ADRIEN FINKEL
For as long as I can remember, I have been writing down words that strike me in the heart. I will never forget the first mantra that blew my mind when I was a kid. "Bloom where you are planted." I wrote those words on bathroom stalls, restaurant napkins, and in all of my diaries. From then on, I lived for that thrilling moment when I heard something inspiring from a book, song, or person. I furiously scribbled on my notebooks, soles of my shoes, hands and arms, making sure I was logging what moved me. These sayings and quotations became my navigation system for any roadblock. They have dragged me out of heartbreak, hurdled me into uncharted waters, and grounded me when all has felt pointless.
In the midst of my twenties, I began to feel deeply under water while trying to make a life worth living. The idea of a nine to five job, a serious relationship, and a savings account felt like the opposite of "life goals." My sticky note piles of wisdom felt stale and replayed. For answers, I turned to friends and family. I started to seek out what words help them find peace and resilience. Responses poured in in abundance. People started to ponder. Everyone wanted to share.
I didn't have much. Just a camera, a marker, and desperation for some guidance. With trust and an open heart people started sharing the words and quotes they hold most dear to them. This purge of passed down wisdom quickly turned into personal confessions and secrets revealed. Together we found connection, relief, and breakthroughs at every turn. Friends introduced me to strangers, who introduced me to their friends, and before I knew it I had sat across from over 200 beautiful souls carrying notebooks and open hearts. We cried, we laughed, and I learned that listening might just be the key to my own growth and healing.
These conversations, catapulted me into a new phase of my life. I am filled with more confidence, sympathy, and courage as each day passes. However, my endless thirst for connection, reason, and wisdom still beats within my chest. What are we here for? How do we make our days meaningful? How do we live enriched, full lives with all of the pressures of the world in tow? That is where you come in. My Naked Truth is that I have hard time letting go of the fact that I can't control my future. What is your Naked Truth? Let's chat.

The MYTH OF THE ADHD CHILD by Dr. Thomas Armstrong who is a strong objector to the controversial ADD/ADHD diagnosis.
Here are some topics, he will be discussing:
Why Medicating Kids to Make Them Behave is Not a Very Good Idea
Reason #1 for America’s ADHD Epidemic: We Don’t Let Kids Be Kids Anymore – ADHD presents a question of brain maturation, not a neurological disorder, so a child’s age relative to their classroom plays largely into the ADHD diagnosis. At the same time, we’re expecting children to do things they are not developmentally ready for.
Reason #3 for America’s ADHD Epidemic: We Disempower Our Kids at School – Boring classrooms may be causing ADHD symptoms and thus fueling the sale of “bad schooling practices adaptation drugs.”
Reason #7: Too Many People Have a Vested Economic Interest in Seeing It Continue – Dr. Armstrong takes a look at some of the underlying relationships and complex financial forces at work to feed the ADHD diagnosis.
Strategy #1: Let Your Child Fidget – schools are beginning to recognize the benefits of fidgeting and are building it into the school day. Forget fidget spinners! Try everyday objects like a tennis ball, clay, pipe cleaners, or a string of beads that a child can safely and quietly manipulate while they work.
October is often recognized as ADHD Awareness Month!
"At a time when ADHD and the medications used to treat it are growing by leaps and bounds, Thomas Armstrong asks parents to think critically about the ADHD diagnosis, to value the uniqueness of their children’s different rhythms of learning, attending, and behaving, and to appreciate and use the wide range of non-drug strategies that are out there to help their kids prosper in school and flourish in life."
- Michele Borba, Ed.D., author of The Big Book of Parenting Solutions, Building Moral Intelligence, and UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World
"Thomas Armstrong, author of a pioneering series of books on neurodiversity, offers practical alternatives for parents who want to enable their ADHD-diagnosed children to tap the natural strengths of their atypical minds, manage stress, and express their creative intelligence without relying solely on medication. An inspiring guide to helping your kids live up to their fullest potential."- Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

