Because, being the Female Breadwinner can fundamentally challenge women's identity. It is the trigger, catalyst and cause for many complex issues that women have to manage. For a successful family life and career, women must address and examine these internal challenges for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Find out: where your guilt button is and who is pressing it, what you love about being breadwinner that you were afraid to admit, how you tackle the thorny subject of money, how to cure yourself of Superwoman Syndrome
Drooling fanatic, n. 1. One who drools in the presence of beloved rock stars. 2. Any of a genus of rock-and-roll wannabes/geeks who walk around with songs constantly ringing in their ears, own more than 3,000 albums, and fall in love with at least one record per week. With a life that’s spanned the phonographic era and the digital age, Steve Almond lives to Rawk. Like you, he’s secretly longed to live the life of a rock star, complete with insane talent, famous friends, and hotel rooms to be trashed. Also like you, he’s content (sort of) to live the life of a rabid fan, one who has converted his unrequited desires into a (sort of) noble obsession. Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life traces Almond’s passion from his earliest (and most wretched) rock criticism to his eventual discovery of a music-crazed soul mate and their subsequent production of two little superfans. Along the way, Almond reflects on the delusional power of songs, the awkward mating habits of drooling fanatics, and why Depression Songs actually make us feel so much better. The book also includes: • sometimes drunken interviews with America’s finest songwriters • a recap of the author’s terrifying visit to Graceland while stoned • a vigorous and credibility-shattering endorsement of Styx’s Paradise Theater • recommendations you will often choose to ignore • a reluctant exegesis of the Toto song “Africa” • obnoxious lists sure to piss off rock critics But wait, there’s more. Readers will also be able to listen to a special free mix designed by the author, available online at www.stevenalmond.com, for the express purpose of eliciting your drool. For those about to rock—we salute you!

Diamond at Your Rock Bottom: Turning Adversity into Triumph In this transformative debut, Dr. Bolu Oladini, a dynamic pharmaceutical executive and serial entrepreneur, extends a compelling invitation to young adults in their 20s and 30s. Drawing from a rich tapestry of wisdom that blends stoicism, Zen, modern psychology, and Christianity, Dr. Oladini guides readers through a comprehensive framework to use personal and professional adversity as stepping stones to self-transformation through post-traumatic growth. His unique approach encourages readers who have gone through traumatic experiences (“rock bottom”) to use the aftermath of the crisis to re-assess and re-create themselves into the best version of themselves (a “diamond”). Dr. Oladini employs the powerful metaphor of a diamond—crafted under pressure from rough coal—to illustrate the potential for beauty and success from life's hardest moments. This book will flip your perspective, revealing that rock bottom is not a pit of despair, but a launching pad for finding your true potential. The journey laid out in Diamond at Your Rock Bottom is not about merely surviving challenges, but transforming them into catalysts for profound personal growth. His unique model breaks down the path to post-traumatic growth. Dr. Oladini’s book takes readers on a journey with his methodical framework that includes insightful and often counterintuitive ideas in chapters discussing failure, acceptance, identity, values, habits, relationships, intuition, and courage. With a wide variety of stories and examples to drive home his points, Oladini shows us the common threads in people and companies who are able to overcome and transcend adversity. As he states in the first chapter, “The pressure that will form your diamond is your journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and spiritual awakening after reaching rock bottom.” Similar to how coal can turn into a diamond after undergoing thousands of pounds of pressure, this book is a guide to show the reader how to create and uncover their own diamond. Readers will leave with a sense of renewed hope, energy, and insight. Go to www.boluoladini.com today to find out more and get your copy.

There has never been a better time to for a handbook focused on women in science. In May 2016, the American Association for the Advancement of Science posted an article titled “We need to do more for women in science.” This book describes the importance of carving out spaces for women in science and includes the unique strengths of women scientists as well as challenges they tend to face. Studies of women leadership consistently illustrate that women demonstrate strengths in leadership across communities and have skills in bringing together groups towards a common goal. The role of women in context is an important one in science, but has not been the focus of previous texts about careers in science or medicine. This first of its kind book develops an understanding of research careers occurring within a greater community of colleagues and academicians as well as the fact that women themselves lead within a group, a community, and a context. The book focuses on women who are pursuing research careers in academic medicine with specific emphasis on women in science and research as well as lessons learned from fellow female scientists. It also provides key strategies and skills centered on the social ecological model as well as a sense of community with other women scientists. The book is organized thematically using the social ecological model as a framework in which we all live and complete our work. Women Rock Science is a valuable resource that can be used in a variety of settings. It is beneficial for University classes as well as lab group meetings. It also places an emphasis on community and can be shared with one’s community of mentors, mentees and colleagues.
