Rabbi Shlomo Buxbaum's third book is out now!This new addition to the Four Elements series takes a deep dive into Jewish prayer; specifically the deeper meaning behind the daily morning service. R' Buxbaum takes a Kabbalistic approach to the prayer book, the siddur, viewing it as our Sages' roadmap to the soul, providing us with a step-by-step process that allows us to reach an elevated state of consciousness.The Four Elements of Elevated Prayer guides readers through the four main parts of the Shacharis morning service, illuminating how the prayers can become a journey of connection to one's authentic self. Weaving together classic Torah sources, Kabbalistic teachings, and insights into human psychology, Rabbi Buxbaum shows how these parts parallel the four elements—fire, wind, water, and earth—as well as the four stages to spiritual mastery.This book is both for those who have been praying for years and feel that they are ready to go deeper, or for those who are new to Jewish prayer and want to jump in to the deep end! It is for those who have read and mastered Rabbi Buxbaum's first two books, as well as for those who are brand-new to the Four Elements family!You can order the book here:https://www.levx.org/event/the-four-elements-of-elevated-prayer/ or on Amazon, or at Mosaicapress.com, or where ever Jewish books are sold!

The Brexit Effect, edited by Sir Anthony Seldon, is a collection of over 30 essays on the impact of the referendum on whether the UK should stay in or leave the European Union. To discuss the book, the Institute for Government brought together some of its contributors to consider the continuing impact of that decision on the way the UK is governed and its place in the world. Sir Anthony Seldon, editor of The Brexit Effect, made opening remarks. That was followed by an expert panel, including: Helen MacNamara CB, author of the chapter on Brexit and civil service impartiality and former Deputy Cabinet Secretary Rt Hon David Miliband, author of the chapter on Britain's economic standing and future relations with the EU and former Foreign Secretary 2007-10 Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government and co-author of the chapter on Brexit and the quality of UK governance (with Alex Thomas) Marina Wheeler KC, author of the chapter on engaging with Europe as a sovereign nation This event was chaired by Alex Thomas, Executive Director for Impact, at the Institute for Government.

You just spent two years writing a book. Now what? That's the question at the center of this conversation about book publicity, expectations, and the long game of building a body of work. Bill Sherman sits down with Sandy Smith, CEO of Smith Publicity, to unpack what a smart book launch actually looks like — and why most of the excitement (and anxiety) authors feel in the 60 days around publication misses the point. Sandy's first move with any client is to ask what success looks like a year out. That reframe — from launch week to long horizon — shapes everything else: how to define goals, how to find the right audience for a big idea, and why a book should be treated less like a product drop and more like a two-to-three-year (or longer) relationship-building asset. The conversation moves through sharp, practical territory: the difference between an audience that's ready for your message and one that isn't (yes, even when they need it most), how publicists match authors to podcasts, bylined articles, and expert commentary opportunities, and why revisiting an author's earlier books can sometimes be more valuable than pushing the new release. Sandy and Bill also talk through the emotional arc of a launch — the pre-launch momentum, the 60-day flurry, and the letdown that can follow once the initial push ends. Underneath the tactics is a bigger idea both return to again and again: books create relationships. They let readers spend time with an author's thinking in a low-stakes, high-trust way, and that trust compounds over years, not weeks. The episode also touches on what makes an idea worth an audience's attention in the first place, and why generosity — not ego — tends to separate thought leaders who build lasting influence from those who burn out chasing a moment. Whether you're planning a first book launch or trying to get more mileage out of one published years ago, this episode offers a grounded, experience-based look at what actually works. Three Key Takeaways: • A launch is a beginning, not a finish line. Treat the book as a two-to-three-year (or longer) asset rather than a 60-day sprint — the real payoff comes from what you do with it after publication week ends. • Define your goal before you plan tactics. Whether the aim is sparking conversation, building visibility, or attracting clients, that goal should shape everything from media targets to messaging. • Audience readiness matters more than audience size. The right strategy meets people who are already primed to hear your idea, then lets them bring others along — rather than forcing a conversation an audience isn't ready for. This episode landed right in the middle of launch week for The Thought Leadership Handbook — the new book from Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal — and everything Sandy Smith unpacked about goals, audience readiness, and building a lasting asset is exactly what's behind it. If you want to see those ideas in practice, head to thoughtleadershiphandbook.com for a free excerpt, your own thought leadership avatar, and tools to sharpen your strategy. Then preorder your copy today at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, or Amplify — and become part of the conversation this book is meant to start.

