Wine Hack: Wine Education That Starts with Your Mouth Not with Your Head

Contributor: Schiller, Jeffrey

Annotation: Why is wine so difficult? It might be because we in the industry have long used ridiculous tasting notes to describe wine, even though these descriptions fail to encapsulate all that a wine offers. Notes of blackberries, tobacco, and leather. How does this odd list of a few flavors help you decide if you will like a wine?

“Wine Hack” offers a new way forward. Learn wine like we in the industry learn wine. Spoiler: lots of tasting! This interactive book asks you to taste along with everyday food, drinks, and widely available wines to learn the four attributes that describe all wines, and even learn a few tricks for pairing wine with food.

This is the first book on wine that starts with your mouth, not your head. Teach your mouth wine and you will learn to find wines you love on a regular basis, no matter how snooty that wine shop guy is.”

Miserably Happy: Infuse Your Life with Genuine Meaning, Purpose, Health, and Happiness

Contributor(s): Brannick, Kevin J (Author); Brannick, Michelle A (Author)

Annotation: Happiness is one of the most written about topics in the world. It has been a core concern of humans since the beginning of time. However, “Miserably Happy” provides a unique lens in which to view this powerful emotion. While acknowledging the positive dimension of happiness (as most books do), “Miserably Happy” is also focused on the negative consequences. These negative consequences are based on the current academic and popular conceptualization of happiness being related to the experience of pleasure. In recognizing the negative dimension of happiness, “Miserably Happy” explains how the pursuit of happiness often leads to misery. Twelve-step programs are an example of how various pursuits of happiness can have tragic consequence. Alcoholism, drug abuse, over eating, and sex addiction all begin with the pursuit of pleasure and the hope of happiness.

NEW YORK—February 2, 2016–Morgan James’s new release, Insane Roots: The Adventures of a Con-Artist and Her Daughter A Memoir by Tiffany Rochelle, is a riveting memoir following the life of a criminal and her unsuspecting daughter.

There is no one children t 9781630476298 rust more than their parents. This is the reason why young Tiffany Rochelle never doubted that her mother was exactly who she said she was. As far as she knew, her mother was a nice, normal woman, just like every other mom.

By the time Tiffany was an adult, her mother had assumed twenty-seven different identities, and Tiffany was dragged along for the ride.

Insane Roots chronicles the life of a criminal’s unassuming daughter, and how her journey shaped and inspired her to be nothing like her mother. Emotionally charged and packed with details of their life on the run, Tiffany Rochelle’s memoir is intriguing and moving. She discusses how her mother’s criminal lifestyle led her to meet some of the most important people in her life, and how she learned from her mother’s mistakes. Highlighting the importance of family and the inherent good in others, Insane Roots: The Adventures of a Con-Artist and Her Daughter A Memoir takes a negative situation and draws positive life lessons from it.

Choosing to let her chaotic upbringing help her, as a person rather than damage her, Tiffany has now become a wildly ambitious and highly successful artist. Her ability to find strength in the midst of her obstacles shows how a positive outlook can have an immense impact on every situation. A true story that carries an empowering message and reads as grippingly as a novel, Insane Roots: The Adventures of a Con-Artist and Her Daughter A Memoir will both inspire and entertain readers.

It’s Never Too Late: Getting Older, Wiser, and Worry Free in Our Golden Years

Contributor: Page, Scott

Annotation: We re all going to die. Jolting, yes, but an important truth we must face because most people, when left to their own devices, choose the easier path of living in fantasy rather than reality. It s high time we come to terms with our mortality because the outlook for many of us is one of overwhelming fear and horror about the reality of growing old in America. What s worse, far too many of us are well aware of the dire forecast for our future but feel utterly powerless in its wake. But it doesn t have to be that way.

Towards getting ourselves back on track or helping elder parents and loved ones do the same, Scott Page gives us easy (and even fun) ways to develop a workable plan for living out our lives with greater peace of mind and security regardless of our current age and station in life—leaving us wondering why we didn t do something about it sooner.

Says Who?: How One Simple Question Can Change the Way You Think Forever

Contributor: Nadrich, Ora

Annotation:

If there is an overriding philosophy that Ora Nadrich ascribes to, it is this: you can help yourself solve your own problems, you can do it daily, and the process doesn’t need to be complex. Flying in the face of the often oblique language of the self help movement, Ora, a certified life coach with a thriving practice in Los Angeles, prides herself on not only having devised a method of self discovery and mindful practice that is simple, direct and applicable to everyone, but is also easy to understand and put to use. And, like brushing your teeth, can be done daily and take about as much time. Simplicity is her mantra.

That philosophy forms the basis of, “Says Who? How One Simple Question Can Change the Way You Think Forever,” in which Ora vividly illustrates and breaks down her simple yet highly effective method, based on the principle that while we all face obstacles and negative thoughts in our lives, it is not enough to simply examine and be aware of them—we must question and challenge them in order to bring about true change.

Many of the obstacles people face,are the result of their own negative thoughts holding them back. And often those thoughts don’t even originate within them; they’re the ideas or opinions of someone else—a critical parent or angry spouse, for instance—which they believe without questioning to see if they’re even real or true. Since thoughts create beliefs—which then create behavior—negative thoughts are dangerous things to leave unchecked. You must question them, challenge them. Says Who?” shows us how.

More than simple “think positive” slogans and inspirational platitudes, this is not just a motivational book; instead “Says Who?” provides practical, tangible steps to tackling a condition that affects us all: negative thoughts.
