Download Description

"

A breakthrough practical spiritual guide to achieving all your goals

For the first time ever, one of the rarely discussed formulas for building wealth and achieving success in all areas is revealed in The Attractor Factor. Popular marketing and spirituality guru Joe Vitale argues that those who try hard and fail need to remake their inner beings in order to easily attract success, wealth, and happiness. Many people do the right things but get the wrong results; it's not so much what they do, as what they are inside. The problem for most people is self-sabotage. In five easy steps, Vitale shows anyone how to become happier and more successful by doing a few simple things differently every day. Part wealth-creation guide, part spiritual road map, part autobiography, The Attractor Factor offers inspiring, effective answers for anyone who wants to feel better, be happier, get wealthier, and get ahead in life.

Joe Vitale (Wimberley, TX) is President of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc., a marketing consulting firm. He has been called "the Buddha of the Internet" for his combination of spirituality and marketing acumen. His articles are widely read and his professional clients include The Red Cross, PBS, Hermann Children's Hospital, and many other small and large international businesses. His past books include There's a Customer Born Every Minute and The AMA Complete Guide to Small Business Advertising.

5 out of 5 stars Truly Excellent Source Book for Paralegals.......2007-05-30

I don't understand the negative reviews of this book. I think the reviewers confused it with another book. This is a big solid book full of information for paralegals and paralegal students. We used this book in three different classes at WOLI (Washington Online Learning Institute) where I attended paralegal school. We used it in the intro class, where we learned all about the paralegal profession, the legal research class, which we used in conjunction with learning how to do legal research via the computer on Westlaw, and also in the ethics course. I know WOLI uses this book also for some other courses that I did not take, but other students do. I think this book is very well written and is chock full of interesting and useful information. I recommend it highly. I really enjoyed studying from this book, and now as a working paralegal (litigation and trial prep work at a Manhattan law firm; I also worked in the corporate dept. for a few months) this book has a prominent place on my library shelf and I still pick it up and read it quite frequently. A very good book.

4 out of 5 stars A students perspective..........2007-02-11

The book is a wonderful source of information and is organized in such a way that it's easy to read right through and not feel lost by lack of verbal explanations. But, the font size is very small which makes it difficult to study or read for extended periods withough resting your eyes. It's also thick and very heavy. We use this book in our Paralegal class at George Mason University.

5 out of 5 stars Useful text and reference.......2006-08-17

I use this book as the textbook in an Intro to Law for Paralegals class that I teach. The books is incredibly well-organized and useful. There are very few typos, and additionally it contains great references at the end of each chapter. While I think the book is designed for the classroom setting, it can also be used for self-teaching as well. Even after the class is over students can use the book as a reference guide.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource Guide.......2000-01-17

This book is an excellent text for indivdiuals wishing to study the paralegal profession or the legal system in general. I would highly recommend it to any of my peers in the legal community.

Book Description

Deepak Chopra’s best-selling guide to creating abundance and prosperity is now on CD and read by the author. Based on seven natural laws that govern all creation, this book shatters the myth that success results only from hard work, exacting plans, and driving ambition. Deepak Chopra offers a life-altering perspective on attaining success: Once we understand our true nature and learn to live in harmony with these natural laws, well-being, good health, fulfilling relationships, energy and enthusiasm for life, and material abundance can be achieved. Simple yet profound, the book’s timeless wisdom and practical steps can be applied with surprisingly quick results. “A must-read for anyone who missed The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.” — The New York Times

2 out of 5 stars An Idea That Did Not Need to Happen.......2007-10-05

When I purchased this book, I thought it was simply a new edition of the original book of the same title. After all, why would it be necessary to "ABRIDGE" a 111-page book? Anyway, I ordered 12 copies of it as I was using it for a class. Only too late did I discover it was a shortened version of the original masterpiece (and Amazon would not exchange it for what I wanted). I suppose the book was reissued in this format as part of a new marketing effort associated with the DVD movie of the same name.
Whatever the reason, there is no need to buy this instead of the original title --which is a jewel for anyone's library!

3 out of 5 stars Original thoughts on "Science, Religion & Spirituality".......2007-10-02

Chopra is a master story teller and doctor by profession. He presents traditional eastern religious views in most of his writings. He hardly presents anything original. If you really like to seek the truth from religious and scientific point of view, I will recommend: "Science, Religion & Spirituality" which is now available on Amazon. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars 7 Spiritual Laws say it all!.......2007-09-29

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success is easy to understand, yet beautifully written. The 3rd Law, the Law of "Karma" or Cause and Effect, helped me change my perspective during a difficult time in my life from feelings of extreme guilt to a sense of empowerment.

