Self-Help

For readers navigating grief, spiritual seekers questioning the nature of love and the afterlife, or anyone who’s ever whispered I miss you into the void—this book will speak to you.

When Kathryn Henry lost her wife Lisa to a rare, aggressive cancer, she was thrust into a profound sense of loss that threatened to consume her. What followed was not simply mourning, it was spiritual reckoning. A Dime to Say I Love You is a searingly honest memoir of love and loss, and a shared journey of spiritual excavation and growth. With unflinching vulnerability and hard-won clarity, Henry invites readers into the sacred space of their journey—and the unexpected transformation that came along the way.

This is not your typical memoir. Grounded in the raw reality of terminal illness and deeply personal moments of love and caring, Henry writes with a voice forged by trauma, resilience, and deep spiritual inquiry. The story unfolds against a backdrop of shared adventures, from renovating homes to hiking in Japan, where even the smallest discoveries became reminders of Lisa's enduring presence. Along the way, dimes appear—small silver tokens that become metaphysical breadcrumbs, pointing the way toward connection beyond death.

A Dime to Say I Love You is a moving testament to the enduring power of love and a reminder that even in the darkness of grief, light can be found. It is a book for anyone seeking comfort, inspiration, or a deeper connection to their own journey.

Blending memoir with meditative practice, Henry’s story is both intimate and expansive. Each chapter includes introspective prompts that invite the reader to reflect, breathe, and listen to their own inner wisdom.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, Joan Didion, and Thich Nhat Hanh, A Dime to Say I Love You offers not answers, but resonance—a reminder that pain is not the opposite of love, but its echo.

What if a simple act of kindness could change a life forever?

In Earth Angels, Sandy Lundy shares a heartfelt exploration of compassion’s transformative power, inspired by her journey through unimaginable loss. After her eleven-year-old son, Shane, died by suicide following relentless bullying, Sandy made a conscious choice to channel her pain into a mission of hope and action.

This moving book celebrates the quiet strength of everyday heroes—Earth Angels—who inspire change through small acts of kindness. Lundy blends deeply personal reflections with real-world stories to show how even the simplest gestures can ripple outward, touching countless lives. With insights into the impact of bullying, the healing power of community, and the importance of empathy, Earth Angels challenges readers to make compassion a daily practice. But compassion, kindness, and integrity are not just character traits; they are actions—choices we must consciously make every day. Whether it’s a high-five, a word of encouragement, or standing up to cruelty, these small acts have the power to transform lives in ways we may never fully realize.

For anyone searching for hope in times of grief, inspiration to uplift others, or guidance in building a kinder world, Earth Angels is a powerful reminder that extraordinary change begins with ordinary actions. This book is a tribute to those who lead with integrity and a call to action for anyone ready to make a difference.

Soaring Through Turbulent Times
Lessons from a female pioneer who embraced challenges from up above
When Barbara Bell was a child in the sixties, she often dreamed she was flying. In a deep sleep, she would soar through the rolling hills, with arms outstretched, as her body accelerated through the air. Many of these dreamy nights were spent gliding through the same cloud formations that she observed from her family's backyard in small-town Michigan. These dreams eventually transformed into reality when she went on to build a distinguished career as an aviator and naval flight test officer.

In Flight Lessons, Bell shares the unexpected turbulence she encountered while navigating thirty-five different types of US and allied aircraft, tallying over sixteen hundred hours of flight time. Her perseverance to push past the limits that were often placed on her as a woman in the military is what defines her today and gives her a platform to stand on when mentoring and the next generation of women.
Sprinkled with compelling personal anecdotes, Flight Lessons showcases Bell's trailblazing years of service and gives perspective on what women can accomplish with persistence and knowledge. With a narrative that is drenched in female empowerment, Flight Lessons chronicles an extraordinary journey of inspiration, thanks to Bell's belief in tackling challenges from a higher perspective.

The Number One Killer of Teenagers in America is a Traffic Crash

Even though we have had driver education for over three generations, that statistic remains unchanged. But, it doesn't have to be that way.In this book, Patrick Barrett traces the history of driver education's failure to produce safer drivers. He identifies it causes for failure and provides a real answer for how we can reduce collisions by 50%.

While technology has improved vehicle design and made the roads safer, driver education has not advanced. It continues to use the same outdated formula adopted in 1949 of five hours of classroom instruction for every one hour of in-vehicle training.

The so-called stakeholders in driver education have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. As long as the current standards and same agencies continue to rule driver education, you can expect driver education to continue to fail.

Mr. Barrett shows how the lack of accountability and the use of a time-based standards and a public school format that emphasizes classroom over in-vehicle training creates a system in which new drivers know just enough to be dangerous.Included in this book are the "7 Deadly Mistakes Parents Make When Choosing Driver Education for their Teen" and how parents can avoid these tragic mistakes.

