Life Could Be Verse Kirk Douglas
Kirk Douglas is an American legend— crowned as one of the greatest male screen legends in American film history by the American Film Institute. At 97, he is the highest ranked person on the list alive today. For his 98th birthday (December, 2014), Douglas offers us an intimate look into his life through a menagerie of poetry, prose and photographs. His poetry is uncomplicated but revealing; he pulls the curtain all the way back exposing the bombs and blockbusters of both his personal and professional life. Douglas had four boys All Children Are Actors who, like their father, had Actors are children, great spirit and imagiWho refuse to grow up. nation—here’s what he They live in a land of make-believe. wrote when they were They play sailors, soldiers and cowboys too. still young: They’re happy when they deceive.

2015 Spring Releases
Fathers and Sons “Am I a good father?” I asked my son He took a pause, too long for me I waited and waited for him to answer And finally he said, “Ultimately.” But the pause was all I heard The silence was so loud I was waiting for some kind word Something that would make me proud. How could I be so dumb? And I never heard The answer in the pause, When he spoke not a word. I became a “good father,” It took me too long to see, When I needed him More than he needed me.
Comical. Sentimental. Painful. Romantic . . . Douglas candidly shares it all as he chaperones us through the stages of his life, including the untimely death of his youngest son and a stroke that left him unable to speak. Still, Douglas doesn’t dwell in the sadness; nostalgic pictures of Marlene Dietrich, Lauren Bacall, Bridget Bardot and the Leading Ladies of his life pepper the pages and spice up the verse.
Yet, there is no Leading Lady like Anne Buydens. While filming Act of Love in Paris, she and Kirk fell in love. On their 50th wedding anniversary, Kirk wrote to his beloved:
Please Stay in Love with Me Does fifty years together Seem so long ago to you? The older the violin, the sweeter the music. It is often said, and it’s true. To me, it seems like yesterday We met in gay Paree. Now Paris is sad, but I am glad You chose to marry me.
In May of 2014, Kirk and Anne celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. As their years together increase, so does their love and Kirk’s devotion: “What are you thinking?” asked my wife as she sat down opposite me in front of the fire, once again in our Golden Hour. I looked at her beautiful face. How much history we shared, how fortunate we are to have found each other and remained in love for 60 years. I just smiled and said, “How much I love you.” I have lived a long life and fell in love with the right woman. God has been good to me.

Chronic Disease and an aging population are crippling us. Francis has the cure.
Our out of control epidemic of chronic disease, combined with an aging population, is threatening to bankrupt the United States. Raymond Francis offers a solution to this crisis. His revolutionary model of health empowers average people to get well and stay well—no disease, no costs, no crisis! In his new book, Francis draws deeply from his years of personal experience and professional training. A chemist and a graduate of MIT, now exposes the truth about why conventional approaches to health and disease aren’t working. In The Great American Health Hoax, Francis blends wisdom from his previous books with new information and research, then he pulls out all the stops and creates a simple road map to health so that you can get well and stay well. Francis believes that, through education, we can put an end to the epidemic of chronic disease while providing a solution to the biggest social and economic problem of this century—the costs of global aging. In The Great American Health Hoax, Francis shows us how to stay healthy, introduces a way of life that can become a “highway to health,” and demonstrates that we really don’t have to be sick. Then, he reminds us that not only is there absolutely no fun in being sick, but we are going broke trying to pay the cost. Francis realizes that the only solution for individuals and society as a whole is to maintain health. But health is a solution that we must choose, and once we make that choice, we must learn how to achieve it. Fortunately, learning how to be healthy has never been easer—The Great American Health Hoax makes it simple. Because the human organism is a magnificent self-regulating, self-repairing system, it is capable of being completely functional and in excellent health for well over 100 years of vital, productive life. We are the sum of everything that goes into our system—it is our job to support it. When we make the choice to properly care for ourselves, our bodies will reward us with the gift of good health and long life. All we need is a tool to help us master the elements of health that are the most important. This book is that tool. It will empower you to choose health and never be sick again!

FL), a chemist and a graduate of MIT, once found himself in a hospital, battling for his life. The diagnosis: acute chemical hepatitis, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities, and several autoimmune syndromes, causing him to suffer fatigue, dizziness, impaired memory, heart palpitations, diarrhea, numbness, seizures and numerous other ailments.

A preeminent voice in the addiction and relationship fields offers new insight on an old classic. Some really great books just keep getting better! For seventeen years The Betrayal Bond has been the primary source for therapists and patients wrestling the effects of emotional pain and harm caused by exploitation from someone they trusted. Divorce, litigation, incest and child abuse, domestic violence, kidnapping, professional exploitation and religious abuse are all areas of trauma bonding. These situations and relationships of incredible intensity or importance lend themselves more easily to an exploitation of trust or power. In The Betrayal Bond, Dr. Carnes presents an in-depth study of these relationships; why they form, who is most susceptible, and how they become so powerful. Dr. Carnes also gives a clear explanation of the bond that compels people to tolerate the intolerable, and for the first time, maps out the brain connection that makes being with hurtful people comparable to “a drug of choice.” Most importantly, Carnes provides practical steps to identify compulsive attachment patterns and ultimately to change or end them for good. This new edition includes: • New science for understanding how our brains can make a prison of bad relationships. • New assessments and insights based on 50,000 research participants. • A new section utilizing the latest findings in attachment research and narrative therapy to concretely rewrite and rescript bad experiences. • A redefinition of the factors contributing to addictive relationships. Patrick J. Carnes, Ph.D., is an internationally known authority on addiction and recovery issues. He has authored more than twenty books including the bestselling titles Out of the Shadows: Understanding Addiction Recovery, Don’t Call It Love, and A Gentle Path Through the Twelve Steps. Dr. Carnes’ research provides the architecture for the ‘task model’ of treating addictions that is used by thousands of therapists worldwide and many well-known treatment centers, residential facilities, and hospitals. He is the executive director of the Gentle Path Program, which specializes in dedicated treatment for sexual addiction. Visit Dr. Carnes at www.patrickcarnes.com.

