Award Winning Author Doug Carnine's Latest Book Presents Clear Evidence Of The Life Changing Power Of Mindfulness, Meditation And Kindness For Prisoners

Carnine's book relates the stories of four prisoners who achieve transcendence using mindfulness, meditation and the blessings of kindness.

A recent article on Oprah Winfrey's website by Amy Maclin entitled "Why Meditation Is Becoming So Popular In Prisons" discloses a few powerful and insightful facts from Kate Crisp, executive director of the Prison Mindfulness Institute. In that article, Crisp says she believes many inmates land in prison after an act of pure impulse. She, like so many others, knows that mindfulness training can help.

Meditation and mindfulness training can help with much more than just impulse control of course. It can also teach prisoners how to manage anxiety, reduce stress and depression, and can improve conflict resolution skills. Mindfulness training and meditation can also dramatically impact self transformation efforts and personal development.

Doug Carnine, PhD, author of 'Saint Badass: Personal Transcendence in Tucker Max Hell,' has personally witnessed the life-changing benefits meditation and mindfulness produce for those who are incarcerated in jails and prisons. The book is a story spanning seven years’ worth of letters and Carnine’s growing friendships between Roy Tester and three other prisoners.

In their own words, the prisoners describe the crises they face including disabling illness, a brain tumor, a prison gang attack, family betrayal, medical abuse and harsh punishments for mild offenses.  Each prisoner in his own way achieves transcendence through his crisis using mindfulness, meditation and the blessings of kindness. Readers are stunned to see the destructive forces of an abusive childhood, a criminal adulthood, and a life without parole in prison result in their incongruously continuous acts of kindness. Their voices are raw and honest, and at times inspiring.

"RJ offers the  most unusual example of transformation through mindful kindness, Carnine stated. "RJ, who confessed to me that he was a child molestation addict with 100 victims, would soon be released on parole in Arkansas and feared he would molest a child. At his request I tracked down the the prosecutor’s office that will result in him being transferred directly to a prison in Washington, where he committed most of his molestations. His wish is being granted. He will never be free to molest another child."

Another of Carnine’s books, 'How Love Wins: The Power of Mindful Kindness', follows in the same vein. Most of us recognize that being kinder and more present would not only improve our own lives and the lives of our loved ones, but also strengthen our communities. Numerous scientific studies have confirmed that both living mindfully and being kind to others offer a host of benefits -- from stronger relationships to longer life. Yet even if we truly care and are motivated to change, we find that old habits keep us from achieving our goal of increasing our kindness and improving our relationships.

In 'How Love Wins', Carnine offers another path. In this simple but powerful guide, leading the reader through a 12-step process of transformation, opening a toolbox of skills and techniques that anyone can use to live more fully in the moment and be more kind to themselves and others. A lay Buddhist minister who has worked with prisoners and hospice patients, Carnine provides a clear path that will enable almost anyone to build a mindfully kind life -- and make it stick.

Carnine was recently named one of 50 great writers you should be reading in the ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards'. He was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.

Readers and reviewers have praised his work. Geri Larkin, Founding Teacher of Still Point Zen Buddhist Temple and author of 'Stumbling Toward Enlightenment' said, “Saint Badass isn’t simply about the transformative power of sincere spiritual practice. It demonstrates the impact of our practice on our environment and the people around us. These men have many reasons to be filled with hate, to be violent, and to be completely shut down given the lives they are leading in the bowels of the hell realm of our society, our prisons. And yet. They transform. One of them glows in the dark, I swear. Reading the book gave me hope.”

Duana Welch, PhD, author of 'Love Factually: 10 Proven Steps from I Wish to I Do' stated, “This powerful book takes any of us from a life of 'me' to 'we,' from isolation to connection and love. In a world where kindness is so needed yet so little understood, How Love Wins is a must-read.”

Doug Carnine is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at dcarnine@uoregon.edu. Both books are available at online retail book outlets. More information is available at his website at http://feedkindness.com.

About Douglas Carnine:

Douglas Carnine, a professor emeritus from the University of Oregon, began his pursuit of scientific research, instructional design, Buddhism and martial arts when he was 21. His academic career focused on teaching at-risk students and led to him receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council for Exceptional Children.

