New Era Publications International APS Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health
Book SynopsisAre we thinking too much and living too little? Why are we missing out on so much of our life? Dianetics has some answers you may have been looking for. Many of us are aware that the worries, doubts and reservations in our own mind are more often than not the greatest obstacles to the fulfilling life we so much desire. It seems that our thoughts are not truly free - with many of them stemming from an emotional and subconscious level that can fix our attention and pull us down. What if you could free your thoughts and shed their weight and pain from your own mind? This is what Dianetics is about. What triggers our thinking? What is the mind really? What is the source of stress? Dianetics is the breakthrough that has enabled us to understand for the first time how our thinking works - consciously and subconsciously. Dianetics includes a practical approach that makes it possible to remove these stumbling blocks and actually experience a resurgence of life energy and positivity that makes a noticeable difference in a person's happiness and success. Reading the book alone and understanding the simple logic behind the seemingly complex structure of the mind gives a completely new perspective in life. Based on observation and discoveries, Dianetics goes beyond theory and describes an easy-to-use method to free your mind from this burden. The application is what produces a real change, and what sets this book apart from others. The practical success made Dianetics an international bestseller, with 22 Million copies sold and translated into 53 languages.

Simon & Schuster Dead Set on Living
Book SynopsisSynopsis coming soon.......Trade Review“Chris’s books have been a significant source of inspiration in my own healing journey, and his newest work, Dead Set On Living, is no exception. Anyone looking for something real; something raw, ragged and authentic won’t be disappointed. I believe anyone who reads Chris’s honest and unabashed words will truly benefit. This is very, very real shit.” -- Bam Margera, Professional Skateboarder, actor (Jackass/CKY), and musician (Evesdroppers)“Dead Set on Living offers a deep, intimate look at why we continued disparaging ourselves. This is essential reading for anyone looking to finally break the ruthless cycle.” -- Richard Rohr, OFM, Founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation"Chris Grosso's Dead Set on Living is an awesome work, the totally honest account of a man seeking the realities of life and death, compassion and indifference, sorrow and joy—as if they really mattered. He tells his own moving story, holding nothing back, consults with many amazing people who work with depression, addiction, etc., and shares with us his process of integrating their teachings and advice in a vivid and beautiful way. If you and your loved one’s struggle with life in an existential way, you will love this noble book—it will bring you courage and many blessings." -- Robert A.F. Thurman, author of Man of Peace: The Illustrated Life Story of the Dalai Lama of TibetChris Grosso is a Warrior of the Heart. With humility, honesty and courage AS his weapons, he does battle with the shadows in the dark corners of our hearts. -- Krishna Das, Grammy Nominated Kirtan Musician"This inspiring compendium of spiritual friends can guide us as we navigate the way through our own hell toward the light of love." -- Alex Grey & Allyson Grey, Visionary Artists“Chris Grosso like myself is a searcher. He is on a quest. He is thirsty. For what you might ask? Wisdom! It is so rare these days to want to know truth, that people who seek it are thought of as odd. Out of the norm, or naive. Hunter once said "when the going gets weird, the weird go pro." We are well beyond weird now. We are in the twilight zone of reality. We need the Chris Grosso's of the world to tell us what they've seen n where we are. Read it!” -- Bob Forrest, author of Running with Monsters, TV Personality (Celebrity Rehab/Sober House)“Chris Grosso comes at us with a deeply intense and personal sharing of his life journey reminding us that you don't have to be a goody-two shoes to seek goodness and a spiritual life. It is often working through our darkest depths that we learn to become the light. Laying out some really easy practices we can all apply to our daily lives and advice from notable teachers of all lineages for all levels, this is a must read.” -- Jessica Pimentel, actress Orange Is The New Black, Tibetan Buddhist, and singer of Alekhine's GunWhat a read! What a ride! Chris Grosso shares his journey and brings in a team of others who tell the truth, give us hope, light and direction. This is spirituality in action. Thank you for this valuable contribution. -- Raghunath (aka Ray Cappo) International yoga teacher, speaker and singer of Youth of Today and Shelter “Chris Grosso seamlessly blends the ideas of individuality and spirituality in a way that is selfless, easy to read, and inspiring. He can help you find a purpose and be proud of yourself.” -- Tony Hawk, skateboarding icon"By sharing his life’s journey, Chris Grosso shines a light on our own." -- Jeff Bridges, Academy Award®-winning actor“Dead Set On Living, gets down to earth in dialogues that bring light to depression, addiction, and journeys through the dark night of the Spirit. Chris Grosso is an authentic voice of a new generation of meditation teachers. If you’re ready for a book that does not shy away from important issues that are not often addressed by spiritual teachers, read this one.” -- Loch Kelly, Author of Shift Into Freedom: The Science and Practice of Open-Hearted AwarenessChris Grosso comes from a place of compassion to bring hope to people who are suffering. He’s been through it all and the result is a quality of empathy that makes Dead Set on Living such a valuable book. We need a fresh view on the way to recover and this remarkable gathering of voices from all sorts of perspectives—traditional to innovative to experimental—opens myriad doors to integrated healing as it guides readers toward their individual path to wholeness. I've personally seen Chris work with many of the young adults at one of my facilities over the last three years and he has a special way of making deep and authentic connections quickly. I believe this book will create a similar experience with its readers.” -- Jamison Monroe, Founder and CEO of Newport Youth Rehabilitation FacilityChris Grosso has assembled a team to help aid in solving the addiction crisis in America. It's not a new Drug Czar, and expensive ad campaign aimed at the youth, or resuscitating the half century long War on Drugs. The solution is an integrated treatment plan in which each individual is a participant in their own inner and outer healing. We have suffered too long through the darkness and despair of mental illness, trauma, material craving, and spiritual emptiness. Thankfully a new recovery community has surfaced with a road map to personal and social wholeness. -- Eben Sterling, Thrasher Magazine, practicing yogi, recovered addict of twenty-one years“Chris Grosso is an honest and engaging young teacher and his work is both clearly expressed and inspiring.” -- Andrew Harvey, bestselling author of The Hope"You awaken your True spirit by way of the broken heart: ragged, vulnerable, fierce and finally compassionate. Chris trod this rough way and shows honestly how it can be done." -- Jack Kornfield, bestselling author of A Path With Heart“It is too easy to assume that America’s young rockers and hipsters are all casually nihilistic, but Grosso taps into the deep yearning for authentic spirituality—questions allowed.” * Library Journal *“[Grosso] writes with refreshing wit and candor, deeply and broadly reflecting on what it means to be human, personally and collectively.” * Publishers Weekly *"This book is priceless because of the sheer volume of information and techniques included... This is a primer on how to deal with the stress and discomfort inherent in being human." -- Dana Gornall * The Tattooed Buddha *

