Dr. Steve Maraboli

Don't miss this penetrating show as Steve is joined by Paul Rademacher, author of "A Spiritual Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe". Paul's work is perfect for listeners who feel that their religious tradition no longer satisfy their spiritual needs. His book is an elegantly written memoir and meditation that explores the many paths of enlightenment available to readers looking beyond today’s churches, temples, and synagogues. Author Paul Rademacher, a former minister, found that too often church focused too much on eternity—what happens when we die. In this interview, he will explain that the rightful focus of any true spiritual path is on infinity—how to experience eternity, the fullness of our divinity, in the here and now.

Part 7 of our popular series with "Celestine Prophecy" author James Redfield. During this series Steve and James discuss each of the previous Celestine Insights as they count down to the highly anticipated release of the new book, "The 12th Insight". This week they discuss: THE SEVENTH INSIGHT . . . ENGAGING THE FLOW Knowing our personal mission further enhances the flow of mysterious coincidences as we are guided toward our destinies. First we have a question; then dreams, daydreams, and intuitions lead us towards the answers, which usually are synchronistically provided by the wisdom of another human being.

Steve welcomes artist and author Mary Anne Radmacher for a fun and lively discussion about her new book, "May Your Walls Know Joy". Her previous books, Live Boldly and Lean Forward into Your Life, share stories and strategies for savoring every morsel of this life and living up to our fullest potential and beyond our wildest dreams. In May Your Walls Know Joy, Radmacher returns to her signature style, combining a few poetic, aphoristic words with beautifully constructed four-color art. This book is a celebration of home and family and all that they mean—a refuge from the world, a creative incubator, where lives are lived and friends are welcome.

Steve is joined by Dr. Mardi Horowitz for an informative conversation about contentment. Dr. Horowitz will talk about his new book, "A Course in Happiness". A three-part course in one of the most vital subjects known to man: how to be happy. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands . . .The simple lyrics of this nursery-school song tune small children in to the important life skill of recognizing and acknowledging good feelings within themselves. For adults, getting in touch with a sense of happiness is rarely so simple. It seems what so many of us need is an education on the subject . . . a virtual Course in Happiness. In this book, Mardi Horowitz draws on more than forty years of experience as a psychiatrist to provide readers with just this. According to Dr. Horowitz, in order to identify the root causes of our discontent, it is necessary to consider all the experiences, memories, and emotions that constitute selfhood, the true "I" in each of us. A Course in Happiness guides readers through a strenuous but deeply rewarding education in mastering the three essential life skills that underlie the achievement of this level of self-understanding:

Steve is joined by author Russill Paul about his new book, "Jesus in the Lotus". This is a book about healing the gap and the prejudices between Yoga and Christianity, particularly in America and in the western world, by encouraging a mutual appreciation of each other’s best aspects, while at the same time honoring the differences in each of their emphases that could serve to challenge the other to evolve. The book, through its cross cultural and interspiritual dialog, seeks to bring about unity between people of different faiths and cultures at a much-needed time in our history when the lack of interspiritual understanding threatens world peace and stability. Without seeking to emphasize the supremacy of any particular tradition, the book offers a platform for mutual appreciation of dialogue using my personal spiritual journey as a reference.

Sonia Choquette comes back to Empowered Living to speak with Steve about learning to love yourself and live your spirit. In this lively conversation, Sonia will teach us how to reconnect to our divine spark, embrace the treasures within us, and experience our own personal truth. As we learn to love ourself and live our spirit, obstacles give way to openings, struggle turns to support, and we begin to taste the genuine success we have desired for so very long.

Author Lauren Mackler joins Steve for a penetrating conversation about her new book, "Solemate: Master the Art of Aloneness & Transform Your Life". Many people spend years waiting for an ideal partner—a "soul mate" to make them feel happy and complete. Others settle for unfulfilling relationships out of a deep–seated fear of being alone. In Solemate, Lauren Mackler provides a groundbreaking road map for achieving mastery of your own life so you can experience a sense of wholeness and well-being whether you're on your own or in a relationship. It's about becoming the person you were meant to be, treating yourself well, and shedding the old beliefs and behaviors that limit your ability to realize your greatest potential.

Steve welcomes best-selling author Sandra Magsamen for an inspiring conversation about her book "Living Artfully". Living Artfully is expressing who you are and connecting with others in inventive new ways, through caring gestures -- an unusual, encouraging card, some homemade treats, a shared cup of tea, an uplifting song emailed during a difficult day. Living Artfully explains how you can create your own messages from the heart to celebrate the people, places, and moments that make your life truly meaningful by using everyday things -- a note in a lunchbox or suitcase, a scrapbook of a trip, a favorite comfort food made on the spur of the moment. This beautifully illustrated, transformative book shares the inspiring stories of people who pursued their own creative impulses or their desires to connect with others and were rewarded with unexpected, delightful results. Here are their secrets, which you can adapt to your own aims and means, people and preferences. Living Artfully also presents ten principles of creative thinking that lead you on an exciting journey of self-discovery. You'll learn to dream big, believe in yourself, and make each day count. Each chapter is filled with practical, fun ideas, from decorative touches (an empty wine bottle can be a unique picture frame) to simple ways to make one-of-a-kind gifts (quotes for hilarious birthday cards) and celebrations your loved ones will never forget (a surprise baby shower in which everyone participates; an anniversary filled with sweetness). Sandra's multitude of appealing ideas and her beautiful artwork will jumpstart your own creativity and invigorate forgotten talents so that you can create the life of joy and beauty that you want -- for yourself and others.

Steve is joined by best-selling author Dr. John Demartini for a powerful discussion about adapting to change. Many of us work hard to provide a greater quality of life for ourselves and family. As we face the current economic, social and political challenges, we may find ourselves with elevated feelings of anxiety and stress, unable to break through and manage our emotions in these changing times. Stress is defined as the inability to adapt to a changing environment. At high levels of stress we begin to lose our vitality, our clarity of vision and our feelings of purpose for living. Steve Maraboli's guest, Dr John Demartini, will address perceptions of stress as it relates to our current personal and economic issues. He will inspire and introduce new ideas that assist you in discovering new ways to deal with stress. He will show you how to manage your emotions, allowing you to stay focused on your goals and dreams whatever the outer challenges may be. He will teach you how to break through the fears and anxieties that may be clouding your vision, bringing an increase in vitality and clarity to your life, your work and your relationships.

Steve is joined by author Rex Weyler for an interesting and informative discussion about the authentic Jesus and his words. Rex will talk about his research and findings written in his new book, "The Jesus Sayings"... The voice of Jesus survived decades of oral transmission before written records appeared, and then centuries of revision thereafter. Jesus wrote nothing and spoke in Aramaic. The gospel authors composed in Greek, and some forty years elapsed between the execution of Jesus and the first written narrative accounts. The earliest surviving complete manuscripts of the popular gospels appear three centuries later. Scholars presume that versions of the gospels appeared earlier than the surviving manuscripts, but we possess no originals and hundreds of variant copies. We might wonder then: How accurately did the message of Jesus survive decades of spoken discourse and centuries of revision? Do Not Miss This Show!

Steve is joined by best-selling author Karen Casey to talk about her book, "All We Have Is All We Need". The book combines essays with nearly 400 simple suggestions for clearing the clutter from our minds so that we are able to live peaceful, hopefilled and helpful lives. It's Karen's contention that we are constant examples to others and choosing to be kind, loving and forgiving examples is as close as our next thought. Perhaps this sounds beyond your capacity at this time but making a tiny decision for an even tinier change in behavior will reap huge benefits.
