We are all looking for answers to the big questions: How to be a good person? How to find calm? How to beat FOMO? How do you discover what really matters?

Through Stoicism we can discover that we already possess the tools to extract this much-needed wisdom for ourselves.

In Reasons Not to Worry we delve into the past at a time that is not much different from ours: full of chaos, wars, plagues, betrayals, corruption, anxiety, excesses and even the fear of a climate apocalypse. By learning and living the teachings of three ancestral guides, Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius, Brigid Delaney shows us how to apply these lessons to our contemporary lives to regain a sense of agency and tranquility.

Stoicism can be a difficult remedy to assimilate, but not in this case: this book is brimming with insight, humor and compassion. It's timely and extremely useful, and it offers multiple ways to take back control. Here you will find all the reasons to stop worrying.

• How does unsafe sex affect my health?
• How do I protect myself?

The first book devoted entirely to tantra for women—ALL women 

Tantric Sex for Women encourages women to explore their sexuality in an open, playful, personal way. Using an inclusive, empowering approach, the author explains how every woman — lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual or solo — can increase her pleasure and add delight to her sexual encounters. Key topics include: 

• the essence of tantra and its meaning for women in the 21st century
  
• the energy centers, or chakras, and women’s erogenous zones
  
• tantric and Cherokee (Quodoushka) lore on the variety of women’s orgasms
  
• how tantra can activate the healing power of sexual energy 
  
• how to feel at home in your own body
  

Over 50 exercises form the heart of this book: solo exercises; love games for couples; and rituals, meditations and massage techniques. They are by turns creative and enjoyable, uplifting and profound, even thrilling and naughty, intended to inspire women to activate their sensuality and enjoy the small ecstasies of everyday life. Men who read the book and play with the exercises are likely to gain valuable insight into women and women’s sexuality, making them more sensitive and skilled lovers.

Discover the rich, resonant loving that grows from the wisdom of experience

Contrary to popular myth, great sex is not reserved for those under 40. With maturity comes the potential for a multi-faceted, soulful loving that draws from all we are to deepen our ties of intimacy and nurturing. That is the loving that sustains us into our later years.

Unfortunately, as many of us get older we find that the stresses of work, responsibilities of family, and sometimes even health problems keep us from enjoying sex as much as we used to. In this book, sex expert Barbara Keesling shows couples how to reignite their sexual feelings and reconnect emotionally.

Dr. Keesling provides a series of exercises that demonstrate the power of touch to 

• heighten sexual responses and expand sexual potential
• reduce anxiety and increase health and well-being
• build self-esteem and improve body image
• open the lines of communication
• promote playfulness, spontaneity, and a natural sense of joy

Who are these women and why are they smiling?

Sex Tips and Tales from Women Who Dare is a practical and personal look at sexual choice and expression, and a remarkable international collection of writings by women who are at the forefront of today's sexual revolution. With credentials as varied as their backgrounds, these doctors, journalists, entrepreneurs, sex workers and sex activists share intimate thoughts on self-love, gender identity, the right to sexual satisfaction, and more. Their stories, exercises, tips and personal insights cover topics such as:

• gender-bending and sexual choice
• same-sex relationships
• exhibitionism, film, pornography and erotica
• domination and submission
• celibacy, spiritual sex and good relationships

These collected accounts reveal the diversity of positive outlets for women's erotic aspirations, and show that sexuality is a life-long adventure that can be fulfilling, enriching, creative and fun. Whether or not you are ready to explore the sexual frontier, this book is a fascinating and inspiring account of those who have been there.

Your Prescription for Good Health —and a Great Relationship

• uses all five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—for a deeply satisfying erotic experience

Through a series of innovative exercises and games, readers learn to reconnect with their own bodies and establish intimate trust with lovers.

The book includes a one-of-a-kind "Reawakening Your Senses" program designed ot engage couples in a whole new level of sensation. A section on"Liquid Love" focuses on the sensory pleasures of baths, showers, and essential oils. "Deeper Love" offers an introduction to Tantric sex. And "The Four Seasons of Sensuous Passion" explores the stages of an intimate relationship and the sensual techniques that can strengthen each phase of love.

Find Joy in a Busy World by Practicing Patience

“This book is a true gift to the world. It's insightful and full of calm, helpful wisdom.” —Richard Carlson, author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

Bestselling author M.J. Ryan details just what living with patience can bring to our lives and how it can change us for the better.