The best reality show isn’t on TV—it’s in the high school counselor’s office. A lot of things go on behind Mr. Kuczynski’s doors . . . shouting, crying, talking, finger-pointing, and yes, door slamming.Students, parents, teachers, friends, enemies—they all contribute to the often complicated and heart-wrenching drama that plays out in hearts and minds behind those closed doors. Sometimes the stories turn out poorly, but sometimes they end in unimaginable joy. Kuczynski’s goal in writing this book is not to create a “reality show in a book,” but to use the stories that have unfolded before him as a teaching opportunity. It is to engage teenagers mentally and emotionally so that they develop better choicemaking skills and cultivate their ability to succeed despite seemingly unsurmountable obstacles and challenges. In Behind the Counselor’s Door, Kuczynski opens the doors just enough for us to peer into the cauldron of emotional turmoil within and experience some of the events of his many years of high school counseling: family chaos, the regret of a one-night-stand, the mind-erasing effects of partying too hard, an unexpected pregnancy, and the crushing impact of drugs and alcohol. And, of course, there are still the suicides, the abuses, peer pressure and more to confront. Yet, this is not a book about just the dark side of life and it’s not about making lemonade out of lemons, either. It’s about finding the seeds, planting a tree and enjoying lemonade forever. Teenagers will empathize with the trials and tribulations in the students’ stories, but behind those doors are also ingredients for making life a success: perseverance, achievement, inspiration, accomplishment, affirmation, self-confidence, and so much more. When teenagers take the journey with Mr. Kuczynski, don’t be surprised when they come back people of character and conviction, ready to climb mountains and achieve greatness. Kevin Kuczynski, MA, LLPC, LSC, BCPC (Macomb, Michigan) is a counselor at Cousino High School in Warren, Michigan, providing responsive services including counseling, consultation, referral, and peer mediation. He also helps students establish personal goals and develop future plans including college and career planning. He brings a wealth of private practice experience, where he specialized in adolescent, family, and marital therapy. He received his bachelor’s degree from Cedarville University and his master’s degree from Liberty University. He is a current member of the American Psychotherapy Association, the American School Counseling Association and serves on the advisory board for a large private counseling center in Southeast Michigan.
Sales Points • A very candid look into lives in turmoil; the situations are not unique, they take place in high schools across the country.
• The approach of Behind the Counselor’s Door is not one that has been published before; it is fresh and deeply compelling.

Budgeting Has Never Been This Easy. Before you can control your finances, save money, and get out of debt, you must first understand your spending habits. Sounds simple, right? But for most people it isn’t, because budgets are based on complicated monthly spending habits, which can be overwhelming. Jason Hastie has a different way that will revolutionize the way you look at personal finance. In an incredibly easy, comprehensible way, The Dollar Code shows you how to break down spending in order to pay off debt and achieve financial freedom—no matter how many methods have failed you. Hastie’s method is based on the principle of living within your means, but what makes it different is that it gives you just one number to remember—your own personal “Daily Digit”— the amount of money you can freely spend each day without going into debt. This one number is the key to financial freedom because it makes spending easy to understand, and when you understand spending, you can control it. Who will benefit from reading and applying The Dollar Code? Everyone who has ever identified with one or more of these statements: • I can’t understand why I don’t have enough money at the end of the week. • I’ve tried budgeting but it was too complicated. • My finances are out of control. • I get depressed about not having enough money. • I have too much debt and feel like the world is caving in. • I feel constantly bombarded by unexpected expenses. Not only does Hastie’s dollar code put those statements to rest, it also addresses a broad range of issues and scenarios that sometimes catch us off guard and, if we’re not careful, throw us into a tailspin. Hastie also tackles head-on issues such as the benefits and pitfalls of credit cards, emergency funds, saving for the future, and “the fun bucket.” His handy “twenty tips” and worksheets at the back of the book make applying the dollar code even easier and, once you unlock your code, you’ll understand why it is the one and only number you need to achieve financial freedom. It’s that simple . . . and fun! Jason R. Hastie (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) who came up with The Dollar Code concept over 10 years ago. Since then, Jason has been teaching this simple concept to hundreds of his clients who have changed their lives and way of thinking about money by using ONE NUMBER. Jason himself has used The Dollar Code method to pay off student loans, get out of debt, buy his first house in Calgary, Canada, and purchase investment and vacation properties in Canada and in Arizona.

This comprehensive but easily accessible book offers simple tools for understanding the world’s fastest growing developmental disability “Brains are like snowflakes—no two are alike.” —Rebecca Reitman, Aspie and Mathematician
If you ask Dr. Harold Reitman, labels are a lousy way to describe a unique human being, whether it’s Asperger’s, high functioning autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette’s or even the so-called neurotypical brain itself. One size does not fit all. Everyone’s brain is different. Helping others “get it” when it comes to dealing with those with so-called learning disabilities is why Reitman has written this book. It’s also why he wrote and produced The Square Root of 2, a movie about a college student who encounters—and fights—her school’s unjust system. The film was inspired by the real events faced by his daughter and contributing author, Rebecca, when she went to college; her seizure disorder and—at the time—undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome posed unique challenges not faced by most students. After reviewing the scientific community’s research, conducted over the last nearly 40 years, Dr. Reitman believes that it’s time to not just accept neurodiversity, but to embrace it, and this book will help people do just that. It is the first book to offer simple tools, action plans and resources to help understand and deal with anyone whose brain is a bit different. The astonishing rate of autism births alone (1 in 68) means that society will have to adapt to neurodiversity, just as it has had to adapt to other cultural and racial differences. Our educational system, our workplaces, and society at large will no longer be one size fits all—each individual will have the opportunity to maximize their potential—and we will be the better for it.

Today is the result of seeds sown yesterday. Every day we can build a happier tomorrow. Why do we lose our ability to feel great? And what is “feeling great” anyway? Is it really possible to feel great in today’s world where every day there is some new crisis or disorder? Some new upheaval or unexpected negativity? Where violence is rife? Is feeling great out of place or insensitive to the reality of many people’s lives? In this treasure of a book, Janki and Vegso call on their decades of spiritual study and practical experience to answer these and other essential questions. You will learn what it really means to “feel great”—and it might not be what you expect. You will discover that feeling great is not about having a good time for a few hours, or having money to spend. It’s about putting your life in order and remembering who you really are. It’s about practicing the four keys revealed in this book—enthusiasm, optimism, contentment, and respect—then learning how to start acquiring and applying them. Janki and Vegso’s rich descriptions of the sticking points we encounter on our journey through life demonstrate how we can recover our ability to truly feel great—not as a temporary indulgence, but as a lasting state of being. Now is the time to start feeling great, and this uplifting book shows you how easy it can be. “ To feel good, positive and great, I must realize that I need to change—because a better way of life is in my hands.”

