Do you feel like you're 'crushing it'? How productive, happy, and fulfilled do you feel each day at your job?

You might ask what attention has to do with it. The answer may help fix a wide range of ongoing workplace concerns, including workplace error.

The 12 Rules of Attention, by author Dr. Joseph Cardillo, provides guidance on how to self-regulate and train your brain's attentional mechanism for faster, more accurate, high-quality performance at work.

Simply put, attention is connected to every single thing you think, feel, and do at work. It's almost impossible to imagine, but by the end of this book you'll understand how that is, and you'll be tapping into your attentional system and regulating it to your highest advantage.

Everyone who has sought help with their mental health has at least considered a therapist and a good amount of people in the United States have standing appointments with mental health professionals at increasing rates during these unprecedented times. Each of these professionals has a focused method that they study and clients often book or are referred to these professionals with specialized methods.

Enter Richard Lane and his Neuroscience of Enduring Change and his new research that turns general psychotherapy on its head by making positive and lasting changes in a client! How does this method do this?

During our interview, Dr. Lane will expose us to his research concepts and give us the actual science behind why this method works. Psychotherapy practitioners in the audience will be challenged to consider how their own approach to therapy might be adjusted to enduring change. Researchers in the audience will benefit from authoritative reviews of this knowledge, having a clear description of the research agenda, and the continuous evidence of this research translated to practical application throughout the book.

At twenty-one years old Hope O. Baker made one of the hardest decisions a person can make: she placed her son for adoption. She lived with her son’s adoptive mother while she was pregnant and pursued an open adoption. After her son was born, Hope tried to resume her life.

But the difficulty of letting her child go gnawed at Hope. Even though she had it together on the outside—graduating college and excelling in her career—on the inside she was battling a destructive cycle of depression and addiction. When life was at its darkest, Hope managed to find her way back to the light. It’s a journey she continues to this day.

In this love letter to her son, Finding Hope: A Birthmother’s Journey into the Light, Hope shows how messy and chaotically beautiful adoption can be, by sharing the authentic details of her remarkable story. From her struggles, you’ll see how the community can help you rebuild and be reminded of how important it is to find your voice and speak up for what you need when life hands you unexpected difficulties. Hope has been through some very rough emotional turmoil, made some agonizing decisions, and has come through the fire to let us know that she has found her namesake as she emerged from places where she almost lost it.

While on a spiritual retreat in Peru, journalist Stéphane Allix experienced a vivid waking vision of a soldier dying on a snowy battlefield, followed by scenes from the soldier’s earlier life. He also clearly saw the man’s name, Alexander Herrmann, and felt a disturbing sense of closeness with the soldier.

Obsessed by the power of this extremely real vision, Allix began an intensive investigation that revealed this individual had actually existed: a German soldier who died in World War II during the 1941 Russian campaign. Diving deep into German military archives, meeting the man’s surviving family members, and following his own intuitive hunches, the author also discovered that the soldier was part of the Waffen S.S., the infamous Totenkopf Brigade, and his investigation broadened to explore what drove Herrmann to become part of such an organization.

While Allix’s initial impression is that this German soldier was a past life, he realizes that it was actually his mission is not to bring about the rebirth of this person but to heal him–and the victims of his ignominious actions during the war. Offering a fascinating exploration of visions, synchronicities, reincarnation, and the connections between the spiritual and physical planes, When I Was Someone Else shares a powerful message of healing after death along with the profound epiphany that light needs darkness to be perceived.

This pandemic has ushered in a social and emotional crisis for many American children. Your children may be going to school online, at least partially; and you are probably juggling work, their schooling, and coping with the pandemic and the recession. On top of this, American kids are more socially isolated and more dependent on screens than they have ever been. All of this change is taking a toll.

This book is designed to address these problems by directly appealing to kids aged 8-11 years old, using uproariously funny and highly-engaging writing and hands-on activities to teach them how to pay attention to their screen use, their mental health, and their social relationships. Written by a leading researcher in child development and a literacy scholar with a penchant for zany children's humor, INSANELY AWESOME covers problems using screens; how to stay close to your friends; ways to talk with your family; how to choose fun and safe activities; and ways to minimize any signs of depression or anxiety. A perfect book for pre-teen readers, it encourages reading through humor and games while being educational, based on real research, and informing kids about staying mentally healthy during one of the most challenging times in recent memory.

The teenage years … parents fear this stage, dreading it even while watching their adorable toddlers explore the world. When it arrives, they try to control their teenager, in turn causing their teenager to push back more intensely. It’s a natural instinct on both sides: teenagers are changing in every way while trying to assert their independence, and parents are faced with the challenge of coming up with rules, expectations, and standards for behavior without a genuine understanding of what is happening. But the result of this pattern is a parent-child relationship defined by conflict and reactivity–a breeding ground for stress, anger, and anxiety, all of which reinforce those same cultural stereotypes and worst fears.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In this book, family therapist Darby Fox challenges parents to redefine the goals of adolescence by reorienting their focus from what they want their child to be to on who they want their child to be. Darby not only equips parents with the insight to understand the changes taking place in their child’s brain and body and support their adolescent’s bid for independence but also offers an approach that allows parents to engage their adolescent in a relationship instead of struggling in an endless battle for control.

Young women’s minds are overflowing with creativity, intellect, and new ideas. Sadie says, “We care passionately about issues, from global to personal. We are all different; each of us has completely unique abilities and personalities. All of this terrifies our society. They can’t handle us, in all our messy, diverse awesomeness. So they try to break us into pieces and put us in boxes. The messages are relentless: You’re not enough. You’re too much. Be quiet. Don’t make waves. Smile. Don’t eat too much. Don’t be so emotional.” Sadie’s book reminds girls that they don’t need to accept the message “You’re incomplete” because deep down, she says, “we know that we’re already whole.” WHOLE GIRL looks at girls’ wide range of moods in a new light, using them as fuel to power all different parts of their lives.
