Carol Kline este coautoare a 5 cărţi, care s-au vândut în peste 5 milioane de exemplare, din seria Supă de pui pentru suflet.

Încă din 1975, predă în faţa unei audienţe foarte largi un sistem de management al stresului. Ce anume v-ar face fericit? O carieră fulminantă… un cont solid în bancă… sau perechea ideală? Dar dacă nimic din toate acestea nu v-ar fi indispensabil? Dacă aţi primi confirmarea că fericirea vine din interior, indiferent ce se întâmplă în viaţa dumneavoastră exterioară? În cartea de faţă, Marci Shimoff — cea mai cunoscută expertă în terapia fericirii — vă oferă dovezi ale faptului că nici performanţele profesionale, nici ambiţiile sociale, nici banii, relaţiile cu ceilalţi ori alte dorinţe împlinite nu vă vor aduce fericirea. Spre deosebire de cărţile care vă îndeamnă să căutaţi lucrurile şi activităţile ce vă fac fericit, aceasta vă asigură că fericirea profundă şi de durată vine din acele credinţe ce nu vă pot fi luate de nimeni. Bazată pe cercetările întreprinse de autoare şi pe cunoştinţele unor experţi în psihologia pozitivă şi în neurofiziologie, dar şi pe 100 de interviuri acordate de oameni cu adevărat fericiţi, cartea vă pune la dispoziţie un program în 7 paşi, prin care vă puteţi găsi fericirea lăuntrică, indiferent cum arată viaţa dumneavoastră. Studiile întreprinse anterior ne arată că fiecare dintre noi are prestabilită o anumită capacitate de a experimenta fericirea — 50% influenţată genetic, 50% determinată de viaţa trăită. Dar, aşa cum poţi potrivi termostatul pentru a simţi mai multă căldură, la fel poţi mări cantitatea de fericire personală. Iar programul holistic şi strategiile pragmatice ale lui Marci Shimoff abordează toate aspectele vieţii dumneavoastră: putere personală, minte, emoţie, trup, suflet, menire şi relaţii. În plus, veţi afla din carte poveştile remarcabile şi tulburătoare ale oamenilor care au aplicat acest program în viaţa lor personală, devenind astfel fericiţi… fără un motiv anume. Nu e obligatoriu să aveţi gena fericirii, să câştigaţi la loterie sau să slăbiţi 10 kg. Înainte de a termina cartea, veţi şti deja cum să dobândiţi fericirea — pentru tot restul vieţii! BESTSELLER NEW YORK TIMES „Cu această carte, Marci Shimoff a dat lovitura… În mod sigur, dacă îi urmaţi sfaturile extraordinare, veţi cunoaşte fericirea de-o viaţă.“ Jack Canfield Creatorul seriei Supă de pui pentru suflet „Nu vă puteţi lăsa pe mâna circumstanţelor, dacă vă doriţi o fericire de durată. Ea trebuie să vină din interior. Fiind bazată pe cercetări ştiinţifice şi pe experienţele unor oameni cu adevărat fericiţi, această carte vă arată pas cu pas cum trebuie să procedaţi.“ Mehmet C. Oz Coautorul seriei TU. Ghid de funcţionare