“Dog lovers, meet your newest hero—Ricochet.” —Diane Sawyer
“Grab the tissues! From service dog to SURFice dog!” —Alyssa Milano
Ride the wave of hope with Ricochet, the only dog in the world who surfs with wounded warriors, people with disabilities, and children with special needs as an assistive aid and SURFice dog. This tears-to-triumph story shares the true journey of the gorgeous golden retriever Ricochet, who was expected to be a service dog from the moment she was born. Ricochet surpassed every other dog in her Puppy Prodigies training class; but she couldn’t overcome her love for chasing birds. Fifteen months into her training, Ricochet was released, leaving a frustrated owner and a dog without a direction. But once her owner Judy learned to let Ricochet be who she really was, they found her true calling as a SURFice dog. Embracing her true purpose, Ricochet began to help others, including those with traumatic brain injuries, posttraumatic stress, and physical disabilities, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charitable causes and inspiring people to believe in themselves. Ricochet is a poignant tribute to a special dog and a reminder to celebrate our uniqueness and cherish life’s everyday miracles. Judy Fridono (San Diego, CA) earned her degree in service dog training and is the founder of Puppy Prodigies, a unique program designed to provide a long-term advantage at an early age for service dogs and pets. She is the guardian of Rina and also Ricochet, an internationally renowned, award-winning surf dog who has become an inspirational phenomenon, philanthropic role model, Internet sensation, fundraising marvel, community advocate, goodwill ambassador, and muse to millions!

This breakthrough Rx for relationships will change your definition of “communication.” Chocolates are fine and flowers rarely disappoint, but for relationships on the rocks, nothing says, “I love you” like the promise of renewal. In I’m Not a Mind Reader, Babits reveals that too often, even the smartest people have difficulty communicating, and we’ve learned over the years that love isn’t enough to repair the normal wear and tear that occurs in relationships. So, what can couples do when even love itself fails? Babits lays out a totally unique blueprint for renewal in I’m Not a Mind Reader, explaining that every message from one partner to another can be considered in terms of three separate dimensions. Armed with this formula, whatever needs to be better understood, resolved, expanded or modified in the relationship can be addressed and communication brings coherence and connection. The person who practices three-dimensional communication lives in full and vibrant color compared with seeing everything in black and white. This new method is vivid and textured; it promotes the capacity to negotiate differences, to clarify misunderstandings, to heal confusions, and to reinvigorate passion and trust. Marty Babits is the Co-Director of FACTS (Family and Couples Treatment Service), a division of the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, one of the oldest and most respected training and treatment resources in Manhattan, chartered by the NYS Board of Regents. He teaches and supervises at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and at Hunter School of Social Work and in the Hunter Graduate Program in Mental Health Counseling. As a therapist, he has worked with hundreds of families and couples over the past twenty-five years. His first book, The Power of the Middle Ground: A Couples Guide to Renewing Your Relationship (Prometheus, 2009) was well-reviewed, including a recommendation from Library Journal. He has also published numerous articles in professional journals and writes “Middle Ground,” a blog on the Psychology Today website. Babits is in private practice in New York City.

When Police Lieutenant Alan Crane is on duty, who he “protects and serves” reaches far beyond the world of the living . . . Evil now has a face as Police Lieutenant Alan Crane and his supernatural counterpart, Michael Simmons, return in the third and final installment of The Light Bringer Trilogy. Together, Crane and Simmons slowly learn of the existence of the one who represents the darkness here on earth. As they continue to track their adversary they begin to uncover his long reign of terror, which courses through history and sets forth a plan to poison the hearts and souls of mankind in preparation for the final battle between good and evil. Who will win? Find out in The Risen. In the first book of this award-winning series, Lt. Crane came face to face with the mystery of life and death as sixteen people would die on his watch. Although tragic and untimely death is no stranger to the jaded ex-Marine, his new-found supernatural ability to lead people to their spiritual fates is a whole new experience. In the second book, The Fallen, Lt. Crane’s sensational journey continues as he searches for answers that will unlock the mystery of the darkness that is infiltrating the world of the living. But, we live in a time of increasing darkness—unending war, economic strife, and untimely death—and when bad things happen to good people, we often ask “Why?” This fascinating trilogy will engage every imagination and spirit while it answers this most provocative question.

He has over 20 years in Law Enforcement serving at various levels including Assistant Chief of Police.

The leading book to help women reclaim their confidence and control during pregnancy and childbirth is revised and updated with a 25th Anniversary edition!
HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method, Revised Edition The Natural Approach to a Safe, Easier, More Comfortable Birthing Marie F. Mongan, M.Ed., M.Hy.
June 2015 Pregnancy / Childbirth ISBN-13: 9780757318375 • Item: 8371 eISBN: 9780757318382 • eItem: e838X 6 x 9, 356 pages, trade paper $19.95 US • $25.50 CDN 50,000 first printing
HypnoBirthing® has gained momentum around the globe as a positive and empowering method of childbirth. In fact, more than 25,000 books were sold in 2014 through the author’s website alone, and according to Nielsen BookScan, over 70,000 were sold through reporting retailers since its publication in 2005. Here’s why: HypnoBirthing® helps women to become empowered by developing an awareness of the instinctive birthing capability of their bodies. It greatly reduces the pain of labor and childbirth; frequently eliminates the need for drugs; reduces the need for caesarian surgery or other doctor-controlled birth interventions; and it also shortens birthing and recovery time, allowing for better and earlier bonding with the baby, which has been proven to be vital to the mother-child bond. What’s more, parents report that their infants sleep better and feed more easily when they haven’t experienced birth trauma. HypnoBirthing® founder Marie Mongan knows from her own four births that it is not necessary for childbirth to be a terribly painful experience. In this book she shows women how the Mongan Method works and how they can take control of the greatest and most important event of their lives. So, why is birth such a traumatic event for so many women? And why do more than 40% of births now end in caesarian section, the highest percentage in history? The answer is simple: because our culture teaches women to fear birth as a painful and unsettling experience. Fear causes three physical reactions in the body—tightening of the muscles, reduced blood flow to the birthing muscles, and the release of certain hormones—which increase the pain and discomfort of childbirth. This is not hocus-pocus this is science.
Praise for HypnoBirthing® “ HypnoBirthing® is a trademarked curriculum that trains expectant moms in visualization, relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques, which are then used in lieu of drugs. Some studies indicate that hypnosis can cut down on pain and complications and possibly even shorten labor . . .” —Newsweek
“I’ve been delivering babies for 20 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this method. It’s incredible!” —Robert J. Zahn, M.D.
“Many of my patients have used the HypnoBirthing® Method—results: little or no medication and yet, a more comfortable mother.” —Gerald A. Hamilton, M.D.
“ This is magnificent! I’ll get up in the middle of the night for this kind of delivery any day of the week.” 16

