YOURS : THE AUTHORS

Reading Consciously what is that?

Why is it important? press this link to my blog

This is CONSCIOUS LEARNING, studying the author and ourselves at the same time.

We look at the authors beliefs, and contrast them to our own.
We are choosing to see how our beliefs about this subject impact the skills we learn and the actions we take in life.

This is a slow way to read books and a fast way to learn knowledge and skills to change our lives.

What valuable knowledge you want to learn?

SUGGEST A BOOK - call me if you have a book suggestion

We can own our beliefs OR we can transform them

If you want to learn about finance its likely your beliefs may be different from the authors , when our subconscious beliefs align with our conscious beliefs we stop arguing with our selves and just get on with our lives.

We may have conflicting conscious beliefs for instance maybe I want to have financial abundance at the same time I may believe that I have to help anyone who has less money than myself. This is likely to be challenging it would be helpful for these beliefs to come into relationship with type of life you want to live.

The reason you haven’t reached your goal is because parts of you are in conflict

We will be sharing and discussing in group, each person decides for themselves which beliefs they are interested in working with. We will set the intent of creating a space of learning which is a space of curiosity. While also knowing that each time we are challenged and feel uncomfortable, we have an opportunity to learn something more about our selves and our beliefs. It will be a safe space to transform.

Start with Why

The ability to inspire those around you and to achieve remarkable things starts with WHY. Any organization can explain what it does; some can explain how they do it; but very few can clearly articulate why. Those who start with WHY never manipulate, they inspire.

Motivation why, inspiration a good reminder - Wendy

You were Born Rich

Zig Ziglar may be the master motivator, Mark Victor Hansen of Chicken Soup For the Soul, the master storyteller; Anthony Robbins may be the guru of personal development, but Bob Proctor is the master thinker. When it comes to systematizing life, no oneelse can touch him. He is simply the best. Bob Proctor collects thoughts like Imelda Marcos used to collect shoes. He strings them together in exquisite arrays; one thought leading logically to the next until a whole method has been constructed. In You Were Born Rich, Bob Proctor has done it again, this time taking you step by step to the surprising discovery that success is not always reaching out for something that you don't have but rather only reaching over and rearranging the pieces already there. The great value of this book is that you can instantly apply the conclusions to your own life. It will begin to impact you long before you reach the last chapter

I listened to Bob proctor for a while when the girls were little he starts with seeing your own belief paradigms - his basic unpacking at the start of my journey was really helpful. - Wendy

TRIGGERS - Creating Behavior That Lasts - Becoming the Person You Want to Be

Our reactions don't occur in a vacuum. They are usually the result of unappreciated triggers in our environment--the people and situations that lure us into behaving in a manner diametrically opposed to the colleague, partner, parent, or friend we imagine ourselves to be. These triggers are constant and relentless and omnipresent. So often the environment seems to be outside our control. Even if that is true, as Goldsmith points out, we have a choice in how we respond

This book tells of a highpowered coaches conversation about triggers- Wendy

TheoryU

We live in a time of massive institutional failure that manifests in the form of three major divides: the ecological, the social, and the spiritual.

In this groundbreaking book, Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world in new ways and in so doing discover a revolutionary approach to learning and leadership. By moving through Scharmer's U process, we consciously access the blind spot and learn to connect to our authentic Self--the deepest source of knowledge and inspiration. Theory U offers a rich diversity of compelling stories, examples, exercises, and practices that allow leaders, organizations, and larger systems to cosense and coshape the future that is wanting to emerge. I haven't read this book and would love the excuse to delve into it. - Wendy

Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

This bestselling modern classic, reissued with a beautiful new cover design, is a story for people who want to follow their dreams and make their own rules and has inspired people for decades. ‘Most gulls don’t bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight – how to get from shore to food and back again,’ writes author Richard Bach in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. ‘For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.’ Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes this story soar. This bestselling modern classic is a fable about seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe or neighborhood finds your ambition threatening (at one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock). By not compromising his higher vision, Jonathan learns the meaning of love and kindness and gets the ultimate payoff – transcendence- Loved this short Book thanks Tui for sending my a copy . Make sure read the version with the last chapter included. It ties the whole story together - Wendy

Hexwood

All I did was ask you for a role-playing game. You never warned me I'd be pitched into it for real! And I asked you for hobbits on a Grail quest, and not one hobbit have I seen!" Hexwood Farm is a bit like human memory; it doesn't reveal its secrets in chronological order. Consequently, whenever Ann enters Hexwood, she cannot guarantee on always ending up in the same place or even the same time.

This book has so many layers of humanness, of myth and history of implicate order/ the unseen worlds and normal worlds mixing up. - Wendy

The Unschooling Handbook

To Unschoolers, Learning Is As Natural As Breathing Did you know that a growing percentage of home schoolers are becoming unschoolers? The unschooling movement is founded on the principle that children learn best when they pursue their own natural curiosities and interests. Without bells, schedules, and rules about what to do and when, the knowledge they gain through mindful living and exploration is absorbed more easily and enthusiastically. Learning is a natural, inborn impulse, and the world is rich with lessons to be learned and puzzles to be solved. Successful unschooling parents know how to stimulate and direct their children's learning impulse. Once you read this book, so will you!

HypnoBirthing

It greatly reduces the pain of labor and childbirth; frequently eliminates the need for drugs; reduces the need for caesarian surgery or other doctor-controlled birth interventions; and it also shortens birthing and recovery time, allowing for better and earlier bonding with the baby, which has been proven to be vital to the mother-child bond.
