Positivity by Harry Edelson
How to Be Happier, Healthier, Smarter, And More Prosperous
Harry Edelson is the son of an illiterate Russian immigrant whose husband left the family when Harry was an infant. He begins his book this way: “I grew up in the poorest neighborhoodin Brooklyn, which was the poorest neighborhood in New York City, and I was the poorest of the poor.” But Mr. Edelson has no intention of wasting his life or our time by lamenting his childhood or anything else. He tells us, “I consider myself to be very lucky. I have been happy all my life even though I started out as poor as a child could be.”… If you want to be happy, it is all in your mind. So take control of your senses, determine to be happy, and develop a frame of mind that will make you and all those around you happy.” In Positivity: How to Be Happier, Healthier, Smarter, and More Prosperous Mr. Edelson reveals his secrets and tips for success from the vantage point of a person who has enjoyed having excellent health, a wide range of knowledge from a fine academic background enhanced by self-education, and fulfilling careers on Wall Street in technology, investment banking, and later as owner of a highly successful business in capital investments. Focusing on his strong belief in continuing education to increase skills that entertain us and help our careers, he extolls the benefits of being a speed-reader and increasing memory by learning the techniques of mnemonics, and he demonstrates interesting mathematical tricks that work for him. He also has plenty of good, practical financial advice for individuals of all means; and of course he is expansive on the value of positive attitudes. Mr. Edelson believes without a doubt that you can train your own mind for a lifetime of great happiness.

Be Positive by PJ Edmund Sr.
Keep a Word of Faith in Your Mouth
Faith then means we assume the confidence of things being real while knowing they are real based upon the confidence that we have in God and His ability to stand behind the evidence of that reality. PJ EDMUND, Sr. in his well received book, Be Positive Keep A Word of Faith in Your Mouth, he teaches faith is the principle and foundation for all success. It is central to the survival of all of us that believe. In many ways the places of worship that are filled to capacity every weekend deliver instruction in the understanding, the articulation and the application of faith. PJ Edmund, Sr., calls these gatherings universities of faith because they inspire learning about the central theme of our existence and relationship with God. This is where we learn the elements, the rudiments and the establishment of faith! Be Positive: Keep A Word of Faith in Your Mouth speaks to this concept of the university of faith. It describes the many empowering experiences that we must complete to continue to build faith. The path of faith is not always a linear one. It is the culmination of many journeys, eventualities and recommitments.

Positive Energy by Ping Leeka
Illuminate Unlimited Energy
Positive Energy: Illuminate Unlimited Energy will take you deep into the three important meanings in your whole life. The first is your BaZi DNA. BaZi means you will know what will happen in your life because it has already been chosen for you. All this is based from God; we can’t change it, neither will natural human influences. Reading and understanding the content contained in these pages will help you in balancing out your energies and the worlds energies around you. The second is about your luck, which is based on your Zodiac Fortune. This is basic from the month and year you were born. Asia has over 6,000 years of knowledge on this information already. The information is followed by the moon, stars, and the sun. We’ve used that information since 2006. This also means this does not only work on just Asian people, but also everyone else as well. This is about knowledge only and not based on religion. The third is Feng Shui. Feng Shui mostly has to do with the inside and outside energy of the house. You want to try to have positive energy in your house so you can have positive results. The book details with examples of house positions. When you have a positive house, your life situations change. Your money gets better, your relationship will grow, you’ll be feeling better at work, and the arguments will ease. These are the three steps you should follow to improve your life. Positive Energy: Illuminate Unlimited Energy will provide a step-by-step guide. If you succeed on the first and second steps, you will know who we are and how to help yourself and your loved ones. As humans, we are like a big tree; the first and second steps are like the trees roots. The third step is giving a vitamin to the tree. So if you want to live prosperously, we have to fix the roots first, not just fill ourselves with nutrients facing a variety of stress-based concerns.