The basis for this story is two-fold. First, it is imperative to bring to light a desperate need for rehabilitation facilities that will more efficiently serve today''s men and women veterans who are wounded and/or disabled. Second, an example of precisely why such a need has become imperative is based on a true story of an Air Force nurse who, if she could speak, would likely tell you in great detail why proper housing and more individualized care for today''s veterans is sorely needed. People ask every day, by phone or in person, by text or email, how our daughter is doing. With every inquiry, I have to take a moment to reflect before giving an answer. There is always that small voice, that pause, the lump in my throat: how is she doing... really? Knowing each day will quite possibly see her make very small steps of increased productivity in learning to speak or to walk, to brush her teeth, to pick out the clothes for that day then work as hard as she can to get an arm in a sleeve, to learn to eat so that one day she won''t be fed through a tube, and to be helped from the bed to her wheelchair. I swallow that insistent lump and realize she has made tremendous strides moment by moment, day by day. I thank God with every part of my being, every single minute of every single day that she is here at all. And then I thank Him that her mind is fully restored cognitively. To hear her speak again would be nothing short of a miracle. When I hear her laugh at a funny story or during a comedy film, to feel her hugs and the little pat on my back that says, "I love you" so fills my heart with infinite joy! And, so, when people ask, I reflect. Knowing what she has been through - the depths of pain and suffering, the horror of not being able to defend herself when left alone, not even so much as to make a call for help - I reflect. The dream of being a wife and mother again is almost non-existent now, but it is still her hope. That crisp Air Force uniform she wore with such pride still gives her joy and so boosts her self-esteem when we dress her in it to attend an appropriate function. Happiness lights up her face! Her pride is clearly evident. In that instant when people ask, I reflect because I know where she has come from and all that she has endured, I realize that in all the tomorrows she must continue to push on day by day by day, and it simply tears the heart out of me. Watching her smile and hearing her laugh gives us the greatest hope of all, even as we know that light at the end of the tunnel is still very far away. When people ask "how is your daughter doing," I reflect, and then I smile and say, "She is awesome!"

"Miss Maggie Down On Main Street" is a heartwarming, humorous tale, again set in rhyme, that shows even the hardest heart can be filled with caring when the right initiative is used: love, respect, tenderness, and compassion. Miss Maggie had all these gifts, and she was just waiting for the right person to come along to share them.The story is as old as time and even incorporates the "Golden Rule"... Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I believe God will fill our hearts with joy once again. If just one person reads this story, finds a bit of joy and laughter, I will be humbled and very grateful. -- Carol Kline

It''s a delightful tale of friendship no matter which one has hair!

Make no bones about it: If a dog rules your home—and your heart—you''ll love this compelling, laugh-out-loud, and tear-jerking collection of true stories of some incredible, endearing, and courageous canines. With chapters on Four-Legged Family Members, The Common Bond, Teachers and Healers, and Unconditional Love, For the Love of Dogs reveals the many ways our dogs enrich our lives emotionally, physically, and spiritually. For example, Rocky is a trouble-making Golden Retriever pup who redeems himself when he saves an unsuspecting toddler''s life; Hart is a Labrador who helps a traumatized teen find her voice; and Jazz is an agility dog whose fighting spirit and supportive family enabled her to beat her toughest competition—a cancer diagnosis. On the lighter side, there are humorous stories about dogs like Stewie, who was sold to his new owner as a purebred Yorkie. Soon, when this supposed ''toy breed'' maxes out at twenty pounds, Stewie reveals his true identity as a $750 mutt. Even so, Stewie''s owner doesn''t mind the price, the pedigree, or sharing his postage stamp-sized place, because Stewie has captured his heart. For the Love of Dogs is a "paws"-itively captivating read for anyone who''s crazy about canines.

The closer we get to our cats (or the closer they let us get to them!), the more we find to love about them. For the Love of Cats celebrates this complex bond, revealing, with heart-tugging emotion, how cats transform our lives in both spectacular and subtle ways. For example, BB, a sweet grey kitten, helps a hearing-impaired boy connect with the silent world around him; Queenie, a cat rescued from war-torn Afghanistan, proves that the universal love for an animal can transcend cultures and politics; and Motley, an intuitive feline, helps a grieving mom over three catastrophic losses, showing her that she can find joy again. With chapters on Cats as Teachers and Healers, Furry Family Members, Love and Loss, and Mischief and Mayhem, this is a must-read for all of those people who unabashedly declare themselves "Cat People." It''s a fitting tribute to our favorite felines, who--through their snuggles, meows, and playful pats--make the world a better place.

Everyone wants to be happy--yet so many people are unhappy today. What are they doing wrong? Clearly, a new approach is needed. Self-help guru Shimoff presents three new ideas and a practical program to change the way readers look at creating happiness in their lives: 1. Happiness is not an emotion, a spike of elation or euphoria, but a lasting, neuro-physiological state of peace and well-being. 2. True happiness is not based on what people do or have--it doesn''t depend on external reasons or circumstances. 3. Research indicates that everyone has a happiness set-point. No matter what happens to a person, they will tend to return to a set range of happiness. This book shows how you can actually reprogram your set-point to a higher level.--From publisher description.
