by Samantha Marshall Kevin LilesKevin Liles rose from intern to president of Def Jam Records in only nine years. Today, at age thirty-seven, he is executive vice president of the Warner Music Group and has helped discover and direct the careers of stars such as Jay-Z and Ludacris. Liles' meteoric climb from urban street kid with hip-hop aspirations to one of the most successful and influential executives in the music industry is far more than a rags-to-riches story. It is a tribute to Liles' incredible work ethic, wisdom and confidence in doing his thing his way -- the hip-hop way. "Every real success story in hip hop comes down to the same thing: someone who finds the will, focus and drive to achieve," Liles writes in Make It Happen: The Hip-Hop Generation Guide to Success. "It doesn't matter if you are male or female. It doesn't matter what race or religion you are. It doesn't matter what hustle you choose." What does matter, Liles says, is that you fight against the odds to realize a dream and be the best that you can be. You empower yourself and make it happen. Kevin Liles presents ten rules of business success, which range from "Find Your Will" and "The Blueprint" to "Don't Let Cash Rule" and "Play Your Position." As he outlines his philosophy, Liles shares how he put his principles to work, chronicling his journey to the top and the stories of others -- executives, artists, mentors and friends -- he has worked with along the way. Make It Happen is both an American success story and a guidebook for the road to having a career and a life you love.

A Heartbeat Away: Are YOU Ready?
by Arsen S. MarsoobianThe probability of death is 100% and people need to be ready for that inevitability. The how and when is not a choice for most people and the consequences of the actions they take before that happens are already determined, yet the subject of death (particularly one’s own mortality) is avoided by almost everyone. A Heartbeat Away reveals the importance of being ready and provides the facts of actions’ consequences through true, personal stories, professional experiences and additional resources, even from centuries ago. Addressing three specific areas, Spiritual, Relationships, and Finances, Arsen Marsoobian (or “Papa SOOB”) offers suggestions and a blueprint for readers to ask themselves important, life-changing questions. A Heartbeat Away moves readers to stop and reflect on their lives and the people they love in order to prevent regrets when the day comes that they don’t make it back to their comfy bed and leave this world behind.

Words That Free You: What You Say Is What You Become
by Jacques MartelA guide to how the right choice of words can liberate, strengthen, and heal us• Explains how each word carries an energy that increases or decreases our energy level and how our choice of words creates our reality • Offers tables for converting the negative to the positive and shows which words to use to change our lives for the better • Shares healing words in mantras, guided relaxation, and chants as well as a writing technique that brings emotional healing Not only are the words and phrases we use an expression of our innermost thoughts, they also influence our wellbeing and the overall nature of our character. Positive words create a higher vibration and thus a positive experience of life. Words with negative connotations, however, especially if used frequently, create a limiting and possibly self-destructive reality for us, since our brain cannot decide between what is real and what only exists in our imagination. In this easy-to-follow guide, therapist and coach Jacques Martel details how to create a more positive, optimistic, healthy, and happy reality by choosing words filled with freedom, wisdom, and love. The messages we transmit through our words are understood more easily at the level of the heart. Jacques explains how each word we speak or write carries a power that increases or decreases our energy level. Sharing practical communication tools, such as a table to convert words and expressions from the negative to the positive, he reveals which high-vibration words to use to change our lives for the better and explores how to integrate them when speaking with family, friends, coworkers, and in front of an audience for more effective communication. He also shares healing words in mantras, guided relaxation, and chants as well as a writing technique using words that free us to bring emotional healing. When we are more aware of our language, we understand that changing the words we use will transform our reality and our lives. As we become more comfortable communicating how we feel, our words truly become the mirror of our heart and the reflection of our thoughts.