Jane Middelton-Moz, and Mary Lee Zawadski
Emotionally disturbing yet cathartic, this groundbreaking book by two leading experts in the field of community intervention, anger and addiction, provides a compelling exposé on all aspects of bullying. Using in-depth case studies of bullies and those they bullied, Middelton-Moz and Zawadski provide a true look at the problem and what can be done to stop it. Focusing on environments where bullying occurs most frequently—in schools, homes, relationships, workplaces and cyberspace—the authors identify six bullying strategies that encourage bullying behavior and provide concrete ways to diffuse tense or potentially hazardous situations. Equally important, Middleton-Moz and Zawadski explain how to reach out to bullies with the appropriate guidance and support, without which bullies will only continue to create fear and anxiety in others. No matter how hard they try, it is virtually impossible for parents to keep up with all the apps and technological changes that enable bullying to remain anonymous. To help them, the authors have included a chapter just for parents on how to monitor their children’s behavior and online interactions to keep them grounded. For both parents and educators, Middleton-Moz and Zawadski also explore innovative anti-bullying programs and offer advice about which ones are really working.

The subject of an episode of Oprah’s Lifeclass with Iyanla Vanzant turns the ultimate wrong into a beautiful life. This is where it all began. On a cold January day with fresh fallen snow on the roads, beautifully formed icicles on tree limbs and a hopeless drunk behind the wheel of a car. This is where my story ended and a new journey began. Right then, in that moment, on the side of the road, in that accident, everything changed for me. —From the Introduction
Like many relationships, after eight years of marriage and two kids, Amy and Matt had drifted apart. They started fighting, lost trust and respect, and their marriage spiraled down. Instead of dealing with the problems, Amy started to drink. She lost her job, she gained weight, she neglected her children. And then one day, she went too far. Even though she knew she’d had too much to drink, she got behind the wheel of her car and in a drunken blackout crashed head first into a tree. Only when she came to—to the sounds of her daughter’s screams—did she remember . . . both her children were in the car with her. After this ultimate betrayal, Matt was done. He filed for divorce. But this is a story of miracles. Combining the heart wrenching blow-by-blow devastation of Beautiful Boy, and the inspiring devotion found in The Vow, From This Day Forward has all the drama of a Lifetime Movie, with a universal message for anyone who strives to love one person no matter what happens. With heartrending honesty Matt and Amy tell a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seat. It is a story with the power to help others find the strength to take that first step in the right direction, to start a conversation with the one they love, to repair, rebuild, and restore, because once we understand the power of forgiveness, no relationship is ever past hope. In July, 2012 Amy and Matt had the opportunity to share their story when Amy was chosen among thousands to share her experience on Oprah’s Lifeclass with Iyanla Vanzant. Focused on “Growing Beyond Guilt,” it was a powerful segment that ultimately lead to this opportunity for them to tell their story more completely in From This Day Forward.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven, their angels always see the face of my Father, who is in heaven.” —Matthew 18:10 (ESV)
It is almost unfathomable to believe that just nine years ago Neen was in prison—a place as familiar to her as the streets she lived on. In just 15 years, she had been arrested 83 times with 66 convictions. Neen had— and lost—four children, she was a crack addict, a prostitute, and desperately lost. But as long as she had breath, she would still have hope. One day, after 32 years hustling on the streets of Annapolis, Neen’s crumb of hope turned into a seed of trust. Healing Neen isn’t just another story about victims and survivors or recovery and redemption; ultimately, it is a story of Good News and a testament to God’s grace and presence. It is the story of a woman’s path to salvation and a propitious glimpse into the potential buried deep within some of society’s most vulnerable people. But this story isn’t just about Neen; it’s about the value of human life, the depth of suffering, and the heights of grace. It is a convincing cri de coeur for better practices in the way we treat and counsel those caught in the cycles of trauma, addiction, and serial incarceration. Neen brings us face-to-face with the ubiquitous corruption, neglect, and abuse in some of the systems meant to safeguard at-risk women and children, yet she leaves us with hope that things can change for the better. Today, Tonier Cain’s calling is to help save thousands of other “Neens” across the nation. She is a leading advocate for traumainformed care in prisons and mental health facilities. She is a champion for examining and improving the way we help one another toward redemption, and she is the voice of compassion and promise for so many still living on the fringe who need to hear “where there’s breath, there’s hope.”

Sunrise Sunset
Purr Therapy
52 Weeks of Awe & Gratitude
What Timmy and Marina Taught Me About Life, Love and Loss
Kim Weiss
Kathy McCoy, PhD
The same vista. Never the same sun.
Move over dogs, cats are stealing hearts and racing to the head of the pack.
Much like life, the stage changes even when our vantage point doesn’t. And so it is with the rising and setting sun, no two are ever the same. Every picture tells another color, shape and shadow story . . . whatever unfolds each day reveals the diversity and beauty of life. Birds, insects, reptiles, trees, sandy shores—all thrive under the majesty of the sun. Weiss offers all of this as a show of gratitude, a tribute to the awe of each new day. Sunrise Sunset is replete with glorious photographs of different days and different suns captured from the very same vantage point, the very same terrace. Complementing her photographs are meditations, passages, poetry, reflections and contemplations from some of the best-known and loved inspirational leaders of our time: Jack Canfield, Marci Shimoff, M.J. Rose, Arielle Ford, Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr., Richard Bandler, Lisa McCourt, Betsey Chasse and many more. This is the ultimate gift book for saying “thank you,” sharing a blessing or offering an oasis for spiritual awakening. From sunrise to sunset, this will be a perennial bestseller.

