We all want to know how to find a soul mate, what career would be most fulfilling, how to live a life with meaning, and how to teach our children well. We are looking for a personal breakthrough, a turning point, a revelation that brings with it new meaning. The Book of Secrets--a crystalline distillation of insights and wisdom accumulated over the lifetime of one of the great spiritual thinkers of our time--provides an exquisite new tool for achieving just that.
Every life is a book of secrets, ready to be opened. The secret of perfect love is found there, along with the secrets of healing, compassion, faith, and the most elusive one of all: who we really are. We are still mysteries to ourselves, despite the proximity of these answers, and what we most long to know remains lodged deep inside.
Because answers to the questions at the center of life are counterintuitive, they are often hidden from view, sequestered from our everyday gaze. In his ongoing quest to elevate our experience, bestselling author Deepak Chopra has isolated fifteen secrets that drive the narrative of this inspiring book--and of our lives. From "The World Is in You" and "What You Seek, You Already Are" to "Evil Is Not Your Enemy" and "You Are Truly Free When You Are Not a Person," The Book of Secrets is rich with insights, a priceless treasure that can transport us beyond change to transformation, and from there to a sacred place where we can savor the nectar of enlightenment.
"The Book of Secrets is the finest and most profound of Deepak Chopra’s books to date. Want the answers to the secrets of life? Let me recommend that you start right here." -- Ken Wilber, author of A Brief History of Everything

Richard Marcinko's explosive #1 "New York Times" bestselling autobiography, "Rogue Warrior," chronicled the wild, death-defying adventures of his thirty controversial years as a Navy commando and creator of the legendary SEAL TEAM SIX. Three blockbuster "Rogue Warrior" novels transformed classified information he could never reveal in nonfiction into blistering tales of international warfare and counterterrorism. Now, writing in the tradition of "A Book of Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's greatest samurai, Marcinko blasts other self-help guides out of the water. In LEADERSHIP SECRETS OF THE ROGUE WARRIOR, he shows how anyone can apply the skills he has honed throughout his remarkable career to the challenges of business and everyday life.In the raucous, no-holds-barred style for which he is famed, Marcinko uses examples from his own missions plus case studies of Fortune 500 companies and smaller businesses to clarify the leadership principles derived from his Ten Commandments of Special Warfare, including:
"I shall punish thy bodies because the more thou sweatest in training, the less thou bleedest in combat."
American businesses are rediscovering that excellence and perfection are useful conceptual tools. The more you train, the more you will be prepared for Murphy's inevitable visits. Remember that your troops (employees) are your greatest asset; see to it that they are prepared for any contingency.
"Thou shalt never assume."
Realize that no two people see the same situation the same way. Remember that all strategies, yours and your competitors', contain hidden or "working" assumptions -- identify and examine them. Respect other team members' views, for theymay see hidden truths that you have missed.
"Verily, thou art not paid for thy methods, but for thy results, by which meaneth thou shalt kill thine enemy by any means available before he killeth you."
Take risks to conquer new markets, create new products, or increase profits -- but do nothing that will compromise your character. Judgment and discretion are the hallmarks of a professional. Know yourself, and act accordingly. The success of a strategy is measured by results, but the character of an organization is measured by how it achieves them.
With rightful scorn for those who attempt to lead from "on high," Marcinko reveals the true nature of dynamic, gutsy, front-line leadership. As provocative, bold, and entertaining as the man himself, "LEADERSHIP SECRETS OF THE ROGUE WARRIOR" presents the simple -- but profound -- principles wrested from hard-earned experience that have made him an extraordinary success, both in and out of the military.

In Gay Girl, Good God , author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless, experienced gender confusion, and embraced both masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could?
At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel.
Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

The SPEED of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything Stephen M.R. Covey , Rebecca R. Merrill
The SPEED of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything Stephen M.R. Covey , Rebecca R. Merrill
Stephen M. R. Covey shows how trust—and the speed at which it is established with clients, employees, and all stakeholders—is the single most critical component of a successful leader and organization.
Stephen M. R. Covey, widely known as one of the world’s leading authorities on trust, asserts that it is “the most overlooked, misunderstood, underutilized asset to enable performance. Its impact, for good or bad, is dramatic and pervasive. It’s something you can’t escape.” Thankfully, it’s is also the thing that can dramatically improve your personal and professional success.
Why trust? The simple, often overlooked fact is this: work gets done with and through people. The Speed of Trust offers an unprecedented and eminently practical look at exactly how trust functions in every transaction and every relationship—from the most personal to the broadest, most indirect interaction. It specifically demonstrates how to establish trust intentionally so that you and your organization can forego the time-killing, bureaucratic check-and-balance processes that is so often deployed in lieu of actual trust.
This 2018 updated edition includes an insightful afterword by the author which explores ten key reasons why trust is more relevant now than ever before—including how trust is the new currency of our world today.
