A Place of Yes: 10 Rules for Getting Everything You Want Out of Life
by Bethenny Frankel Eve AdamsonThe New York Times bestselling author of Naturally Thin and The Skinnygirl Dish, Bethenny Frankel takes us on an empowering journey to A PLACE OF YES BETHENNY FRANKEL'S no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is personality won over countless fans, and made her a nationally bestselling author and the star of her own hit Bravo show Bethenny Getting Married? Now Bethenny opens up and shares the obstacles she overcame and the great success she has enjoyed while discovering how to approach life from "A Place of Yes." Bethenny's path was not always clear as she overcame a difficult childhood, failed relationships, entrepreneurial efforts that never quite got off the ground, and lifelong money struggles. To deal with these challenges, Bethenny developed ten rules for pursuing her goals with authenticity and drive, including: FIND YOUR TRUTH: Dig deep inside and figure out what is authentic for you, not anybody else. ACT ON IT: You don't have to have a master plan. But unless you do something, you've done nothing. EVERYTHING'S YOUR BUSINESS: Treat every job, person, and experience as if it could lead to your next big opportunity. OWN IT: If you do it, say it, think it--then own it. Stand up for yourself and fully acknowledge who you really are. Each rule is illustrated with compelling, sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous examples that are pure Bethenny. It's easy to say no, to say "I can't," to expect the worst, and to doubt yourself. But your life can be better than "not bad" or "good enough." It can be amazing. And by putting Bethenny's rules together, you can use them to be more successful, more fulfilled, healthier, and happier than ever before.

Ageless Women, Timeless Wisdom: Witty, Wicked, and Wise Reflections on Well-Lived Lives
by Dr Lois Frankel Lisa GravesFrom New York Times–bestselling author: “A book to share with every woman in your family” honoring the wisdom and spirit of older women (Evelyn Champagne King). These women have lived decades raising children, caring for husbands, and creating nests out of which children fly to be productive members of society. Often being forced to observe more than participate in the events around them, they have unique insights that can help future generations not merely survive, but thrive. In Ageless Women, Timeless Wisdom, Dr. Lois Frankel gives center stage to these wise women. From Los Angeles, California, to Shanghai, China, women aged seventy and older share thoughts and stories that are heartwarming and hilarious; insightful and witty; philosophical and practical: “When life gives you lemons,” says Jo-Ann Mercurio, born in 1941, “add vodka.” This book, with lovely illustrations by Lisa Graves, is an important record of women’s reflections on lives well lived. It is sure to be passed from grandmother to daughter to granddaughter. “I love this book! Wisdom and wit worth remembering and sharing.” —Josh Berman, creator and executive producer, Drop Dead Diva and CSI “It would be a shame if the humor and inspiration from these wise women was lost. Dr. Lois captured their spirits . . . This is truly a good read.” —Evelyn Champagne King “It’s about time for a book like this. For too long the wisdom of older women has gone unnoticed, unappreciated, and undervalued . . . Sure to put a smile on your face and the faces of the women you share it with.” —Rita Coolidge

by Estelle FrankelA deeply affirming exploration of the challenges and possibilities of the unknown--with meditations and exercises that can help transform the fear and uncertainty of "not knowing" into a sense of openness, curiosity, and bravery.For most of us the unknown is both friend and foe. At times it can be a source of paralyzing fear and uncertainty, and at other times it can be a starting point for transformation, creativity, and growth. The unknown is a deep current that runs throughout all religions and mystical traditions, and it is also the nexus of contemporary psychotherapeutic thought and practice and a key element in all personal growth and healing. In The Wisdom of Not Knowing, psychotherapist Estelle Frankel shows us that our psychological, emotional, and spiritual health is radically influenced by how comfortable we are at navigating the unknown and uncertain dimensions of our lives.Drawing on insights from Kabbalah, depth psychology, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and ancient myth, Frankel explores how we can grow our souls by tapping into the wisdom of not knowing. She also includes case studies of individuals who have grappled with their fears of the unknown and, as a result, have come out wiser, stronger, and more resilient. Each chapter includes experiential exercises and/or meditations for befriending the unknown. These exercises help convey how we must be willing to "not know" in order to gain knowledge and be able to bear uncertainty so we can be free to enjoy a healthy sense of adventure and curiosity.

How to Survive Your First Job or Any Job
by Ricki FrankelIn this informational and necessary book, hundreds of gainfully employed young people detail their experiences launching their careers. They offer real-world tips and advice on looking for and landing a first job, doing well at work, and simply hanging in there.

