Focused: The Prepared to Win Mindset
by JJ MosesThe creator of the #1 professional and personal development program in professional sports reveals his winning playbook for unleashing your God-given potential.At 5'6" and from a small town in Iowa, JJ Moses recognized that his childhood dream of playing in the NFL was a long shot. To overcome the overwhelming odds, he knew he needed to be prepared for any opportunity God sent his way. Still, it took a disappointing start to his college football career for a switch to finally flip. What followed was the creation of an integrative method so trailblazing and effective that it propelled him to seemingly impossible heights of success. In fact, Moses not only became a seasoned pro on the gridiron&’s grandest stage, but he also realized that the same process he used to get a competitive edge could help others embrace their own winning mindset. When his playing days were over, Moses brought the &“Prepare to Win&” program to his former NFL team&’s front office, where it quickly evolved into the league&’s gold standard curriculum for motivating players to exceed their potential and become effective leaders. Thoughtfully weaving professional insight with emotional and spiritual guidance, Moses has now tailored his step-by-step strategy for a wide audience, unlocking the previously untold secrets to consistent high performance. As much for aspiring leaders as experienced executives, Focused is the blueprint for taking yourself, your team, and your community to the next level.

by L. Cameron MosherThe title of the book, "I'm OK! I'm just not finished" captures the essence of Cam Mosher's message to the world. "You are absolutely OK, right now, as you are, with all the unfinished things about you in your body, in your thoughts, in your mistakes, in everything about you. Come to accept yourself as an amazing, magnificent, human work in progress. You came into life an amazing bundle of potential, you continue to be that amazing bundle of potential, and you have the rest of your life to work on finishing the marvelous work of realizing your amazing potential. Let's get on with it!" The book expands on this core message with simple principles for empowered living, how to understand and comprehend the issues of your life, how to build strong relationships, how to deal with conflict, and how to boil life down to the key decisions that build self-esteem and generate positive experience and results. This book supports you to build self-esteem by reframing and remaking the decisions by which it was lost or diminished. Empowered living is driven by simple principles and simple decisions that you can learn and make. It's not complicated; complications lie in circumstances.

With sections on personal empowerment and empowered relationships, Cam provides a comprehensive roadmap for empowering your whole life, personally and professionally. Filled with encouraging opportunities in each chapter to reflect and record notes to self, and concluding with an inventory of what you have in your life and what you want in your life, I'm OK!

Dancing in the Darkness: Spiritual Lessons for Thriving in Turbulent Times
by Rev. Otis Moss, IIIA guide to uplift our spirits as we work for justice in these politically turbulent times—from Reverend Otis Moss, III, Senior Pastor at Chicago&’s Trinity United Church of Christ and one of the country&’s most renowned and beloved spiritual and civil rights leaders. Once again, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. first observed in the 1960s, it is midnight in America—a dark time of division and anxiety, with threats of violence looming in the shadows. In 2008, the Trinity United Church in Chicago received threats when one of its parishioners, Senator Barack Obama, ran for president. &“We&’re going to kill you&” rang in Reverend Otis Moss&’s ears when he suddenly heard a noise in the middle of the night. He grabbed a baseball bat to confront the intruder in his home. When he opened the door to his daughter&’s room, he found that the source of the noise was his own little girl, dancing. She was simply practicing for her ballet recital. In that moment, Pastor Moss saw that the real intruder was within him. Caught in a cycle of worry and anger, he had allowed the darkness inside. But seeing his daughter evoked Psalm 30: &“You have turned my mourning into dancing.&” He set out to write the sermon that became this inspiring and transformative book. Dancing in the Darkness is a life-affirming guide to the practical, political, and spiritual challenges of our day. Drawing on the teachings of Dr. King, Howard Thurman, sacred scripture, southern wisdom, global spiritual traditions, Black culture, and his own personal experiences, Dr. Moss instructs you on how to practice spiritual resistance by combining justice and love. This collection helps us tap the spiritual reserves we all possess but too often overlook, so we can slay our personal demon, confront our civic challenges, and reach our highest goals.
Flesh & Blood: Reflections on Infertility, Family, and Creating a Bountiful Life: A Memoir
by N. West MossHonest, warm, and witty, this memoir reads like a chat with a dear friend sharing her insight and her vulnerabilities and taking us along as she heals. Complete with family stories over cocktails and a new friend named Claude, who happens to be a praying mantis. &“I drive and say to myself, if I am dying, if this is how I die, then this is how I die.&” When N. West Moss finds herself bleeding uncontrollably in the middle of a writing class, she drives herself to the hospital. Doctors are baffled, but eventually a diagnosis—hemangioma—is determined and a hysterectomy is scheduled. We follow Moss through her surgery, complications, and recovery as her thoughts turn to her previous struggles with infertility, to grief and healing, to what it means to leave a legacy. Moss&’s wise, droll voice and limitless curiosity lift this beautiful memoir beyond any narrow focus. Among her interests: yellow fever, good cocktails, the history of New Orleans, and, always, the natural world, including the praying mantis in her sunroom whom she names Claude. And we learn about the inspiring women in Moss&’s family—her mother, her grandmother, and her great-grandmother—as she sorts out her feeling that this line will end with her. But Moss discovers that there are other ways besides having children to make a mark, and that grief is not a stopping place but a companion that travels along with us through everything, even happiness. With public figures like Chrissy Teigen and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, speaking out about infertility recently, women are eager for voices that acknowledge their struggles. Fans of Lena Dunham, Leslie Jamison, and Jenny Lawson—along with readers of medical memoirs like When Breath Becomes Air and The Bright Hour—will find that connection in Moss&’s Flesh & Blood.

The Mandala of Being
by Richard MossThe Mandala of Being shows us why and how we habitually obstruct our innate potential for what Richard Moss calls radical aliveness, a life of authenticity, overflowing energy, and joy. In these pages, Richard Moss gives us an effective practice that is readily incorporated into day-to-day life. It illustrates that there are in fact only four places our minds ever go when we leave the Now -- the past, the future, judgments of ourselves, and judgments of others. It allows us to trace precisely the path we have taken away from our most authentic and essential being whenever we are not fully present, and simultaneously shows us the way home. Drawing from his profound self-realization and more than three decades of working with people of diverse backgrounds, Richard Moss accompanies and encourages the reader on a journey toward freedom from fear and any other limiting or threatening feeling. Deep self-understanding, inner ease, spontaneous healing, more fulfilling relationships, and enhanced creativity are all wonderful blessings that can arise from reading and reflecting on The Mandala of Being.

Dreaming the Soul Back Home
by Robert MossIn this extraordinary book, shamanic dream teacher Robert Moss shows us how to become shamans of our own souls and healers of our own lives. The greatest contribution of the ancient shamans to modern healing is the understanding that in the course of any life we are liable to suffer soul loss -- the loss of parts of our vital energy and identity -- and that in order to be whole and well, we must find the means of soul recovery. Moss teaches us that our dreams give us maps we can use to travel to the places where we can find and bring home our lost or stolen soul parts. He shows us how to recover our animal spirits and ride the windhorse of spirit to places of healing and adventure in the larger reality. We discover how we can heal ancestral wounds and open the way for cultural soul recovery. You'll learn how to enter past lives, future lives, and the life experiences of parallel selves and how to bring back lessons and gifts. "It's not just about keeping soul in the body," Moss writes. "It's about growing soul, becoming more than we ever were before, embodying more of the Greater Self." With fierce joy, he incites us to take the creator's leap and bring something new into our world.
