Freedom To Change : Greg Little, Kim and Stan Prachniak
Why You Are The Way You Are And What You Can Do About It
Freedom To Change presents profound truths about human nature and how we make choices.
We have three drives deeply embedded in us—the will to survive, to reproduce, and to make our lives easier and more pleasurable. These drives help form our beliefs, control our habits, and lead to our destiny as individuals.
We have a desire to organize things so that we can better control the chaotic world around us. Our beliefs are one way we organize and interpret the world.
Technology has seeped into every area of our lives making things easier and easier leaving us with more free time to ponder the meaning of our existence. What is life all about? Is there an underlying meaning and purpose to life? Here you will find practical answers to these important questions.
We make choices in every waking moment, but how free are we? Have our beliefs and feelings about ourselves and the world blinded us from the True Truth of existence? Research has shown that we tend to make decisions about 7 seconds before we know we have made them, leaving us with the illusion that we made a choice. How does that happen? We are genetically programmed to take the path of least resistance, leading us to think we are making conscious choices when the reality is that we often just take the easiest and most pleasurable path at any given moment. How do these powerful unconscious forces control our choices and behavior to such an extent that we are not aware of it?
These natural tendencies can be changed if you have the courage to examine how you lead your life. If you are seeking more from life or feel that something is missing, Freedom To Change offers a way to see reality more clearly. You have the freedom to change almost anything in your life if you understand and accept a few fundamental facts and truths.
You can change the world, one person at a time—starting with you. You can become your own Life Coach and your own mentor. In Freedom to Change, you will learn simple but profound secrets, you’ll discover how to find your true path in life and shape your own future.

From Savagery to Civilization: The Power of Greek Mythology : Vincent Hannity
Author Vincent Hannity asks why the stories of ancient Greek mythology have endured for 2500 years, and why those myths have maintained their relevance into modern times. He does so by exploring, through their mythology, the Greeks’ journey to the apex of civilization.
“Something special within the ancient Greeks drove them from Bronze Age savagery to become the ancient embodiment of high civilization and to create the world’s first democracy,” Hannity said. “I tried to understand through their myths what those drivers were. I tried to imagine how their cultural journey of thousands of years may have unfolded.”
Greek mythology is often treated as a helter-skelter amalgamation of wildly diverse myths, legends and fairy tales. And while there are hundreds, if not thousands, of such stories, the entire body of myth, taken as a whole, is even greater than the sum of its parts.
Indeed, according to Hannity, the aggregate of Greek myths and legends actually amounts to just one story — the tale of how the ancient Greeks, from primeval mists, inched in fits and starts over thousands of years to reach the zenith of civilized society. Their culture’s story continues to resonate 2500 years after the myths that underlie it were first written down.

Strangers in the Storm: Love and Survival on Mount Rainier : Jared Rund and Diane McKenney
When strangers Jared Rund and Diane McKenney met on Mount Rainier in Washington state, neither of them knew where the next few days on one of the most dangerous peaks in North America would lead them. On the expedition thrown together by mutual friends, Jared and Diane were along for the journey to the highest point in the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest. Both single and in their early twenties, Diane a graduate student studying Physical Therapy in Spokane, Washington and Jared a young Air Force officer assigned to his first post in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Through a series of unforeseen events, caught in a blizzard and detached from the rest of their party, the two become lost on their descent. As they attempt to escape the mountain’s fury, their heart-pounding, hair-raising struggle to survive and get back to base camp before darkness appears promising. As they navigate deadly crevasses, high winds, severe cold, fog, and sheer rock faces the dream of finding base camp doesn’t come true. Jared and Diane are forced to spend a bewildering and frightening night high on the 14,411-foot peak without proper equipment or communications and nothing to save them except their own determination and willpower.
As their rescue mission is put together, park rangers prepared the rest of the expedition party for the worst; they had seen Rainier climbers die in storms much less severe than the storm outside hammering their friends. Facing what appeared to be the end of their lives together as complete strangers, Jared and Diane create a bond unlike any other imaginable.
But sometimes it is the toughest of times that lead to the best. And for Jared and Diane, if a mountain blizzard couldn’t stop them then nothing would. Read this amazing story of survival against the odds, and of a love that couldn’t be overcome by a deadly storm or the thousand miles that would later separate them.

Lost: A Blood Inheritance Novel : M. Ainihi
In this sequel to Rise, Amanda searches for the link between herself and the visions that afflict her.
Unsure if the people she observes are the cause or the cure of all her troubles, she focuses on the two she feels the deepest connection with, the shy healer Emily and the brave Kiami, who can control humans with her song.
For years, Emily has endured her parents’ harsh treatment without her curse showing itself, but when her best friend has an accident, she cannot ignore the compulsion to save her. She’s afraid to return home, and the wisps, glowing beings of light, seem to be her only allies as trouble and magic follow her everywhere she goes.
Before Amanda knew about the seven realms, she longed to know her mother. Now her inherited gift is the very thing she fears most, and even as she fights to keep her shadow magic at bay, she can feel it growing inside her. Plagued by nightmares and haunted by a new vision of Emily, a cryptic accusation may just send her tumbling over the edge.
Kiami’s magical abilities have always been nurtured by her guardians, but when she suddenly finds herself abandoned, she becomes desperate to find anyone that’s immune to her song. So when Amanda and her jinn companion seek her out for help, she agrees.
As their paths intertwine, the world around them becomes increasingly dangerous. There is a dark power determined to prevent them from understanding the truth, and as the teens get closer to unraveling the mystery, it becomes clear that they will have to work together if they want to survive long enough to figure it out.
