The Fred Factor: How passion in your work and life can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary
by Mark SanbornNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The true story of a seemingly ordinary mail carrier whose approach to work and life has the power to transform the everyday into the extraordinary &“This beloved business classic has inspired millions of people over the years, and today Mark Sanborn&’s transformative insights are more timely and necessary than ever.&”—Jon Gordon, author of The Energy Bus and co-author of The Coffee BeanMeet Fred. In this small yet powerful book, Mark Sanborn, member of the Speaker Hall of Fame, recounts the story of a USPS carrier who introduced himself one day shortly after Sanborn had moved to a new home in Denver. Fred, however, was no average mailman. As Sanborn came to discover, Fred was the kind of worker who exemplifies everything &“right&” with customer service. Did people want packages left on the porch or prefer a notice to pick them up at the post office? Fred made sure he knew the answer. When another delivery service left a package at the wrong house, Fred shepherded it safely to the intended recipient. Others might have seen delivering mail as less-than-glamorous work, but Fred seized the chance to find meaning in the mundane, competing with himself every day to find opportunities to make his customers smile. We&’ve all encountered people like Fred. In this deeply inspiring book, Sanborn illuminates the four basic principles anyone can use to bring fresh energy and creativity to our work and life: how to make a tangible difference every day, build stronger relationships, create real value for others without spending a penny, and constantly reinvent yourself.

Fragile Power: Why Having Everything Is Never Enough; Lessons from Treating the Wealthy and Famous
by Dr. Paul L. HokemeyerA revealing exploration of people whose wealth, fame, beauty, and social status grant them immense power. Celebrity culture drives us to aspire to be like the few who seem to have figured out how to have it all. But is it possible that they simultaneously have everything and nothing at all?Having treated some of the world’s most successful people, psychotherapist “Dr. Paul” sets out to answer why so many people who have everything end up feeling like their achievements are never enough—as well as what that pattern can reveal about ourselves and the society in which we live. The exclusivity of living behind the velvet rope or the gilded gate doesn’t guarantee happiness for the rich, famous, and powerful; there are downsides to attainment as well. We all—including people who seem protected by their privileged lives—can experience the self-destructive behaviors common to modern life, including chronic stress, addiction, anxiety, imposter syndrome, infidelity, negative body image, and narcissism. Division marks our era. There’s a growing separation between the haves and have nots, men and women, as well as the empowered and the disenfranchised. At the same time, our culture is defined by celebrities, and the powerful, affluent people we put on a pedestal to idolize and emulate. Too often, we think our lives would be better if we could have what they have or be more like them. It’s time to realize that even the most admired people can go through life feeling unloved and unable to escape their problems. From the therapist’s chair, we learn how feelings of shame, insecurity, abandonment, and emotional pain are all part of the human condition. With empathy, we can overcome our sense of isolation by realizing that we all crave—and deserve—understanding, intimacy, and real connection.

Fox: negocios a la sombra del poder
by Raúl Olmos Valeria DuránUn libro explosivo de periodismo de denuncia que revela los negocios de un gestor de lujo ante el gobierno federal. Desde los primeros años de su presidencia, Vicente Fox estuvo en el centro del huracán mediático, y no sólo por sus fallidas reformas políticas o sus célebres tropiezos verbales. Su nombre ha estado implicado en diversas investigaciones por tráfico de influencias y conflicto de intereses. Tal como lo demuestra aquí Raúl Olmos, el mismo personaje bravucón que prometía terminar con las "víboras prietas y tepocatas", usó el poder Ejecutivo para asegurar su futuro. Antes de llegar a Los Pinos, Fox afrontaba una situación económica familiar muy adversa. Sin embargo, como se documenta a lo largo de estas páginas, muchas de las acciones que llevó a cabo durante su sexenio respondieron no sólo a fines gubernamentales, sino a una estrategia para resarcir su patrimonio personal. Tras su administración, Fox siguió haciendo negocios a la sombra del poder, diversificando sus ingresos como empresario y convirtiéndose en un cabildero de lujo que ha recibido millones de dólares por su labor como intermediario para inversionistas extranjeros. Así, a partir de un riguroso ejercicio periodístico, este libro sigue la opaca ruta de la prosperidad del ex mandatario, que lo mismo ha incursionado en negocios inmobiliarios, de transporte, agropecuarios y hasta petroleros. A pesar de lo anterior, el llamado presidente de la alternancia ha insistido en defender su pensión de 205 mil pesos mensuales#

The Fourteen Holy Helpers: Invocations for Healing and Protection
by Christiane Stamm• Shares modern updated versions of the medieval prayers of the Holy Helpers, one prayer for each of the 14 saints and one prayer to call on all of them together • Explains how, even though these 14 saints are connected to Catholic belief, they are universal in their powers of assistance and will come to the aid of anyone who calls on them • Recommends a healing stone to enhance the effect of each prayer and explains how to use the prayers to create protective amulets for you and your home and write a letter of invocation for love and success The art of invocation--calling on spirits and higher forces for assistance--has been practiced in folk magic traditions for centuries, with roots going back to early pagan and shamanic times. Called on for more than 1,000 years, the Fourteen Holy Helpers are a group of Catholic saints venerated together because their intercession has been shown to be particularly effective in difficult times. Although they are part of the Christian tradition, these spiritual helpers are universal in their powers of assistance and will come to the aid of anyone who calls on them. In this guide to invoking the Fourteen Holy Helpers, Christiane Stamm presents modern updated versions of the medieval prayers of the Holy Helpers, which were transmitted to her directly from the spirit world. She explains how, even though these 14 saints are connected to Catholic belief, their invoked powers connect to the original energies dwelling within humans and the Earth and calling on them works as a form of natural magic. She shares short biographies of each saint and details how to access their powers of healing and protection through writing out and reciting their specific prayers during the full moon. The author shares 15 prayers--one for each Holy Helper, used to support healing for specific ailments or issues, and one prayer that is especially powerful because it calls on all 14 Helpers together. For each prayer she recommends a healing stone that can be added to further enhance the effect. The author also explains how to use the prayers to create protective amulets for you and your home and write a letter of invocation for love and success. Offering a step-by-step method to call for spiritual assistance, this book helps us realize the profound power of prayer and belief and reveals how magic still exists in our modern world.
