Find out what thousands of women have learned about achieving wealth Take the money personality test that can change your life Uncover your hidden financial talents Learn to invest without fear Between one third and two thirds of women now aged thirty-five to fifty-five will be impoverished after age sixty-five if they do not immediately start to prepare financially for their later years. It is Christopher Hayes''s mission to change that frightening statistic. Women are less psychologically inclined than men to save on a regular basis. Women are less likely than men to benefit from Social Security and pension plans. Women are at increased financial risk because of widowhood and divorce. For these reasons alone, Money Makeovers provides information no woman can afford to be without. In a book that is at once a wake-up call and a practical guide, Dr. Christopher L. Hayes, Founder and Executive Director of the National Center for Women and Retirement Research, teaches women to understand their own "financial personality profile," overcome gender-based resistance, and take charge of their economic security. By addressing the specific links between money attitudes and personality types, Money Makeovers offers targeted advice that speaks to the unique concerns and fears of the individual reader. Each woman will be able to recognize herself in the specially designed "Women Cents Self-Test," as well as in the anecdotes and case histories throughout the text, and will be empowered to move forward with a practical financial plan. By learning why she has been reluctant or unable to save; by learning how to overcome her own psychological barriers; and by following Hayes''s savvy, specific financial advice, each woman will be able to plan her own future, free of economic anxiety.

The Alexander Technique is a long-established, accessible and highly effective way of learning to change and retrain postural and behavioural habits that cause unnecessary tension, stress and illness. Developed over a century ago by F.M. Alexander (who taught the technique to George Bernard Shaw, Henry Irving, Aldous Huxley and many others), the Alexander Technique is a form of conscious awareness and mindfulness avant la lettre. It has always been used principally by actors—though it has wide applications in other professions and in daily life. Kate Kelly has a lifetime''s experience as an actor and Alexander teacher. In Before the Curtain Opens, she invites performers of all sorts to examine the everyday habits of standing, sitting, breathing, speaking and reacting that spill over, unseen, into their professional lives. Using her own experience, miniature case studies, humour and unfailingly gentle kindness, she shines a spotlight on our deepest-rooted habits. On every page she offers advice, tips, techniques and guidance to help actors and performers retrain themselves in everything they do in daily life—before the curtain opens.

Falling for a woman with kids was never part of Jordan Tanner''s plans. His intention was to quickly sell the building he''s inherited and pave the way to financial freedom.

An ambush by my mom to discuss catering my nonexistent wedding is not a fun way to spend a morning. She''s no longer setting me up on blind dates; she''s planning a wedding. Never have I been happier to get a call from work regarding a dead body found in a field. My name is Detective Ali Rivers with the Abernathy, Tennessee Police Department. It''s my job to trudge through the evil actions people do and seek justice for my victim and their families. My partner, Jerry, and I see evil on a daily basis. This body in a field poses a multi-faceted problem. Not only are we dealing with the evils of murder, but the case takes an unexpectedly sadistic turn. We are forced to team up with a group of people who have rather fluid definitions of justice and what''s socially acceptable. This case is highlighting how depraved and evil this world can be. Evil resides perfectly hidden in darkness. When it comes to eradicating that darkness, sometimes you need to have friends who walk in shadows.

In The ADDed Dimension, Kate Kelly, Peggy Ramundo, and D. Steven Ledingham offer insight--with wise, clear eyes and well-developed senses of humor--into every facet of the ADD experience, from issues of work, parenting, and relationships to those of organizational skills and stress. ADDers know enough about the "disadvantages" of ADD, and this is much more than just a guide to solving problems. At its heart, its aim is self-realization, the feeling of standing, feet firmly planted, on the common ground all ADDers walk. Along the way, it celebrates the good news about ADD: the fact that "different" doesn''t mean "worse," and more often might mean "better," especially when energy, creativity, and humor are concerned. What to do after you or your loved one has come to terms with ADD, but need help at times in keeping perspective, in relating the disorder to everyday life issues and experiences? Now, with The ADDed Dimension, there''s a single book that can help.
