Book - Outliers

by Malcolm Gladwell


Now that he's gotten us talking about the viral life of ideas and the power of gut reactions, Malcolm Gladwell poses a more provocative question in Outliers: why do some people succeed, living remarkably productive and impactful lives, while so many more never reach their potential?

Art journals


Art journals are a form of daily devotion. They are experimental and a great place to explore new materials and techniques. They are an excellent way to record a full and immediate life.

As I become more present with everyday life as it occurs and not so invested in long range goals, everything feels meaningful. A scrap of junk mail, a fragment from a magazine, a word, old letters. Everything can be gathered with a new frame of reference and be seen with new eyes and fresh meaning.

Using Outlook for time management

My list of New Year’s resolutions is about as long as my cash register receipt from a major trip to the grocery store. At the top of that list is time management (I'm going to need some serious scheduling for all these resolutions!). If it’s on your list, too, you might want to think about using Outlook to help you reach your goals!

Can you have wealth AND harmony?

Are you frustrated because you still are not reaching your goals of wealth, freedom and joyous relationships...even though you've been meditating, visualizing and attracting? Do you secretly suspect there’s a conflict between creating wealth and serving the world as a spiritual being?

You are not alone. We start out with a dream of abundance. We're told to follow our bliss. We listen to the gurus. We want a reason to look forward to Monday morning, escape from tyranny of the alarm clock, and of course millions of dollars in our bank accounts.

Instead we are still earning below our potential, struggling with jobs that seem to go nowhere, torn apart by one crisis after another.

In fact, some of us are secretly starting to wonder, "Is there really a secret behind The Secret? Why does everything have to be so hard?"

What we're missing is a single key fact:

We've been chasing money, not attracting Harmonic Wealth.

That's right. We expect all our problems to be solved with money in the bank. So we work on just one element of our lives. We push. We struggle. We focus. We tell ourselves we're visualizing. But nothing happens. We know something BIG is missing...but what?

In his revolutionary new book, HARMONIC WEALTH, James Arthur Ray shares the secret behind The Secret: Truly wealthy individuals experience harmony that comes from integrating all parts of their lives.

John Assaraf, author of Having It All and founder of OneCoach, Inc., calls this book “a must-read for anyone who is ready to accept that a clear and unbending intention is necessary to success, HARMONIC WEALTH shows readers how to create outrageous results ... now!”
-
James Arthur Ray introduces a new definition of what's spiritual. You don't have to be Mother Teresa. In fact, it helps if you're as wealthy as Bill Gates or as athletic as LeBron Jones. You stop thinking of money as sinful (and learn a new way to interpret that saying about "getting a camel through the needle's eye"). The new reality (which may shock you): it's pretty darn hard to be spiritual without some money.

“This revolutionary book will change your life . . . if you let it!” says Hale Dwoskin, author of New York Times Best Seller The Sedona Method.

HARMONIC WEALTH demystifies the principles behind real wealth.

Everyone should be able to reach Harmonic Wealth. But without the right mentor, if you just apply the TV sound bite version of the Law of Attraction, you'll just become tired and maybe even less wealthy than when you started.

James Arthur Ray draws from his own experience. Less than 7 years ago, he lost all his money and his closest relationship all at once. He stopped enjoying the work that had brought him fame, prestige and success. To pay the bills, he had to sell off most of his possessions – including his dream house (with his beloved custom-built library). He nearly cried as he handed over the keys.

James went on a quest to answer the question, “What went wrong? What should I do now?” He studied with spiritual leaders (starting with a Peruvian shaman and a Hawaiian Kahuna). And he drew on his experience as a top sales rep for AT&T.

When you buy Harmonic Wealth, you get proven action steps that are practical and easy to implement - the same steps that catapulted James Arthur Ray from being broke, alone and miserable to a home in Hawaii, a skyrocketing business and gigs with Oprah and Larry King Live.

James’s message is so important that I wanted to share it with you right away. His book deserves an important place in your library of spiritual development.

James doesn’t promise a quick fix. But if you apply what he teaches here, your life will be completely transformed in the next 12 months.

The problem with The Secret

There's a problem with The Secret.

Maybe you've experienced it.

Now when I use the word "problem," I don't mean that it's a bad thing.

Not by a long shot...

The Secret did it's job. It raised the awareness of millions of people about the control they have over the wealth, abundance and success that flows into their lives.

And it's already transformed the lives of thousands of people across the world who have put the ideas into practice.

But there are millions more lives to be changed... and some of those lives want even more information about how to get started.

Of course, I'm happy for those who have already seen big success.
But I'm not talking about those people today.

My focus today is on you. Your Life. Your Success.

And if you've been using the principles from The Secret in your life, but have questions... or you're wondering why it hasn't worked for you yet, then today's message has the potential to transform YOUR life.

Some of the biggest questions I get about The Secret are things like:

"Now What?"

"...What do I DO NOW?"

"...I'm doing it. Why isn't it working?"

Today, I have an answer for all of those questions.

And you'll find all of the information at the page below...

Now is the time to take action:

Have a GREAT Day!