Simon & Schuster Bow Down: Lessons from Dominatrixes on How to Be
Book Synopsis*One of Glamour’s Best Books of 2020* Popular podcast host and personal finance expert Lindsay Goldwert explores what professional dominatrixes can teach us about confidence, power, and happiness.Imagine, for a moment, a world where the usual power dynamic is turned on its head. Where women not only stop apologizing, but seize—and enjoy—control. This is the quickly mainstreaming world of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism)—and it has a lot to teach women about empowerment, negotiation, open-mindedness, and more. Journalist Lindsay Goldwert, intrigued by this seismic cultural shift, traveled across the United States to meet the stars of the subculture, who spoke frankly with her about their lives and work. In this “lively, funny, thoughtful channeling of wisdom” (Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs), these Alpha women show you how you can reset the power dynamic in any situation to get what you want—whether it’s from a husband, a boss, or partner. They share strategies for revolutionizing not only your sex life, but your career, your relationships, and most importantly, your inner foundations. With bondage gear popping up on the big screen, the runway, the red carpet, and in celebrity lingerie lines, BDSM is officially moving out of the dungeon and into the sun. Let Bow Down help you learn how to use it. “Whether your fantasies lie in the bedroom or the boardroom, Lindsay will give you the courage to go forth and dominate.” (Sarah Cooper, author of How to Be Successful without Hurting Men’s Feelings).Trade Review"Lindsay Goldwert goes where many of us haven't gone before! After reading her lively, funny, thoughtful channeling of wisdom from BDSM workers across the nation, your life will be a little less vanilla. Gentle reader, prepare for armchair travel at its naughtiest and most illuminating. And get ready to have a hell of a lot of fun." —Sara Benincasa, author of Agorafabulous! Dispatches from My Bedroom and Real Artists Have Day Jobs"If you're like me and consider yourself a total prude, this book will make you realize how much you've been missing. Whether your fantasies lie in the bedroom or the boardroom, Lindsay will give you the courage to go forth and dominate." —Sarah Cooper, author of How to Be Successful without Hurting Men's Feelings