In addition, this book contains resources, options for a mastery-based approach, and opportunities for individuals and organizations who want to make a difference in producing safer drivers.

Would you walk away from a game of checkers after being jumped one time? Of course not. You still have eighteen pieces left and plenty of opportunities to win. But as adults we lose sight of the life’s entire board. Once we mess up, we think the game is over. Winning the Moment is a guide to living the life you want and becoming the person you want to be.
In engaging, can’t-put-it-down storytelling, Cody Adent shows how much life has to offer when you change your mindset and focus. As a species, we have preconditioned believes about all facets of life that we never take the time to question. Everyone is in different spectrums of their lives and we don't take enough time to define for ourselves what a win looks like; instead, we take the easy way and let other people define it for us. Therein lies the problem — expectation is the root of disappointment. Life is a gift of many successes but much of our day-to-day lives is a subconscious reflection of our views on winning and losing. Unfortunately, some people develop an unhealthy “win at any cost” relationship with winning. Eternally optimistic and infectiously stubborn, Cody Adent shares lessons from a meteoric career trajectory to inspire motivation and tools to make a pivot in life that brings you closer to living the life you desire.
There are ten times during the day when all of us can make better decisions and appreciate things, you forget how good it feels to be the person you want to be. In Winning the Moment, we learn that winning the moment is about creating a path to enjoy a fulfilling life. Too many people spend too much time searching for what they “should” be doing, versus what they “want” to do. You own it. Make it what you want. Cody isn’t going to tell you what they are. You know the best decisions at the best times. When you don’t take the time to appreciate things, you forget how good it feels to be the person you want to be. In Winning the Moment, we learn that winning the moment is about creating a path to enjoy a fulfilling life. Too many people spend too much time searching for what they “should” be doing, versus what they “want” to do. You own it. Make it what you want.

Is the Glass Ceiling Also a Mirror?

Women are the backbones of their workplaces, their homes, and their communities, but we women often feel drained, ignored, and ineffective, despite our critical roles and hard work. Society—incessant media messaging and the false narratives with which we’re raised—plays a big role in how we perceive ourselves. But could we also be holding ourselves back? In this manifesto of hope, Kimberly Faith—author, speaker, executive coach, and self-described graduate of the school of hard knocks—traces women’s activism and movements for change from 1920, when American women gained the right to vote. Simultaneously, Kim breaks down the limiting mental models that are still standing in the way—often unconsciously—and brings them to life with the Sisterhood, seven stories of women who overcame obstacles in their professional and personal lives. Get ready to be inspired by these stories—as well as how Kim rewrote her own life story—and break through the glass ceiling in your world. It starts with Your Lion Inside. Right here. Right now.

GREAT SMILE, GREAT LIFE
A great smile is invaluable: It’s a sign of good dental hygiene, it boosts confi dence, and it definitely makes you look great in family photos. Truthfully, a smile can change your life.

So brace yourself—by the time you’re done reading, you’ll be ready to go get that great smile…and it will change your life.

On the surface, it looked like Dom Farnan had it all. She was a successful business owner with a loving husband and a beautiful son, but her life was in shambles and her heart was hard. As a high-functioning depressive, she had been emotionally closed off for most of her life. That toxicity that she ignored and pushed down was rotting her from the inside. When the COVID - 19 pandemic threatened to take everything that she had worked for away, she finally hit rock bottom. That’s when she decided to make a change and take back control of her life.
As much as she tried to focus on her business and professional life, it was with the help of her coach that she learned meaningful and lasting change had to begin by confronting what she had ignored for most of her life: what was happening on the inside. It was all connected, and by stepping out of her comfort zone, and making a conscious effort to change her thoughts, she was able to change her life. That new outlook created a monumental shift that reverberated through everything she did. It made her a better boss, leader, wife, and mother. Most importantly, it brought her a sense of peace and calm that had eluded her for most of her life.
2020 wasn’t the year that Dom Farnan wanted, but it was the year that she needed. In Now Here, she describes the transformational and healing journey that drastically changed how she viewed and showed up in the world. It contains a collection of lessons and fundamental truths about life, work, love, relationships, and spirituality that can apply to anyone stuck in a rut and in need of a change.

