According to popular science, as the cells in the human body constantly die and are replenished, every cell in the body will be replaced with a new one within a seven-year period. After each seven-year period, human beings can literally become a new version of themselves from the inside to the outside. Rani Puranik uses this principle to define her purpose and identity within 7 Letters to My Daughters.

Each seven-year period of life is marked by distinct experiences, perceptions and lessons. From growing up in a country foreign to her family to finding strength during a tumultuous and scarring divorce, to finally understanding a greater purpose and independence in spite of cultural norms, Rani Puranik shares lessons of life, love and leadership in 7 Letters to My Daughters, a roadmap crafted to equip not only her daughters but the daughters of the world. 

Puranik serves as a companion, mentor—and even daughter—for readers seeking to grow through adversity, move forward no matter the circumstance, and define who they are and what they want.  She hopes to guide individuals in the right direction, toward becoming the best version of themselves as a person and establishing a legacy for the next generations to pass life’s tests.

The number one complaint from many companies is, “Our leaders don’t know how to lead!”. Why would they? Most people are promoted because they did one thing really well or outlasted their “addicted to average” co-workers/teammates not because they knew how to lead. Andre Young’s favorite example is, “You sold a million dollars worth of product… You are now the Sales Manager”. They haven’t proved they can manage or lead anyone; they’ve only proven they can sell a million dollars worth of product… their way.

Work/Life Harmony is more important now than it’s ever been. The notion of leaving home at the door before entering work and leaving work at the door when entering home is obsolete. The fact that cell phones are always accessible means significant others, relationships, and outside life now enter work with every employee… ALL DAY. So, when things are bad intimately, parentally, and socially it shows up at work with employees trying to do their job in between responding to ten pages of “Hate Texts”. In contrast, when that same employee returns home, their phone may continue to ring, ding, or chime with work emails, work texts, etc. If they respond, they’ve effectively communicated it’s okay to invade their time. If they don’t, it doesn’t erase the anxiety of not responding or knowing a pile of work is building up. There may not be a true balance between both realms, but 7 Ways to Lead helps leaders find and create harmony between the two.

Family coach, mother and metaphysician, Kat Mulvaney, is no stranger to the emotions children face. She works with families who are seeking more ease and flow in their family dynamic after trying many conventional solutions. Many of her clients’ children do not conform well to traditional school, and in a time of great world change, they are seeking new ideas.

In A Good Day at School, Kat lays out her 5 principles for parents to show them:

In A Life Just Like Mine Dr. Donna D. Kincheloe connects significant life scenes from her childhood, high school, nursing school, and adulthood, to depict events that caused deep pain, while extracting nuggets of meaning and highlighting the positive take-aways along the way. Dr. Donna engages the audience with an open heart to stimulate emotional self-evaluation and thoughtfully showcase God’s abundant grace. 

She shares experiences blended with gems of wisdom, tears of sadness and humor, and subtle scenes of God’s interventions, with powerful transparency. Ultimately, Dr. Donna passes on her realization that the imperfect life God gave her, is the exact life that shaped her into who she is today – a compassionate, empathetic, respectful, God-loving nurse, mother, and wife. A fierce storyteller who uses her own experiences to help others transform their past pain into present peace.

Kristin was in an accident in 2005 that left her in a wheelchair. That same accident changed her life – for the better. A Million Suns is the story of her embracing her disability; navigating the world, both socially and logistically; and trying to make the best of a “bad” situation. A Million Suns recounts Kristin’s effort to embrace her difference and discover a happiness she never, ever expected.

People give up on life when they feel hopeless, disconnected, and lack of purpose. As a Psychiatrist, Dr. Adam Meadows works with people like this every day. Many people today are yearning for connection and validation and are searching for clarity as they navigate life’s challenges. In today’s society, it is easy to feel lost and alone even though there is an abundance of information available. But more than information, people are seeking to feel seen, heard, and understood. A Prescription for Living with Purpose aims to fulfill this charge and provide relief to those who feel stuck and need encouragement. While pain may be inevitable, suffering is optional. Within its pages lies a message that restores hope, provides connection, and reveals a new path toward self-discovery and healing.