Cats aren’t a typical choice for animal-assisted psychotherapy, but Timmy and Marina are anything but typical. Research has found that petting a cat can lower blood pressure and a cat’s purr is thought to help heal body tissues and bones. But not just any cat can be a therapy cat, after all, such animals need to be friendly with strangers and willing to be touched, petted and held by unfamiliar people. They have to be tolerant of loud voices and angry shouting, emotional distress, and sudden movements. It’s a tall order for any animal, but a particular challenge for a cat. In Purr Therapy, psychotherapist and cat lover Dr. Kathleen McCoy shows how two very special cats rose to this challenge, how they helped wounded souls to heal and how they taught even her lessons in mindfulness, joyful living, and compassion. She also shows readers how animal-assisted psychotherapy works and gives them an intimate and moving inside look at how Timmy and Marina worked with patients, how their double role as animal companions and co-therapists changed lives, and how, after their untimely deaths, the grief shared by those who knew and loved them led to even more growth and healing. It’s no surprise that there is a tidal wave of cat fanciers growing: even the Internet prefers cats. No dog site has reached the proportions of the most popular cat sites—case in point: the mega-star Grumpy Cat who has over 2½ million followers! More than an Internet trend, this very active market is exploding through cat video contests and festivals that are claiming the passions of millions who will benefit from— and love—Purr Therapy.

The Girly Thoughts 10-Day Detox Plan
Post-Romantic Stress Disorder
The Resilient Woman’s Guide to Saying NO to Negative Self-Talk and YES to Personal Power
What to Do When the Honeymoon Is Over
Patricia O’Gorman, PhD
Visionary counselor John Bradshaw explains the brain-circuitry that connects us to love and romance.
Dr. O’Gorman shows women how to be resilient and powerful. This companion book to The Resilient Woman: Mastering the 7 Steps to Personal Power is a guide for every woman who has ever had girly thoughts—that negative inner voice that robs their personal power by telling them counter-productive things like: • You are too smart or too assertive to be desirable • You are too heavy, skinny or busty to be attractive • It’s your fault that your boyfriend had an affair • You can’t leave the house looking like you’re having a bad hair day Readers will flourish as they explore their true essence and learn to counter girly thoughts by understanding how toxic this self-talk is, and how it impedes their personal power—their resilience. This practical and essential guide is the perfect format for working through ideas and concepts that will encourage positive, introspective thinking. Through journaling and recording emotional and physical reactions to provocative questions, readers will learn to move away from needing to be “the good girl” that is the essence of their girly thoughts, as well as how to step into their personal power by embracing their resilient spirit. O’Gorman builds on key concepts introduced in The Resilient Woman and shows readers how to turn up the volume on their inner wisdom as they kick their toxic girly thoughts to the curb.

John Bradshaw
John Bradshaw is arguably the most accomplished and well-known leader alive today in the addictions field. He taught us about functional and dysfunctional families, showed us how shame could become toxic and poisonous to our core selves, and helped us understand and heal the wounded, vulnerable “inner child” conceived by, and thriving in, that environment. In Post-Romantic Stress Disorder (PRSD), Bradshaw gives readers a clear explanation of the difference between falling in love, lust, and true love. Based on his research, PRSD is a deeply serious psychological disorder and the cause of 40 percent of all divorces—divorces that could have been prevented. Every day people throw away perfectly good relationships because they just don’t know how to navigate the tides, but if they could learn and understand the concepts Bradshaw presents in this book, the portrait of the family unit could have a whole new landscape. Join this great teacher as he opens the gates to a new frontier, tackling issues that threaten and endanger so many modern relationships. Be encouraged as he leads the way to a deeper and more fulfilling spiritual union. As he so eruditely observed some time ago, “As the health of the marriage goes, so goes the health of the family.” Yet Bradshaw ladles out hope unlimited—if parents could restore a deep, authentic love for each other it could be passed on to their children and families would actually flourish.

Living The EnerQi Connection
Why Do I Have to Think Like A Man?
Manifesting Positive Change
How To Think Like A Lady & Still Get The Man
Sheri Laine, L.Ac, Diplomate of Ac
Shanae Hall and Rhonda Frost Foreword by Mary Harvey
You can have greater strength and vitality through ancient Chinese balancing principles called “EnerQi.” Everyone wants to feel healthy, strong, and alive. Sheri Laine, a 28-year practitioner of Oriental medicine, shows readers how to do just that through a unique concept using the L.A.I.N.E. method: Learn, Align, Inform, Natural, Energy. In Living The EnerQi Connection, acupuncturist Laine explains how Qi—the vital energy that circulates round the body in currents—works and how readers can benefit by cultivating and nurturing it. The way in which we choose to harmonize and preserve this energy is what Laine calls EnerQi. Because this force field changes based on how well we take care of ourselves and by the lifestyle choices we make, we can actually raise our energy frequency to a much higher level, becoming stronger, happier and more alive than ever before. Living The EnerQi Connection is not only an enjoyable read, but its demystification of concepts and traditions from ancient Oriental medicine, including the art of acupuncture, is easy to understand. Readers will discover an uncomplicated path to achieving balance by incorporating beneficial changes in their daily lives that will empower them to be healthier, happier, more relaxed, and more fulfilled.

A no-holds-barred, unvarnished guide to male-female relationships from two women who’ve seen it all. Written as a poignant response to the male-centric advice in Steve Harvey’s bestselling relationship hit Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, this revised and updated book is a fitting rebuttal on men, sex, relationships, and women getting what they really want. As a current CBS personality on Atlanta’s V103 and former Sirius Radio host on Jaime Foxx’s The Foxxhole, former NFL wife Shanae Hall does not shy away from the difficult conversations in life. In her own funny, fresh, and bold way Shanae tells it like it is. In Why Do I Have To Think Like A Man? Hall and her co-author, mother Rhonda Frost, hilariously chronicle their experiences of marriage, divorce, and the dating pool, which has included bad boys, professional athletes, the “nice guy,” the “married guy,” and powerful businessmen. Including lessons learned from women and men they interviewed, the authors give women the tools to make their relationships fair and fulfilling. Readers will learn: why men cheat; how to date smarter by setting dating standards; the female counterpart to Steve Harvey’s “getting the ring” and the “90-day rule”; and how to set boundaries to protect themselves from infidelity, and physical and emotional violence. The authors make it clear that today’s pervasive male “player” mentality was created and nurtured by the very modern women who hate it so much. This book implores women to trust their intuition, ask the right questions at the outset—and change the dating game forever!

Tian Dayton, Ph.D.
Andrew G. Marshall
365 days of inspiration for the recovery journey, filled with wisdom to ground, guide, and renew the spirit.

A key component of staying on the right path is guidance from those who have walked it before. One Foot in Front of the Other gives readers a hand to hold as they face the challenges of living and provides a wellspring of knowledge from which to draw inspiration and hope. Nationally renowned trauma and recovery expert Dr. Tian Dayton gives readers all the tools they will need on their journey of recovery, just as she has for countless numbers of her own patients.

