Within You is the Power by Henry Thomas Hamblin

Within You is the Power shows us there is a power lying hidden in mankind, by the use of which any person can rise to higher and better things in life. The object of this book is to help people to bring their inward powers of mind and spirit into expression, wisely and in harmony with the laws of life and to build up character.

There is no way whereby the discipline of life can be avoided. There are no cunning means by which fate can be tricked or evaded. Each life must meet its own troubles and difficulties: each soul must pass through its deep waters, every heart must encounter sorrow and grief. But no one needs to be overwhelmed in the great conflicts of life, for one who has learned the this great secret, dwells in an impregnable city, built upon the Rock of Truth, against which the storms of life beat in vain.

While this book does not offer any vain promises of an easy life, it rather endeavours to show how to become so strong that life looks almost easy by comparison.

Time: Your Ally or Your Enemy? by Clive Boyett

Get Time on Your Side with Effective Time Management Techniques

‘Tempus Fugit’, or Time Flies as expressed in Latin, is a saying that is very relevant in our modern lives. We would often feel the urgency of life, the rapid changes of our environment, and the fast mobility of people and work.

Time should be kept not as an enemy, but as a companion towards your destined paths. There's a time for love, for jubilation, and for sorrow. There’s a time to relax, and a time to catch up with the running moments. But what is important is to be in control of time, no matter the amount of pressure.

You only have one life to live. Would you like to spend most of it just working and being inundated with too many responsibilities to handle? Would you like to have more than enough time in the world to do the things you love and to enjoy your life, amidst all your tasks?

This book will show you how to manage your time efficiently using powerful techniques in the art of prioritizing, delegation, goal-setting, planning, organizing, and conquering the ‘time robbers.’

Above Life's Turmoil by James Allen

In this practical and spiritual guide, James Allen illustrates how to shut out the noise from outside to place the spotlight on the enlightenment of the inner self.

Allen, one of the most popular writers on inspiration and the power of thought of the 20th century, is best known for his work As a Man Thinketh.

We cannot alter external things, nor shape other people to our liking, nor mold the world to our wishes but we can alter internal things,-our desires, passions, thoughts,-we can shape our liking to other people, and we can mold the inner world of our own mind in accordance with wisdom. The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of mind we can overcome.

The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. This book points the reader towards those heights of self-knowledge and self-conquest which, rising above the turbulence of the world, lift their peaks where the Heavenly Silence reigns.

The Science of Being Well by Wallace D. Wattles

Discover timeless wisdom and practical health information from a long forgotten classic book from 1910. "The Science of Being Well" is the second part in Wallace D. Wattles' series that started with "The Science of Getting Rich".

Wallace D. Wattles explains to us that many of the principles of good health are under our control. We have control over the food we eat, how we breathe and how well we sleep. Yet these seem to be skills that we have mainly forgotten, as demonstrated by the increasing number of illnesses and chronic diseases in our modern lifestyle.

This concise and to-the-point work teaches us to take control of our own health and how to use mind power to aid us in healing our bodies.

As a Man Thinketh by James Allen

"All that we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts."

A classic work in the truest sense, few books have been so widely read as "As a Man Thinketh", have stood the test of time so well, and have had such an immense impact on generations of readers. The reason for this is that it conveys such a simple, yet profound message: You are what you think.

The book covers topics such as thought and character, effect of thought on circumstances, effect of thought on health and the body, thought and purpose, the thought-factor in achievement, visions and ideals, and serenity.
