Since the release of her first book, How to Avoid the Superwoman Complex: 12 Ways to Balance Mind, Body and Spirit in March 2015, Doctor Swiner has been speaking locally and nationally for organizations, groups, high schools and universities about stress management, health matters and self-care. Along with speaking and teaching, she added self-publishing consulting to her list of duties, as friends and colleagues around her became inspired to write and publish themselves.

This book provides an insightful, sometimes humorous guide to help abolish the notion that you have to be superwoman in order for your life to matter. The idea of being all things to all people could be at least part of the reason why you are not truly happy and healthy. The goal of this book is to help you truly examine the elements in your life that serve as stressors disguised as necessary evils. Let's face it - many of the evils we manage on a day-to-day basis are not necessary.

At nineteen years old, Nicole C. Kear's biggest concern is choosing a major - until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown Manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. She is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before lights-out. Instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, Kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. She joins a circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, and through all these high jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret.

Die ganze Zeit scheint ein Puzzlestück zu fehlen, um zu verstehen, was damals passiert ist – bis zu jenem Tag, an dem sie ein mysteriöses Paket mit einem antiken Perlenohrring und den Zeilen eines alten viktorianischen Gedichts erhält. Gibt es einen Zusammenhang zu ihrem schrecklichen Verlust? Gemeinsam mit dem charmanten Oxfordprofessor Sisley Ryland-Bancroft begibt Gemma sich auf die Spurensuche.

David has spent nearly a decade working up the courage to ask out Hannah, his lifelong crush. He’s almost certain she’ll turn him down, but he knows he has to try. What he doesn’t expect is how brutally she rejects him. The sting of it forces David to take a hard look at his life. Maybe what he really needs is a reset: a new town, a new college, a new start. But when he finally moves and meets his new roommate, Chad, it feels like déjà vu. Chad is just like him: quiet, awkward, and just as inexperienced with women.

Craig’s expensive degree got him nowhere but deep in debt. Now he scrapes by doing grunt work for a fire and flood restoration crew—tedious labor, lousy pay, but better than nothing in a dying town. Then comes the rare perk: a month-long job inside the mysterious “castle” that looms over the hills. Craig grew up hearing rumors about it, but nobody had ever been inside. The reclusive owner wants repairs done—but under one strange condition: once the workers enter, they can’t leave until the job is finished.

Logan can’t stop laughing at his sister Sophie. She’s been roped into yet another bridesmaid gig—this time for Clara, her influencer friend turned nightmare bridezilla. Clara demands absolute perfection: endless fittings, nonstop drama, and seemingly endless carefully choreographed TikToks to showcase her “perfect” wedding week.

Since the government launched the Department of Pairing—an AI-driven system that assigns every eighteen-year-old their “perfect match”—society has transformed. Divorce rates have plummeted. Productivity has skyrocketed. People have never been happier. Cameron has spent his whole life waiting for the program to hand him the dream girl he deserves. Instead, on his eighteenth birthday, a government email brings a nightmare: the name of his new husband. And worse, the Department of Employment has matched him with the role of housewife. They expect him to play the woman’s part. Dresses. Makeup.

Myles hasn’t had many wins since his wife cheated, divorced him, and left him with nothing. But then he stumbles onto what feels like a miracle: a massive two-story rental for the price of a shoebox apartment. It’s old, sure, but it’s furnished, the utilities are included, and for once in his life, something finally feels like it’s going his way. That is—until he finds the mirror. At first, it’s just a dusty relic tucked away in one of the upstairs rooms.

Mark never cheated—honestly. But Susie never believed him. Her constant accusations finally push him to end things for good. Over coffee, he makes it official: the relationship is over. He doesn’t expect to fall into something new so soon... but a few days later he’s unexpectedly drawn into a budding romance. It feels right—natural—even if he knows he has to keep it quiet for Susie’s sake. But secrets never stay buried. When Susie finds out, she’s furious. Not as furious as her mother, Elaine, though. Mark once promised Elaine that if he ever hurt her daughter, he’d pay the price.

Program director Ms. Nowak is at the end of her rope. Her boarding program for international female fashion students is one resident short of meeting the requirements for funding—and in this economy, new applicants are scarce. Then, a spark of hope arrives: an application from a student named Maddie, the missing piece Ms. Nowak needs to secure financing. But when “Maddie” shows up, it’s not the girl she expected. It’s Matty—a boy. A translation error on his paperwork has thrown everything into chaos. And with a government reviewer scheduled to visit in just days, Ms.

Lou just found out he’s got a rare cancer, and only has a few months left to live. He’s naturally distraught for a few days, and then he gets a call from an experimental research facility. They’ve been testing a ‘cure’ for that specific cancer, and Lou has been accepted into the trial.

So maybe Ben can help Anthony to accept that prize money and get a small piece of it.