The antidote to passionless parenthood and the end of Mommy/Daddy discord comes with this radical approach to revive any marriage: Stop putting the kids first! As a marital therapist, Andrew G. Marshall has spent 30 years helping couples resolve complex issues and arguments and then fall back in love again. In I Love You But . . . You Always Put Me Last, Marshall addresses a pervasive problem plaguing modern parents: letting the children become the center of their universe and forgetting that they have needs, too. Here, Marshall shines a light on how this creates unhappy parents and fractious, desperate kids, and why adults need to shift the focus and remember they are husband and wife as well as Mom and Dad. The result? Kids who are less egocentric and more independent, and parents who work together and learn to actually like each other again. With insight, wit and in-the-trenches examples, Marshall reveals: why putting the children last will make them healthier as adults; how to fuel common interests outside of the kids’ soccer games; why being a “good enough” parent is better than being perfect; how to keep the passion alive when the nest is empty. While Marshall’s strategies might seem strange, they work! He has helped thousands of married couples restore the proper balance of priorities to keep the respect, joy, and love alive while raising wonderful children.

The Mission Is Remission
Getting Waisted
Hope for Battling Cancer
A Survival Guide to Being Fat in a Society That Loves Thin
Pat Williams with Jim Denney
Monica Parker
Foreword by Arnold Palmer
Sports legend and motivational speaker Pat Williams shares his battle against his toughest opponent— cancer—and offers his game plan for beating the odds. In the scoreboard of life, Pat Williams has achieved some impressive numbers: he’s run 58 marathons, is the father of 19 children, and has lead six teams to the NBA finals as an executive, taking the Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic to the finals five times. In 2011, Pat added another statistic—he became one of the millions diagnosed with cancer, and his would be a rare and incurable blood cancer called multiple myeloma. Calling on his faith and fighting spirit, Pat’s mantra became “the mission is remission.” After a stem cell treatment and rounds of chemotherapy, incredibly, the myeloma could no longer be detected. Pat’s story is ultimately about faith, family, and relying on a different winning team—his doctors. It is also about six healing factors that saw him through, which he offers here as an encouraging resource for patients and their loved ones. Today, in addition to his work with the Orlando Magic, Pat spends many hours on the board of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. He is a master motivator, change agent, and champion at heart; this is his rallying cry to inspire, educate, and lead others on to victory against all odds.

A hilarious and heartfelt memoir, a rallying cry for women everywhere to trade the Spanx for self-acceptance. Monica Parker bridges the divide between serial dieter’s survival guide and memoir, taking readers on a hilariously funny yet bumpy ride from chubby baby to chunky adult. In Getting Waisted, Monica begins every chapter with a diet she committed to and reveals how much weight, money, and self-esteem she lost, then she tells how much weight she gained when she fell off the wagon. She shares her fears and frustrations—when Mr. Right appears out of thin air, will she run back to the catalogue of Mr. Wrongs out of fear? She reveals society’s prejudices against overweight people: “No one tells a short person to get taller, or a tall person to get shorter, but fat people hear about their bodies all the time.” From living large in a size-zero world to jumping into the dating pool without causing a tidal wave of angst, Monica learns that when you stop buying what the “diet devils” are selling and start liking yourself, life is far more rewarding. Readers will laugh and cry as she realizes that while she thought it was her body that was in the way, it was really what she kept in her head that needed adjusting. Ultimately, Getting Waisted is an inspirational look at life through society’s warped fun-house mirror perspective, but Monica’s reflections tells the real tale: everyone is always under construction and we are all flawed, chipped, and dented, but that doesn’t mean we’re not interesting, vital, and sexy.

Finding Freedom Through Illumination
Soul Models
Achieving Christ-Consciousness
Transformative Stories of Courage & Compassion that Will Change Your Life
Cardwell C. Nuckols, PhD
Elizabeth Bryan and Angela Daffron
Achieve spiritual growth by changing your brain, your worldview, and spiritual consciousness through Realization. This deeply spiritual book will guide readers on a journey toward Realization of the Christ-consciousness that exists within each of us. In Finding Freedom Through Illumination Dr. Nuckols divides the journey into three sections, each defining a part of the process that leads to Realization—the accumulation of more Light. Dr. Nuckols explains that, as we gather more Light, our worldview changes and we see the world differently, and while our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors change, we become more intuitive and begin to understand that all of life is an opportunity for spiritual growth. Step by step, Dr. Nuckols illuminates the concept that Realization (sometimes called enlightenment, satori, kensho, samadi, or moksha) is about becoming one with our creator. Every spiritual tradition, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Hinduism, and Buddhism, gives direction for spiritual growth—all change our worldview and all have been shown to enhance levels of spiritual consciousness. Spending time in silence, solitude, prayer, contemplation, and meditation allows for intuitive change that alters our worldview causing the defects of character of the narcissistic ego to melt away. Ultimately, this is freedom, this is illumination, and this is spiritual growth.

An empowering guide for living life from the inside out for greater peace and happiness. The mind has a way of interfering with personal happiness, often causing stress and doubt. Getting in touch with one’s inner source of peace and following its guidance over the mind’s often-unfounded concerns requires training and discipline. Knowing this truth intimately, Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life founder Barb Schmidt developed a three-part spiritual discipline called The Practice. The Practice is a toolkit to be used throughout the day to guide people who are looking for confidence, less stress, and deeper meaning along life’s path. These tools are a compilation of the great Truths taught by authentic teachers and masters throughout the centuries from various religious and spiritual traditions. In the first three chapters of The Practice, readers are guided through the daily routine: Waking Up, Living Present, and Letting Go. Beginning with a morning meditation, a thread of peace is followed over the course of the day through the repetition of a sacred mantra, practicing focused attention, reading for inspiration, and reflecting on the day. In the concluding chapter, readers are provided with an opportunity to deepen their experience of The Practice with engaging exercises. By regularly taking the steps to go within each morning, stay present throughout the moments of the day, and letting go of attachments when the day comes to a close, readers will find that they are better able to do the following: • Remove the obstacles that interfere with inner peace • Manage stress and cultivate more patience, empathy, and compassion • Have more courage when facing fears and making changes • Overcome habitual behaviors and make better choices • Reduce negative thinking and ease feelings of anxiety, worry, and stress • See the blessings beneath life’s more difficult experiences • Know a deep feeling of wholeness

