In today’s constantly connected world, it’s no wonder anxiety feels like a default setting. The pings of our phones, the pressures of perfection, the noise of social media, and the endless expectations placed on us—it's enough to make anyone’s mind race. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, restless, tense, or stuck in a loop of “what if” thoughts, you’re far from alone. And more importantly, you're not powerless.

Somehow, deeply conservative assumptions about how children behave and how parents raise them have become the conventional wisdom in our society. It's widely assumed that parents are both permissive and overprotective, unable to set limits and afraid to let their kids fail.

However, complaints about pushover parents and entitled kids are actually decades old and driven, it turns out, by ideology more than evidence.

"All of us have Seven Slices in our lives: our Family Slice, our Professional Slice, our Personal Slice, our Physical Slice, our Intellectual Slice, our Emotional Slice, and our Spiritual Slice. These all need to be served in some fashion - and in serving them, they, in turn, serve us." This concept is at the heart of the method executive coach David McNeff has used to transform the lives and careers of his clients. It begins with two important facts: 1) Stress happens - you can't avoid it; and 2) Your existence is composed of far more than "work" and "life".

This landmark audio book will radically change how we think and talk about marriage - and what we can dare to hope from it.

Is life insurance a bad investment? Don’t I lose all my cash value when I die? Shouldn’t I just make a bundle and invest it instead? What about my spouse or my kids—do they need life insurance?

My insurance advisor told me one thing about insurance, but my financial planner gave me different advice, and an expert on TV said something else entirely. What do I do now? Help!

Like most brides on their wedding day, you no doubt were filled with love for your husband and the hope of a happy life together.

That myth is but one of many that Rhonda Stoppe dispels in her easy-to-follow exploration of what it takes to experience a truly happy marriage.

You’ve been sold a story: That if you meditate hard enough, chant the right mantras, or follow the right guru, you’ll finally arrive — at peace, at bliss, at some glittering finish line called “enlightenment.” You’ve been told that ego is the enemy, that suffering can be transcended, that awakening is just a retreat, a breathwork session, or a plant medicine ceremony away.
