SELF MATTERS: Creating Your Life From the Inside Out

Phillip C. McGraw, PhD

“Warning: This is an extremely direct, plain-talking, tell-you-the-unvarnished truth, common-sense book about how to take control of our entire life.” – Dr. Phil McGraw

You either “love” or “hate” Phil McGraw’s style of getting to the core issues that keep you from achieving the “life I want”. In the fast-paced intensity of today’s world, we are besieged by situations and demands that often obscure the fact of who we are, and what we are here to accomplish. Dr. Phil forces us to take a hard look at our lives by asking ourselves probing questions: “Is this the person I want to be?” “Has playing it safe become my only purpose?” “Is this the kind of life I want?” “Am I fulfilling my purpose for being on this earth?” For Dr. Phil, the answer is clear: Don’t settle for a lackluster existence! The practical, real world advice contained in this no-nonsense plan to effect changes will re-ignite your passion for living.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE LIGHT CHASERS: Reclaiming Your Power, Creativity, Brilliance, and Dreams

Debbie Ford

In The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford provides insight into the way relationships often provide clues into our own “hidden nature”. Rather than standing entrenched in Victim consciousness, blaming others for our unhappiness, shortcomings, and misery, Ford encourages the reader to “own up to” the hidden aspects of our true nature – the Dark Side or Shadow Side –and recognize that these attributes of self are often what “frustrate” us when dealing with others. We are encouraged to reconcile our darker impulses, discover the gifts they hold, and reclaim our individual wholeness in all its beauty.

Debbie Ford

The Secret of the Shadow takes us a step further, as Ford guides us through the discovery that our personal dramas, or stories – the collection of beliefs, attitudes and behaviors – contain important information and wisdom that can help us discover our essential selves and our true purpose in life. She helps us to understand that hidden in the shadow of our stories are our unique gifts and personal magnificence. As we make the inner journey of embracing our story and all its ingredients, we begin to see a life that is graced by the presence of Actual Self.

REMOVING THE MASKS THAT BIND US

John Randolph Price

Discovering the “false faces” we present to others can be a major step in improving all aspects of life – relationships, career advancement, personal fulfillment. These masks are ways that the various “shadow” aspects of self show themselves. They are part of the “costume” we don in order to support our various “dramas” or stories.  While they may not be as apparent as physical debility or illness, they consume personal energy in enormous amounts. Price uses his personal experiences as a springboard to explore the 12 major masks that are commonly worn. Many of us wear more than one mask –depending on the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