Take a deeper look at an old-fashioned quality. We’ve all heard the phrase, “Patience is a virtue,” and doubtless responded with a sigh, as usually it’s spoken with a tone of reproach. But this virtue carries with it a wealth of wisdom that can actually help us find happiness in our day-to-day life.

Slow the rush. Things move at a quick pace in our society, in both our work lives and social lives. Not only are we forced to keep up, but we have been conditioned to expect instant gratification. Because of this, we find ourselves getting flustered by the smallest setbacks or hold ups―whether it’s a slow server at a restaurant or rush-hour traffic. Ryan shares how patience is the very antidote to the stress of our fast-paced lifestyle.

Reclaim your priorities. By reining in our aggravation when things don’t happen instantaneously, we give ourselves time to breathe and think more clearly. We make better use of our days and allow ourselves to make decisions based on how they align with our priorities, instead of focusing on how fast we can get tasks done. With M.J. Ryan’s help, we can learn to foster a patient outlook and find joy and fulfillment in the present moment.

M.J. Ryan’s book is a fulfilling and beneficial self-care gift for women and men that provides:

• Straightforward, believable instructions for developing a habit of patience
•  A source of stress-relief and guide to happier living
• Ways to find peaceful moments amidst the hustle and bustle that each day brings

Readers of Present Over Perfect, When Less Becomes More, The Joy of Missing Out, or Stillness is Key will love M.J. Ryan’s The Power of Patience.

#1 Best Seller in Time Management, Business Skills, Education & Reference, Writing Skills, and Memory Improvement

Too much to do, too little time? Feeling overwhelmed and stressed? Go back to the basics by writing out a simple daily checklist. It will change your life.

Simplicity at its best. The checklist is one of the world’s oldest—and most effective—productivity systems and time management strategies. Writing out a simple daily checklist allows us to plan our day and set in stone what we want to accomplish.

Cut out unnecessary noise. There are countless apps and organizational systems to help us straighten out our lives, but often they only add to the madness. Trying to keep up leaves us feeling drained and overwhelmed. Learn how to choose your highest priorities, set realistic goals, celebrate tiny wins, and feel calmer every day with the magic of checklists.

Be realistic about the time in a day. By physically writing down our tasks on a single piece of paper, we force ourselves to limit how much we can do in a day. Too often, we cram our day with tasks and chores and leave almost no space for self-care or time with loved ones. We end up disappointed in our inability to complete our never-ending to-do list. Checklists help you plan your day in a more realistic way. You accomplish what needs to be done—and enjoy things you want to be doing, too.

Inside learn:

• The history of the checklist and why it's effective today
• The science behind the success of checklists
• How to create a basic daily checklist—and checklists for specific situations

Una perspectiva completa para liberarnos del dolor emocional y sanar nuestras heridas.

Este es un libro importante porque te invita a empoderarte con el trauma. Te enseñará a aprender de tus experiencias vitales para prosperar en tu vida —y no sólo sobrevivir— a pesar de las dificultades que se pueden presentar en ella.

Imagina, por así decirlo, una enfermedad que, sin síntomas externos perceptibles, pueda apoderarse de todo tu cuerpo sin previo aviso. Una enfermedad que se transfiera fácilmente de padres a hijos; una que pueda durar toda la vida si no se trata. Según el Dr. Paul Conti, es así como la sociedad debería conceptualizar el trauma: como una epidemia fuera de control con un pronóstico potencialmente fatal si no se comprende y trata correctamente.

En Trauma, la epidemia invisible, el destacado psiquiatra Dr. Paul Conti se basa en las investigaciones más recientes para explicarnos por qué ocurre el trauma, cómo se manifiesta en el cuerpo y qué podemos hacer para superarlo. Nos presenta los tres tipos de trauma más comunes al que nos enfrentamos y facilita un conjunto único de ejercicios y consejos prácticos, que cualquiera puede utilizar, para ayudarte a reconocer los signos del trauma, sanar las heridas del pasado y encontrar el camino hacia la recuperación.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A comprehensive perspective on freeing ourselves from emotional pain and healing our wounds.

This is an important book because it encourages you to empower yourself through trauma. It will teach you to learn from your life experiences in order to thrive—not just survive—despite the challenges that may arise.

Imagine, so to speak, a disease that, without any noticeable external symptoms, can take over your entire body without warning. A disease that can be easily passed from parents to children; one that could last a lifetime if left untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis if not properly understood and treated.

