What One Book Do You Recommend?

[amy31416]

I don't live in Hampden...I live on Greenmount in Waverly lol...but I do know some people from Hampden and it's a little different from the rest of Baltimore haha...it's like its own little segregated city inside of a city. I do love the 34th street lights though. Oh and yeah I've been in Atomic Books, but only once or twice. I need to go home so I can visit these places. Right now I'm in Western MD for school.

I know the area, I miss Baltimore a lot, despite all the issues there. I almost bought a place in Waverly as an investment-probably good now that I didn't.

Hampden is quite different from the rest of Baltimore, I lived there while I was going to grad school at JHU, it is quite unique.

Best to you with your education. Appreciate what you have, I really, really miss Baltimore. Pittsburgh just doesn't measure up. I think I need to go back.

I am also one of those people who recommend Atlas Shrugged. This book has helped me realize that socialism and communism both use the individual to achieve their goals as a means to an end and it is important to get this information from an author who has experienced the tyrannies of both. Newcomers would be upset reading any other libertarian book that tries to insult their beliefs and this is a famous piece of work so it attracts readers of all beliefs. I have also read Anthem and although it was short, I did not already not agree with it if you know what I mean. I haven't read The Fountainhead, but from what I've heard it seems to have a good man character, but falls flat in delivering it's message.

The True Believer by Eric Hofer

Philosopher longshoreman Eric Hofer had keen insight into behavior. The True Believer is about who supports mass movements. Hofer explains Obamamania much better than I could.

Good to be King: The Foundation of Our Constitutional Freedom by Michael Badnarik

Forward by Congressman Ron Paul, R-Texas:

"Michael Badnarik has created a constitutional primer that will edify and entertain schoolchildren and seasoned libertarians alike. Good to be King: The Foundation of Our Constitutional Freedom presents a thoroughly readable explanation of how our constitutional republic should work, and how the system became broken in the first place.

Mr. Badnarik starts with fundamentals, identifying the difference between rights and privileges. He discusses the critical and needed distinction between republican and democratic systems of government, arguing that freedom can survive in America only if we return to our republican roots. He also illustrates the forgotten tenets of federalism and states' rights, arguing that federal usurpation of state power has accelerated the loss of our freedoms.

The author then provides a detailed explication of the true meaning of major constitutional provisions and amendments. He does an excellent job of demystifying our founding document, demonstrating that ordinary Americans can and should understand the Constitution and how it applies to their lives.

Anyone who believes in limited government - that is to say anyone who believes in liberty - will benefit from reading this book. If we wish to remain free, we must constantly question and challenge conventional views about the proper role of government in our society. Good to Be King will serve as needed ammunition for libertarians and constitutionalists committed to resisting tyranny in America. I commend Michael Badnarik for authoring a compelling text on the foundations of liberty in America."

Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation by Andreas Moritz

These "Timeless Secrets" Free You From Medicine's Most Dangerous Myths. It's Time to Finally Reclaim the Youthfulness, Vitality and Abundant Health You Deserve

Flying in the face of mainstream medicine and society's many health myths - here is a book that finally proves that good health is by far the most valuable possession you can ever have. More than that: Radiant health is not only easily achievable - no matter where you are right now - it's your natural state.

Compiled over the course of 30 years in the health industry - and by working directly with thousands of people across the globe - Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation reveals everything you need to know in order to unleash the natural healing power that lies dormant within you.

You may wonder, "How could one book possibly do all this?" After all, many books make big health promises and then fail to deliver.

But the answer is simple: Timeless Secrets is different - and works - because (1) it gives you deeper insights and perspectives that literally put you back "into the driver's seat" of your body and mind ... and (2) it reveals literally hundreds and hundreds of controversial, yet highly practical secrets proven to trigger health, wellness and accelerated healing.


Cancer Is Not A Disease! It's A Survival Mechanism by Andreas Moritz

This latest book by Andreas Moritz may rock or even dismantle the very foundation of your beliefs about the body, health and healing. It offers the open-minded reader concerned about cancer a radically different understanding of what cancer really is. According to Andreas Moritz, cancer is a desperate and final attempt by the body to stay alive for as long as circumstances permit - circumstances that are, in fact, in your control.

Today's conventional approaches of killing, cutting or burning cancerous cells offer a mere 7% "success" rate for cancer remission, and the majority of the few survivors are "cured" for just a period of five years or less. In this book, you will discover what actually causes cancer and why it is so important to heal the whole person, not just the symptoms of cancer. You will also learn that cancer occurs only after all other defense mechanisms in the body have failed, for obvious reasons. A malignant tumor is not a vicious monster that is out to kill us in retaliation for our sins or abuse of our body. As you will find out, cancer does not attempt to kill the body; to the contrary, it tries to save it. However, unless we change our perception of what cancer really is, it will continue to threaten the life of one out of every two people. This book opens a door to those who wish to become whole again, in body, mind and spirit.

(my edit: They say 1 of every 2 Americans will develop cancer some time in their life. The best and easiest cure for cancer is preventing it in the first place. This book tells you how to prevent it, so I consider it a must-read for everybody, not just people with cancer.)

He describes in detail our relationship with the natural world and how we can harness its tremendous powers for our personal benefit, as well as that of humanity as a whole.

Lifting the Veil of Duality by Andreas Moritz

In Lifting the Veil of Duality, previously entitled Freedom from Judgment, best-selling author, Andreas Moritz, poignantly exposes the illusion of duality. He outlines a simple way to remove virtually every limitation that you have imposed upon yourself during the course of living duality. You will be invited to see yourself and the world through a new lens -- the lens of clarity, discernment and non-judgment. The author suggests that mistakes, accidents, coincidences, negativity, deception, injustice, wars, crime and terrorism all have a deeper purpose and meaning in the larger scheme of things. Although some of these ideas may conflict with the beliefs you currently hold, you are invited to read this book with an open mind, for an open mind is well poised to lift the veil of duality.
