A Mind For Numbers by Barbara Oakley, PhD Pdf

The companion book to COURSERA®'s wildly popular massive open online course "Learning How to Learn" Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a new skill set, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that intimidating material. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. She flunked her way through high school math and science courses, before enlisting in the army immediately after graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy severely limited her options—both to rise in the military and to explore other careers—she returned to school with a newfound determination to re-tool her brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much trouble throughout her entire life. In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to learning effectively—secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d known earlier. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. Most people think that there’s only one way to do a problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions—you just need the creativity to see them. For example, there are more than three hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. In short, studying a problem in a laser-focused way until you reach a solution is not an effective way to learn. Rather, it involves taking the time to step away from a problem and allow the more relaxed and creative part of the brain to take over. The learning strategies in this book apply not only to math and science, but to any subject in which we struggle. We all have what it takes to excel in areas that don't seem to come naturally to us at first, and learning them does not have to be as painful as we might think.

Thoughts Are Things by Bob Proctor,Greg S. Reid Pdf

Thoughts Are Things is a wonderful, motivational text from two acclaimed public speakers and accomplished authors—Bob Proctor and Greg S. Reid. What mind-set determines whether or not a person will be successful? Do successful people think differently from those who never reach their potential? How can we change our thoughts so that the result of every thought—the offspring of thought—sets us up to win rather than lose? Bob Proctor and Greg S. Reid, authorized by the Napoleon Hill Foundation, delve deeply into the science and psychology of thought, and how thinking is vitally important to a meaningful, successful life. In their interviews with neuroscientists, cardiologists, spiritual teachers, and business leaders, the authors show in Thoughts Are Things how we can think to live!

I did this in 6-9 months. You do it once and then maintain it. When you transform your thoughts then you throw away your thoughts such that all your thoughts, happy, sad and negative thoughts are thrown away. This way all your thinking goes away. Your mind does not go blank but you replace your mind with non-physical thoughts. Once you have accomplished this then you have new thinking without your baggage. You will forget your past. At this level, your karma will improve and go positive, and as this happens, your horrible night dreams will become positive. At time moves forward, your body pains will slowly go away. If you get hurt in sports then you will heal faster. This is a very powerful method. As time passes, you may be able to establish communication with divine/higher-power/God and you may begin to receive bells and whistles at some point. If this happens then you will be an extremely happy person.

Your Thoughts Are Killing You by Marybeth Wuenschel Pdf

YOUR MIND IS YOURS TO COMMAND Do your thoughts have control over you or do you have control over your thoughts? Your mind belongs to you, and you have authority over what you think and say and believe. Just because a thought comes into your head doesn't mean it's yours; it doesn't mean you have to think about it or entertain it. God apprehended me when I was 29 years old. I pray as you read this book you too will have a personal encounter with Almighty God. Mark 11:22-25 Jesus said to them in reply, "Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea, ' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours." What mountain is threatening you? It's time to talk to your mountains. We talk to ourselves and each other about our problems all day long when we should be talking to our problems. Jesus said, "Say to this mountain." He has given us authority and power over fear, worry and every negative stronghold oppressing us. God has already made the way for you and for me through Jesus Christ to confront every obstacle in the way of our peace and joy. We just have to realize that it is ours. Because Jesus is our rock, there is nothing we cannot overcome and conquer. Get ready to learn some eye-opening truths. Jesus died so we could live, not just survive, but live an abundant, fulfilling and productive life. It's time for us to take back what the enemy has stolen from us. The Bible says that we have been transferred out of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of his beloved Son and from this day forward let's plan to live like it.

This inevitably leads to positive changes in life. The brevity of this insightful and easy to read text assures its maximum impact. Years of research, study, experimentation, and testing of various conclusions have resulted with a condensed summary that is "Thinking 101."

Thinking 101 is a gift that will keep on giving for years after it has been read.

Learn Telepathy - increase your Mind Power by Raymond Hesting Pdf

The power of thought? How is it possible? Every thought contains within it the power of thought - your thoughts, too. You only need to know how to recognise, strengthen and apply the power of thought. The secret of telepathy. The laws of the transfer of thought. The 7 lessons. Imagine welcoming a visitor, who has arrived only because you have personally chosen and invited them to visit you by the sole power of your thoughts. Numerous opportunities with friends or strangers, anywhere you like, will confirm your "fantastic" ability. Through the experiments provided, you will experience the mysterious power of telepathy and the influence of thought. SAMPLE EXCERPT: AN EXPERIMENT ON THE STREET... Excerpt from the chapter "A simple experiment on the street" in the third instructional part (page 16): ... if you would like to test the power of your thoughts using the technique of building up thoughts - as explained clearly in the 2nd part - carry out the following experiment out on the street: Look calmly and fixedly at the back of the head of a person walking in front of you (at a distance of between 6 metres and 25 metres). Together with the thoughts that you have already built up inside yourself, visualise the person in front of you turning their head towards you. The more you have built up your thoughts, and the more vividly and strongly you imagine the person to be turning their head, the faster your success will be. Don't make any noise whatsoever. No coughing or clearing your throat, and don't make your footsteps become heavier. The connection may only take place through your thoughts and through your imagination ... Try it yourself and you'll be amazed as, with a sufficient build-up of thoughts, this and similar experiments have a high rate of success.

Mindfulness for Insomnia by Catherine Polan Orzech,William H. Moorcroft Pdf

Break the cycle of anxious thinking and rumination that keeps you up at night. With this much-needed guide, you’ll learn to quiet your mind, relax your body, feel less tense, and finally get the sleep you need. Sleep plays a crucial role in our waking lives. While we sleep, our bodies are recharging with energy, damaged tissue is repaired, and our memories are stored. When we don't get enough sleep, we are tired, less positive, less motivated, less focused, and more likely to feel depressed. We may even experience more intense cravings for high-fat, sugar-rich foods. And yet, despite the myriad advantages of getting a good night's sleep, countless people suffer from chronic insomnia. If you’re one of them, this book can help. In this guide, a trained mindfulness expert teams up with a behavioral sleep specialist to offer evidence-based meditations and an innovative four-week protocol to address the emotional stresses and anxieties that lie at the root of sleep issues. You’ll learn practices grounded in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindful self-compassion (MSC), and guided mindfulness and acceptance for insomnia (GMATI) to alleviate the mental, emotional, and physical suffering caused by insomnia. You’ll also learn to identify both internal and external factors that may be compromising your sleep, and develop a plan to address these issues. There is nothing we can do to “make” ourselves fall asleep. In many ways, this is why insomnia can be so maddening. But what we can do is help create the conditions necessary for healthy slumber. The mindfulness tools in this book will help you do exactly that.
