	The Mind Map Book Tony Buzan This work explains both the fundamental operation of the human brain in terms of its thinking processes and how to unleash and harness its untapped power. It is a comprehensive guide to "Mind Maps", a revolutionary method of accessing intelligence, developed over many years by Tony Buzan and his brother Barry. Mind Mapping is relevant to absolutely everyone, as the technique offers new ways of using and improving memory, concentration and creativity in planning and structuring thought on all levels. A key goal for all individuals, especially those in business and education communities, is to accelerate their ability to learn, remember and record information. A Mind Map's radiating structure, reflecting the natural architecture of the brain, allows rapid expansion and exploration of an idea in note form, resulting in a clear and concise picture or map of all the relevant interlinked points for inclusion in further written matter, presentations and reports. Thus, an idea can be quickly and profoundly explored while simultaneously maintaining clear focus on the central theme

	Excuse ME, Your Life Is Waiting Lynn Grabhorn In an upbeat, humorous, and somewhat irreverent style, Lynn Grabhorn introduces us to the amazing Law of Attraction, a new and rapidly unfolding realm of feelings that physicians, scientists, physicists, and theologians are coming to believe is very, very real. Excuse me your life is waiting clarifiers why most of our dreams have never materialised, why the majority of us have lived with all-too-empty bank accounts, tough relationships, failing health, and often spiritually unfulfilling lives. Most importantly, in an easy-to-read style peppered with logical explanations, simple steps, and true-life examples, Lynn Grabhorn shows us how to turn it all around-right now.
	How to Make Your Dreams Come True Mark Forster Most people think of life as either something that happens to them or as something which they have to bend to their will. Life in short is seen as a series of problems requiring solutions. As a result people spend much of their lives either in escape activities or driving themselves to achieve, often both at the same time. But life becomes qualitatively different when we see it as a theatre in which we decide what is going to happen and then let it happen in the way that an artist will allow his or her creation to appear. To achieve this we need to learn how to 'set' our minds so that they take us in the direction that we wish to go. We need ways of freeing ourselves from the patterns of the past and of making every moment of every day as perfect as possible.

	Living Your Best Life Laura Berman Fortgang Just imagine if you didn't have to agonize over difficult decisions. If you could feel absolute confidence in the choices you made, regardless of the outcome. If you could dispense with decisions altogether, on the basis that you always knew what to do. Well, it's perfectly possible, according to top US lifecoach, Laura Berman Fortgang. Each of us possesses an internal compass which expresses our individual wisdom and points to the things which would make us happiest. It is perfectly possible to tap into this wisdom, to listen to our gut instincts and to make them the basis for sound life decisions. This title demonstrates how to live in tune with our inner wisdom on a daily basis, with a combination of practical exercises, client scenarios and questions to ponder. Combining intuition (the skill of the moment) and wisdom (knowing how to tap into that intuition and what to do with it), Laura Berman Fortgang shows us how to get in touch with our inner self.
