| APO E GENE DIET : A Breakthrough in Changing Cholesterol, Weight, Heart & Alzheimer's Using the Body's Own Genes [Pamela McDonald, FA, WHCNP, PNP, FNP] Do you know your Apo E geneotype? Do you know why it's important? Researchers have discovered that the APO E gene regulates the way your body transports fats and cholesterol, affecting not just weight but also the heart and vascular system, and influencing our patterns of inflammation-one of the key factors in many serious diseases.This is not a traditional diet; instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, it supports each individual's unique genetic recipe with the correct matching nutrition. We now know that different genotypes need a different balance of carbohydrate, fat, and protein. This breakthrough book outlines the latest information so you can make appropriate nutritional decisions based on your specific Apo E genotype. In this way, you can take charge of your body's gene-supportive environment for optimum health. The Apo E Gene Diet can be for everyone, but it is specifically designed for a new generation of patients who want to live life to the fullest instead of waiting around for their biology to catch up with them. { 421pp, 155x230mm, November 2007; HB, £16.99, 1600700381:9781600700385 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| BITCH, CRONE, & HARLOT : Reclaiming the Magical Feminine in Midlife [Susan Schachterle] Many women assume that midlife marks the end of their most powerful period, when their sexual intensity, emotional vitality, and persuasiveness was at its peak. Not so, shows author Susan Schachterle in this warm, funny, and gorgeously written book. Using incidents from history, case histories from her counselling work, stories from her life, and examples from her corporate and non-profit consulting career, she shows that midlife in fact represents a time when women's sexuality, wisdom, and power can come into full bloom. Schachterle describes three archetypes that guide women's unfoldment after midlife. The Bitch is a woman who can make things happen. The Crone is the repository of hard-won wisdom and experience. And the Harlot gives herself time to absorb the beauty around her-as well as revelling in her deep store of sexual knowledge. For a generation of women who are healthier, wealthier, and more attuned to their spiritual fulfilment, this book engages the heart and the senses to offer a grand new image of the rich possibilities available to women at midlife. { 245pp, 155x230mm, February 2007; PB, £9.99, 1600700187:9781600700187 / HB, £15.50, 1600700284:9781600700286 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| BODY BRILLIANCE : Mastering Your Five Vital Intelligences [Alan Davidson] Body Brilliance is a compassionate and deeply personal guide to waking the spirit within the body. It seeks to engage what author Alan Davidson calls the 'five essential intelligences'-Physical, Mental, Emotional, Moral, and Spiritual. Body Brilliance tells the inspiring stories of people who have exemplified peak development in each of these essential areas: Olympians Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph for physical intelligence; Albert Einstein for mental intelligence; and Rumi and his teacher Shams for spiritual intelligence. It provides powerful yet simple ways to fully engage each level and pay attention to our bodies' unique patterns, achieving the benefits of expressing our full potential. Body Brilliance is full of practical exercises to awaken each level, and to encourage us to find our personal peak expression in that domain. Davidson demonstrates that when we wake up fully in our bodies and harmonise all five layers, we discover a result that is more than the sum of the parts: We fall deeply in love with being alive and fully present. { 284pp, 180x250mm, February 2007; PB, £10.99, 1600700268:9781600700262 / HB, £16.50, 160070025X:9781600700255 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| CREATING A HEALING SOCIETY : The Impact of Human Emotional Pain & Trauma on Society & the World [Susan Lawrence, MD] The "Creating a Healing Society" program pioneers the recognition of the devastating impact of human emotional pain and trauma as the root cause of societal and world problems. Without healthy support, traumatised people (unconsciously influenced by inner pain) engage in self-destructive or antisocial behaviours. We are accustomed to thinking about the impact of trauma on the individual, but rarely notice the dramatic effect that trauma has on our society. The cumulative result of these pain-driven behaviours can be seen in the epidemics of AIDS, Hepatitis C, drug addiction and alcoholism; in our violent and crime-ridden society; in unemployment, homelessness and poverty; in the ongoing cycle of child abuse and neglect; and, on an international level, in terrorism and war. In Creating a Healing Society, Dr Lawrence describes her work with alcoholics, AIDS patients, prisoners, and others dying of what one of her clients calls 'the delayed effects of child abuse.' Through concrete examples, she shows that people can turn their lives around, and by doing so, change the quality of our entire society. { 155pp, 