Tired of thinking of the worst case scenario? Are you constantly beating yourself up inside? Do you have a voice in your head that won't shut up? That berates you? That tells you things that turn out not to be true? Has it occurred to you that thought is the source of all human misery including yours? Many feel that life is painful, but suffering is all of the thinking we do about the pain! You have probably felt there must be an answer but you haven't been able to find it in self-help, spiritual practice, or so called personal growth programs. "Life is perfect, unless you think about it," says Dr. Mark Waller in Mastering Thought (Before it masters You!). This book will set you free, plainly and simply. Learn the practice outlined in this book and you will go free of drama, and live a life without the mental struggle. Many teachers give you the view from the mountain top. In Mastering Thought, Dr. Waller shows you the path to climb. Mastering Thought gives you the secret to life without an internal commentator.

This book is aimed at the novice climber, the person who has rock climbed very little, or not at all.....and the climber who wants to climb better. It illustrates how to use your hands and feet to move up the cliff using various combinations of push, pull, momentum, and balance. Chapters concentrate on highsteps, side pulls, laybacks, stemming, barndooring, cracks, finding rests, swapping hands and feet, mantles, roofs, using momentum, and dihedrals. It also has two chapters on gripping the rock. The intent of this book is to explain how to actually climb, not how to use gear. The book uses stairs to explain certain moves allowing the reader to experience these moves at home. Other explanations are supported with diagrams. Key points are separated out for emphasis. Appendices describe the climbing process, a few thoughts for the new leader, analysis of climbing forces, and a glossary of terms.

When a disagreement with a supervisor and an error in judgment put Sarah Murdock's career as an FBI agent in jeopardy, she moves back to California and takes a position as deputy sheriff in the quiet community of Surprise Valley. However, when she is sent to recover a dead body, a knapsack full of Native American artifacts is strapped to the old man, and the recovery becomes a full-blown investigation. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Many obstacles get in her way including a nosy neighbor who practically insists on helping with the investigation, a surprise visit from her urbanite sister, a robbery involving the mayor's mother, and an undersheriff who is an FBI reject, resents women deputies, and refuses to make the necessary contacts with the Bureau. Finally, Sarah takes matters into her own hands, and Special Agent Michael Baxter from the Art Crime Team arrives on the scene, ready for action - almost. More of a scientist than a lawman, he has a strange physical feature and cannot stand the sight of blood, and there is a lot of it when two prime suspects are found murdered.

You Can Come Home Again: Musings and Amusings of a Philosopher-Clergyman combines both the offbeat and the classical, the idiosyncratic and the traditional, in its exploration of the spiritual concerns of people in our age. Written from a Jewish perspective by Davin Wolok, a clergyman and former college teacher of philosophy, the book brings together anecdote and argument, wit and wisdom (for which the author claims no credit), in its effort to awaken a sense of abiding meaning in our lives. Figures from Charles Darwin and Immanuel Kant to Hank Greenberg and Sherm Feller (late announcer for the Boston Red Sox) don its pages. The urgent quest of a struggling soul is the force from which the book has been born.

Nebelung combines the latest thinking in science, managerial psychology, and organizational development with ageless wisdom to issue a call to action for business leaders or anyone trying to find more meaning in his or her life and work.

Wayne Lobdell views himself as a very lucky guy. He was born in a basement apartment, grew up in the humble environment of a little farm and survived a move to the hood when his father became ill. The inspiring example of his father's hard work and meeting the special person in his life in junior high pointed him on a path to finding his way to a better life. Wayne's recollection of his childhood years on the farm with his brothers is intriguingly revealing of fifties life on a little farm; adventurous, amusing and sometimes sad. They were educated in a one room school of thirty students from K through eighth grade under the tutelage of a militant teacher who pegged them at the bottom of the country's social hierarchy. The brothers faced culture shock when circumstances forced them to move on to city life where caring but uneducated and naïve parents left the boys dangerously exposed to life's choices of good and evil. Two of the brothers chose a difficult path; a frequently dark path that led them each to a challenged life, disappointment and misfortune. Although Wayne experienced some temporary darkness as well, he found his way to the American dream; a wonderful family, success in business, contentment and the ability to give back to his community.
