words-power.com is all about BOOKS, BOOK REVIEWS and WORDS. BOOKS/BOOK REVIEWS BOOKS are gems of KNOWLEDGE, IDEAS and SOLUTIONS to all the problems we face in one's existence, every day. Through BOOKS, we are made aware of the many phenomena that exist in this world. "ERRORS IN THINKING" is such a phenomenon that often lead to the wrong outcome that is not beneficial to us but at most times HARMFUL. For example, the saying" Live each day as if it were your last". Just imagine what would happen if you were to follow it to the letter? You don't brush your teeth, you don't clean your house, turn up for work, pay the bills....In no time you would be broke, sick and perhaps even end up behind bars. And yet its meaning is inherently noble. Enjoy each day to the fullest and don't worry about tomorrow is simply not a smart way to live. This and many such errors in thinking are detailed in Rolf Dobelli's "The Art Of Thinking Clearly". THE ART OF THINKING CLEARLY by Rolf Dobelli, will help you to change the way you think for the better at home, at work - every day. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! Money is very close to our hearts. Whether we like it or not, we have to use money in order to function properly in our daily lives. We need to understand how it works so that we know how to preserve its value. This is especially so when the Federal Reserve undertook the so-called Quantitative Easing (Money Printing) following the financial crisis in 2008. It is now six (6) years and the QE has yet to be dismantled. Understanding how the monetary system works is now a PRIORITY especially more so for the middle income whose savings are slowly but surely being eroded by the flood of easy money into the world's economy. More headwinds are blowing our way. As you probably know, just last week (Thursday, 17 Jan 2015) Switzerland's central bank stunned global markets by abandoning its cap on the swiss franc against the euro. It surged against the euro in one of the biggest currency moves since the United States went off the gold standard in 1971. Switzerland's decision also signalled that something is brewing in the euro zone with many tipping that the European Central Bank (ECB) will unleash a massive round of quantitative easing. We know all too well what happened when the US unleased its massive round of quantitative easing. Now the EU is tipped to do the same. So, understanding the background of the Federal Reserve System and its equivalent of central banking around the world, is crucial as to how this QE action will impact us. Edward G. Griffin explains it all in his book "The Creature From Jekyll Island - a second look at the Federal Reserve System". COMBAT ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION THROUGH READING Yes, that's right! Combat anxiety not through prescription drugs but through reading. Would you believe or expect a psychiatrist to prescribe reading as an alternative tool to combat generalised anxiety and depression? Well, one psychiatrist did that, way back in 1980, when he first published his revolutionary book "Feeling Good - the new mood therapy". His name is Dr David D. Burns. Everyone of us living in this fast-paced world, the internet, 24/7 style of response expected in our working and personal lives, naturally experience stresses of all kinds and which not checked, manifest into anxiety and depression. We need to deal with this and the earlier the better, And fortunately for us, for a few dollars, the answers are found in this book.
