Book Description
If you don’t feel good about yourself, it can be difficult to reach your goals and live a happy, meaningful life. You may have already read countless books on building self-esteem, but after a while you end up right where you started—feeling like you just aren’t good enough. So, what are the real secrets to genuine, lasting self-esteem? Most books on self-esteem tell you that you should feel good about yourself, but they don’t show you how to put self-esteem into action. In this book, psychologist Marie Hartwell-Walker offers a groundbreaking new approach to self-esteem based in mindfulness and positive psychology. This book provides practical, step-by-step strategies and skills to help you develop feelings of competency, gain resiliency, rebuild self-confidence, and feel good by engaging in positive actions. Self-confidence is more than just a way of being—it’s a way of doing! By taking steps to solve problems and overcome roadblocks by helping yourself (and others!), you will learn to practice self-confidence, rather than just think about it. If you’re ready to learn the secrets to genuine self-esteem, and put what you’ve learned into action, this book will show you how.

Book Description
Grab a stake, a fistful of garlic, a crucifix and holy water as you enter the dark, blood-curdling world of the original pain in the neck in this ultimate collection of vampire facts, fangs, and fiction! What accounts for the undying fascination people have for vampires? How did encounters with death create centuries-old myths and folklore in virtually every culture in the world? When did the early literary vampires—as pictured by Goethe, Coleridge, Shelly, Polidori, Byron, and Nodier as the personifications of man’s darker side—transform from villains into today’s cultural rebels? Showing how vampire-like creatures organically formed in virtually every part of the world, The Vampire Almanac: The Complete History by renowned religion expert and fearless vampire authority J. Gordon Melton, Ph.D., examines the historic, societal, and psychological role the vampire has played—and continues to play—in understanding death, man’s deepest desires, and human pathologies. It analyzes humanity’s lusts, fears, and longing for power and the forbidden! Today, the vampire serves as a powerful symbol for the darker parts of the human condition, touching on death, immortality, forbidden sexuality, sexual power and surrender, intimacy, alienation, rebellion, violence, and a fascination with the mysterious. The vampire is often portrayed as a symbolic leader advocating an outrageous alternative to the demands of conformity. Vampires can also be tools for scapegoating such as when women are called “vamps” and bosses are described as “bloodsuckers.” Meet all of the villains, anti-heroes, and heroes of myths, legends, books, films, and television series across cultures and today’s pop culture in The Vampire Almanac. It assembles and analyzes hundreds of vampiric characters, people, and creatures, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vlad the Impaler, Edward Cullen and The Twilight Saga, Bram Stoker, Lestat De Lioncourt and The Vampire Chronicles, Lon Chaney, True Blood, Bela Lugosi, Dracula, Dark Shadows, Lilith, Vampire Weekend, Batman, Nosferatu, and so many more. There is a lot to sink your teeth into with this deep exhumation of the undead. Quench your thirst for facts, histories, biographies, definitions, analysis, immortality, and more! This gruesomely thorough book of vampire facts also has a helpful bibliography, an extensive index, and numerous photos, adding to its usefulness.

Book Description
My Diary Unlocked is a diary based self-help book for teen girls, their mothers and all women who carry unhealed wounds from their inner adolescent into adulthood. Through raw and real diary entries woven together with guidance and wisdom to emerge triumphant above the struggles, the book imparts the value and power of sharing your personal inner truth as it provides tools to raise self esteem and empower girls and women to live authentic lives. It presents a rarely seen, deeply intimate glimpse into the inner world of teenage girls, shedding light on concerns haunting parents and children alike. Unlike most books aimed at helping teens and women survive and ultimately thrive during this tumultuous time, My Diary Unlocked provides a direct window into the hearts and souls of teenage girls who never considered they would someday decide to share their privately written words. Their thoughts and feelings strike a chord in anyone searching for meaning and identity, for they resonate with an inner vibration of truth and send a message that you are not alone. This book brings to life the gut-wrenching, serious, funny, heartbreaking, heartwarming and liberating experiences typical during the adolescent years. This range of emotions is also felt by boys, and although they do not journal as much, they and their parents can learn, grow and reap the benefits of this book as well. Each chapter explores one of the many issues that have occupied the minds and hearts of teenage girls for decades, if not centuries: body image, eating disorders, family, relationships, romance, sexuality, pregnancy, self-esteem, bullying, addictions, coping with loss, change and even death. Then, in an effort to light a path through the struggles, diary entries are followed with insights, inspiration and practical action steps contributed by some of today's leading authorities on human potential, parenting and teen issues. Reflections shared by the diarists themselves reveal the resilience of the human spirit as they offer inspiration and encouragement to those walking a similar path. Action steps are shared to rekindle the feminine qualities of compassion, empathy and understand for all of humanity.
