Learn how to celebrate what's good in your work, your relationships, your family, and yourself!

On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you? Wayne and Mary Sotile have addressed that simple question to thousands of people in their work as clinical psychologists and motivational speakers. And they've found that most people—regardless of race, culture, or class—rate themselves a 7, "mildly happy." What's wrong with being average? Well, every 7 longs to be a 10.

In their new book, the Sotiles show us how to make that transition—how to join the ranks of those who truly thrive. All it takes is letting go of what's holding you back. Whether you sabotage yourself through negative emotions, a lack of self-knowledge, or bad habits like laziness or procrastination, this life-changing book will inspire you to push yourself beyond your normal limits and become passionately engaged with your work, your relationships, your family, your health—whatever is most important to you.

Filled with the same series of illuminating self-assessments and exercises that the Sotiles present at their seminars for corporate executives, Letting Go of What's Holding You Back takes readers step by step from self-discovery through self-fulfillment. Everyone—everyone—has the ability to lead a happy, engaged life. So what are you waiting for?

Why do some heart disease patients recover and lead long, robust lives, while others wither and live like invalids? The answer lies in how people deal with the emotional ravages of the illness.

For twenty-five years, Wayne M. Sotile, Ph.D., has helped cardiovascular patients not only survive but thrive In this groundbreaking book, he outlines commonsense advice from cutting-edge research-a program he developed as Director of Psychological Services at the Wake Forest University Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, the world's first comprehensive mind-body center for living well with heart disease. His practical approach focuses on psychological obstacles that most heart patients' face and few are warned about, depression, anger, hostility, stress, anxiety, and lack of human intimacy.

Brimming with charts, questionnaires, real-life scenarios, and nuts-and- bolts advice, Thriving with Heart Disease teaches readers to create a new way of living that cultivates heart-healthy attitudes toward life in general and their lives in particular.

Written with a reassuring blend of authority, compassion, and humor, Thriving with Heart Disease will help the twelve million Americans living with heart disease-and their fifty million loved ones-to live very long, very well, and very happily with this second-chance disease.

This new publication by the Sotiles is an insightful new book that arms physicians with strategies and coping techniques for effectively managing themselves and others.

Using easy to implement strategies, The Resilient Physician helps physicians identify their personal stress triggers, reduce anxiety and anger, enhance collaboration & collegiality, and strengthen leadership skills.

Wayne and Mary Sotile, experienced health care consultants, detail practical tactics gleaned from 25 years of work with thousands of physicians and hundreds of medical organizations. At a time when health care practitioners and practices face continual change, this book provides knowledge physicians need to effectively take on new challenges.
