“Brilliant and a must read for introverts and extroverts alike who have a desire to strengthen their relationship!” ―Bill Zajac, author UNBeatable Marriage

#1 New Release in Emotional Self-Help

The Quiet Rise of Introverts is a book for anyone who is seeking to resolve the need for quietude in a relationship and also for those who are looking for love.

More and more people are identifying as introverts. Introverts make up 50% of the world’s population, and studies show that at least one-third of the people we encounter in our lives are introverts. The Quiet Rise of Introverts: 8 Practices for Loving and Living in a Noisy World is a guide to help tenderhearted and introverted individuals grow and nurture their peace, purpose, and relationships.

Introverts and sensitivity. Author, speaker, and life coach Brenda Knowles presents 8 unique practices to help readers learn that they are not alone or flawed in their sensitivity and introversion. Certified as a Myers-Briggs practitioner, she has been writing and guiding introverts for many years in space2live and has provided training as a family mediator.

The intention of this book is not to turn introverts into extroverts. The 8 practices in this book serve as action steps to help you move past the anxiety and stress of living an ill-fitting extroverted life to the secure and fulfilling state of authenticity and deep connection with others.

Read The Quiet Rise of Introverts and find:

• A calmer sense of self
• A deeper understanding of mental and physical self-care
• An embracing of positive conflict
• Growth in responsiveness
• The secret to healing every day

Don’t Just Feel Good—Do Good & Feel Great

Readers of The Happiness Project, The Power of Moments and I Hear You won’t want to miss Hug Therapy.

The science behind hugging. Dr. Stone’s prescription is for a 21-second hug today and every day. One of the many benefits of hugging is that longer hugs have proven physiological benefits. Hugs are good for your immune system, your stress response, your sleep patterns, and so much more.

Hug Therapy brings to life the meaning of hugging. In this book, you will discover:

• What it means to really, truly give yourself and others the profound gift of a hug
• How to be powerfully in action and more aware of what matters to you most
• That you may choose to begin hugging some strangers…with their blessing of course
• And perhaps most importantly, that together, one literal or metaphorical hug at a time, we make the world a better, healthier, and more connected place.

Embrace life. Hug Therapy shares a full-on, unconditional hug from Dr. Stone Kraushaar. In this book, he invites you to wrap your arms around yourself, your life, and everyone around you in a whole new way. A good embrace—a hug—squeezes every ounce of fear, worry, and negativity out of your spirit, leaving you with nothing but warmth, inner peace, and a feeling of connection.

Give a hug, get a hug. Most people have difficulty remembering the last time someone gave them an all-encompassing hug. Hug Therapy encourages you to change that, one physical or metaphorical embrace at a time. It’s a “do good and feel great” book that will help you live more in the moment and stay tuned into what really matters.

Expert advice from a world-class hugger. Dr. Stone Kraushaar is a clinical psychologist known as The Hug Doctor™. Also the founder of Hug Therapy™, he warmly invites you to jump into the 21-Day Hugging Journey™ and transform your life.

Read Out Loud to Your Child!

"Reading aloud to your child from birth is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give. This book will tell you why and what you can do to develop a lifelong love of books and reading with your child." —Jeff Conyers, president of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and The Dollywood Foundation

Reading aloud is the essential tool for preparing your child for kindergarten and beyond

The single most important thing you can do for your child. Longtime elementary school teacher Kim Jocelyn Dickson believes every child begins kindergarten with a lunchbox in one hand and an “invisible toolbox” in the other. In The Invisible Toolbox, Kim shares with parents the single most important thing they can do to foster their child’s future learning potential and nurture the parent-child bond that is the foundation for a child’s motivation to learn. She is convinced that the simple act of reading aloud has a far-reaching impact that few of us fully understand and that our recent, nearly universal saturation in technology has further clouded its importance.

Essential book for parents. In The Invisible Toolbox, Kim weaves her practical anecdotal experience as an educator and parent into the hard research of recent findings in neuroscience. She reminds us that the first years of life are critical in the formation and receptivity of the primary predictor of success in school―language skills―and that infants begin learning immediately at birth. She also teaches and inspires us to build our own toolboxes so that we can help our children build theirs.

Inside discover:

• Ten priceless tools for your child’s toolbox
• Practical tips for how and what to read aloud to children through their developmental stages
• Dos and don’ts and recommended resources that round out all the practical tools a parent needs to prepare their child for kindergarten and beyond

If you enjoyed books like Honey for a Child's Heart, The Read-Aloud Handbook, Screenwise, or The Enchanted Hour; you will love The Invisible Toolbox―from a 21st century Charlotte Mason.

