I just read theoretical physicist Michio Kaku‘s latest book, Physics of the Impossible, and was riveted.

This brilliantly written book takes a level-headed, scientific look at the possibility of such sci-fi ideas as time-travel, phasers, force fields, invisibility, precognition, telepathy and much more.

He looks at each of the woo-woo-ish or Star Trek-ish concept in light of our current understanding of physics. He’s open minded enough to know science can change its stance as new discoveries are made (which means current physics might become a joke one day) but he uses our present understanding to see if there’s a possibility for the impossible.

The chapter I found the most interesting was the one on precognition, or the ability to see the future.

He basically says with our current understanding of what’s possible, precognition is basically impossible.

There’s no way to predict the future.

I was a little sad to hear that, as I want to believe in precognition, but the good news is this means we have free will.

The reason we can’t predict the future is because what you do next will alter it.

So, what are you going to do next?

PS — Kaku admits that precognition could happen one day, but that if it did, it would shake the world of science to its core. For now, I say make wise decisions in each moment and enjoy the journey. You don’t really want to know how it all works out, do you, and spoil all the fun and all the surprises?

PPS – For the record, almost everything else Kaku looks at in the book, including time travel, is possible. Of course, he’s predicting the future when he says time travel is possible, which he says is impossible to do, but that’s another story for another day. 🙂

My latest book launches at 8 am tomorrow, March 25th. I’m excited. This one reveals a new way to share your heart to increase your results. Check out the bonuses you get, the new membership site for it, a brief video explaining the seven lies people tell themselves, and much more. The whole thing goes live at 8 am over at http://inspiredmarketing.com/invitation/ Go see — and tell the world — but only if you feel inspired! 🙂

The self-development system that has helped me the most over the last twenty some years was created by someone you probably never heard of and I never met: Bruce DiMarsico.

Bruce developed a simple way to explore beliefs to find out why we aren’t usually happy (or any other word that suggests the same thing, from anger to fear to grief to envy to you-name-it).

I first heard of his method from Barry Neil Kaufman, who popularized it in such books as To Love Is To Be Happy With, and who I studied with briefly in 1985.

I later became very comfortable with the method (to the degree that I almost became a full-time practitioner of it rather than a marketer and author) after finding Mandy Evans, author of Travelling Free and Emotional Options, and a dear friend of mine for more than twenty years.

The system is called The Option Method.

I’ve written about it in such books of my own as The Key and Adventures Within. I also describe it in my new audio program, The Missing Secret. I’ve even trained my Miracles Coaches in how to use it for people wanting to get clear to attract miracles into their lives.

Until recently, there’s never been a book about the inventor of Option, the late Bruce DiMarsico himself. That book is The Guru Next Door.
The Guru Next Door brings the spirit of personal development expert Bruce Di Marsico’s revolutionary concept — the Option Method — to you and me. This remarkable book shares both the author (Wendy Dolber)’s experience with the man and the clear thinking behind his refreshing and reflective teachings.

I’ve been working on my tan outside (beautiful weather here in Texas) and reading this book off and on. I love it. Bruce was dedicated to exploring why we aren’t happy, and what he kept discovering is that the only thing preventing happiness in any moment is simply a belief.

A belief. That’s it.

We feel what we feel due to our beliefs. Of course, most of those beliefs are operating out of our immediate awareness. You have to slow down and look for them, or have someone like a Miracles Coach help you spot them.

I’m loving The Guru Next Door and recommend it to you – but only if you want to be happy.

Note: You can get your own copy of my new audio program The Missing Secret— which includes DVD, six CDs, workbook and booklet — all for you to review and try for yourself, by going to http://snipurl.com/missingsecret or to
http://www.nightingale.com/homepage.aspx?linktype=o4&org=ia28500106 and look under “New Releases” on the left. The program contains several clearing methods and will help you better understand beliefs, intentions, and the practical use of the law of attraction.

 I buy most of my books from Amazon. But I still love book stores and the adventure of discovering books Amazon didn’t suggest I’d like.

I’m in Austin today and grabbed five books (and a magazine) that I’m very excited about. The photo is of the batch. (Left click on it to enlarge it.)

Let me know if you want to know more about any or all of the titles. They are:

One Great Insight Is Worth a Thousand Good Ideas by Phil Dusenberry

The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Doidge

The Green Marketing Manifesto by John Grant

The Freedom Manifesto by Tom Hodgkinson

Neuromarketing by Patrick Renvoise and Christophe Morin

The magazine is the Jan/Feb ‘O8 issue of Performing Songwriter with Don Henley on the cover.

A couple of years ago I did an interview on how to write and publish your own e-book. You can listen to it at www.recognizedexpert.com/expert/f12/how-write-sell-e-book-7-days-joe-vitale-66

The interview was based on the record-breaking success of the e-book Jim Edwards and I have at www.7dayebook.com Hundreds of people have written their own ebooks (not always in seven days) due to our how-to manual.

If you’ve been trying to write your own e-book but haven’t done it yet, what you might need is a little help. To that end, check out Bill Hibbler’s teleseminar at www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=1638181

A former Miss America took Bill’s class and said —

“As Bill turns you inside out – but never loose, he challenges you to expose your best self to yourself and the world. His process forces you to cast aside your demons and celebrate your talents – the ones you thought were forever hidden. For sharing the tools that create the path to the relief of self-discovery, I will be eternally grateful to Bill Hibbler.” — Maria Beale Fletcher

E-books are still one of the easiest ways to make money online, so I encourage you to get yours out there.
