You Can Be Happy No Matter What: Five Principles for Keeping Life in Perspective

Book Description

By understanding five key principles — Thought, Moods, Separate Realities, Feelings, and the Present Moment — we can discover a new mode of living that doesn’t repress natural emotions nor allow us to become overwhelmed by feelings and thoughts. We are raised to believe our happiness depends on outside circumstances. Yet Carlson shows that happiness has nothing to do with forces beyond our control. In fact, our natural state is contentment. He teaches us how to recognize that state and do everything we can to foster it. From the author of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, You Can Be Happy No Matter What is a navigational tool that guides listeners through life’s trials and restores the joy of living along the way.

You can be happy no matter what .......2007-03-27

Like the Secret I gave to my wife since she thinks these cds are helpful. So from what I can tell she likes listening to all the self help just a different way of looking at help and positive thinking.

My inner monologue says, "Eh . . . .".......2007-03-24

I don't think there is anything revolutionary here but there is some good common sense. Yes, we have an inner voice constantly talking away and, yes, it's good to realize when to discount that voice and, yes, we need to realize other people have their own 'thought systems' and inner voices going all the time and, yes, we need to live more in the moment. Perhaps I'm too happy already, but I didn't find much more here than some good reminders and the writing, while clear, was average.

Turned my life around -slowly.......2007-03-10

I have been reading Richard Carlson's books for about 8 months now. I started with this one. I have been struggling with depression for years. Looked everywhere and tried a lot of different things. Carlson's books have slowly over 8 months turned my life around. I usually read a little from one of his books everyday (I have several). Try it! You'll like it!

A must-have for worriers.......2007-03-07

This book is absolutely revolutionary in its ideas and concepts. It will completely help anyone who worries. This book is so simple and yet its ideas ring true. I am telling all my friends that if they need a book to read, this is what they should get and share with thier friends as well. This book has helped to change the way I think to a more positive healthy way. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Good Enough.......2007-02-09

Yeah, it won't cure schizophrenia and it's not a panacea by any means. But it is effective for 90% of us. Our amazing imaginations can torture and screw up our lives because we won't accept that, just because we think it, it doesn't mean it's rational. Holding on to our fears or negative thoughts gives us a false sense of control. This book doesn't encourage that creepy, disconnected, forced, cheerful stuff. It helps you find peace when you can so that when you get knocked down you will have strength enough to get back up again.

Book Description

Donald D. Clayton's Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis remains the standard work on the subject, a popular textbook for students in astronomy and astrophysics and a rich sourcebook for researchers. The basic principles of physics as they apply to the origin and evolution of stars and physical processes of the stellar interior are thoroughly and systematically set out. Clayton's new preface, which includes commentary and selected references to the recent literature, reviews the most important research carried out since the book's original publication in 1968.

New edition marred by typos and awkward editing.......1998-11-01

This new edition of the classic text is a disappointment, and it's use as a textbook is not recommended.

For this 3d edition, the list of typographical errors compiled by colleagues and myself stands at four pages and growing. Errors can be found in the text, the chapter problems, and their solutions. Other solutions which are not clearly wrong may inexplicably differ from your own solution at the second significant digit.

Formulae are rarely derived from first principles. One exception is the change in wavelength for a photon undergoing Compton scattering from an electron, but, even here, a crucial equation (the relativistic energy invariant) is conspicuously omitted, without which the final equation cannot be derived. The text does not even mention relativity in discussing Compton scattering. (The index does reference "Relatively effects" (sic) at pp. 4-11.)

Equations and formulae contain, at times, an unnecessary proliferation of multiplication signs and units which obscures the underlying physical principles and the simplicity of the equations themselves. Students are better served by a clear mathematical presentation of the underlying physics, rather than being dropped into the middle of an obscure equation made even more so by the inclusion of several constants whose only purpose is to make the units work out. While any text on this subject must deal with the unavoidability of old and new units, my suggestion is to derive the formulae from first principles and deal with the units issue (which, after all, only amounts to including appropriate conversion factors) separately as examples or chapter problems.

Finally, the multiplication sign, "x", should be reserved for arithmetic and scientific notation, not symbolic mathematical equations. See, e.g., Equations (3.10), (4.31), (10.17), (10.32), etc., as examples where the multiplication sign is unnecessary. The text also uses the multiplication sign even where numerical values are already set off by parentheses. The text's overuse of the multiplication sign gives the text a grade-schoolish flavor.