RETIREMENT IS NO LONGER THE STORY OF OLD AGE. IT IS THE STORY OF LONG LIFE.
According to US census data, the average person spends nearly twenty years in the post-career phase of their lives. Luckily for those currently entering this phase, the traditional concept of retirement is quickly becoming outdated. We are at the dawn of the anti-retirement movement—a movement that assumes participants bring the same energy and enthusiasm to their post-career life that they brought to their career.
But every movement needs leaders, and the anti-retirement movement is finding two of its leaders in authors Patti and Milledge Hart. In The Resolutionist, Patti and Milledge identify twelve resolutions that can provide a framework for your continued growth, engagement, and adventure after you’ve left the workplace. Using examples from their own sometimes-bumpy journey from C-suite executive to a relevant and fulfilling anti-retirement life, Patti and Milledge suggest options for how to invest your resources—time, energy, wisdom, finances—to find your passions, develop new metrics for success, and surround yourself with kindred spirits.
You’ll walk away from this book enthusiastic about becoming a Resolutionist and inspired to make the next phase the best phase of your life. Welcome to the anti-retirement movement!

LIFE IS FULL OF CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES. CHOOSE WISELY AND WITH NO REGRETS!

Taking Chances, Making Choices is the honest, humble, and sometimes raucous tale of Kathy Stone’s evolution from an overly serious, risk-averse, independent young woman to an entrepreneur, business leader, thrill-seeker, wife, mother, and friend who dares to not only dream big, but to make those dreams a reality.

All while holding tight to her personal values and letting her faith lead the way. And in Decide to Dream, she shows you how you, too, can live the life you’ve always dreamed of.

A Lifelong Journey in Search of Happiness Tom Lawhead retired from banking at
the age of 39. It wasn't because of luck or a windfall; it was planned. Tom's
been on a wonderful journey, but there are plenty of downsides to his story
as well. The motivation for writing this book came from singing and playing
guitar in nursing homes, adult day care facilities and special needs
hospitals. He sees firsthand, every day, lives nearing their ends and the
affect it has on everyone around them. He often asks himself, "What have
their lives been like? Did they do everything they wanted to? Did they leave
important issues unresolved?" In this book, Tom candidly shares his
failures, weaknesses and regrets as well as many lessons about how to avoid
the same pitfalls. He gives a glimpse of what true happiness is all about and
how to achieve it. There is no shortage of practical advice regarding family,
money, careers, faith, sickness and even death. Read this book and learn how
to Take This Life And Love It!

Some say I am a lucky guy, because I figured it out before it was too late. I figured out what truly matters in life and I live my life by those principles. I almost missed out. I allowed myself to get caught up in life’s spin cycle. Too much work, allowing things that ultimately meant nothing to consume my life, being too busy to savor the simple things in life, thinking net worth was the true goal…well, not anymore. As I look around, what amazes me is that everybody wants the same things: We want to be happy, get out of the rat race, enjoy life, have fun, persevere through adversity, maximize joy, take risks, and be proud of who we are, what we have accomplished and the legacy we will leave. I know that because in my 30-year career as a sales executive, entrepreneur, public speaker, and faculty member at top companies and business schools, I have seen it with my own eyes. I have engaged with literally thousands of people of all ages, all over the world. They all want life worth. They want joy and contentment with their lives. They know they need it, they just don’t know how to get it. I do. I did it. I am a lucky guy because I figured it out at an age when I could apply it. It wasn’t too late. And it is also surprisingly simple, if you know the secrets.

The purpose of this book is to share with people of all ages the secrets to achieving a high life worth at any age. Life is too awesome to not be enjoyed every day in every way. It can be done. I know, because I am living it.

Practical and Spiritual Principles for Better Life Teams We are inevitably on various Life Teams throughout our lives—family, school, business, church and community, to name the most basic. Whether we are the de facto team leader or a role player, each of us would like our Life Teams to be winning ones. The Four-Step System, described as a metaphor based on four wheels, is intended for all who desire to improve their Influence Quotient, which is a specific kind of intelligence: the ability to influence our teams for a positive outcome. This approach is different from the usual leadership mandates set out in so many books. We cannot all be leaders all the time, which would negate the concept of a team. But we do need to be good influences on others. The emphasis should be on acknowledging the value of every teammate’s role while helping them prepare for times when they will need to step to the front to influence an outcome. Mastering the elements in the wheels of the Four Step System provides momentum and enables you to be On Point; regardless of what role you play. The end game is to improve the performance of our Life-Teams by cultivating meaningful relationships, which are far more rewarding than rings or trophies!

IT TAKES GUTS TO LEAD
Much has been written about the heads (analytic and strategic ability) and hearts (emotional intelligence) of brave leaders. This book asks the question “What about guts?” and then examines answers offered by a global network of exemplary leaders in their fields. Brave Leaders brings together interview-style explorations with relevant and easy-to-implement exercises to help readers cultivate their own bravery. Both field guide and workbook, Brave Leaders satisfies curiosity about how “guts” factor into brave action and argues that even this element of bravery can be nurtured.
The interviews collected here show what bravery looks like in the real world as practiced by people of varying ages and in a variety of fields and circumstances. Together, they make clear that anyone can become an agent of meaningful change for the greater good, whether by engaging in everyday office heroism or by taking a stand in the face of life-threatening circumstances. What one needs is good models, keen insight, and old-fashioned effort and practice. Brave Leaders shows readers how to discover in their own lives opportunities for courageous action and prepares them to take advantage of those opportunities to become a force for good in the world.