Deepka wrote that under the seventh spiritual law of success, the Law of Dharma, that we have "taken manifestation in physical form to fulfill a purpose... You have a talent that is unique in its expression, so unique that there's no one else alive on this planet that has that talent, or that expression of that talent. This means that there's one thing you can do, and one way of doing it, that is better than anyone else...." I draw upon these words for strength when I doubt my ability to do the work I wish to put forth in this world.

This is one of those books that might make a terrific gift for someone who is curious about spiritual concepts, but feels intimidated about getting into the subject. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent !!!.......2007-09-26

I purchased this book in July of 2007. I finished it quickly but I still refer to it almost on a dailly basis. It is a wonderful book that should be in everyone's personal library.

    My partner and I are using this book (as well as advice from seasoned lawyers) to start our firm and find it to be exceedingly helpful. We both have our own copy. Worth its weight in...uh...legal briefs.

    5 out of 5 stars Best book I bought to start up a new practice........2007-05-29

    Hands down, this book should be THE ONE you buy if you are starting your own practice. Having worked for small and medium-sized firms for years, I thought I had a good handle on all I needed to know. But this book had the most useful, practical information to really prepare me for the intracacies of hanging out my shingle. Good luck to all you who find yourselves in this same position. How liberating it is finally to be in charge of our own destiny!

    4 out of 5 stars Useful book on basics for a law practice.......2007-01-18

    I found the information in the book to be helpful but a bit more general than I had hoped. Still, it is an excellent reference source and enjoyable to read. I would recommend this book to someone starting out in a law practice, particularly a less experienced attorney, along with other books on the subject that delve into more detail concerning the nuts and bolts of solo practice.

    5 out of 5 stars Law student, business exec likes the book.......2007-01-17

    I have read about 90% of this book and have found it very helpful. There are lots of helpful form letters throughout and it seems to cover the majority of issues a new attorney in solo practice would have to consider with some exceptions. Also, when I emailed Mr. Foonberg, he responded immediately, so 5 stars plus for being a dedicated author! If I were to give the book or author any criticism at all, it would be that Mr. Foonberg may not be the most technology-oriented lawyer out there and might benefit the book by adding more info regarding incorporating scanners, Blackberries, adobe, efax or myfax solutions, offsite backup of computer datea, etc into a law practice. In my humble opinion, nowadays, a lawyer who doesn't use at least some of these things in his/her practice looks "cheap," or worse, behind-the-times (not as efficient). Mr. Foonberg asserts that having a paperless office isn't practical or possible, but there are many successful and savvy attorneys out there that would disagree. At the very least, I agree with a majority of techno savvy attorneys out there (search Yahoo or Google for articles and blogs) that having instant access to all client files and documents from a computer anywhere in the world is a HUGE benefit that cannot be overrated.

    5 out of 5 stars An excellent primer.......2007-01-08

    I have read this book after having worked for 15 years for the government just to find out more about the challenges that private attorneys enconter when starting a law office. This book is a must read! Mr. Foonberg has covered every aspect of starting (and building) a law practice. Having read this book, every attorney will be well prepared to start his or her own law practice successfully.

    5 out of 5 stars Great title for photographers.......2007-03-09

    This title is a great addition to any photographer's library. If I ever need to find a contract or form to use, this book has it. If it doesn't have it, it does have something similar to what I need so I can adjust it to work for me.

    Speaking of working for me...the CD included with this title is a God send. It has all the forms from the book in RTF and Word form. This is nice because you can just go add names or make edits as you see fit without having to retype everything on a page.

    It also explains thing you need for each form if you want to create your own (such as basic guidelines for a consent form).

    I'd recommend this book to any photographer without an attorney or many years of business/legal experience.

    5 out of 5 stars How to Protect Yourself as a Professional Photographer.......2007-01-09

    This book contains forms covering every area of photography. A must-have for everyone who makes or wants to make a living as a photographer.

    5 out of 5 stars This author captures the essence of firefighting today........1999-07-08

    Alan Brunacini has put into words what the standard for any fire service organization should be. This book is entertaining, enlighting, and on the mark.

    I have been a firefighter for over twenty years and seen firefighters that are truly great, and firefighters that seem to get the job done but have no special spark. I have always tried to figure out "What is the difference between the two?" Chief Brunacini, details the difference. The really great firefighters obviously take that extra effort to do the job right. Alan Brunacini describes how it can be done and has been done. The only problem with the "WOW" service he is talking about is it will take a lot of understanding by management to get to this level. This new standard for the fire service is not for the future, it is NOW.

    This book describes a standard of service that every firefighter can understand, can attain, and feel great about. Bravo Bruno.

