MIND: PSYCHOLOGY, THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736002554

This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the gnawed bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of what you think you know. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, all the best they never told you in school. 362 Pages, 7.5X9, fully illustrated

• The Brain: How experience controls the biology of the brain: Adrenalin, Cortisol, and Neurotransmitters flood the brain in response to words, Hollywood horror movies, anxiety-producing thoughts, and the girls shrieking “Witch, Witch!” at the Salem witch trial...

• Quest for the Mind Code; how the mind is programmed by the environment.

• New Evidence: How learning "hardwires" the brain for language, emotion, culture, sex....

• MInd Control is an everyday occurrence. Psychology’s General Theory of Relativity; Kamikaze pilots, suicide bombers, celebrity, Tank Killing dogs, sex, and Sacred Cows.  

•The success of Genius is not about the brain, it is about learning how to think. How the greatest minds in history made their discoveries, in their own words.

• Cogito, ergo, cogito cogito: I think, therefore, I think, I think. The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think. Test yourself.  Perception determines our reality.

• What the greatest minds in psychology know about how the mind works. Understanding how the mind works gives us the potential to control our own mind, just as Einstein’s understanding of the atom gave us the potential to control the atom. We are far behind in that understanding.

Every Person Has a Story to Tell

  

Every Person Has a Story to Tell

By Dr. Walter R. Hoge

What if a life is not one straight road, but a thousand remembered paths crossing faith, grief, science, ancestry, and wonder?

Every Person Has a Story to Tell opens like a memoir, but it quickly expands into something larger and stranger: a life archive shaped by memory’s unreliability, family legend, spiritual longing, professional reinvention, and the haunting possibility that the most important places we visit may not belong entirely to this world. The book moves through ancestors, frontier histories, veterinary practice, personal losses, philosophical reflections, and a mystical valley that lingers in the author’s soul like an unfinished calling.

At its heart, the book gathers family history, memoir, faith, and reflection into a deeply personal meditation on memory, purpose, and the experiences that shape a life.

Its atmosphere shifts between grounded recollection and visionary experience. One moment, the book is contemplating squirrels, elephants, and the fragile mechanics of human memory; the next, it is standing at the edge of a glowing valley in what feels like a parallel universe, where fear gives way to peace and purpose. That tension gives the book its pulse: the earthly and the eternal, the documented and the imagined, the ordinary life and the life that seems to whisper from just beyond it.

What makes this book stand out is its refusal to separate disciplines that are usually kept apart. Science and religion, memory and myth, family history and personal testimony all occupy the same terrain. The central question is not simply what happened, but what a person does with what happened: how experience becomes meaning, how grief becomes redirection, and how a life can be measured not only by achievement, but by whether it remains open to wonder, service, and a second chance.

Some stories are told to preserve the past; others are told to light the way back to the self.

Southern Hemisphere Folktale Adventure

 

Southern Hemisphere Folktale Adventure

By Kathleen Whitham 

A Space Journey Through the World’s Folktales

What if one tiny spaceship could take young readers around the world through folktales?

Kathleen Whitham’s Southern Hemisphere Folktale Adventure invites young readers into a lively story where imagination, family, and cultural discovery come together in a delightful way.

The adventure begins during a Mother’s Day picnic with Olivia and her cousins, Jack and Wells. What starts as a simple walk into the woods to gather wildflowers soon becomes something far more unexpected. The children discover a terrific tiny spaceship called the Southern Hemisphere Express, and its captain welcomes them aboard for a timeless journey through folktale land.

From there, the story opens into a colorful exploration of stories from Australia, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Kenya, and Southern China. Each stop introduces young readers to a different place, a distinctive voice, and a memorable lesson carried through the tradition of folktales. Through these tales, children encounter animals, legends, challenges, clever characters, and meaningful ideas that encourage curiosity about the wider world.

What makes the book especially engaging is the way it blends adventure with learning. The journey feels playful and imaginative, yet it also gives readers gentle lessons about sharing, courage, planning ahead, respecting nature, accepting challenges, and using one’s gifts for good. These values are introduced through story rather than instruction, making the book approachable for children while still offering thoughtful moments for families, classrooms, and read-aloud settings.

