This eBook is for anyone who ever said "I wish I could be like that person". Deep down we know that we all have the potential to be "that person", but  achieving it seems impossible in practise.

Well it’s not impossible. You have the power to change your life in many ways that you may not even realise. You can become more confident and motivated and find greater focus and direction in your life. You can become a better leader or manager and fill yourself with positive energy. All this and more can be achieved with the simple five-minute exercises in this book.

Once you get used to these techniques and have seen the real results you can achieve, you’ll understand how you can adapt the techniques directly to your own specific life and circumstances to achieve much more specific goals.

The power of visualisation has been known for centuries but it’s something you rarely come across. But think about it. Before building a house you need a plan, an architect’s drawing or blueprint. Without it the builders will not know where they are going or what to do next. But with a plan they can progress in an orderly fashion, from one task to the next ensuring (for example) that they don’t try to put the roof on before the walls have been built.

And so it is with life. You can think of these exercises as life blueprints. To create them you simply set aside a few minutes each day to visualise the part of your life you wish to change or improve, and as you do so you see where the problems are, and the solutions just pop into your mind.

If you visualise on a topic for several days you will see your visualisations grow. They will expand and become more detailed and you’ll start saying "Aha" as you begin to understand not only how you can make the change you want, but you’ll notice that you’ve actually already started out on the change.

And I promise there’s no mumbo jumbo in this book. Every technique is simply explained along with the reasons for why it will work. In these chapters you’ll find practical, real world changes you can achieve in your life using tried and tested techniques.

These exercises have worked for me many times over  - and they will work for you. Prepare to be astonished. From now on the answer is "Yes, I can!"

This is another free eBook from Robin Nixon, the author of "The Caverns of Eden", containing five brand new science fiction short stories:

In "The Man Who Stole the World" the consequences of allowing companies to own genetic modifications is explored to the extreme.

"The Smartest Assassin" details one possible implication of nanotechnology.

In "Hulo and the Stinkfruit" you get to see a glimpse a particularly challenging day for an inhabitant of a barren and alien world.

"That Day" looks at one possible result of not properly securing the new forms of energy we are creating.

And "The Lure of Gravity" is a nod to Asimov's early SF stories, in which two scientists strive to explain a very peculiar anomoly.

NOTE: Please download the new version 2 from the Android Market - this is the old version (which is still good, but the new one now also supports Windows Phone 7).

This free book is also a powerful eBook creator and reader. Its 12 chapters take you through all the simple tags it provides, which enable you to make professional looking publications. Written by the author of the best selling "Learning PHP, MySQL & JavaScript", you can be sure that this book and software has everything a writer needs to self publish quality digital titles.

You simply write or edit your manuscript as normal, placing a few special tags when you need headings or emphasis. While other tags support displaying audio and video, as well as Google Maps, and a whole lot more. And no, the tags aren't even as complicated as HTML. For example, just enter "#h:2|This is a heading" to create a second level heading.

Publications created using eML support folding and unfolding of sections, so already viewed items, or sections not currently of interest to the reader, can be hidden. eML publications are also extremely versatile because they are all of an eBook creator, a reader and a website, in the same small set of files. Just copy them to a website, or put them in a zip file and your readers can easily view them straight away, with no need for installing any reader software.

What's more, eML documents automatically adjust to the device on which they are viewed, so that they always look great, whether on Macs, PCs, iPods or iPhones, iPads, Windows Phones, or Android devices. And if you know how to write apps for these mobile platforms, eML publications can be dragged and dropped in a single operation, into an Xcode , Eclipse/ADK webview or MS Visual Studio Express WebBrowser, and they will automatically adjust themselves into native applications, which you can sell or give away in an online App store. All you have to do is choose how to display the app, and which features you'd like it to have.

This free book has all the information you need to create professional and dynamic digital publications, and links directly to a downloadable zip file containing everything needed to write your own eBooks using a Mac or PC, or any device that can create and save text files.

The eBook and accompanying software are released under a Creative Commons Share Alike license, which means that they are free to use and free to pass onto others, as long as the same license is used when doing so. Any publications you create using eML belong entirely to you and don't have to be released under any license, unless you choose to do so. You are therefore free to distribute your titles in any way you see fit, including giving them away or selling them for profit.
