The Thank You Economy isn’t some abstract concept or wacky business strategy… and the enhanced edition isn’t just the book – here Gary comes face to face with the reader with exciting video and audio — it’s the way we buy and sell, the way we’re interacting on all levels, at this exact moment. The way our marketplace functions has been evolving right before our eyes, changing into one that places heavy value on social interaction, which means the individuals and brands that “out-care” and “out-love” their competition will see the biggest returns. The businesses harnessing the word-of-mouth power coming from social media, those that can shift their culture to be more customer-aware and fan-friendly, will pull away from the pack and profit in today’s markets. Gary Vaynerchuk will lay out the thoughts, beliefs, and case studies that support this enormous change, covering everything from the consumer to the CEO while focusing on the connections in between.

The Diet Dropout’s Guide to Natural Weight Loss: Find Your Easiest Path to Naturally Thin by Stan Spencer
Genre(s): Health Fitness & Dieting, Diets & Weight Loss, Weight Loss, Diets, Healthy, Weight Maintenance
T his book isn’t about the latest celebrity diet, wonder food, or miracle supplement. It’s about creating a personalized weight loss plan–your own easiest path to naturally thin. While you can lose weight with almost any diet, keeping the weight off is much more difficult, requiring permanent changes in eating and exercise habits. This book provides a science-based approach for making those changes in a way that works best for you, without wasting time, money, or effort.
Dr. Spencer explains why we gain weight and why the fat lost by dieting almost always comes back. He then presents an array of practical weight loss tools for controlling emotional eating, calming cravings, boosting metabolism, and improving nutrition and exercise. In the final chapter he has you create a natural weight loss plan based on your unique set of needs, abilities, and preferences. Simple recipes are provided for weight loss foods that reduce cravings and prolong satisfaction.
What this book offers is a solid approach to weight loss–self-directed, gradual, and lasting–in contrast to the quick but fleeting weight loss offered by most one-size-fits-all diet plans.

But it takes on a life of its own as she comes to know the women who have worn the dress. Emily from 1912. Mary Grace from 1939. Hillary from 1968. Each with her own story of promise, pain, and destiny. And each with something unique to share. For woven within the threads of the beautiful hundred-year-old gown is the truth about Charlotte’s heritage, the power of courage and faith, and the timeless beauty of finding true love. “The story of four loveable women, miraculously bound by one gown, whose lives span a century . . . will take your breath away.” –Beth Webb Hart, bestselling author of Love, Charleston

N ot many people could put their finger on a map and find Bulgaria. Yet Kapka Kassabova hasn’t quite forgotten–sometimes not for want of trying–exactly where it is. Kapka was born in the muddy outskirts of Sofia, Bulgaria, and has loved and hated her homeland in equal measures ever since. She grew up under the drab, gray mantle of one of communism’s most mindlessly authoritarian regimes, escaping with her family after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Now that Bulgaria has finally made it (to the surprised incredulity of many Bulgarians) into the European Union, she’s gone home, but how do you feel about a home that you hated when you lived there and have spent most of your life trying to escape? In this illuminating and gorgeously written memoir, Kapka revisits Bulgaria and her own muddled relationship to it, traveling back to the scenes of her childhood, sampling its bizarre tourist sites, uncovering its centuries’ old history of bloodshed and blurred borders, and capturing the absurdities and idiosyncrasies of her own and her country’s past.

Genre(s): Politics & Social Sciences, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Religion & Spirituality, Occult, Self-Help, Motivational, Spiritual, History, Americas, Mexico, Occultism
T his may be the last self-empowerment book you will ever need.
Shaahin Cheyene, writer, filmmaker, and herbalist, outlines a new and highly effective extra-strength, no-excuses, fierce, and aggressive system of self-empowerment formulated to take you out of your weak, false reality and deliver you into a true and more authentic you.
From the teachings of Ehekateotl, one of the last great living medicine men from the Aztec Tetzkatlipoka Tradition of Darkness, Cheyene extracts and reveals a practical philosophy known as The Law of Opposites. It teaches that all answers are found in balancing life s opposing extremes through a discipline whose primary principle is, as Cheyene writes: The Dogma of No Dogma.
In Darkness, Cheyene challenges us to eliminate our expectations and to live at ease in a world of relentless change and chaos. By embracing The Darkness, we confront our fears and kill the dogma that deprives us, liberating us from restriction. Through The Darkness you, too, can discover The Power of Illumination.
Editorial Reviews
Illuminating and Engaging. Cheyene intelligently describes a new paradigm extracted from the teachings of one of the last great living Aztec Medicine Men that involves the integration of ancient and modern knowledge into a new movement.
Daniel Pinchbeck Author 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl –Daniel Pinchbeck Author 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl
Powerful and thought provoking, Darkness is a unique and bold approach to spiritual awakening. Drawing upon ancient Aztec traditions, Cheyene offers the reader a new way of coping with the contradictions of life, and presents an illuminating path to personal and cosmic mastery. Darkness will entice spiritual seekers, both old and new, to take a journey they will never forget.
Ron Scolastico, Ph.D. Author of Becoming Enlightened; Twelve Keys to Higher Consciousness –Ron Scolastico, Ph.D. Author of Becoming Enlightened; Twelve Keys to Higher Consciousness
Shaahin has accomplished he enormous task of translating the eternal truths of the healing power of darkness into a common sense, coherent weave of wisdom, stories, and the courageous plans of action of the spiritual warrior.
This book will shake the very foundation on which you stand, and this internal earthquake will plunge you into the ember seed of light/dark consciousness. Embrace the path of the unknown; in that darkness, you will find your true soul purpose which you were born to fulfill on this planet. Darkness: The Power Of Illumination will be a must read for all the people I serve.

Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson’s First Season (No Series) by Jonathan Eig
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Ethnic & National, African-American & Black, People, A-Z, ( R ), Robinson, Jackie, History, Americas, United States, 20th Century, Sports & Outdoors, Baseball, Biographies
A pril 15, 1947, marked the most important opening day in baseball history. When Jackie Robinson stepped onto the diamond that afternoon at Ebbets Field, he became the first black man to break into major-league baseball in the twentieth century. World War II had just ended. Democracy had triumphed. Now Americans were beginning to press for justice on the home front — and Robinson had a chance to lead the way. He was an unlikely hero. He had little experience in organized baseball. His swing was far from graceful. And he was assigned to play first base, a position he had never tried before that season. But the biggest concern was his temper. Robinson was an angry man who played an aggressive style of ball. In order to succeed he would have to control himself in the face of what promised to be a brutal assault by opponents of integration. In Opening Day, Jonathan Eig tells the true story behind the national pastime’s most sacred myth. Along the way he offers new insights into events of sixty years ago and punctures some familiar legends. Was it true that the St. Louis Cardinals plotted to boycott their first home game against the Brooklyn Dodgers? Was Pee Wee Reese really Robinson’s closest ally on the team? Was Dixie Walker his greatest foe? How did Robinson handle the extraordinary stress of being the only black man in baseball and still manage to perform so well on the field? Opening Day is also the story of a team of underdogs that came together against tremendous odds to capture the pennant. Facing the powerful New York Yankees, Robinson and the Dodgers battled to the seventh game in one of the most thrilling World Series competitions of all time. Drawing on interviews with surviving players, sportswriters, and eyewitnesses, as well as newly discovered material from archives around the country, Jonathan Eig presents a fresh portrait of a ferocious competitor who embodied integration’s promise and helped launch the modern civil-rights era. Full of new details and thrilling action, Opening Day brings to life baseball’s ultimate story.

Agents began leaving the business in 2008 due to the so-called “market downturn”. Why? They had NOT CHANGED their marketing as the consumers changed their behavior. The few agents who had at least some internet presence continued to get leads and business. Those that had always relied upon print advertising saw that their business was going down so what did they do? Spent MORE money on ads. It took me about 9 months of researching, writing, and experimenting and I developed two 3 hour training classes on “How to Use Free Internet Tools to Generate Traffic and Leads”. I even sent the two classes to our State Real Estate Commission and they were APPROVED as CE classes (imagine a course on how to make more money being approved!). I started offering them as CE classes – and guess what happened? The Agents That took the classes and USED the techniques began to get ONLINE leads and Business. The local Board Scheduled a full day for me to teach these 2 classes on March 4th, 2009. The Course Sold out a FULL WEEK before it was scheduled to take place That had NEVER happened before I called a professional film production crew and scheduled for them to be there. It was a tense and exciting day – and the agents that attended absolutely gobbled up the information. And That’s how the “Real Estate Rocket Fuel” Training Course was born

