COMING SOON: Transformational Weight Loss
by Charles Eisenstein
Release date: September 10, 2007
A personal revolution for food freedom. This is indeed a revolutionary book, offered to people who are ready for an alternative to the endless, futile struggle of dieting and workouts. This book is not yet another list of eat-this-don't-eat-that, it is a whole different way of eating, a different way of thinking, a different way of being. As the book says, when we try hard and fail, we think the problem is that we didn't try hard enough. Well, if trying hard didn't work, isn't trying harder doing more of what doesn't work? This book offers another way.

Arusha
by Courtni Hale
Release date: 2008
Website: www.worldwomb.com
In 2002 Courtni Hale started having vivid dreams in which her daughter, not yet born, communicated to her a vision of a world 30 years hence, a place she calls the womb world. These dreams accompanied a series of dramatic synchronicities that launched her on a series of encounters with some of the most dynamic spiritual teachers and researchers of our time: Miguel Ruiz, Fred Alan Wolfe, Mauru Emoto, Joseph Chilton Pearce, and many others. Her book interweaves the story of these encounters with
the unfolding of the womb world, in which a new kind of human society will gestate and be born.
Transformational Movement
by Edward Yu
Release date: 2008
Edward Yu is a Feldenkrais practitioner and martial artist who has developed a novel approach to teaching Taichi, Bagua, running, kickboxing, and other movement-based modalities, an approach based not on discipline but on self-acceptance and self-trust. This book liberates exercise from the limitations of the "workout", tapping into the body's natural desire to move, learn, and develop. An invaluable resource for teachers and practitioners alike, it shows how extraordinary results -- whether in athletics or in life -- come without struggle.
Radical Self-trust
by Charles Eisenstein
Release date: 2008
Expanding upon the groundbreaking book, The Yoga of Eating, Radical Self-trust is a manual for reconnecting with our authentic desires. While it might appear that desire is the enemy, this book shows that it is when the true object of our desire is hidden from us that we accept substitute desires: all the addictions and cravings of the modern age. Radical Self-trust describes how to follow the leadings of pleasure and desire to experience rapid personal transformation encompassing food, sexuality, money, relationships, career, and spirituality. No effort is required, only courage. And no dimension of life will be untouched.
The Deschooling Convivium: Leaders' Handbook
by Charles Eisenstein
Currently available as an early draft
The Deschooling Convivium is a project dedicated to undoing the habits of the classroom, habits like looking to authority for answers and instructions, following a program determined by someone else, needing to be right, addiction to meaningless praise, conditioning to dull, trivial work to obtain external rewards, and much else. These habits affect our adult lives and cripple our effectiveness and power. This handbook outlines concepts and techniques to reverse the conditioning of schooling.