What if happiness wasn't something you had to chase, but something you could learn? In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde is joined by happiness expert, speaker and author Declan Edwards to explore the science behind happiness, emotional intelligence and why so many of us fall into the "I'll be happy when..." trap. Together they unpack why achievement alone doesn't create fulfilment, how our emotions influence those around us, and why happiness is less about circumstance and more about the skills we build every day. In this episode we discuss: Why we're pursuing happiness more than ever, yet feeling less fulfilled. The "hedonic treadmill" and why the goalposts keep moving. Why happiness is a learnable skill, not a personality trait. The link between emotional intelligence, leadership and wellbeing. How perfectionism, people pleasing and external validation affect happiness. Why relationships have a greater impact on happiness than success. A simple two-word exercise to improve emotional awareness.

Jenn breaks down the three most common reasons launches underperform (none of which are the book itself), the four-step recovery framework that turns a disappointing launch into consistent long-term sales, and the most important mindset shift for any author on the other side of a launch that didn't land.

Alan Morrissey's guest today was broadcaster, journalist and activist Fintan Drury, whose new book, Genocide: Sponsoring the Destruction of Palestine, is being launched this week.   The book examines the war in Gaza and the wider conflict between Israel and Palestine, arguing that Western political, military and economic support enabled Israel's actions.   Fintan will be speaking at a Q&A event at Ennis Books within the next few weeks.

My book is finally out in the world.This week, I'm taking you behind the scenes of the 6-year journey that became Are We Friends Yet? — from a food blog and a 40-page e-book idea, to a 120-page Word document, a friendship framework obsession, a major health crisis, an unexpected book deal, and more moments of crying on the floor than I'd like to admit.This is the story of how this book came to be, the twists and turns I never saw coming, and why following my gut (even when it didn't make sense) ultimately got this book into your hands.In this episode you'll hear about:Why I turned down a traditional publishing deal after years of trying to get this book into the worldHow a trio of chronic illnesses delayed this project by nearly 2 years and forced me to put everything on holdWhat recording the audiobook taught me after more than 180 podcast episodes behind a microphoneThe unconventional launch strategy I'm using instead of jumping straight into a big press tourResources & LinksEpisode 19: The One For Little AlexEpisode 109: How To Rebuild Your Life When Your Capacity ChangesThis episode is sponsored by Slowly, a digital pen pal app used by over 10 million people worldwide.

Big media opportunities can still be valuable, but the most effective book marketing often comes from knowing your audience, understanding where they spend time, and showing up with consistent value.In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, we continue the book launch series with Marissa Eigenbrood, President and Partner of Smith Publicity. Marissa shares what authors need to know about publicity today, how publishing options have evolved, and why a successful launch starts with clarity around the real job of your book.We also talk about why authors should prepare their network early, create content beyond the manuscript, and focus on audience-building opportunities instead of chasing visibility for visibility's sake.In this episode, you'll learn: Why book publicity is more targeted than ever  How content and network engagement support a stronger launch  Why “value over viral” is a better mindset for authors building their platformConnect with Marissa and Smith PublicityTo learn more about Marissa Eigenbrood and Smith Publicity, visit SmithPublicity.com or connect with Marissa on LinkedIn.

Dr. Vitz talks about the launch of her new book The Composure Challenge - How to Train Your Emotional State and Lead Without Reactivity.