Life in America has become fractured—in public and private—across ever-widening fault lines of anger and incivility. 

The intensity of disagreement between Americans threatens the nation’s well-being, presenting itself as disrespectful and distrusting in politics, culture, and conversations. Confusion, frustration, and hatred permeate politics, social media interactions, and cable news. The dysfunction and distrust also appear on the streets and at dinner tables.

There is an urgent need for Americans to come together. But how? Pollsters and political strategists Ed Goeas, Republican, and Celinda Lake, Democrat, have worked together on their groundbreaking joint Battleground Poll for more than thirty years and have a shared stethoscope to the pulse of the American public. In their highly respected and widely quoted Battleground Polls, they ask questions and elicit responses that tell us what people think and feel about the most pressing issues of the day. 

While they often use relevant poll results in this book to illustrate their arguments, A Question of Respect is not about polling—nor does it contain a magic antidote for America's woes. Instead, it’s a political resource that depicts a compelling case for how the nation reached this moment and, more importantly, where it needs to go and what it might take. Though Ed is a Republican and Celinda is a Democrat, they have reached across the great divide to make the case that the only way for America to claw its way out of this mess is through mutual respect. They posit that respect is the foundation upon which we can again trust one another as Americans.

A Widow’s Hope shares a unique story as a young widow with children who shares the raw, relatable ways she dug her way out of the trenches and back to the land of the living. 

There are many books about widowhood and grief. While helpful when the time is right, the shock and the aftermath of such a traumatic experience can make it difficult to find the time and motivation to read them while surviving the daily obstacles that zap your energy. 

Right now, the widow is too busy surviving funeral planning, endless calls and texts from family, tireless efforts to obtain the death certificate, meetings with social security, arrangements to be ironed-out with banks, mortgagors, and debts. Not to mention the practical things, like ensuring the children have been fed, arranging who will take them to school while you deal with the horrible details such as picking out his casket, or helping your children with things only you can help with? 

And then it hits her, “How will I even tell them that their father is dead? They don’t even know what ‘dead’ means!” Just thinking of the unending list of things to be done can leave the widow feeling smothered and breathless. Now is not the time for a novel; now is the time for a survival book, because right now, that’s what the widow is doing—surviving.

"Aaker on Branding" presents in a compact form the twenty essential principles of branding that will lead to the creation of strong brands. Culled from the six David Aaker brand books and related publications, these principles provide the broad understanding of brands, brand strategy, brand portfolios, and brand building that all business, marketing, and brand strategists should know.

"Aaker on Branding" is a source for how you create and maintain strong brands and synergetic brand portfolios. It provides a checklist of strategies, perspectives, tools, and concepts that represents not only what you should know but also what action options should be on the table. When followed, these principles will lead to strong, enduring brands that both support business strategies going forward and create coherent and effective brand families.

Those now interested in and involved with branding are faced with information overload, not only from the Aaker books but from others as well. It is hard to know what to read and which elements to adapt. There are a lot of good ideas out there but also some that are inferior, need updating, or are subject to being misinterpreted and misapplied. And there are some ideas that, while plausible, are simply wrong if not dangerous especially if taken literally.

"Aaker on Branding"offers a sense of topic priorities and a roadmap to David Aaker's books, thinking, and contributions. As it structures the larger literature of the brand field, it also advances the theory of branding and the practice of brand management and, by extension, the practice of business management.

Aaker on Branding distills the most essential branding principles from David Aaker’s extensive works, offering a comprehensive guide to building a strong, enduring brand.

This compact resource provides businesses with actionable insights on brand strategy, brand portfolios, and brand management, addressing key branding challenges and offering a road map to prioritize and apply Aaker’s concepts effectively.

