The author of Passages, a book that changed millions of lives, now lays bare her own life passages in a captivating memoir that reveals her harrowing and ultimately triumphant path from groundbreaking 1960s "girl" journalist to fearless bestselling author who made a career of excavating cultural taboos - from sex, menopause, and midlife crisis to illness, caregiving, and death. Daring to blaze a trail in a "mans world," Gail Sheehy became one of the premier practitioners of New Journalism a the fledgling New York magazine, along with such stellar writers as Tom Wolfe, Gloria Steinem, and Jimmy Breslin. Sheehy dared to walk New York City's streets with hookers and pimps to expose violent prostitution; to march with civil rights protesters in Northern Ireland as British soldiers opened fire; to seek out Egypt's president Anwar Sadat when he was targeted for assassination after making peace with Israel; and to break the glass ceiling in a media world fueled by testosterone, competition, and grit. Daring: My Passages is also the beguiling love story of Sheehy's tempestuous romance with Clay Felker, the charismatic creator of New York magazine and the mentor who inspired her to become a fearless journalist who won renown for her penetrating character portraits of world leaders, including Hillary Clinton, both Presidents Bush, British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, and soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev, among others. www.gailsheehy.com Ξ  In 1945, an ambitious young psychiatrist was given what he thought was an opportunity of a lifetime. Thirty-three-year-old US Army psychiatrist Douglas M. Kelley was to assess the mental fitness of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, Hitler’s second in command, and the top Nazi leaders before they stood trial at Nuremberg. He hoped to discover the essence of the “Nazi personality,” the common thread of mental illness that produced the worst criminals of the twentieth century. If he could identify psychiatric disorders and psychological traits common to the Nazi leaders, he could point to others among us capable of committing similar crimes. It grew into a hazardous quest into the nature of evil. In THE NAZI AND THE PSYCHIATRIST (Paperback, Sept 2014, PublicAffairs)--currently in development for stage and screen adaptation by Mythology Entertainment--award-winning journalist Jack El-Hai exposes the unusual relationship that took shape between Göring and Kelley in a small prison cell. Ξ  Some women are great at it; Madonna, Lady Gaga, Gwyneth Patlrow. They reinvent themselves constantly. But plenty of us stay stuck. Something stops us from moving forward or making changes, even something as simple as changing our hairstyle. “It fascinates me how we all have the potential to redesign our lives to some extent and yet so often we stay stuck,” says thérèse, author of “Letter from Paris,” www.thereseblogs.com a new novel about a woman’s efforts to reinvent herself in work, love and life. It has won raves from celebrities ranging from Goldie Hawn and Miranda Kerr to Arianna Huffington. “Life is short and we owe it to ourselves to live the fullest life we can. So often we women tell ourselves we are too old for change, or that we aren’t talented enough or rich enough or any of the reasons we come up with to mask our fear.” Thérèse says. “ I am a big believer in leap and the net will appear.” Thérese is a nom de plume for author Lady Thérèse Robinson, who left England and a star-studded professional life there 12 years ago to move with her husband and two teenagers to golden California. Hungry for a change of direction and a new career, she began writing her take on life in the fast lane in Los Angeles and along the way, discovered a talent for storytelling. Ξ

The Gift of Cancer: A Miraculous Journey to Healing speaks to anyone on a journey of wellbeing, whether suffering from a life-threatening disease or merely desiring to live a better, more fulfilling life. After Brenda’s third cancer diagnosis and being told she had a year to live, she boldly stepped away from the accepted medical model, said “no” to chemotherapy, and chose alternative treatment. This unorthodox path, the connection of mind, body, and spirit, which many experts now believe is the key to true healing, ultimately saved Brenda’s life and put her in control of her own destiny.

He worked for the Clinton Administration under the Secretary of Agriculture, and for Tim Johnson. Dr. John W.

