        The Master Key System by Charles Haanel

        I Dare You! by William H. Danforth

        I agree that a businessman should stick to business. But a proven four-fold program, plus a love for Youth, plus an inner urge-all dare me to write this book. "I Dare You" is for the daring few who are headed somewhere. Those afraid to Dare might as well pass it up. It will weary the lazy because it calls for immediate action. It will bore the sophisticated, and amuse the skeptics. It will antagonize others. Some will not even know what it is all about. It will not be over-popular because it calls for courage, swift and daring. But in the eyes of you, one of the priceless few, I trust will come a renewal of purpose as you read on. You can be a bigger person than you are and I am going to prove it to you. I am indebted beyond measure to Gordon M. Philpott, who has been of inestimable help in the writing and editing of "I Dare You." His keen insight, his rare judgment and his frank criticisms have helped make this book a labor of love instead of a drab task. I honor him as a close associate in business, but most of all I cherish him as an understanding friend.

        Steps To Success: think yourself rich

        It is your right to be rich, you know. You're here to lead the abundant life. You are here to be happy, radiant and free. You should therefore have all the wealth you need to live a full, happy and prosperous life, of course you should. You are here to grow, expand and unfold spiritually, mentally, and materially, and professionally. You have the inalienable right to fully develop, to express yourself in all ends. You should surround yourself with beauty and luxury. Why be satisfied with just enough to go around, when you can enjoy the riches of your subconscious mind?

        The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel

        Charles F. Haanel was a successful business man who discovered that spiritual life is a key to success in everything you do. He proved that what is happening outside is in a direct relation to what is taking place in your consciousness. When the Master Key was published, it was one of those books that successful business men wanted out of the market. They didn't want people to read this book as its truths would help anyone to overcome limitations. He explains in very plain language how to create your own world according to your own desires in accordance with your level of discipline in attaining your goals. The rumor is that when Bill Gates was just a student, he read this book and utilized its truths. Rest is history.

        The Habit of Saving by Napoleon Hill

        - The Law of Habit...and how you automatically apply it. - The simple two-step process to increase your earning power. - How to think and talk your way to success. - The two classes of debt...and which one you should avoid like the plague. - Why a poverty consciousness will affect your health. - The two-step process that will get rid of poverty for good. - Why you think the wrong way around when you have some money. - How saving can lead to success in other areas of your life. - The shocking truth about the savings of 98% of people. - How to assure your financial independence.

        Book Description

        In the action-packed conclusion to the saga of the Liaden Universe(r), the war between Clan Korval and the sinister Department of the Interior escalates as the DOI attempts to recruit Val Con's less than scrupulous cousin to their cause...

        Customer Reviews:

        5 out of 5 stars You can't keep a good Liaden down.......2007-09-19

        This is the fifth and concluding volume in the story arc that began with _Agent of Change,_ and it's a rip-roarer. Each of the volumes has focused of a separate individual (or couple) in Clan Korval and this time it's Pat Rin yos'Phelium, a professional gambler and supposed ne'er-do-well -- but he's still Liaden to his marrow, and still Korval. Plan B has sent the scattered clan into hiding all across the galaxy and Pat Rin, in planning his revenge on those whom he erroneously believes have murdered everyone else in his family, settles on Surebleak as a base of operations -- the very world where Miri Robertson, lifemate of Pat Rin's nephew, Val Con, was born. The methods by which Pat Rin begins taking the place over are fascinating and illuminating in the differences between Liaden and Terran psychology. And, of course, Pat Rin acquires a love interest of his own. Meanwhile, Shan yos'Galan and his now-armed trading ship on the one hand, and Val Con and Miri and their mercenary contacts on the other hand, are pursuing their own somewhat divergent courses in suppressing the Department of the Interior. And there are always the Clutch turtles, following their own alien path. We also meet Daav yos'Phelium, Val Con's long-missing father, who hears about what's going on and comes back to the clan from whom he had separated himself decades before. It's all a very satisfying and very well thought-out wrap-up -- especially the climatic appearance of the many branches of the family in orbit around Liad.

        4 out of 5 stars Thi s stays in my library forever.......2005-12-01

        Once in a while a book comes along that goes beyand its category. This is labeled as a sci-fi, but these are people, whether in the past or the future, people you care about, people you would like to know. I do not think much of the present sci-fi offerings, but this makes up for it. It is a must have!!!

        5 out of 5 stars Definitely the best in the series so far!!! Great!!!.......2003-07-20

        This is, depending on how you count, the seventh novel in the Liaden Universe series. However, Meisha Merlin published two novels, _Local Custom_ and _Scout's Progress_, as one volume (entitled _Pilot's Choice_), and another three novels as one volume, so depending on what editions one buys, there are only four volumes so far. The authors predict a total of seven volumes, so we have more to look forward to. And this book certainly leaves one eager to order anything and everything else they care to write in the series!