About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today.

Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan’s need to know what’s blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way. This field guide to Dylan's spiritual wisdom aims to make good on the promise that if we look closely enough at his body of work—precisely at a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory—we can open up our eyes to see not only where we really are, but where we need to go.

It’s common for anyone to feel trapped or stuck by their inner commentator, habitual patterns of behavior, and the lessons they’ve learned throughout their lives. Everyone has regrets, with many trying to preserve strained relationships and other difficult parts of their lives. When faced with these hardships, it’s easy for self-worth and confidence to take a nosedive, causing many to wonder where they went wrong and to wish for a “do-over.”

An AC4P culture can be fueled by AC4P Policing, and involves a paradigm shift regarding the role and impact of “consequences." With AC4P Policing, consequences are used to increase the quantity and improve the quality of desired behavior. Police officers are educated about the rationale behind using more positive than negative consequences to manage behavior, and then they are trained on how to deliver positive consequences in ways that help to cultivate interpersonal trust and AC4P behavior among police officers and the citizens they serve.

This teaching/learning process is founded on seven research-based lessons from psychology---the science of human experience. The first three lessons reflect the critical behavior-management fundamentals of positive reinforcement, observational learning, and behavior-based feedback. The subsequent four lessons are derived from humanism, but behaviorism or ABS is essential for bringing these humanistic principles to life. The result: humanistic behaviorism to enhance long-term positive relations between police officers and the citizens they serve, thereby preventing interpersonal conflict, violence, and harm.

It’s hard to imagine love without the pain. Women who live with love addiction are a unique breed having learned to cope in a sex-driven world by finding their worth in sexuality and being wanted. The human need for lasting, meaningful relationships is constantly sabotaged by these women’s own behaviors on top of events outside their control. In Addicted to Love, Lacy A. Bentley—a woman who has been there—introduces her own recovery journey with courageous honesty to guide other women on their paths to recovery. Each chapter focuses on a different trait of emotional health and teaches women to integrate that trait in a workbook-style format. Lacy shows them how to secure their romantic heart, love like they were meant to, and break free from compulsive patterns, while presenting new ways of seeing day-to-day patterns. Every word guides brave women into the relationships they truly want and deserve—without excuses, compulsions, or addiction in the recovery roadmap of the future.

After Party is the story of how one person, Drew Charles, dug his way out of the spiral of drug and alcohol excess. While doing so, he discovered that sobriety is not the impossibly boring state of living so many of us fear but is filled with joy and excitement in ways we can’t predict when we are stuck in the loop of drinking and drug taking. After Party is the honest account of Drew’s first year of sobriety, how he did it, and more importantly, why he did it. Drew’s hope is that anyone who battles with alcohol and drugs, or just feels curious about sobriety, can take solace in knowing that life not only exists beyond alcohol, but that it sings with a clarity and depth of emotion many of us would never have thought possible.

Within every organization is an “ecosystem” of influencers. In organizations with boards of directors and executives, that ecosystem is even more complex, and it is even more important to understand it for the benefit of everyone, including the investors/donors. To date, governance models have provided little to no understanding of this ecosystem of influence, leaving this as an ongoing problem in organizations with the complexity of a board and executive. Governance experts have applied a number of inadequate solutions to a problem they still do not grasp. Within Aligned Influence®, Ken Schuetz presents the Aligned Influence® model which offers a unique perspective to this central problem and a solution that addresses organizational alignment as a necessary prerequisite to effectiveness.

Alligator in the Ocean illustrates one family’s drive to stop a serial predator and overcome the heart-wrenching struggles that followed.

Anina Swan shares the true account of how she survived the brutality of a serial predator, Ivan, unveiled traumatic amnesia, and rallied help to stop his crime spree. With deep-seated courage, Anina did the unthinkable when she confronted her perpetrator. The result eventually delivered Ivan’s confessions of assaulting hundreds of children, according to local news reports. The chaotic aftermath ultimately led to his arrest and how Anina transformed her pain into purpose and adversity into triumph.

