LONDON, ENGLAND, March 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) If you think Navigational Tips for Living in an Imperfect World is just another self-help book you couldn't be more wrong! Written by Charles Bentley PhD & Marian Edmunds, with drawings by the Financial Times cartoonist Roger Beale, its subtitle "We're all right as we are, if only we knew it!" encapsulates its self-liberating message. Right there on the very first page we're told that there 'is no magical goal, no fantasy destination to be reached' - that you don't need help - you're OK as you are!
The book highlights our fascination with and our desire for perfection, whether in us, in others, in our workplace or in our personal lives. It shows how we distort our relationships with people and with events, yearning for a perfection that we cannot hope to achieve. In the very readable form of a conversational dialogue, it delves deep into our human condition to examine the root causes of our present dissatisfactions, fears and anxieties. It suggests that fixed patterns and personality structures laid down in the past prevent us from behaving authentically in the present. As Charles Bentley, the co-author, puts it, "We confine ourselves to lifetime performances in insignificant theatres of activity."
Navigational Tips for Living...certainly doesn't advocate that we should aim for an adversity-free life - indeed, its whole thesis is about how to live personally authentic lives...in an imperfect world. It points out that the problems we experience do not exist in the external world but originate from within ourselves. Yes, of course, it says, we're all right as we are, but in order to accept this very simple fact we need to deconstruct the self-inflicted barriers we have built around our true selves.
We need to let ourselves become free.
The book is now available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle formats. Personal coaching is also available from Charles Bentley at his website Rediscover Yourself.
Charles Bentley's Unitive approach to personal and professional development coaching has evolved as a result of many years experience in the field of human potential. After graduating as a pharmaceutical chemist at the University of London and qualifying as a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, his subsequent research into the mind-changing effects of psychotropic drugs convinced him of the need for a radically different, self-empowering approach by which individuals could learn how to take personal responsibility for change in their lives, rather than be influenced by medication, indoctrination, or other means. He went on to gain an MA and then a PhD in phenomenology and gestalt psychology, working with Dr Jay Stattman, the Director of the Institute of Unitive Psychology at Utrecht, the Netherlands. He has a worldwide coaching clientele that includes media personalities, entrepreneurs and many professionals in the business and corporate world, media and the arts.
Marian Edmunds is a writer, journalist and a past client of Charles Bentley, living in Australia.

npower Announces Simpler Tariffs and End of Complex Two-Tier Rate
2013-03-20
npower has announced it is to simplify all its standard tariffs, bringing to an end the current complex two-tier tariff structure. From 1st May 2013, npower tariffs will have a single rate for each unit of energy used. Customers will also pay a fixed standing charge to cover the cost of bringing gas and electricity to their door.
Ofgem, the energy industry regulator, will be bringing new Licence Conditions into force later in the year which will mean that all energy suppliers' tariffs will have a standing charge.
Paul Massara, Group CEO, RWE npower, said: "At ...
Electrons are not enough: Cuprate superconductors defy convention
2013-03-19
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — To engineers, it's a tale as old as time: Electrical current is carried through materials by flowing electrons. But physicists at the University of Illinois and the University of Pennsylvania found that for copper-containing superconductors, known as cuprates, electrons are not enough to carry the current.
"The story of electrical conduction in metals is told entirely in terms of electrons. The cuprates show that there is something completely new to be understood beyond what electrons are doing," said Philip Phillips, a professor of physics and of chemistry ...
Physicists use 3-D printing to test complex qualities of shapes made via computer
2013-03-19
Prof. Heinrich Jaeger's research group examines materials and phenomena that appear simple at the surface, but which reveal tremendous complexity upon close examination. One such phenomenon is jamming, in which aggregates of randomly placed particles, including spheres or more complicated shapes, or even molecules, transition from fluid-like to solid-like behavior.
Jamming lends itself to soft robotics, in addition to other applications as explored in a workshop at the University of Chicago last October. In recent computer simulations and experiments, Jaeger, the William ...
New nanomedicine resolves inflammation, promotes tissue healing
2013-03-19
NEW YORK, NY (March 18, 2013) —A multicenter team of researchers, including scientists at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has developed biodegradable nanoparticles that are capable of delivering inflammation-resolving drugs to sites of tissue injury. The nanoparticles, which were successfully tested in mice, have potential for the treatment of a wide array of diseases characterized by excessive inflammation, such as atherosclerosis. The study was published ...
Sleep study reveals how the adolescent brain makes the transition to mature thinking
2013-03-19
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) -- new study conducted by monitoring the brain waves of sleeping adolescents has found that remarkable changes occur in the brain as it prunes away neuronal connections and makes the major transition from childhood to adulthood.
"We've provided the first long-term, longitudinal description of developmental changes that take place in the brains of youngsters as they sleep," said Irwin Feinberg, professor emeritus of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and director of the UC Davis Sleep Laboratory. "Our outcome confirms that the brain goes through a ...
Toyota's management practices may improve the quality of hospital care
2013-03-19
PORTLAND, Ore. — Researchers have long surmised that management techniques successful in manufacturing and technology sectors may improve health care quality. However, there has been very little evidence about how these practices are disseminated in hospitals and whether they are associated with better performance.
A new study led by Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) health economist K. John McConnell, Ph.D., reveals manufacturing management practices, including Toyota's "Lean" methodologies, may be beneficial in helping hospitals achieve "high-quality health ...
Gene profile may help identify risk for hormone-sensitive, hormone-insensitive breast cancer
2013-03-19
PHILADELPHIA — The overexpression or underexpression of a newly identified set of genes related to lipid metabolism may help physicians identify whether or not a woman is at risk for hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-negative breast cancer and to subsequently tailor prevention strategies appropriately, according to data published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
"Currently, three drugs can be used to prevent breast cancer in women who are at extremely high risk for the disease," said Seema A. Khan, ...