Useful general text on radiation protection and safety.......1998-01-02

In over 25 years since its first edition, this classic textbook has been used to train countless professionals in the fundamentals of radiation protection and safety. This third edition of Cember's work incorporates several fundamental changes in radiation protection standards and methodologies adopted since publication of the second edition in 1983. The third edition has also been expanded to include more recent safety standards for radiofrequency and microwave exposure.

This textbook is useful for an upper division undergraduate or first graduate course in radiological protection, health physics, or radiation safety. Each chapter is accompanied by a useful set of problems and suggested readings. Unfortunately, many of the readings and references cited are either out of print or difficult to find.

Book Description

Many people believe they can only be happy when their problems are solved, relationships improve, and goals are achieved. In this simple guide, Dr. Richard Carlson shows readers how to be happy right now — no matter the situation. His plan, based on the principles of Thought (thoughts are voluntary, not involuntary);Mood (thinking is a voluntary that varies function varies from moment to moment and these variances are called moods); Separate Realities (everyone thinks in a unique way and lives in separate psychological realities); Feelings (feelings and emotions serve as a barometer for when one is “off-track” and headed for unhappiness); and the Present Moment (the only time when genuine contentment, satisfaction, and happiness). This timeless book guides readers through life's challenges and restores the joy of living along the way.

Help yourself.......2007-09-27

A basic concept of life changing significance explained in simple terms by the author. A forehead thumping wake up call for seekers of truth and the narrow path. With this book in hand, you have a chance to help yourself to experience life at a higher level.

You Can Be Happy No Matter What.......2007-08-17

For many of us, happiness is a goal that we never seem to achieve. We closely examine our unhappiness and fret over all the issues in our lives. We know in our hearts and our very souls that if we can just earn a little more money, deal with a childhood trauma, or get married that we'll finally be happy. Unfortunately, once we succeed in these endeavors, a whole new set of issues appears and we find ourselves still unhappy.

Life doesn't stop just because we read a self help book or decide to work on our issues. There is no secret formula that magically absolves a person from facing the challenges that we all experience. The ups and downs of everyday life will always be there. However, you can choose how you feel about yourself and your life. You can see problems as defining you as a failure or as a bad person or you can see them as merely a natural part of life. You can try to make your child act just the way you want or nag at your husband because he's not perfect or you can get some perspective and see that these little things aren't all that important in the scope of your love and happiness.

Perhaps, the most important thing I gained from You Can Be Happy No Matter What is the importance of taking time out. Like most human beings, when I'm in a low mood, the world seems darker and my problems more difficult. In the past, I thought that I had to solve these issues as they came up. As the author states though, real problems won't disappear when you are feeling more yourself. Little irritants that don't really matter will simply fall away. Then, you can work on your real problems and actually have a clear mind to do so.

Not for everybody.......2007-04-05

This book isn't for everybody; it certainly wasn't for me. Granted, I was so unimpressed that I didn't finish it, so take that as you see fit. This book reads like a college essay, covering the same points over and over and over and using exaggerated and sometimes unrealistic examples. The book talks about how thoughts aren't reality and how everyone's perspectives are different - common sense things like that.

This book mainly brings people back from the edge to an equilibrium state by pounding some basic principles into their minds. I feel I'm already at the state he tries to bring you to, and his suggestions won't make a person like me happier.

If you're looking for common sense and equilibrium, I recommend this book, but if you're looking for something more, I'd say to move along.

Great book on taking care of your mental health.......2007-03-28

I was traveling and bought this book to have something to read and bought it because it had a foreward from Wayne Dyer. I wasnt disappointed. The author covers five points to happiness and all of them are in my circle of influence for sure. Sure I might know these when he points them out but the way he explains them is great. It is simple, easy to read and if you do what he says they work. I have been impressed with the results of the book. Great read with impact.

Good Stuff.......2007-03-15

The book is very good at bringing up points that most of us already know but we don't use wisely. I think it is a good refresher course on "life". Great book, I definitely recommend it.

desperate need of 2nd edition.......2007-06-20

This is a great introductory text into solid state physics. Do not expect mathematic rigor but do expect to obtain qualitative understanding. I bought this book while taking Condensed Matter where the main text was Ashcroft and Mermin. The class was taught horrifically and I was not ready for the level of A&M. I bought this book and it was a fine accompaniment.

That being said, there are problems. There are numerous errors (maybe they are corrected in the revised version). Omar uses n and N interchangeably for electron concentration which bothered me greatly. Also the problems are not that great. You don't learn a lot from doing them. A second edition would hopefully correct these issues.