155x230mm, December 2006; PB, £9.99, 1600700217:9781600700217 / HB, £15.50, 1600700276:9781600700279 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| DEATH ON THE LEARNING CURVE [Pierce Scranton, MD] A hospital operating room may not be as safe as you think it is. Hiding among the sterile scrubs and gleaming instruments of an operating room is a whole lot of high drama: split-second life-and-death decisions. deep questions of ethics. roaring personality conflicts. the glory of saving a life-and the horror when a simple procedure goes terribly wrong. Renowned surgeon Pierce Scranton, Jr. , kept a detailed diary of his internship year at a busy California teaching hospital. This book is a vivid, fictionalised memoir of that year in the trenches. Through the intertwined stories of teachers, students and patients, it explores issues like: What happens when teaching and healing come into conflict? When is a new treatment to prolong life a good idea, and when is it a disaster? How did lawyers and bean-counters get so much power? And when do relationships between doctors and other staff 'go too far?' This honest account is startling and sometimes shocking-but always gripping. { 329pp, 155x230mm, January 2006; HB, £15.50, 1600700144:9781600700149 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| DISMANTLING DISCONTENT : Buddha's Way Through Darwin's World [Dr Charles Fisher, Ph.D.] Early hominids lived in an animal harmony with nature, free of the existential suffering we Homo sapiens experience. Evolutionary changes to our ancestors' bodies and brains endowed us with an increased capacity for creative productivity and the discontent that comes with disconnection from our environment. This duality of our evolution sets us apart from other species and inspires our most profound intellectual and spiritual yearning. Science and spiritual practice have long been considered mutually exclusive, and yet they are both methods of investigating the universe in which we live. This book offers a provocative perspective on our existential suffering from the metaphorical viewpoints of Darwin and Buddha, synthesising their two approaches-science and meditation-into a powerful union and shattering previous assumptions about the incompatibility of these two very different ways of knowing. His daring, grounded in years of solid research and sincere practice, has cleared the path to an inspired new 'middle way' for us humans to be at greater peace with our selves, each other, and the world in which we live. { 442pp, 155x230mm, August 2007; HB, £16.50, 1600700314:9781600700316 / PB, £10.50, 1600700322:9781600700323 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| EINSTEIN'S BUSINESS : Engaging Soul, Excellence, & Intelligence in the Workplace Community [Dawson Church, PhD, Ed] At this threshold of our species' evolution there is an increasing recognition that new approaches are needed to create the radical changes necessary for humanity to survive on this planet. Business is not exempt-it's at the centre of this radical change. Business can even be the lynchpin around which the rest of social transformation takes place, and can lead the way as we relinquish our addiction to control and to the extreme competitiveness that has paralysed us and prevented us from uniting to address the urgency of the crisis at hand. In this anthology, some of the best-selling business authors of today infuse their visions, experiences, and insights into the ongoing conversation about how to find solutions to seemingly impossible challenges. The guiding principles for the book are derived from the inspiring, timeless wisdom of Albert Einstein, a man who modelled the ability to be a channel for intuitive, imaginative, and collective intelligence. From that realm we can draw on collective intelligence to re-invent ourselves and transform business. { 482pp, 155x230mm, January 2007; HB, £16.50, 1600700152:9781600700156 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| ENDING THE TOBACCO HOLOCAUST : How the Tobacco Industry Affects Your Health, Pocketbook & Political Freedom-and What You Can Do [Michael Rabinoff, PhD] Every day, at least 1,191 Americans die before their time. They die painful, lingering deaths that could have been prevented. Every three days, as many citizens die from their own smoking habit, or from exposure to second-hand smoke, as died in the September 11 tragedy. Each and every pack of cigarettes costs American taxpayers $40 in higher medical premiums, unavailability of health services, and other hidden financial drains. And every year, 925 out of every 1,000 smokers who try to quit on their own fail to stay smoke-free for a year -- while hundreds of thousands of children become addicted to nicotine. Dr Michael Rabinoff, a respected psychiatrist who holds two patents and has published repeatedly in the New England Journal of Medicine and other top-flight journals, shows the health and financial suicide we commit by allowing tobacco companies to continue doing business as usual-and, like any good doctor, provides a detailed prescription for what to do about it: simple actions you can take to save the lives of millions around the world. { 452pp, 