Book SynopsisEducation has become synonymous with schooling, but it doesn’t have to be. As schooling becomes increasingly standardized and test driven, occupying more of childhood than ever before, parents and educators are questioning the role of schooling in society. Many are now exploring and creating alternatives. In a compelling narrative that introduces historical and contemporary research on self-directed education, Unschooled also spotlights how a diverse group of individuals and organizations are evolving an old schooling model of education. These innovators challenge the myth that children need to be taught in order to learn. They are parents who saw firsthand how schooling can dull children’s natural curiosity and exuberance and others who decided early on to enable their children to learn without school. Educators who left public school classrooms discuss launching self-directed learning centers to allow young people’s innate learning instincts to flourish, and entrepreneurs explore their disillusionment with the teach-and-test approach of traditional schooling.Trade Review"Kerry McDonald is leagues ahead of the rest of the education reform community. This book demonstrates why. McDonald's robust evidence of high-quality education without schooling forces us to consider something that makes everyone feel very uncomfortable: our system of compulsory schooling may do more harm than good." Corey DeAngelis, author of Doing More with Less and The School Choice Voucher"Kerry McDonald's Unschooled is a remarkable overview of the growing grassroots movement away from institutionalized education and toward self-directed learning in our homes and communities." Patrick Farenga, author of Teach Your Own and publisher of Growing Without Schooling magazine and www.HoltGWS.com"Whether you're currently unschooling, curious about unschooling, or simply know that something's not right with the institutionalized educational model, Kerry McDonald's Unschooled is an invaluable resource. To read it is to realize just how rich education can be." Ben Hewitt, author of Home Grown"This well-researched, inspiring book clearly demonstrates that self-directed education supports each person's innate curiosity and drive to learn. While the form it takes is unique to the individual, experience shows it typically fosters confidence, community engagement, and an abiding love of learning. Hope is right here in these pages." Laura Grace Weldon, author of Free Range Learning" Unschooled manages to offer everything: a coherent history lesson, fascinating profiles, an explanation of how self-directed learning works, and an overview of innovative programs, all delivered in a lively, encouraging voice." Grace Llewellyn, author of The Teenage Liberation Handbook and Guerrilla Learning"This book makes a compelling case for giving kids back their brains, time, curiosity, driveand joy!" Lenore Skenazy, president of Let Grow and founder of Free-Range Kids"Unschooled is a wonderful book, enviably balanced between rock-solid data and warm-hearted stories about real families and real young people who have flourished outside our country's factory-inspired school systems. It's not the first book to see how bright and interesting the world can be outside the soiledand, these days, often barredwindows of America's schools, but it's fresh, convincing, and clearly written." Robert Epstein, PhD, senior research psychologist, American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, and author of Teen 2.0: Saving Our Children and Families from the Torment of Adolescence

Book SynopsisUnlock your ability to unfluster your parenting by identifying your anxiety style so you can turn frustration to flourishing Many moms live under the weight of seemingly constant fear. Moms worry about everything from their kids’ safety and emotional health to that weird little rash on their ankle. They are the referees, social planners, medics, financial consultants, cooks, travel agents, educational specialists, family therapists, and housekeepers. It’s utterly exhausting. Unfortunately, it’s not just exhausting, it leaves them flustered. Most of us don’t have access to the support or resources we need to manage being flustered in a healthier way. Women end up with symptoms ranging from “mom guilt” and “mommy brain” to depression, anxiety, panic attacks, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Moms are more flustered now than ever before. Even women who have no previous experience with anxiety or depression find themselves changed as a result of the physiological shifts, emotional isolation, hormonal imbalances, and unrealistic expectations that accompany motherhood.The Unflustered Mom offers a healthy alternative for dealing with mom-fears. Moms can identify their anxiety, better understand their triggers, their clues, their contributing factors, and their false beliefs. Then, they’ll learn practical tools that can help to dismantle the fears no longer serving them—turn their fluster into flourish.