Spirit Recovery Medicine Bag
Why Did She Jump?
A Transformational Guide for Living Happy, Joyous, and Free
My Daughter’s Battle with Bipolar Disorder Joan E. Childs, LCSW
Lee McCormick and Mary Faulkner
An invitation to live consciously connected to one’s truth and follow the guidance of the presence within. Feeling limited by circumstances, substances, or behaviors often leads to the simple, yet profound question, “Is this all there is?” This question is an opportunity to rediscover one’s truth and live life more fully and authentically. Spirit Recovery Medicine Bag offers readers a path to finding their personal answer to this question in an engaging twopart format. In Part One, readers will join Lee McCormick as he reflects on his personal journey of recovery and transformation—a journey that initiated him into a life of helping others recover their own sense of self and purpose. Part Two is a medicine bag of healing practices designed to guide readers in developing self-awareness and awakening their sense of power—specifically the power of choice rooted in personal values and commitment to living those values. Covering a variety of topics addressing spirituality, awareness, and consciousness, the authors pose questions for reflection and self-investigation along the way. Spirit Recovery Medicine Bag is not a negation of Twelve-Step recovery, but a tool for expanding awareness and increasing involvement regardless of the path one is walking. In Twelve-Step language, it builds on Twelve Steps direction to practice these principles in all one’s affairs. The authors believe that the inner journey to one’s truth and the creative expression of that truth make for a good definition of spirituality, and they offer readers a very real message of the possibility of living happy, joyous, and free through spirit recovery.

2014 Spring Releases
A mother’s heart-wrenching story of her daughter’s suicide and the bittersweet healing experience. Six million people in America suffer from bipolar disorder. Joan Childs’ daughter, Pamela, suffered from bipolar disorder bouncing from doctor to doctor in search of treatment. Yet the demons in her head grew louder, and on a summer day in July 1998, the same day that The Oprah Winfrey Show aired a segment on bipolar disease, Joan Childs’ 34-year-old daughter leaped to her death from the window of her father’s 15 story apartment. Why Did She Jump? is her mother Joan’s haunting story of grief and guilt, yet it is a beautiful story of love and the courage to find peace and purpose once again. With brutal honesty and vivid detail, Joan recalls how the entire family became entangled with Pam’s illness as they watched her dive deeper into the darkness where no one could reach her. Ironically, Pam and Joan were both psychotherapists yet, with all their credentials and medical knowledge, Pam still could not be saved. Why Did She Jump? masterfully looks back even as it looks forward. Written with vivid memories of Pamela’s troubled yet loving life and the final days of her funeral and shiva (a seven-day mourning period in Judaism), the story will break your heart and then mend it again.

Ricochet Riding a Wave of Hope with the Dog Who Inspires Millions Judy Fridono
Ricochet, the YouTube sensation, surfed her way into more than 4 million hearts—and counting—with her message of hope, healing, and “pawing it forward.” Ride the wave of hope with Ricochet, the only dog in the world who surfs with wounded warriors, people with disabilities, and children with special needs as an assistive aid and SURFice dog. This tears-to-triumph story takes readers behind the TV and video sensation and shares the true journey of the gorgeous golden retriever Ricochet, who was expected to be a service dog from the moment she was born. She surpassed every other dog in her Puppy Prodigies training class; unfortunately, her love for chasing birds could have proven dangerous for those she would assist. Fifteen months into her training, Ricochet was released, leaving a frustrated owner and a dog without a direction. Yet through a twist of fate, Ricochet’s owner, Judy, realized that flunking out of school wasn’t the end of the world—and in fact, could be the beginning of a new one. Once Judy learned to let Ricochet be who she really was, they found her true calling as a SURFice dog. Ricochet first forged a bond with Patrick Ivison, an amazing 14-yearold boy with a spinal cord injury. Not only did they become surf partners, they became soul partners; the YouTube video of the two surfing together quickly went viral inspiring millions, and together they raised enough money for Patrick to get the therapy he needed to walk at his high school graduation. Embracing her true purpose, Ricochet began to help others, including those with traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress, and physical disabilities, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charitable causes and inspiring people to believe in themselves. Ricochet’s story is one of synchronicity, our interconnectedness, and opening ourselves to life’s “paws”ibilities. Ricochet is a poignant tribute to a special dog and a reminder to celebrate our uniqueness and cherish life’s everyday miracles.

A research-based approach to parenting that focuses on intuition— from two leading child development experts. Practiced in one form or another since recorded history, it has been slowly replaced over the years by a more detached parenting style. Research suggests that there is a strong correlation between a heightened sense of respect, empathy, and affection in children raised the “attachment parenting way.” The concept of “attachment parenting”—a term originally coined by parenting experts William and Martha Sears—has increasingly been validated by child development psychology and neuroscience. Its goal is to stimulate optimal child development. Parenting ISBN-13: 9780757317453 • Item: 7456 eISBN: 9780757317460 • eItem: e7464 6 x 9, 384 pages, trade paper $16.95 US • $19.95 CDN

Nancy Kilgore, MS
The Tracks, Book Three
Sibling abuse—the untold secret in millions of homes. According to a study by Gelles and Cornell, each year 19 million children are bullied or abused by a sibling. Yet, Girl in the Water is the story of one woman, with a phoenix-like power, who came up against all odds and won. She will resonate with readers who were touched and awakened by the stories of Dave Pelzer in A Child Called “It”, Frank McCort in Angela’s Ashes, and Jeanette Walls in The Glass Castle.

