Book Description:
Feeling wired, tired, and stretched too thin? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In Wonder and Joy for the Wired and Tired, Dr. Pam Stephens Lehenbauer, a respected researcher, epidemiologist, clinician, and thought leader on joy, wonder, and well-being, offers a compassionate and eye-opening look at why so many people feel chronically stressed, fatigued, and disconnected. She also reveals why the traditional wellness model, first conceived decades ago, is no longer serving us. Part science-backed reflection, part celebration of the world’s awe-inspiring details, this book blends thought-provoking commentary with bite-sized facts and trivia designed to reignite our sense of childlike wonder. From the mysteries of the cosmos to the miracles of the human body and so much in between, each chapter encourages readers to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with nature, with curiosity, and with what truly matters. This isn’t a how-to guide or conventional self-help manual. Instead, it’s a gentle, joyful invitation to look up, look around, and rediscover the extraordinary in the ordinary. Through powerful insights and warm encouragement, Wonder and Joy for the Wired and Tired helps readers step off the “happiness = wellness” hamster wheel, take a big step back, and breathe deeply. It creates space to experience the tears, the chills, and the thrills of a world filled with wonder. Perfect for anyone seeking a mental reset or a moment of inspiration, Wonder and Joy for the Wired and Tired is both a balm for the soul and a spark for the spirit.

Book Description:
Living up to its subtitle—Your go-to guide when pain first strikes—the tools in this book will show you what to do right away for relief when you feel immobilized and afraid to move. Volume 2 of The Everyday Pain Guide is for those moments in the middle of the night, on weekends or holidays, or any time when you can’t get in to see your providers. Perhaps you wake with a stiff neck, throw your back out after a long flight, or maybe freeze up completely after simply reaching for something. When pain makes it seem impossible to do anything at all, Fix the Fire Damage is the guide that lays out pivotal, gentle, and easy-to-follow Action Plans while walking you through the different stages of healing, starting with the very earliest. That first sign of pain is your best opportunity to swiftly transform the trajectory of each episode and decrease your suffering. With over 100 photos, illustrations, and diagrams in an easily searchable format, the reader is guided through smart ways to address the three different types of pain triggers: body mechanics, body chemistry, and stress biology.

Content Rating: G. There isn't any cursing or information inappropriate for children
Praise for THE MENTORSHIP EDGE:
“There are angels amongst us, and in this day and age of huge challenges, massive evils and injustices left and right, our angels need much more than wings. They must be entrepreneurs who never give up, mentors who pull up generations after them, resilient leaders by example who fix our brokenness and give opportunity to young adults where there was none. None such more impactful, important and impressive than Dr. Heiser. In the end, we can best measure our lives by those we helped. Debbie has saved thousands of lives, enabling them and encouraging them to thrive. I tip my hat. She is my hero!” ―PETER SAMUELSON, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Executive, Author, Film Producer “I had the good fortune to be introduced to an amazing lady four years ago who reintroduced me to the importance of mentorship, what mentorship really is, and the many layers involved. I have been truly blessed to have had some of the greatest research hierarchical mentors while learning the craft at NASA, what I did not realize was that my Friends-of-Charlie (FoC) network was a lateral mentor community that would later save my life on orbit during my Space Shuttle Mission STS-114. Dr. Deborah Heiser understands mentorship in all its aspects and realizes its importance in helping us live happy, full, and rewarding lives. Her gift at storytelling and her easy writing style make this knowledge transfer such a joyful experience. Debbie is now a trusted forever FoC.” ―CHARLIE CAMARDA, Astronaut “The Mentorship Edge, written by Deborah Heiser discusses the impact that mentorship has on an individual’s personal and professional growth. The book includes real-world experiences from mentors with diverse backgrounds to help readers understand the multifaceted benefits of mentorship. Deborah Heiser is an educator and researcher who describes various forms of mentorship with remarkable clarity and insight. The Mentorship Edge is not just a book; it’s a blueprint for anyone seeking to harness the power of mentorship to unlock their fullest potential. This book is a must-read for mentors, mentees, educators, and leaders alike.” ―LATONYA KILPATRICK, SVP, Clinical Research, Innovation & Scientific Communications at Colgate-Palmolive “Psychologist Deborah Heiser will wind up persuading you that you were born to mentor―on your terms, your way―and that you’ll get more out of it than you ever dreamed of. It will bring you the kind of deep satisfaction everyone yearns for. I promise.” ―HARA ESTROFF MARANO, Editor at Psychology Today
Book Description:
Written by Deborah Heiser, an applied developmental psychologist with more than twenty years of experience as a researcher and coach, The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring explores how we connect to others, feel valued, get pleasure from life, and believe our lives have meaning through forming mentor relationships with others. This book covers both personal and professional mentorship in various fields, including business, research, entrepreneurship, and even art. The traditional hierarchical mentorship we’re all familiar with is simple and often very effective. But there is also lateral mentoring, where you connect with a friend or colleague―someone you can be vulnerable with―whether they work in your department, another department, or outside of your organization entirely. Lateral mentoring solves many common problems with mentorship, like feeling intimidated by those above us at work, while still providing all of the key benefits that mentorship has been proven to give. The goal of this book is to inspire individuals to engage in mentoring naturally, whether hierarchically or laterally, in work settings and in their home life. Heiser shares the insights gained from in-depth research and her extensive experience running The Mentor Project, a mentoring organization with more than 100 mentors at the absolute top of their fields. Whether you have an emotional desire to give back to others to solidify your legacy and ensure that all the boxes you’ve checked over the previous decades mattered, or you’re seeking to connect with more successful individuals as a mentee, The Mentorship Edge is an essential guide to understanding the value of different types of mentorship and taking the first steps towards using this special type of relationship to create a better life for yourself.

"iRead Book Tours has been the most effective and rewarding marketing experience we've had. We’ve explored multiple strategies and worked with other virtual tour companies, but none delivered the exposure and quality of reviews that iRead provided. Our only regret is allocating too much of our marketing budget elsewhere. The iRead Book Tours team are true professionals; organized, efficient, and an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We highly recommend iRead Book Tours to any author or publisher looking to make a real impact." - Robyn Fonrose, Marketing Manager, New Classics Publishing
At New Shelves Books, I regularly recommend iRead Book Tours to authors and publishers because Lauren and her team consistently overdeliver. Their well-organized tours provide impactful blog features, reviews, and social media buzz that go beyond expectations. For a book tour that truly makes a difference, iRead is the way to go!
- Keri-Rae Barnum, Book Marketing Expert, New Shelves Books Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
Lauren Carr's iReads Book Tour is amazing! She gets real results. Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well. Lauren has a dedicated group of reviewers and bloggers who are competent and reliable - no more wasted ARCs mailed out with no results.
