August 30th, 2012 CEO All too many of us create an outer persona or “ego self” in order to cope with the fear and anxiety of day to day life. This false identity normalizes these intense emotions, stops us from feeling anything at all, and drives us toward artificial goals of financial status and success. No one understands this better than Gregory Nicholas Malouf, a successful businessman and entrepreneur who became a workaholic at 19, earning triple figures each week, and throwing lavish parties and traveling around the world. He thought he was living the ‘perfect life’ until at age 50, his world collapsed and he realized he was living a lie.
Malouf suffered from anxiety and obsessive control disorder; two of the many addictions that had ruled his life because he had not been able to confront the truth of his past. When he wrote Silent: The Power of Silence (Morgan James Publishing) and founded Epsilon Healing Academy, he did so for those who believe what he needed to believe – YOU can release yourself from overwhelming and consuming life burdens, and YOU can access that which you truly desire and live the life you deserve.
August 29th, 2012 CEO Online Reading Groups & In-Person Clubs
Praise the Real-Life BDSM Love Story!
Laura Meets Jeffrey: Both Sides Of An Erotic Memoir is the new, hot read for book clubs.
Co-authored by Jeffrey Michelson and Laura Bradley, Laura Meets Jeffrey is a BDSM erotic cyclone/love story told in brilliant and explicit detail. Laura’s memories provide tantalizing counterpoint to Jeffrey’s first person account. Together they paint an unprecedented non-fiction picture of the master/slave relationship.
August 29th, 2012 CEO CEO and philanthropist Tom Slone planned a whirlwind round of Major League Baseball games with his grandsons just for fun. And because he’s a generous person, he included several other young men and their mentors. What might have become just a fond memory instead forcefully brought home some simple, yet life-changing ideas. Grounders is the story of that trip and the mentoring lessons Slone has used to forge success in business, sports, and life.
In the introduction to Grounders: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey of Baseball, History, and Mentoring, renowned CEO coach Tony Jeary writes: “Tom combines the inspiring and entertaining story of a grand baseball journey with 33 essential lessons that all of us (yes, even those of us who are already very successful) can apply in our lives. He also demonstrates, over and over, the life-changing power of mentoring.”

Synopsis:
The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.
During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.

August 26th, 2012 CEO Everyone has certain areas of life that don’t work. These areas of life may seem to be the problem, but they’re not, says author Bill Ferguson. They are symptoms of something deeper. The moment you resolve this deeper, underlying condition, these areas of life begin to clear up. As a best-selling author of several books on life and relationships, Bill has been called “The Love Doctor.” His most recent book is Get Your Power Back.
“When an area of life isn’t working, there is something under the surface that is creating the problem,” Bill explains. “This condition makes us defensive. It destroys love and takes away our power. It creates a state of fear, upset and tunnel vision. It destroys our ability to find solutions and it forces us to act in a way that actually magnifies the problem.”
Every relationship and every area of life that doesn’t work can be traced to this underlying condition. “Fortunately, this condition can be found and removed. The moment this happens, you restore your ability to see clearly. Solutions appear and this area of life begins to clear up.”
In his profound, yet easy-to-understand book, Get Your Power Back, Bill Ferguson shows step-by-step how to find and remove the destructive, underlying conditions that destroy love and sabotage our lives. The result is more love, more peace and a much more enjoyable, productive life.

Chapter 1
PIGLAND – Sucking Up for Traffic
“When you can find something like Pigland, exploit it and tell the people what they want to hear, even if it means sucking the knob of their man crush.” — Pigman
You say “we” don’t want you in Pigland anymore, as if you speak for the thousands and thousands of people that go there. You are a part of a small minority of people in Pigland that may not want me there, and that’s ok. I learned a long time ago that you can’t, and won’t please everyone. How old are you? Because it’s usually a juvenile that calls people “fat”. I happen to have a medical condition that I deal with every day that contributes to my weight gain. It’s a situation that I deal with every day, but for an adult to resort to the “fat” insults is a bit concerning. Oh you bring up my country, and what kind of an American I am? Have you served your country? What proud service have you given your country? Don’t you dare come at me with that shit.. you know?

The Sarah Kelly Music School was opened last fall by two-time Grammy nominated songwriter and Christian music favorite, Sarah Kelly, who has written songs not only for her own albums but also to help other artists reach the top of the charts.
Located in The Woodlands, north of Houston, Texas, the school offers students a great opportunity to learn to play instruments and write music. Even if students have no previous music experience, they learn to play songs after just a few weeks of lessons and are soon writing their own first songs with a chance at being accepted into the school’s Artist Development Classes. In these classes the focus is on production, vocal training and song writing – giving students access to a studio where their songs are recorded by a professional producer. What sets this school apart from others is that instead of recitals, students experience real ‘gigs’ where they get to know the feel of a stage performance.