CliffsNotes Graduation Debt, Second Edition was inspired by Reyna Gobel's battle with student loan debt. In 2004, she found out she defaulted on a student loan she didn't know she had. With two loans per semester, she was not alone in this discovery. 20 percent of her generation had a defaulted loan. Based on recent statistics, nearly 15 percent of borrowers defaulted on a loan in their first three years after college graduation. She was able to get an affordable repayment plan and clear the default from her credit report. Getting out of default wasn't nearly as difficult as she thought. Now, it's even easier due to a July 1, 2014 law change mandating borrowers have an option for income-based default payments as low as $0 per month. Her mission with CliffsNotes Graduation Debt is to show other borrowers they can manage their student loan situations, too, if they have the right information. Ξ  Mainstream America has come a long way since Donna Eden first started teaching Energy Medicine 35 years ago. Energy Medicine, a healing technique which works by redirecting the flow of energy throughout the body, is now used in U.S. hospitals and cancer centers, and doctors have found that patients recover better from surgery if energy medicine is incorporated into their care. Now Donna Eden and David Feinstein, authors of ENERGY MEDICINE—the classic, bestselling book on the subject—show readers how Energy Medicine can help heal their relationships in their long-awaited follow-up, THE ENERGIES OF LOVE: Using Energy Medicine to Keep Your Relationship Thriving (Tarcher/Penguin hardcover; on sale 9/4/14). Drawing on their experiences counseling couples in their “Energies of Love” workshops as well as their very own relationship as husband and wife, Donna and David offer an indispensible guide to love and relationship-strengthening.Ξ  The Ark Storm is coming—a catastrophic weather event that will unleash massive floods and wreak more damage on California than the feared “Big One.” One man wants to profit from it.

Linda Davies's Ark Storm brings together the worlds of finance, scientific innovation, and terrorism in a fast-paced thrill ride that will leave readers gasping. www.lindadavies.com Ξ  Introducing Marc Freedman's Retiring for the GENIUS, a modern-day blueprint on preparing for, and enjoying, your life in retirement. Retiring for the GENIUS was written specifically for those who: seek to spend between $4,000 and $10,000 per month in retirement; need to get their financial house in order; have a net worth (including their home) of between $500,000 and $2.5 million; worry about taxes, medical costs, and spending money in retirement; wonder whether their investments are properly positioned for retirement.

Almost everyone has met a natural-born negotiator. You know the type: the person who can drive onto a car lot and drive off with a bargain well under the sticker price…or go to a flea market or antique shop and get an 18th century armoire for a quarter of its tag price…or walk into their boss’s office and walk out with a raise, even during a recession. These people just seem to have an inborn gift. Too bad about the rest of us! We’re doomed to forever pay sticker price on cars and antiques and shy away from tough money talks at work…right? Wrong, says Steven G. Blum. We all negotiate things all the time without even realizing it. Take steps to improve those abilities and you can change your life. “Let’s say your boss comes to you with a problem,” says Blum, author of Negotiating Your Investments: Use Proven Negotiation Methods to Enrich Your Financial Life (Wiley, 2014, ISBN: 978-1-118-58307-4, $40.00, www.negotiatingtruth.com). “A colleague, who was a key member on a big project you’re working on, has unexpectedly left the company. Ξ  How do you know when you’re having an out-of-body experience? The first time it happened to Myrna Raquel Quiles, she thought she was sleeping – and she quickly realized she was staring at her body from above.“I know how it sounds – I’ve tried to reconcile what I’ve experienced with what doctors and other professionals offer as an explanation; it’s not PTSD; it’s not something I ate; everything was normal, except for that moment when I wanted to get back into my body, but I couldn’t,” says Quiles, author of “Twice Out of My Body, A Second Chance,” (www.TwiceOutOfMyBody.com). “I saw my face beginning to turn pale, then I began to turn a very light purple. I was desperate because, somehow, I knew time was running out. With all of my inner strength, I made my appeal, ‘Oh God, please help me.’ ” Ξ  Ξ  Many people—perhaps four out of five or more—are dissatisfied with their jobs. Why not pursue a dream? It’s up to you to create your custom-tailored career and define success your way. But how? Combine your burning passion with drive, determination, strategy, and commitment to pay it forward; find and nurture mentor support, stay steady on your path, and see the fireworks. SUCCESS ON YOUR OWN TERMS (Career Press, June 2014) will show you exactly how to do it. Living parallel lives as a Christian hip-hop artist/producer and a Fortune 100 executive and author, James Rosseau has merged the streams of his dual passions to make a difference in his own life and the lives of countless others. Learning to make and keep six promises during his diverse career, Rosseau now shows anyone in transition, looking for change or ready to act on their passion how to do the same. jamesrosseausr.com

