Voice Lessons for Parents: What to Say, How to Say it, and When to Listen
by Wendy MogelRenowned speaker, parenting expert, and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Wendy Mogel offers an essential guide to the new art of talking to children, showing how a change in tone and demeanor can transform the relationship between parent and child.Most parents are perfectly fine communicators—unless they’re talking to their children. Then, too often, their pitch rises and they come across as pleading, indignant, wounded, outraged. In tone and body language they signal, I can’t handle it when you act like a child. Dr. Wendy Mogel saw this pattern time and again in her clinical practice. In response, she developed a remarkably effective series of “voice lessons,” which she shared with parents who were struggling with their kids. The results were immediate: a shift in vocal style led to children who were calmer, listened more attentively, and communicated with more warmth, respect, and sincerity. In Voice Lessons for Parents, Mogel elaborates on her novel clinical approach, revealing how each age and stage of a child’s life brings new opportunities to connect through language. Drawing from sources as diverse as neuroscience, fairy tales, and anthropology, Mogel offers specific guidance for talking to children across the expanse of childhood and adolescence. She also explains the best ways to talk about your child to partners, exes, and grandparents, as well as to teachers, coaches, and caretakers. Throughout the book, Mogel addresses an obstacle that bedevils even the most seasoned and confident parent: the distraction of digital devices, how they impact our connection with our families, and what we can do about it. Mogel’s now classic book, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee, is a beloved resource for a generation of parents. Voice Lessons for Parents brings her unique brand of practical wisdom to harried parents eager to deepen their relationships with their kids. “Children will lead you on an incredible journey,” writes Mogel, “if they trust you, if you take the time, and if you’re willing to follow.”
Voice of Business: The Man Who Transformed the United States Chamber of Commerce
by Dave Scheiber Richard LesherFrom small-town life to the world stage, Richard Lesher’s inspiring tale is one of dogged determination. The son of an alcoholic and violent father in Depression-era Pennsylvania, Lesher worked his way through school, eventually overseeing NASA’s vital technological transfer program during the race to the moon. His greatest achievement, however, was serving as president of the US Chamber of Commerce from the Ford through the Clinton administrations. Working closely with the presidents—especially Reagan—he modernized the Chamber over 22 years and dramatically expanded its national and international outreach. Believing strongly in the power of the free enterprise system, Lesher became a key voice and agent of economic change in former communist countries in the 1990s. Respected and admired by presidents, officials, and world leaders on both the left and right, Lesher has lived a hopeful and uniquely American story, a remarkable testament to personal perseverance and the ever-present opportunities in a free society.

The Voice of Knowledge: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace (A Toltec Wisdom Book)
by Don Miguel Ruiz Janet MillsFrom the bestselling author of The Four AgreementsIn The Voice of Knowledge, Miguel Ruiz reminds us of a profound and simple truth: The only way to end our emotional suffering and restore our joy in living is to stop believing in lies — mainly about ourselves. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, this breakthrough book shows us how to recover our faith in the truth and return to our own common sense. Ruiz changes the way we perceive ourselves, and the way we perceive other people. Then he opens the door to a reality that we once perceived when we were one and two years old — a reality of truth, love, and joy."We are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. . . . One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection." — don Miguel Ruiz
The Voice of Rolling Thunder: A Medicine Man’s Wisdom for Walking the Red Road
by Sidian Morning Jones Stanley KrippnerRolling Thunder’s life and wisdom in his own words and from interviews with those who knew him well • Contains never-before-released talks by Rolling Thunder preserved by the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart as well as accounts of remarkable healings and weather magic from famous personalities who knew him • Explains that in order to heal Nature’s afflictions we must first restore balance and unity in ourselves Intertribal medicine man Rolling Thunder (1916-1997) was a healer, teacher, visionary, and activist who rose to popularity in the 1960s and ’70s through his friendship with artists such as Bob Dylan and as the inspiration for the Billy Jack films. Eyewitness accounts of his remarkable healings are legion, as are those of his ability to call forth the forces of nature, typically in the form of thunder clouds. Yet it was his equally uncommon gift as a prophet and living representative of Native American wisdom that truly set him apart from other spiritual teachers of that era. Thirty years before most people had ever heard of global warming, Rolling Thunder described in graphic detail the signs of encroaching planetary doom and campaigned for environmental harmony. The key to healing nature’s afflictions, he maintained, is to first restore balance and unity in ourselves. Containing never-before-released talks preserved by the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, this book shares the teachings of Rolling Thunder in his own words and through inspiring interviews with psychologist Alberto Villoldo and other famous personalities who knew him. Collected and edited by his grandson Sidian Morning Star Jones and longtime friend Stanley Krippner, this book allows you to incorporate Rolling Thunder’s wisdom into your own life.

