"Social scientist and behavior researcher Joseph Grenny shares his ten-year experience with his son's drug addiction. Through faith, study and prayer, he found insights and revelation as he studied Moroni, military leader and man of God in the Book of Mormon (of the American Continent B.C.), which brought renewed hope in God's plan for his son's deliverance. Spiritual principles abound in the seventeen chapters in Alma that cover the war years of the Book of Mormon. Joseph encourages readers to pray and seek their own answers in the battle against Satan--seeking freedom from captivity in addiction for our loved ones."--From amazon.com.

Addiction is the most pernicious plague of our time. It is the cause of incalculable suffering both to the addict and to those who love them. Much of the suffering comes because of the hopelessness all feel as attempts to help oneself or others lead to repeated failure. And worse yet, much of what loved ones try to do to help often makes matters worse rather than better. Fortunately, a loving God foresaw our day and provided eternal wisdom far in advance. In Moroni's War on Addiction, New York Times bestselling author Joseph Grenny and his son, Seth Grenny, share their father and son story of descent into addiction and deliverance through study of Book of Mormon accounts of bondage and deliverance. Loved ones of addicts will find both comfort and counsel as they learn how the Book of Mormon hero Moroni assisted his countrymen in emerging from self-destructive choices. Those suffering in addiction will learn potent principles with which they can plan their own battle plan to regain freedom.

A stunning approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides? Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of Change Anything will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. Change Anything shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results. The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief—featuring a new afterword by the author “A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul.”—Los Angeles Times “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was his college professor Morrie Schwartz. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn’t you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live. “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world.