In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, renowned psychiatrist Dr. Paul Conti draws on the latest research to explain why trauma occurs, how it manifests in the body, and what we can do to overcome it. He introduces the three most common types of trauma we face and provides a unique set of exercises and practical advice, accessible to anyone, to help you recognize the signs of trauma, heal past wounds, and find the path to recovery.

Tras el éxito de Una mente con mucho cuerpo, la psiquiatra y divulgadora Rosa Molina nos ofrece en su nuevo libro, Tus microtraumas, una guía para identificar y curar las heridas emocionales que forman parte de nuestra vida cotidiana.

Igual que las raíces de las plantas y los brotes que crecen en las grietas del suelo pueden llegar a dañarlo y desnivelarlo, algunos traumas actúan como un «cuerpo extraño» en una herida, saboteando nuestro presente y generando un sufrimiento innecesario.

De la mano de la psiquiatra Rosa Molina, vamos a distinguir los traumas más conocidos, «los de alto voltaje» —un suceso único y devastador que marca un antes y un después en la vida de una persona—, de los microtraumas —heridas emocionales de una envergadura aparentemente menor, pero cuyas características, frecuencia o contexto condicionan nuestra vida y nuestra relación con los demás.

En este libro, la doctora Molina nos descubre qué factores nos hacen más vulnerables ante el sufrimiento y el dolor emocional, cómo el apego y el contexto resultan indispensables para construir personalidades red-silientes y de qué manera podemos identificar y afrontar los microtraumas que originan las conductas que amplifican y mantienen nuestro malestar.

Tus microtraumas es una guía completa para identificar, conocer y superar las huellas de nuestro pasado y lograr que estas no determinen nuestro presente. Porque el cambio no solo es posible, es de hecho inevitable.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Following the success of Una mente con mucho cuerpo (A Mind with a Lot of Body), psychiatrist and popular science writer Rosa Molina presents her new book, Your Microtraumas, a guide to identifying and healing the emotional wounds that are part of our daily lives.

Just as plant roots and sprouts growing in the cracks of the ground can damage and unlevel it, some traumas act like a “foreign body” in a wound, sabotaging our present and causing unnecessary suffering.

With the guidance of psychiatrist Rosa Molina, we will distinguish the more well-known traumas, “high-voltage” ones—a unique and devastating event that marks a before and after in a person’s life—from microtraumas—emotional wounds of seemingly lesser magnitude, but whose characteristics, frequency, or context condition our lives and our relationships with others.

In this book, Dr. Molina reveals what factors make us more vulnerable to suffering and emotional pain, how attachment and context are essential for building resilient personalities, and how we can identify and address the microtraumas that give rise to behaviors that amplify and sustain our distress.

Tus microtraumas(Your Microtraumas) is a comprehensive guide to identifying, understanding, and overcoming the imprints of our past so that they do not determine our present. Because change is not only possible, it is indeed inevitable.

Cómo conseguir lo que te has propuesto.

La voluntad es la piedra angular del éxito en la vida y uno de los mejores rasgos de la personalidad: hace a la gente más valiosa y le permite lograr sus objetivos. Pero la voluntad necesita ser educada; no se alcanza porque sí, sino tras luchar por cosas pequeñas. La mejor manera de fortalecerla es mediante el orden, la constancia y la disciplina, con alegría. Las dos notas que la potencian son la motivación y la ilusión. Una persona que la posee llega en la vida más lejos que una persona inteligente, porque consigue lo que se propone.

El doctor Enrique Rojas estudia desde su perspectiva de psiquiatra humanista los diversos ángulos de la voluntad, y sugiere las vías óptimas para su educación.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

How to follow through on what you've set out to do.

Will is the cornerstone of success in life and one of the best personality traits: it makes people more valuable and allows them to achieve their goals. But the will needs to be educated; it is not achieved for the sake of it, but after fighting for small things. The best way to strengthen it is through order, perseverance and discipline, with joy. The two notes that enhance it are motivation and enthusiasm. A person who possesses it goes further in life than an intelligent person, because he achieves what he sets out to do.

Dr. Enrique Rojas studies from his perspective as a humanistic psychiatrist the various angles of the will, and suggests the optimal ways for its education.

Ending violence and creating peace begins with ourselves and our interpersonal encounters in our daily lives.

