Conversations with Yourself: A Practical Guide to Greater Happiness, Self-Development and Self-Empowerment (ArtScroll (Mesorah))

“The quality of your life is the quality of your on-going self-talk!”
Most people unconsciously engage in internal self-talk, and in this book, best-selling author Rabbi Zelig Pliskin guides the reader to achieve conscious awareness of meandering mental chatter and to transform it into a steady stream of purposeful thought. After reading the first three chapters of Conversations with Yourself, you will sense yourself achieving more and harnessing a power you never realized you had.
A master motivator, Rabbi Pliskin presents significant goals for character growth in simple, attainable steps. Drawing on the wisdom of the Jewish sages, his personal humor, and experiences common to all, Rabbi Pliskin details how anyone can shift habituated negative self-talk into a positive inner dialogue.
Each short chapter in Conversations with Yourself contains a powerful core thought which, as applied, can neutralize toxic self-talk and stimulate one’s positive inner voice. Among the many brilliant principles presented are:
*You Become What You Think About
*Problem Focus vs. Solution Focus
*Self-Conversations to Reach Your Important Goals
*How to be Unhappy!
*The Best Question You Can Ask Yourself
*Running Your Own Mental Broadcast
*”I” Speak to “Myself”
*Self-Talk and Falling Asleep
*Self-Talk about Money
*Self-Talk that Intensifies or Minimizes Anger

African American Children: A Self-Empowerment Approach to Modifying Behavior Problems and Preventing Academic Failure

There is increasing concern across the nation among individuals of all social classes and ethnic groups about the academic failure and behavioral problems that occur among many African-American children. The inability to reduce and prevent failure and behavior problems of African-American children is most likely due to the fact that the efforts to do so have been based on experiences and research with Caucasian American children, and on practices that are culturally insensitive to the specific needs and learning styles of African-American children. The major purpose of this book is to offer a new, culturally-sensitive, socioeconomic-sensitive, research-based, practical approach to addressing academic and behavioral problems of African- American children. This approach is anchored in self-empowerment theory which suggests that African-American children must receive encouragement in self-motivation, self-praise, and adaptive skills that will spur academic and social success. .

Self-Empowerment: Have the Life You Want!

If you read only one self-help book this year, make it “Self-Empowerment: Have the Life You Want!”  It’s the “portable therapist” to help you close the gap between how life is, and how you would like it to be, in important areas of your life, such as your Mental Health, Health, Career, Relationships, Finances, Family, Community, and Spirituality.

Learn how to achieve optimal living, take charge of your health, make progress in your career (both satisfaction and income), improve your relationships (romantic, family, and work), learn the seven ways to take care of your financial self, create a family of choice (not just your family of origin), establish a positive role in your local community, and achieve a satisfying and joyous spirituality. 

Case studies based on an amalgamation of actual experiences in clinical practice end each chapter, giving you examples (disguised for confidentiality of client information) of how to apply the principles of self-empowerment to real life. 

“Self-Empowerment: Have the Life You Want!” is based on Ken Howard’s more than 18 years of counseling, psychotherapy, and coaching in his private practice office and his experience with thousands of clients (individuals, couples, and groups) in hospitals, agencies, and community organizations. 

While many self-help books are written by well-meaning, non-professional individuals, this one is written by an actual licensed psychotherapist who is currently in practice in California.  Learn how his experience working with clients just like you, solving problems just like yours, can help you…have the life you want!
