Book Description
After years of coaching writers who struggled with procrastination issues, high sensitivity to criticism, and crippling self doubt, Lauren Sapala realized that almost every one of her clients was an INFJ or INFP. Using the insights gleaned from these clients, as well as her own personal story, Sapala shows us how the experience of the intuitive writer can be radically different from the norm. INFJ writers don’t think like anyone else, and their highly creative brains take a toll on them that they rarely share with the outside world. The INFJ Writer discusses such topics as: How an INFJ writer’s physical health is tied to their creative output Why INFJ writers are more likely to fall prey to addictions When an INFJ writer should use their natural psychic ability to do their best creative work Whether looking to start writing again or to finish the novel/memoir they started so long ago, any writer with the self-awareness to identify themselves as highly sensitive and intuitive will benefit from this book that helps them to find their own magic, and to finally use it to build the creative life that actually works for them.

Book Description
Lauren Sapala coached Highly Sensitive Writers for years before she discovered one of the biggest obstacles holding them back in their writing careers: a rock-solid resistance to marketing. Regardless of the wealth of book marketing tools and resources available to writers and artists today, most highly creative people still feel suspicious, confused, or just plain turned off by marketing and sales. The hidden reason behind this resistance is a deeply rooted fear that marketing for writers always results in a loss of integrity for the writer. Almost all highly creative people are also Highly Sensitive People, many of which are INFJ or INFP personality types. These Highly Sensitive Writers feel any possible threat to their integrity intensely. The fear they feel around marketing takes root in limiting beliefs that shut them down before they even begin. Lauren Sapala shares stories and strategies to help Highly Sensitive Writers shift their mindset and open up to new ways to promote their work. She helps all writers realize that—due to their Highly Sensitive nature—they might just make the best salespeople of all.

Book Description
The term “INFJ” might mean little to most people, but to anyone who identifies with this personality type these four letters represent self-discovery, self-acceptance, and a radical new understanding of what it means to be introverted, Highly Sensitive, and empathic. But although ever-growing numbers of INFJs are waking up to the power of our intuitive gifts, we continue to struggle mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in a culture that does not value intuition. Lauren Sapala explores the roadblocks that are still holding many INFJs back and tackles the most important questions for INFJs today. How can we find our purpose? Where and why do we give away our power? And how can we use our unique gifts and innate passion in order to create a better world? Only by moving beyond limiting mindsets and beliefs can INFJs move forward to fulfill our purpose as the healers of the world, and then reclaim our power and step into the role of the leaders we were always meant to be.

Book Description
If the result of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(R) personality inventory is the INFP, typology experts define him as the Healer, the Mediator, the Romantic, and the Advocate. The INFP is one of the rarest types, representing about one or two percent of the population. He is an idealist who focuses on needs and he is compassionate to the point of selflessness. The INFP believes that goodness is the inherent and prevailing nature of mankind. He is here to heal the wounds of the human condition with his words, his hands, or his counsel. The INFP, whose love of metaphor in unsurpassed by any type is, himself, a metaphor of the Romantic Hero. He is an ambitious advocate of human potential and a defender of truth and authenticity. He seeks meaning and life purpose with an incomparable drive. Love, beauty, innocence, and nature are the elements of truth he seeks to preserve and embody. His compassion draws him to his purpose; the problems that disturb him are his life's mission to heal. Although he is the great healer of separations, he is humble and reserved by nature. His challenge is to value his quiet worth enough to express his idealistic visions of truth in a world replete with deviations from it. The INFP who finds his healing purpose finds the way to his freedom and when he does, he makes the world a better place. The highly principled healer, however, is like a very rare and delicate flower that grows in the shade. He often feels isolated and lonely. He wilts when he is criticized and cannot bear conflict of any sort. Sadly, he is drawn to the rain and to the dark. He is often unaware of his power and importance because his reserved nature and his unique constitution tend to be undermined in an obstreperous world. The Healer must dismiss any notions of his meekness if he hopes for others to do the same. When he understands the strengths, challenges, and contradictions of his type, he learns how to manifest his ideals by expressing his truths with abundant energy and enthusiasm. He must believe that the world will enter and delight in his garden of shade when he extends the invitation. "INFP: A Flower in the Shade", is a celebration of the INFP's richness and intensity. It is about the consequences of his preferences and how he can avoid the emotional turmoil that accompanies living in the shade. It is an exploration of his individualism, his quest for truth, his compassion, and his keen conceptual awareness as well as his struggles and his contradictions. It is a discussion of the reasons for his loneliness and of ways for him to appreciate his unique gifts. Its purpose is to help INFP's who may be feeling lost and alone to know how extraordinary they truly are. It is written to assist the Healers on their life journeys, to realize their power, their tremendous influence and their contribution to the world.

Natalie's last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start . . . until she starts seeing the "wrong things." They're just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a preschool where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn't right. Then there are the visits from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls "Grandmother," who tells her, "You have three months to save him." The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it's as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.

Book Description
Can you find real love when you've always got your head in the clouds? Maybell Parish has always been a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. But living in her own world has long been preferable to dealing with the disappointments of real life. So when Maybell inherits a charming house in the Smokies from her Great-Aunt Violet, she seizes the opportunity to make a fresh start. Yet when she arrives, it seems her troubles have only just begun. Not only is the house falling apart around her, but she isn't the only inheritor: she has to share everything with Wesley Koehler, the groundskeeper who's as grouchy as he is gorgeous--and it turns out he has a very different vision for the property's future. Convincing the taciturn Wesley to stop avoiding her and compromise is a task more formidable than the other dying wishes Great-Aunt Violet left behind. But when Maybell uncovers something unexpectedly sweet beneath Wesley's scowls, and as the two slowly begin to let their guard down, they might learn that sometimes the smallest steps outside one's comfort zone can lead to the greatest rewards.