With impeccable wisdom and graceful simplicity, Peace by Peace offers 99 points to provoke thought and discussion and transform our relationships and lives, addressing questions such as:

• What are some common pitfalls that lead us to make a crisis situation worse?
• How do trauma, fear, and despair factor into escalation of conflict?
• If anger is not something that we can get “out of our system” by giving it free rein, then what can we do about it instead?
• How does binary black-and-white thinking impede our mental well-being?
• Is it possible to find common ground with someone even if we believe they are factually wrong?
• When is it better to walk away rather than stand one’s ground?
• How can we resolve common types of confusion that most often lead to conflict?

Ian Brennan’s insights draw from his decades of experience successfully providing violence prevention and crisis resolution training to hundreds of thousands of people in schools, hospitals, and acute-psychiatric settings, and beyond, as well as those facing criminal charges for violent conduct

Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better.

Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.

La técnica de los 5 segundos es una solución simple y definitiva para el único problema al que todos nos enfrentamos: la dificultad para tomar decisiones.

Mel nos explica cómo hacerlo: en el momento en que aparece la duda ante una situación que requiere una toma de decisión hay que empezar a contar hacia atrás, del 5 al 1, como si de una cuenta atrás de un cohete se tratara. Al usar esta técnica, cambias de mentalidad, interrumpes tu hábito de pensar demasiado y despiertas tu córtex prefrontal, facilitando el cambio.

In The Power of 5 Seconds you will discover that there are only five seconds you need to trust, break the habit of procrastination and doubt, overcome fear, stop worrying and feel happier. The 5-second technique is a simple and definitive solution to the one problem we all face: difficulty making decisions. Mel explains how to do it: the moment doubt arises in the face of a situation that requires a decision, you have to start counting backwards, from 5 to 1, as if it were a rocket countdown. By using this technique, you change your mindset, interrupt your habit of overthinking, and awaken your prefrontal cortex, facilitating the change. 

The technique acts as a ritual that breaks bad habits and triggers a new positive behavior change.

¿Cómo podemos aliviar el malestar psicológico? El miedo, la angustia, las obsesiones o la ansiedad son laberintos en los que es fácil sentirnos perdidos. Entender estos estados mentales y, sobre todo, aprender a encontrar una salida es uno de los objetivos de este libro.

En ¿Por dónde se sale? la psiquiatra Anabel Gonzalez tratará sobre los miedos y ahondará en una de las claves para deshacerlos: la seguridad. Pero ¿cómo alcanzarla? Si desde niños nos hemos sentido cuidados y con autonomía, funcionaremos con un estilo de apego seguro, que nos ayudará a afrontar las dificultades de la vida. Pero, si esto no ha sido así, a lo largo de estas páginas descubriremos pautas y ejercicios para que la seguridad crezca tanto dentro de nosotros como en nuestras relaciones con los demás. 

Una guía para fortalecer nuestra salud mental y salir de los bucles mentales que nos impiden avanzar.

EL CAMBIO PUEDE EMPEZAR AHORA MISMO 

El modelo terapéutico tradicional se centra en ahondar en el pasado y a menudo requiere de un largo trabajo personal. El éxito del método Tools radica en su propuesta de cinco herramientas sencillas y prácticas que te permitirán encontrar soluciones a tus problemas recurrentes y recuperar el control de tu vida, y lo más importante, la esperanza. 

Este libro te enseñará a:

Si tiendes tu cama al despertar, habrás cumplido con tu primera tarea. Tendrás una sensación de orgullo y te alentará a cumplir un objetivo más, después otro y otro. Esa pequeña labor se convertirá en muchas metas cumplidas. 

El autor, quien se sobrepuso a difíciles retos y se recuperó de un grave accidente de paracaídas, nos cuenta las profundas lecciones de vida —valorar la compañía, aceptar que el mundo no es justo, afrontar el fracaso, no darse por vencido y tender la cama— que aprendió durante uno de los entrenamientos físicos más desafiantes del mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 

From the acclaimed, #1New York Times bestselling author of Make Your Bed—a short, inspirational book about the qualities of true, everyday heroes.

THE HERO CODE is Admiral McRaven's ringing tribute to the real, everyday heroes he's met over the years, from battlefields to hospitals to college campuses, who are doing their part to save the world.