155x230mm, February 2007; HB, £15.50, 1600700128:9781600700125 / PB, £9.99, 1600700195:9781600700194 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| ENERGY OF BELIEF : Psychology's Power Tools to Focus Intention & Release Blocking Beliefs [Mary Sise, LCSW & Sheila Sidney Bender. Ph.D.] Sise and Bender lay out a series of simple exercises that allow people in distress to quickly feel major physical and psychological shifts by holding their bodies in certain ways while taking deep breaths. Their book is packed with real-life case histories of clients who were not helped by the forms of therapy, but for whom the authors' technique, energy-TAB, produced miraculous results. { 235pp, 155x230mm, November 2007; PB, £10.99, 160415019X:9781604150193 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
| GENIE IN YOUR GENES : Epigenetic Medicine & the New Biology of Intention [Dawson Church, Ph.D.] Dawson Church applies the insights of the new field of Epigenetics (epi=above, i.e. control above the level of the gene) to healing. Citing hundreds of scientific studies, he shows how beliefs and emotions can trigger the expression of DNA strands. He focuses on a class of genes called Immediate Early Genes or IEGs. These genes turn on within a few seconds of a stimulus. They can be triggered by thoughts or emotions. Many IEGs are regulatory genes turn on other genes that affect specific aspects of our immune system, such as the production of white blood cells that destroy attacking bacteria and viruses. Epigenetics thus influences our health every day. He coins the new term "Epigenetic Medicine" to describe healing techniques with epigenetic effects. He also summarises the science behind the infant fields of Energy Psychology and Energy Medicine, both of which offer promising epigenetic medical therapies, and describes a few of the thousands of powerful personal breakthroughs that are being achieved by therapists, doctors and lay people practising these techniques. "The Genie in Your Genes" shows that there is a sound theoretical framework, based on credible experiments, for understanding these astonishing results, and predicts that the insights of Epigenetic Medicine will dramatically advance the fields of both medicine and psychology in the coming decade. Best of all, the book demonstrates that, by taking control of our consciousness and using it to influence our genetic expression, we can sometimes bypass years of therapy, as well as harmful drugs and invasive surgeries, to, in effect, do continuous genetic engineering on our own bodies. This can produce both immediate relief from long-standing anxieties and neuroses, as well as "miraculous" healing of persistent physical conditions, especially autoimmune diseases. Among a new crop of books that chart the way to a positive health future, The Genie in Your Genes stands out as a solidly grounded and exciting pointer to the future possibilities of a medicine that links soul to body and mind. { 363pp, 155x230mm, May 2007; HB, £16.50, 1600700225:9781600700224 , Midpoint Trade Books (Energy Psychology Press) } |
| GOOD TIMING GUIDE 2007 : An Astrological Business Planner [Madeline C Gerwick] According to Madeline Gerwick-Brodeur, timing is everything! This book helps us all to achieve better business results by being in the harmony with the natural cycles. Many prominent figures including Walt Disney and J. P. Morgan, timed their decisions by an astrological calendar. Gerwick-Brodeur says, ' We create (and mis-create) everything that's happening in our business via our own energy, environment -- and timing.' Here is a quote from one of our wholesalers: This is one of the best astrological guides that we have seen. It is extremely informative and very easy to use. We expect it to become a best-seller.' It is literally a visual 12-month astrological calendar that represents the cycles and phases that relate to various elements of business that effect our day-to-day decisions such as: signing contracts, product introductions, hiring new people, web site launches, and many more important business activities. { 104pp, 155x230mm, September 2006; SB, £14.99, 160070011X:9781600700118 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |

| LIFE ON PURPOSE : Six Passages to an Inspired Life [Dr Brad Swift] Does the road to self-discovery really have to be so long and torturous? Not at all! Cut decades off the process and take a major shortcut on the road to clarifying your true purpose, says Dr Brad Swift: Just follow the six steps, or 'passages' that he outlines -- and infuse purpose into every aspect of your life. Twenty years ago, Dr Brad Swift appeared successful from the outside, but inside, he was burned out, wracked with emotional pain, and ready to end it all-because he was living at odds with his true purpose. But then he turned his life around to follow his true life calling-and in the process, invented this six-step method to determining one's life purpose. He has since made a difference in the lives of hundreds of clients who've gone on to clarify their own purpose, and in many cases, teach this life-changing work. Have you clarified your life's purpose? Don't wait until your whole life has slipped by!

