Sissel Tvedtes selvbiografi er blitt en uvanlig og original bok etter norske forhold - kanskje fordi forfatteren er et uvanlig menneske. Hun gir oss en spennende skildring av opplevelser, innsikter og reiser gjennom India og andre land . slik som mange andre bare kan drømme om. Samtidig forteller hun åpent om sine erindringer fra tidligere liv og sin voksende forståelse av karma og reinkarnasjon. Sissel var blant de første alternativterapeutene i Norge, og en av de første som lærte seg «rebirthing» eller frigjørende pusteteknikk (også kalt «holotropisk pusting»). I boken deler hun med seg av mange konkrete tips og øvelser som du selv kan bruke i din hverdag for å prøve f.eks. healing og meditasjon. Hvordan reagerer et vanlig menneske når det plutselig begynner med nær-døden og ut-av-kroppen-opplevelser, eller får clairvoyante visjoner om andre? Fortellingen begynner med den lille piken som «druknet» og ble bortsatt på barnehjem, og fortsetter frem til at hun fikk møte både Moder Theresa og Sai Babas elefant.

Ferdinand von Schirach er en av Tysklands fremste forsvarsadvokater. Hans debutbok Forbrytelser er en samling elleve sjokkerende fortellinger om forbrytelse og straff, basert på egne erfaringer fra rettssalen. Etter førti års ekteskap dreper Fähner, en eldre og høyt respektert landsbylege, sin kone med en øks. Denne dypt urovekkende fortellingen er inngangen til Ferdinand von Schirachs kraftfulle novelledebut. Som forsvarsadvokat i Berlin er von Schirachs dager uløselig forbundet med vold, drap og grusomheter i den kriminelle underverdenen. I Forbrytelser vever han sin kunnskap og erfaring sømløst sammen med et enormt fortellertalent. I elleve fortellinger møter vi karakterer fra alle samfunnslag; narkohandlere, prostituerte, pønkere, overklassefamilier og respekterte forretningsmenn. Her møter vi blant annet de tilsynelatende priviligerte, men forsømte søskenene Theresa og Leonard som rømmer fra et kjærlighetsløst hjem for noen dyrekjøpte minutter i frihet, og den navnløse mannen som slutter å snakke etter å ha drept to skinheads.Stilsikkert, med en klinisk presisjon, tvinger von Schirach oss til å revurdere vår oppfatning av kriminelle og deres motiver, og utfordrer vårt forhold til lov og rett, forbrytelse og straff. Hvorfor straffer vi? Hvordan soner vi? Og hvem tjener på rettferdigheten vi søker? Ved å skrive ut fra sitt helt unike ståsted har von Schirach levert en stille storm av en samling med nyanserte perspektiver der mennesket bak står i sentrum.

Det er ikke de store hendelsene, tankene eller avgjørelsene som er nøkkelen til varig, positiv endring; det er hverdagens små, repetitive handlinger. Lær å fylle gjentakende daglige gjøremål med mening, kraft og intensjon - gjøre dem til ritualer etter oppskriften som sikrer at forvandlingen befester seg. Det handler ikke om å endre vaner, det handler om å gi handlingsmønstre et rituelt innhold. Theresa Cheung har universitetsbakgrunn i teologi og engelsk, og hun har skrevet flere bestselgere innenfor alternativ helse og livssyn.
