Böcker av Ian Lawton

To the newcomer PRINCE2 can represent a bewildering array of jargon. Terms like 'integrated elements', 'principles', 'practices', 'processes' and 'management or specialist products' can easily overwhelm the most eager of students on first exposure. Understanding what these terms mean in simple language and, even more important, how all these elements of PRINCE2 fit together, is the major hurdle that needs to be overcome if the many benefits of the method are to be unlocked. IAN LAWTON is a former chartered accountant, sales executive, business consultant and IT project manager. Since 2008 he has trained more than 2500 delegates on PRINCE2 courses. He has worked for some of the market leaders in training provision such as Parity and QA, and understands how to make the method accessible to newcomers.

Have you had enough of gurus with perfect lives?Do you want to read about someone who doesn't always get it right? Someone who struggles with life sometimes, like all normal people?Yet someone who still insists that every single one of us is a 'creator god' with unlimited power to fashion the experience we have on Earth?From conventional beginnings as an Economics student and accountant with an inherited passion for racing bikes and cars, the author has since found himself morphing into a number of quite unexpected roles. From pyramid explorer, through researcher of ancient history, to spiritual philosopher with multiple books to his name - with a focus on evidence and rationality rather than faith and belief. Alongside all this he started off having it all, fell into victimhood during a long, dark night of the soul, then finally learned to take complete responsibility for his experience.This is his unconventional, topsy-turvy life presented in full, warts-and-all. Despite reaching the understanding that each of us is a creator god who can fashion our life to be whatever we want, he still manages to royally screw up in some areas of his life. Why? Because using the 'law of attraction' to consciously create outcomes we desire can be hard - and anyone who pretends otherwise is fooling themselves and others.The problem is that much of what we experience is dictated by our subconscious thoughts, beliefs, conditioning, expectations and so on, and these often exert a far greater influence than our conscious mind. So all we can do is try to maximise the extent to which we're creating consciously rather than unconsciously... and honour ourselves for doing our best.

Do you want to know what it's really like to die?Would you like a state-of-the-art guide to the afterlife?Thanks to a variety of modern sources, now you can prepare yourself…with the most reliable information that's ever been available.For millennia various prophets, gurus, visionaries and mystics have given us descriptions of what happens after death. Their tales of assorted heavens and hells have inspired and terrified in equal measure. But their use of symbolism and archaic language can be baffling. What is more the reliability of their accounts is questionable.The good news is that now we have a variety of more modern sources. For example, ordinary people who have passed over and 'channelled' reports of their experiences via human mediums. Increasingly too we are hearing from those who have visited the afterlife planes when 'near death'. Perhaps even more important are the pioneering 'out-of-body' explorers who have learned to repeatedly and deliberately expand their consciousness so as to experience other planes of reality. The reports are remarkably consistent, both within and across each source of information.Now they can all be brought together to produce a simple, up-to-date guide to an afterlife we'll all experience sooner or later. One that contains myriad possibilities. These range from various heavens created by the collective human expectations of different religious groups, to personal hells where misguided souls insist on punishing themselves. To those involved these experiences appear just as real as earthly life, yet all represent varying degrees of illusion.Most of us enter the afterlife in ignorance. But if you're ready to take advantage of modern discoveries, this guide will dispel the illusions and free your soul to expand into realms previously attained only by the few. Realms of supreme lucidity, awareness, unity… and, above all, love.

Have you ever felt like you're not in control?That you're a victim of circumstance, or of your partner or family or boss?But what if you're actually in complete controlas you create your reality afresh in each new 'moment of now'?All the modern evidence – from the world of sport, through out-of-body exploration and channelled messages from wise entities, to modern scientific research – suggests the primacy of the 'law of attraction'. That is, we create our experience, both good and bad, via our beliefs, conditioning, thoughts and intentions. So at least theoretically we can 'consciously create' any outcomes we desire. Think of top sportspeople employing psychologists to help them stay 'in the moment' and visualise winning.But we also attract less desirable experiences into our lives. Not because God is vengeful, or because random chance just deals us a bad hand sometimes, or because we're victims at the mercy of others, or even because of bad karma from our past lives. But because of negative or limiting beliefs stored mainly in our subconscious that are often at odds with our conscious desires. Think of the person with low self-esteem who constantly attracts abusive partners.The majority of the best-known sources of channelled wisdom insist it's time for us to take complete responsibility for, and control of, our lives. To remember that we create everything we experience at some level of our consciousness. They include Seth, Abraham, Walsch's 'God', Ramtha, Elias, Bashar, Jeshua and the Pathwork Guide. The trick then is to recognise we're responsible for attracting the entirety of our life experience, both good and bad, and to maximise the extent to which we create consciously rather than unconsciously.This understanding is arguably what the current 'consciousness shift' is all about. But it's also about reclaiming our birthright as the human race. Because as the 'creator gods' talked of in myth and legend down the ages, we're more powerful than we've ever dared to imagine.

Our oldest texts and religious writings - from the Bible to the Vedic scripts - all speak of a golden age when our earliest forebears dwelt in utopian bliss before losing their way and suffering annihilation in a worldwide catastrophe.