A KINDLE TOP 100 BESTSELLER#1 AMAZON KINDLE BESTSELLER IN “HARD BOILED”UNLEASHED is FREE for a limited time! (3/20-3/22)
The Sydney Rye series of mysteries features a strong female protagonist and her rescue dog, Blue. This series is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy some violence, don’t mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to mention an awesome, rollicking good mystery!
When the series begins Sydney Rye is named Joy Humbolt. She does not like people telling her what to do, so it comes as no surprise that she was just fired from her last job. When she buys Charlene Miller’s dog-walking business on Manhattan’s exclusive upper east side, it seems like the perfect fit: Quiet environment, minimal contact with people.
But then one of her clients turns up dead, and Charlene disappears. Rumors say Charlene was having an affair with the victim–and of course, everyone assumes Joy must know where she is. Joy begins to look into the crime, first out of curiosity then out of anger when there is another murder and threats start to come her way.
When police detective Mulberry is assigned to the case, Joy finds a kindred spirit–cynical and none-too-fond of the human race. As they dig deep into the secrets of Manhattan’s elite, they not only get closer to the killer but also to a point of no return. One last murder sends Joy Humbolt hurtling over the edge. Her only chance of survival is to become Sydney Rye.
UNLEASHED is the first book in Emily Kimelman’s best selling Sydney Rye series of dark murder mysteries. DEATH IN THE DARK (A Sydney Rye Novella, #2) and INSATIABLE (A Sydney Rye Novel, #3) are both available in the Kindle Store.

Successfully Selling Your Home by Sissy Lappin
Genre(s): Business & Investing, Real Estate, Buying & Selling Homes, Industries & Professions
O ver the past ten years, I have seen a dramatic narrowing of the gap in knowledge between homebuyers, sellers, and agents. Buyers are now very educated, using websites like Trulia and Zillow to house hunt from the comfort of their own space. HGTV, to which I will admit my own addiction, has buyers searching for their dream homes online between meals. While this is great publicity for the real estate industry, it does not translate into easy sales. I remember the days when potential homebuyers were limited to the handful of options presented to them by a real estate agent. Now, they can virtually tour millions of houses with a few simple clicks! Imagine selling your home in a landscape where it must compete with thousands of properties in your area rather than a selection of homes chosen by an agent. This means sellers have to step up their game.
Successfully Selling Your Home is like a self-help guide for anyone, homeowner or real estate agent alike, that is trying to sell a house. Nearly every one of us, sometime in our life, will have to go through the home selling process. Many of us will opt to rely on the know-how of a professional agent. I have learned over 28 years of real estate experience that it is simply not enough to turn over your house keys to an agent and expect a check one week later well above your asking price. That may happen occasionally in dreams, but rarely in reality. As the real estate industry evolves, so do the techniques for selling a home. There is a growing incentive for homeowners to be active participants in the selling process.
I wrote this book to give sellers and agents a quick education on what is happening in today’s real estate market, so they can maximize their value and work together efficiently and effectively. It is a partnership that, if treated as such, can add value to any home.

The world has changed. People live forever, but children are a thing of the past. To meet the demands of want-to-be parents, children have been replaced with androids… very life-like androids.
Josh, a twelve-year old boy, is hit by a truck, leaving him badly damaged. Instead of paying the outrageous cost to fix him, they dump him in the wilderness.
Broken Things follows Josh and his journey to a home that doesn’t want him anymore, through a setting that darkly mirrors our own. Along the way, he must face the fears of abandoned children, from the wilderness to the city streets, and the predators that dwell in both. His only salvation may rest in finding a single person that cares.

Fire & Ice (Icefire Trilogy) by Patty Jansen
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Epic
Deep under the City of Glass in the frozen southern land, an age-old machine called the Heart of the City radiates a power which locals call icefire. Most citizens are immune to it, but a few, always born with physical disabilities, can bend it to their will. For fifty years, the ruling Eagle Knights, who fly on the back of giant birds, have killed these Imperfects, fearing the return of the old royal family, who used icefire to cut out people’s hearts, turning them into ghostly servitors.
The old king’s grandson Tandor only sees the good things icefire brought: power and technology now forgotten while the people of the south live in dire poverty. He’s had enough of seeing his fellow kinsfolk slaughtered by ignorant Knights, of Imperfect babies being abandoned on the ice floes to be eaten by wild animals. His grandfather’s diary tells him how to increase the beat of the Heart the first step to making the land glorious once more. Arrogant as he is, he sets the machine in motion. All he needs is an army of Imperfect servitors to control the resulting power.
Isandor is Imperfect, an ex-Knight apprentice, betrayed by his best friend and running for his life.
The queen Jevaithi is Imperfect, living like a prisoner amidst leering Knights, surviving only because the common people would rebel if their beloved queen were harmed.
Both are young and desperate and should be grateful that Tandor wants to rescue them from their hopeless situations. Or so he thinks. The youngsters, however, have no inclination to become heartless ghosts, but while they defy Tandor, the Heart beats, and he alone cannot control its power.
