Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining: America's Toughest Family Court Judge Speaks Out
"Can we get some reality in here?" asks Judy Sheindlin, former supervising judge for Manhattan Family Court. For twenty-four years she has laid down the law as she understands it: - If you want to eat, you have to work.
- If you have children, you'd better support them.
- If you break the law, you have to pay.
- If you tap the public purse, you'd better be accountable
Now she abandons all judicial restraint in a scathing critique of the system--filled with realistic hard-nosed alternatives to our bloated welfare bureaucracy and our soft-on-crime laws..

Cancer on $5 a Day* *(chemo not included): How Humor Got Me Through the Toughest Journey of My Life
In the spring of 2000, Robert Schimmel was riding high. He’d won the Stand-Up of the Year Award, his HBO special was a huge hit, and his sitcom had been picked up. And then it all came crashing down. Diagnosed with Stage III non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, he was told he would have to undergo chemotherapy immediately. The sitcom was dumped and the fire of his white-hot career started to go out. But Schimmel never lost his sense of humor, his knife-like edge, and most of all, his passion to entertain. Indeed, it was his basic need to laugh-even if the only people around him were suffering from cancer and the room he was playing was the Mayo Clinic infusion center-that carried him through his ordeal. From his colorful banter with nurses and other patients during chemo, to his hilarious conversation with a wig salesman, going for the laugh was Robert Schimmel’s survival mechanism. Alternately laugh-out-loud funny and profound, Cancer on Five Dollars a Day is an honest account of how one man’s face-off with a deadly disease helped him better understand himself. .

The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process: Transcend Your Toughest Times
When we experience stressful or traumatic events, the body records and stores this information with great accuracy Each trauma leaves its mark, etched into both our psyche and our physical makeup. The chronic muscle tension patterns we accumulate affect how well we function, preventing us from accessing our most alive state. In addition to explaining how stress, anxiety, and trauma affect our mental wellbeing and physical health, The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process draws on the body's amazingly precise record of our histories to provide a simple yet powerful way to access and release our tension. By reestablishing our equilibrium, stabilizing our lives, and returning us to emotional health, it allows us to enjoy a vibrant state of being. The magic of David Berceli s revolutionary Trauma Release Process is, because it functions equally well as a stand-alone program or in conjunction with other modalities, that it can be used by individuals to heal their personal trauma, groups such as first responders in a situation like 9/11, and large populations in the wake of disasters on the scale of a tsunami or earthquake. .
