Soaring Beyond self is about the fourth state of consciousness. It permeates all the states and remains after the other three die. There is a path to experiencing this Ultimate Reality during a lifetime. This is the wisdom of the ancient philosophical treatises known as the Upanishads. Joined to it are insights of modern psychology, death education and neuroscience, punctuated with timeless spiritual passages. Directives emerge for touching that transcendent, all-bliss consciousness here and now. Memorable and famous personages pop in to enthrall and teach. The Divine Sarah. The young author who teaches us to fall. “The most powerful woman in the British Empire,” whose bust needs dusting. Text from Barry’s first book, Otherwise Fine, has been incorporated, particularly in the chapters addressing the fears of incompleteness and of not having mattered, as well as in the chapter on letting go of the physical frame. Praise for Otherwise Fine “Susan Barry performs a great service for us in this guide through the depths, reefs, shoals and safe channels of our death-related anxieties. She draws effectively from research findings and insightful observations that have too often remained out of sight in specialist libraries.” —Robert J. Kastenbaum, PhD, professor emeritus, Arizona State University. Author of Death, Society and Human Experience (Eleventh Edition), The Psychology of Death (Third Edition), and On Our Way: The Final Passage Through Life and Death. “This is a rare book that compiles strong scholarship with fascinating, honest, and even humorous, personal self-discovery. The vanity temptation of every writer or artist—preening or personal therapy—is overcome, which empathically benefits us all. The result is an original and important work.” —Michael Gregoric, PhD, professor emeritus, University of Connecticut. Author of Principles in Modern Dramatic Criticism. Contributor to Videotherapy in Mental Health.

Relationships are a fundamental part of life. They can motivate us, help us grow, and direct us to be who we are and do the things we do. They can bring joy, meaning, and purpose into our lives.

But if you’re in the wrong relationship—one that’s dysfunctional or just with the wrong partner—they can also be a source of frustration, pain, and unhappiness.

Relationships are our great teachers. By inspiring us to ultimately focus on the relationship we have with ourselves, we can create great relationships with others.

Dr. Mark R. Naim brings a holistic approach to relationship dynamics. In his work with countless couples and individuals, he inspires his patients to ask the big questions, in an attempt to get them to understand all the factors that influence the formation and health of their relationships. When you understand what’s really happening, you are in a position to make healthy choices that work and create changes for the better in your life.

The key to creating the relationship you want can be found by asking three fundamental questions:

• Who am I?

• Where am I going?

• Who is going with me?

As always, to find the right answers, you need to ask the right questions.

While describing and even celebrating some of the many benefits of drinking wine, beer and spirits (hard liquor) in moderation, Richard Thatcher’s Thinkin’ Drinkin’ also shares an abundance of ideas and scientific evidence that, when taken together, add up to a cautionary tale about careless drinking. The book is informed by Thatcher’s own troubled, early, and long-sustained experience with alcohol and his subsequent success at getting the problem under control. In addition, he brings a wealth of professional expertise to his writing task.

Dr. Thatcher draws upon various aspects of that accumulated knowledge to inform and provide guidance to help teens and young adults establish enjoyable, safe, worry-free approaches to drinking. These approaches can be readily adapted to any healthy lifestyle and can become good habits that last a lifetime. The author firmly believes that, if widely adopted, those “good habits” will save an enormous amount of heartache, emotional and physical injury, and many thousands of lives.
