Non-Fiction - New Age
Reviewed by Deborah Lloyd for Readers' Favorite
For those who want to explore feminine spirituality and past life revelations, this book will certainly fascinate and inform you. The life of Mary Magdalene has been enveloped in mystery for two thousand years; sometimes vilified and other times honored for her role in the earliest days of Christianity. Through past life regressions conducted by the author, Mary Magdalene’s life is revealed. As a child, she had healing powers and knowledge beyond her years. Her adult years, including marriage and children, enduring joys and sorrows, and teaching other women spiritual truths, are intriguing. The author also worked with a second woman, who had a past life as Tamar, Mary’s daughter. The Magdalene Lineage: Past Life Journeys into the Sacred Feminine Mysteries, written by renowned regression therapist Reena Kumarasingham, is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn about this legendary woman and her teachings.
One of the most poignant aspects of this book is the author’s thoughtful comparisons to other sources of information about Mary Magdalene and Tamar. She carefully portrayed the historical era, including the cultural and political climate. Her description of the Essenes matches other texts describing the beliefs and works of this group. She also adds the reasons why certain sects and the early Christian Church portrayed Mary Magdalene in derogatory terms, rather than as the spiritual teacher and healer she was. Although the book contains much historical data, it is easily read and understood by any curious reader. Author Reena Kumarasingham has written a well-crafted and intriguing text in The Magdalene Lineage: Past Life Journeys into the Sacred Feminine Mysteries. A wonderful book!

The Future of Leadership in the Age of AI is a work of non-fiction in the business and technology sub-genres and was penned by author team Marin Ivezic and Luka Ivezic. Subtitled “Preparing Your Leadership Skills for the AI-Shaped Future of Work”, this informative and concise guidebook aims to prepare its readers for the greater implementation of Artificial Intelligence technologies into elements of business and economics such as data, processing, and rule-following. This leaves a precious gap for leaders who are both creative and socially aware and can utilize their distinctly human skills to motivate others and succeed in those areas where machines cannot replace them.
Author team Marin Ivezic and Luka Ivezic present a really interesting work on the future implementations and business predictions of AI, and thankfully it is one which neither glorifies them nor predicts a total apocalypse. Rather, this is a practical and informative guide to what Artificial Intelligence already does for the finance, business and economics worlds, and what it will continue to develop into as technology improves. The narrative tone is professional and clear, delivering straight facts with as little technical jargon and overcomplication as possible. There is a wonderful sense of celebration for the social and creative talents of human beings too, which gives the piece a highly motivational quality overall and shows hope for the future rather than stagnation or replacement. Overall, I would certainly recommend The Future of Leadership in the Age of AI to anyone working in business who needs a better understanding of emerging technology.

Reviewed by Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite
Life And Death Behind The Brick And Razor Code-Red Diamond by Isaac Alexis is a very informative book that parents must read if they have teenagers or children just starting middle or high school. The book is about his work in correctional medical facilities and what he has learned over the years. The author shares his personal experiences and makes a very compelling case for teenagers to rethink the choices they make. Isaac Alexis talks about how hard it is for the inmates to live a healthy life while incarcerated and how health problems can become more difficult over time. But it is not limited to that. Dr. Isaac Alexis also talks about drug addiction as not just an issue inside incarceration facilities but everywhere else. He urges teenagers to respect their bodies and make the right decision for themselves. Achieving your goals becomes much easier if you understand your body, protect it from any harm and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The author chooses his words very carefully to drive his arguments home. By sharing his own struggles with readers, he makes it easier for us to understand what he wants to convey. I felt a connection with the author who made it easier for me to take the advice and apply it to my life. He doesn’t just share tips; it is apparent that the author did his research and shares what he knows best. This book is like a wake-up call that we all need yet never get. Life in a correctional facility cannot be easy and it can take a toll on the minds and bodies of the people inside. This book will be helpful for the whole community as it offers information to educate and enlighten people about what can happen and how young people can avoid it for a better future.