Volveos a mí: Un llamado urgente de parte de Dios
by Miguel NúñezEn Volveos a mí, el Dr. Miguel Núñez presenta de qué manera a lo largo de la historia redentora el pueblo de Dios se ha rebelado contra el mismo Dios que le ha traído la libertad, y cómo Dios, en medio de la infidelidad de Su pueblo, ha permanecido fiel y ha hecho todos los esfuerzos posibles para llamar a Su pueblo de regreso a Su presencia. Desde que Dios formó la nación de Israel miles de años atrás, la tendencia del pueblo de Dios ha sido alejarse de manera recurrente de su Creador y Redentor para volverse a sus malos caminos. Por otro lado, ha sido siempre el deseo de Dios de llamar a Su pueblo de regreso a Él, reconociendo que, alejados de Él, cosecharán grandes y destructivas consecuencias; y solamente en la cercanía con Él pueden experimentar Sus bendiciones. Cada uno de los capítulos de este libro considera diferentes momentos de la historia redentora donde el pueblo de Dios se había alejado y donde Dios le llamó de regreso a Su presencia.&“Volveos a mí&” es una frase que aparece en Zacarías 1:3 donde Dios dice lo siguiente: &“Diles, pues: &‘Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: &“Volveos a mí&” —declara el Señor de los ejércitos— y yo me volveré a vosotros&” —dice el Señor de los ejércitos. . .&” En este versículo se ve el corazón de un Dios que desea tener comunión con Su pueblo para poderle instruir, dirigir, proteger y bendecir. Return to MeIn Return to Me, Dr. Miguel Núñez presents how throughout redemptive history God's people have rebelled against the very God who has brought them freedom, and how God, in the midst of His people's unfaithfulness, has remained faithful and made every effort to call His people back to His presence. Since God formed the nation of Israel thousands of years ago, the tendency of God's people has been to repeatedly turn away from their Creator and Redeemer and turn back to their wicked ways. On the other hand, it has always been God's desire to call His people back to Him, recognizing that, separated from Him, they will reap great and destructive consequences; and only in closeness to Him can they experience His blessings. Each of the chapters of this book considers different moments in redemptive history where God's people had fallen away and where God called them back into His presence.&“Return to me&” is a phrase that appears in Zechariah 1:3 where God says the following: &“Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, &“Return to Me,&” declares the LORD of hosts, &“and I will return to you,&” says the LORD of hosts . . .&” In this verse we see the heart of a God who desires to commune with His people so that He can instruct, direct, protect, and bless them.
Volver a casa: Guía para acompañar en el final de la vida
by Mariana JacobsMariana Jacobs, psicóloga especializada en cuidados paliativos, presenta una guía para acompañar en el final de la vida. A partir de su formación profesional, pero sobre todo basada en su experiencia con pacientes terminales y sus familias, nos acerca en estas páginas un soporte, un apoyo y un mapa que ayuda a navegar este momento tan trascendental. ¿Cómo se acompaña a alguien en el tramo final de su vida? ¿Qué debemos priorizar y planificar? ¿Cómo hablamos de estos temas con los niños? ¿Y con la persona enferma? Con profunda sensibilidad, Mariana Jacobs responde a estas y otras preguntas con la certeza de que no hay mejor manera de acercarse a lo desconocido que con un puñado de verdades y un mapa para guiar el camino. Acompañar a morir es una experiencia intensa. Difícil y, por momentos, desoladora. También puede ser una oportunidad potente y única de encuentro, contemplación y celebración de una vida. A raíz de la inmensa desinformación que existe sobre estos temas, en este segundo libro Jacobs busca transmitir esperanza, amor y una mirada pragmática y a la vez espiritual sobre la muerte, y brindar herramientas eficaces para llevar con entereza el momento: Entregate a estar presente ahí con quien acompañás a morir. Quien se va está regresando al lugar de donde vino al nacer, regresa a una dimensión que aún no podemos abordar ni comprender. Sin embargo, en la medida en que te sea posible, descansá en la confianza plena de que quien se va, simplemente, está volviendo a casa.
Volver a correr: El running y el potencial para una vida plena. El año en que todo se detuvo. Y la emoción de regresar.
by Santiago GarcíaEl nuevo libro de Santiago García, referente del running en la Argentina, propone una guía para retomar esta disciplina que no para de crecer, tras la pausa impuesta por la pandemia y el confinamiento, atento a las ansiedades de esta época. ¿Cómo que volver a correr? ¿Cuándo dejamos de hacerlo? En 2020 el mundo sufrió un frenazo; los relojes se detuvieron y durante un tiempo hubo que parar. Poner en pausa nuestro bienestar físico y emocional. Nunca habíamos tenido que esperar tanto para hacer lo que más amamos. La vuelta fue un proceso accidentado pero imprescindible para quienes no imaginamos una vida sin correr. Y entonces nuestros pies se encontraron otra vez frente a la línea de largada, nuestro corazón latiendo con fuerza: por lo que estaba por venir, sí, pero también por todo lo que atravesamos para regresar. Volver significa entonces muchas cosas: volver a entrenar y a competir, recuperar la fuente de nuestra salud, energía y felicidad, reencontrarnos con los amigos para fundirnos en un abrazo y también reconectar con nosotros mismos. Fortalecido por la experiencia, Santiago García, el mayor referente del running en la Argentina, narra los aprendizajes de esta etapa difícil, de cara a los tiempos que vienen, para los que vuelven y, como siempre, para los que quieren empezar. Cada uno sabe el camino que ha recorrido hasta aquí, nos dice García. Llegó el momento de salir, de viajar, de ser felices. Llegó la hora de volver a correr.
