Self-Help

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.

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.

A “Top Professional of the Year” before the age of thirty, she was living a six-figure, wildly “successful” lifestyle by society’s standards. But we all know looks can be deceiving. While smiling and confident on the exterior, Sallie had a secret: she was actually miserable living the life she’d chosen. Only she knew that success felt like a role she was playing, and that on the inside she felt like an imposter who simply wanted to be doing anything other than what she was doing.
How in the world would she make a change at this stage of life? And what in the world would she do? If she made a change, what would everyone think? How could she reject society’s conventional definition of “success?”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From Corporate Professional to Passion-Driven Retiree
Mark Goldsmith enjoyed a 35-year career in the cosmetic business, managing household name brands during Madison Avenue's Mad Men heyday. Looking for new challenges in retirement, Goldsmith took his wife's suggestion to volunteer for the Principal for a Day program, specifically asking to be sent to the toughest New York City school available—which turned out to be Horizon Academy at the city's infamous Rikers Island jail.

Goldsmith instantly connected with the men of Rikers, leveraging the skills he'd honed in decades of corporate experience and his strong desire to help. This passion ultimately led to the creation of his not-for-profit organization Getting Out and Staying Out (GOSO), which has helped thousands of young men pursue their goals for their education, employment, and emotional well-being to create a new life for themselves beyond the criminal justice system.

Betrayal comes in many forms. In the corporate world, there are big lies, white lies, and lies of omission. In relationships, there are cheaters, two-faced lovers and friends, as well as out-and-out family fraudsters. The more trusting the relationship, the more devastating the betrayal. What is it that causes us such deep reaction to betrayal? Why do we relive it with such passion and intensity? Why does even the memory of a betrayal spark such feelings of shame, anger, and resentment?
In Betrayed, Dr. Elaine Eisenman and Susan Stautberg dive into over fifty true stories of betrayal to learn how to successfully handle the trauma in setbacks, overcome the urge for quick revenge, consider the possibilities of forgiveness, and most importantly, to set a positive path into the future.

Dr. Tracee Perryman has always fought to follow her leadership call. In her unique and powerful guide, Elevating Women Who Lead, you will learn exactly how to do the same.

Despite the prejudices, blockers, and backstabbers she has encountered at every step of the way, she refused to give up on her dreams. Dr. Perryman will guide you through how to build up a strategy that works for your leadership!

Through her hard work and perseverance, she fought through all the obstacles and became a powerful leader in her field. And she never ceases to fight for what she believes in, standing up against injustice and inequality, and making a real difference in the lives of those around her. Along the way, she faced many challenges, both personal and professional. She grappled with the jealousy and resentment of those who were seeking to tear her down.

But through it all, she remained steadfast in her commitment to her vision, never losing sight of what is truly important.

In this exceptional book, Dr. Perryman will guide you through strategies to achieve the same in your professional and personal life!

This is a book of how to build courage, resilience, and perseverance in the face of adversity and obstacles. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit. It’s about the incredible things that can be accomplished when we refuse to let others define our limitations, and be ready to

answer your call!

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!

Most people dread growing old. Some even fear it. We’ve all witnessed the drastic measures many have taken to slow (or at least camouflage) the effects of aging. And we’ve seen the tragic results.

In Happy on the Homestretch, Pat Williams — a man who ran 58 marathons after the age of 55 — offers a completely different way to think our later years. Instead of fighting tooth and nail to resist them, we should embrace them. We should welcome them with open arms and pursue happiness with the same enthusiasm (if not the same energy) that characterized our youth. He calls it “giving Father Time a hard time.”

Here you will find 30 tips for doing just that. No magic, no hocus - pocus, no surgical alterations, no pie-in-the-sky promises, just simple, practical ideas in the areas of attitude, health, relationships, work, and spirituality that will help you make your later years your greater years.

Happy on the Homestretch is also a great tool for anyone concerned about his or her legacy. The ideas in this book will guide the reader through the critical steps that are needed to reconcile lingering conflicts, reconnect with old friends, and leave behind value for future generations.

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.

