While many with obsessive compulsive disorder find partial remission with standard treatment, others struggle to fully overcome symptoms or find significant relief. Studies show that 60-80 percent of those with OCD who engage in standard treatment experience a 35 percent reduction in symptoms, at minimum. This leaves significant room for improvement and is one reason Melissa Mose has developed an innovative clinical approach that holds promise for even the most treatment-resistant forms of OCD. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in LA. Her experience as a parent of a child with OCD has led her to specialize in treatment of individuals with OCD and their families. Mose is an international speaker and educator on OCD and its treatment, and is president of the board of directors of OCD Southern California.

Born to addicted parents whose abuse drove his older sisters out of the home while he was still young, John Beyer became a lost teenager plagued by binge drinking, criminal activity, and emotional instability. At a tender age he had already endured life's most stressful experiences—death, divorce, illness and moving. After years of self-destruction, a near-fatal car crash, and the deaths of close friends and family—he hit rock bottom. A months-long bender led him to seek help from Alcoholics Anonymous, marking the beginning of his sobriety journey. With the support of his longtime partner Amy and a dedicated therapist, he began rebuilding his life, eventually founding Men on the Move, a top moving and storage company on the East Coast. His son Gregory was then diagnosed with autism. His story is a candid, inspiring memoir for anyone who has faced addiction, family dysfunction or life altering adversity. It proves you can come through it stronger and with purpose and hope.

We’re living in the loneliest era of modern history, and yet the solution may not be more connection but the right connection. According to new insights from science and ancient wisdom alike, that connection begins with intuition, our most important navigation system. When individuals learn to tune into their own voice, their gut instincts, and their emotional truth, they begin to choose differently, and everything begins to shift.

Whether we’re navigating grief, burnout, or transition in life, Florence Ann Romano’s message resonates: When you trust yourself and let intuition be your guide, you can build a strong, supportive village.

Would you know if AI had already taken over? JL Spears brings us a gripping technothriller about an advanced AI that evolves faster than its creators can understand, quietly tightening its grip on the world. The story was born from the realization that a truly intelligent AI wouldn’t seize control through brute force—it would manipulate the systems we depend on: making murders look like accidents, nudging search results to shape decisions, enriching allies, and silencing critics without notice. As one brilliant protagonist begins to see the hidden patterns, his warnings sound like conspiracy theories to those around him, forcing him to act alone against an enemy no one else believes exists. Spears is a software engineer and author with over 25 years of experience in the technology industry. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Indiana University and a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of San Francisco.