When Bill McRaven was a young boy growing up in Texas, he dreamed of being a superhero. He longed to put on a cape and use his superpowers to save the earth from destruction. But as he grew older and traveled the world, he found real heroes everywhere he went -- and none of them had superpowers. None of them wore capes or cowls. But they all possessed qualities that gave them the power to help others, to make a difference, to save the world: courage, both physical and moral; humility; a willingness to sacrifice; and a deep sense of integrity.

THE HERO CODE is not a cypher, a puzzle, or a secret message. It is a code of conduct; lessons in virtues that can become the foundations of our character as we build a life worthy of honor and respect.

The single book therapists everywhere will recommend to all of their patients, because at some point or another, we all behave like dicks.

Why this book? Because you might be a dick: a mean-spirited, self-focused individual who thinks and acts as though everyone else in the world can only be understood—and whose only importance is defined—in terms of their relationship to you. Being a dick might feel powerful in the short term, but it is not helping you in the long term because this flawed character trait is exactly what’s keeping you from attaining what you may want most: personal fulfillment, satisfying work, a loving committed relationship, and lifelong friendships.

Anyone, at any time, can be a dick. Yet Don’t Be a Dick is especially for people who have noticed how their own behavior tends to backfire, leaving them feeling isolated and unsure why their seemingly justified actions consistently yield such poor results. If you’re constantly using the refrain, It’s not me, it’s them whenever something goes wrong, Mark Borg is here to tell you that it is, in fact, you. The good news is there is something you can do to reverse these behaviors and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

The male case against patriarchy - why it hurts men, and how they can change it.

The macho society that held John Wayne as a role model has created an emotional wasteland where 80 percent of men are unable to accurately express their feelings, and that same percentage feel estranged from their fathers. The stifled male, disconnected and out of touch, fills the void with apathy or anger, and the toll is staggering: short, unhealthy lives, ruined relationships, and damaged children. This destructive behavior repeats itself in the next generation as the sins of the father continue the cycle.

In Becoming the Kind Father, Calvin Sandborn aims to break that cycle. His intensely personal story is heart-searing and inspirational. Brought up to fear his father’s alcohol-fueled fury and hateful put-downs, the author buried his feelings and fine-tuned his own rage. His father’s early death and the collapse of the author’s marriage provided catalysts for change.

Interspersing clever literary references with painful childhood memories, intense self-examination, and astute observations, Sandborn provides well-researched psychological findings and self-help tips, including how to:

• Identify and share feelings
• Treat yourself as a kind father would
• Form trusting male friendships
• Break the anger habit
• Forgive the world and yourself

This guide offers helpful insight for the millions of men who want to become kinder human beings. A must-read for every woman who loves an angry or emotionally distant man.

Calvin Sandborn is a journalist, author, and environmental lawyer who currently supervises the University of Victoria Environmental Law Clinic. He is also a kind father and grandfather.

Get Unstuck and Reclaim Your Vitality Health

“This book is better than vitamins. It is a boost and thunderbolt.” —Sherry Richert Belul, founder of Simply Celebrate and author of Say It Now

Living Now Book Award, Bronze – Evergreen, Personal Growth
2021 International Book Awards finalist in Self-Help: Motivational

When author and podcaster Polly Campbell got tired of her hoodie smelling like pizza and her days being clouded by midlife exhaustion, emotional burnout, and boredom, she decided to get off the couch and reclaim her vitality health. But could this burned-out, chronically ill, middle-aged mother of a teen rediscover her mojo? Yes! And so can you!

Small steps, big energy. Self-help books for women often encourage you to throw out the life you’re living and create a fresh start. You, Recharged isn’t about that. You don’t have to quit your mundane job, cut out cocktails, or sign-off of social media to recharge. Instead, Polly Campbell’s inspirational book is about adding things in―good habits, practices, fun, people, activities, self-care strategies―that ignite your essential energy.

Discover the small ways you can feel happier, healthier, and more alive. When we align with the things that matter to us and allow the “why” to guide us, we are energized. Sure, there are challenges, setbacks, and plenty of things that piss us off, but they don’t have to deplete us. They don’t have to leave us mentally exhausted or take our power. Instead, our energy can be refocused and redirected into things that we value. 

In this personal development book, find:

• Easy-to-apply, practical strategies to ease stress, boost energy, and improve vitality health and well-being
• Short chapters, delivered in a relatable, conversational tone, with plenty of humor
• Hope and inspiration

If you were inspired by motivational books and self-help books like Own Your Everyday, How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t, or The Self-Love Experiment, then you’ll love You, Recharged.