Fear in Contemporary Society and its Consequences

“A delightfully fearless and deeply sensitive examination of that most primal and formative human experience.”  ―Alan Burdick, author of Why Time Flies: A Mostly Scientific Investigation

#1 New Release in Evolutionary Psychology and Buddhism

For anyone suffering from global pandemic anxiety caused by the new coronavirus, comes an exploration of one of the most powerful and primitive human emotions.

A history and culture of fear. Over the last five hundred years, life for the average human being has changed dramatically―plagues no longer routinely wipe out entire families, and we no longer empty our chamber pots into the street. But, progress has shown that no matter how many dangers we neutralize, new ones emerge. Why? Because our level of fear remains constant.

Fear in contemporary society. For years, Dr. Frank Faranda studied a state of fearfulness in his patients―an evolutionary state that relentlessly drove them toward avoidance, alienation, hypercriticism, hyper-control, and eventually, depression and anxiety. He began to wonder what they were afraid of, and how embedded these fears might be in contemporary society. This book aims to break us free from what he found.

Fear not. Faranda’s Fear Paradox is simple―even though fear has a prime directive to keep us safe and comfortable, it has grown into the single greatest threat to humanity and collective survival. As a consequence, fear is embedded in our culture, creating new dangers and inciting isolation. With rising anxiety levels, now is the time to shine a light on our deepest fears and examine the society that fear is creating.

But fear not―inside, you’ll learn about:

• The fear of pain and the fear of the unknown
• How fear has driven progress in the West
• The price paid to eradicate fear

Read books like Fear, The Culture of Fear, or The Science of Fear? Then The Fear Paradox is your next read. Come on, what are you afraid of?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Relief

“This book is filled with solid, practical advice to defeat anxiety, based on scientifically backed techniques and years of clinical experience.” ―Helen Odessky, PsyD, author of Stop Anxiety from Stopping You

Many of the available resources for managing anxiety are based on opinion rather than science. Dr. Craig April, founder of The April Center for Anxiety Attack Management, relies on the latter. By employing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), he helps readers overcome fear for the anxiety relief they desire.

Stop being anxious for nothing. Assuming the role of victim when it comes to anxiety can make us feel trapped and convince us that we have no control in getting better. However, Dr. April has found that in most of its forms, anxiety is not a mental health disorder. In fact, anxiety relief begins by facing our fears. Using a stripped-down, no-nonsense approach to anxiety, Dr. April takes CBT techniques and tackles anxiety at the root: false fear messages.

Dare to overcome fear. Fear is a factor in all lives, whether we feel it plays a significant role in controlling us or not. Lucky for us, it is also something that can be faced. By recognizing anxiety as a result of false fear messages, we become better equipped to manage it. An expert in  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety relief, Dr. April uses over twenty years of experience to help readers face their fears and overcome their anxiety.

In this indispensable book on anxiety relief for adults, you’ll discover:

• Effective anti-anxiety methods used at The April Center for Anxiety Attack Management
• A non-victim approach to help you take back control and reclaim your life
• Tips and practical tools to overcome fear

If you enjoyed anxiety books like Feeling Good (David Burns), The End of Mental Illness (Daniel Amen), Anxious for Nothing (Max Lucado), or works by Louise Hay, then you’ll love The Anxiety Getaway.

A Science-Based, Whole-Body Approach to Feeling Good

#1 Bestseller in Holistic Alternative Medicine

A resource to help you overcome the struggle of emotional eating, realize your self-worth, and live the life you deserve.

An Alternative Approach to Addressing ADD

Despite the millions of people taking medication for attention deficit disorders, there remains no objective method of diagnosis for ADHD. In The ADD Myth, Martha Burge proposes a different understanding and solution for those diagnosed.

ADD isn’t what we think it is. Author and ADHD coach Martha Burge introduces a different way of looking at the disorder often associated with boredom and impulsivity in young people. She argues that what is commonly understood as ADHD is actually five intense personality traits: sensual, psychomotor, intellectual, creative, and emotional. Once the supposed ADD symptoms are properly understood for what they are, people with these intense personality traits can develop them into gifts.

Finding an alternative solution. After having two sons diagnosed with ADHD, and witnessing their serious reaction to drug treatments, Martha began a search for a different approach and a more natural treatment for ADHD. By looking at all personalities as part of the neurodiversity spectrum, she shows us how we can see where those with “intense” personality traits fit on the spectrum. Once we understand that, we are better able to help people embrace their traits and develop one’s intense nature rather than try to stifle it.

