The Boy Behind the China Cabinet by Paul LaGreca is a beautiful memoir about one man's journey in coming to terms with himself. Born into a large Italian family living in the Bronx, Paul has been raised the Catholic way all his life. Paul begins the book by recounting his first personal encounter with God as a child, trying to find his way home on a cold night. Whether it's navigating an acting career as a Hollywood star or pursuing the life of a missionary in the Sacred Heart Convent, Paul weaves a memorable story of self-discovery and faith. Filled with engaging stories about the Hollywood elite, meeting Mother Teresa, and persevering in troubled times, this memoir will inspire you.
Memoirs can be pretty hit-or-miss, depending on the author. I am happy to say that Paul LaGreca hit the ball out of the park with The Boy Behind the China Cabinet. His life story is unique, and Paul's charming, genuine voice shines through his storytelling. Paul has a way of conveying the emotions he felt at the time, allowing the reader to connect emotionally to his story. I sympathized with him when he struggled to adjust to life in a convent, separated from his family. When I read this book, I remembered thinking how God could use our worst moments to further His purpose. Because of the pain of watching his brother spiral into drug addiction, Paul grew to deeply love the drug addicts he served at the Queen of Peace soup kitchen. For those still finding their life's purpose, The Boy Behind the China Cabinet is the book is for you!

Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? How did I get here? What can I do to better my life? These are questions we all ask ourselves at one time or another. We are all on a road to self-discovery but each of us has our own unique way of reaching self-actualization. Throughout this guide, you will learn how your expectations, choices, and thoughts determine your outcome. What are the four types of communication and how can you execute each one more effectively? What are cognitive biases and distortions, and how are they affecting your life? Why are you failing to reach your goals and how can you create an action plan that you can follow? Unlike other self-help guides, Best is Temporary - Be Better by Joe Jekel requires a greater deal of participation by the reader, but in doing so you will understand the workings of the human mind, giving you all the tools you need to reach your greatest potential.
I was literally blown away by the contents of Best is Temporary - Be Better by Joe Jekel. It contains so much information regarding personal development. This is definitely not a book for someone who just wants a simple self-help book to find the motivation to change. This guide really digs deep into the human mind so you will understand the meaning behind every thought and action. I loved the self-efficacy and self-confidence comparison and the explanation of intuition and empathy. The Nine Interrogatives analysis was explained in detail but so clearly that anyone would be able to follow. This will help anyone make more informed choices. The teachings of Maslow, Jung, and Madzook really enhanced this guide and again explained so clearly. The questionnaires and exercises at the end of the guide were just the icing on the cake for me. It enabled me to bring all that I had learned throughout the book together. This is definitely not a guide for someone who likes to be told how to improve their personal development. If you want more than a self-help guide and to discover the true meaning of the human psyche then this guide is for you. Highly recommended.

Dr. Judith Briles’ When God Says NO is an inspirational book about her life and the many adversities she faced. With exceptional strength, Dr. Briles lets us in on how she overcame the hurdles life threw her way and teaches us how to see God’s yesses amidst the seemingly never-ending noes. Be it a loss of a loved one, a setback in your livelihood, or a relationship struggle, you will find inspiration on how to deal with these upheavals. When God Says NO will surely warm hearts and inspire us to keep putting one foot after the other despite any challenging situation. There will always be a YES lurking in all your noes.
Dr. Judith Briles’ When God Says NO is a must-read and I am glad I did. This book spoke to me on a personal level, having had my fair share of loss of loved ones, betrayal of a close friend, and career hurdles. Her experiences could’ve turned anyone into a bitter person but here she is, inspiring millions. Dr. Briles made me cry, made me laugh, and most of all, she inspired me. When God Says NO taught me not to be afraid to start over, to listen to my inner voice. It taught me a lot of things that I should know but for some reason take for granted. I will surely re-read this book several times to remind myself to look for the yesses. I must admit that I mostly have a negative outlook on life, especially during times of adversities. Dr. Briles gave me a different perspective at looking at my life and for that, I will always be grateful.

This work completes a memoir trilogy chronicling the journey of culture, empowerment, and identity of the author: the Dancing Soul Trilogy. After the harrowing experiences in a biracial orphanage in Africa’s Child and the promise of a fulfilling new life in America's Daughter, we come to a moment where the author wishes to connect both her past and present on a journey of self-discovery to Tanzania.