From hard-hitting New York Daily News columnist Linda Stasi comes Book of Judas, a riveting religious thriller
featuring beloved protagonist Alessandra Russo.
Linda talks about her continent-hopping research project over 5 years - Israel to Rome to her hometown bank in New York - to uncover what may be one of the greatest revelations to be made in decades, if not centuries, about the Christian faith - Jesus and Judas and their "real" relationship.
The Book of Judas (September 19, 2017) is a tour de force. Linda had more than 200 fans waiting in line at Book Expo of America at the Javitz Center a few weeks ago, to get the first of her signed advance reader copies.
There's not a brighter fire-cracker in Manhattan than Linda! The New York Times has interviewed her several times already about Donald Trump because she covered him before anybody was...and she knows how to deliver pithy quotes for interviews!
New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille says the book “will take your breath away.” And New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline calls Linda "a modern-day Damon Runyon ... You won't be able to put down Book of Judas, and you'll root for Russo through this gritty, breakneck thriller against a vivid backdrop worth of The Da Vinci Code.”
About The Book of Judas
When her infant son is placed in mortal danger, New York City reporter Alessandra Russo is forced to save him by tracking down the missing pages of the Gospel of Judas, a heretical manuscript that was unearthed in Al-Minya, Egypt in the 1970's. The manuscript declares that Judas was not the betrayer, but the beloved, of Jesus. The Gospel disappeared, only to turn up decades later, rotted beyond repair in a Long Island bank deposit box. Rumors ran rampant that the most important pages had been stolen.
Do the lost pages reveal a secret that will challenge Christianity's very belief about the creation of life, or even the power to unleash Armageddon? What if such explosive documents fell into the hands of modern-day terrorists, dictators, or religious fanatics?
During her investigation, Alessandra is plunged into a dark world of murder, conspiracy, sexual depravity, and most importantly, a race against the clock to save her own child.
Alessandra Russo Novels
The Sixth Station
Book of Judas
New York City reporter Alessandra Russo is pulled into yet another intrigue; this time her friend
Roy inherits a strange religious manuscript, tightly protected in a mysteriously locked tube. Rumors run rampant that these are missing pages from a rotted codex, the heretical Gospel of Judas, which postulated that Judas was not the betrayer, but the beloved of Jesus. Alessandra’s interest in the manuscript is truly piqued when she is faced with tragedy no mother should experience, and must track down the missing pages of the Gospel to set things right. Do the lost pages reveal a secret that will challenge Christianity's very belief about the creation of life, or even the power to unleash Armageddon? What if such explosive documents fell into the hands of modern-day terrorists, dictators, or religious fanatics? Can Alessandra crack the code and learn what the Gospel of Judas is truly saying to the faithful? During her investigation, Alessandra is plunged into a dark world of murder, conspiracy, sexual depravity, and most importantly, a race against the clock to save her own child.

and Accepting of Yourself
By Shannon Kaiser
TarcherPerigee Paperback
SHANNON KAISER is the author of Adventures for Your Soul: 21 Ways to Transform Your Habits and Reach Your Full Potential, Find Your Happy: An Inspirational Guide to Loving Life to the Fullest, and Find Your Happy Daily Mantras: 365 Days of Motivation for a Happy, Peaceful and Fulfilling Life.

Learn more at www.playwiththeworld.com.
In our constant quest to be happier, skinnier, smarter, and more wealthy – outward expressions of achievement in our society – we’re living our daily lives based on some notion that we aren’t enough as we are. The fact is that many of us just don’t like ourselves all that much: 90% of women reportedly hate their bodies, twice as many American women than men are on antidepressants, and studies estimate 10 million women and girls suffer from eating disorders. We go out of our way to sabotage ourselves in myriad ways by picking the wrong partner, overeating, overspending, or overworking. We’re suffering from a self-care deficit, and Shannon Kaiser knows it’s a time we made a change.
An international empowerment coach and bestselling wellness author, Kaiser struggled first hand with eating disorders, drug addictions, corporate burnout, and depression. Self-criticism and loathing formed the backbone of Shannon’s relationship with herself. Having successfully turned her life around for the better, Kaiser knows personal development is not a one-size-fits-all journey. In her new release, THE SELF-LOVE EXPERIMENT: Fifteen Principles for Becoming More Kind, Compassionate, and Accepting of Yourself (on sale August 29, 2017; TarcherPerigee Paperback), she shares the personal challenge she designed to explore the self-harming beliefs that were holding her back, and learn how to take action, lighten up, and increase her self-confidence, self-acceptance, and accountability. A compassionate guide, The Self-Love Experiment instead provides the tools to help readers make the most out of life.
Part memoir, part psychological study, part inspirational personal development guide, THE SELF-LOVE EXPERIMENT invites readers to dedicate themselves to self-care, self-compassion, and self-acceptance, as they learn to become their own best friend.
