About Position for ‘I Do’ : How God Delivers Mr. Right into Your Life When You Live with Power and Purpose by Chengi Tobun

Position for ‘I Do’ is a conversation between women and God about internal processes and mindsets that will deliver the man they dream of in their lives. This book explores the role of a woman in a man’s life, the different types of men a woman must look out for and who she needs to be to attract the man of her dreams.

Chengi delves into the dating concerns of women from all over the world, teaches about attraction the way God intended, gives practical tips on how a woman can position herself to be noticed by the man she identifies as a potential mate in order to begin her vetting and selection process.

The author explores the concept of hiding to be found and challenges the status quo on the messages that are given to women about finding love and attraction. She teaches the erroneous positions women take internally and externally that lead them into vulnerable situations.

Position for I Do gives a much bigger view of Kingdom priorities and the part destiny plays with purpose in marriage. The ability for a woman to position herself in a powerful position aligns her with purpose and purpose can only resource her with what she needs to accomplish purpose and part of that resource is a mate.

This book will unfold many mysteries and explain singleness and men from a deep revelatory position that will change a woman’s paradigm of dating forever and for the best.

My Anxiety Companion – My Journey with my Mental Illness BY: Mel Bonthuys

About My Anxiety Companion – My Journey with my Mental Illness BY: Mel Bonthuys:

My Anxiety Companion has been described as a ‘refreshingly candid’ book, for it’s unique viewpoints on living alongside Anxiety, and focusing on long term recovery, rather than finding an instant cure.

Mel Bonthuys, who has struggled with Anxiety since 2001, was officially diagnosed in 2009, and has dedicated much of her life to trying different methods and techniques to fully rid herself of her anxiety disorder.

However, she found herself mostly disillusioned with many of these methods who promised ‘permanent guaranteed cures’, and after been treated successfully with medication, she decided to take a completely unique approach – by embracing and accepting her anxiety, and trying to find happiness within and along her journey to recovery.

Mel believes that many people think that a diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder means a life of doom and gloom, and wants to show people that even while on your recovery journey, it is possible to be happy and ambitious!

“Recovery from Mental Illness is not about popping a pill every night, and after a few months, you’re cured. If anyone claims this, then they are lying. I firmly don’t believe that!
Recovery from anxiety disorder is not linear!
Each and every person is different, and we all recover differently. Some of us are lucky and find the ultimate cure, but that doesn’t mean the next person will – that is just the reality of it.
Recovery is a long and tough journey, and for some of us, recovery is something that we will be in for the rest of our lives – and I want to show people that this is not a bad thing!

Being in recovery means that you are receiving the treatment that you need.
It means that you are getting better each day, and that should be celebrated!
It means living your life to the fullest, while working at yourself and your mind each and every day!”

This is what makes this book unique!

My Anxiety Companion doesn’t offer any guaranteed cures.
It also don’t tell you to ditch medication, and to live without it!
Instead, It gives you all the options out there, and encourages you to find what works for you!

“What I have found by befriending the anxiety, is that, the symptoms of anxiety gradually begin to disappear on their own. This is because we are training our minds to no longer fear the symptoms, and if we don’t fear them, they can no longer be a bother to us, and once they are no longer a bother to us, they have no power!”

Rational Empathy by Rohit Balakrishnan

About Rational Empathy by Rohit Balakrishnan:

Think about Morality/Ethics for a moment: Is right and wrong a mere personal opinion? Is it nothing more than a cultural construct? Or is it about teaching others how to behave from a position of authority? Rational Empathy is a book that explains why each of these popular notions regarding morality are wrong. Morality is based on empathy and derived through sheer logic! Why is morality important anyway? Morality has a little-known direct link with happiness – and contrary to popular perception, it is not about sacrificing ourselves for the rest of the world. Understanding morality helps us maximize happiness in our personal lives and bring more happiness to people whom we interact with or influence.

This book is not written for the philosophy enthusiast, but for the common man. It has the potential to change the way the field of moral philosophy is going to be looked at – mainly because of some reasons:

1). It explains the straight link between morality and happiness – and thus shows that being moral is not a sacrifice, but a win-win phenomenon which brings happiness primarily for ourselves in addition to those whom we interact with or influence.
2). It busts the myth that we are not in control of our feelings – this understanding gives us the ability to create happiness and reduce suffering in our lives.
3). It shows that like empathy and love are not in conflict with rationality and intellect – thus debunking the false conflict between valuing feelings and valuing truth.
4). Philosophically, it shows the logical derivation of objective morality – thus refuting the popular notions of morality being completely subjective or something defined by cultures, religions or any assumed authorities.

Shine: Nice People Negotiate Best: Juha Effect by Juha Effect

About Shine: Nice People Negotiate Best: Juha Effect by Juha Effect

What is the Negotiation?
What will be improved in your life if you develop the skill of negotiation? You can get what I want more easily, but suprisingly, your personal relationship and communication skills have also improved. Moreover, life itself is a continuance of relationships and communications, and business is also a combination of both. Successful people are already masters in the areas of communication and relations. Then shouldn’t we share same the psychology and mindset with those who are known to have succeeded? How unfair it is to live in the same age and not to have the skills they possess.
For this reason, the author shared many examples in this book and try to explain the secrets of how and why they became successful.

What impresses or inspires people is all created by a kind of agreement made through communication, a negotiation. In that sense, negotiation is not a hard concept at all. Rather, it’s a very warm and sensitive word that makes life easier and produces qualitative personal growth.

We are all wise. Let’s hope readers can get an important hint of a happy life through this book.

Forged Through Fire: Developing Preparedness for the Perilous Encounter by G. R. Burns

About Forged Through Fire: Developing Preparedness for the Perilous Encounter by G. R. Burns:

It is astonishing what happens to the human body under extreme amounts of traumatic stress, especially when facing interpersonal violence. The sad reality is that violent situations are dramatically escalating in the West. There is no assured way of preventing them, no way to avoid them, and no way to physically prepare for them.

It is a problem for which there is only one solution. It is a solution that whispers to us in every facet of our lives: we must be confident of who we are in light of a greater vision.

In Forged Through Fire: Developing Preparedness for the Perilous Encounter, Burns describes real readiness for the active shooter, the serial killer, or the intruder in your home. Perhaps even more importantly, he calls forth a deep understanding of who we are.
