On soaring . . .
A soaring bird is free to travel in any direction, simply by using tiny muscles to adjust the shapes of its wings and tail in relation to moving air. It’s not working against gravity. It’s dancing lightly with air. If you want the freedom of being able to fly as high and go as far as you wish, in any direction, at any time, almost effortlessly, and if you want your life to feel like soaring, then this book is for you.
This book does NOT ask you to:
• Follow step-by-step instructions for reaching any particular destination
• “Believe in” any kind of gods, healing entities, transcendent spirits, or parallel dimensions
• Chant endlessly, repeat mantras, or recite affirmations
• Change your diet, get more exercise, meditate, or schedule times for regular practice.
The approach is imminently right-here, right-now, let’s-do-this practical. It’s a functional response to the circumstances in which you’ve always been immersed. It’s based on what you’ll discover for yourself if you stop and take a good hard look at what goes on in your own mind.
This book is a smorgasbord of observations, insights, ideas, and helpful ways of thinking about how to soar. It includes many suggestions, with appropriate illustrative examples and stories, but leaves you free to choose your own path.
It’s primarily intended as a resource for your totally personal journey to wherever you want your life to go. It’s about helping you learn to soar in your own life.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