After retiring, working with men convicted of murder and serving as a hospice volunteer made him curious about the importance of kindness. After reviewing the research on kindness, he decided to devote his writing and his advocacy to making the importance of mindful kindness more prominent. The resulting project is his website, Feedkindness.com, along with his books, ‘How Love Wins’ and ‘Saint Badass.’

Multiple Award Winning Author Donna Louis, Author Of ‘Miracles Of Direction’, Nominated For Top Female Author In 2018 Awards

Louis' book, entitled ‘Miracles Of Direction’, is an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles.

Donna Louis, author of ‘Miracles Of Direction’, has been nominated for the Top Female Author Award in 2018. The worldwide contest presents nominees from countries all over the world including Australia, Barbados, Canada, Croatia, France, Mexico, Netherlands, the UK and the United States.

"This is a tremendous honor for me," Louis stated. "I am truly grateful to be nominated from such a vast pool of countries. There are so many talented writers and authors all over the world that have a message to relay. I am truly humbled by this announcement and thank everyone who reads and supports all of my work not just my book but my blogs as well."

Donna Louis' book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' explores biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth. She then references with miracles that take place on a daily basis in the modern world. She separates these miracles into four categories and presents insightful example of each type, taken directly from the Bible.

Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced four miracles. As the result of those life-altering experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. In her book, she attempts to expand upon and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles.

Louis has also announced the upcoming release of her latest Christian book, 'Book of Proverbs, Wisdom vs Wilderness'.

'Book of Proverbs – Wisdom vs. Wilderness' delves into the need for gaining greater wisdom. The primary purpose of the Book of Proverbs is to teach wisdom to everyone. The Book of Proverbs provides intellectual depth and insights and exceptional wisdom on how to live a fortunate and tranquil life by honoring and respecting God as omnipotent.

The newest book discusses all chapters in Proverbs 1-31 and brings insight, clarity, and basic meaning to several verses in each chapter to solidify why wisdom is essential and mandatory in life, so readers can live a blessed life versus living a life that is destitute, empty, and obsolete. It is scheduled for release in 2018.

Louis was chosen as a winner in the 2015, 2016 and 2017 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' awards contest. 'Miracles' has also received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."

Due to recent events in Parkland FL, Donna will be donating a portion of the proceeds from sales of her books to March For Our Lives. She is also now making her book available to both hurricane relief organizations and Christian organizations to be used as a fundraising tool. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the e-books may be donated to those organizations that qualify.

How To Talk To Your Kids About School Shootings - Advice Offered By Psychologist And Award Winning Selfie Film Maker Barbara Becker Holstein

Dr. Holstein, a psychologist/filmmaker and originator of a unique Selfie Film concept, writes award-winning books, plays and produces short films that offer solutions to problems that impact today's teens and tweens

Being a parent has never been easy. However, being a parent in a world in which school shootings seem to happen constantly is beyond difficult. How can we, as parents, understand the fear, the pressure and the overwhelming emotional distress these inflict upon our children? While most parents and grandparents have never dealt with this issue, they have dealt with other issues that can serve to open a meaningful dialogue in the interest of helping kids feel safe. Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, psychologist and award winning selfie film maker offers some down to earth advice regarding how to talk to your children about school violence. 

"Talk about almost impossible situations in terms of reassurance, this is one of them," Dr. Holstein stated.. "Perhaps the best way to start is openly share feelings and memories in a family discussion. If possible, involve the generations.  Great grandparents may be able to tell stories of food rationing, dark shades over all the windows during WW2 and anxiety that the United States would be hit along the shore by torpedos."

"Grandparents can share hiding under the school desks or being escorted to a basement deep in the school building in case of an atomic bomb attack. Parents can share the Twin Towers coming down and other tragedies of the last 20 years."

"Children being able to see that their own family members have survived trying times is important, as resiliency is to some extent a learned behavior.  If people we love have been brave, then it gives us courage, no matter what our ages."

"Also, as feelings are expressed about school shootings, take the time to explain to your child or children what is being down at their schools to protect them.  You may want to accompany your child or children and have the principal or guidance counselor sit with all of you and explain safety in the school's building."

"Lastly, don't spend family time obsessing on safety.  What you can really provide children as parents, grandparents, even great grandparents is a feeling of 'coming home' of 'belonging' of being 'understood' that never fades away.  The home is a sanctuary for love and peace of mind that you all work at every day.  What does that take?  Some easy steps :

"Hug your child.  Make sure he or she feels that no matter what you expect of him or her, somehow he or she is 'alright, just the way he or she is.'  Mr. Fred Rogers should be your role model when in doubt."