No More Excuses for a Low Sex Relationship. Here’s a Program that Finally Gets to the Root of a Silent Epidemic.
An Emergency First Aid Kit for Men!
Have the Sex You Want
My Wife Doesn’t Love Me Anymore
A Couple’s Guide to Getting Back the Spark
The Love Coach Guide To Winning Her Back
Andrew G. Marshall
Andrew G. Marshall
Andrew G. Marshall, Great Britain’s premier relationship expert and author, brings to the States his research-based program for ending obligatory “going through the motions” sex. In Have the Sex You Want, Marshall moves away from the symptoms and causes of low-sex and sexless relationships, and digs immediately into offering the cure—a 10-week program that strips lovemaking down to its basics and eliminates bad habits that are driving couples apart. Couples relearn how to turn each other on, set their fantasies free, and introduce new ideas that will turn their lovemaking into an erotic, passionate, connected experience. At the heart of Marshall’s program is establishing safe communication and trust without feeling fear, shame, or resentment. Marshall’s secret to engaging in fulfilling and plentiful sex, is to avoid it completely— a paradox that has proven time and time again to work. From the beginning of the program, couples engage in A Month of Sensuality—four weeks of understanding their own erogenous zones, discovering their partner’s body, and introducing sensual touching and kissing. This back-to-basics approach, which put sex off limits, takes the pressure off, does wonders for libido, teaches couples how to slow down and be present and check-in with each other about their pleasure, and urges them to schedule intimate time—time that is usually hijacked by hectic schedules, demanding children, and household and career duties. After they have completed A Month of Sensuality, couples graduate through two more phases that lead them to learn about different types of fantasy, orgasm, masturbation, and communication regarding what they want and need to not only have the sex they want, but the sex they always imagined they’d have. Andrew G. Marshall’s progressive methods to bring a couple back together physically, sexually, and emotionally are practical and pleasurable and guaranteed to give you what you and your partner deserve— an active, erotic, transformative sexual relationship.
Men aren’t trained to take the temperature on their marriages and check if it’s in good health. They tend to leave that up to their wives, so it can come as a huge shock when she tells him “I don’t love you anymore.” OK, he sort of knew she hadn’t been happy but thought that if he kept his head down it would blow over. However, she’s not saying “there’s a problem we need to fix” but that “it’s over and we need to tell the kids and split up.” Suddenly, the bottom has dropped out of his world. He doesn’t know where to turn, how to make sense of what she’s saying and worse still how to start fixing the problem. His friends will offer a drink to cheer him up but no practical advice and media aimed at men is full of sport, politics and business. He’s in a spin, begging for another chance and telling her “I still love you” just makes her colder and even more angry. Fortunately, internationally renowned marriage counselor Andrew G. Marshall has written My Wife Doesn’t Love Me Anymore, to explain how to get your wife to fall in love with you all over again and rebuild a relationship that’s more loving and fulfilling than ever. Offering techniques, strategies, and practical advice gleaned from more than thirty years of helping men manage their shock and navigate their way toward a relationship that their wife is crying out for, Marshall explains: • How to figure out why she’s fallen out of love • Five things you think will save your relationship but should absolutely avoid • What her words and actions really mean and how to use them to win her back • What to do to instantly improve the atmosphere at home • How to prevent past mistakes from undermining your attempts to build a better future • Five pick me up tips when you’re down and need to keep focused • When it’s time to admit it’s over and what factors indicate you should still fight the good fight Whether she’s told you “I don’t want to work it out,” “My feelings won’t change,” or the heart wrenching “I’m attracted to someone else,” this book can help you turn it all around and provide scripts to make her open her heart again.

Priceless Inspirations
Learn to Love Yourself Enough 7 Steps to Improving Your Self-Esteem and Your Relationships Andrew G. Marshall
In a black-and-white world, there are two types of people—those who love themselves too much (and walk over everybody else) or hate themselves for failing to achieve goals (and probably end up being taken advantage of by others). But, according to British marital therapist, Andrew G. Marshall, neither has a healthy perception of oneself. This is because the secret to self-esteem does not lie in the extremes of love and hate, but in the middle, in the gray area that teaches us to love ourselves just enough: enough to have love to offer others; enough to be open to receive love from others. Only when this kind of balance is created, can self-love exist. Like no other book on self-esteem ever written, Learn to Love Yourself Enough helps readers walk through life on middle ground by revealing the seven factors that, together, add up to a wealth of self-worth. 1. Examine your relationship with your parents: Discover the six types of child-parent relationships and how to accept the legacy of your past. 2. Find Forgiveness: Debunk the two myths about forgiveness and discover what can be gained from negative experiences. 3. Don’t let other people put you down: Recognize the five phases of projection and how understanding our own projections lead to better and happy relationships. 4. Re-program your inner voice: Identify the three kinds of negative thinking that work together to undermine self-confidence and whether they are based on fact or just opinion. 5. Set realistic goals: Learn how perfectionism undermines selfesteem. 6. Re-balance yourself: Understand that problems lurk in the extremes and why the middle way is the most successful way. 7. Conquer Fears and Setbacks: Overcome the day-to-day problems that life and other people throw at us.

Psychotherapist Sherry Gaba shows how uniting the concepts of the Law of Attraction with one’s authentic self can create a powerful recovery. “In our work on VH1’s Celebrity Rehab, I’ve seen the amazing connections Sherry makes with those who are so terribly disconnected . . . now you don’t have to be a celebrity in recovery to benefit from her years of training and experience.”
Investigative journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell traces her unique quest for an addiction-free life over the course of many years, detailing her struggles to stop drinking, smoking, overeating and overworking. With layers upon layers of addictions removed, she is able to distinguish between what she wants and what she truly needs, and ultimately confronts and controls her addiction to overconsumption.
“A fascinating and very solidly recommended pick for anyone concerned about America’s overall health.”

Growing up with an addicted parent increases the risk of PTSD and childhood pain playing out in adult partnering and parenting. Renowned clinical psychologist Tian Dayton explores how our brains and bodies process childhood trauma and how it can become a catalyst for unhealthy, selfmedicating behavior. Readers who have experienced trauma will learn how they developed PTSD and how they can heal.
The messages that we give to ourselves are the most important messages we hear. The internal briefings and conversations we hold determine our attitudes, our behavior and the course of our lives. Affirmations are a way to discover personal awareness, spiritual potential and self-regard. This book will provide readers an opportunity to nurture themselves, learn who they are and who they want to become.

Unfortunately, childhood judgments don’t disappear—they remain as dynamic forces that contaminate our adulthood. When childhood needs are not met because of abuse or abandonment, we spend our lives viewing the world through the distorted perception of a needy child. This collection of daily meditations is dedicated to those adults who are ready to heal their childhood wounds.
—Dr. Drew Pinsky
—Midwest Book Review
Corporations, government and the media give the illusion that the more we have the better we are. But Jane Velez-Mitchell asks, ‘Do you really want to exist just to make someone else rich and powerful?’ If the answer is no, then read this blueprint for change.
People with multiple addictions and disorders are more difficult to engage and treat than those with a single disorder. Their relapse and recidivism rates are higher and many tend to slip through the cracks of addiction and psychiatric treatment facilities and incarceration. This encyclopedic handbook to traits of the difficult-to-reach client is also a concise guidebook for those working with them. ISBN-13: 9780757315725 • Item: 5720 $14.95
