Not all self help books are created equal. Some provide step-by-step instructions on how to improve a certain area of your life. Others provide moral support, motivation, and sprinkle a little inspiration over the words, putting the individual in a positive frame of mind that may be enough to help. It seems that since so many people face the challenge of depression, this is a genre of non-fiction self-help books that is widely read and outsells many other books in other categories. Okay, so let’s talk about this for a second, shall we?
As an author of online articles and e-books, many of which are in the self-help category, I’ve done some reading there myself and found that self-help books that are part of a system or program, those that are actionable can do the greatest good for the majority of people. In fact, there is a very good book that I would like to recommend to you in this regard. The name of the book is;
“From Here to Greater Happiness or How to Change Your Life, Forever”, by Joel Marie Teutsch and Champion K, Teutsch, PhD, Teutsh Publishing and KNI INC, Los Angeles CA, 1988, 162 pages, ISBN: 0-8431- 0398-1.
This book is written by the founders of the Teutsch Academy, which uses the IDEAL Method that is taught to its patrons. The book first gives the reader an understanding of their own consciousness and how their belief system affects their behavior and ultimately the result of their life experience and the human endeavors they are involved in in society. He explains why it’s important to be close to nature and to understand that much of the stress-related challenges of the human psyche can be addressed with a simple understanding of how it all works.
The book also explains group consciousness and how your family, work, community, school, and any sports team you might play on allow you the synergistic advantage. He also looks at universal consciousness and how everything affects everything else. The second part of the book is about how to change your life for the better in all places, allowing you to have better relationships and succeed in your job and career, also how to be a better parent or understand your parents better. It explains how to be patient and the reality of compromise.
Although I personally don’t like all this fussy, new age, quasi-religious quantum mind stuff, and even consider myself opposed to it on odd and even days of the week. It is a good book for those who are involved in this sort of thing, as well as others who wish to understand their friends who have been involved in this area of mental exploration. It was interesting, I’ll give you that, which is why I’ve taken pains to recommend it to you today. Please consider all this and think about it.