Raised in a small South Texas town, the Southern Baptist Church, and a conservative family, Kathy Stone was taught to always do what was right and proper, to follow the rules, and never cause a scene. Kathy’s courage to open herself to taking risks, to being silly even when others are watching, to understanding that we must accept the consequences of our choices—so choose wisely!—set her on an adventurous path of raising three boys, building a multi-million-dollar business with her husband, finding friends in unexpected places, traveling the world, finding an unparalleled freedom in skydiving, and helping others more than she ever imagined possible. 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 Treasured Gift from a Father to his Son

As a senior in high school, I received a special gift from my father.

As I was about to leave home for college, my father handed me an eleven-page handwritten letter that contained his best advice for his son. The letter contained quotes from Shakespeare, snippets from classic literature, and candid confessions about things that my dad wished he had done differently.

The letter was written by pen but might as well have been written in granite. I still have this letter in a drawer in my bedroom closet and I read parts of it about once a month. To this day, I treasure my father’s words of wisdom.

As we get older, we realize that there are many lessons that life gives us. These lessons in life are invaluable. But these lessons in life are not serving anyone unless we share them with our family, friends, and even strangers.

About three years ago, I began writing the most important lessons that I’ve learned in my life. The life lessons range from almost every aspect of life, including health and nutrition, financial management, faith, professional goal setting, and virtues such as perseverance, sacrifice, and gratitude.

Ninety-seven percent of these life lessons are based upon abject failures, repeated mistakes, and, in some cases, heartbreak, but our mistakes and failures make us who we are. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Win Today was inspired by my father, James H. Fisher, Esq., who knew better than anyone that the greatest lessons aren’t taught in a classroom.

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.

Are you so wrapped up in the day-to-day tasks of working hard that you've never stopped to figure out where you want to go? Maybe you have goals for yourself, your family, your career, your business and employees, but you face challenges in realizing your dreams. Maybe you worked hard and had achieved success, but today's economy knocked you down. Can you name all fifty states or even all Ten Commandments? How can you remember 282 success principles for business or for life in general? And why should you when there are really only three simple, yet difficult rules for success? If you'd like to get started, or need to start over, on creating the life you truly want, you can do it. With profound and profoundly simple concepts, this book will point you in the right direction and provide you with a roadmap to your destination. Learn to See the End First and live the Three Simple Yet Difficult Rules of Success and you will succeed! • Deciding what you want and understanding what it looks like when you get there is the hardest work you will ever do, but it is the most important work on the journey. You must see the end first! • If we are too fearful of failure, we can go overboard on the work aspect of becoming successful. We can become workaholics or "successaholics." To be truly successful requires balance. We need to play, not just work. We need to build up those around us and not just our own personal success. • What is important in your life? In your heart? What gives you joy, when do you feel maximized, alive and energized? Take an inventory of what you spend your time doing. There you will either find your passion or you will find what holds you back. Are you living a life of quiet desperation, or are you marching toward those things you hold dear? • Sometimes you have to cut off the avenues of retreat to keep your attitude where it needs to be in that moment.

Overcome Life’s Obstacles and Find Strength in Adversity

We all face obstacles. Whether physical, spiritual, emotional, or financial, we are all working to overcome a roadblock ahead of us. When Shay Eskew’s roadblock—a splash of gasoline and a lit match that set his body ablaze—came at eight years old, he had the choice to either succumb to his injuries or to rise above them.

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?"

For John Collopy, owner of RE/MAX Results, alcohol was his vice. In an attempt to manage the trauma of a troubled youth, abusive father, and his own hereditary roots of alcoholism, John fell into a downward spiral of addiction and anger issues. Though his addiction clouded most of his youth, John was able to save his future by choosing a life of sobriety. Despite the everpresent battle against his demons, John is proof that there is nothing that is unattainable through determination.

John openly shares the secrets of his success, his journey towards a sober future, and the lessons he learned along the way. Filled with deeply personal anecdotes and wisdom, The Reward of Knowing is a beacon of hope and inspiration for those who find themselves caught within the grasp of addiction.

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.
