Think. Feel. Dream. Believe. "Inside each one of us is a BeliefWorks that takes the raw potential of belief and creates a one-of-a-kind worldview driving everything we do. Our BeliefWorks manufactures the prism through which we see life and magically transforms what is into what we believe it is." The line between "the way it is" and what could be is often no more than a belief. As author Ray Dodd notes, what we believe is a riptide guiding the thoughts we think, the words we say, and the decisions we make. Belief touches every part of life; defining organizations, shaping trends, dividing families, and even igniting terrorism. BeliefWorks, Ray Dodd’s follow up to The Power of Belief will turn your mind inside out, casting a fresh light on how we love, work, play, and what holds us back from the life we desire. Discover seven secret keys for unlocking the true power of belief and put this extraordinary force to work for you.

In the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese?, Mr. Everit's Secret is a modern-day parable that examines many of our preconceived notions about money and our ability to create the good life. You can have everything you want in life--success, relationships, career, money, happiness--and it doesn't have to be a struggle. Most of us were taught that to reach our goals, we have to work hard and fight every step of the way. But it's simply not true. Syndicated columnist and esteemed corporate keynote speaker Alan H. Cohen shows us that our goals are already within reach but we are often too comfortable in our lives--even if our lives stink--to step forward into change. Mr. Everit's Secret imparts important lessons about changing from a fear mentality to a wealth mentality, overcoming small and self-defeating modes of thinking, and taking care of people while letting life take care of you. Bestselling author Alan Cohen shows us not only how to create financial success, but also that happiness and joy that must go along with it to make it all worthwhile.

In the summer of 1937, with the Depression deep and World War II looming, a California triple murder stunned an already grim nation. After a frantic week-long manhunt for the killer, a suspect emerged, and his sensational trial captivated audiences from coast to coast. Justice was swift, and the condemned man was buried away with the horrifying story. But decades later, Pamela Everett, a lawyer and former journalist, starts digging, following up a cryptic comment her father once made about a tragedy in their past. Her journey is uniquely personal as she uncovers her family's secret history, but the investigation quickly takes unexpected turns into her professional wheelhouse. Everett unearths a truly historic legal case that included one of the earliest criminal profiles in the United States, the genesis of modern sex offender laws, and the last man sentenced to hang in California. Digging deeper and drawing on her experience with wrongful convictions, Everett then raises detailed and haunting questions about whether the authorities got the right man. Having revived the case to its rightful place in history, she leaves us with enduring concerns about the death penalty then and now. A journey chronicled through the mind of a lawyer and from the heart of a daughter, Little Shoes is both a captivating true crime story and a profoundly personal account of one family's struggle to cope with tragedy through the generations.
