theory of mind: neurons, minds and thoughts; undecidability; self-reference and self-representation; Turing test for machine intelligence.

Expanding on his mantra—Get out of your head and into the moment—Eckhart Tolle offers this new book on living in the now. Here Tolle emphasizes the art of “inner stillness”–the place where thoughts, ego and attachments fall always and we are left only with what the moment has to offer: “When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.” Don’t expect this to be a quick skim or even a straight-through read. Like his previous bestselling book The Power of Now, Tolle uses brief entries and numerous white spaces to give readers easy in-and-out access into enticing spiritual insights that expound on inner stillness, such as learning the difference between surrender and resignation, overcoming the fear death, and how to end suffering. In fact, this is designed to be an ongoing conversation. Pick it up any time or any place, but be sure to allow for plenty of breaks for serious contemplation. Even as you occasionally abandon the book, don’t abandon the teachings, pleads Tolle. Embracing and practicing inner stillness is no longer a luxury, he writes, “but a necessity if humankind is not to destroy itself. At the present time the dysfunction of the old consciousness and the arising of the new are both accelerating. Paradoxically things are getting worse and bett! er at the same time, although ‘the worse’ is more apparent because it makes so much noise.” Devotees who have read all of Tolle’s books and audio tapes probably won’t find new ideas or information here. But they may appreciate the refresher course –revisiting familiar concepts in a slightly different package. –Gail Hudson

Product Description
In this groundbreaking union of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin explores the connection between music—its performance, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy it—and the human brain. Drawing on the latest research and on musical examples ranging from Mozart to Duke Ellington to Van Halen, Levitin reveals:
• How composers produce some of the most pleasurable effects of listening to music by exploiting the way our brains make sense of the world
• Why we are so emotionally attached to the music we listened to as teenagers, whether it was Fleetwood Mac, U2, or Dr. Dre
• That practice, rather than talent, is the driving force behind musical expertise
• How those insidious little jingles (called earworms) get stuck in our heads

And, taking on prominent thinkers who argue that music is nothing more than an evolutionary accident, Levitin argues that music is fundamental to our species, perhaps even more so than language. This Is Your Brain on Music is an unprecedented, eye-opening investigation into an obsession at the heart of human nature.