Book SynopsisThe three most incredible blessings in life are not recognized while you have them but only after you've lost them: your health, youth, and freedom. All three are connected. There is great freedom in taking charge of your health. The benefits impact the quality of your entire life.There has never been a moment like this in history. Our generation is the first to have a choice in how we age. Because of the development and perfection of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, we can now choose to change our hormone chemistry back to the way it was when we were 25 years old.In my practice, we have placed bio-identical hormone pellets subcutaneously for over 20,000 men and women over the last decade. No severe complications. Over 98 percent patient satisfaction. Scientists and researchers in study after study have cleared the way for this dream.We use holistically developed, plant-based hormone pellets that dissolve over time, adding just the right amount of hormone restoration. The days of synthetic hormones are over.We're stopping the discomfort of aging. What's the downside of preventing dementia, stopping osteoporosis, or lessening your chance of disease? Watchful waiting does not make any sense to me. What are you watching for? Why wait? Do you want these diseases to attack you before you put up your defenses? You could enjoy intimacy with your partner again. You might enjoy traveling healthily with a healthy partner. You might see the doctor less. Your life will have new energy.The sooner you restore your hormones, the less likely you will lead a frail elderly conclusion to your life. We replace hormones in patients from 18 to 86 years of age, with most patients complaining of running out of gas, tired of being tired, grumpy, unmotivated, or suffering from brain fog, menopause (men and women), and other physical symptoms.Our hormones are vital. And why would we live over half of our life without them? What could we alleviate? Visceral fat, diabetes, osteoporosis, dementia, all these things if we had a youthful chemistry. I love this restoration of youth. It's the coolest thing I have ever seen. We're restoring the homeostasis balance of our body. We're restoring the homeostasis balance of our body. That's all we're doing. The body itself is brilliant enough to do its work. We're bio-identically restoring the fuel source.Use your medical freedom. Watch the results.Once your hormone levels are like a 25-year-old again, and you have the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of your years, that's the holy grail. The holy grail is having your health and life span occupy the same real estate. For me, that's all we can ever ask for in this life.That's all we're trying to do. That's our holy grail. That's our journey. Restoration.This is your personal invitation to age gracefully.

Book SynopsisDiscover Your Inner Courage“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" —Mary Anne Rademacher#1 New Release in Humanist PhilosophyWritten initially as part of a longer poem and featured in a gallery show in 1985, these words by Mary Anne Rademacher defining courage have traveled the globe.Defining courage in a beloved quote.

Oprah has included it in her magazine and journalists include it in “top ten” lists across many disciplines and categories. And, it is among the most beloved quotes on cards, posters, journals, and gift books.Bravery comes in many forms. Rademacher insists in her book that we overlook opportunities for growth and personal celebration by shrugging off courageous acts of perseverance with, “I just did what I felt I had to do.” Courage shows itself in many ways from having the courage to heal, to change habits, to learn and begin anew, or even to speak up for yourself.Defining courage with daily inspirations.