This book will change the way you look at ADD for the better—open it up and learn more about:

• The five intense personality traits and how they apply to individuals diagnosed with ADHD
• Why the medical profession should seek alternative explanations for ADHD
• Stories, practical steps, and daily practices for developing one's intense nature with the least amount of suffering

Readers of books such as Driven to Distraction, Healing ADD, Delivered from Distraction, or ADHD: Non-Medication Treatments and Skills for Children and Teens will enjoy The ADD Myth.

Retrain Your Brain and Take Your Life Back from Phobias

“Mathew not only delivers assurance to those suffering from panic attacks and agoraphobia but provides a way through difficult situations." ―Deborah Bigelow, Library Journal 

Hal Mathew knows what it’s like to suffer from phobias. For 30 years of his life, he could not leave his home without his phobias overwhelming him. But now, he’s sharing with us how he took control of his thinking, found stress and anxiety relief, and overcame his phobias.

You are not alone. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that nearly 1.5% of the U.S. population suffers from agoraphobia at some point in their lifetime. That's 4.5 million people. No matter how alone your phobias may make you feel, there are others out there who understand and who can help. Hal Mathew is one such individual. After three decades of fearing fear, Mathew pieced together a plan for overcoming anxiety and his phobias and resuming a regular life. And it worked.

Retrain your brain, reset your life. Recent neuroscience research shows us that the brain is retrainable―at any age. With this information in mind, Mathew reveals a new way of thinking that allows those who suffer from phobias to take control of their lives. His self-designed phobia treatment, based on neuroscience research, freed him―and he knows it can do the same for others.

A Bipolar Guide from a Bipolar Person

Welcome to the Jungle has a greater focus on bipolar people, not the diagnosis: the ways in which each person can find his or her own way through the extreme emotional states and intense experiences that we are calling “bipolar”—whether that means medication or meditation, psychiatrists or vision quests, good sleep or good all-night dancing, or a little bit of everything.

An honest, relatable book that can help you figure out how to live your life with bipolar disorder. Many bipolar books are too clinical, too alarmist, and too clearly written for family members and caretakers of people diagnosed with this mood disorder. Welcome to the Jungle is different. Author Hilary Smith wrote this guide because it is the book she wishes she'd been given when she was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It answers questions, points to resources, and most of all, comes from someone who understands what it’s like to be thrown off course by an overwhelming mental health issue—and what to do afterwards.

Know that you are not alone—and that many paths can lead to healing. Just like for everyone else, there are many, many paths that bipolar people can take in life. Learn more about how to live your own life with a mental illness using the help of the insights in Welcome to the Jungle, which covers topics such as:

• Wrapping your head around triggers, causes of mood swings, medications, and therapists
• Recovering from mental breakdowns, manic moments, and major depressive episodes
• Living your life beyond the diagnosis—and helping your family to do the same

Readers of bipolar mental health books like The Bipolar Workbook, Rock Steady, or OMG That's Me! will love the devastatingly on-target, honest insights offered in Welcome to the Jungle.

IQ A Smart History of a Failed Idea

"An up-to-date, reader-friendly account of the continuing saga of the mismeasure of women and men."
—Howard Gardner, author of Frames of Mind and Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons

"The good news is that you won't be tested after you've read Stephen Murdoch's important new book. The better news is that IQ: A Smart History of a Failed Idea is compelling from its first pages, and by its conclusion, Murdoch has deftly demonstrated that in our zeal to quantify intelligence, we have needlessly scarred—if not destroyed—the lives of millions of people who did not need an IQ score to prove their worth in the world. IQ is first-rate narrative journalism, a book that I hope leads to necessary change."
—Russell Martin, author of Beethoven's Hair, Picasso's War, and Out of Silence

"With fast-paced storytelling, freelance journalist Murdoch traces now ubiquitous but still controversial attempts to measure intelligence to its origins in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. . . . Murdoch concludes that IQ testing provides neither a reliable nor a helpful tool in understanding people's behavior, nor can it predict their future success or failure. . . . A thoughtful overview and a welcome reminder of the dangers of relying on such standardized tests."
—Publishers Weekly

"Stephen Murdoch delivers a lucid and engaging chronicle of the ubiquitous and sometimes insidious use of IQ tests. This is a fresh look at a century-old and still controversial idea—that our human potential can be distilled down to a single test score. Murdoch's compelling account demands a reexamination of our mania for mental measurement."
—Paul A. Lombardo, author of Three Generations, No Imbeciles: Eugenics, the Supreme Court & Buck v. Bell

