God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

She's so polite to the theists here I've not only seen her be nice to you but also to Drich because she's such a tolerant person. Just because she disagrees with you doesn't mean she's being unreasonable. So yes, no need for her to get bent but you, however, can get bent as far as I'm concerned. If you fob off those who are the most decent to you then I think you can get fucked (or bent, take your pick).

It's a tad New Age-y but maybe my New Age radar is up now that I live in Crazyfornia lol. I've got a copy of that in my collection too, although I haven't finished reading it. (It's slated to be re-read from the beginning at some later date, and then either returned to the collection or given away depending on whether or not I expect to read it again. I think I got about halfway through it before I got distracted.) The depression book is more of a collaborative effort and a bit more to the clinical side rather than New Age, and I did read the whole thing before passing it along to someone else.

Jesus christ, you just couldn't resist, could you? to OP I can't think of any books I've read that are anything like a motivational, pep talk type of thing... but there are some books that have helped me get out of slumps... books that are more about the mind itself and how to deal with different mental states. The Art of Thinking: The Classic Guide to Increasing Brain Power by Allen F. Harrison and Robert M. Bramson The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene Mastery by Robert Greene The Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living by Russ Harris and Steven Hayes The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business by Charles Duhigg Managing Your Mind: The Mental Fitness Guide by Gillian Butler and Tony Hope
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll |
