Books about Self pity from Amazon.com

"Pity Transformed" is an examination of how pity was imagined and expressed in classical antiquity. It pays particular attention to the ways in which the pity of the Greeks and Romans differed from modern ideas. Among the topics investigated in this study are the appeal to pity in courts of law and the connection between pity and desert; the relation between pity and love or intimacy; self-pity; the role of pity in war and its relation to human rights and human dignity; divine pity from paganism to Christianity; and why pity was considered an emotion. This book will lead readers to ponder how the Greeks and Romans were both like and unlike us in this fundamental area of cultural sensibility..

Elegant Futures: Some will manifest and some will not, but their resonances act like beacons of energy, radiating power. Our task is to create the avenue -- the map -- that leads to those beacons of energy. And on this tape Lazaris gives us a wealth of tools to create the map: The Circle of Focus Technique, Dialoguing with our Future Self, Looping Time, and the Hall of Futures Technique, the Prisms of the Future Technique, and the immensely powerful Unconscious Programming Technique. In addition, there are ways and meditations suggested for dealing with the limitations that prevent our creating a standing wave of these beacons of energy, and a meditation with the Faces of the Soul and Higher Self to clear the blockages and make the connection with these luminous futures. 3 hours....

In Turtle Stew, Zayritah Dos Santos shares with us thoughts about understanding and accepting the pain of our journey through life, learning to heal and grow from it, developing a feeling of self-approval, and absolving ourselves of fear, guilt, and shame. In this thought-provoking work, the author's views and theories pertaining to the existence and role of God offer poignant advice as to how to best take control of our lives during the most challenging times we confront.

Ms. Dos Santos explains how we can reclaim the power over our lives that we've given up, embrace the theory of karma and, more than anything, find a god - a unique, individual, personal god - in what appears to be a godless world. Making a clear distinction between religion and God, she explains how most faiths are based on very similar tenets where only the name of the deity and meted punishment for transgressions differ.

Relying heavily on personal experience and keen observation of the human condition, Ms. Dos Santos vividly demonstrates how effectively forming a turtle-like shell without fully withdrawing from life's opportunities and obstacles can be a vital tool. Ms. Dos Santos' ability to communicate her sage wisdom and perspectives in Turtle Stew further enhances the appeal of this faith-based book..
