Soul Mapping An Imaginative Way to Self Discovery

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Hear even the “faint calls and small voices” of vocation
This is a superb book. It doesn’t work out linearly: you could read one chapter and one chapter there and do their respective exercises without losing on anything. It’s not a “read-only” book but a workbook where you reflect on different areas of your life and write down the key ideas you discovered about yourself. And even if you thoroughly worked on yourself before, you are subject to find out new, uncharted areas. It discusses such unexplored subjects as the envy you feel that gives clues about your vocation, the detours and losses of your life, the power of place (favorite travels and inner terrains). The last chapter puts everything together, whenever you’re ready. Take your time, you could be working on it for many weeks or months. Enjoy yourself!

5 Stars Soul Mapping Offers a Gradual, Deep Path to Self-Discovery
I have long been interested in the problem-framing approach known as mind mapping, and that’s what led me to order a copy of this excellent new book. I have only had a copy of Soul Mapping in hand for about a week, and I am already very excited about the work I have completed in it. It’s not one of those “instant fix” self-help books, but one that offers a curriculum for life change that will probably take me several months, or more, to work through slowly. I like that – the feeling that I am working gradually on a process that will help me better understand myself, my place in the world and the options available to me out there. It’s a truly caring, thoughtful and intelligent book that emphasizes authentic life changes over quick ones. I’m very pleased and I hope this book will find the wide audience it deserves.

4 Stars A Great Resource!!
Diane Connell’s “Brain-Based Strategies To Reach Every Learner” is a great resource for teachers AND parents!

As a primary school teacher for 20 years, and now currently working as a consultant in schools with parents,students and teachers on how to switch students on to learn in a way that makes sense to them, I can highly recommend this book. Crammed full of really useful information – and presented in a style that makes sense – you don’t have to be a teacher to understand the message that we all learn in different ways… and that learning can be fun!

For teachers there are so many great tips and ideas which can be easily implemented in the classroom and for parents who want to find out what makes their child ‘tick’, this book is a real revelation. A top read – well done Diane!

4 Stars A good resource for teachers
“Brain Based Strategies to Reach Every Learner” by Diane Connell, Ed.D. is a worthwhile resource for teachers who want an overview of the principles of some important psychological theories and how they apply to lesson plans in the classroom. For example, the book offers strategies for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners and the importance of using lesson plans that reach each type of student. Other ideas include memory strategies. Often children may be asked to simply memorize information (e.g. the 50 states), but may have difficulty simply memorizing or may forget the information after a short time. The book offers some excellent ideas (based on memory research) to help a child to put information into long-term memory from working memory. Other topics include Gardner’s nine factor theory of intelligence. Once again, it describes Gardner’s theory (which is an excellent one by the way), and offers suggestions in the classroom to reach kids with various strengths (e.g. musical intelligence) which are not consistently measured in traditional school curriculums on a consistent basis. The book begins with basic brain anatomy and discussion of left and right brained learners. The reader will probably find some new ideas to apply to lesson plans and in using these ideas may be able to reach more nontraditional learners.

Brain Based Therapy with Children and Adolescents Evidence Based Treatment for Everyday Practice

Designed for mental health professionals treating children and adolescents, Brain-Based Therapy with Children and Adolescents: Evidence-Based Treatment for Everyday Practice is a simple but powerful primer for understanding and successfully implementing the most critical elements of neuroscience into an evidence-based mental health practice. Written for counselors, social workers, psychologists, and graduate students, this new treatment approach focuses on the most common disorders facing children and adolescents, taking into account the uniqueness of each client, while preserving the requirements of standardized care under evidence-based practice.

5 Stars The Future of Talking Cures
In their book, Brain Based Therapy with Children and Adolescents: Evidence-Based Treatment for Everyday Practice, Linford and Arden present a compelling case not only for the future directions of psychotherapy and the “talking cures” but for many other professional activities.

But first, why is this so compelling? Linford and Arden systematically present and explore the implications of a growing knowledge base for their assumptions that the future of these talking cures is multidimensional: understanding neurophysiologic substrates and the behavioral manifestations of brain activities, for example, puts therapists of all stripes in a different arena as they practice their craft. Therapists, then, will not only believe they have a deep and meaningful impact on a person’s life, but will have the scientific research and thoughtful reasoning to back it up. Mental health practitioners will no longer have to “take a stand” or make a choice about their allegiances on “how therapy works”, which has been so divisive and unfriendly to reasoned dialogue.

The evidence, as Linford and Arden present it, is coming into focus and is beginning to influence all practitioners, e.g. psychoanalysts are paying much closer attention to the research from infant and child development, as well as behavioral neurology, genetics, neurochemistry and neuroradiology.

Clearly this book, and its companion, Brain-Based Therapy with Adults, is a significant contribution to the literature in many professional fields on the influence of brain activity on the entire range of human behavior. This is a professional book and not one aimed at the general reader, for it demands attention and study to reap the rewards of their work.

It is great pleasure to endorse this work and I look forward to further work by these authors.

5 Stars Informative and Inspiring
Both books provide current, informative and inspiring information about recent advances in brain research and implications for clinical psychology practice.

Brain Based Learning With Class

In this book, the authors have adapted Eric Jensen’s ten principles that need to be implemented in the classroom for a brain-compatible approach to teaching and learning. These principles include uniqueness, emotions, nutrition, and elimination of threat. The authors also show ways in which brain-based learning can have a positive effect on all aspects of classroom life. The book provides basic information about the brain, ways to teach the students about the brain and how learning works, and dozens of practical brain-based activities for students of every age.

5 Stars Excellent introduction to Brain-Based Learning
Given the explosion of information on the brain, where can busy teachers begin to make sensible use of it? As it is commonly known, the best way to learn is to teach. Rentention is supposed to reach 95% (William Glasser). So this book only gives a basic description of the brain and then adapts Jensen’s ten principles for teaching and learning. These are: uniqueness, assessment, emotions, meaning, multi-path, brain-body, memory, nutrition, cycles and rhythms, and elimination of threat. We are not only given an explanation, but also provided with lesson plans and diverse activities to teach such principles. Black line masters are included for reproduction for class use. Everything is guided by the relevance check: WIIFM (What’s In It For Me?) and SWYAK (Show What You Already Know). If only all teachers could work through such a teaching program, both teachers and students would have such brain-based principles built into them as a way of life. We will all grow in self-esteem competence, multiple intelligences, emotional intelligence, health, purpose and overall well-being.

5 Stars Brain-based Learning With Class
An excellent resource full of strategies, ideas and motivation for teachers. A must have in every classroom. Learn how the brain works, how children with a variety of multiple intelligences learn best and how to create a welcoming, enjoyable atmosphere in your classroom. The activities and strategies are presented in a way that makes teaching easy. Pick up the book and start teaching, you won’t be disappointed!