A very good textbook.......2003-10-25

The book is, indeed, much better organized, and much more intelligible and pleasant to use than the unfortunate Kittel "standard." With some tweaking, it's a good undergraduate course textbook and deserves to be wider known. Despite its age (basically, from the mid-1970's), it discusses a number of applications which are of current interest: semiconductor devices and optics, liquid crystals and polymers, some biomolecules. There are very few good solid-state texts, and this one's in the top row.

Far superior to Kittel's book despite age.......1999-04-06

This is a corrected printing of the 1975 text which was plagued with mistakes. Omar does a good job introducing topics with easy to understand examples and good qualitative explanations. The very first chapter gets the reader off to a good start with a thorough, but understandable, teatment of crystallography (other authors always manage to botch this). Omar's problem sets are lengthier, more varied, and above all, more doable than those in Kittel's text. The problem sets are preceded by a set of qualitative questions, which are good practice for the occasional conceptual problem that the instructor may include on an exam. The text has two minor drawbacks which are forgiveable in light of the dearth of good intorductory texts on the subject. First, the author did not update the text at all, (did he pass away?) but simply corrected many old mistakes. It was undoubtedly an up to date text circa 1975 but his treatment of more specialized topics (i.e. superconductivity) is badly out of date. Of course the basics, such as x-ray diffraction and band theory, have not changed so it is a perfectly good book for a one semester or one quarter course. The second drawback is that the bibliography, which cites textbooks that the author thought useful in the mid-'70's, was not updated either. The first five chapters in this text correspond to the first seven in Kittel. If you are unlucky enough to have been assigned Kittel, reading Omar will clarify many matters and provide you with an abundance of solveable practice problems.

Book Description

Professor Ziman’s classic textbook on the theory of solids was first pulished in 1964. This paperback edition is a reprint of the second edition, which was substantially revised and enlarged in 1972. The value and popularity of this textbook is well attested by reviewers’ opinions and by the existence of several foreign language editions, including German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Polish and Russian. The book gives a clear exposition of the elements of the physics of perfect crystalline solids. In discussing the principles, the author aims to give students an appreciation of the conditions which are necessary for the appearance of the various phenomena. A self-contained mathematical account is given of the simplest model that will demonstrate each principle. A grounding in quantum mechanics and knowledge of elementary facts about solids is assumed. This is therefore a textbook for advanced undergraduates and is also appropriate for graduate courses.

Customer Reviews:

Wow a pleasure to read.......2005-03-11

There are few physics books that I can say I enjoy reading for fun (and I'm a student of physics) but I must admit that this book is excellent. It holds true not only to its reputation but to what the author's original intent was. It is thorough, enlightening, to the point and fun to read, the author's sense of humor not only aids in ease or reading but makes retention and elucidation all the more easy! This is an excellent graduate text on basic solid sate physics, even though it was published in 1975.

It covers all the bascis areas, from periodicty to lattice waves, phonons, semiconductors etc at an accessible level to the beginning graduate student. A must read.

A joy to read.......2003-01-19

This book deserves to be much more widely used. Ziman's prose is simply wonderful, where Kittel is unreadable, and Ashcroft & Mermin often dense. It's a bit quirky (how on earth did he find the epigrams for each chapter?) but that is what makes it lovable. Anyone who doubts his scientific soundness should check out his massive "Electrons & Phonons."

The main advantage of this book is that it emphasizes conceptual understanding over mathematical manipulation. That's also its weakness: Ziman often glosses over or just sketches what in other texts would be occasions for massive algebra. Perhaps if you are a true theorist type, you can fill in the blanks on your own. As an experimentalist, I feel like I need some other intro texts to make me feel like I can do *some* math in the field. On the other hand, I don't know of any textbook that makes me feel I could do the truly heavy lifting.

No doubt as good as the first edition.......2002-03-17

I used heavily the first edition of this book, and have not seen the second, but it is no doubt as good as the first, which was packed full of insights into the many rich phenomena that exists in solids. It has served, and will serve, future generations of students in the 21st century in their development of new ideas and technologies based on condensed matter physics.

Writers of physics texts should follow the strategy that this author does, in his statement that "a treatise expounds; a textbook explains". The emphasis of any book in physics should be in developing the reader's intuition; the mathematics sometimes takes hold and moves the reader away from the essential ideas. The author is one of the few who has not done this, and that is no doubt the reason for this book's popularity.

An excellent classic.......2001-08-03

The book is surely an advanced treatment of solid state physics and as such, the uninitiated reader may not necessarily appreciate the beauty of the treatment at first. Indubitably, however, Ziman presents a coherent and clear exposition in which the principles of the solid state are explained in a unified manner --a merit many books are missing. It is a joy to read if you have the basics covered in an earlier course and/or self-study. Ziman's Shakespearian flair is virtually impossible to not realize and in turn, further enhances the quality of the exposition. For those who would like to kick their theoretical background up a notch, this book is the right answer.