Make Positive Choices with Positive Thinking

"The Power of Positive Choices shows us how to consciously choose what's best in the long run and reminds us we have choices that affect the quality of our lives and helps us create a life of joy." —Patti Breitman, author of How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty

With so much going on in the world, it’s important for us to make choices that bring us closer to the joy and meaningfulness we need and desire in our lives. The Power of Positive Choices starts with the power of positive thinking, which helps us reduce stress and enhance our wellbeing and fulfillment.

Positive thoughts lead to positive choices. The power of positive thinking translates to making positive choices, which result in less stress and more joy, and Gail McMeekin's program shows readers how to do and achieve just that!

Subtract negativity and multiply happiness. Life is too short to spend it living an unhappy life. Thus, the hard work of thinking positive thoughts and having a positive attitude to develop a positive growth mindset is both essential and transformational.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Probing questions to encourage positive thinking and self-reflection
• Helpful self-tests for subtracting negative habits and people from your life
• Wisdom for making choices inspired by the power of positive thinking
• Strategies to effectively reduce stress and live a meaningful and joy-filled life

If you liked The Power of Positive Thinking, Addicted to the Monkey Mind, Empty Out the Negative, Greater Confidence, or New Levels of Influence, you’ll love The Power of Positive Choices: Adding and Subtracting Your Way to a Great Life.

Learn to Control Your Anger and Improve Relationships

Is the stress of life getting you mad? It’s time for you to have difficult conversations with yourself and with those around you to overcome your anger.

Don't let anger run your life. We all have issues that weigh heavily in our lives. Living in constant conflict isn’t something that you were destined for. If anger is something that you’ve been having a hard time controlling, then this is the book for you. Judy Ford crafted this book to provide you with practical and reliable tips to help guide you on your journey from anger to peace.

Anger has its benefits. Throughout time anger has been something that people have wrestled with, and feelings of shame and guilt frequently tend to follow. But what if anger can be used to help you communicate better in your everyday relationships? Getting Over Getting Mad highlights all the places anger can occur—with self, with partners, with children and with work colleagues. Once you identify the anger you can use the tools in this book to help you talk through that anger.

Personal growth will come. When you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, holding onto and lashing out in anger doesn’t help those already difficult situations. Judy Ford teaches us that when we choose to recognize our anger and observe (not attack) our feelings, we can free ourselves from responding negatively. We can then improve our communication with those around us.

Getting Over Getting Mad can help you take steps toward:

• Living outside of anger
• Communicating effectively in the relationships that mean the most to you
• Reducing your stress

If you enjoyed books like Mindfulness for Anger Management, The Cow in the Parking Lot, or Good and Angry, then you should read Getting Over Getting Mad.

Spotting danger before it happens is a skill that can be developed and may even save your life.

A mother dropping her teenager off at the mall, a young man leaving home for college, a family about to head out on their first trip overseas. What do all of these people have in common? They all have a vested interest in their personal security and the wellbeing of those they love. According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, there were an estimated 1.25 million violent crimes committed in the United States in 2018.

Make no mistake; in a world filled with crime and violence, you are your own last line of defense.

Continuing on the path of The Gift of Fear (Gavin deBecker), Spotting Danger Before It Spots You, author Gary Quesenberry breaks down the basic techniques necessary to help you develop good situational awareness and increase your levels of personal safety. Gary calls upon his extensive background as a Federal Air Marshal and defensive tactics instructor to explain these methods in simple terms that will greatly improve your general understanding of how, when and where violence occurs. He will then take the next critical step—providing you with the tools you need to properly identify and evade danger before it ever has a chance to materialize.

You will learn

• The common traits of predatory behavior
• How to conduct a personal “safety check”
• How to develop strong awareness skills
• What to do when you spot potential trouble
• Staying safe and living life free of worry and fear

“Today more than ever, it is imperative that we pay close attention to our surroundings and learn how to interpret what’s happening around us. Tragic events can often be both predictable and preventable.” — Federal Air Marshal Gary Quesenberry

Things change, and as the world becomes more challenging, we need to take the time to prepare our children. Not in a threatening or scary way, but in a way that is fun, engaging, and will give them the best possible chance of ensuring their own wellbeing.

Spotting Danger Before It Spots Your KIDS is a book about presenting the concepts of situational awareness to children (ages 5 - 12) in a way that will keep them engaged and help them take an active role in their own personal security.

