In early 2017 Paul Watkins, a nerdy, bespectacled, father of two from a country town, took on one of the toughest races on the planet, the 6633 Arctic Ultra - a 583-kilometre unsupported solo race deep into the Arctic Circle. Four days in - frozen, hallucinating, broken and bewildered - Paul withdrew from the race, barely half way to the finish line. Two years later Paul returned to the Arctic. To face some demons and resolve unfinished business. Beyond the story of how this gruelling race unfolded - of pushing virtually non-stop for eight days in temperatures of -40c under the magnificent northern lights - this book details the lessons learnt along the way. How we deal with 'failure', why motivation doesn't equal discipline and how we let society undervalue us. Come on a wild adventure and discover how to find your own.

The Prophet, first published in 1923, is the story of a seer and his wisdom. The book's astonishing success turned it into a mystical and spiritual guide for the modern era and earned its author cult status. In the 1960s Gibran was embraced by the American counterculture movement and confirmed as the pioneer of the New Age. His messages remain powerful to this day. In one of 26 chapters the prophet Almustafa likens the soul to a battlefield, in which reason and passion seem locked in warring opposition; yet it is fruitless to fight either - instead, one must become a peacemaker and love these elements before seeking to heal oneself. God rests in reason and moves in passion. Such timeless wisdom is typical Gibran. He had originally envisaged a Prophet trilogy but only the first two of these were ever published, and both are included here. This book presents The Prophet and The Garden of the Prophet, together with selections from the writer's other philosophical and spiritual writings. With his uplifting inspirations Gibran, one of the most profound writers of all time, gives us eternal truths about human life and spirituality.

Angels embody the principles of compassion, kindness and love and remind us of the healing power of positive energy. This book is designed to help children share with you these loving and generous qualities through a collection of 20 inspiring stories of angelic intervention and assistance based on situations with which children can readily identify. Some of the stories describe angels taking the traditional form of a winged quasi-human presence; other stories explore more surprising angelic visitations, including a helpful bird and a kindly cowboy. Children are encouraged to look at the world with wonder, open to the ways in which positive energy can be found in unlikely places. Each story focuses on themes important for a child's personal development and growth to maturity, such as dispensing forgiveness, developing confidence and coping with uncertainty. Children will also find stories here to help them deal with common problems such as bullying and anxiety. Designed to be read either by parents working with children or by children on their own, these charming tales provide a gentle transition into sleep or make enjoyable daytime reading.

Thirty years ago the mysterious Priory of Sion revealed to the world that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and created a bloodline of descendants. Since then the Priory has remained silent...until now. In this book the Priory of Sion has a last chosen to reveal its secrets. Supported by exclusive interviews with Priory members as well as historical sources, Inside the Priory of Sion proves he existence of an 'underground stream' of secret knowledge and wisdom, accessible only to adepts, that flows through history. Clues to this knowledge lie hidden in symbolism found in tombs, temples, churches, manuscripts and paintings by the Old Masters. This book reveals that The Priory of Sion is releasing this information into the public domain not for its own purposes but to prepare the world for a catastrophe of global proportions. This apocalyptic event, foretold in the book of Revelation, culminates in a Second Coming - the emergence of a world saviour figure belonging to the bloodline o

Charles F. Haanel created his personal development programme, known as the Master Key System, in 1912. It has been hugely influential, inspiring Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich (1937), the first self-help book, and more recently (2006) the international bestseller The Secret. Millions of people worldwide now realise that success in life comes from more than just chance, fate, good connections, or even hard work. Rumour has it that while he was attending Harvard, Bill Gates discovered Charles F. Haanel's book, which prompted him to drop out of university and pursue his dream of 'a computer on every desk and in every home'. Thanks to books like The Secret, the 'law of attraction' has become well known, as a way to help us to shed negative attitudes and habits and fulfil our potential. Now here at last is the crucial next step: a book that places such ideas in the context of a practical daily process for attaining your goals. Haanel believed in positive action and hard work, but he also believed in the ability of every one of us to tap into the divine source of knowledge and wisdom that permeates the universe. Tapping the Source combines the timeless wisdom of Haanel with the benefits of a century of ground-breaking developments in the use of meditation, psychology and focused concentration to reach alpha states for peak performance. Tapping the Source teaches methods that enable you to manifest your dreams, becoming wholly connected with others and finding the means within yourself to live your life to its fullest. If life had an instruction manual with step-by-step instructions on how to achieve success and happiness, Tapping the Source would be that book.
