Any suggestions?

thanks for the suggestions: will have a look into them.

here are some goodies, i found on itunes:

books & audiobooks:

1. Relax by Mike George, (really simple but crams alot of handy info into the one hour. covers relaxing and dealing with belief. very good advice given.)

2. Your Erroneous Zones - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer : One of the original inisghtful books that covers everything for improving your life.

3. Practicing the Power of the Now - Eckhart Tolle : Again a very interesting book and so true.

4. Organise Yourself - John Caunt - Is really detailed and gives you methods to be organised. If you think you need help in that area.

5. The Art of Conversation - Catherine Blyth - Entertaining and well researched info that can help.

6. Anthony Robbins - Awaken the Giant Within - Again a really helpful and insightful listen, read etc.

Remember that it's all useful advice that has to be practiced to see the benefits, at the same time remembering that spontaneity and just doing is also really important. Not using the information in only a robotic way but when the time requires it, i guess, if that makes sense. Using it in the flow of doing things.

In the book I mentioned above:

Nazi death camp survivor Viktor Frankl provided a good perspective on how choice is always available to us, even in the direst circumstances: "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread... They offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." With a wisdom that could not be tortured out of him, or maybe was forged in part by the horrors to which he was subjected, he observed, "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