Trade Review“Finally, the business book we all need has been written by Mary Anne Radmacher. Her insight, wisdom and ability to get leaders to look within and reflect is invaluable. Courage Doesn’t Always Roar is another tool to share with my team and fellow CEOs as we navigate leadership and authenticity together. Her words create a common language and inspire thought leadership. I have shared Em’s writings near and far and often use them when it is my turn to facilitate my Monday morning CEO call. On a personal level, I start every day with a reflection of Em’s words that I keep close at hand. I find continuous reinforcement of her words and mantras that enrich and guide me. It is like visiting with a friend again and again and again when I read her pages. Em’s writing style creates the ability for the reader to open her work to any page and soak it in immediately.”—Christopher K. M. Leach, CEO “ ‘Courage doesn’t always roar...’ is one of Mary Anne Em Radmacher’s most recognized aphorisms. Courage Doesn’t Always Roar: Sometimes it Does is an invitation to explore how courage shows up in our everyday lives. It is a perfect daily inspiration book with each concept numbered and most fitting on a single page. Easy to pick up and read first thing each morning or in the ‘found moments’ of a busy day. The writing offers ideas that involve courage, broaden our understanding of ourselves and others, and create the potential for a more satisfying life. Each writing ends with a thought-provoking question to ponder in our days and ‘enCOURAGE’ us. A favorite of mine: ‘Of what might you dare to dream today?’ My answer ‘Even more now that I have read this book!’ ”—Caren Albers, author of Happiness Junkie and Married to a Vegan (memoirs) and Homecoming: Belonging and Knowing (poems & essays) “Learning from Mary Anne is the gift that keeps on giving. Like many people, my first exposure to Mary Anne was her famous quotation ‘Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.’ Mary Anne calls this a poem. I call it wisdom. Now, she has written this book about courage, the Preface of which says ‘Courage deserves a wider brushstroke of understanding.’ Not only am I still learning what this simple poem means, but in this book, Mary Anne continues to teach us all what else it means to be courageous. Over the years, I have collected Mary Anne’s artwork and posters about courage, as well as given them as gifts to others. Now, I will give this book of Mary Anne’s courageous wisdom to others as well.”—Arthur Bushkin, chairman of the Kindness Cloud Foundation“There are those humans among us who see deeply into life, with all its magic, uncertainty, pain and bliss. These are the seers, bound to feel things at a deeper level and with more insight, and finding and illuminating patterns for the rest of us. Mary Anne Em Radmacher is such a seer, using words and images and color to help all of us see more deeply, feel more strongly, and understand more fully our own responsibilities to be courageous, to own and explore our feelings but not let them trap us. Read this book for a master class in being fully and unapologetically human.”—Patti Digh, author of Life is a Verb and Geography of Loss“Reassuring. Engaging. Uplifting. Mary Anne has done it again! This book delightfully captures the essence of her informed wisdom, unique writing style, and quirky humor. Beyond the useful ideas that reliably address some of life‘s many conundrums, each chapter concludes with a question that invites reflection, direction, and action. Like courage itself, this book sometimes whispers...and at other times it roars. Get ready to listen and respond!”—Paul Wesselmann, the Ripples Guy (writer, speaker, adventurer)“Wise. Warm. Infused with strength easily inhaled. Once again the creative spirit of Mary Anne Radmacher is a gift to all who seek courage for both the hard things and the everyday. May readers find what they need in Courage Doesn’t Always Roar, a wisdom book carrying words to help each of us “try again tomorrow.”—Jane Kirkpatrick, NYTimes bestselling author of The Healing of Natalie Curtis”[This book] came to me at a perfect time. I’ve been feeling the universe nudge me towards a bigger vision in my professional life, and this was exactly what i needed to help give me a little more courage to consider taking the next step... Mary Anne’s expansion of her famous poem on courage is an excellent blueprint for navigating change with bravery and success. Step by step, this will lead you to find your life’s greatest potential. Her wisdom, along with advice from some of her greatest influences, creates a guide that normalizes the challenges of practicing courage, gives permission to make mistakes and, most importantly, teaches you how to never give up on becoming your best self. This is the book that you will read, and share with others, again and again.”— Grady Brown, sports coach in Little Rock, AR“Mary Anne’s Courage Doesn’t Always Roar is both career-changing and life-altering. It helps you have a deeper understating of courage—it isn’t just the loudest, biggest, or the first. Courage whispers and roars. It moves fast and knows when to slow down and be methodical. It pushes forward and knows when to turn back. Courage doesn’t always roar… but it is indeed intentional. Mary Anne’s daily inspirations will have you living, or leading, a more intentionally courageous life.”—Robbie Hanson, operations executive and culture consultant, Portland, OR“Courage Doesn’t Always Roar is not a book to be read from front to back and certainly not in one sitting. Each essay asks us to reflect, to question the way we handle and incorporate life’s twists and turns. Surprisingly, many of these essays can be applied to business—decision-making, finding clarity, handling obstacles, evaluating risk. Radmacher has a genius for honing in on the deceptively simple things that lead to consequential results. She clears away the over-complications and disorder of daily life and gently nudges us to examine what we do and why we do it. This collection will help you to see differently, to examine alternatives, and hopefully lead you to raise new questions that challenge the way you courageously navigate this world.”—Barbara Grassey, author and small business marketing strategist”Courage, of course, comes from the French word meaning ‘heart’—and this little book, which is titled from and expounds upon the author’s well-known quotation that courage can simply be the resolve to try again tomorrow—is a wonderful compendium of ideas for how exactly to do that. As its subtitle suggests, author Mary Anne Radmacher takes a wide view of what courage can be and why this quality is so important to cultivate now. Set up to provide daily morsels for inspiration, each of the book‘s 189 short essays ends with a reflection question to deepen your understanding of that day’s focus. Like all of the author’s books, Courage Doesn’t Always Roar is a work of heart—a thoughtful guide that will not only deepen your sense of the possibilities for demonstrating courage in your life, but also deepen your experience of life itself.”—Maggie Oman Shannon, author of Prayers for Healing, Crafting Calm, and Have Hope

This is a personal transformation book rooted in the wisdom of the Enneagram system of personality types. It is a book about waking up and growing into the best version of yourself. It is a book that shows you how to discover who you are and what you can be. It is a book about finding your path, facing your shadow, and discovering your true self. It is a good news-bad news-good news story. The good news: you survived childhood. The bad news: in order to grow, you are going to experience some pain. The really good news: you can use your negative habits as a springboard to move beyond them. With a commitment to self-observation and reflection, you can develop greater self-awareness and open yourself up to a life filled with exciting choices and opportunities. Each of the nine chapters includes these features: The problematic perspective, the process of self-discovery, and the path forward for that type How the main issues for that type get played out in 3 different ways—the 3 distinct sub-types of the main type (necessary for pinpoint accuracy in describing your personality and your path of growth) Chestnut and Paes, two leading Enneagram teachers, frame this approach to personality types in a way that is accessible, practical, and filled with possibility.