Critical acclaim for Lawrence Wright's

A Rhone-Poulenc Science Prize Finalist

"This is a book about far more than twins: it is about what twins can tell us about ourselves."—The New York Times

"With plenty of amazing stories about the similarities and differences of twins, Wright respectfully shows, too, how their special circumstance in life challenges our notions of individuality. A truly fascinating but sometimes spooky (Mengele's experiments with twins at Auschwitz figure among Wright's examples) study."—American Library Association

"Like so much of Wright's work, this book is a pleasure to read. Because he writes so well, without pushing a particular point of view, he soon has you pondering questions you have tended to comfortably ignore."—Austin American-Statesman

"Informative and entertaining . . . a provocative subject well considered by a talented journalist."—Kirkus Reviews

Every year, 1 in every 100 children in America are diagnosed with autism. Although autism has reached epidemic proportions, it is far from understood. In 41 Things To Know About Autism, Chantal Sicile-Kira provides a clear, instructive explanation of autism.

• What are the emotional effects of autism on the family? 
• Why do children and teens with autism act the way they do?

All-New Edition of the Ground-Breaking Book on the Effects of Trauma on Children

Children are traumatized every day by personal life crises and events around them. Parental separation, violence or abuse in the home, the death of a loved one, seeing a shooting at school or on the news —  all of these, if not properly handled, can affect a child’s development, health, school performance, family interactions and self-esteem.  Trauma in the Lives of Children uses up-to-date research and practical examples to explain how children react to specific types of trauma. It shows what schools, therapists, EMTs and families can do — and must do — to help traumatized children regain a sense of security and hope.

An Interdisciplinary, Solution-Based Approach That Bridges the Gap between Clinic and School

This revised and expanded edition covers many changes in the field that have taken place in the last few years, including:

• the DSM-IV’s new category for posttraumatic stress
• “false memory syndrome” and the recent advances in psychoneurology 
• widespread acceptance of EMDR as a posttrauma treatment modality
• new understanding of and approaches to professional self-care
• the nationwide movement toward School Crisis Response Teams
• the latest techniques of trauma prevention that can help schools and families prepare for crises

Sociopaths make up an alarming 1–4 percent of the population and can be found in all areas of life: family, work, school, the community—even churches, temples and mosques. Unable to relate to the feelings of others, they repeatedly exploit their victims, leaving deep emotional and psychological scars.

Yet sociopaths look normal, are very skilled at lying and often go unnoticed. Like stealth missiles, they zero in on victims, wreck their lives and leave without remorse or consequence. 

The Sociopath at the Breakfast Table teaches readers how to identify everyday sociopaths and take steps to protect themselves. Authors Dr. Jane McGregor and Tim McGregor also explain that, while generous or empathetic people often make ideal victims, their empathy may sometimes become an antidote to sociopathic abuse. Included in this fascinating new work are

• a full profile of common sociopathic traits and real-life stories of sociopathic abuse
• an Empathy Quotient Quiz that readers can use to measure their own empathy levels
  
• a helpful new theory of sociopathic interaction, the “Sociopath-Empath-Apath Triad”  

The authors provide step-by-step techniques for dealing with the anger and guilt that often follows a manipulative encounter or relationship. With this knowledge, readers can spot a sociopath’s traps and avoid them, protecting themselves — and those they love — from the monster who just might be smiling at them from across the breakfast table. 

The first edition of Female Ejaculation and the G-Spot was meant to raise awareness about the phenomenon of female ejaculation and resurrect a now lost wonder, as well as the mystery surrounding this aspect of female sexuality. It empowered women who already ejaculated and taught women who wanted to. The second edition of the book promises to do even more through its mindful approach to awakening the sensations of the G-spot, and in offering a gentler and safer method that Deborah developed to enable a woman to have more control over her ability to ejaculate.

The revision also includes more testimonials from workshop participants, an interview with a sexual healer, and an expanded list of outside references, resources, product makers, and tantra teachers. Sundahl summarizes and explains new information that has come to light regarding the G-spot, paying special attention to the renamed and researched PC muscles, and new “find, see, and feel” techniques for ejaculating with a partner. She has also added new information to her section on men’s role in female ejaculation, updating findings on men’s sexual tastes. Finally, this edition includes new illustrations and links to online video clips. With its new features meant to enhance Sundahl’s original empowering and healing message regarding female sexuality, the second edition of Female Ejaculation and the G-Spot helps readers appreciate the wonders and healing potential of female ejaculation.
