What is the real cause of unhappiness, and what is the cure? 
Few people have the courage or insight to see the truth behind our suffering: chronic negative emotions. 
Too often, we wake up one day and realize unhappily that we dont know who we are. We realize that life is slowly wearing us down, one step at a time, and painfully face the fact that we simply dont know how we lost ourselves, or more importantly, how we can find ourselves once again. 
The cause for this, as Masters explains, is simple: fear, guilt, anxiety, despair, tension, confusion, and other emotional reactions exert a powerful and cumulative hypnotic spell. In this spell, we lose our true selves in a maze of hazy, unseen forces - often never to be found again. We painfully realize that we are simply unhappy - and have no idea why, how we lost our peace of mind, or what we can do to become happy again. 
Roy Masters knows - the cause . . . and the cure. The remedy to unhappiness, once understood, is simple but profound: know your real self - and Roy shows you how. In this powerfully effective and practical book, he explains the simple remedy which strikes the cause of unhappiness at the root. 
This book can save lives, and can save you from spending thousands on drugs or years in therapy. The principles in this book, uniquely suited for modern times - yet rooted in the wisdom of the ages - have dramatically transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands already.

How to Conquer Negative Emotions

Tappan, Mel

Self-Help

Overcoming all your problems can be very simple; all it requires is a willingness to take an honest look at yourself. The secret to happiness, confidence, and real inner peace is a light-hearted attitude toward self-discovery. 
The adventure of all adventures is self-discovery. Yet this journey, like life itself, is full of dangers and traps - hidden pitfalls, and land mines. Navigating the pathways to life successfully is not a matter of mere luck, hard work, or good intentions; it is a matter of understanding. 
In this book, Roy Masters provides the road map. 
In practical and common-sense terms, Masters describes many of the major "land mines" of life, and how to avoid them. With such insightful chapters as "Rebellion and Conformity," "How To Have A Perfect Marriage," "Sex: The Substitute Love," "Be Still and Know," and "No One Has To Die," Masters communicates with insight that can be found nowhere else.

. . . 007 . . . Michael Jordon . . . Patton . . . Mother Theresa . . . Martin Luther King . . . 
What do we admire in our favorite heroes and heroines, athletes and movie stars? 
It is the secret known by the highest-level corporate executives . . . the greatest athletes . . . the greatest military leaders throughout history . . . 
It has been described as "grace under pressure" - the mysterious ability to hold your head when those about you are losing theirs . . . the ability to have poise and clarity amid even the most chaotic circumstances . . . 
But is this rare quality, so admired and sought for, really so rare and mysterious? 
Not at all, says Roy Masters. Rather, "grace under pressure" is simply the ability to handle stress properly - and this ability is a skill that can be taught. 
Two cashiers survive a robbery. One cashier goes on with his life; the other spends the rest of his life in therapy. Why? 
Stress handled improperly can lead to depression, anxiety, ulcers, and worse. Or, it can make you stronger - if you know how to handle it. Roy Masters teaches you how. 
In this book, the third in a series on the science of mental and emotional health, Masters explores the science of stress management. His practical and time-tested technique is light-years beyond mere relaxation or visualization exercises; rather, it is rooted on an ancient, simple, but powerfully effective system of self-knowledge. 
Life's stresses and aggravations, he describes, are hypnotic; the secret in dealing with them, therefore, lie in building your immunity to being hypnotized, through discovering your inherent, but often hidden, inner strength. 
Once you hear, understand, and embody the principles Masters describes, your identity is rooted on such solid ground, that nothing - none of the unexpected stresses that are inevitable in life - can shake you.

Hypnosis of Life

Hypnosis

Why are people unhappy? What makes people tick? Where do our thoughts and feelings come from? How can we find real happiness? 
In this explosive and revolutionary work, Roy Masters introduces possibly the most advanced psychological system known to man - Freud and the whole of modern psychology included. 
This introductory work explores the root cause of our unhappiness and suffering - living from our false self - and explains the cure: self-knowledge, brought about by a simple exercise of objective awareness which restores our true identity. 
Every human being is searching for the same thing: real happiness. Yet as Thoreau observed, "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." While we all anxiously search for this elusive state of happiness, the reality is that most of us are continually haunted by fear, doubt, confusion, anxiety, guilt, tension, and suffering through our entire lives. 
But occasionally, we glimpse that there might be something higher - a more real state of living, of true fulfillment. 
But how can we find it? How can we avoid a life of quiet desperation? 
In the modern world flooded with multitudes of therapies, gurus, drugs, medicines, and trendy psychological techniques, this simple but powerful system has for decades been helping hundreds of thousands of people find the happiness and confidence they had been searching for all of their lives. 
Discover the system and philosophy that has helped millions overcome drugs, alcoholism, and other various addictions, heal childhood and sexual traumas, solve relationship and marital difficulties, and answer personal problems of every kind. 
This book may hold the answer you have been looking for.

