Our brains seek order and resist the unexpected, inconsistent, and counterintuitive. But life is more often paradoxical than predictable — which is why formulas for fulfillment and success often fail. Instead of fighting the tide of contradiction and confusion, Marc Lesser asserts, we can learn to understand and even embrace them using the simple tools he presents in these pages. Readers learn to master five core competencies: Know Yourself, Forget Yourself; Be Confident, Question Everything; Fight for Change, Accept What Is; Embrace Emotion, Embody Equanimity; and Benefit Others, Benefit Yourself. The result is balance, a version of Buddhism’s “middle way,” which prompts understanding of what is required in any given moment and actions through which we skillfully “dance” with paradox in enriching and joyful ways. Bolstered by the latest in neuroscience, this guide is nuanced and direct, profound and practical.

In general, people are concerned about their own well-being and that of those who matter to them. They do not skimp on the means to protect themselves and their family against all kinds of risks. From the smallest to the largest, they ensure their livelihood, and everything that is the basis of their prosperity. They can spend a lot of money insuring their property, loved ones, bodies, and even death. But consciously or unconsciously, they forget the essential, which is the assurance of their own soul. This book is made available to anyone who wants to meet Jesus and make peace with Him ...

Don't forget yourself is a guide for mothers to fight the battle of postpartum depression.

Ladies, I'm not here to tell you how many secret ways you can bend over backwards to get some man to come and validate you. You've heard enough of that. Men, I'm not here to tell you how to attract more women in an effort to chase the fulfillment your heart yearns for but you never learned how to keep. You've tried that already. It did not, and still has not worked. I'm here to tell you how to stop getting mindscrewed, toyed with, and taken for granted. It's killing your hope in love, and likely even eating away at your sense of self. You don't have to admit it to me, and you can hide it from your circle, but deep down, you know. Why am I so sure? Because I've been there before. I've been on both the receiving and giving end of heartbreak. I've been the bullshitter and the bullshitted. I, like many of you, tried everything to put myself in position where I could never get hurt, but no matter what, I failed because I was already hurting due to my lack of understanding of self-love. In this book, I take you through not only my personal process in that journey but also the lessons I learned to help me lead millions in that same journey for themselves today. I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm just telling you that if you continue going in circles like you've been doing then it's by choice because I've now given you the map. The rest is on you to make the necessary steps. Just don't forget your crown

This book depicts the teenage mind and how many of them interpret life and circumstances going on around them. The difficulties that some adults have forgotten about or moved on from thinking like a young adult. There is an epidemic of bullying, conflicts with friends and peers, pregnancies, and suicide. With this book young adults and adults can sit down and have a conversation guided by the discussions in the back of the book. Remember we as adults must be ready to listen as well as talk openly and honestly, now many times the young adult will start the conversation if you just sit down with them without asking questions, and sometimes we may ask too many questions and they shut down, but if you just be there and let them know you love and care about them that would be enough. Please note the discussions are not the end all and be all, they are examples and suggestion topics only. Dont think that every child is the same, some may talk and others may close up, but plant the seed of love and understanding. You are not there to be their friends (dont be over bearing either) youre the ones guiding them through lifes journey, they might come to you for your opinion about some issues. Remember yourself at that age, lets not forget what its like to discover oneself.