Children, Morality and Society
by Sam FrankelChildren and questions of moral behaviour are prominent social discourses. Adult attitudes towards children and their recognition of right and wrong impact upon society deeply, shaping the ways in which we think about children's participation, their citizenship and how they are 'governed' within the community. But upon what basis are such practices and policies built and how do they reflect the reality of social life for children? This work argues that much of society's thinking in relation to children and questions around social behaviour are linked to misplaced assumptions that are routed in views from the past. However, it is by engaging with children though a sociological perspective that it becomes clear that morality is not something that just happens to children but is part of their everyday lives. By drawing on empirical research this book highlights the extent to which children engage with questions of morality as they seek to navigate the complexities of the social world around them, arguing that children should be seen as active members of society with both the capacity and understanding to grapple with discourses of morality.

Subliminal Leadership: Why It Is as Important as Emotional Intelligence
by Thomas FranklUnderstanding the power of subliminal influence makes or breaks leaders. What is it that subliminally motivates people to give their best, not just what’s in their job description? How do you build an outstanding team? (Spoiler: it’s not just by putting the best people in a team.) The answer lies in the power of subliminal influence. This book explains in a clear and accessible way this important, yet little known and understood, area of psychology and leadership. As Emotional Intelligence helped managers and leaders to understand the importance of empathy in the workplace, Subliminal Leadership takes us to the next level by explaining how influence through non-verbal communication mostly happens below the threshold of our conscious awareness: subliminal forms of body language and communication which influence other people's attitudes, thinking and behavior – and which may boost, or undermine a leader's authority, the performance of teams or the quality of key customer relationships. Readers will learn how we unconsciously communicate and how we positively or negatively influence other people in the process. Understanding subliminal influence will help people in, or aspiring towards, leadership positions to build trust, understand others’ emotions, make better decisions, and strengthen professional relationships. Based on recent scientific research in disciplines as diverse as psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, medicine, neuroscience, and management studies, the book offers a breakthrough, multidisciplinary approach to influence and leadership. This book is for everyone interested in the psychological, biological, and medical dimensions of leadership.

He explains how we can create meaning for ourselves and, ultimately, he reveals how life has more to offer us than we could ever imagine.

I Can Always Continue
by Franklin A. Díaz LárezThe loss of a loved one is, perhaps, one of the greatest adversities that can be experienced. Grief and recovery are individual, personal, unique processes in each one. An instruction manual cannot be established to find a way out of pain when it is so intimate and exclusive. However, knowledge of other people's experiences can serve as a guide, as an orientation towards the exit path. This book is about that. It contains a vast collection of experiences of people who have gone through the loss of a loved one, or similar situations, and have emerged strengthened. It explains what human beings represent the notions of the past, present and future, and their close connection with the particular way in which some assume negative emotions and feelings. It develops extensively what are the notions of grief, its phases and duration. It explains in detail what meditation is, accompanying it with a wide range of mental and body relaxation exercises, very useful and effective in overcoming situations of bodily stress and / or mental depression. It exposes the notion of "resilience" and the fundamental characteristics of resilient people, accompanied by true examples of individuals considered resilient with their example stories and self-improvement. In the same way, it exposes the way in which the approaches of the so-called "Neurolinguistic Programming" can help to overcome difficult and traumatic situations and memories. It contains a large list of recommended books to overcome the duel effectively, with its explanatory synopsis.
Posso sempre andare avanti
by Franklin A. Díaz LárezLa perdita di una persona cara è forse una delle peggiori avversità che si possano affrontare. Il lutto e il superamento sono processi individuali, personali, diversi per ognuno. Non si può stabilire un manuale d'istruzioni per trovare la via d'uscita al dolore, dato che si tratta di qualcosa di intimo e personale. Tuttavia, conoscere esperienze simili di altre persone può servire come guida, come orientamento verso la via d'uscita. È questo l'argomento del libro. Contiene un'ampia raccolta di esperienze di persone che hanno affrontato la perdita di una persona cara, o una situazione simile, e che ne sono uscite più forti. Spiega cosa rappresentano per l'essere umano le nozioni di passato, presente e futuro, e il loro stretto legame con il modo in cui alcune persone percepiscono le emozioni e i sentimenti negativi. Parla ampiamente del lutto, delle sue fasi e della durata di ciascuna di esse. Spiega in modo dettagliato cos'è la meditazione, e suggerisce un'ampia varietà di esercizi di rilassamento mentale e corporale, molto utili ed efficaci per superare situazioni di stress corporale e/o di abbattimento mentale. Espone la nozione di "resilienza" e le caratteristiche fondamentali delle persone resilienti, e racconta le storie vere di molte persone considerate resilienti. Allo stesso modo, spiega come la cosiddetta "programmazione neurolinguistica" può essere d'aiuto per superare situazioni e ricordi difficili e traumatici. Contiene una lunga lista di libri, con tanto di sinossi, consigliati per superare il lutto in modo efficace.
