After sixty years of marriage and five daughters, Lynn “Lovey” White knows that all of us, from time to time, need to use our little white lies. Her granddaughter, Annabelle, on the other hand, is as truthful as they come. She always does the right thing… that is, until she dumps her hedge fund manager fiancé and marries a musician she has known for three days. But when Annabelle’s world starts to collapse around her, she discovers that nothing about her picture-perfect family is as it seems. Kristy Woodson Harvey’s returns with Lies and Other Acts of Love, an intriguing look at what it really means to tell the truth. Kristy blogs at Design Chic about how creating a beautiful home can be the catalyst for creating a beautiful life, and her writing has appeared in numerous publications and websites.

Smarter, Faster, Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg draws on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics—as well as the experiences of CEOS, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters to explain that the most productive people and organizations don’t just act differently. They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways. Charles is a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter for The New York Times and winner of the National Academies of Sciences, National Journalism, and George Polk awards.

Apr 18: 1] James MacManus’ Midnight in Berlin 2] All In: Don’t Forget Dad! ~ PODCAST

April 18, 2016

Returning guest James MacManus has created his own niche… intertwining fiction and real-life little known historical events that, had they gone another way, could have completely altered the world as we know it. Based on the true story of a plan by the British military attaché in Berlin to assassinate Hitler in 1939, Midnight in Berlin has created a captivating love story in a city shifting into a horrifying period of history. With characters whose passions compel the reader to savor every moment of their story, MacManus explores an often overlooked near miss at preventing World War II.

Growing numbers of men are becoming stay-at-home dads, working part-time, or taking on flexible schedules to spend more time with their children. Even the traditional breadwinner-dad is being transformed. Dads today are more emotionally and physically involved on the home front than ever before. Journalist and fatherhood columnist Josh Levs has the answer in All In: How Our Work-First Culture Fails Dads, Families, and Businesses – And How We Can Fix It Together.

James MacManus is back with his latest in reality-based fiction, Midnight in Berlin. In 1939, British Colonel Noel Macrae, stationed in Berlin and witness to the rise of the Reich, decides that he might be the only Englishman with the opportunity to avert war. As he attempts to convince the British government of his mission, the colonel becomes torn between his government’s orders and his own personal beliefs, especially as he falls in love with a German-Jewish woman. What the colonel doesn’t know is that the Gestapo has formed a plan of its own and he finds himself caught up in a tangled web of shifting loyalties, corruption, and shocking indifference. MacManus has worked in the newspaper business for 50 years and is currently the managing director of The Times Literary Supplement. He has written 4 novels and a screenplay that was made into a film starring Jonathan Rhys Meyer.

When journalist and fatherhood columnist Josh Levs was denied fair parental leave by his employer after his child was born, he fought back—and corporate America responded. In All In: How Our Work-First Culture Fails Dads, Families, and Businesses – And How We Can Fix It Together, he shows how fatherhood today is far different from previous generations and what it means for our individual lives, families, workplaces, and society. Combining Levs’ personal experiences with investigative reporting and frank conversations with fathers about everything from work life to money to sex, All In busts popular myths, lays out facts, uncovers the forces holding all of us back, and shows how we can join together to change them.

March 14, 2016

Let go of the past, stop putting your dreams on the backburner, and become satisfied even when things are not “just right” with author and life coach Diane Altomare‘s Clarity: Ten Proven Strategies to Transform Your Life. We’ll talk about transference, negativity in relationships, what self-abandonment means and why we do it. And how to create our own extraordinary opportunities.

Diane Altomare is an integrative life coach and keynote speaker at lectures and events around the country, splitting her time between sunny Southern California and rainy Seattle — the best of both worlds.

Returning guest Nicole Lapin, author of Rich Bitch: A Simple 12-Step Plan for Getting Your Financial Life Together… Finally says her work resonates with Americans because, “I don’t speak in jargon. I didn’t work at a bank; I didn’t get my MBA. I’m just a girl who grew up in an immigrant family and learned the hard way … I went to the money school of hard knocks.”

We’ll share why it’s not about a budget, it’s about a spending plan … and NO you don’t have to give up your morning latte. Why women should stop smiling and nodding. And why it’s so important for women to control their own financial situations.  Nicole Lapin is the first woman to hold the title of GOBankingRates’ Best Money Expert of 2015.  She was also the youngest anchor ever at CNN, before holding the same title at CNBC anchoring “Worldwide Exchange”.

October 10, 2011

 

Today, Vicki talks with George N. Collins, the founder and director of Compulsion Solutions, a counseling service for men who suffer from sexually compulsive behavior. Collins is a former sex addict who overcame his compulsions, and earned his Masters in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. His new book is titled Breaking the Cycle: Free Yourself from Sex Addiction, Porn Obsession, and Shame.

Larry King says it is “one of the most important books you’ve read in a long time.” Robert Mayer is no stranger to argument. He received both his business and law degrees from UCLA-Berkeley and his firm represents clients both big and small, negotiating deals on practically anything. His vast experience shows in his new book How To Win Any Argument: Without Raising Your Voice, Losing Your Cool, or Coming To Blows. He introduces the reader to the art of the argument and how to tackle the “new normal.”

Nationally known clinical psychologist Dr. Fran Cohen Praver recognizes the simple truth that everyone wants to love and be loved. She also recognizes that it’s that very truth that causes so much hurt when love falters and relationships begin to drown. In her new book, The New Science of Love: How Understanding Your Brain’s Wiring Can Help Rekindle Your Relationship, Dr. Praver draws on cutting edge neurological findings and her twenty years as a therapist to prove that we can use our brains to pull love from the edge of the cliff and bring it back into our lives.
