Empowerment: You Can Do, Be, and Have All Things

“There is nothing you cannot do, be or have”, a phrase which is the focus of this book that encourages you to get what you want. It combines “Prayer, Principles and Power”, “The Manifestation Process”, and “Mastering Money”, to make up a course of study in the truth of being, the synchronous activity of super consciousness, and the materialization of form out of energy. The steps on the path to abundance include The Art and Science of Prayer, The Pure Light of Intuition, Ten Steps to the Fulfillment of Your Desires, and A Consciousness of Abundance.

You Have to F**king Eat

Emmy Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Malcom in the Middle) follows in the exasperated footsteps of Samuel L. Jackson, giving voice to the long-suffering father whose indifferent child will just not eat in this hilarious follow-up to Adam Mansbach’s international bestseller, Go the F**k to Sleep.

Mansbach’s long-awaited sequel is about that other great parental frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal. Profane, loving, and deeply cathartic, You Have to F**king Eat breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving moms and dads (new, old, grand-, and expectant) a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem.

Anchored by a hilarious performance from Cranston, You Have to F**king Eat is the perfect blend of talented voice actor and subversive fun that expertly captures Mansbach’s trademark humor. Due to its explicit language, you probably shouldn’t play this one for your kids.

Motivation for Current and Aspiring Endurance Challenge Athletes Vol. 1: Consolidated wisdom from extreme endurance athletes who have been there and done that (Volume 1)

The world of adventure racing and obstacle course races has exploded in the past few years. This rapid expansion has resulted in a number of heavy hitting companies emerging as the standard bearers for difficulty and innovation in this newly minted ‘sport’. While all of them are different in their own way, they center around the objective of getting people outside of a usual or expected setting, pushing some personal boundaries, and in the end allow participants the opportunity to surprise themselves with their ability to overcome their predispositions. One of the facets of these challenges that makes them so hard and interesting is the variability not only between event brands but within the events themselves. These challenges can combine running, load carrying, rope climbing, swimming, dynamic lifts, neck deep mud, sleep deprivation, and hunger all in the same event! This multifaceted nature also makes these sorts of events somewhat overwhelming to prepare for, especially for the uninitiated. But because of this variability, any but the very best and most detailed ‘how to’ book (more like encyclopedia) could hope to prepare people completely. So what to do? Well I don’t have all the solutions (and that is sort of the point of this book) but I figure I can take a stab at helping out those interested by utilizing a learning technique that has never failed me yet: asking those who have gone before you for advice. You can study a task until your eyes itch but sometimes the best information comes from the person in front of you who just successfully completed the task without breaking a sweat.

Good Talk, Dad: The Birds and the Bees…and Other Conversations We Forgot to Have

Bill Geist–the beloved, award-winning, long-time special correspondent for “CBS: Sunday Morning,” whose debut Little League Confidential was a New York Times bestseller in hardcover and paper–and Willie Geist, the Today Show host, popular member of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” and author of the best-selling American Freak Show–have begun an extended conversation between father and son on areas of mutual interest, agreement, and disagreement.

Told in a unique back-and-forth banter style, the hilarious father-son team will laugh together at the shared journey of their relationship. They’ll riff on fatherhood, religion, music, sports, summer camp disasters, driving lessons gone horribly wrong, being on TV, and their wonderfully odd family life. Think Big Russ and Me (May 2010, 345,829 net per bookscan) meets S*** My Dad Says, with humorous observations about professional wrestling as a worldview, raising a kid with television cameras in the kitchen, and anything and everything else that comes to their witty minds.

The Geists decided to write this book so their children and grandchildren would have a record of their unusual father-son relationship. The book is remarkably funny, as well as poignant and sincere, especially in light of Bill’s announcement that he’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. With its lighthearted look at the crazy things fathers and sons go through and the unique bond those experiences forge, the book is sure to be a must-have gift for Father’s Day.

What on Earth Have I Done?: Stories, Observations, and Affirmations

“My house in Seattle is across the street from an elementary school.  A high fence blocks my view, but I’m close enough to overhear conversations.  One morning…I heard a car door opened, then slammed shut…a woman’s voice came blasting over the fence:  “BILLY…WHAT…ON…EARTH…HAVE…YOU…DONE?”…My own mother asked me the same question.  Often.  And I, in my turn asked my own children, who, no doubt have followed the same line of inquiry with their kids…”

Robert Fulghum’s new book begins with a question we’ve all asked ourselves: “What on Earth have I done?”  As Fulghum finds out, the answer is never easy and, almost always, surprising.  For the last couple of years, Fulghum has been traveling the world – from Seattle to the Moab Desert to Crete – looking for a few fellow travelers interested in thinking along with him as he delights in the unexpected: trick-or-treating with your grandchildren dressed like a large rabbit, pots of daffodils blooming in mid-November, a view of the earth from outer space, the mysterious night sounds of the desert, every man’s trip to a department store to buy socks, the raucous all-night long feast that is Easter in Greece, the trials and tribulations of plumbing problems and the friendship one can strike up with someone who doesn’t share the same language. What on Earth Have I Done? is an armchair tour of everyday life as seen by Robert Fulghum, one of America’s great essayists, a man who has two feet planted firmly on the earth, one eye on the heavens and, at times, a tongue planted firmly in his cheek. Fulghum writes to his fellow travelers, with a sometimes light heart, about the deep and vexing mysteries of being alive and says, “This is my way of bringing the small boat of my life within speaking distance of yours.  Hello…”