Morgan James Publishing llc Infosec Rock Star: How to Accelerate Your Career
Book SynopsisHave you noticed that some people in infosec simply have more success than others, however they may define success? Some people are simply more listened too, more prominent, make more of a difference, have more flexibility with work, more freedom, choices of the best projects, and yes, make more money. They are not just lucky. They make their luck. The most successful are not necessarily the most technical, although technical or "geek" skills are essential. They are an absolute must, and we naturally build technical skills through experience. They are essential, but not for Rock Star level success. The most successful, the Infosec Rock Stars, have a slew of other equally valuable skills, ones most people never develop nor even understand. They include skills such as self direction, communication, business understanding, leadership, time management, project management, influence, negotiation, results orientation, and lots more . . . Infosec Rock Star will start you on your journey of mastering these skills and the journey of moving toward Rock Star status and all its benefits. Maybe you think you can’t be a Rock Star, but everyone can MOVE towards it and reap the benefits of vastly increased success. Remember, “Geek” will only get you so far . . .

The School of Life Press Arguments
Book SynopsisAn average couple will have between thirty and fifty significant arguments a year - and yet we’re seldom taught very much about why they happen and how they could grow a little less intense. This is a guide to arguments in love: it teaches us why they might occur, what their symptoms are, how we could learn some wiser ways of communicating and how we would ideally patch up after a fight. The book looks at twenty of the most common arguments - including ones about sex, money, in-laws, who is ‘cold’ and who is ‘over-emotional’ and the state of the bathroom and the finances. We recognise our own antics but also pick up consoling and wise ideas on how to skirt certain conflicts going forward. The tragedy of every sorry argument is that it is constructed around a horrific mismatch between the message we so badly want to send (‘I need you to love me, know me, agree with me’) and the manner in which we are able to deliver it (with impatient accusations, sulks, put-downs, sarcasm, exaggerated gesticulations and forceful ‘f *** yous’). A bad argument is a failed endeavour to communicate; this is a definitive guide to how we might argue better. ‘The priority is not so much to avoid points of contention as to learn to handle them in less counterproductively vindictive and more gently strategic ways. We need a lot help in order in order to acquire the complex art of converting our poisonous arguments into effective and compassionate dialogues.’

Octopus Publishing Group Five Minutes in the Evening: A Journal for Rest and Reflection
The evening is a naturally reflective time of the day, when thoughts can end up going round and round in your head, landing on worst-case scenarios and interpretations. Five Minutes in the Evening is a guided journal designed to help you integrate any emotions experienced or discoveries made during the day and reflect on how you are feeling through the practice of journaling. The mere act of putting your thoughts onto paper can slow them down enough to allow you to consider them calmly rather than feeling consumed or overwhelmed by them.The human brain has a tendency to lean toward negative thinking, and so a few minutes of evening journaling is a very helpful tool for developing more positive mental habits. Focusing on gratitude has been shown to increase a person's sense of wellbeing and optimism, and describing the sensations associated with an activity you enjoy, such as how you feel in nature or while chatting to a good friend, offers similar benefits to the activity itself - your body will begin to feel the calm, grounded sensations that you feel in nature, or the sense of connection that you have while talking with a friend. Journaling is an excellent practice for clearing the clutter of your day and your mind. Simply writing down all the to-do lists that are floating around in your head, making you worried, can feel like a great relief. Many of the prompts and practices in this journal are based on the theme of letting go, as so many of us have a natural tendency to hold on to thoughts and mental or emotional baggage that are no longer serving us. In today's busy world, it can also be helpful to dedicate a few minutes at the end of the day to doing less, to allow your energy to settle in preparation for restful sleep and to consider what really matters to you.

Oneworld Publications Head in the Cloud: Dispatches from a Post-Fact
Book SynopsisNever before have we had so much information at our fingertips. You might think that we are better-informed than ever, but there’s one thing we can’t ask Google: ‘What should I be googling?’ The way we consume information in the digital age has been blamed for driving political polarisation and leaving us unable to agree on basic facts. It’s also making us stupider. Personalised news feeds and social media echo chambers narrow our potential knowledge base. By now, we don’t even know what we don’t know. In Head in the Cloud, William Poundstone investigates the true worth of knowledge. An entertaining manifesto underpinned by big data analysis and illustrated by eye-opening anecdotes, it reveals the surprising benefits of broadening your horizons and provides an unnerving look at the consequences of being ill-informed.Trade Review‘Thought-provoking.’ -- Tim Harford, Financial Times‘A lot of fun.’ * Book Riot *‘True fact: people who read Poundstone’s extraordinary books are smarter (and happier) than people who don’t.’ -- Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception‘Hilarious, humbling and brutally honest.’ * E&T Magazine *
