Beschreibung

As the most famous "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, escaped slave Harriet Tubman earned the nickname "Moses of her People" for leading scores of men, women, and children from bondage to freedom in the North. During the Civil War, she worked as a nurse for wounded soldiers, a caretaker of refugee slaves, and a spy and scout for Union forces. Late in life she was active in the fight for women's suffrage.Mythologized by many biographers and historians, Tubman was an ordinary but complex woman--tiny but strong, guided by her belief in God and religious visions, yet a tough, savvy leader who the radical abolitionist John Brown admired as "the General." In 2016, it was announced that Tubman would become the first woman to appear on US currency--the $20 bill--in over a century.Drawing on the latest historical research, Harriet Tubman For Beginners portrays a woman who resisted and transcended slavery and fought injustice her entire life. Beyond legend, she made her mark on history by defending core American principles--life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness--for others.

    Spirituality is brandished about today as an almost surrogate stance for God. For people that have a foot in both camps - just in case. When they don't want to commit to a religion it is fashionable to say "I'm Spiritual" or worse still "I believe in the Universe" whatever that means. But spirituality isn't what most people think it is and it is definitely nothing to do with "New Age" stuff in fact nothing is. New Age is for the lost and bewildered. This audio-book tells about Spirituality and what it means.

    NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and it encompasses the three most influential components involved in producing human experience: neurology, language and programming. Over the years NLP has been both misunderstood and misused especially in regards to the application of the various techniques that are associated with it. 
    In his booked entitled Banned NLP secrets author Daniel Smith reveals the simple truth about NLP that will have you stripping off the illusory layers and getting right down to the bones of advanced NLP mastery and then some. He will be exploring in detail the Grand-Master techniques of a tradition that has been lost to time, and you will be introduced to the grandfather of this fascinating modern discipline. 
    Please be warned, some of the techniques in this book are lethal, and as the author states ‘useful for splitting open your mind’ to attain to what he calls the Heart of Mastery. Only by traversing within to the deepest parts of your psyche will you be able to truly grasp the fundamental realization of NLP, something that apparently no-one alive has ever completely mastered. 
    The key concepts and exercises you will learn from this book will guide you in achieving self-mastery and provide you with the skills you need so you can apply these principles to every and all aspects of your life – from the choice of food you eat, the company you keep, to making important decisions in the critical stages of your life, like your career, marriage, children and many others.