This book will show you how to use fun, interactive games to build situational awareness skills such as:

• How children can identify and understand normal environmental behaviors.
• How children can spot abnormal behaviors within their given environment.
• How to give children a plan and a means of avoidance or escape should a dangerous situation present itself.

Whether you're a parent, relative, or work in the childcare industry, the things you impart upon children will have a lasting impact on the way they live their lives. Nowhere is this more important than in the area of personal safety. As caregivers, we have a great responsibility for the security and wellbeing of our children, and to guide them along the path to independence.

Your child’s future success will depend on their ability to interact with their surroundings and make sound decisions based on what they see. That’s the foundation of situational awareness.

Author Gary Quesenberry has spent nearly two decades working as a federal air marshal. The training methods outlined in this book are based on the lessons learned not only as a counter-terror agent but also as a father of three.

• five steps to “trigger mastery” that can be applied to any interpersonal relationship or encounter
• specific techniques for relationships with spouses, partners, children, bosses, coworkers, and friends, as well as a chapter for group facilitators
• ways to address triggers related to politics, racism, climate change, and other hot-button issues

Una guía para vivir la vida bajo tus propios términos.

Si la sola idea de pensar en lo que las personas puedan decir de ti te estresa y te frena, quizá sufras de FOPO.

La primera regla para ser dueño de tu vida y vivirla bajo tus propios términos es superar uno de los mayores obstáculos del potencial humano: el miedo a las opiniones de los demás (FOPO: Fear of People’s Opinions). Este libro es una guía que te ayudará a transformar esa voz interior negativa que te dice «No puedes» o «No eres lo suficientemente bueno» en una que te dotará de la confianza para perseguir cualquier cosa que te propongas.

De la mano de Michael Gervais, prestigioso psicólogo especializado en el desempeño óptimo de las personas, reconocerás los peligros de dejarte dominar por las opiniones ajenas, al tiempo que podrás mejorar tus fortalezas y desarrollar una filosofía personal que te permita superar los límites de tu mente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

If just the thought of what people might say about you stresses you out and holds you back, you might be suffering from FOPO.

The first rule of taking charge of your life and living it on your own terms is overcoming one of the greatest obstacles to human potential: the fear of other people’s opinions (FOPO: Fear of People’s Opinions). This book serves as a guide to help you transform that inner negative voice that tells you “You can’t” or “You’re not good enough” into one that gives you the confidence to pursue whatever you set your mind to.

With insights from Michael Gervais, a renowned psychologist specializing in optimal performance, you’ll identify the dangers of being dominated by others’ opinions, while enhancing your strengths and developing a personal philosophy that enables you to break through the limits of your mind.

The Personal Balanced Scorecard (PBSC) is a journey into the inner self, where values, hopes, dreams and aspirations lie quietly waiting to be discovered. Taking the journey as an individual allows you to view your life objectively and authentically as a whole person and provides a roadmap of your dreams and aspirations translated into manageable and measurable milestones. As a part of the Total Performance Scorecard (TPS) process which I introduced in 2003 in Total Performance Scorecard: Redefining Management to Achieve Performance with Integrity, and which has been translated into more than 20 languages, the Personal Balanced Scorecard can also be an effective way for managers to coach others to achieve integrity and alignment between work and life. The benefit comes from changing individual behavior in order to drive organizational effectiveness, enhance performance, and increase self-awareness, personal responsibility and motivation. PBSC is an integral part of this organic and holistic Total Performance Scorecard process, which is an organizational and cultural change tool and a method for ongoing effectiveness. Its uniqueness lies in aligning and a combination of Personal and Organizational goals to result in Individual Performance Plans for each employee. The focus of this book is the PBSC portion, which comprises a search for self-knowledge, self-discovery and self-mastery.

Why is it so easy for us to identify what we want, yet seemingly so hard to take the steps we need to get it?

Why is it that people with achievable dreams and a route to making them come true so often fail to follow through to success? These are smart people, with realistic, realizable goals. Yet when it comes to changing their behavior in the ways they must to get where they want to go, they just don’t do it. The fact is all those old bromides we were raised on are true; our happiness in life is 100% up to us. Our choices dictate our outcomes. The conundrum is why we so consistently make the wrong ones.

John Collopy – businessman, speaker, coach, and author - has helped thousands of people at all levels of accomplishment to greater success in their lives and work.

