Psychology with a Scientific Starting Point

In our lifetime Sydney Banks became aware of the three natural laws from which all human experience is created and sustained. As a result of his discovery, psychology evolved and revealed it's simplistic - scientific nature. Banks will go down in history as the father of modern psychology. Get ahead of the curve and read anything you can get your hands on. His life was a mirror reflection of what he taught.

Give Yourself a Second Chance; I Did

As CEO Coach, Poet and author of a leadership book that helps leaders unleash their genis, the genius of teams and the genius of corporations, I have found the teachings of this book to be a foundation of my work. It uncovers the deepest understandings of life in a simple yet profound manner. Syd Banks is a master, read his books and listen to him speak.

Like listening to the stars crackle

No, this book is not a scientific treatise on how to channel positive thinking and better your chances of being happier. Its power lies in its simple message, conversational tone, and loving subconscious aftertaste. Don't try to analyse it - just enjoy the moment. If you are looking for a 10-Steps-To-Happiness book, buy this book, but don't read it. Instead, give it to someone who really needs it, and watch what happens. This will probably be one of the best "self-help" books you will actually finish from cover to cover.

A simple story with a beautiful message.

This novel is written simply, yet it's message is profound. A man who is suffering, both physically and spiritually, journeys to Maui, Hawaii, where he encounters two people whose wisdom changes his life. Reading this book is a journey in itself, gentle and powerful at the same time. It is an intimate visit to the timeless beauty of Maui, and an opportunity to experience deeper levels of one's own inner awareness. The sequel, IN QUEST OF THE PEARL, is equally intriguing and uplifting.
