Have you ever admired those successful, confident, motivated, and charismatic people who seem to have it all? They’ve climbed the corporate ladder quickly or started a great business. Their love life is amazing and they have fantastic friends. They’ve made all the right connections. They’ve mastered networking and how to build relationships. They’re very persuasive and created significant influence with people. And…all of this has opened up limitless opportunities for them.

What’s their secret? What breakthroughs have they learned that you haven’t?

They have figured out the biggest predictor for success is… Social Wealth.

We’ve all been in the presence of a leader who captivates, inspiring us to put our soul into the work before us — and have marveled at just how they do it. Amy Walker’s (Season 1, Episode 154) debut book Walk Your Talk: Take Ownership and Lead Like You Mean provides in-depth analysis and actionable steps for developing your leadership capabilities and becoming a leader with great potential to elevate and inspire.

Amy’s clear, fun writing style and clever examples, scripts, and exercises will guide you to understand leadership strategies and quickly incorporate them into your professional and personal life. Her book will help you:

• Define the foundational characteristics of great leaders
• Analyze your own leadership style — including its strengths and weaknesses
• Focus your mindset and move past the patterns that hold you back
• Build a team culture of respect and trust
• Identify the needs of your team members to assist in their successes
• Influence without manipulation
• Conduct critical conversations clearly and productively
• Guide your team through conflict and change while minimizing chaos

Great leadership is much more than holding a position of authority or power. As you lead, your actions — great or otherwise — are observed and magnified in everyone around you. As you take action to strengthen your natural leadership skills and develop new ones, you will find yourself playing a crucial role in enhancing the lives of others.

Walk Your Talk is the catalyst that will take you there. Amy Walker has been in leadership positions for over fifteen years and has repeatedly shown the ability to build profitable businesses and lead teams. She now assists others in building their entrepreneurial dreams. Her foundational belief that leadership is a learnable skill resonates in her writing and her life work.

The Future of Mental Health drills to the heart of the current mental health crisis, where hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide receive unwarranted “mental disorder diagnoses.” It paints a picture of how mental health providers can improve their practices to better serve individuals in distress and outlines necessary steps for a mental health revolution. Eric Maisel’s goal is to inject more human interaction into the therapeutic process.

Maisel (Season 1, Episode 153) powerfully deconstructs the “mental disorder” paradigm that is the foundation of current mental health practices. The author presents a revolutionary alternative, a “human experience”paradigm. He sheds a bright light on the differences between so-called “psychiatric medication”and mere chemicals with powerful effects, explains why the DSM-5 is silent on causes, silent on treatment, and wedded to illegitimate “symptom pictures.” Maisel describes powerful helping alternatives like communities of care, and explains why one day “human experience specialists” may replace current mental health professionals.

An important book for both service providers and service users, The Future of Mental Health brilliantly unmasks current mental health practices and goes an important step further: it describes what we are obliged to do in order to secure better mental health services—and better mental health—for everyone.

As life gets busier and more complicated we crave something larger and more meaningful than just ticking another item off our to-do list. In the past, we’ve looked to religion or outside guidance for that sense of purpose, but today fewer people are fulfilled by traditional approaches to meaning.

Bestselling author, psychotherapist, and creativity coach, Eric Maisel (Season 1, Episode 153) offers an alternative: an eight-week intensive that breaks through barriers and offers insights for living each day with purpose. Once you understand how meaning operates, how meaning and life purpose are related, and what concrete steps you can take toward fulfilling your purpose, you will never run out of meaning again.

The program presented in Life Purpose Boot Camp: The 8-Week Breakthrough Plan for Creating a Meaningful Life will develop self-awareness and self-confidence and give you what you need to fully live the best possible life.

For years, Nick Pavlidis (Season 1, Episode 151) felt stuck.

He worked hard, believing he was doing what was best for his family. Over the years, the combination of long hours, unpredictable schedules, and a growing family took its toll.

Nick tried everything he could think of to improve his marriage, but nothing worked – including nights on that old couch. Nick soon realized he was not only the problem in the relationship, but also the solution.

In Confessions of a Terrible Husband: Lessons Learned from a Lumpy Couch, Nick takes you inside the mind (and house) of a husband who thought he knew it all.

Nick’s story is honest, funny, and hopeful. Both husbands and wives will enjoy the process he undertook to become a more loving and engaged husband and father – a process you can explore to grow your relationship, too, no matter how great it already is.

In Kay Sanders’ (Season 1, Episode 148) new book, The Coaching Business Blueprint, you can learn how to start, build, and grow a professional and profitable coaching business. Are you interested in starting your very own coaching business but don’t know where to start? Or perhaps you are already a coach but you are lacking the skills or knowledge as to how to successfully grow your business? Have you read other books on coaching but felt like there was something missing? Would you like to not only learn how to properly coach but also how to grow a professional coaching business?

This book will teach you not only about the coaching profession and how to coach, but also everything you need to know on how to start, build, and grow a coaching business. You will learn how to build and market a profitable coaching business. You will also learn the necessary sales techniques needed to not only find clients but also lead them into hiring you as their coach.

Having the proper selling skills is just as important as to knowing how to properly coach someone. This book will teach you all of that and more. You will discover how to become masterful in coaching, marketing and selling your services.

A man’s life cannot be justly written or adequately shared, not because language falls short – rather, because a man’s life is a subjective experience. Two identical situations can cause excitement in one or fear in another based on the accumulation of their influences.

How can a mere book sufficiently express the emotions and evolution of a human? At best, polaroids and captions afford us flickering glimpses into a heart and soul. In I’ll Fix My Head Before I’m Dead, Dean Roberts (Season 1, Episode 147) takes the reader by the hand and guides him through the nostalgic meandering of Memory Lane. With wistful overtones and a stream of consciousness uninterrupted by punctuation, you cannot help but fall into rhythm with Roberts’ thoughts as he reflects on a life lived to its fullest.

Roberts offers an open invitation to relive some of his most vulnerable moments and never fails to cap each story with a moral he gleaned from it. He imparts decades of wisdom, using simple sentences to convey simple but elusive truths.

I’ll Fix My Head Before I’m Dead weaves together uncensored journal entries from times and places long ago and far away, with a narrative of hard-earned maturity. Roberts uses brushstrokes of humor and frames his experiences with lilting introspection.