Nearly one third of Millennials, according to the Pew Research Center, don’t identify with a particular religion. And 20 percent of Americans overall describe themselves as nonreligious. So what happens when a nonbeliever falls in love with a believer? If you ask most traditional pastors and rabbis, they’ll tell you: major religious differences make a marriage much more difficult, if not doomed. Imagine the problems and the odds stacked against a long, happy marriage when one partner is committed to an organized faith and the other is a committed agnostic or atheist. faith. Now imagine the potential for a mixed-belief marriage when partners embrace their differences, work out agreements on shared practices, and focus on their shared values. As secular humanist and popular author Dale McGowan shows in his new book, IN FAITH AND IN DOUBT: How Religious Believers and Nonbelievers Can Create Strong Marriages and Loving Families, mixed-belief marriages can be highly successful and deeply fulfilling.

Zak Ebrahim is the son of the man who planned the 1993 WTC bombing, and a childhood among terrorism was all he knew. He was presumed to follow in his father’s footsteps – but he chose not to, against all expectations. In the new book, THE TERRORISTS SON (Simon and Schuster/TED, September 2014), Ebrahim tells his story, and how a child raised among a culture of hate was able to embrace nonviolence and empathy instead of what he was taught. On November 5th, 1990, Ebrahims’s father, El Sayyid Nosair, walked into a hotel in Manhattan and assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane, the founder of the Jewish Defense League. The crime and following arrest shattered his son Zak’s life…but also made his life possible. His father could not fill him with hate from jail, where Nosair planned the WTC bombing, and he could no longer stop Zak from discovering the people he was taught were evil – were just other human beings he could care about, and who could care about him. Ξ  September is Suicide Prevention Month and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is launching a new campaign offering support to Veterans in need. The Power of 1 emphasizes the effect that just one person, one conversation, or one act can have on the life of a Veteran or Service member by offering hope and opening the door to support. VA will collaborate with community organizations throughout the month, with specially trained suicide prevention coordinators in 151 VA Medical Centers across the nation spreading the word at local events, sponsoring health fairs, and working with DoD to help Veterans and Service members get the support they deserve. Dr. Caitlin Thompson will discuss the new campaign and the importance of supporting Veterans, along with how to identify the warning signs of suicide and the steps to take in a time of crisis. Those steps include contacting the Veterans Crisis Line or using its online chat and text-messaging services for free, confidential support from specially trained and experienced responders. Veterans, Service members and anyone concerned about them can call the Veterans Crisis Line (1-800-273-8255 and Press 1), chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat, or send a text to 838255 — even if they are not registered with VA or enrolled in VA health care.

Ξ  Drawing on more than two decades of research at The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASAColumbia), founder Joseph A. Califano, Jr., presents a clear, common-sense guide to helping kids stay drug-free. All parents dream of a healthy, productive, and fulfilling future for their children; Califano shows which specific actions work and what parents can do to teach, protect, and empower their children to have the greatest chance of making that future come true. Teenagers who learn about the risks of drugs from their parents are twice as likely never to try them, and this book provides the tools parents need to prepare their children for those crucial decision-making moments.In this revised and updated edition of How to Raise a Drug Free Kid, Califano tackles some of the newest obstacles standing between our kids and a drug-free life—from social media sites and cell phone apps to the explosion in prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse and the increased dangers and addictive power of marijuana.
