I Believe: When What You Believe Matters!

by Eldon Taylor

Overview

What’s the foundation underpinning success in all areas of life? Is there a blueprint? What if you learned that your beliefs were the very cornerstones that supported success, and that some could give rise to success in certain areas but complete failure in others? Would you choose to build a stronger overall foundation? Very few people today doubt the power of positive thinking. We all know that if we expect to fail, then that’s inevitably what we get. There’s also the issue of the mind-body connection—science is repeatedly demonstrating the power of belief to heal. What you hold to be true can and does have a huge impact on the quality of your life—from success in business to fulfilling relationships, from your ability to learn and master new subjects to your ability to heal your own body. But have you ever stopped to consider your own beliefs—to truly examine them and decide for yourself if they’re serving you or sabotaging you? Eldon Taylor has spent more than 25 years researching the power of the mind and developing scientifically proven methods to enhance the quality of your life. I Believe is a book that will not only inspire you, but will highlight the kinds of beliefs you hold that may be causing you to fail. In the process, it will provide you with the opportunity to choose, once again, what will drive your life.

Editorial Reviews

"I Believe" is one of those special books to be experienced and contemplated not just read and the information recorded. Enjoy the journey... I did."  
Lindsay Wagner, actress, author, and advocate of human potential


“The ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus taught his students that what happens to them is not as important as what they believe
happens to them. In this engaging and provocative book, Eldon Taylor provides his readers with speci!c ways in which their beliefs can lead
to success or failure in their life undertakings. Each chapter provides nuggets of wisdom as well as road maps for guiding them toward
greater self-understanding, balance, responsibility, and compassion.”
— Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Alan Watts Professor of psychology and humanistic studies, Saybrook University, and co-author of Personal Mythology




“I Believe is an inspiring book that shows you all the bene!ts of choosing your beliefs carefully.”
— John Gray, Ph.D., New York Times best-selling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus




“A new view of mind and consciousness is arising from within science and psychology. This emerging picture honors the power of belief, meaning, and purpose, and brings with it stunning possibilities of human potential. Eldon Taylor’s I Believe is a nononsense invitation to experience this domain for yourself. This book deserves a wide readership, especially for anyone who’s interested in self-responsibility and prevention in health. In the end, it’s this vision that will turn around our nation’s faltering health care, which makes this book all the more important.”
— Larry Dossey, M.D., author of!Reinventing Medicine! and The Power of Premonitions




“In straightforward Eldon fashion, you’ll learn how to plug into all you desire, and you’ll understand why you may have been the source of your sabotage. Whether it’s a matter of relationships or wellness, prosperity or self-satisfaction, this book will open a new vista of understanding solidly connected to scienti!c evidence. You’ll read it and re-read it, sharing its valuable content with everyone you love.”
— Peggy McColl, New York Times best-selling author of Your Destiny Switch



“Most of us live life according to the story of who we think we are. Past wounds, disappointments, poor choices, and a gnawing awareness that we are not living life to its maximum potential in a state of harmony and joy are a direct result of this self-limiting myth. In this book, Eldon Taylor encourages us to activate the inner reservoir of our untapped potential and to question our prior beliefs and patterns of behavior. Creating a ‘new’ story can liberate us to become our most authentic selves and to celebrate the miracle and adventure of life, in a world of in!nite possibilities.”
— Annamaria Hemingway, Ph.D., author of Practicing Conscious Living and Dying and Myths of the Afterlife




“For inestimable millennia, global human-race consciousness has typically tended toward embracing fear and worry as a way of life and often all but forgetting the true and only power of love, as ampli!ed by personal, conscious awareness of one’s Divine Self. Dr. Taylor’s newest book clearly demonstrates that there truly is an emerging trend to return to this Divine awareness. This is exempli!ed in his intelligent, caring language, ideas, and methods to help the reader to achieve subtle but powerful spiritual awareness to dissolve the fear while !nding personal balance in one’s life. Promoting ‘love is the great equalizer,’ his obvious appreciation of being a curious and vibrant human, immersed in a joyful, supportive universe, brings delightful buoyancy to the pages, transmitting his inescapable exuberance and positivity to the reader.”
— August Goforth, author of The Risen: Dialogues of Love, Grief & Survival




“The author deftly weaves insights, humor, questions, and personal anecdotes into a humanized worldview that’s extremely readable, entertaining, and informative. Since we all unfold our human lives out ‘into’ the beliefs we have, this book is a very useful road map for how to live both gracefully and authentically. Highly recommended.”
— Chuck Hillig, author of Enlightenment for Beginners and Seeds for the Soul
