Sam Bennett, Start Right Where You Are: How Little Changes Can Make a Big Difference

Sam Bennett

Want to change your life, don’t know where to start?

An overwhelmed procrastinator, frustrated overachiever, and recovering perfectionist herself, Sam Bennett knows all the ways we avoid pursuing our dreams and reaching our goals. She also knows how to “get it done.” A friend along the way, she offers small, easily doable changes you can make to achieve your goals and dreams.

She says, “Just because your dreams haven't happened up to now doesn't mean they won't happen. And just because your life, career, or projects haven't gone the way you may have wanted doesn't mean they are not going well. No matter what has happened to you up to now, you have an opportunity to create a new story, beginning right now.”

Susan Anderson, The Abandonment Recovery Workbook: Healing from Abandonment, Heartbreak, and Loss

Susan Anderson

Heartbroken after divorce, a breakup, a death, or the loss of friendship, health, a job, or a dream?

Psychotherapist and abandonment expert Susan Anderson guides you through the five stages of your journey—shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, and lifting. She explores the seemingly endless pain of heartbreak and gives us concrete recovery tools and exercises to discover and heal underlying issues, identify self-defeating behaviors of mistrust and insecurity, and build self-esteem. And even have fun doing it! You can come away with a new sense of self, with an increased capacity to love.

Ruth Whippman, America the Anxious

Ruth Whippman

Are you happy? Right now? Happy enough? As happy as everyone else? Could you be happier if you tried harder?

Journalist and documentary filmmaker Ruth Whippman found herself increasingly perplexed by the American obsession with happiness. She found that despite spending more time and money in search of happiness than any other nation on earth, research shows that the United States is one of the least contented, most anxious countries in the developed world. So Ruth set out on to get to the bottom of this contradiction, embarking on an uproarious pilgrimage to a controversial self-help course, visiting a “happiness city” in the Nevada desert, delving into the darker truths behind the “positive psychology movement,” and more.

She’ll share a rigorously researched yet universal answer, and one that comes absolutely free of charge.

Zen Cryar DeBrucke, Your Inner GPS: Follow Your Internal Guidance to Optimal Health, Happiness, and Satisfaction

Zen Cryar DeBrucke

Cars have GPS’s; we are born with access to a powerful tool called an Internal Guidance System (IGS), says Zen Cryar DeBrucke. It's a broader, wiser and more infinite part of ourselves. When it’s closed, we feel constriction in our chests or a tightness in our stomachs, or lumps in our throats--and if we don’t know how to change our thoughts and shift our perspective, that leads to misery and suffering.

Once we learn how to access our own IGS, we can leave painful memories behind, abandon destructive relationship patterns, and create the life of our dreams. As we increase our level of consciousness and capacity to remain present to our IGS’s we move toward divine collaboration with others, leading to more love, joy, compassion and forgiveness on the planet. And pure fun!

Jean Shinoda Bolen, Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman

Jean Bolen

Feeling indomitable, untamed, unsubdued? Or maybe not so much?

Jean Bolen explores the myth of Atalanta, the famous hunter and runner in ancient Greek mythology, a mortal woman who is identified with Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt and Moon. Atalanta began life abandoned and left to die because she was born a girl. She went on to conquer fierce animals and make a man prove himself before she would be his bride. She exemplifies the indomitable spirit in competent, courageous girls and in the women they become who will not be victims, no matter what.

Looking at today’s girls with grit like Princess Merida from the film Brave and Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, Jean gives us ways we can explore and find our own uncrushable spirits.

Sandra Easter, Jung and the Ancestors

Sandra Easter

Where do we all come from? Do you know who your ancestors were...and how they may be influencing you today? Jung teacher Sandra Easter introduces us to a powerful mode of psychological inquiry that engages them as living presences shaping who we are and the lives we live. Beyond our personal biography, we can find evidence of them in dreams, visions, and symptoms of illness, and in nature and the land on which we live.

Sandra shares real-life examples of women who, by establishing dialogues with the ancestors, have been able to work through personal and generational trauma and wounds, healing themselves and those in their ancestral lines. Her work can change the way you understand yourself and your relationship to those in your past and your future.

Kayt Sukel, The Art of Risk: The New Science of Courage, Caution & Chance

Kayt Sukel

Are risk-takers born or made? Kayt Sukel uses cutting-edge research to illustrate which parts of the brain drive behavior, the different genes and neurochemicals at play, and the “particular blend of biology and experience held within that allows us to know what risks are worth taking and what risks should be left alone.”

She shows us the fascinating neurological pathways that provide the “gas” and the “brakes” when we are faced with a risky decision. And she shares human interest stories from the boardroom, the classroom, the playing field, and military frontlines.

Marrying the knowledge of science with the wisdom of those who have played the game and won--professional poker players, female firefighters, top neurosurgeons--Kayt gives us a few key rules to reset our definitions of risk and shows how to put artful risk-taking into action.

Pouline Middleton, One Woman, Three Men: Conscious dating

Pouline Middleton

Who says you have to find "the one"? How about three men; one to talk about the meaning of life with, one to be intimate with, and one to be an handyman?

Divorced single mother Pouline made up her mind to date three different men, one for each area that was important to her. She began a very transparent conscious dating search online. Every man she connected with knew her plan and needed to state which area he wished to be considered for. The interactions were fun, funny and profound. 

Since creating Modern Love, Pouline has coached hundreds of people to get in touch with their three most important areas, whatever they may be. Her process also works for men seeking women and same-sex couples. It's fun, but under the humor is a serious look at bringing our highest consciousness to modern love and sex. Laugh and learn!