From Chaos to Clarity: Fighter Pilot Thinking for Flawless Execution in Leadership & Branding (with Christian “Boo” Boucousis)I interviewed former fighter pilot and CEO Christian “Boo” Boucousis about translating fighter-pilot precision into leadership, decision-making, and brand consistency under pressure. Boo explains fighter pilot thinking rooted in John Boyd's OODA Loop and his “thought loops,” emphasizing turning intention into a clear “destination,” comparing it to current reality, using intentional curiosity, taking action, and reflecting to iterate. He argues leaders create chaos by constantly “hitting the button” instead of thinking, and introduces concepts like flawless execution, the perfection death spiral, and the avenger effect. Boo outlines a decision-making loop and adds reflection as the critical step, saying debriefing is more important than the mission. He also discusses standards, training, and meeting expectations to build trust, and previews his upcoming book Flawless Leadership (mid-2026).00:36 Meet the Fighter Pilot CEO02:07 From Dream to Afterburner04:43 OODA Loop and Flawless Execution08:33 Thought Loops for Brand Consistency09:20 Destinations Reality Action15:32 Legacy Brands and Feedback Loops18:04 Decisive Leadership Under Pressure18:47 Decision Loop and Debriefing22:59 Chaos Clarity and Burnout28:20 Precision Trust and Standards32:48 Non Negotiable Reflect Daily34:22 Rapid Fire and Brand Meaning36:58 Book Launch and ClosingGet in touch with Christian "Boo" BoucousisWebsite: https://callmeboo.com Company: https://afterburner.com.au LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-boo-boucousis/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christianbooboucousis/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@christianbooboucousis9944Get in touch with Brigitte Bojkowszky:Website BridgetBrands: https://www.bridgetbrands.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bojkowszkyb/ Website Retreat “I AM BECOMING”: https://event.i-am-escape.com/i-am-becomingAmazon booksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgetbrandsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bridgetbrandsBook a call: https://calendly.com/bridgetbrands/20-min-discoverycall 

June is World Infertility Awareness Month, a month dedicated to the one in six couples worldwide who are quietly navigating the heartbreak, questions, and uncertainty that go along with the fertility journey. A short while ago, I had the privilege of launching my book, Your Fertility Blueprint. That day, I gave a presentation where I shared everything I wish I had known earlier in my own journey, including the framework that can change how we understand fertility, the hope that often gets lost along the way, and the truth that you are far more than your unexplained infertility diagnosis. I truly believe that something unexplained is simply something uninvestigated. In honour of Infertility Awareness Month, I'm sharing that presentation with you today. Whether you're in the thick of it yourself, supporting someone who is, or you simply want to understand the infertility experience better, this episode is for you. The products I used unknowingly, which poisoned my system with endocrine-disrupting chemicals: Hair straighteners Conventional beauty products Chemical chlorine-laced tampons Bath and Body Works fragranced lotions Plastic water bottles Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.  A nurse practitioner since 2009, Dr. Gray completed her doctorate focusing on estrogen metabolism from the University of Iowa in 2011 and holds a Master's in Metabolic Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida's Medical School.

Most leaders walk into uncertainty with a 15-point plan, but Karina Mangu-Ward argues that the plan is almost always going out the window and the leaders who admit that openly are often the ones people trust most. In this episode, Skot sits down with Karina, partner at August and author of Teams That Meet the Moment, to unpack the assumptions that keep teams stuck. They explore why humans are neurologically wired to crave certainty even when certainty is impossible, the difference between avoidable failures and intelligent ones, and why one of the most powerful things a leader can say right now is, "Here's what I don't know." Karina also introduces her Candid Comms framework, built around three deceptively simple questions that could change how you approach your next one-on-one. The conversation also tackles the goal-setting debate, the real cost of blame culture, and why strategy, superstar talent, and hard work alone are never enough. If your team feels buried in pressure, reactive, and stuck in a failure narrative when they should be learning, this conversation deserves your full attention.

What does it look like to do what most people do in 18 months... in just two months? Chaotic. Brilliant. And full of lessons worth documenting. In this week's episode, Kelly delivers the second installment of her Miracle Hour launch debrief, walking through the specific strategies that worked, the ones that fell flat, and the exact framework she is already using with private clients and building into the Sacred Art of Selling launch plan. From the mini sprint model she is calling their best ever company execution, to the content day where she recorded 50 videos in a single sitting, to the community lives that converted at the highest rate of anything they did, Kelly holds nothing back. She also gets honest about the things that did not go the way she planned.  This episode is a masterclass in what it actually takes to launch a book, a product, or a movement.  If you are planning a launch of any kind, this one is required listening.
