Being Happy
Summary
We expect that getting what we want, will finally make us happy, but what we find is that it mostly just leads to wanting more, or wanting something different. Our desires toss us to and fro until we tire of this, and begin to question the value of following our desires. Being Happy (Even When You Don't Get What You Want), will help you understand desire, and its purpose in your life. It will also help you discriminate between your heart's desires and the ego's, and to relate to the ego's desires in a way that reduces suffering, and increases joy. By pointing out the myths about desire that keep us tied to our ego's desires, and the suffering they cause, Being Happy (Even When You Don't Get What You Want), will help you be happy, regardless of your desires and whether you are attaining them. So it is also about spiritual freedom, or liberation, which comes from following the heart, our deepest desires, instead of the ego's desires. It is about becoming a lover of life, rather than a desirer. A review from Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God: "Conversations with God says that happiness is not getting what you want, it is wanting what you get. Others have made the same observation, and in fact, this thought seems to be as old as time. Still, it is good to hear it again, to visit it once more, to connect with the wisdom yet one more time. And few audiobooks do as good a job, as quickly, of reconnecting us with that wisdom, than this one by Gina Lake. This audiobook had a lasting impact on me. I highly recommend it... It offers a simple, accessible, articulate, and interesting take on the very human experience of desire, and gives us the tools to make clear choices about how we want to live our lives. An excellent listen." This audiobook was formerly titled, Anatomy of Desire.

Murder in Alphabet City
Summary
Newly promoted to detective first-grade with the NYPD, Jane Bauer, is back to work after a nearly fatal run-in with a killer. But while she’s happy to be back on the job, her new assignment - another cold case - seems to hold little promise of being solved. Eight years ago, Anderson Stratton, a schizophrenic, was found dead of starvation in his apartment. Nothing on the scene indicated foul play, and although he left no note, the death was ultimately ruled a suicide. Stratton’s well-connected sister, Flavia Constantine, never accepted that conclusion, and has insisted that the case be reopened. But in their investigation, Jane and her team stumble upon another grisly suicide - and realize that the two may very well be connected. As her inquiry intensifies, Jane is led to a shocking and horrible truth - and once again finds herself on the threshold of death.

This audiobook will help you do that. It will also help you reprogram your mind; clear negative thoughts and self-images; use meditation, prayer, forgiveness, and gratitude; work with spiritual forces to assist healing and clear negativity; and heal entrenched issues from the past. Exercises throughout provide an opportunity for practicing and integrating the information.