The journey of mind/emotional, physical and spiritual healing comes in many forms, and each person has his/her own unique path to finding wholeness. Author Johnson Chong shares his healing story in his memoir Sage Sapien: From Karma to Dharma. Chong has detailed his amazing journey in an authentic voice, including many moments of anger and rejection and then finding his way to self-acceptance and realization of unconditional love. Being a child of Chinese immigrant parents and growing up in the hectic surroundings of New York City provided an interesting blend of cultural, belief and family systems. Add in the fact that he realized at a young age that he was gay and felt drawn to acting only made the situation more complex. But he found the courage to face life challenges head-on, immersing himself in yoga and other healing modalities and eventually transforming his life.
Anyone who faces challenging life situations but is committed to finding healing will benefit greatly from this book. By sharing his experiences, perceived by Chong to be “successful” or “a failure” at the time, the author creates a realistic portrayal of a healing path. Learning life lessons is not a straightforward road and often has detours and wrong turns along the way. Within the telling of his story, Chong includes spiritual gems for the reader. A good barometer for a solid spiritual book is this: you can reread it over and over and find new gems each time. Sage Sapien: From Karma to Dharma by Johnson Chong is this kind of book – it is to be savored and reread!

Morgan Field’s Powerful As F*ck is a dynamic insight into tearing down insuperable obstacles preventing you from living your dreams. The trigger for this process came in the form of a question; are you loveable? In exploring her answer, Ms. Field was forced to take a deep look at all that she was. This self-examination led her to realize that the power to be the person she wanted to be was in her hands alone. By deciding who she wanted to be and implementing the mindset to become that person, all of the negative emotions, thoughts, and feelings were washed away on her journey to a dream life. This book takes us on that journey.
Powerful As F*ck is, as it says, powerful reading. In fact, in some ways, it was uncomfortable for me to read as it seemed to be talking directly to my life. Confronting these questions and looking deeply into the mirror can be a daunting challenge, but more importantly, it's a challenge no one can afford to ignore. This is a book you can’t read quickly as every page is packed with the tools and information vital to achieving your dream life. For those serious about their goals in life, this book needs to become your reference. One which should be re-read regularly and acted upon. I have started my new journey in life now as a result and will certainly be going back to this reference when I feel I am losing focus. It’s my view that the most important question of all is the one you ask on your death bed; do you have any regrets? I want to say NO.

The Little Love That Could: Stories of Tenacious Love, Underdogs, and Ragamuffins by Pamela Capone is an amazing compilation of wonderful stories that inspire love for self and, more importantly, for others. Through her family experiences and wonderful friendships, Capone shows how love can change and empower lives. She shares her story of adoption on how her adoptive parents gave her a home and loved her even though they were not her biological parents. Their sacrifice paved the way for even greater acts of love. She also includes friends’ stories, people who have given up their comfort for the benefit of others and also meaningful historical accounts like that of Rosa Parks. The stories are filled with beauty, love and courage. They show what simple acts of kindness and pluck can achieve.
All the characters in The Little Love That Could have something to offer. Most are heroes that will never receive recognition for the wonderful work they do or have already done. Still, they serve people with joy even when no one is looking. To me, this was the most inspirational part. Reading the book was like having a dialogue with a friend since the stories are told with humor and so much warmth. They instill faith and joy in a meaningful way. They also touch on social issues and the accounts reveal deep-rooted problems which can be solved through compassion and putting others first. Even though the characters come and go, they leave a deep-rooted impact and the stories do not feel rushed at all. The Little Love That Could is a must-read for anyone longing for some warmth and inspiration.

The Little Book of Stoicism by Jonas Salzgeber offers 'Timeless Wisdom to Gain Resilience, Confidence, and Calmness.' Originating in ancient Greece, the philosophy of Stoicism can help you overcome any of life’s challenges. Discover how you can overcome your self-limiting beliefs and control the emotions that are inhibiting you from becoming the best version of yourself. By learning the principles of Stoicism, you can choose the best response to any given situation, no matter how harsh. How can you deal effectively with toxic people and situations? How can you deal with grief or negative emotions? You will be surprised at how your deep-seated emotions are controlling your behaviour and holding you back from becoming the person you are meant to be. By following these principles, you will finally understand what is important in life and begin to take the steps toward a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
The title does not do justice to this excellent guide to Stoicism as the information inside the book is abundant. The author has explained the principles of Stoicism in such a way that anyone can understand. I took so much from this guide, but especially the principles outlined in the Stoic Happiness Triangle. The morning and evening rituals were really helpful too and could change anyone’s daily life, especially those who struggle with negative emotions. I found the teachings very similar to Buddhism, and the belief that thoughts, not people, dictate our state of mind was very enlightening. I feel this guide will have a positive impact on anyone and will really help them connect to their inner spirit and help them live a more fulfilled life which is more in line with their true character. I thank the author for creating such a great guide and explaining the philosophy of Stoicism in such a way that it will help anyone live a more productive and positive life. This book would make a great addition to any school library.
