Twenty-five years ago, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and her friends began sharing messages from a group entity that called themselves "Michael." Michael's words were offered without alteration or interpretation for seekers, students, and skeptics alike. Pragmatic, insightful, and often witty, Michael insisted their work was simply to help questioners become more aware and better able to make their own decisions in life. Through this initial volume, Messages From Michael, and three more that followed, Michael spoke to thousands who found new understandings of themselves. Unfortunately imitators and frauds have since exploited the Michael teachings-but even they admit that Messages From Michael was the first source of the teachings. Here, expanded for the twenty-first century, is the long-awaited new edition of this ground-breaking book.

This personal account of contact with the spirit realm offers insight into the mysteries of death and concrete evidence that life continues on. For most of his adult life, therapist George Dalzell didn’t believe in contact beyond the grave. But his perspective on reality was forever shifted after his friend Michael was killed. Dalzell had counseled people who claimed to hear voices. Now he was hearing a voice himself—one that was unmistakably Michael. The voice revealed information about Michael’s private life and possessions. Other phenomena followed, including apparitions of Michael and rose petals left in the pattern of an angel. And Dalzell wasn’t alone. Michael opened the channels to seven friends and family members, providing incontrovertible signs that prove he was communicating with them. In Messages, Dalzell adds indisputable confirmation of life after death. His uplifting story can offer comfort to grieving families and calm our fears of passing into the next realm.
Coaching is an essential skill for leaders. But for most busy, overworked managers, coaching employees is done badly, or not at all. They're just too busy, and it's too hard to change. But what if managers could coach their people in 10 minutes or less? In Michael Bungay Stanier's The Coaching Habit, coaching becomes a regular, informal part of your day so managers and their teams can work less hard and have more impact. Coaching is an art and it's far easier said than done. It takes courage to ask a question rather than offer up advice, provide an answer, or unleash a solution. Giving another person the opportunity to find their own way, make their own mistakes, and create their own wisdom is both brave and vulnerable. It can also mean unlearning our ''fix it'' habits. In this practical and inspiring book, Michael shares seven transformative questions that can make a difference in how we lead and support. And, he guides us through the tricky part - how to take this new information and turn it into habits and a daily practice. -Brené Brown, author of Rising Strong and Daring Greatly Drawing on years of experience training more than 10,000 busy managers from around the globe in practical, everyday coaching skills, Bungay Stanier reveals how to unlock your peoples' potential.
