Self-help

If you’re like me, you’ve probably read all the books on how to improve your game, including the classics from Phil Capelle. I don’t propose that this book will cover every facet of the game of billiards; Capelle’s books do a great job of that. However, what I will declare is that The YOGA of POOL – Secrets to becoming a Champion in Billiards and in Life will provide you all the essential tools you need to become a great player, while simultaneously helping to make you a better person. The book provides the fundamental ingredients of what makes a great player. The chapters are concise and digestible and not filled with unnecessary fluff. The idea behind the book is to give you an easy-to-understand roadmap to success in the form of short essays describing key elements of the game.I need to point out that the sections dealing with aiming are taken from my other book, World’s Best Aiming System for Billiards. I felt it was necessary to include the same information for the completeness of this book. If you already purchased my other book the World’s Best Aiming System for Billiards, you may skip those sections. In any case, the knowledge contained within this book will certainly expand your understanding of the Three-Cut System and support your development in all other facets of the game. One glaring omission from many books on billiards is a lack of information on the mental and spiritual side of the game, including proven techniques for visualization, mind management, and confidence-building exercises. You’ll find them in this book, and rightly so because to ignore the mind and spirit is akin to ignoring the driver of the vehicle. Every world-class motor racing team knows that a good driver is the difference between success and failure. As the subtitle suggests, this book is much more than the secrets for success in billiards; it is, in a way, a kind of “Covey-like” directive for the billiards enthusiast on what makes one successful in life. You may just come away from reading this book feeling a renewed sense of self-worth and optimism. I hope so. I promise you this: if you apply the following ingredients of success to your game, and in your life, you will experience monumental improvements in every aspect. My hope is that the book will serve to make you the very best player and the person you can possibly be.

Join Paul on a journey of championship billiards and self- discovery as he reveals the essential ingredients of what makes a great pool player and a great human being.

HAVE YOU EVER FELT HOPELESS?
HAVE YOU EVER FELT POWERLESS?
HAVE YOU EVER FELT BELITTLED?

Feelings of mediocrity or failure are all symptoms of false ego -- a false identification with your outer shell, the material body.

SOUL POWER is here to set you free from the illusory shackles created by a mischievous mind. In this book, you will learn the five noble truths to understanding your inherent greatness and how to conquer all feelings of inadequacy.

Part of the challenge of incorporating a positive outlook on life is the need to first reprogram the mind to respond in a way that is beneficial to your desired goal. For too long, we have allowed our minds to be polluted by the selfish desires of corporations and their false advertising. As a result, we now find that corporate marketing messages have become an integral part of language and culture.

You have more power than you may realize!

The first step on the path of self-empowerment is to monitor the activities of our wayward minds. Take the time to observe your instinctive responses to information and the experiences that unfold around you and objectively decide if those responses are desirable or not. More than likely, they are not desirable and probably causing you unnecessary anguish and hardship.

When you make the effort to shut down the false programming inside your mind and any negative influences coming from the outside by repeatedly affirming your soul brilliance through soul affirmations, you will quickly discover just how enslaved you had allowed your true Self to become.

I promise you, the information in this book will transform your life!

SOUL POWER also includes unique affirmation yantras to aid in your meditation, all of which have been mathematically mapped to the most harmonious magic square of the Sun!

Happiness is something we all crave for, whether in food, sex, entertainment, relationships, children, career, hobbies, or sleep. Happiness drives us, and indeed, it defines the quality of our life. One may have immense wealth, but if they are not happy, then mostly they have failed in life. Without happiness, life loses its value. And with a decrease in satisfaction, we are witnessing an increase in suicide all over the world. In a world where mental and physical stimuli are in abundance, it seems inconceivable that anyone could be unhappy. Surely, everyone can find some form of happiness, but alas, many people fail and go through life sad and exasperated or hope against hope for some sliver of joy to miraculously appear over the horizon of their destiny. Happiness is the nature of the spirit. The Vedanta-sutras states, Anandamayo 'bhyst - "The soul is, by nature, full of joy." However, due to misidentifying our true self with matter, we lose touch with this natural blissful state and identify with the pain and suffering of a physical form. The 7 Maxims of Soul Happiness will provide the key to unlock the door to a more blissful life.
