The Empowerment Mindset: Success Through Self-Knowledge

The Empowerment Mindset takes readers on a powerful journey of self-discovery so that they can transform unfulfilled lives to instead reflect happiness, success, and genuine empowerment.

Helin notes that, “If you don’t acquire the knowledge to improve your life, you will trap future generations of your family in the same cycle of disappointment.” Beyond vague platitudes this book shows the practical way to greater success and happiness through the adoption of an “empowerment mindset” – a way of living that empowers people to take charge of their lives. If Helin’s past books are an accurate gauge, The Empowerment Mindset is destined to become the most influential self-help book of the 21st century.

Calvin Helin is a best-selling, multi-award winning author, international speaker, attorney, entrepreneur and self-reliance activist.

“Aimed at  every man and woman, he helps us to  recognize that successful adapters, not the fittest, are the ones who succeed. The take-away of this book is a clearer understanding of life.” – Walter Beebe, President, New York Open Center

Empathy Warriors: Self Empowerment Through Mindfulness

Our brains are hardwired for empathy so you would expect that we would encounter it often in our day-to-day interactions–but we don’t! In Empathy Warriors, an interactive journal workbook for everyone ages twelve to adult, educator Tedi Ware explains why giving and receiving empathy happens so infrequently and what we need to do to access and use our innate capacity for it. She then goes on to teach her readers, in concrete and easy to follow ways, exactly how to practice empathy, teach it to others, and make it the foundation of all their relationships. Tedi Ware shares her own story of a painful adolescence when empathy was missing from her life and how she developed a compulsive eating disorder as a means of coping with her loneliness and isolation. Tedi Ware provides her readers with life-enriching techniques that show them how to empower and protect themselves as they build their own empathy-based communities that nurture and sustain all members. Tedi lovingly accompanies her readers on their journeys of becoming happy, confident Empathy Warriors.