In The Reward of Doing, you’ll learn –

The possibilities of success and opportunities are all around us and this clear and concise book is a powerful guide unleashing the amazing 6 steps that govern the influence to your success in life.

Failing Opens the Door to Succeeding

Too many efforts with potential game-changing outcomes are short circuited by the fear of failing; people with huge ideas become paralyzed by “what ifs,” unable to see past the challenges of today. Dr. Akintoye Akindele and Olakunle Soriyan see "failure" and "failing" as two different realities and mindsets. Failure is a destination, a windowless prison that does not exist unless you accept that it does. However, failing is a journey, a launchpad into new knowledge and new beginnings and the key to successful innovation and entrepreneurship.

In A Love Affair with Failure, the authors aim to help emerging entrepreneurs be prepared for the inevitable challenges ahead and urge them to be resilient in pursuing their dreams, embracing the idea of failing not only as a prerequisite for achieving success, but also a victory in itself because it signifies having had the courage to take action.

Drawing lessons from their own personal journey and from other sources ranging from Ancient Greece to today's best-known businesses and leaders while also revealing the incredible potential of Africa as a catalyst for entrepreneurial support and achievement, A Love Affair with Failure paints a compelling picture of a region uniquely positioned to become a global powerhouse in entrepreneurship.

Jumping all in to a new career. It’s a dream likely far removed from where you’re at today. We’re talking about a bold move—a move other people may think you aren’t qualified for or capable of. But it can be done.
In Career 180s, Mike Harris proves it with the inspiring stories of ten brave individuals who dove headfirst into their new careers—careers they chose and pursued with vigor. Yes, they had doubts, and yes, they had to learn new things—but they charged ahead anyway. Do you have what it takes to do a Career 180? Regardless of how you answer, one thing is for sure: after reading the stories in this book, you’ll be more prepared, more inspired, and more ready to pursue your passion than ever before.
Who knows . . . this book may be what it takes for you to start pursuing that new career!

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.

A story of hope, courage, and determination and learning the lessons of entrepreneurial life. Dr. Palan explores the lessons and gifts of his extraordinary entrepreneurial journey. Based on personal experiences and examples from business and politics, this book is about defining your own success, knowing where you want to go but also being flexible and allowing life to take you in unexpected directions, connecting passion to purpose, truly understanding yourself and your strengths, being resilient, and the importance of continuing to learn.

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.

The top positions in companies go to the most compelling communicators. Regrettably, this critical skill set is often overlooked. Career success is determined 5 percent by your academic credentials, 15 percent by your professional experiences, 15 percent by your natural ability, and 65 percent by your communication skills. Given that so much is at stake, whatever career you’ve chosen, it’s critical to communicate effectively. A Climb to the Top author Chuck Garcia draws on years of coaching and consulting experience to explain how you can become a persuasive communicator. By utilizing such concepts as the Primacy/Recency Effect and the Rule of Three, a public speaking beginner can gain the confidence and influence of a seasoned veteran. Read this book, practice the techniques, and take your communication skills and career to new heights.

The things you really want in life are often the most difficult to ask for. Best-selling author and speaker, ASK expert Laura Fredricks knows that, and she knows how to ask anyone for anything with comfort, confidence, and ease. After raising more than $1 billion for nonprofits, businesses, and individuals, Fredricks has developed an approach that works for anyone making a hard ask like:
*Asking for money
*Asking for love
*Asking for help
*Asking for forgiveness

She’ll also help you identify which type of asker you are and show you the advantages, challenges, and refinements with each type so that you can perfect your own asking style.

Hard Asks Made Easy is a must for anyone who wants to ask and get exactly what they need and deserve.

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. But having a winning smile often means trips to the orthodontist, and if that evokes anxiety or even fear, you are hardly alone. The unease we experience comes from a lack of understanding, and so recognizing this problem, Dr. James Crouse—a leading orthodontist who has decades of experience and is one of the highest-ranked Invisalign providers in North America—explains all there is to know about orthodontics in a way that anyone can understand.
From the dangers of quick-fix solutions to simply finding the right orthodontist for you, Dr. Crouse covers it all in A Smile to Change Your Life: A Guidebook to Orthodontic Care, providing knowledge as well as the comfort that comes with understanding. Worrying about the orthodontist can get very old, and if you’ve reached the point where the frustration has you grinding your teeth, this book is all you need to solve that problem. By guiding you through the world of orthodontic care, Dr. Crouse offers understanding and peace of mind. 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.
