How much can changing what you think and believe change your life? Quite possibly more than anything else you will ever do. In his early thirties Peter Russell began a journey within himself and discovered a whole new world of possibilities. Through challenging old beliefs and discovering new ways of seeing the world, Peter transformed his life, finding greater success and happiness than ever before. Peter's journey took him from chronic depression to abundant joy and a level of success previously unimaginable. This book offers the insights accumulated during an eight-year journey, which began with a message shared on New Year's Eve more than a decade ago. This is less an instructional manual and more a guide to help you through your own limiting beliefs. It shines a light on ways of thinking that keep many people feeling frustrated, unmotivated, and unhappy. From personal relationships to more satisfying life choices, this book will inspire and empower you to make the changes in your life that you either didn't think were possible, or didn't realize could make such a big difference. You too can create a new personal philosophy that will unlock your true potential for happiness, and this book can be your guide along the way.

The power and versatility of the human brain far surpasses that of any computer, indeed, it is the most complex and involved system on this planet. Yet no human being has ever come close to using its full potential. In Part One of this handbook for brain users, Peter Russell sets out the brain's development and structure; in Part Two he examines its function and potential, discussing memory, imagery, mnemonics, the holographic theory of mind, reading and note-taking. He also introduces readers to mind maps using color, key words and organic structure. Among the many intriguing features of the book is the rejection of the notion that our brain deteriorates after middle age.

Peter Russel's book has become the key work to a completeunderstanding of TM. The first part deals with the technique itself: itsorigins and how it works.

In the second part of the book, Peter Russell looks closely at how higher states of consciousnessdevelop and how our perception and relationship with the rest of theworld change as a result

A practical and empowering approach to the age-old quest to let go of the thoughts and feelings that block happiness, impede change, and hinder self-acceptance Anyone who has dipped a toe into any of the world's spiritual traditions knows that letting go and letting be are key. But how? In this fresh, frank, and powerful guide, Peter Russell allows readers to see that the things we get hung up on are generally not tangible problems in the present, but are instead thoughts, feelings, interpretations, beliefs, or expectations we have about them. These are not actual things; they exist only in our minds. And we can strip these ';no-things' of their power and let them go by making a simple change of mind. Russell boils this letting go down to remarkably easy methods of accepting, acknowledging, recognizing, and even befriending what we tend to run from. This paradoxical practice generates peace of mind, fresh perspectives, and wisdom in action. In turbulent times like ours, this is a true power, one available to us all.

To be effective, sovereignty must be secured through force or consent by those living in a territory, and accepted externally by other sovereign states. To be legitimate, the sovereignty claim must have the consent of its people and accord with international human rights.In Sovereignty: The Biography of a Claim, Peter H. Russell traces the origins of the sovereignty claim to Christian Europe and the attribution of sovereignty to God in the early Middle Ages. Transcending a narrow legal framework, he discusses sovereignty as a political activity including efforts to enshrine sovereignty within international law. Russell does not call for the end of sovereignty but makes readers aware of its limitations. While sovereignty can do good work for small and vulnerable peoples, it cannot be the basis of a global order capable of responding to the major existential threats that threaten our species and our planet.A brisk, often humorous, and personal exploration, Sovereignty: The Biography of a Claim will interest specialists and general readers alike, offering fresh insights on the limitations of sovereignty and the potential of federalism to alleviate these limitations now and in the future.

From Science to God offers a crash course in the nature of reality. It is the story of Peter Russell's lifelong exploration into the nature of consciousness - how he went from being a strict atheist, studying mathematics and physics at Cambridge University, to realizing a profound personal synthesis of the mystical and scientific. Using his own tale of curiosity and exploration as the book's backbone, Russell blends physics, psychology, and philosophy to reach a new worldview in which consciousness is a fundamental quality of creation. He shows how all the ingredients for this worldview are in place; nothing new needs to be discovered. We have only to put the pieces together and explore the new picture of reality that emerges. From Science to God is as much a personal story of an open-minded skeptic as it is a tour de force of scientific and religious paradigm shifts. Russell takes us from Galileo's den to the lecture halls of Cambridge where he studied with Stephen Hawking. "e;If you had asked me then if there was a God,"e; says the best-selling author of his scientific beginnings, "e;I would have pointed to mathematics."e; But no matter what empirical truths science offered Russell, one thorny question remained: How can something as immaterial as consciousness, ever arise from something as unconscious as matter?