"Spend time listening and chatting with your children.  Phones and other devices need to be put away during sharing time, meal time, bed time.  Perhaps spend some of this time writing to elected officials with your kids encouraging officials to make laws that improve school safety and reduce gun violence in general.  This is a great way to begin to teach your children how to be responsive and involved citizens."

"Intentionally have fun as a family. Laugh, joke (but not at a child's expense) play games, cook together, watch appropriate programs and films, plant a garden, even it if is just in a bucket, do some charity work together or just bake cookies for the senior citizen that lives down the street, keep a jar full of slips of paper on which you or they have written something nice that happened this week or special moments. Read them aloud once a week. Clap, laugh, enjoy."

"Of course, this list is potentially endless.  It is the sense of living together as a family and being in each other's best interests that ultimately gets us through bad or hard times.  Combine that with having fun and feeling loved and I can guarantee as a psychologist that you and your children will thrive, even with issues in our nation that are deadly serious and absolutely must be solved."

Dr. Holstein is currently developing "The Selfie Project" to help kids share their feelings and thoughts in a meaningful way via Selfies that can reach millions.  "The Selfie Project" provides a way for young people to go public on a number of subjects.  Bullying is real, school violence is real, drama because of social media is real for kids.'The Selfie Project' is giving voice to those subjects. A pilot TV show is in the development phase.  Teens will have a chance to discuss via their Selfies and in discussion with Dr. Holstein, various topics that affect their lives, from friend drama to fear of assault weapons. As of this moment, teens can share a link to their Selfies and Dr. Holstein will consider them for inclusion on her website, SelfieFilmmakers.com.

Holstein's short films have won numerous awards and accolades.

Award Winning Author Of Children's Books, Dr Nicole, Announces Latest Book In Felix And Booboo Series, 'Amy Has A Rash: Chickenpox'

Dr. Nicole is a multi-award winning best-selling author, based in Quebec. She writes children’s books that educate, inspire and teach valuable life lessons.

Multi-award-winning children's book author Dr. Nicole has announced the release of a new book in the Felix and Booboo Series, 'Amy Has A Rash: Chickenpox'. The new book is one of a series of eight books that address medical issues and make them understandable for young children. The goal is to increase the child's understanding of her body and to help eliminate fear of diseases and medical procedures. This series is also available in French (Félix et Boubou) in paperback, Kindle and PDF versions.

In this highly engaging story, Felix runs to Amy with his magical doctor suitcase bag. Amy’s body is covered with red pimples. Booboo tells her that she has chickenpox. Felix and all the magical instruments, except View, had already caught this disease. Amy and View will have to be brave against the virus. Readers of any age will know all the secrets of chickenpox.

"My true intentions regarding writing this series are to inspire children to read, to set their imaginations free and to encourage good decision making regarding health, safety and critical thinking," Dr. Nicole stated. "Writing children’s books is a way for me to give back and be a positive resource to the community. It is a way that I can positively express myself while having some fun and at the same time be a positive role model for both children and caregivers. Children who have chickenpox ask many questions. It inspired me to write a book on this medical topic in my Felix and Booboo series."

In addition to chickenpox, other subjects covered in the series include gastroenteritis, vaccinations, head lice, allergies, the human body, otitis and broken bones. All of the books in the series can be used by educators and medical professionals to help kids understand that these types of conditions are normal and are not to be feared or avoided.

Do yourself and your child a favor by not only picking up this book, but the others within the series as well."

The Maman Dion foundation was founded by Thérèse Tanguay-Dion, known as Maman Dion, a television personality and the Céline Dion’s mother.

The State Of The Union - Making America Great Again Is Finally Becoming Reality Says Author David Palladino

David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His highly praised works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal.

In Donald Trump's State of the Union address, he addressed the economic success the US achieved during his first year in office. The stock market has risen dramatically and jobless numbers have decreased. All of this on top of a large tax cut and the rollback of regulations that should open allow businesses to thrive. Illegal immigration is down. Can there be more to come? We should all hope so.

Make America Great Again is a concept that implies movement in two directions: a move toward a brighter future and a move backwards to a time when Americans held a set of core values that, in today's economic and political environment, have become clouded.

David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction that looks into the past to paint us a picture of what the American Dream used to be and how important it was to those of that time period. Through the engaging story of Adriana Corderu, he takes the reader back to that period, immersing them in the history of those times. He clearly shows us what we were and, perhaps more importantly, what we might be again.

He teaches, through his works of fiction, important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of “Palladino Martial Arts,” he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in young people. 'Quest for Freedom' helps communicate freedom's true meaning to a younger audience. For this reason it will appeal to parents, grandparents and educators and those who are old enough to remember what America used to be. Palladino deftly paints a picture of America as she really was during the Cold War. He shows us clearly why American freedom and American values held such appeal for many oppressed people in other parts of the world.

'Adriana Corderu - Quest for Freedom' is the first book in the series. During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West, and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain. The escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest for Freedom'. Set in the Cold War era, the book is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.

'Adriana Corderu - Western Odyssey' continues where the first book in the series left off. In the second book, readers will come to know a whole new cast of characters as Adriana continues her journey as she experiences the refugee camps of Italy and comes to know Italian culture with a new family even while under the yoke of the Romanian Securitate, which is still trying to abduct her and bring her back to Eastern Europe. Readers will go with her into the cauldron that was New York City where the only safe place to be was where the Italian Cosa Nostra ruled and will then experience the wonder of the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania and the rugged big-hearted people who live there.

Adriana experiences heartbreaking loss and the wonders of new love. Readers can learn with her as she remembers her sister’s revelations about America’s regular military, to include units like the 82nd Airborne Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 101st Air Cavalry Screaming Eagles. Readers can then witness the heat of her emotions when she, for the first time comes into contact with men of the US Army Ranger Battalions. Adriana comes to know these hard men and learns from them of the dramatic differences and contrasts between the US regular military and the units of the US Special Operations Command and Joint Special Operations Command. Readers will be fascinated with units such as the Army Rangers and Green Berets, the Navy SEALS, and other units that make up the US Special Operations Division to include units from the Air Force and Marines. Readers will learn what really happened during Operation Urgent Fury on the island of Grenada in October, 1983 and of the US Military of the “Reagan Era.” The story of Adriana’s Western Odyssey will not only entertain, but will also educate and uplift.

'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."

In a personal correspondence to Palladino, LTC (Ret.) Anthony B. Herbert, New York Times Bestselling Author of 'Soldier', said "David, you are a fabulous writer!"

Modern Day Revelations Explain Old Testament Revelations In 'Gideon The Sound And The Glory' By Award-Winning Author Joseph Ganci

In Ganci's innovative and highly praised novel, book lovers find themselves in the very midst of ancient conflicts, only to be swept away with an entirely fresh perspective on mystical teachings found in scripture - now living lessons - filled with action and adventure.

Did God give men everything they needed to know a long time ago?

Or does revelation and the prophetic process continue into our modern day?

Is Scripture a set of understandings that must be blindly followed without the agreement of wisdom or reason?

Or does Scripture serve as a tool that enlightens minds of every age in a never-ending progression?

Some understandings have been routinely accepted for centuries by churches and organizations that hold to certain closed-minded agendas. But, is it a black and white issue?

Is it a one-or-the-other kind of question, with no in-between - no gray areas?

Joseph Ganci, award-winning author of 'Gideon The Sound And The Glory' believes there are many undiscovered nuggets of spiritual gold in the original manuscripts, thereby removing this conflict once and for all.

Ganci stated that “Fresh insights are unearthed when discovering hidden connecting details found in ancient scripture. These viewpoints are only revealed when man’s ability has sufficiently grown, and that he is now ready to receive them.”

"A thousand years from now," Ganci stated, "our folklore will confirm that as a society we all took advice, knowledge, and direction from an all-knowing Oracle named Google."

“I think that this is the time of the ‘quickening,’ meaning that man’s complete store of knowledge will continue to double. It is a time when a well-structured question can bring to light, deep wells of understanding, and a variety of possibilities long since hidden in dust and shadows.

"The earliest comments attached to biblical writings were found soon after its original publication. Modern explanation of the Old Testament, however, is harder still when considering the vast amount of time between passages. Attempting to connect the many missing dots, dates, and dashes from well-worn scriptures correctly is a massive undertaking. It is a stretch to follow the complicated ideas, language, and culture of such a bygone race of people. Making sense of their spoken customs, going over every little hint of a shadow is especially challenging. Connecting the many puzzle pieces from olden times that has been combed over by one hundred and fifty generations of scholars is especially daring. Fragments of seemingly unrelated events naturally stitch and hem together, here a little, and there a little, thus creating a patchwork of connecting threads that become a bright, attractive picture, insightful in its presentation, and yet simple and easy to imagine."

This work is a one hundred and one percent collaboration with God. God did one hundred and one percent, and I did all the rest.”

Readers of 'Gideon The Sound And The Glory' will learn about the Jewish Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, the mysterious Golden Ephod, how, and why, David found himself at his battle with Goliath, and much, much more. This work illuminates the dark corners of scripture while engaging readers in a gripping narrative.

Ganci recently announced that the complete Kindle version will be available as a no-charge download for five days, March 12 through March 16, 2018.

Joseph Ganci was recently chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in the 2017 Book Awards. 'Gideon: The Sound and the Glory' has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. A recent reviewer stated, "Joseph Ganci’s prose is arresting, peppered with fantastic imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes are masterfully created, and they are woven into the story in a way that allows the reader to enjoy both the inspiration the story offers and the accompanying action. The book explores powerful spiritual and political themes, capturing the conflicts and the dynamics of life within the community of God's chosen people. Gideon: The Sound and the Glory will appeal to fans of political thrillers, adventure, and conflict-driven stories laced with intense action." Other reviewers have used phrases such as "riveting," "amazing" "deftly crafted" and "highly recommended."

Ganci has also announced he will make his book available as a fundraising tool for like-minded associations and charities. Donors can receive an eBook version of 'Gideon' in exchange for a donation to a worthy cause. For more details, contact Joseph via email.

Joseph Ganci is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at joseph@gideonsglory.com. 'Gideon: The Sound and the Glory' is available in both print, eBook, and a superb, ethnically correct audio narration. All from online retailers. More information is available at Ganci's website at http://www.gideonsglory.com.

How To Use March Madness To Dramatically Improve Your Business Team Or Classroom Results - Author And Keynote Speaker Rocky Romanella's Cutting-Edge Approach To Creating Results

A highly sought keynote speaker and trainer, Romanella is founder and principal of 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. He has over 40 years of leadership at Fortune 100's and most recently served as Chief Executive Officer and Director for UniTek Global Services, after retiring from a 36-year career with UPS.

Championship teams are built on solid training, strong communications and a well-executed game plan. The traits of business leaders are comparable to the traits of championship coaches like legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, a coaching icon to many. The most successful team in the NCAA Men’s Tournament history has been the UCLA Bruins, who have taken home a record 11 championships, 10 under legendary coach John Wooden between 1964-1975.

While solid training, strong communications and a well-executed game plan are core components of building a championship sports team, these components are also key elements of a successful business or classroom strategy. Adding March Madness into the mix makes it all the more fun and can result in more buy-in on the part of team members or students.

"Consider using March Madness as a theme to create a competition in your area of responsibility – whether in your place of business, or in a classroom where you challenge students to be the best they can be, or as a part of a team building exercise," Romanella stated.  "My book,'Tighten the Lug Nuts', will serve as a great resource for this competition and program and for you, as a how-to book for you, the leader."

Rocky had the pleasure of interviewing Coach John Wooden. The interview is available at his website.

A winner of the UPS Chairman’s Award for Excellence, Romanella is an energetic keynote speaker and trainer with a legacy of motivating teams to achieve their best. He pulls in audiences with real-life stories from an illustrious career spanning nearly 40 years at one of the most recognized and admired brands in the world, UPS and later as CEO and Director for UniTek Global Services, a mid-cap telecommunications solution company. Rocky brings leadership expertise in supply chain, logistics and transportation, retail, sales and operational excellence strategy, telecommunications engineering/construction management, and installation. Having led many company sales efforts, rapidly building brands, restructuring events, and developing a culture needed to integrate past acquisitions, he inspires audiences to create a unified company with one vision.

In 'Tighten the Lug Nuts: The Principles of Balanced Leadership', Romanella uses his experience in supply chain, logistics and transportation, retail, sales and operational management at UPS, and his CEO and Director roles, to explore the ways a true leader can add value as a trusted advisor, mentor, and visionary who uses a process approach to lead the organization and its people to new levels of success.

In an engaging, personal, and witty style, Romanella details Business Leadership Traits including how they must make their three major constituents equal priority by actively listening to their needs and building strong relationships. By following the steps Romanella lays out, readers can truly learn the importance of Balanced Leadership.

In March, 2018, for every purchase of 'Tighten the Lug Nuts', a business book on leadership, 3SIXTY will donate $1 to Victory Over Cancer, a charitable organization co-founded by former North Carolina State Coach Jim Valvano, dedicated to saving lives by helping to find a cure for cancer.

Romanella believes the true measure of a great leader is someone who leaves things a little better than they found them. He has garnered praise for his ability to connect to a wide range of audiences with his storytelling ability and innate charisma. Richard Snowden, President of RavenHouse International called Romanella, "An engaging speaker and facilitator, Rocky leads business executives to break-through results through break-through thinking." Conrad Swanson, Sr. VP Agency Development of Arpin Van Lines Inc. had this to say about Romanella following his keynote at the Arpin Group’s annual leadership meeting, "Rocky inspired many to look inward and improve the way they operate their businesses and lead their team members."

For help in creating a March Madness competition, watch 3SIXTY Management Services CEO Rocky Romanella’s unique interview with Coach Wooden at the website.  You can also visit www.3sixtymanagementservices.com to schedule your no-cost, no-obligation Business Leadership Training Program  or Business Consulting Assessment or to answer questions on how to generate energy and enthusiasm in your group.

Rocky Romanella is available for speaking engagements and media interviews. He can be contacted using the information below or by email at rockyromanella@gmail.com. 'Tighten The Lug Nuts' is available at book outlets everywhere. Full information on 3SIXTY Management Services is available at the company's website at http://www.3sixtymanagementservices.com.

Award Winning Author Of Children's Books, Dr Nicole, Announces Latest Book In Felix And Booboo Series, 'Charles Hurt Himself Playing: Broken Arm'

Dr. Nicole is a multi-award winning best-selling author, based in Quebec. She writes children’s books that educate, inspire and teach valuable life lessons.

Multi-award-winning children's book author Dr. Nicole has announced the release of a new book in the Felix and Booboo Series, 'Charles Hurt Himself Playing: Broken Arm'. The new book is one of a series of eight books that address medical issues and make them understandable for young children. The goal is to increase the child's understanding of her body and to help eliminate fear of diseases and medical procedures. This series is also available in French (Félix et Boubou) in paperback, Kindle and PDF versions.

A broken bone is a traumatic medical event for many children. In this book, Charles breaks his arm after falling from a swing. With his magical doctor’s bag in hand, Felix takes Charles to the hospital. Booboo and his team apply a cast on his arm. Readers will learn the secret of broken bones healing.

"My true intentions regarding writing this series are to inspire children to read, to set their imaginations free and to encourage good decision making regarding health, safety and critical thinking," Dr. Nicole stated. "Writing children’s books is a way for me to give back and be a positive resource to the community. It is a way that I can positively express myself while having some fun and at the same time be a positive role model for both children and caregivers. Children who break an arm or a leg have many questions. This inspired me to write a book on this medical topic in my Felix and Booboo series."

In addition to broken bones, other subjects covered in the series include gastroenteritis, vaccinations, head lice, allergies, the human body, otitis and chickenpox. All of the books in the series can be used by educators and medical professionals to help kids understand that these types of conditions are normal and are not to be feared or avoided.

In the traditions of Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss, Dr. Nicole breathes life into inanimate objects and wildly entertaining characters that engage children in powerful ways. Through the parent/child interaction, her works develop a love for reading while helping children develop the most important skill of all - critical thinking. If a child can master the art of critical thinking, nearly everything else falls into place.

Dr. Nicole’s books have won numerous international awards. A full listing of the awards can be found on her website.

'Charles Hurt Himself Playing: Broken Arm' has received Readers’ Favorite 5 stars. Mamta Madhavan, a reviewer for Readers' Favorite stated, "I like the way the author has handled the entire process of taking care of Charles from the time he has fallen till he returns to the park with Felix. She explains the procedures clearly and in a very methodical way to young readers. The quiz at the end of the book is fun. The illustrations are charming and they bring the characters, scenes, and concept alive to readers. The author’s experience as a doctor has been put to good use through this book. It is a lovely book to have in one’s personal collection at home as it can be read out to children many times to make them understand what needs to be done in situations like this, when there is a fall and an arm is broken. Educators and tutors can use it in classrooms and school libraries to help children understand the concept."

Dr. Nicole also received recognition as one of Quebec's Top 10 Women by the Maman Dion Foundation. The Maman Dion foundation was founded by Thérèse Tanguay-Dion, known as Maman Dion, a television personality and the Céline Dion’s mother. The Maman Dion Foundation is an educational foundation that provides support to underprivileged children in the form of clothing, eyewear and school supplies.

Dr. Nicole has sold over 150,000 books in her career. She is highly regarded for her work with children’s books and a health guide for families. Her goals are to create in children a love for reading and to create interaction and engagement.

No-charge copies of any of her books are available for University teachers, journalists and members of the media who provide email, website, mail address and phone number.

Dr. Nicole is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below. Journalists who wish to receive a copy of the books for review or might wish to schedule an interview can email info@drnicolebook.com. All of her English and bilingual works are available on Amazon, AuthorHouse, and other quality book retailers. Free coloring pages are available upon request by sending an email to the author.

Selfies, Social Media And Teens Will Change The World - Dr Barbara Becker Holstein, Psychologist And Award Winning Selfie Film Pioneer Announces 'The Selfie Project'

Dr. Holstein, a psychologist/filmmaker and originator of a unique Selfie Film concept, writes award-winning books, plays and produces short films that offer solutions to problems that impact today's teens and tweens

As the horrific event in Parkland Florida demonstrates, the young people of the world have suddenly become a voice for change; one single voice with a power that just a few years ago would have been inconceivable. While it seems that some adults are stuck in an endless loop, doing things the way things used to be done, dealing from a position that is well within the status quo, the young people have taken action in a way that has never been seen before. The transfer of power to the younger generation will be accomplished, they will speak as one voice, and it will be done via social media.

'We live in tumultuous times, don't ignore them," Dr. Holstein stated. "Children are not safe in their schools, threatened and at times killed by assault rifles, our politics are infiltrated by impersonators on social media who try to bias us before we get to the polls. On the upside kids are finding their voices and are determined that if politicians won't listen to them, they will use their rights as citizens, and vote for those that will appropriately listen to serious concerns.  We may even see the youngest people ever in our country become mayors, governors, assembly people, etc." 

"As a psychologist and filmmaker I am listening every day to the 'voices' of our young.  Not only what is said, but the emotions and feelings and needs behind what is articulated.  I consider myself a loyal follower of Mr. Rogers who I watched for many years.  He articulated beautifully why he liked all of us, 'Just the way we were’' and many other concepts of acceptance that soothed entire generations.  You did not need to be a young child to get his message.  It was pure, heart felt and the essence of what we all need to thrive as humans."

"I like to feel I carry some of his torch in the work I am doing. I've written books, a play and I am making films that reassure kids that they are okay, 'just the way they are'. They can solve problems and come up with solutions that lift their spirits and their way of life.  Yes, youngsters can effect change.  Now I am bringing  that work to a new level in 'The Selfie Project'.

'The Selfie Project' is the culmination of my 5 years of research, writing and film making, analyzing and discussing the positive sides of Selfies.  Not only are Selfies here to stay (100,000 of them made their way to the closing ceremony of the Olympic), but they are a means to communicate human longings, meaning, despair, joy, solutions, etc. in a quick accessible way never known to us before. 'The Selfie Project' has several facets: In my filmmaking actors do some of their own filming via their smart phones, allowing them an intensity of expression. We all know we sing best in the shower.  Same idea.  Yet the films are not private, as a shower is, so the intensity expressed can then help the audience of all ages better understand the feelings and needs of kids." 

"Also I write and teach about how we can finally be the mistresses of our own diaries, travel logs, etc. as we whisk around the world with our Selfies.  Any woman over 50 will probably admit that there is a power in controlling what and how pictures are taken of her.  Why not hold that control in the palm of our own hands?

