Sunday, January 23, 1 p.m. Meet the Author Amanda Owen: The Power of Receiving: A Revolutionary Approach to Giving Yourself the Life You Want and Deserve

From an early age, we're taught about the importance of giving; we learn that a 'good person' is someone who gives to others and places the needs of others

Amanda Owen

before one's own. What we're not taught, however, is how important it is to learn to receive. Too often, we are reluctant to embrace philosophies and behaviors that put our needs above, or even equal to, those of others for fear of being viewed as selfish.

Amanda Owen, popular www.Astrology.com columnist and founder of the transformative Receive and Manifest seminars, has set out to fix this imbalance. In THE POWER OF RECEIVING: A Revolutionary Approach to Giving Yourself the Life You Want and Deserve, she presents a new paradigm for the 21st century, drawing from such wide-ranging inspirations as Eastern and Buddhist philosophies, quantum theory, and plain, old-fashioned common sense, THE POWER OF RECEIVING utilizes a simple formula: Believe + Receive = Achieve, to teach us how to open ourselves to life's gifts, big and small.
