The Work is a process of enquiry - a series of questions that you ask yourself, that have been designed by the creator of 'The Work',  Byron Katie.  They help you to establish a clear idea on how your thinking is working for you and to examine who or what you are frustrated or angry or sad with in your life.  At first the questions may appear quite jarring and somewhat offensive because they ask you to think differently and drop your story.  The story is the repetitive thoughts behind your feelings towards yourself, a situation or another person.  It is this very thinking that the work aims to enquire about. The Work is aimed at addressing your problems with clarity.  Highly recommended trying out, and if you find yourself not 'getting it' in the first instance, be patient...it will happen and it will be worth it!  Visit THE WORK BY BYRON KATIE for more details and videos.

Eckart Tolle has a range of books focusing on how our thinking can create a negative or positive reality.  He focuses on encouraging us to remain in the present moment, detached from our ego and thoughts to ensure that our very essence can come forth.  In this edition, A New Earth explores our current state of mind, and how we can evolve and move to a more enlightened state of being by simply detaching ourselves from our egos.  Our current state of consciousness has been largely ego based, tending to our wants and needs in a materialistic way.  Our current economic climate has shifted that reality for us in a way, forcing us to 'wake up' and see what we've created.  When the material falls away what are we left with?  The return to consciousness and remembering who we truely are, our true spirit, is the reality we are slowly becoming more aware of.  An excellent read and extremely thought provoking with many moments of enlightenment at realising how often we act from a place of ego.  Worth getting.  Go visit GET ENLIGHTENED for more details on how to become AWAKE.

Sonia Choquette has been a favourite of mine for a number of years.  She is a spiritual teacher and intuitive and has a range of books to assist you with finding your intuition and trusting your vibes.  One of the best things about her books is the friendly and easy manner in which she writes.  A very down to earth approach to a subject that can often be misinterpreted as new age nonsense, but is slowly being recognised as a valid and important aspect of living.  In light of the interest in attracting what you want, Sonias books assist you with tuning in to your instinct so you are living your life from a place of awareness of what works and what doesn't work for you.  Her website is Sonias Site although I found it to be a little messy and not as clear as it used to be.

Hays House is generally a great site to find out more about what is happening during the year.  So far however, it seems that most of the time the UK get the big names, with some of them flying over here when they can.  This is still a great website to find out about what new books are coming out and who will be visiting this year.

For Irish events this is one of the most up to date websites for it...from a spiritual point of view.  Angel Shop - Dun Laoghaire

Rory O'Connor is a great coach and is one of the most inspirational creative heads around.  He has conducted a number of workshops for coaches, aimed at getting coaches to think creatively and think big.  On top of that he has now developed coaching aids such as the Inner Vision Deck, to assist with 'thinking outside the box'.  So far I've found these tools of great help for both myself and my clients.  I've included this link as he has an Events section, and if he happens to be coming to a place near you I recommend going to his workshop!  Rorys Creativity Hub

  

COACHING BOOKS

There are many great coaching and self help books on the market at present, and those listed previously are simply some of the ones that I have found helpful during my own coaching journey.  For you however it might be completely different, and so I've listed some other books that might inspire you and help you to create the life you want.

Many of these books come in an audio format, and sometimes that is more suitable when you are on the go or simply don't have the time, or patience to sit down and read.  Either way take a moment to see which ones resonate with you!