Mental Health

Freud realized that most of our present troubles and anxieties originate in the home. The way you relate to your parents sets the pattern for all of the relationships in your life. 
All too often we find that "Your past becomes your future." If we grew up with an alcoholic father, we marry an alcoholic, or become one ourselves. If we are abused, we marry an abuser, or become one ourselves. We marry a person, and realize one day that he or she is curiously like our father or mother. Why? 
Roy Masters, father of five and grandfather of twelve, reveals with unique and penetrating insight the underlying dynamics of family relationships: how they affect us, how they lead to our current problems, and what we can do to become free from the past - so we are free to develop strong and honest relationships with our own children and parents. 
"The process of becoming a real good parent is in itself a growing-up experience. As you correct your child, the naughty child in you is loved." 
With such hard-hitting chapters as "Parental Injustice: The Cause of Violence," "Fathers: Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do," "What Kind Of Woman Marries a Wimp?" and "The Power of Emotionless Love," Masters offers a map of our past so we can find freedom and peace in the present. This is a book every parent should read.

Personal Transformation

What is the secret of a happy marriage? What causes divorce, and what prevents it? What is the proper relationship between men and women? 
The scenario is familiar: a man and a woman - two intelligent, kind, well-meaning people, start a relationship . . . and within a period of time . . . hate each other. 
Or another scenario: you wake up one day and see the person you married, and ask yourself, "Who is this stranger?" 
Why? 
Roy Masters, in his classic masterpiece of psychological insight The Adam &amp; Eve Sindrome, explains with stunning clarity the underlying dynamics of the male/female relationship. 
Modern-day America is filled with divorce, antagonism, tension, and even violence between the sexes. Why? How do so many marriages begin in love and end in divorce - and how can we prevent it? 
The answer, Masters explains, lies in ancient wisdom: the age-old story of Adam and Eve. The story of Adam and Eve is not merely a historical fable, but is a living archetype, a pervasive pattern of male-female relationships which is continually re-enacted by individuals everywhere. The story of Adam and Eve story contains the underlying reasons why well-meaning men and women hope to find heaven - but too often, find hell. 
But there is a solution: beyond both patriarchy and matriarchy, relationships can be rooted in sanity, clarity, and real love, when they are based on ancient and hidden principles of self-knowledge. 
This provocative, revolutionary and eye-opening work is a unique and brilliant psychological analysis which far surpasses the ineffectual feel-good relationship therapies so prevalent today, and lays bare the real mechanics of the male-female dynamics. 
Find out what is really going on between men and women; discover the secrets of a successful marriage, the true reasons for divorce, the dynamics of real love, and much more in the provocative and life-changing book.

Psychology & Counseling

What is sex? 
Is it a harmless source of fun and pleasure? A sinful, evil indulgence? Is the proper attitude toward sexuality casual and carefree, or cautious and serious? Is the real basis of sexuality a natural, physical "animal instinct," - or something of a deeper nature? 
Almost no one is free of sexual conflict. Few people understand the roots of this conflict . . . let alone the cure. 
What is the truth behind this vital topic? Is the answer repression, or promiscuity . . . or neither? Few subjects dominate our lives the way sexuality does, and few subjects are the source of so much confusion, disagreement, and suffering. 
What is really going on between men and women? What lies at the root of the tension, conflict, and even violence between the sexes? What is the secret of a happy marriage, and what are the reasons for divorce? Is a relationship, free of conflict and full of love, possible? 
Roy Masters, in this searingly insightful work, lays bare the underlying dynamics of one of the most vital topics of all.

Understanding Sexuality: The Mystery of Our Lost Identities

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." 
What power do words have over you? 
If you receive a compliment, do you swell with pride? If someone insults you, do you crumble into depression, guilt, or anger? 
The Secret Power Of Words explains how words are mere noises which in themselves have no inherent meaning, except for what we project through them. Yet, words can rule our lives and drive us to feel and behave in reactive, unconscious, and destructive ways. 
Words are the material out of which cruel people spin a hypnotic web of confusion, misery, and lifelong slavery. The influence of words lead to an oversensitivity to other peoples words, can erode faith and confidence in your own perceptions. 
It is possible to break the spell of words. Roy Masters explains how to become free from their hypnotic power.

Success

Zone Once you escape into the "zone," you may become lost there forever. What is the "zone"? 
It is a state of mind, body, and soul that we all run to when we find ourselves unable to deal properly with the pressures of the world. The doorway into the "zone" is a false need for comfort: when fulfilled, it causes more hunger. 
In moments of confusion, anger, and fear, everyone experiences this primal need to "escape." The comfort we seek seems like an oasis in the desert, the answer to our anguish. But by escaping into a comfort zone, we actually make ourselves vulnerable to all kinds of misery, suffering, and addiction. 
Almost everyone is addicted to something. To the alcoholic its liquor; to the drug adddict its some mind-altering substance; to the people pleaser it may simply be a kind word or a pat on the back. Even such simple acts as knitting, stamp collecting, or goal-forming can serve essentially the same purpose as a drink to the alcoholic. 
The first step in breaking free lies in becoming aware of how our "escape routes" have transformed into prison chains which dominate our lives. Only then will we be in a position to choose between our old enslavements and a new opportunity for freedom.