There are a lot of favorite quotes in The 5 Core Conversations for Couples by Julie and David Bulitt and I marked a fair few. I love this one: ‘The concept of making a connection is soaked into our relationship blanket. The word itself is thrown and tossed around—and not just on TV—without much thought about what it means to make a connection, and what it really represents in terms of developing and maintaining a relationship.’ It represents just one of the genuine nuggets of wisdom hidden in this helpful toolbox for couples.
There were lots of sections in the book which struck home for me in my marriage of almost three decades. David and Julie Bulitt do an insightful job of highlighting the trigger points in most relationships and walk through each with painful honesty. They share personal stories and situations which cut very near the bone and I’m not sure I could be so brave. Coming from the perspective of an experienced family therapist and a divorce lawyer, the Bulitts have the market sewn up and yet their advice is strangely familiar. There are so many ‘aha’ moments hidden in the pages of this book, which will quickly become a handbook or instruction manual for living as half of a successful couple.
‘"It didn't take a heart-to-heart chitchat to know how you were feeling. I knew that when I saw my putter bouncing into the neighbor's yard," David points out.’ There were so many points in this book which found me laughing out loud. The situations are so raw and real that it will appeal to anyone looking for self-improvement. It’s the kind of workbook that can be read individually or as a couple and targeted questions at the end of each section force the reader to think about making the necessary changes. The 5 Core Conversations for Couples by Julie and David Bulitt is written as a conversation between a man and wife team and is hugely effective in providing a safe place to learn and grow.

Reviewed by Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite
The Evolved Masculine: Be The Man The World Needs & The One She Craves by Destin Gerek is an excellent book that all men should read to become evolved versions of their own selves. This book is a good tool for men to learn about masculinity, sexuality, and healthier ways of relating to women. The author first dreamed up an alter ego that was termed 'the Erotic Rockstar' and The Evolved Masculine was born from its ashes. It guided his own journey and reading this book will help to remove the self-limiting beliefs about masculinity, sex, and women. The author also shares the difficult parts of his life in this book and asks all men to walk the path of Evolved Masculinity with him so that they can take full responsibility for their lives.
This memoir is the author's story of self-discovery and his stories highlight his mistakes, vulnerabilities, and flaws. The book is an invitation to all men to unlearn their previous perceptions of what it means to be a man and to become full, integrated, and empowered as a result. Destin Gerek's journey is uplifting and encouraging to all readers who are looking for change and transformation by developing their masculine power, sexual mastery, and having better relationships. The techniques, tips, and strategies make it a good book to read during the journey to manhood, and will also help mothers of boys to guide them to raise emotionally conscious and intelligent boys. The topic has been dealt with in a very different and unique way, extensively and expansively, making the concept clear to readers. The Evolved Masculine is an excellent eye-opener for all men and will help them resolve the crisis of masculinity.

The Meaning of Life: A Guide to Finding Your Life's Purpose by Nathanael Garrett Novosel is a compelling work that provides tools for readers to find their purpose and to embrace it. While the title suggests a work that is motivational, the book is written from a scientific perspective and engages readers in honest conversations with themselves. I have read books that invite readers to discover the reason they are here, but very few provide clarity with regards to the path that readers can use to find their purpose. In this book, the author explores the different phases and moments of personal life and growth and redefines the concepts of growth, experience, desire, belief, emotions, ethics and support, and choice while showing the part that each of these plays in the individual’s discerning of their “why am I here?”
Nathanael Garrett Novosel is a great writer who asks existential questions like: "How did life come to be? How does life work? How should I live my life? And what should be my ultimate goal in life?” The book is filled with exercises that allow readers to determine whether they have a clear idea of what they are meant to do or not. The exercises are designed for the reader to dig deeper into themselves and identify what they really need. The book is written in an easy-to-read style that engages the reader right from the beginning. The Meaning of Life: A Guide to Finding Your Life's Purpose is an invaluable tool for finding the path in life and their place in the world. The idea of a meaningful life has captured many minds and those who don’t want to simply float through life will discover great tools to define their foothold in this book. Both inspiring and informative.

Picking Up The Shards by Anita M. Oommen is a poignant memoir that throws light on the author's traumatic experience of being rejected and abandoned by her mother and how she found solace in God during her times of trouble and struggle.

The Warrior's Meditation by Richard L Haight was a great beginner’s book on meditation. I have read quite a few books on mediation and am working on practicing so it was another introduction into a different aspect of meditation I was previously unaware of – the total embodiment method (TEM). It was also exceptionally useful in providing specifics of meditation such as how long to do it, positioning, and exercises. Of course, any beginner is sure to have questions and the book even does a question-and-answer section to help readers. For those who don’t know where to start, it certainly provides clarity. I also appreciated that the author provided their own experiences as it was beneficial to see that they also practice what they are trying to teach.