    5 out of 5 stars Inspirational. Fun to read........1999-06-07

    This book is entertaining and fun to read wih great stories and fun cartoons. The book provides a sound basis for implementing change at every level of the fire service. It helps departments put the "service" back in fire service. I especially enjoyed the way that the book relates to personnel on the street, those that have the customer contact. It shows how everone wins when we provide customer service: the department, the individual firefighters, and the citizens. While the focus is on the service provided by emergency crews, the message can be adapted for other individuals in the fire service, from fire inspectors to administration.This book should be required reading at the academy - maybe the first topic.

    5 out of 5 stars Very Helpful Book.......2007-01-16

    I purchased the book since my employer explained that I will become an independent contractor for 2007. The book explained everything about being a contractor and how to stay in line with paying the taxes, how to protect my self employed status, what deductions I can take, and what forms and agreements I should use. I found it very informative and would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the world of self employment.

    5 out of 5 stars All the legal tips, tricks and traps explained.......2006-04-20

    Plenty of books impart the basics of how to work independently - but too few include all the legal tips, tricks and traps involved. WORKING FOR YOURSELF: LAW & TAXES FOR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, FREELANCERS & CONSULTANTS covers everything from setting appropriate fees and understanding how and when taxes are paid to limiting liability and getting paid. Record-keeping processes are simplified with sample logs and entry advice, chapters on how the IRS defines an independent contractor versus a paid employee are essential keys to keeping independent status, and advice on pricing and insurance offer key strategy-oriented tips and approaches. A 'must' for any who would work independently.

    4 out of 5 stars Great straghtforward information and advice.......2005-09-17

    I recently a started an S corp for my software contracting. The book is helpful and worth the price. It won't answer EVERY question you will have, but you probably should talk to a CPA for those anyway.

    5 out of 5 stars Another Nolo Press Winner.......2005-07-28

    My husband is an independent photographer, so the Nolo Press books are great for him, geared as they are to all those wishing to handle all the paperwork for themselves, instead of the usual array of lawyers, accountants, etc. He keeps it as a reference book and can easily turn to whatever subject he needs more information on. Well-written and easy to understand, as are all Nolo books, these books are wonderful to review periodically.

    5 out of 5 stars Straighforward intro to the legal aspects of freelancing.......2004-05-04

    A potential employer asked that I incorporate my freelancing business before they start sending me jobs. I wanted to do some research on the pros/cons of incorporating, what kind of start-ups costs this would entail, and what kind of corporation I should be. At first, the whole process of incorporating sounded like a huge money burden on my part--with filing fees and taxes--but this book has helped me sort out the issues and provided detailed information about the different ways to incorporate--sole proprietorship, LLC, S-corps. Although I haven't yet decided which path I will take, this book has made the jump to freelancing, and self-incorporating, less scary.

    Not only do I understand my choices better, but I also now understand the different structures for businesses and their tax responsibilities. Great distillation of information! The copies of tax forms in the back are also a great reference. Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Read........2007-08-24

    Straight forward, honest, hard hitting style of writing for people who want more information and instructions on The Law of Attraction. This author obviously lives "The Secret" on a daily basis!!

    5 out of 5 stars Wealth beyond Reason.......2007-07-27

    Just the perfect follow up ( or precurser) to The Secret. Both books pretty much support the thinking of the other and in many instances they clarify some points in boh books. An excellent read for those interested in improving their personal growth and emotional wealth as well as tangible wealth.

    5 out of 5 stars Understanding That You Are Deserving!.......2007-04-11

    This is truly an amazing book. Bob brings about easy to understand strategies, principles, practices, advice, and so much more. Again, I say easy to understand, meaning not so deep it becomes meaningless to the general public. Bob is truly a mentor I intend to keep on my radar. I loved this book.

    5 out of 5 stars Very enlightening!!.......2007-03-30

    I have read many books on the Law of Attraction over the last six months and although I kept learning new techniques and the foundations about why this law is absolutely true, I must admit that Wealth Beyond Reason has had a huge impact. The book is straight to the point about what you need to do to purposely and intentionally activate the law and why it simply does not work for most people (and how to avoid those mistakes). I can go on and on about how great of a book this is and since reading it, I have started to have some great results in my life.

    In the past I might have seen these circumstances as "coincidence" but after reading the book I have learned how to leverage these experiences into acquiring more of what I want out of life. I highly recommend the book to anyone that is currently a student of Law of Attration.

    Book Description

    Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

    3 out of 5 stars Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

    Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

    5 out of 5 stars Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

    Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

    5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

    There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

    For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

    4 out of 5 stars History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

    Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

    I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

    Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

    Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
    Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

    I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

    This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.