Southern Hemisphere Folktale Adventure celebrates diversity by showing how stories can connect people across cultures. Folktales have long helped communities explain the world, teach important lessons, and pass wisdom from one generation to the next. In Whitham’s book, that tradition becomes accessible to young readers through a warm, family-centered adventure filled with wonder and discovery.

For readers who enjoy children’s books, fairy tales, folk tales, myths, and imaginative journeys, Southern Hemisphere Folktale Adventure offers a meaningful reading experience that is both entertaining and educational.

A tiny spaceship. A world of stories. An adventure where children won’t forget. Where imagination takes flight, every folktale opens a new world.

Welcome to Episode #003 of the Make Peace With Life Podcast: The Angry Episode

In this episode, we get real about something we all experience—anger. If you’re on a journey to make peace with life, does that mean you’re never supposed to feel upset, frustrated, or overwhelmed? Absolutely not. We talk about how these emotions are a natural part of being human and why embracing them—rather than suppressing them—is part of the process. We also dive into the importance of asking for help—something many of us struggle with. Whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional support, reaching out can be one of the most powerful things you do—not just for yourself, but for the people who genuinely want to be there for you. In our Life in the Slow Lane segment, we explore how slowing down isn’t just safer—it’s a reset that can help reduce stress and bring clarity back into your life. To close things out, we take a deeper look at life itself. Are our experiences just small pieces of a much bigger journey? Is anything truly coincidence, or do the connections we make carry meaning? Maybe it’s a little of both—and maybe that’s where the beauty lies. Be sure to visit MakePeaceWithLife.com to check out more podcasts and shortcasts, explore the blog, connect with the community, and find out how you can grab one of the coolest Make Peace With Life shirts for yourself.

What Will Make Peace With Life Do For You?

What if the life you've been searching for isn't waiting somewhere in the future? What if happiness isn't hidden behind a bigger paycheck, a perfect relationship, or some magical moment when everything finally falls into place? In Making Peace With Life, Dr. Rob Alex invites you to step off the endless treadmill of "someday" and discover something far more powerful—the ability to find meaning, purpose, and peace right where you are. Through humor, honesty, personal insight, and metaphysical wisdom, this book helps you see that life isn't something to conquer or perfect. It's something to experience, learn from, and ultimately embrace.

Inside these pages, you'll explore the lessons hidden within life's greatest challenges and its most beautiful moments. You'll discover why there is no finish line to chase, why comparison steals joy, how energy connects us all, and why asking better questions may be more important than finding perfect answers. Whether you're navigating change, searching for direction, recovering from setbacks, or simply trying to understand your place in the world, this book offers a refreshing perspective that reminds you your life already has incredible value. It's not about becoming someone else—it's about understanding the incredible person you already are.

Most self-help books promise to give you answers. Making Peace With Life offers something even more valuable: permission. Permission to breathe when life feels overwhelming. Permission to grow without demanding perfection from yourself. Permission to appreciate your journey without comparing it to everyone else's. And most importantly, permission to make peace with life exactly as it is while still creating the future you desire. If you're ready to stop racing, stop chasing, and start truly living, then this book may be exactly what you've been looking for.

Visions, Values, and Virtual Assistants; AI needs you more than you need to fear it

     

Visions, Values, and Virtual Assistants;

AI needs you more than you need to fear it

The freight train of AI is moving at terminal velocity. Are you steering it, or just sitting on the tracks?

In the rush to capture short-term margins, organizations are deploying Virtual Assistants as digital walls, unintentionally eroding the very brand equity they spent decades building. When a customer is trapped in an automated loop, or a grieving family member is "processed" by a bot, the cost isn't just a lost call—it’s a lost soul for the brand.

In Visions, Values, and Virtual Assistants, Dr. Kendall Williams provides a scientist-practitioner’s roadmap for the Dual-Environment. Drawing on over 20 years of operational leadership and a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, this book moves beyond the hype to offer a framework for Human-in-the-Loop automation.

This book will help you: • Move from fear to confidence in the age of AI. • Lead your team through AI-driven change without losing their trust. • Identify which parts of your job make you irreplaceable. • Recognize when AI helps your customers, and when it doesn’t. • Identify which customer interactions should never be handed to a bot.
