#1 The Power of Chakras by Susan Shumsky
The Power of Chakras is a book that every man should read, because it reveals ancient mysteries about the life force energy that flows through the body. That energy, which, when awakened, flows up the spine, is called âkundalini.â This same energy, when flowing downward, is the creative power in sex. When my publisher asked me to write The Power of Chakras, I went back to the ancient scriptures of India to unearth the most authentic information I could find about the topic.
This book discloses practical, time-tested methods to expand your magnetic attraction, increase your sexual energy and potency, and to bring you greater health and wellbeing. In addition, the book reveals mind-blowing, very esoteric information about the creation of the universe, the cycles of time, your subtle energy field, and the mysteries of spiritual enlightenment. It is simply the most genuine, profound, esoteric book on the chakras available.

In fact, men in a relationship with a narcissist often don't know where to begin and how to handle a range of thorny issues from infidelity to custody to how did I get into this mess - while narcissism is more prevalent in men (making this also a useful book for men to understand this phenomenon) - it affects all genders.

Although I am far beyond thirty years of age, I found this book to be very inspirational. It is definitely a motivational book, as we hear from both men and women who have broadened their horizons through travel, , education, networking, and careers. What all those interviewed seem to have in common was a positive attitude towards life and faith in a higher power and themselves. They are individuals who want to make the world a better place, and they have been able to forge ahead and do so, even when life throws some barriers their way. They have accepted that âgrowing pains are part of the journey.â I highly recommend this âfeel goodâ book.

Great book. Great stories.
