Rated 5 starsThe Challenge
I bought this book about ten years ago and I only read about a chapter or two of it. The difficulty I had with this book was not that I didn't understand what he was talking about, it was that I couldn't follow the suggestions Goldsmith was making. Joel Goldsmith suggests that when you meditate, you do not ask God for anything...nothing! And that's a very hard thing for most of us to do. Even when we think we're not asking...

Rated 5 starsThe Art of Meditation

Rated 5 starsThe Art of Meditation

If you are looking for a way to connect with your inner self, and your religious background is Christian, look no further. I have read books on Buddism, Zen(what is it?)and other Eastern style "religions". Joel S.

Why retrain your brain...
