EMBARK ON A JOURNEY TO DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SELF If someone asks you who you are, you probably have a pat answer that tells them what you do. But saying who you are? That’s not always so easy. In See Yourself Beautiful, See Yourself Happy: An Invitation to Discover Who You Were Meant to Be, Sonia Luna invites you to discover your true identity as a beloved child of God. Through each chapter, Sonia shows her vulnerability, sharing details of her life as a daughter, wife, mother, and minister of the Lord. She offers insights into spiritual, psychological, and emotional issues that confront us as life unfolds. In an intimate, relatable narrative, Sonia describes how the psychological and emotional wounds that once affected us in our childhood and youth can continue to cause deep traumas that alter or threaten our identity. But she offers reason for hope, affirming that there is not a single life that cannot be transformed by God. Sonia invites you to discover your identity through the infinite catalyst of Christ. By placing your life in His hands, you will see yourself as you are—beautiful, valued, and loved, with a divine purpose that He has planned just for you.

Former cohost of The 700 Club Kristi Watts reveals the pitfalls that keep Christians from true joy and demonstrates the transformational power of speaking the words and promises of God. How does a person bounce back after being beaten down personally, professionally, and emotionally? What impact do words, thoughts, and beliefs have in determining one’s level of happiness? Kristi Watts asked herself these questions after her marriage dissolved and she left a high-profile position as a cohost of The 700 Club. Initially excited to walk into a new season of life that she thought held the key to happiness, she soon stumbled into emotional pitfalls that left her discouraged, disappointed, and distant from God. Known as the upbeat host who was always filled with joy and laughter, she was anything but—yet she was determined to get her happy back! But how? By learning, as Kristi did, that true happiness is not simply acquired but rather cultivated. When one’s words focus on faulty perspectives, faith is quickly derailed, but by remembering God’s blessings and verbally claiming His promises, hearts change. Using biblical principles, Talk Yourself Happy illustrates the importance of relying on God to tame our tongues and train our minds, and it exposes the hidden traps that keep Christians from living lives of happiness, empowering readers with the ultimate transformation of their hearts.

An empowering book with photos, notes, and true stories about an underground campaign to recognize the true beauty within every woman. Tired of watching women pick themselves apart in front of the mirror, blogger Caitlin Boyle scribbled a note on a Post-it: "YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!" and slapped it on the mirror of a public bathroom. With one small act, she kick-started a movement. In a matter of days, women were undertaking their own feats of resistance, posting uplifting notes on gym lockers, diet shakes in supermarkets, weight-loss guides in bookstores, and anywhere else a nagging voice of self-criticism might lurk. Emboldening and contagious, the "operation" has attracted widespread attention from the media, including the New York Daily News and salon.com. Operation Beautiful showcases the notes women have posted around the world and the stories behind them, along with interviews, interesting research findings, and tips for improving one's outlook on life. Blending a confessional tone with gutsy observations about redefining beauty, the chapters address key issues for women of all ages, including Fighting Fat Talk, Family and Friends, Food, Fitness, Faith, and Going Forward. In the scrapbook tradition of PostSecret and Davy Rothbart's Found, Operation Beautiful is filled with black-and-white photos and a two-color design, making it the perfect gift for any friend, sister, daughter, or niece.

Discover the power of mirror meditation to help you awaken self-compassion, increase self-awareness, and gain the confidence needed to thrive. Seeing ourselves clearly isn’t always easy—especially in the age of social media. Technology has eroded our capacity for authentic self-reflection. As a result, we feel more anxious and depressed, have shorter attention spans, and have become more estranged from ourselves and each other. We’ve also become more critical of our physical appearance, and this self-criticism can damage our confidence and stand in the way of our happiness. In order to heal, we must come face to face with our true selves—not the images of ourselves that we alter and post online. If you're ready for self-reflection that has nothing to do with selfies, this book will reveal the way. Based in cutting-edge neuroscience, Mirror Meditation offers mindful practices for increasing your self-awareness, managing stress and emotions, developing self-compassion, and increasing your confidence and personal presence. Using the three principles of mindfulness meditation—attention to the present moment, open awareness, and kind intention toward oneself—you’ll realize just how much your self-criticisms are affecting you. Then you’ll have a choice—and a practice—to treat yourself with more self-acceptance. Self-awareness can help you break free from both your inner critic and the external world that stokes the fears and anxieties that we are never good enough, never have enough, and are never safe enough. The simple self-mirroring technique in this unique guide isn’t grounded in technology—just a commitment to be present with yourself.

There are more solid nuggets of self development… I mean specific, easy to implement "how to's" in this book than anything out there. Luc has assembled a uniquely comprehensive treasure trove of wisdom that will help you navigate to a truly evolved life. Could be this generations' Think And Grow Rich!" -David M. Corbin, Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker- Business Advisor-Award Winning Inventor and Two time bestselling author "Luc Goulet and his work are something in and of this world but also reach far beyond what we already know to be true of it. Many leaders promise successful methods to change. But, with ease Luc delivers ways to distinguish yourself from the person you used to know yourself to be with the person and business that you are capable of conceiving, becoming and mastering." -Jo Standing, Author of Conquer Trauma Drama, Speaker and Entertainer on PTSD Resilience "Luc Goulet compassionately delves into the very essence of human suffering and joy, offering his recipe for happiness. It’s not the circumstances that we stumble into that transform us. Instead it’s our ability to transcend expectations, serve others and choose to fully embrace the whole package of the realities of who we are and what life has to offer with humility and gratitude --- the good, the bad and the ugly, that creates the change we seek.” -Dr Theresa Nicassio, Registered Psychologist & Integrative Wellness Educator Award-Winning Author & Founder of TheresaNicassio.com "This book is a game changer! Word for word, this book is filled with empowering messages to inspire us to live life to the fullest. I was inspired by Luc’s first book The Big Bang Project, but in this book, Luc takes it to the next level and shows us step by step, how to open our hearts, believe with 100% conviction that whatever we want to achieve is waiting for us. "If you need to be inspired, or need an injection of confidence and belief in your next project, this book shines! Luc has an honourable gift with his writing, reaching out via his heart. His words literally lifted from the pages and found their way to me on a soul level. Leverage your mind is a book everyone must read! Read this book today, and see the results of your new life unfold right before your very eyes.” -Jason Stephenson, You Tube meditation superstar with over 60 million views and 500 000 followers. CEO, Relax Me Online Australia Pty Ltd "When Luc Goulet says "Happiness is choice and success is a mindset" he masterfully captures the essence of how to live a more joyful, wholehearted life. His book is all about how to "reset" not only the old, self-defeating patterns of thinking, perceiving and being but also those beliefs and cognitions that do not serve to move us into joyful and abundant living. Here is a jewel of a book, concise, accessible, easy to read and yet profound in terms of powerful insights and tools to create the life we truly wish to lead. I highly recommend this book as it seems to me to be a guiding light in the current darkness of confusion, fear and uncertainty around us." -Robert (Dusty) Staub, best selling author of four books “As a professional tennis coach, I highly recommend Leverage Your Mind to all coaches, teachers, mentors, athletes and students. The peak performance mindset techniques put forth will help you reach your personal level of excellence. This is priceless information for anyone who wants to perform at their best, always!” -François Lefebvre, Top level professional tennis coach
