Mindreader:

The New Science of Deciphering What People Really Think, What They Really Want, and Who They Really Are

Tired of guessing what they’re really thinking? Read people in every situation—in person, on a screen, or in writing—using the new science of psycholinguistics, from a New York Times bestselling author and consultant to the FBI, CIA, and NSA. 

  

“A treasure trove of concepts, ideas, and tools that we can all master to be safer and happier. It’s a must-read!”—Joe Navarro, author of Dangerous Personalities 

What did your boss mean in that email? Is your mechanic stretching the truth? Whether you’re engaged in a casual conversation or a high-stakes negotiation, it’s critical to understand the subtext of a situation. But with so much interaction happening on screens—via email, texts, or video chat—we are losing the ability to interpret expressions and cues. Furthermore, since many are now savvy about the meaning of body language, it’s become even harder to discern someone’s true thoughts or intentions.

A leading lie-detection expert who instructs the FBI and other security agencies, noted psychotherapist David Lieberman, PhD, takes “people reading” to a whole new level. Drawing on the latest research in psycholinguistics—the cues embedded in spoken and written speech—he shows you how to apply his cutting-edge methods to countless everyday situations, including: 

• Detecting the messaging behind passive language, personal or impersonal descriptions, and level of detail.

• Determining whether someone’s account of any incident is the truth or a work of fiction.

• Finding out whether a potential hire, dating app match, or new babysitter is trustworthy or hiding something.

 

Nobody wants to be played a fool. Mindreader will help us identify who can be trusted, and who may be out to get us.

The Saturn Diaries: A Modern Day Grimoire

Fashion bitch turned wellness witch, Cardsy B, shares her irresistibly witty and raw account of seemingly having, then losing, it all to redirect inward to find healing and purpose in unlocking her intuition.

Before becoming Cardsy B, Rebecca Szymczak was a rebellious outcast from rural Pennsylvania, determined to live the quintessential Manhattan life, landing high-level fashion jobs, celebrity friends, and even her own lingerie line along the way. But by age thirty-one, an astrological transit-known as Saturn's Return-gate-crashed her life, stripping away her self-identity and exposing a battle with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, just beneath the glossy surface.

As she began to rebuild her life, Cardsy revisited her childhood hobby of pulling tarot cards. In doing so, she reconnected with her intuition in powerful and often unexpected ways.

The Saturn Diaries is the compelling record of that journey, involving everything, from a homemade Oprah-ator phone created to dial the universe to a solo trek through the Costa Rican Jungle to participate in an Ayahuasca ceremony.

Part memoir and part spellbook, each chapter features a spell, elixir, or ritual. The Saturn Diaries is an intensely moving and often hilarious chronicle of discovery and remembrance. It reveals the magic that occurs when you acknowledge the seeker within and begin listening to your own inner guidance system.

Editorial reviews:

“The Saturn Diaries translates complex spiritual experiences into terrestrial language in a hilarious and heartwarming manner.”

–Cat Greenleaf, 4x Emmy Award winning host

“A binge-worthy beach read for the magically inclined.”

–Abigail Breslin

“Witchy and funny, vulnerable and practical, with a side of sexy…”

–Stephanie Simbari, Comedian and Host of That’s So Retrograde

“Cardy’s highly awaited “grimoire” is uplifting and self-loving. She compiled a lifehack guide to making the most out of life while letting authenticity be your guiding light.”

–Ocean Drive Magazine

“For those seeking to connect with their inner magic (The Saturn Diaries) is a must read.”

–Gotham Magazine

Pura Vida

Detroit homicide detective Jacob Miller has been accused of many things, but being smart isn't one of them. The murder of drug dealer Willy is proof enough of that, but not covering it up is even worse.

But even the stupidest people have occasional flashes of brilliance, and Jacob is no exception. After being released from prison and moving to sunny Costa Rica, he solves an international murder mystery involving the usual suspects: love, lust, and murder.

