I would have loved to give each and every one of them a copy of this book!” ~~Carol Kinsey Goman, Ph.D., author of The Nonverbal Advantage: Secrets and Science of Body Language at Work “Women who live their lives as doormats fear that they will be viewed as a BITCH if they learn how to say 'no' and set boundaries with others. So they keep their heads low and allow others to trample all over them. But with this book these women can finally learn how to effectively take charge of their lives and finish on top, while keeping their dignity in tact. Thanks Daylle for an awesome and inspiring read!” ~~Debra Mandel, Ph.D.: psychologist and author of several books including, Don't Call Me a Drama Queen! “Daylle Deanna Schwartz's newest book, Nice Girls Can Finish First rocks! There are many women in my counseling practice who can use and benefit from the great exercises and information here. I really like Daylle's explanation of how to be a nice girl, yet not become a people pleaser or a doormat. She outlines the pitfalls of being nice to others without being nice to yourself; and she shows girls how to say no, nicely. Nice Girls Can Finish First offers a really helpful self-empowerment tool kit, and the 'notes to self' are keepers. A very useful, practical and helpful book for any young woman who wants to be nice, yet not walked over.” ~~Tina B. Tessina, PhD, psychotherapist and author of many books including, Money, Sex and Kids: Stop Fighting about the Three Things That Can Ruin Your Marriage.

Book Description
From a therapist and expert in emotional eating, the first book to explore the link between weight gain and women who do too much, complete with proven techniques for dropping pounds. Many women put too much on their plates, both literally and figuratively. In Nice Girls Finish Fat, psychotherapist Karen R. Koenig explains the link between the two and gives overweight women detailed advice on how to lose their extra baggage—both emotional and physical—by becoming more assertive in every aspect of life. For the millions of overweight women in America, diet and exercise just aren’t cutting it. That’s because many of these women have emotional issues buried deep beneath those stubborn pounds, issues that must be dealt with first if weight loss plans are to succeed. In this illuminating book, based on decades of professional experience, Karen Koenig offers on-the-page psychotherapy to help readers attack the roots of their food problems. With her engaging personal style, she teaches women about the biological connections between repressed emotions and eating, revealing the ways many women use food to stuff their anger, control their aggression, and assuage their feelings of guilt—all in the pursuit of being “nice.” Giving “good girls” permission to love themselves first, Koenig offers thought-provoking quizzes and questions to help readers identify and overcome the habits that have been holding them back. Empowering readers to gain the confidence they need to lose weight, Nice Girls Finish Fat not only shows women how to stop obsessing about food and develop healthy eating habits, it teaches readers skills to improve every aspect of their lives.

Book Description
Attitude can be sexy— a practical and inspirational guide for using kindness and positivity as a winning strategy from Celebrity Apprentice champion, Hollywood veteran, and New York Times bestselling author Leeza Gibbons. We live in a winner-take-all world, in which only the toughest thrive. On the surface, from the living room to the boardroom, it’s certainly no place for nice. Civility and kindness are often the price of admission, and empowering communication is checked at the door. Leeza Gibbons is a culture changer who doesn’t “mess with mean.” She has fiercely redefined optimism, and used positive communication as an empowerment strategy to win with class. She refuses to to sacrifice kindness as she has succeeded in getting ahead. Working for decades in an intense, often merciless industry that rewards novelty, ruthlessness, and the next big thing she has applied smart principles and excelled through savviness—without having to sell her soul or fake it. But redefining nice does not mean being a pushover. As the winning contestant on the hit show Celebrity Apprentice, the former host of Entertainment Tonight relied on her fresh and authentic “no drama” mentality and smart strategies to outmaneuver the other contestants without disempowering them. Throughout the competition, Leeza kept her cool and, most importantly, remained true to herself and her values. In this book, she reveals the secrets of her years of success and bares the stories and vulnerable moments that led to where she is today. Her success is proof that optimism works. You can play it your way and still win. In Fierce Optimism Leeza combines stories from her own life and tales of other pioneering business leaders with core principles that others can apply to take them to the next level of success: • Engage optimism and kindness as your competitive edge • See success unshared as failure • Empower the team, and you win • Pay it forward by mentoring others • Be transparently you Filled with down-to-earth advice and empowering stories, Fierce Optimism makes clear that with kindness, authenticity, and smart teamwork, you can be nice—and win.

Book Description
Are you living your richest, gutsiest, juiciest life? Do you feel all the exquisite bliss and sweetness you can imagine? If not – if you aren't experiencing the abundance and personal freedom you crave; if you're not vitally and deeply connected with your loved ones; if you're unable to attract and maintain a soul-nurturing, awe-inspiring, passionate primary relationship-it can only mean one thing. You are not expressing the full truth of who you are. Well, it's time to change that! Juicy Joy is a streamlined path to radical authenticity and the ability to flat-out adore that precious, imperfectly perfect you. Living juicy-joyfully is not a matter of adding anything to yourself. It's simply a matter of shedding the limitations that separate you from your true core being-the limitations that trap you in the numbness and detachment that have become distressingly "normal" in our culture. Wouldn't it feel amazing to trust your instincts and fearlessly act on them? Isn't it time to gain mastery over your experience of life, shed victimhood, and learn to honor the voice within you that always, unfailingly leads you to your greatest joy and highest truth? Juicy Joy is an invitation to a bigger life-a deeper, richer, more rewarding existence. And it will launch you into an enduring love affair with your glorious, genuine self!
