  The media, celebrities, weight-loss gurus, and the Internet bombard society with recommendations about how to shed unwanted pounds: Count calories, cut carbs, exercise more, skip meals, drink more water, pop a pill. Yet as more people try diligently to follow this advice, waistlines continue to expand. 
   
   
   
  In Supersized Lies, Robert J. Davis, PhD, a.k.a. The Healthy Skeptic, shows you why this inability to lose weight isn't your fault as he reveals how hype, half-truths, and unproven solutions have steered you into fruitless quests that inflict emotional and physical harm. 
   
   
   
  The award-winning health journalist reveals: which weight-loss measures are most—and least—likely to be effective; how conventional wisdom about weight loss is often wrong; how to spot misleading weight-loss advice, and avoid being duped into wasting time, money, and effort; how, contrary to what we often hear, effective weight control doesn't require following complicated, restrictive rules; and the interesting history behind flawed weight-loss advice. In addition to uncovering how and why we're being led astray, Supersized Lies lays out weight-control strategies that research shows actually work, and it tells the inspiring stories of people who, after falling victim to the falsehoods of conventional guidance, have achieved success by forging their own paths.

  Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul is part classic guidebook, part provoking how-to, with a dash of stirring tarot philosophy. With a focus on inspiration and inclusivity for all tarot levels, it begins by establishing how we can view the cards as reflections of the psyche and walks readers through how to use the cards for inner work and shadow work.Though we turn to it for answers and solutions, the true power of the tarot is as a mirror. With the right approach, it reflects the tapestry of our psyches, illuminating both conscious will and unconscious longing. It teaches us to befriend our shadows, evoke our imaginations, and attune to the soul’s quiet directive: How am I meant to live?With a tone that is both scholarly and soulful, Mariana Louis guides tarotists—whether beginners or seasoned practitioners—through the archetypal approach. Alongside archetypal interpretations of the cards, she grounds readers in the foundations of depth psychology, inner work techniques, and methods of reading. The following topics are also covered:Psycho-spiritual meanings and approaches to the Major and Minor ArcanaA breakdown of how to apply all that the reader has learnedGuidance on how to prepare for readings and how the cards communicateMore than a manual for reading the cards, it is an initiation into their archetypal depth.

  The Spiritual Event of the...

  On the eve of the 33rd anniversary of its publication, The Spiritual Event of the Twentieth Century remains an exceptional work. On the one hand, the author offers a pioneering, first-hand testimony of Rudolf Steiner's prophetic statements regarding the 'new Christ Revelation'. On the other, he presents his own findings, based on Imaginative consciousness, of 'the Spiritual Event of the Twentieth Century'. Ben-Aharon gives a unique account of events that took place in the spiritual world during the fateful twelve-year period from 1933 to 1945 – encompassing the rise to power of National Socialism and culminating in the end of the Second World War.
  Through coming to a fully conscious understanding of this 'Spiritual Event', we can gain the courage needed to renew and enliven the spiritual science of anthroposophy as 'the universal human language of our age'. In addition to his description of the 'Century's Event', the author discusses 'The New Soul Faculties', 'The Relation Between Supersensible and Physical Events', 'The Rebirth of Anthroposophy since the End of the Twentieth Century' and 'Anthroposophy as the Living Language of the Present'. His words have a particular significance for the grouping of souls which the spiritual scientist Rudolf Steiner referred to as the 'Michael School'.
  This third edition features a thoroughly revised and extended Preface, Introduction and auxiliary chapters – updated out of the signs of the present time.
