Rabbi Yitzi, The Rabbi of Sex

"God knows we've got to talk about this stuff!" says Rabbi Yitzak Miller, drawing from his extensive practice with women who are so relieved to have found someone they can trust to give them advice on their sexual questions. He teaches us to come out of shame and live in sexual integrity with our own beliefs. He addresses such questions as, Would you have premarital sex even if you think it’s wrong? Why do spouses cheat? Can women enjoy sex without being sluts? Can men enjoy sex without being predators?

Kevin Dutton, Split Second Persuasion: The Ancient Art and New Science of Changing Minds

Why do you crave a cheeseburger after seeing one on TV...even when you're full? How do the powers of human persuasion stack up against those of animals? Dr.Kevin Dutton describes the art of what he calls "split-second persuasion"; those moments when we make a decision almost without thinking either to have our way or to give someone theirs.

Dr. Dutton explains how to win that argument, close a deal, nail the job interview, get a first date, and even stick to that New Year's resolution. The success of television shows like Lie to Me and The Mentalist proves just how fascinated we are by the power of facial cues and body language to maintain rulership of our individual universes. And Dr. Dutton does so in such a charmingly nerdy, accessible way; not many people can effectively use phrases like "cognitive flatulence" and "prepackaged, freeze-dried reasoning."

Martin Prechtel, Stealing Benefacio's Roses, befriending mythology

Rooted in an ancient mythology passed ritually on to him by a magical generation of Tzutujil Maya now gone, Martin reminds us that these kinds of stories, if forgotten, will be lived out in our daily lives, but can help us live consciously when they are remembered. Spiritual, poetic, practical, inspirational! "Gaspar Culán the younger did not believe the Sun was a God neither was the Earth a sky for another world beneath, nor was it alive at all."

Thus begins the beautifully narrated, romantic epic of Martín Prechtel’s search for the "deer-like look in a woman’s eye," and his dramatic getaway with his family against impossible odds during his last years in war-torn Guatemala. Martín Prechtel is a leading thinker, writer and teacher whose work hopes to promote the subtlety, irony and pre-modern vitality hidden in any living language; this is a provocative conversation.

Mark Sundeen, The Man Who Quit Money

In their Power of We radio show, Maryanne Comaroto and David Raynal ask, "Is our belief in the present money system simply another religion?" Imagine a life without money, living off of what you can forage or catch for yourself to eat. “Freeganism” to the extreme--dumpster diving for grocery store castoffs, and receiving free supplies and support from friends and family. Giving freely with no expectation of return.

Daniel Suelo has been living that way for years, and author Mark Sundeen joins Maryanne and David to share some of the insights from this ordinary man who is living in the tradition of ancient monks. Suelo spends time with his friends and family, and is a respected member of his community. He chose to quit money after long consideration, and his deeply spiritual nature led him to study theology and reflect deeply over what it means to live a good and faithful life. Mark shares a combination of Daniel's practical tips and eye-opening ideas

Mario Beauregard, Brain Wars: The Scientific Battle Over the Existence of the Mind and the Proof that Will Change the Way We Live Our Lives

Can we change our brains to create either depression or pleasure? Dr. Mario Beauregard cites recent research on Parkinson's patients with 80% nerve impairment, who, when given a placebo, produced their own dopamine and their symptoms lessened. How can we produce our own dopamine? Find out here!

Dr. Mario gives us solid scientific grounding for influencing what is happening in our brains. You can overcome your own negative self-image, live a happier life, and much more.

“The current assumption that the brain makes consciousness, like the liver makes bile, and that human consciousness is confined to the brain and body, can only be called neuromythology. History will show that this belief was one of the great misguided concepts in human history, like the flat earth. This belief will not endure because it is unscientific, and cannot account for how consciousness manifests in the world. Dr. Mario shows why.“—Larry Dossey, M.D. Author of Reinventing Medicine and The Power of Premonitions.

Larry Dossey, The Power of Premonitions

Ever had premonitions ~ and had them come true? Distinguished physician Larry Dossey shares what happens when your consciousness operates outside the present moment and beyond the body. Decorated in Vietnam, then Chief of Staff at a large hospital, Dr. Dossey was unprepared for patients that had "miracle cures." Investigating them scientifically, he came to some startling conclusions.

In Recovering the Soul, he introduced the concept of "nonlocal mind"  mind unconfined to the brain and body, mind spread infinitely throughout space and time. Since then, "nonlocal mind" has been adopted by many leading scientists as an emerging image of consciousness. Dr. Dossey's ever-deepening explication of nonlocal mind provides a legitimate foundation for the merging of spirit and medicine. This conversation will amaze you.

Lierre Keith, The Vegetarian Myth

We’ve been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet...and these days it's really tasty, too! Lierre tells Maryanne that in service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoil--the basis of life itself. Keith argues that if we are to save this planet, our food must be an act of profound and abiding repair: it must come from inside living communities, not be imposed across them. Find out how you and the planet can stay healthy here!