This is not a book just about flying a single engine airplane around the
world.This is the book about identifying the "Big Hairy Audacious
Goal" in our lives and finding a way to accomplish it through focus and
discipline.The author accomplished three dreams: the dream of coming to the
U.S. and getting an MBA degree (when he hardly spoke any English); the dream
of starting a company and becoming a self-made millionaire (when he had no
money, no business plan, no investors, no social network, and no experience);
the dream of becoming the first Chinese citizen to fly a single-engine
airplane around the world (when he had barely 200 hours of flying time and
two years of flying experiences). By sharing these stories, the author
challenges everyone to think about one question: "What would you attempt
to do if you knew you couldn't fail?"

Tom Osborne's Leadership Principles • Be a servant leader. Sacrifice yourself for the benefit of others. • Accentuate the positive and empower those around you. • Focus on your values and principles and stay true to them. • Bring a sense of teamwork through loyalty and unity. • Do whatever you can to help make a difference in the world. • Whenever you deal with adversity, learn from the experience. • Focus on what matters most: character, principles and process. • Mentor someone and leave a legacy of spirit and perseverance.

It's not in the knowing, it's in the doing. The evolution to becoming relevant with your self, your relationships and your business requires fundamental re-purposing in thinking and culture. Purposed people not only understand this concept, but they also realize that "why" becomes more important than "what."

In his new book, Dr. Michael Fling takes you on a journey that blends lessons of creativity, energy and passion that will change how you view your world and will add relevance to personal and professional fulfillment. He relates value driven "tipping points" at the end of each chapter, or lap, that convey the importance of having clarity, drive and an emotional spirit in everyday tasks. You will learn how to create more productive, predictable and sustainable patterns in your business and in your life and how to develop a healthier and more consistent culture of prosperity. 32 Laps reveals the secret to closing the gap between "knowing" and "doing." You will be motivated to look forward, to take action and to change.

Can an individual turn the pain of a troubled childhood into a recipe for success as an adult?

In Who’s in the Waiting Room?, Neal Goldstein tells his own story of going from high school dropout to lawyer, a dramatic transformation that he achieved by tapping into the power of relationships. Alongside his journey of self-discovery, Neal presents five behaviors anyone can adopt to foster quality relationships: find your people, acknowledge the need for each other, listen more than you talk, recognize the value of face-to-face contact, and find common ground.

Turning 50 is often a line in the sand for women. On one side is youth, on the other is the decline into old age. But that doesn’t mean we have to look old or act old — in fact, it’s quite the opposite. In our 50s we get the best of both worlds – the spryness of youth and the wisdom of aging. It’s the perfect decade to live our best lives and Maria Sabando has cracked the code on doing just that.

Through loads of fun, delicious, and healthy recipes sprinkled throughout, Maria motivates women to make food their friend, not their foe, and do it with pizazz as they entertain friends and family.

Maria loves yoga, and she introduces readers to a new pose in every chapter – encouraging them to find their own “yoga” – the exercise that feels like fun rather than work, helping to maintain a healthy weight with ease.

Along the way, she inspires readers to come to peace with their bodies. She helps women find a balance between enjoying food but not overindulging. Yet she’s no stranger to letting loose and having some fun, expressed in her quirky saying, “Indulge or you’ll bulge,” which means giving into temptation a little bit now so you can ward off the temptation to binge.

Through clever quips and true wisdom, Maria encourages women to embrace and enhance what makes them beautiful and release the rest with good humor. She goes well beyond giving tips to adopt a healthy lifestyle, eat well, and maintain a healthy weight. To Maria, these habits simply set the stage for readers to live the exact life they want to live, right now — one where women feel fully alive.

Yet, this is not just a self-help book. It’s also a memoir. Along the way, readers find a friend in Maria through personal stories that will make them laugh out loud at her mishaps and successes. It gives them a glimpse into what it was like growing up Italian in America, and being a bit of an Ita lian diva, today. Like listening to a familiar tune on the radio, women who grew up in the 60s and 70s will relate to her reminiscing and feel like they’re in a car loaded with friends, taking a ride through time with the top down.

This book is for every woman who could use a big shot of inspiration, a little boost, or simply a chance to laugh out loud as they step into their 50s and beyond. By the time readers turn the final page, they will have hundreds of clever ideas on how to craft a life of love, happiness, and meaning.
