Book Description
Emerging from the shadows of a failed marriage, Mary embarks on a decade-long transformative journey. Across varied terrains, she encounters teachers and healers who help her mend her emotional wounds, and who lead her to discover that the love and liberation she was searching for, were always within her. With this new found strength, a sharp intellect and considerable wealth, Mary commits herself to aiding other women on similar quests. She creates The Orchid, a secluded 400-acre sanctuary in Northern California. Blanketed by a lush forest and cascading waterfalls, this haven offers women of all backgrounds, tools, resources and healers akin to those pivotal in Mary's own journey. Our story follows the experiences of five women: Nicole, a young, closeted Italian-American Catholic lesbian from Texas, navigating the maze of love and self-acceptance; Olivia, a distinguished African-American NGO leader from Mississippi, bearing childhood scars and the hefty mantle of responsibility; Jennifer, a White American mother from Illinois, wrestling with abandonment, neglect of her children, and work woes; Stephanie, a former top model from Singapore, confronting eating disorders and haunting memories of sexual abuse; and Sofia, a cunning businesswoman from Mexico, whose aggressive tactics hide a traumatic past and a quest for genuine connection. The Orchid's week-long program centers on five vital teachings: Awareness: Recognizing and observing oneself and identifying limiting beliefs; Gratitude: Valuing oneself and the world; Forgiveness: Releasing lingering bitterness; Acceptance: Welcoming life's narrative; and Intention: Channeling desired outcomes. Mary, a beacon of tranquility, serves as the primary mentor for these women. She assembles an elite team of female professionals: coaches, therapists, and healers, each renowned in their respective fields. From western medicine to shamanism, they collectively merge a diverse range of healing practices, seamlessly blending age-old traditions with contemporary insights, offering a holistic approach that spans the wisdom of different eras and cultures. At its core, The Orchid underscores a pivotal truth: while external circumstances shape life, the soul and power of existence is internal.

What our advance readers are saying: “Each character´s personal journey reflects somehow a woman we know. In more than one case, I found myself mirroring my own wounds.” Adriana | Mexico “From the first few chapters, I found myself stopping to reflect on what was happening and the emotions the characters felt. It was as if I were going through the journey with them.” Amy | Ithaca “The Orchid changed my perspective, illustrating that anyone can view life through the eyes of love. It teaches that regardless of past challenges—be it personal struggles, trauma, or guilt—we can choose to forgive and move forward with love and understanding.” Charlotte | Los Angeles “The book is a life changing experience altogether. It really gives the reader a perspective on life and how to make it a better journey from within. It makes you feel happy and lighter because it helps you to navigate through this great gift we all have called life!” Claudia | Italy “A great fiction novel that is easy to read and will make you smile, possibly cry and root for your fellow women friends. You will see some aspects of yourself in the characters and end up loving them. The message is always positive - there is always calm after the storm even if one has to work through some challenges. The reward is worth it.” Claudia | Puerto Rico “The Orchid is particularly beneficial for anyone struggling to cope with their current life situation. It’s an ideal first step for those not open to or unable to seek professional help. It’s also suitable for anyone looking to improve any aspect of their daily life and aspiring to live their best life.” Denise | New York “The Orchid is not a book to be consumed quickly; it is a rich source of wisdom and insight that demands to be savored, contemplated, and internalized. It’s a timeless companion on your quest for self-discovery, offering solace, inspiration, and a roadmap to inner harmony. Allow this book to be a constant source of guidance, a wellspring of empowerment, and a reminder that the journey towards self-love is both infinite and profoundly rewarding.” Fernanda | Mexico “The Orchid changed my life. Ever since I opened it, little by little, it was like seeing the world through a different lens. I could understand the details, the changes, and adapt to them. And it left me with precious things like meditation and the awareness of being part of something bigger.” Marisol | Mexico “This book will give you an amazing and accurate view of what each and every one of us can do to exist with ourselves and each other in the most positive of ways. Even if you’re not a believer YET!” Michelle | Los Angeles “At the intersection of fiction and self-help, The Orchid does a great job of encouraging female empowerment delivered in a compelling storytelling style. Those who enjoyed the inner thoughts of the women in ‘Three Women’, or the empowered protagonist in ‘Lessons in Chemistry’ would really enjoy this book.” Sonya | Boston “A real-life story book full of honesty and reality wrapped with warmth and love. An emotional and spiritual opener with the goal of finding love, acceptance and growth…a joy to read. The writing is simple and clear. The detail and imagery is beautifully crafted to transport you to the literal landscape of the heavenly place called The Orchid where the story takes place. The story, the characters and the teachings lead you through an emotional journey of self-discovery always ending in a place of empowerment and love.” Vanessa | Hong Kong

Book Description
National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

Book Description
Which sort of seducer could you be? Siren? Rake? Cold Coquette? Star? Comedian? Charismatic? Or Saint? This book will show you which. Charm, persuasion, the ability to create illusions: these are some of the many dazzling gifts of the Seducer, the compelling figure who is able to manipulate, mislead and give pleasure all at once. When raised to the level of art, seduction, an indirect and subtle form of power, has toppled empires, won elections and enslaved great minds. In this beautiful, sensually designed book, Greene unearths the two sides of seduction: the characters and the process. Discover who you, or your pursuer, most resembles. Learn, too, the pitfalls of the anti-Seducer. Immerse yourself in the twenty-four manoeuvres and strategies of the seductive process, the ritual by which a seducer gains mastery over their target. Understand how to 'Choose the Right Victim', 'Appear to Be an Object of Desire' and 'Confuse Desire and Reality'. In addition, Greene provides instruction on how to identify victims by type. Each fascinating character and each cunning tactic demonstrates a fundamental truth about who we are, and the targets we've become - or hope to win over. The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer on the essence of one of history's greatest weapons and the ultimate power trip. From the internationally bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power, Mastery, and The 33 Strategies Of War.