In Alligator in the Ocean, Anina creatively weaves scenes from three different perspectives: one of the child victims, herself as a young mother, and the perpetrator through portions of his handwritten letters that he wrote to his wife, Adele, while incarcerated. Anina illustrates how the wounds of crime reach beyond the victim and spread through family and community. She gives a deeply personal account of how she persevered and overcame what seemed impossible. Then how she transformed—through forgiveness sought and found. This poignant story proves that where there is hope, the crippling effects of violence can be overcome and result in a profound desire to live a better life.

Alligator in the Ocean is a unique story based on a collection of Anina’s journals, court documents, slides and photos, newspaper articles, interviews, and the original letters written by Ivan to his wife while incarcerated.

The extraordinary success of Amazon is due to market-leading strength in three “dimensions” of value: owning the mightiest supply chain to deliver fastest and cheapest the broadest range of products, enhancing what customers and business partners are doing when using the website / online ecosystem, and knowing how to implement the optimal terms and conditions in the after-sales customer experience. Wall takes a look at the unique managerial skill of Amazon and how each of these organizational areas operates externally and internally according to a separate business logic based on a dimension of value.

In an original examination, Wall systematically evaluates Amazon by categorizing and connecting its external and internal success factors to dimensions of value. Each “score” on an external success factor is linked to an internal success factor in managing processes, organizational culture, and the business model, so that managers and leaders can enhance their own internal success factors and move towards the same successful external factors. Amazon looks to the future where the near-term promise of the company is evaluated to be in the development from online to omnichannel retail, including the sale of services, by reviving out of Amazon’s past the fourth dimension of value: feeling how to integrate value. The long-term potential of Amazon is set in the context of a sustainable future for retail, based on trends arising today in meaning across multiple communities, which is the emerging fifth dimension of value. Amazon is projected to operate in this value dimension again as a disruptor, and with Wall’s help, managers and leaders can reach for the same kind of success.

America in Therapy presents an unprecedented perspective, envisioning the entire nation as a patient in dire need of therapy. 

In the first book of its kind, Leavitt highlights a crucial missing piece from national political discourse – the declining state of America’s mental health – and emphasizes that addressing our nation’s ills from a psychological perspective takes us beyond partisanship altogether.

Through a blend of personal anecdotes, client case studies, and historical insights, she correlates the destructive dynamics in families with the harmful behaviors of influential institutions and leaders. Using principles like Family Systems Theory and her own innovative concepts, Leavitt paints a vivid picture of the consequences of untreated societal trauma.

America in Therapy not only informs but also inspires actions towards reconciliation, unity, and healing. Aimed at a diverse audience, from social reformers to young adults navigating an uncertain future, Leavitt’s work underscores the urgency of waging peace for the survival of our nation and humanity. It is a clarion call to collectively embark on the challenging journey of national healing before it’s too late.

The country is in chaos. Everywhere you look, it seems America has lost its collective mind. 

This mass formation psychosis has disconnected the public from the truth and each other. Anxiety is a pandemic, and few have little faith in any of our institutions, not knowing what to believe. Our constitutional protections as citizens are under attack. 

The situation we find ourselves in is not a result of a miscalculation but a planned deconstruction of the country by our enemies. This attack has been largely carried out with weapons of misinformation and disinformation from the media, our government, social media, and nongovernmental organizations. 

The citizenry of this country must regain a natural skepticism and question everything, resisting the temptation to trust the government to do everything for us. We must restore our mental autonomy and ability to think for ourselves instead of being told what to think. 

America’s Systemic Psychosis provides the diagnosis of our problem, explains how the current psychosis and disconnect from the truth has come to pass, and the steps we all need to take to get our minds back, finding sanity and stability once again.
