Challenge Your Never-Enough ThinkingThe idea that we aren’t enough is so deeply ingrained in us and into our culture that it holds sway over pretty much every aspect of our lives. But author and activist Laurie McCammon is here to tell us that it’s all a lie. YOU are enough exactly as you are, and it is only in realizing this truth that we unlock our ability to make our world a better place.Believe in yourself. Do you think you’re not good enough─not rich enough or thin enough or smart enough─to have the life you want? Time, money, and talent aren’t going to bring us what we’re seeking. The validation we feel we need can only come if we accept ourselves as we are. Laurie McCammon has brought her message of enoughness across the world, presenting at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, and facilitating circles and workshops over the years. This inspirational and transformative book reminds readers of their self-worth and helps them combat lack of self-confidence. By the end, the message will ring true and clear in every reader’s heart: I am enough!Change the world. “Never-enough” thinking can hurt us in more ways than one. But one of the biggest ways it impacts us is by limiting what we think we are capable of accomplishing. When we accept the truth of our enoughness, our self-image is transformed and we see just how capable we are. McCammon shows readers how developing a sense of enoughness can change not only how you feel about yourself but how you view time, your relationships, your work, and your ability to shape a better world.Open up this motivational book and learn more about:The lie that shapes how we view ourselvesHow to find your own self-worthDeveloping a sense of “enoughness” in today’s worldIf you enjoyed books like Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself,The Gifts of Imperfection, The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion, or Good Morning, I Love You; then you’ll love Enough! by Laurie McCammon.

A finalist for the MS Society Books for a Better Life Award, CHANGE YOUR MIND AND YOUR LIFE WILL FOLLOW has sold nearly 70,000 copies in hardcover. The much-anticipated paperback edition comes with a new preface from Casey who continues to be an active participant in helping others heal through recovery.CHANGE YOUR MIND AND YOUR LIFE WILL FOLLOW suggests that we have only two real choices in life. The first is to fall into despair, become numb, and let fear have its way with us. The second is to open our hearts to those around us, to heal ourselves and each other by changing how we respond in every interaction. We cannot change a person. We often cannot change a situation. We can change how we react. We can learn to act out of our own hearts rather than to react in hurt or anger. We can remember we are not in control. When we stop focusing on problems, solutions tend to appear.Organized around 12 very simple steps, this book gives readers the tools to find within them the positive, peaceful response to every curve ball life throws at them."Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow tells truth and tells it well. I recommend it." -Marianne Williamson, bestselling author "These simple steps can lead to a peaceful and meaningful life.

Readers with a belief in the power of God will be most amenable to her recommendations for a simpler, more rewarding life."- Publishers Weekly"This book is small, is easy to digest, and would likely be taken from the display shelf by someone needing a psychological boost."- Deborah Bigelow, Library Journal

Battle OCD With Insight and InspirationBoth a book and a heart-stopping memoir that provides anxiety relief and gives comfort to those struggling to better understand themselves and their mental health.The tapping and counting and cleaning and ordering brought her comfort and structure, two things lacking in Kirsten Pagacz’s family life. But it never lasted. The loathsome self-talk only intensified, and the rituals she had to perform got more bizarre. By high school, she was anorexic and a substance abuser─common "shadow syndromes" of OCD. By adulthood, she could barely hide her problems and held onto jobs and friends through sheer grit. Help finally came in the form of a miraculously well-timed public service announcement on NPR about OCD─at last, her illness had an identity."It's like the meanest, wildest monkey running around my head, constantly looking for ways to bite me." That was how Kirsten Pagacz described her OCD to her therapist on their first session when she was well into her 30s─she'd been following orders from this mean taskmaster for 20 years, without understanding why. After finally having the answer and learning how to conquer her OCD, Pagacz wants to share her knowledge and insight with you in hopes that you join her in leaving the OCD circus and living a better life.Leaving the OCD Circus reveals the story of Pagacz's traumatic childhood and the escalation of her disorder. Learn how OCD works to misshape a life from a very young age and the various tools she used to deal with and heal her anxiety.Gain insight into:The benefits of meditation and yogaCognitive behavioral therapyMedicationExposure therapyIf you learned from guides like Anxious for Nothing, The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook, or The Anxiety and Worry Workbook then you’ll want to read Leaving the OCD Circus.

They inflame wars, induce death, inspire invention, and control stock markets. More importantly, each of us has them─all the time.Blocked feelings block potential. Deborah Sandella uses advanced neuroscience research and her revolutionary Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM) technique to show how blocked feelings prevent us from getting what we want. She introduces a process that bypasses logic and thinking to activate our own emotional "self-cleaning oven." Using imagination, color, and shape to visualize feelings and get straight to the root of longstanding problems, she teaches us to:Move destructive feelings envy out of the bodyLet go of old feelings and traumatic memoriesFeel and look like the best version of ourselvesDiscover the seven organic ways of using your feelings to attract more love, better health, and greater success. Become better in all aspects of your life with your personal guide to unlocking the ultimate version of you.If you enjoyed books like The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, The Book of Joy, or Atomic Habits, then you’ll want to read Goodbye, Hurt & Pain.
