The Salaah (prayer) is the most special connection between a person and his/her Rubb. It sets the tone for everything in a Muslim's life. It is easy to slip into a rhythm of prayer that is dead and empty. This will only lead to a sick heart. Prayer originates deep in the heart and unfolds organically into words and body movements that beautifully give voice and shape to that deep love of the Divine echoing in the heart.

In this book by Moutasem Al-Hameedy, you will find jewels of advice that will help you pray in a state of presence and connection. A way that will help you rhyme with the universal symphony of devotion and connection to the Almighty.

The content of the book is based on talks and lectures delivered by the author in his own quest to find meaning and depth in his own Salaah. The author hopes that the content of this book and the experience it offers you, will be a means to blow the soul back in your prayer and help you experience the prayer at a more profound level of presence and connection.

It takes sincerity and hard work to act on the suggestions founds in this book. It takes patience and perseverance to see results. And most importantly, it takes complete trust in Allah and an honest sense of surrender that He is the only One who can give you Khushu' in your Salaah. When you let Him lead the way in the Salaah and stop overdoing focus and humility, you are more likely to feel Khushu' naturally emerging in your experience.

Bestselling writer and psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom puts himself on the couch in a lapidary memoir
Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others. In this profound memoir, he turns his writing and his therapeutic eye on himself. He opens his story with a nightmare: He is twelve, and is riding his bike past the home of an acne-scarred girl. Like every morning, he calls out, hoping to befriend her, "Hello Measles!" But in his dream, the girl's father makes Yalom understand that his daily greeting had hurt her. For Yalom, this was the birth of empathy; he would not forget the lesson. As Becoming Myself unfolds, we see the birth of the insightful thinker whose books have been a beacon to so many. This is not simply a man's life story, Yalom's reflections on his life and development are an invitation for us to reflect on the origins of our own selves and the meanings of our lives.

What makes a successful CEO? Most people call to mind a familiar definition: a seasoned manager with deep industry expertise. Others might point to the qualities of today’s so-called celebrity CEOs—charisma, virtuoso communication skills, and a confident management style. But what really matters when you run an organization? What is the hallmark of exceptional CEO performance? Quite simply, it is the returns for the shareholders of that company over the long term.
The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success by William N. Thorndike Jr. In this refreshing, counterintuitive book, author Will Thorndike brings to bear the analytical wisdom of a successful career in investing, closely evaluating the performance of companies and their leaders. You will meet eight individualistic CEOs whose firms’ average returns outperformed the S&P 500 by a factor of twenty—in other words, an investment of $10,000 with each of these CEOs, on average, would have been worth over $1.5 million twenty-five years later. You may not know all their names, but you will recognize their companies: General Cinema, Ralston Purina, The Washington Post Company, Berkshire Hathaway, General Dynamics, Capital Cities Broadcasting, TCI, and Teledyne. In The Outsiders, you’ll learn the traits and methods—striking for their consistency and relentless rationality—that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance.

Daniel Goleman's "What Makes a Leader?" (Harvard Business Review Classics) has garnered significant acclaim for its focus on emotional intelligence (EQ) as a crucial attribute for effective leadership.

Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolise "break time". This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson
