Transparent Investing: How to Play the Stock Market without Getting Played

by Patrick Geddes


The investment industry wants you to believe in stock market wizards who can predict the future and make a killing. But there’s a simpler way to invest that offers better returns and less stress—no crystal ball needed.

We all know from experience that rational thoughts often lose out to primal cravings: if someone handed you a plate of chocolate cake and a plate of broccoli right now, which would you instinctively reach for?

When investing, you face this same tension between the part of your brain that longs for the sweet, satisfying allure of beating the market versus the rational and wise part that chooses the boring solution offering better results. You also face an uphill battle against an industry that makes more money selling you the finance equivalent of chocolate cake.

This is the truth the investment industry doesn’t want you to know: a low-cost passive portfolio not only earns you higher returns on average than active investing (the kind that makes them the most money) but is also shockingly simple to build and manage.

Transparent Investing will help you achieve your financial goals and become a more empowered and confident consumer. No matter your level of wealth or experience, this plain-English, no-nonsense guide gives you the knowledge you need to:

  • Keep your brain from becoming hazardous to your wealth
  • Decide whether you should hire a trustworthy advisor or DIY
  • Spot the hidden fees that enrich advisors but drag down returns
  • Create a simple, tax-efficient portfolio without fear
  • Plan for a worry-free retirement and get rich carefully

Smart investing doesn’t have to be intimidating or as complicated as the faux wizards behind the curtain want you to believe. With Transparent Investing, you’ll learn how the game works and how to achieve your investment goals with far less study, time, and anxiety than you might think.

Trial, Error, and Success

by Sima Dimitrijev and Maryann Karinch


Everything in nature evolves by trial and error. We cannot avoid this fundamental method of natural evolution, but our human advantage is that we can think about and learn from the errors before trying again.

Trial, Error, and Success helps boost that advantage with 10 insights into realistic knowledge, thinking, and emotional intelligence.

You will see throughout the book how successful thinking combines sharp analyses of new information with broad analogies to existing knowledge. The authors use real-life examples to show

  • How thinking can avoid overgeneralization traps.
  • How to create new knowledge by trial-and-error thinking.
  • How to reduce personal risk and maximize benefits by collective application of the trial-and-error process.

It becomes obvious why machine learning and automatic actions cannot replace human intelligence and decision making!

  • Uncover the real source of your emotional pain…so you can finally deal with what’s actually going on.
  • Allow God to heal the innermost part of you…so you can stop being controlled by your emotions.
  • Let go of any false beliefs that are holding you back…so you can step into the bright future God has already prepared for you.

Many women have already found depression and anxiety relief with this easy-to-follow system. But the amazing part is this: When you finally recover from trauma, you can expect to see dramatic improvements in your physical health as well.

That’s no coincidence. It’s because the co-authors, Darlyne & Victoria, both began their careers focusing on physical healing.

I can totally relate.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve made more than one attempt at recovery. Maybe you’ve worked through a 12-step program or two…or three or ten. But somehow, there’s still a place deep inside that just won’t seem to heal.

Darlyne and Victoria have devoted their lives to the emotional healing and physical well-being of God’s children. Through decades of combined experience, they’ve developed a unique 5-step process that’s yielded miraculous results for the many people who’ve visited their clinic.

Finally, God has prompted them to share their wisdom with those of us who may never be able to journey to their idyllic Canadian homestead to meet with them in person. In a world where anxiety has become an epidemic, I’m confident that Christian women seeking Christ-centered answers for depression and anxiety relief will find the help and hope they need.

If you will prayerfully ponder what’s presented on these pages, then give God thirty days to do a work in your life, I think you’ll be amazed at the inner transformation you’ll enjoy.

In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom

by Maryanne Vollers


“I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.” - Yeonmi Park

"One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard - and one of the most inspiring." - The Bookseller

“Park's remarkable and inspiring story shines a light on a country whose inhabitants live in misery beyond comprehension. Park's important memoir showcases the strength of the human spirit and one young woman's incredible determination to never be hungry again.” —Publishers Weekly


In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea—and to freedom.

Park confronts her past with a startling resilience. In spite of everything, she has never stopped being proud of where she is from, and never stopped striving for a better life. Indeed, today she is a human rights activist working determinedly to bring attention to the oppression taking place in her home country. Park’s testimony is heartbreaking and unimaginable, but never without hope. This is the human spirit at its most indomitable.

Beware False Tigers: Strategies and Antidotes for an Age of Stress

by Frank Forencich


The world is full of tigers, but only some of them are real. Learn their ways and you’ll become stronger, wiser, and more resilient.

Our world is in turmoil, bearing down on our minds and bodies with increasing pressure, acute crises, and wicked problems. Our aboriginal bodies—sculpted for success in wild, outdoor environments—have no idea how to adapt. Cortisol surges through our tissue, driving us toward impatience, distress, dysfunctional behavior, and declining health.

The standard narrative tells us that stress is an individual problem with individual solutions. It’s a lifestyle issue, a medical condition, and a challenge to our personal well-being. But the standard narrative gets it wrong. In fact, stress is a systemic, psychosocial problem and a global health issue. It’s a shared predicament that demands collective action. The good news is that stress can actually be the key to unlocking a more functional and fulfilling future for all of us.

Beware False Tigers is a book about focus. It’s about responding appropriately, to the right tigers, in the right proportion, at the right time. As you’ll discover, our encounter with stress can be fascinating, powerful, and incredibly meaningful.

Cover to Cover: What First-Time Authors Need to Know about Editing

by Sandra Wendel


“Irreverent.” “Funny.” “Essential.” Award winning.

Read this book before you publish your book.

You just wrote your first book. And there you are. Stark naked. Vulnerable. Wondering what to do next to get your masterpiece published.

This is the one book you need to read and follow if you’re writing a book for the first time. Why? Because you’ve never written a book before. This is new territory.

To write a successful book, you need to find and work with an editor who shares your passion for your work and your message and who will help you make your book sing. And sing a smash hit. A blockbuster of a message, clearly and carefully constructed so readers love you and your work and leave you five-star Amazon reviews only because they don’t have more stars to give.

This is a toolkit for tinkering under the hood of your working manuscript so you, the author, can take your work as far as you can before an edit and production such as cover design and not dump a half-baked chocolate cake on some poor schlub of an editor to “fix.”

Don’t make first-time author mistakes. No matter what you think, you do need an edit. Not from the English teacher next door. You can’t self-edit either. A professional editor knows how to navigate those thorny commas and can solve your organizational questions. An editor can guide you through the murky waters of modifiers and passive sentences, correct typos, and get your book manuscript polished and on its way to production.

Even if you slept through English class, never turned in book reports, and don’t know a thing about publishing the book of your dreams, your name is on the cover and you don’t want to be embarrassed. Turn your vulnerability into confidence with these insider secrets to publishing success when working with an editor.

No, this is not a grammar book (ick) or a guide to self-editing (can’t be done well). This is not a dry, boring book about usage or sentence structure.

Although the author, a veteran nonfiction editor, specializes in memoir, true crime, business/leadership, and self-help, her advice holds true for fiction writers as well.

Get your questions answered (and more):

  • Why do I need an editor? How do I find an editor? What do editors do? And how much do they cost?
  • What are the levels of edit? Developmental? Line edit? Copy edit? Proofreading? How do I know what level of editing my manuscript needs?
  • Will an editor tell me if my manuscript sucks?
  • Why do words make a difference? Which words do I overuse? Which words should I never use?
  • How do I know when I’m done writing?
  • How can I work with a cover designer and audiobook engineer?

Apotheosis Now: Rabbit Hole to the Beyond

by Yanhao Huang


Resolve all your confusion in life!

A mind that is fragmented and sees the world in terms of what is me and not me, good and bad, will be caught in endless conflict. Because externally, we are always trying to control what is “not me,” and internally, we always get perplexed trying to figure out whether our actions came from our “higher” or “lower” self. As Albert Einstein said: “We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.”

This book will help you to understand:

  • Why we have internal conflicts
  • How does our ego trap us in undesirable circumstances
  • How do our beliefs limit us
  • Why thought-based teachings (Law of Attraction), or self-improvement advice don’t work
  • How do we really get what we want
  • Why is happiness so rare for us
  • Who we are really
  • What is the nature of existence
  • What is the meaning of life
  • How do we know if there is a God
  • What is the process of spiritual enlightenment

Many of us are starting to become tired of this game of life. We have been comparing and striving all our life. But no matter how much success we have achieved—we are still hollow and still have found nothing fulfilling. We don’t even know if happiness exists because it is no longer a living thing in our experience—it has become dead, as we only know it as a concept or memory.

We have sought self-help advice, philosophies, and religious teachings to transform ourselves but have not gotten anywhere. We have made some superficial improvements—like adopting a new mindset—but our core remains the same. We are still competitive, still fearful, and we get disturbed all the time.

The problem with all attempts at self-improvement is that we do not address the fundamental problem, which is: who is the “you” who needs to be improved? We do not see that the one who is making the improvement is the same one who needs to be improved. The more we try to improve, the more conflict we introduce, within and without. The more knowledge we stuff in our heads, the more we become trapped in a conceptual prison of reality. Inevitably, the more confused we get in life.

The book guides the reader out of their distorted beliefs to experience reality beyond the mind. When the deeper intelligence is allowed to flourish without our mind's interference, then the game of life becomes effortless.

But at its core, a diet is very different from dieting. One encompasses the foods that you eat, while the other tries to control those foods.

For most people, nutrition is a bit of a mystery. With hundreds of sources of information that often conflict with one another, it can be totally overwhelming to even know where to begin.

You might have been led to believe that to truly understand your nutrition, you need to work with expensive dieticians or personal trainers -- but this couldn't be further from the truth.

The reality is that anyone, including you, can start to make changes in their diet that will immediately start having positive effects both mentally and physically.

But how do you do that?

By understanding your dietary habits and the tendencies you have around food, you 'll discover exactly how much your subconscious is impacting your health and wellness.

Once you recognize the power of your thoughts and mindset, you can harness that power to start creating real, lasting change in your life.

In Breaking Bad Eating Habits, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • Practical advice for managing mindset, stress, and attitude while developing a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle
  • How nutrition affects your development even before birth -- and why childhood influences are so powerful
  • 8 principles that form the basis of mindfulness with a 6-step process to help you become a more mindful eater
  • Why diets don't work -- and the reasons why people fail even when they're highly motivated
  • The effect of stress on cognitive function, weight gain, and your digestive system -- and what you can do to help reduce its impact
  • Tips and tricks for adapting meals and recipes to immediately start improving your nutrition
  • 9 foods older adults need to cut back on -- and what you should be eating instead to promote healthy aging
  • How to identify the mental habits and triggers that have become a part of your life over the years, without judgment or anger
  • 10 types of hunger and how to keep each kind in check with simple solutions
  • 15+ recipes designed to keep you feeling full and satisfied while balancing your nutrition

And much more.

Now is your chance to take the time limit off of fixing your nutrition. Say goodbye to diets that promise to transform your health in just 15 days or give results that won't last more than a few weeks.

Instead, make the choice to truly invest in your health -- take an approach that considers every aspect of living healthfully and doesn't just give you a meal plan and a few useless dieting "hacks."
