Three Magic Words: The Key to Power, Peace, and Plenty (An Eckhart Tolle Edition)
A reissue of a groundbreaking self-help classic, revised and updated for modern timesIn recent years, self-help concepts such as positive affirmation, creative visualization, and the Law of Attraction have become part of mainstream American culture, but these ideas are not new. In fact, they were beautifully articulated by U. S. Andersen in Three Magic Words back in 1954. This lost classic has inspired thousands of readers over the years, including bestselling author Eckhart Tolle, who believes that the time is right to reintroduce Three Magic Words to a new generation of readers.
Three Magic Words contains a simple but profound thesis: we can shape the outer world by shaping our inner thoughts. Instead of being controlled by circumstances, we can become architects of our reality by harnessing the power of consciousness itself. Throughout the book, Andersen helps readers reframe difficult situations and cultivate empowering thoughts. He also delves into related topics, including:
– Understanding the true relationship between mind and matter
– Freeing yourself from limiting beliefs
– Programming your thoughts for success
– Tapping the power of the subconscious mind
– Developing your innate intuitive abilitiesAbove all, Andersen leaves readers with a potentially life-changing insight: “There is only one mover in all creation and that mover is thought.”

A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment for Severe, Complex and Profound Learning Disabilities (Connecting Research with Practice in Special and Inclusive Education)
A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment links a theoretical pedagogical model with a sympathetic practical model of curriculum and assessment difference for those with PMLD, CLD and SLD.
Split into two parts, this accessible resource combines theoretical explanations with first-hand accounts of how this works in educational establishments, through the analysis of evidence-based practice carried out in a number of English special (specialist) schools. The expert authors challenge the notion that a national, or common core standards, curriculum, however expertly differentiated, is fit-for-purpose for the PMLD, CLD and SLD populations in any country. A Different View offers cogent and reasoned arguments for considering that irrespective of age, such learners learn differently to their neuro-typical, conventionally developing peers. If they learn differently, this book shows how we should be teaching them differently.
Reflecting the centrality of process over product, this book will clearly explain how each individual learner might be enabled and facilitated to become the best they can be and do the best they can do, in order to fully realise their potential as equal and independent citizens.
