The Inside Out Revolution

The understandings in this book can be life
transforming, changing lives of effort and stress, to
one of ease and joy. Many people say this book has
changed everything in their lives. They wish they
had known this sooner, and are grateful to be
understanding it now. Michael Neill is a genius
using analogies and stories for expressing
something that is relatively simple but can seem
complex. It takes several reads (or listening to the
audio version) for it to sink in.


Parenting From The Heart

Parenting from the Heart offers a new and refreshing approach to parenting. It’s easy-to-understand, down-to-earth and moves beyond parenting theories and techniques to get to the heart of parenting. As parents  look deeper within, they find the answers they need, and parenting techniques are not necessary. When parents have a loving connection with their children most of the time, discipline and consequences are rarely necessary. Parents realize they have an innate ability to bring out the best in their children. Many so-called experts say that raising kids is the toughest job any of us will ever do, but it does not have to be that way. It can be the most joyful thing any of us will ever  do. Parenting from the Heart is a great resource for anyone who cares about parenting and raising children.

Their ability to do their own thinking and to be in love with life long learning has given them the confidence to live in a world of shifting complexity and deep uncertainty.

The lessons and the stories provide insights and the creative inspiration that will fuel new ways of teaching and new ways of learning. This book is essential for parents and educators who are dedicated to shifting from the dominant failing industrial educational paradigm to a new paradigm that is based on love, trust and deep interconnection.


Magical Child

Magical Child, a classic work, Joseph Chilton Pearce profoundly questioned the current thinking on childbirth practices, parenting and educating our children. Ideas on how Western society is damaging our children, and how we can better nurture them and ourselves. Reminding us that at birth the human child has only one concern: to learn all that there is to learn about the world. If raised that way, the Magical child is a happy genius, capable of anything and equipped to fulfill his amazing potential. He traces the growth of the mid-brain from birth to adulthood and connects the alarming rise in autism, hyperkinetic behavior, childhood schizophrenia and adolescent suicide to the all too common errors we make in raising and educating our children. Then he shows how we can restore the astonishing wealth of creative intelligence that is the birthright of every human being. He challenges all of our notions about child rearing, and in the process challenges us to re-examine ourselves. Pearce’s message is simple: it is never too late to play, for we are all Magical Children.
