The Survival Guide for Making and Being Friends

The Survival Guide for Making and Being Friends

James J. Crist, Ph.D.
2014


This book is for kids and their parents. Whether or not they’re dealing with regular “kid” problems, ADHD, depression, or anxiety, making and keeping friends sometimes seems to be more difficult for certain children, and yet, it’s one of the most important skillsets for a successful life.

New Year, New Pathways


We’re all on a great adventure, full of twists and turns, sometimes up, sometimes down. We’re carrying a new series by Steven Pressfield, and his newest book is perfect for starting the year off right. The Artist’s Journey: The Wake of the Hero’s Journey and the Lifelong Pursuit of Meaning is one of those life-changing books that speaks to everyone. Pressfield speaks to our primary hero’s journey – the passage we live out, in real life, before we find our calling, and our journey to discover our true selves. In the process, we must work through resistance and follow the Muse to the work we were born to do. Sound good? It is.

We’re all artists in one form or other, crafting our lives and our livelihoods, moving past self-sabotage to get out of our own way. On our way to a more fulfilling life, we must be mindful of the journey, as the process is what brings us the most joy. To live is to learn. Other books in the series include The War of Art: Break Through Your Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles, Do The Work: Overcome Resistance and Get Out of Your Own Way, and Turning Pro: Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life’s Work.

We’re in our new location – and it’s amazing!

Our new location is much larger and better laid out so you have plenty of room to browse our aisles. I’ll be uploading pictures and videos on this blog and on facebook. We’ve got lots of parking (in front of our store 108 East Broadway till 3:00 pm) in the neighborhood, including side streets and parking lots within a block or two of the store.