        It's a good idea, if you're not familiar with the series, to read them all; while this is a rousing good space opera in its own right, it is even better if you have followed the series. You could get by without the _Pilot's Choice_ volume, but you really need, at the very least, _Agent of Change_, _Carpe Diem_, and _Plan B_ to get the most out of _I Dare_. Agent and Carpe are two of the three novels in the _Partners in Necessity_ volume, so if you get that, you'll get _Conflict of Honors_ too. That's the first one I ever read of the series, initially published as individual paperbacks.

        The series starts with Er Thom yos'Galen and Daav yos'Phelium, in _Local Custom_ and _Scout's Progress_. _Conflict_ takes up with Shan yos'Galen, Er Thom and Anne's son. _Agent_ takes up Val Con yos'Phelium, Daav and Aelliana's son. The rest of the books so far, including _I Dare_, continue to follow Shan and Val Con, and the various employees, friends and lifemates they drag into the ongoing story of Clan Korval. In _I Dare_ many of the separate threads from the previous volumes come together. We have the Juntavas, the interstellar Mob who actively appeared in _Agent_; we have the return of Daav; we have also Shan and Val Con's cousin Pat Rin as a major character. (That's Val Con and Pat Rin on the cover.) Surebleak, the planet Miri Robertson was born on, suddenly shows up again. Korval has already noticed that the Department of the Interior is trying to take over Liad and eliminate their family; in this book, Korval actively confronts the Department.

        A large chunk of the book is taken up with battles and battle strategy; however, this didn't turn me off, even though I'm not that gung-ho on war stories. And there's a larger element of fantasy in this book than in the previous ones, in that more and more people turn out to have psychic powers. I'm not that much of a fan of psychic powers, but I didn't mind them here- it's just one element that keeps the story moving right along. The plot is extremely brisk; don't skip a page!

        The end of the book does contain what seems to be a clear lead-in to a next book, since a new character shows up... I won't give away the details. One of the nice things about this book, and this whole series, is that there could be short stories written about it for years to come, because there are so many interesting characters. What exactly was Daav doing all those years at a Terran university? Whatever happened to Aelliana Caylon's younger sister? Can we find out more about Richard Davis, Anne's brother and Shan's uncle? Did Vin Sin chel'Mara ever reform after being exiled? More about Clonak ter'Muelen! Oh, and Nova yos'Galen - by the end of this book, all the current generation are lifemated save her; does she ever get true love? There are a few short stories that were only ever published in chapbooks; if Miller and Lee would write a couple more short stories, there'd be enough for an anthology, and I'd be sure to read it.

        It's difficult to convey how much I like this series, and I like this book the best so far. If you like humor, romance, and battle in your science fiction - if, say, you already like Miles VorKosigan (Lois Bujold) - then I'm sure you'll like the Liadens!

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2003-07-04

        Clan Korval shines and shows once again its ability to make the best out of every situation. Two more members of Korval meet their matches. The aliens are good. The Yxtrang are intriguing. The cat is scary. The villains are properly punished. I cannot wait for more.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent Science Fiction.......2003-06-24

        Do NOT start the Liaden Universe with this book! This is the culmination of several books and is really, really, excellent. I recommend instead that you start with the first book in the series "Conflict of Honors." Steve and Sharon blend traditional space opera with deep character development and throw in a dash of fantasy, meditation, and spirituality.

        These two are in the same league as Asimov, Heinlein, & Tolkein. Highest recommendation for their Liaden Universe books. I like them enough that I have signed hardcovers.

        Enjoy!

            As a Man Thinketh by James Allen

            This book (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much written upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that - "They themselves are makers of themselves" - by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage. That mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain, they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.

            How to Live on 24 Hours a Day by Arnold Bennett

            This amazing book talks about some of the most important aspects of a full existence: the awareness of the passing of time and methods of utilizing it to one's unique advantage. It lays out a structure to a possible way of filling one's time, and points to the obstacles and dangers lying in this execution.

              We possess within us a force of incalculable power,
              which, when we handle it unconsciously is often prejudicial
              to us. If on the contrary we direct it in a conscious and
              wise manner, it gives us the mastery of ourselves and
              allows us not only to escape and to aid others to escape,
              from physical and mental ills, but also to live in relative
              happiness, whatever the conditions in which we may find
              ourselves.


              Here are money-making secets that can change your life.

              1 out of 5 stars Incorrect Author Name.......2007-06-24

              Prior review discribes the narrator as being difficult to understand. As another sign of quality, Acres of Diamonds was written by Russell Conwell, the founder of Temple University, not Russell Cornwell. You would think any writer, proofreader, publisher, etc. would have picked this up before packaging and selling a $40 product.

