Book SynopsisWhen interacting with Gen-Zers, whether you be their parent, teacher, coach, relative, neighbor, or anything in between, the generational divide can seem larger than ever. Gen-Zers ignore you, they refuse to turn on their Zoom cameras, they procrastinate, they make strange jokes, they have short attention spans, and they take so many selfies. But that isn’t all there is to Generation Z. What Would Gen-Z Do? will help you reach across the generational divide and learn how to navigate your relationships with Gen-Zers. In this guide to everything Gen-Z, John Schlimm, Harvard-trained educator and Gen-Z advocate, uses his extensive experience in working with the younger generation to offer some insight for anyone who’s navigating the Gen-Z universe. In 51 chapters, you’ll find quick, relatable lessons and activity ideas that crush the stereotypes and stigmas of Generation Z and shed light on who your Gen-Zers really are—intelligent, compassionate, courageous, and honest future leaders. Love them, appreciate them, and encourage them to rock on!Trade Review“Being the first Gen-Zer to visit space, I realize that my generation will bring many new possibilities to the world. Much will change from technologies to how we look at each other. What Would Gen-Z Do? describes and predicts how this will affect everyone and everything around us. For older generations especially, this book will act as a guideline for how to communicate with me and all the other Gen-Zers.” - Oliver Daemen, First Gen-Zer in Space, Blue Origin NS-16 “John Schlimm is undoubtedly right that Gen-Z will prove to be the most influential and impactful generation in history. Coming from an earlier generation, I’m grateful for this holistic look at Gen-Z mindsets and belief systems. What Would Gen-Z Do? will be my guide!” - Patrick Moore, Director, The Andy Warhol Museum "Having my own Gen-Zer, I can attest that John Schlimm is spot on about this generation of young people: they are resilient, multi-layered, and often misunderstood. That’s why his new book, What Would Gen-Z Do?, is a must-have guidebook for anyone who parents, teaches, mentors, coaches, or loves a Gen-Zer and wants to understand them better. And in typical Schlimm style, it’s not only accessible and creative but also full of heart.” - Lory Hough, Editor, Harvard Ed. magazine "As a psychiatrist who regularly interacts with Gen-Zers, I can confidently state that John Schlimm hits the nail on the head in What Would Gen-Z Do? with his insight surrounding their ability to smash stereotypes. As a society, particularly in the mental health arena, we owe a lot to the Gen-Zers and their ability to acknowledge the existence of mental illness and promote treatment. Keep up the great work, Gen-Z and John!" - Micah T. Hoffman, MD, DABPN, FAPA, QME, CIME, Behavioral Health Medical Director, Allmed Healthcare Management

Book SynopsisIn this profound book, based on a popular audio program, Dr. David Hawkins gives a primer on his world-famous map of consciousness that will help the reader embark on their own journey to an advanced state of consciousness.Dr. Hawkins’s research is based on a well-established science called kinesiology, which has to do with the testing of an all-or-none muscle response stimulus. A positive stimulus generates a strong muscle response, and a negative stimulus results in a demonstrable weakening of the test muscle. Clinical kinesiological muscle testing as a diagnostic technique has been verified widely over the past 25 years.David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D, conducted a 29-year study that demonstrated that the human body becomes stronger or weaker depending on a person’s mental state. He created a scale from 1 to 1,000 that mapped human consciousness. Furthermore, he demonstrated that this map can be used as a blueprint to reach higher states of consciousness that can be identified simply by applying a small amount of pressure on an outstretched arm!Not only that, but this simple method has also been demonstrated to be an effective tool for instantly calibrating human consciousness. Dr. Hawkins created a scale of consciousness based on current discoveries in advanced theoretical physics and the nonlinear dynamics of chaos theory. And this “map of consciousness” now makes it possible for anyone to advance toward higher levels of enlightenment faster than ever imagined!In this book, you’ll learn how to: Advance your level of consciousness and your understanding of human behavior, just by learning the map of consciousness. Gain instant access to information that is beyond the capacity of all the world’s computers. Detect the exact point in any complex system where the least effort brings about the greatest result. Understand the power of a simple attitude adjustment as well as the consequences of various emotional states. Learn how people who calibrate high on the map of consciousness can raise the energy level and calibration of thousands of others just by being in their presence! Heal yourself of illness or addiction by reaching the state of consciousness in which it vanishes. Learn which foods, environments, companies, books, etc., are harmful (low energy) and which are beneficial (high energy). And much more!
