Unlock the Inner Strength Behind Your Negative Emotions is a transformative guide that invites readers to confront and embrace their negative emotions as a pathway to personal growth and healing. The author, drawing from his experiences as a pastor, counselor, coach, consultant, and professor, emphasizes the importance of understanding the deeper meanings behind our emotional struggles.

The book is structured around the premise that negative emotions, often viewed as detrimental, can serve as powerful catalysts for change when approached with courage and insight. Through a series of chapters, the author explores themes such as the stories we tell ourselves, the impact of trauma, and the intricate relationship between identity, value, and worth. He introduces the concept of the RHWR grid (Rational, Healthy, Wise, and Right) to help readers evaluate their emotional responses and the paths they choose to achieve their emotional goals.

Each chapter encourages self-reflection and offers practical strategies for managing negative emotions, ultimately guiding readers to reclaim their power and redefine their narratives. The author asserts that true emotional resilience comes from facing our insecurities and understanding that our value is not determined by external validation but by our intrinsic worth. By the end of the book, readers are equipped with the tools to transform their emotional storms into opportunities for growth, leading to a richer, more fulfilling life.

This book is a profound exploration of emotional intelligence, blending years of professional insight with deeply personal experiences. Dr. Gregory Stewart masterfully navigates the complexities of human emotion and thought, offering readers a clear framework to unlock their emotional resilience and strength. I³ empowers individuals to confront and transform their emotional challenges, leading to personal growth and a deeper understanding of their identity, value, and worth. This book is not only an invaluable resource for leaders, counselors, and coaches but also for anyone seeking personal transformation through the integration of faith, self-awareness, and emotional health.

To fully understand the impact of generational wealth, we need only look at one telling statistic. Roughly one-third of Forbes 400 richest Americans inherited some or all their wealth. James Weeks addresses the life-altering impact of generational wealth in this important book. For African Americans, denied generational wealth by slavery, Jim Crowism, redlining, and institutionalized racism, this is a timely and critical issue.

Navigate the labyrinth of healing in Blooming Into Life: an Energy Healing Journey. This fearless exploration of the author's own struggles, from healing debilitating disease while raising a family and creating several businesses, led her to a completely new and surprising place in her life as a ThetaHealer. What really happens when we embark on any healing journey is a jumble of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and energies that can leave us feeling confused or downright scared. With the help of a skilled ThetaHealer, we can progress through the healing process at an accelerated rate, erase layers upon layers of unnecessary baggage, and free ourselves to live the life we came here to experience.

In a society banned together by fear lies Bliss Creek, the perfect example of what can be accomplished if everyone simply complies with the social contract, the details of which are dictated by people they cannot see, who were elected by votes they did not cast, and all the questions these issues raise remain unasked. The fear stems from attacks that are constant and always on the outside of the walls, where the zoneless meet their fate for all to see on the never-ending news broadcasts. The area protected by Branch's army, called the Zones, is an ever-changing expanse depending on the cooperation provided by the people within. Bliss Creek is in the center of Zone 8, claimed to be the safest of all the Zones, or, perhaps, the most cooperative.

Iz is a 17-year-old girl who wakes up in a hospital bed just outside of Bliss Creek, completely void of any memories. Making her way home and into her life, she has a constant wariness following her. In her home, there is no evidence of her having ever lived there, no pictures, no notes, no nick knacks. While her parents dote on her, and appear to love her, she continues to be haunted by the scraps of hidden clues she finds in her house, and in the dark recesses of her mind, indicating that things are not as they seem. These niggling little remnants of the past coupled with the strangeness of life in Bliss Creek make it difficult for Iz to accept the status quo.

The choice to pursue a seemingly fruitless search into who she once was, where she came from, and why life in this sleepy little zone appears so inauthentic, or to simply continue in the safe, quiet existence she currently leads, is a constant internal battle for Iz. Will she decide to pursue the truth as to who she really is, or quietly live out her days as the person they all want her to be?

This is one of my new favorites. I read it in one day! It reminds me of The Hunger Games series. Bliss Creek is set in a dystopian period, and the world is divided into zones. Most people live peacefully in zones with a group of individual rebels fighting with the zones. The story is a mystery of what happened to Iz wrapped into her unfolding love story. AL Willingham writes so descriptively she makes me feel like I am Iz, and gives me get a visual picture of the setting. I love Iz and I am very protective of her. I want to I can't wait to see the rest of the books. AL please publish more!!!

Debi Burrows

This book hooked me right away. A great dystopian story which kept me rooting for Iz to figure what had happened to her so I could know too. Looking forward to the next one.

Grayson Weithman

The author really has a way of painting a picture. I felt like I knew and could relate to Iz, the main character, from the first page. I can't wait to see what comes next! Definitely recommend!!!

The Work-life Escape Room is a book that exposes the obvious oblivious reality that has trapped you and many of us from getting what we really want most of the time we live our lives at work. It provides a map for those who dare to escape-a map built from what was found in the stress, suck, and saga routine of over 200 lives trapped inside. What's at stake is most of the time remaining to you in your waking life. If being zombified seeking to survive, living a good enough work-life is good enough for you, then good enough. The choice to escape is up to you and only you. Choosing to stay trapped inside is a choice to spend most of the time, most days each week, in a place where you can feel happy, inspired, or fulfilled only some of the time. Day after day, year after year, more the same. All for one day someday you may never arrive in. If, instead, you want more than more of the same, then a journey ahead of you awaits. Where you are is where this starts. Choose to stay and be more the same, or choose to move and escape to an impossible place!

The Millenial and GenZ generations understand social media. They have grown up in an age of hyperconnectivity, but many don't do a great job at understanding or blending their social presence effectively as a tool to show who they are, their why, their value, and the impact they can create as job candidates or as business owners. I call this our Social Soul. It's how we show our true authentic selves online with intentionality. It shows an individual's love and passion for what they do, and the value they offer to their various networks of friends, current and potential colleagues, prospective partners, managers, direct reports, or investors. For entrepreneurs, the most effective way to use social selling isn't obvious, even if they have come of age in a hyperconnected world. This book will educate and inspire readers to take action on the most powerful and useful social networks to date. You will learn through thoughtful examples applicable to future platforms that can be used to better connect in pursuit of entertainment, clients, networking, and business success in a way that translates across cultural borders.

Rob's Social Soul reads like a good friend peering over your shoulder, gently guiding you as you try to precariously navigate your social media. These days, it isn't enough to just 'be online' - you have to establish a presence, and an authentic one at that, for it to be of any value personally or professionally. The Social Soul provides you the tools and tips that will allow you to shine in the virtual world.