Very good; not really intro level, though........2000-08-04

For students who have Kittel or Ashcroft/Mermin under their belt, this book provides a somewhat more mathematical presentation of fundamental concepts in solid state theory, as is clear from the contents shown on this site. I might add, that Ziman is a highly respected physicist, well known for his work on superconductivity. This was the first book I got into my hands that said something like "as the group of lattice translations is abelian, Bloch functions that are translated change only by a phase factor", which made me hungry for more.

Very strong monograph.......2004-03-07

Given the time at which it was written, this book is still unsurpassed in its quality, conciseness, and clarity of style in the field of NMR. It was written by a physicist, contrary to Ernst's book, which is also excellent but focuses more on the interpretation of spectra rather than spin physics. (This was of course Ernst's intent anyways, there already was an excellent textbook on NMR by Abragam; he saw no need to reinvent the wheel.) While Abragam's book is quite a joy to read, it is also rather outdated. Nearly half the topics dealt with are no longer in use today. It needs to be supplemented by Ernst's book, as well as Callaghan's book. I also recommend Abragam & Goldman's book "Order and disorder" for a treatment of more modern NMR physics, if like me, you like eclectic topics. Abragam uses a purely quantum approach, and does not treat feynman path integral approach to relaxation. The chapter on relaxation is excellent, and has been praised by many, but he does not really explain much of the theory of random processes, so you'll need to learn this stuff elsewhere if you've never been exposed to stochastic processes before (well, Abragam makes very simple markov approximations, which is easy to understand as is- without too much extra background). Definitely the chapter on dipolar line width is worth mentioning.

The classic on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.......1998-05-06

Referenced in countless professional journal articles, this 1961 classic is one of the seminal treatises on the subject of Nuclear Magnetism. Topics addressed are: motion of free spins, basic resonant and non-resonant methods, macroscopic aspects of nuclear magnetism (Bloch equations, transient methods, detection methods), Dipolar line width in a rigid lattice, spin temperature, electron-nuclear interactions, quadrupole effects (fine structure), thermal relaxation, line width theory, multiplet structure in liquids, and effects of strong RF fields.

Book Description

This text, designed for beginning students of stellar physics, introduces the fundamentals of stellar structure and evolution. In emphasizing the general picture of the life cycles of stars and the physics responsible, it also allows prospective specialists a taste of many of the detailed aspects of this mature discipline. The authors develop a solid foundation in important theory that is often overlooked in typical courses, yet steer clear of extraneous intensive mathematics and physics. Topics include nuclear physics and stellar energy sources, the equation of state of stellar material, phenomenological approaches to convection, and modern numerical techniques for computation of stellar evolution. Keeping pace with recent developments, the authors incorporate important elements such as asteroseismology, and the effects of rotation and magnetic fields. The text contains the source code for two useful programs, ZAMS (for constructing chemically homogeneous zero-age main sequence models) and PULS (to study the seismological properties of the ZAMS models). Some chapters include exercises. The diskette can be used on any computer with a FORTRAN compiler.

Book Description

This invaluable book provides a pointed introduction to the fascinating subject of bottom-up nanotechnology with emphasis on the molecular-based study of condensed matter in small systems. Nanotechnology has its roots in the landmark lecture delivered by the famous Nobel Laureate physicist, Richard Feynman, on 29 December 1959 entitled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom." By the mid-1980s, it had gained real momentum with the invention of scanning probe microscopes. Today, nanotechnology promises to have a revolutionary impact on the way things are designed and manufactured in the future.

Principles of Nanotechnology is self-contained and unified in presentation. It may be used as a textbook by graduate students and even ambitious undergraduates in engineering, and the biological and physical sciences who already have some familiarity with quantum and statistical mechanics. It is also suitable for experts in related fields who require an overview of the fundamental topics in nanotechnology. The explanations in the book are detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader, and complete enough to provide the necessary background material needed to go further into the subject and explore the research literature. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology, a comprehensive glossary is included detailing abbreviations, chemical formulae, concepts, definitions, equations and theories.

This book could be good if a great professor was teaching with it. I had the misfortune of having another poor University of California, San Diego professor which made the book a priority to read. I found the book to be once again excessive in derivation and the problems required too much interpolation to make any good use of the tables provided. The tables were great however could not be used efficiently when solving problems, thus making homework sessions tedious rather than instructive.
