Summary

This carefully crafted ebook: "LOST HORIZON - The Legend of Shangri-La" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents:
Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. Hilton describes Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise, and particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia – a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel, Hugh Conway, a veteran member of the British diplomatic service, finds inner peace, love, and a sense of purpose in Shangri-La, whose inhabitants enjoy unheard-of longevity. Among the book's themes is an allusion to the possibility of another cataclysmic world war brewing. It is said to have been inspired at least in part by accounts of travels in Tibetan borderlands, published in National Geographic by the explorer and botanist Joseph Rock. The remote communities he visited, such as Muli, show many similarities to the fictional Shangri-La.
Available since: 04/08/2016.

    Do you sometimes feel like your messages are received differently than intended? Do you keep falling into the same communication traps at work or in your personal life? Do conversations often not go the way you hope? Then it's time to approach communication strategically – and this guide will show you how it works!
The idea that "you cannot not communicate" is now common knowledge – which makes it all the more important to communicate well. Misunderstandings are probably the number one cause of frustration, stress, and disappointment in daily life. The concept of transactional analysis provides an easy solution by focusing on analyzing and reflecting on lived experiences – meeting all participants exactly where they are in the conversation. Like financial transactions, the sender and receiver roles are examined, and the relevant components are clearly broken down.
You'll start by understanding the psychological concept and familiarizing yourself with the underlying theory. Then, through a variety of practical examples and exercises, you'll learn how to apply this knowledge in everyday life.
Need psychology expertise? Not at all! The clear and systematic explanations combined with easy step-by-step exercises make this book ideal for beginners and will quickly turn you into a master of communication.

    Blank chart predictions is very interesting here we don’t consider any planets in houses or aspects or conjunctions. Here we just look at Ascendant and do predictions similarly every house according to ascendant will have energy of nakshatras and based on that we do predict the signification. With my many decades of experience and wisdom I am presenting this book which explores more of blank chart prediction. It is a unique concept many astrologers doesnot know. I hope readers will like this book and will benefit from this knowledge.