              1 out of 5 stars Reader hard to understand.......2007-03-09

              The reader has a strong accent and is hard to understand. The quality of this product is very poor. Also, I understood I was ordering an audio CD, but received a CD with MP3s which I could only play on my computer since I don't have an mp3 player. I know these books are very good and have great information, but this version is not the way to hear these books.

              3 out of 5 stars Poor qualily.......2007-02-07

              I am not very impressed with the quality of the reviews and the quality of the CD is below average.

                  Book Description

                  Awakening is a living transmission of silence and freedom, writes Eli Jaxon-Bear, granting final liberation to everyone. A teacher in the self-realization movements of Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Poonjaji, and Gangaji, Jaxon-Bear presents a unique map of egoic identification as a vehicle for self-inquiry and a final realization of freedom. Sudden Awakening puts spiritual awakening in a larger context: that it is humankind's next evolutionary leap. Based on ancient Indian teachings and years of contemplation, this book offers the key to the possibility of ending world destruction. The book is written in clear, beautiful prose, and readers can peruse each chapter as a meditation, or as a gateway into awakening the highest self-attainable. It offers insight into the nature of the true spiritual quest and shows the traps as well as the signs of confirmation along the journey.

                  1 out of 5 stars QUITE PATHETIC.......2007-07-14

                  If you heard this author on NPR you know what pathetic psychobabble he espouses. I was embarrased for him. Another diarrhea of the mouth ala
                  Garrison Keillor. Total mindlessness! What are you going to do with your past SINS ???

                  1 out of 5 stars Reprocessed Pabulum for the Gullible Masses.......2007-06-13

                  This book contains the same recycled spiritual babble you can pick up from the self-help discard pile in any used bookstore. Eli "Jaxon Bear" (real name: Elliot Jay Zeldow) parrots the clichés that have plagued the "new age," "neo-advaita," and Western "Buddhism" movements since...well, since the '60s. Unfortunately for all of us, these trite concepts are now ubiquitous. Obviously, they've proven extremely lucrative for their purveyors, and extremely soothing to the millions of seekers whose spiritual "path" is now being trod by Paris Hilton. :-)

                  Worse, however, is the fact that Eli, who in the past has copped to a long history of marital infidelity, recently confessed to having betrayed his students, his co-workers, his community, and even his wife ("Gangaji") by engaging in a secret, psychologically damaging, long-term sexual relationship with a devotee/employee/teacher-in-training who is 30 years his junior. After his clandestine lover ended their relationship, Eli (with Gangaji's approval) encouraged the young woman to continue to keep the affair secret from their community-at-large.

                  The gory details are well-documented and all over the web, so they're easily retrievable via your favorite search engine. I recommend that you evaluate them carefully before devoting any attention to this (or any other) book by Eli Jaxon Bear or his wife Gangaji (The Diamond in Your Pocket).

                  I read this book a year ago (Feb 2006). Loved it. Feeling guilty for not writing a review on a book that had such a positive impression on me so here goes :)

                  It is a spiritual journey into Awakening to who we are. Not who our mind/ego thinks we are. We were taught those things by others and our own experiences. I wonder: "What if we didn't have those influences? Who would we think we are then?"

                  1 out of 5 stars The Dubious Benefits of Neo-Advaita.......2006-11-25

                  This book came across to me mostly as a barely disguised advertisement for Eli as a guru. No thanks. For one thing, contrary to Eli's and Gangaji's claim, Ramana Maharshi never designated any lineage. Also, Eli has recently admitted to abusing his role as guru/healer, via engaging in a secret 3-year love affair with one of his students. Therefore I do not recommend this book, nor do I recommend Eli as a spiritual teacher.

                  After reading Joko Beck's Everyday Zen, and being thoroughly disappointed, having been left standing on the platform as the train swished by, resigned to a life of "hard work and practice" - according to Beck - I picked up Sudden Awakening and found hope again; that one can actually *get on* the "Freedom Train", as he calls it, and realize "Cosmic Beingness." Sudden Awakening is a breath of fresh air. Is light, humerous, with simple stories and metahpors to help create the space of understanding. On a few occasions I found the languaging a bit confusing, and a few times I questioned the "awakeness" of the author himself as he seems to suggest on the one hand that it is our "Cosmic Beingness" that is "waking up" (as other authors have also suggested) and on the other says that "we" wake up - does he mean the "ego" wakes up? Others say this is not the case. Also one other glitch is he seems to suggest that "Conscious Silence" is a "power of mind" after having said that the mind is a trance, part of Maya. Conscious Silence is *beyond* mind, is Isness itself.

                  All in all it is a good read, although others, like Awakening to the Dream by Leo Hartong, are better.