| MYTHIC PATH : Discovering the Guiding Stories of Your Past -- Creating a Vision for Your Future: 3rd Edition [David Feinstein, PhD & Stanley Krippner, PhD] Each and every one of us grapples with our own highly personal mythology-the psychic force that allows us to weave the fragments of our experience into coherent story. These mythologies shape our every thought, perception, and action, helping us to feel safe and secure in our identities. But when our personal mythologies do not grow and change along with us, we find ourselves stuck in self-defeating life patterns. In "The Mythic Path" David Feinstein, Ph.D., and Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., hailed by Jean Houston as 'masters of the geography of the inscapes', provide a series of detailed exercises developed over a combined 80 years of clinical practice, personal development workshops, and teaching on psychological topics. Using ritual, dreams, and imagination to liberate you from the mythologies of your childhood and culture, the 12-week course will ignite the mystery of a transformed inner life into authentic outer expression. This third edition of a life-changing classic has been revised to include a new Support Guide combining their ground-breaking model for incorporating Energy Psychology into the process of personal transformation. { 326pp, 180x230mm, January 2007; PB, £10.99, 1600700160:9781600700163 , Midpoint Trade Books (Energy Psychology Press) } |
| NEW IQ : How Integrity Intelligence Serves You, Your Relationships & Our World [David Gruder, Ph.D.] At the beginning of the 21st Century we find ourselves dizzy with resources for conscious evolution. But how do we make sense of all the techniques and traditions? Where do we begin, and what takes top priority? In 3D Living, David Gruder provides a practical roadmap for personal growth that allows readers to move forward with informed integrity. By reviewing the wealth of psychological and spiritual wisdom from across history and culture, secular and sacred aspects of human experience, Gruder identifies the three core human drives: for authentic self-expression, connection with others, and to make a positive difference in the world. Providing more than just a compendious survey, he also streamlines this breadth of information in to a user-friendly version of the personal development process, helping readers to identify which methods are best for them at each stage of their own work. { 308pp, 155x230mm, February 2008; HB, £10.99, 1604150130:9781604150131 , Midpoint Trade Books (Energy Psychology Press) } |
| PEAK VITALITY : Raising the Threshold of Abundance in Our Material, Spiritual & Emotional Lives [Jeanne M House, MA (ed)] We often strive for our peak of accomplishment: peak health, peak wealth, peak performance. The idea for this anthology came from a further question that is both simple but provocative: What if we could exceed the upper limits of our performance? What would happen if, rather than focusing on being physically well, we imagined ourselves physically vibrant? What would happen if rather than seeking 100% of the good that might come to us, we pushed past our boundaries, and pictured what 112% might look like? What would happen if we took our upper limits of vision as a baseline, rather than a ceiling? Could we be happier, more abundant, and healthier than our wildest dreams? That's what "Peak Vitality" is all about. It calls us to examine the thresholds of our thinking, feeling and experiencing-then go beyond what we believe we're capable of. { 155x230mm, March 2008; HB, £18.50, 1600700136:9781600700132 , Midpoint Trade Books (Elite Books) } |
