The Book of Good Practices Vol. III: How to Empower Yourself and Influence Others
The Book of Good Practices
The Book of Good Practices is a collection of the most powerful and effective methods, both modern and ancient, for learning the most fundamental and important human abilities, as verified by both traditional use and modern neurological and brain studies.
We have tried to select information that will provide significant skills of use to virtually everyone and of assistance in nearly all activities, such as increased resilience and energy, improved concentration and memory, more happiness, clearer goals, and better communication.
The Book of Good Practices helps provide you the means and methods to change your life as you see fit by using these techniques to help you determine what you want to change, and then create a plan of action to enable that change.
In general, we have tried to avoid jargon derived from specific traditions and attempted to keep historical and background information to a minimum, while striving to provide clear behavioral instructions for developing specific, concrete skills. This is a book about how to do things. We have tried to make it as difficult as possible for you to reject the material in this book out of prejudice against one tradition or another. If we have been successful, you will see that the only way truly to evaluate the practices in this book is to try them for yourself.

About the Authors
Taylor Ellwood is the author of numerous books on the occult, as well as several books on business. Taylor is also the Managing Non-Fiction Editor of Megalithica Books, an imprint of Immanion Press. He first started working with Immanion press in 2004, when they published his first solo book Pop Culture Magick. As the managing non-fiction editor for Immanion Press, Taylor’s vision for the non-fiction line is that Immanion Press publishes edgy, experimental, and controversial books about magic and the occult subculture.
Bill Whitcomb is best known for his books about magical symbolism and practices, The Magician’s Companion (available from Llewellyn Publications) and The Magician’s Reflection (available in a revised and expanded edition from Megalithica Books). He has also written more anomalous texts, such as Selections from the Dream Manual (also available from Megalithica).