August 10th, 2012 CEO A Compelling Tapestry of Dreams, Forgotten Memories and Spiritual Recovery
In a deeply personal story of abuse, forgotten memories, perseverance and triumph, therapist Mike Deninger chronicles his transformation into a healer and champion of those suffering from trauma. In his new memoir Snakes in My Dreams: A Mental Health Therapist’s Odyssey from Hardship to Healer (Unrivaled Books), we meet a father, husband, and prominent educator of the deaf who is concealing secrets he believes must never be divulged.
He is attracted to men, a cause of confusion and self-loathing. He also suffers privately from anxiety, depression, and alcoholism; problems that have plagued him since his youth. But there comes a time in his late 30’s when Deninger can no longer suppress his pain. He begins a search for the roots of his distress, filling journals with all his memories and recording every dream in pursuit of answers. In therapy, he uncovers repressed memories of incest, which he learns are fueling his inner turmoil.
August 9th, 2012 CEO Eddie Upnick interviewed Sidney Dowse in a 1995 chance meeting in Antigua. Before the Second World War broke out, Sidney worked in secret operations for Stewart Menzies. Menzies was the head of MI-6 and had daily meetings with Winston Churchill. Sidney related never before told stories to Upnick, under the condition that they would not be revealed until after Sidney Dowse’s death, which occurred in 2008.
Did time travelers help the allies win World War II?
Sound far-fetched? Perhaps. The head of MI-6 during World War Two, Stewart Menzies, claimed to have met two men carrying hand-held, voice-activated devices before Germany invaded Poland. These men “supposedly” broke the German Enigma codes and improved the fledgling English radar systems.
August 8th, 2012 CEO Lee “Scratch” Perry to Release “Master Piece”
A new lounge-dub and deep trance album from renowned dub-reggae pioneer
Download Soul Man (Reprise) for FREE at RollingStone.com
Master Piece is the new full-length album from renowned dub-reggae pioneer, Lee “Scratch” Perry, with some songs first introduced in 2010 on a ground-breaking EP in their “unfinished” state. Produced by Born Free and The Next Room, the album features ten tracks employing some of the techniques of the Mad Professor but with a distinctly original, updated sound with elements of lounge-dub and deep trance.
August 8th, 2012 CEO Honor And Loyalty Steal Home In The Segregated South
It takes more than heart to win a championship. It takes teamwork, equipment, and most of all, a great coach. In southern Louisiana in 1957, the best coach Ronnie LeBlanc can find for his struggling American Legion Baseball team is black. Based on a true story, Stealing First (Legacy Publishing) by Drew Golden is a tale of poverty, corruption and bias, and ultimately, a powerful message of honor and camaraderie.
In the steamy heat of a Louisiana summer, the Nina Redbirds challenge Breaux Bridge’s Bayou Braves for the regional American Legion Baseball championship. Ronnie LeBlanc, the Redbirds’ talented pitcher, believes winning the regional title is his only chance to escape a hard-scrabble life and a dead-end job at the local sugar mill. He dreams of playing major league baseball – a dream that soon turns into fierce ambition and eventually an obsession.
But his dream begins to evaporate with a string of losses and forfeitures, and as a final blow, the Redbirds’ coach quits. Only one man is willing to help the struggling team: former Negro League pitcher Scoot Groshon. In the deep south in the 1950s, the color of his skin makes Groshon a potential liability for the team. Baseball was strictly segregated and intolerance was strangling talent across the country.
August 7th, 2012 CEO Baggage At A Wedding Doesn’t Always Refer To What’s In The Suitcases

Funny, fast-paced and realistic, Eat, Drink and Be Married puts readers in the middle of college girlfriends who are attending their former roommate’s wedding in Lake Tahoe. While these best friends rehash old times, they discover they are each hiding a piece of themselves from one another.

August 7th, 2012 CEO In This Hellish Plot – You Decide What Is Truth And What Is Fiction…
Realism impacts every chapter of Jeffrey Stephens’ powerful stories with an energy that doesn’t quit to the very last page – and still leaves you wanting more. His latest book, Targets of Opportunity (Gallery Books) is no exception. Telling a vivid story of the real and present dangers of our modern world, it’s evident that Stephens’ did his homework – researching everything from weapons and government agencies to the secretive world of intelligence.
In Targets of Opportunity, Jordan Sandor, top CIA agent, gets dispatched to a safe house in Virginia where he faces off with a top terrorist agent from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. In exchange for protection from his own side, the terrorist offers the CIA mind-blowing information about a secret, unholy alliance among operatives in the Middle East, a ruthless South American and Kim Jong-II’s North Korea. He swears he doesn’t know specifics – just that the strike will target the heart of America.
August 7th, 2012 CEO Chances are, you know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. One out of every three women will contract the disease in their lifetime; for men the odds are even greater. Now, an exciting new protocol has received approval from the FDA and WIRB (Western Institutional Review Board) to conduct a Phase I/II clinical trial on humans for treatment of solid tumor (metastic) cancers using a treatment designed to “supercharge the patient’s immune system and “zap” the cancer cells, destroying them.”
Leading the investigation is Dr. Dipnarine Maharaj, Director of the South Florida Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Institute in Boynton Beach, Florida. A hematologist and oncologist, Dr. Maharaj has been successfully treating patients with blood cancers for years using stem cell treatments. The clinical trials now underway target solid tumor cancers such as breast, cervical, stomach, pancreatic, lung, and melanoma.

Personal Note from singer Gregory Abbott to all of his fans.
Happy Summer. Hope you are all enjoying this season and that you had a chance to meet up with old friends and family, perhaps grab a bit of vacation… or at least relax a little bit. I’ve been spending a lot of time on my boat this summer. The America’s Cup comes to San Francisco in 2013 and preliminary races have already begun. Its the ‘quintessential’ race for sailing yachts. And, just like the Olympics, it brings a multitude of nationalities to this fair city. I’ve never personally been into racing although I love to watch them. I’m more of a ‘chug along on the water with no destination’ type of guy. I love the serenity, the beauty and the excitement of simply exploring…. that brings me to talking about:
The 2012 Olympic Games. I’ve always loved to watch the Parade of Nations and see the mix of countries and culture. I believe it suggests to all that we can indeed get together in peace if we really wanted to… And its so satisfying to watch the magic that happens when an athlete digs deep and comes out with a Gold, Silver or Bronze… especially when it was not expected. It’s what I love about life and the Olympic Games magnifiy that idea….