The big news is I am using 'The Selfie Project' to help kids share their feelings and thoughts in a meaningful way via Selfies that can reach millions.  Kids know what is on their mind, they just need a way to go public on a number of subjects.  Bullying is real, school violence is real, drama because of social media is real for kids.'The Selfie Project' is giving voice to those subjects."

"Now teens can share with me a link to Selfies and I will consider them for inclusion on our website, SelfieFilmmakers.com. The focus of the SelfieFilmmakers site is to honor different facets of the Selfie Film phenomenon. It is a place to explore what makes these films so inviting psychologically and emotionally. The site will host a variety of people who are the creators of this new wave of filmmaking. All ages covering a variety of topics. From the depths of our souls to the lightest touch of humor, a new wave of filmmaker explore being human, sharing thoughts and feelings in new ways via smart phones.”

Stay tuned for more as I create the pilot show for the new series 'The Selfie Project'.  Four young teens are already working on their Selfies for the Pilot, which will focus on Teen Drama and how it affects their lives. I will be moderating a discussion with them after we see their Selfies."

Holstein's short films have won numerous awards and accolades.

Multiple Award Winning Author Of Children's Books, Dr Nicole, Announces Latest Book In Felix And Booboo Series, 'Maya Visits Her Doctor: Vaccination'

Dr. Nicole is a multi-award winning best-selling author, based in Quebec. She writes children’s books that educate, inspire and teach valuable life lessons.

Multi-award-winning children's book author Dr. Nicole has announced the release of a new book in the Felix and Booboo Series, 'Maya Visits Her Doctor: Vaccination'. Vaccinations are a very big issue for young children. The new book is one of a series of eight books that address medical issues and make them understandable for young children. The goal is to increase the child's understanding of her body and to help eliminate fear of diseases and medical procedures. This series is also available in French (Félix et Boubou) in paperback, Kindle and PDF versions.

In this book, Felix’s sister Maya was afraid to go to the doctor for a vaccine. Fortunately, Felix, assisted by Booboo and his magical doctor’s bag, help her get over her fears. Lucky Maya. She receives a beautiful princess sticker for her collection. Young readers of this book will find out all the secrets of a medical visit and vaccination. 

"My true intentions regarding writing Felix and Booboo series are to inspire children to read, to set their imaginations free and to encourage good decision-making regarding health, safety and critical thinking," Dr. Nicole stated. "Writing children's books is a way for me to give back and be a positive resource to the community. It is a way that I can positively express myself while having some fun and at the same time be a positive role model for both children and caregivers. I hope that my books inspire children to set their minds free and work to make the world a better place. In the book Maya Visits Her Doctor, my intention was to explain the annual medical visit and pre-school vaccination. I hope it may help parents and their care givers to prepare their children before visiting their doctor."

In addition to vaccinations, other subjects covered in the series include gastroenteritis, broken bones, head lice, allergies, the human body, otitis and chickenpox. All of the books in the series can be used by educators and medical professionals to help kids understand that these types of conditions are normal and are not to be feared or avoided.

In the traditions of Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss, Dr. Nicole breathes life into inanimate objects and wildly entertaining characters that engage children in powerful ways. Through the parent/child interaction, her works develop a love for reading while helping children develop the most important skill of all - critical thinking. If a child can master the art of critical thinking, nearly everything else falls into place.

Dr. Nicole’s books have won numerous international awards. A full listing of the awards can be found on her website.

'Maya Visits Her Doctor: Vaccination' has received Readers’ Favorite 5 stars. Reviewer Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite stated, "The concept is excellent as it helps children like Maya to get rid of their fears. The quiz at the end of the book is educational and fun. The illustrations are delightful and they bring the characters and the story alive. I like the manner in which the author describes Maya’s check-up at Doctor Bones’ office and her vaccination. She makes children aware of what goes on inside a doctor’s clinic in an engaging and interesting way. This series is a must-have in one's personal collection as it enables parents to help children understand different concepts and situations in a way that is appealing. It is a good story for classroom storytelling and read aloud sessions as children can be taught about medical visits in a fun and interactive way."

Dr. Nicole also received recognition as one of Quebec's Top 10 Women by the Maman Dion Foundation. The Maman Dion foundation was founded by Thérèse Tanguay-Dion, known as Maman Dion, a television personality and the Céline Dion’s mother. The Maman Dion Foundation is an educational foundation that provides support to underprivileged children in the form of clothing, eyewear and school supplies.
