Self-help, or self-improvement, is a self-guided improvement [1]—economically, intellectually, or emotionally—often with a substantial psychological basis. There are many different self-help movements and each one has its own unique focus, techniques, associated beliefs, proponents and in some cases leaders. Self-help often takes place on the basis of publicly available information or of support groups where people in similar situations join together.[1] From early exemplars in self-driven legal practice[2] and home-spun advice, the connotations of the phrase have spread and often apply particularly to education, business, psychological or psychotherapeutic nostrums, purveyed through the popular genre of self-help books. According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, potential benefits of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship, emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity, meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.[1] Groups associated with health conditions may consist of patients and/or their care givers. As well as featuring long-time members sharing experiences, these health groups can become lobby groups and clearing-houses for educational material. Those who help themselves by learning about health problems do exemplify self-help, while one might better regard such groups as peer-to-peer support. The authors of the 1994 book First Things First invoke wisdom literature dating back as far as 2500 B.C. as a validation of their particular enumeration of fundamental human needs[3]. Within classical antiquity, some[who?] have seen the advice poetry of Hesiod, particularly his Works and Days, as an early adaptation of Near Eastern wisdom literature. The Stoics offered advice with a psychological flavor.[citation needed] The genre of mirror-of-princes writings, which has a long history in Islamic and Western Renaissance literature, represents a secular cognate of Biblical wisdom literature. Proverbs from many periods, collected and uncollected, embody traditional moral and practical advice of diverse cultures.

2. Catholic employers balk at mandate to cover prescription contraceptives
November 20, 2009
A state law that soon will require commercially available health insurance plans to cover prescription contraceptives has several religious employers scrambling to change their coverage for moral reasons.
St. Mary's Hospital in Madison and the Madison Catholic Diocese are among employers who say they will switch from commercial health plans to being self-insured so their premiums do not help fund an insurance benefit they oppose on religious grounds. Self-insured policies are exempt from the mandate.

22. What is Abundance?
November 19, 2009
I remember my mom talking when I was a little girl. She’d say things like, “I wish I had _____, but I know it’s too expensive for me to ever afford!” or “I could never spend that much on myself!” I remember thinking how strange that was that she would buy my brother or me a big gift, but didn’t think buying something for herself was appropriate. When my father would bring her home a gift she’d have a hard time accepting it. It’s odd how we respond to the good things coming into our world. I’m convinced that many of us don’t have what we want right now because we’re not thinking with an abund... (read more)

23. Introduction to the Law of Attraction
November 19, 2009
Everything is energy. Everything vibrates. That may sound strange, but think about it for a minute. We are accustomed to looking at things and people as having a solid form. A desk is solid. A car is solid. By the movement we can see the visible expression of energy. If you look a little deeper, however you realize that everything is built up by molecules— molecules by atoms, then atoms are made of protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons are positive loaded and electrons are negative loaded. Between them there is an innate attraction. The protons with the neutrons give mass to the atom and fo... (read more)