Despite that mildly brainiac feather in his cap, he still has to deal with the beef between him, his fellow inmate, and the mob boss...and the violent fallout that ensues.

The Letter Carrier

A WWII coming-of age story based on three years of interviews with Michelle Naget, whose family members spent four years as captives in their own home after it was commandeered by the Nazis.

"This book should be mandatory reading for every student in grade 10." N.N. Light, author.

“ . . . filled me with such faith and hope.”

“ . . . harrowing, powerful, and breathtaking.”

“. . . a story that will stick with me forever.”

“The Letter Carrier absolutely took my breath away.”

“Brilliantly and beautifully written!”

When the German march across Europe reaches France, young Michelle Naget and her family join the throngs fleeing for safety. But their flight ends in capture by the Nazis, with one member of the family taken, while the rest of the family is sent back to their village of Braquis, France, to serve the enemy who has commandeered their home.

For the next four years, the Nagets live in the crosshairs of the enemy living under their roof and of the neighbors who question the family's loyalties. Every day becomes a test of faith for Michelle-in God, in family, in the hope that the Allies will come, and in the letters from a young French rebel named Légère who promises Michelle that she will be free again.

But when the Nazis' torment increases, and the razor-thin line between life and death narrows for the Nagets, the family's motto, "We do what must be done," and Michelle's faith in God, give her the courage to face her enemy and do whatever she must to protect the family she loves.

Excerpt:

"While the boys ran and tumbled in the grass, I studied these

refugees. I feared the word and the people it described—dirty,

needy, ragged wanderers. The hungry children were gnawing on a raw parsnip when Mother arrived with the bread. The displaced mother wept over the loaf, and then I felt it, the childishness peeling off my heart, allowing me to see past the soil and tears that marred the peoples’ clothes, to see the spark of divinity hidden behind their downcast eyes. I felt God expand my heart, then bathe me in understanding as Mother’s phrase returned to me—we do what must be done.

"I could no longer ignore the prospect of change because Hitler’s forces were elsewhere, in someone else’s land. His army was near, very near, and coming our way."

The Ghost Whisperer's Assistant

Hannah is stubborn and outspoken, and no one will stop her from being who she wants to be.

Hannah left home to escape a controlling celebrity mother to live with her cantankerous nan in the country. Her life would never be the same. In the first twenty-four hours, she had witnessed a ghost dragged unwillingly into a portal and discovered she had psychic abilities. And if that's not enough, Hannah finds herself investigating two murders fifteen years apart. If only the spirits of the victims could tell her what happened. Did she think it would be that easy?

Finding a connection between the murders was one thing after so much time had passed; avoiding being the third would be more challenging. At the same time, adjusting to country life had its hazards in the form of a charismatic eco-warrior who had caught Hannah's eye, drawn to the individual that everyone agrees is a bad choice.

Bully Shack:

A Compelling Story About Fighting

The Kid learned the hard way that you can try to be a pacifist in a world full of clenched fists, stiff upper lips and mean looks, but it won’t get you far—and it might get you killed.

Olebark—The Kid—grew up in a community infested by fighting, bullying, organized fight clubs, gambling, and hoodlums. A world of few laws and fewer smiles and the backdrop to the incident that changed him forever. Traumatized and beaten at the age of six, The Kid decides to take things into his own hands—in fact, his own fists.

A fictionalized account of a true event, Bully Shack takes you on the intrepid journey of a boy that was initiated into his childhood through a brutal beating at the age of six. Traumatized and terrified, he vowed to fight his way out of his rotten world.

While The Kid fights his own battles, the institutionalized bullying and unwilling-sex-in-return-for-protection go on around him, ensnaring almost everyone he knows in its horrid web. Girls “put out” so that they are exempt from being mistreated, beaten and raped. Other boys are dragooned into a nightmarish Fight Club world—where nobody talks about it because they are too intimidated to do so.

To tell is to risk all.

In this true tale, one boy’s courageous battle against intimidation and emotional, spiritual and physical torture inspires those around him to rise up and fight—to fight for their lives.
