Mark Bryan's work is bringing families together. He was a member of Oprah Winfrey's 1999 "Change Your Life" team and a regular on her show, where he reunites parents and children. Now, counselor, educator, and cofounder of The Artist's Way Workshops, Mark Bryan offers a book that will help all of us get closer to our family members and achieve deeper intimacy by cracking the
"Codes of Love"
As a counselor, Bryan reconnects parents and grown children despite the pain, bitterness, and anger when the work begins. In helping families find buried closeness, Bryan has learned many lessons about what it takes to open people's hearts. He shares these lessons here -- as well as his own family story, which he weaves throughout the book, a story that poignantly illustrates how reconnection is more than possible, even after years of separation.
Bryan's key insight is that families often communicate love in code, using words, actions, and behaviors that not only may obscure love but sometimes get interpreted as love's opposite. Messages of affection, caring, and concern may be sent in ways that other family members read as negative judgments, efforts to control and undermine. Gaps in communication cause the messages to get lost or distorted in transit. These gaps result from generational and life differences, contrasting emotional and conversational styles, "interference" from a legacy of past conflicts, and other factors. If you can decode your family's messages of love and affection, from the past and from today, you can open the door to richer family ties.
"Codes of Love" is a guidebook that offers the basic tools for creatingbetter relationships with parents, siblings, grown sons and daughters, spouses, even old friends -- all the loved ones in your life. Bryan explores why family affection so often gets buried or forgotten, then shows us how to recover warmth and rebuild family bonds. He gives readers the necessary tools to crack the codes of love in their own families and discover intimate connections they may not have known existed.
"What if you can love more than you know?"
Porque no hay quinto malo...
En el verano del 2004, María Antonieta Collins se pre-paraba para escribir su quinto libro, cuando de repente se vio propulsada al mismísimo centro de una telenovela mexicana. Después de casi una década de estar felizmente casada con su esposo, Fabio, su armoniosa existencia familiar se tornó en un huracán cuando la ex esposa de su marido reapareció intempestivamente en sus vidas. La mujer, una rusa que Fabio no había visto en más de trece años, llegó un día a Miami con las intenciones de recobrar a su ex marido y sacudir los cimientos de la vida que María Antonieta y Fabio tanto habían luchado por conseguir.
Enfrentada a esta difícil situación, María Antonieta tenía dos opciones: podía tomar el camino fácil y separarse de Fabio, o podía tomar el más difícil y aprender a no dejarse vencer por una situación que nada tenía que ver con ella. Entonces, con el valor y la perseverancia que la caracterizan, María Antonieta decidió ponerle buena cara al mal tiempo, y luchar de una vez por todas por el hombre que ama.
En este, su quinto libro, María Antonieta cuenta la historia de este doloroso momento de su vida y se adentra en el imprevisible mundo de los ex esposos, ex esposas, ex novios y ex novias. Hoy en día, todo el mundo tiene un "ex" y para sobrevivir a lo que puede llegar a ser una experiencia desgarradora y aniquilante, hay que saber mantenerse firme, y confiar tanto en sí mismo como en la persona que se ama. A través de la pesadilla que tuvo que vivir con la ex esposa de su marido, y los muchos otros "ex" de su vida, María Antonieta ayuda una vez más a sus lectores, ofreciéndoles su humor y sus consejos más acertados para aprender a tomar la decisión adecuada en el momento adecuado.

Who hasn't heard about the dangers of smoking, obesity, and substance abuse? But no matter how much you know in your heart that you shouldn't have that drink, smoke that cigarette, or eat that chocolate, you know just as well that you will.
There is something powerful about a craving. It's not that we're poorly informed, it's that we can't stop ourselves. Our biology -- our craving mechanism -- has us standing before a firing squad, shouting, "Come on already, shoot!" Anyone who has been on a diet (or ten) or quit smoking...again and again...knows how true this is.
Yefim Shubentsov is changing all that. Shubentsov has no time for draconian measures or asceticism; life, he says, is meant to be enjoyed. His simple technique employs a new perspective on craving and a heavy dose of common sense mixed with a powerful new discovery: Bio Energy. The result of years of behind-the-iron-curtain research, Bio Energy is a force within each one of us that waits only to be stirred. By understanding your cravings and awakening your Bio Energy, the bonds of addiction are easily thrown off.
Yefim Shubentsov is placing the power to cure your cravings right in your hands. In this book, he will reveal -- for the first time -- the effective methods he has used to help 90,000 people regain control of their lives. This strategy, the Shubentsov Solution, enables people to stop smoking, overeating, and craving -- without patches, questionable drugs, or denial.
