    Essential advice for anyone who feels put-upon by life, on how to carve out your place in a busy worldOur boundaries—the limits we place on what we will and won't tolerate—establish the dynamics of our parenting, jobs, relationships . . . everything. Healthy boundaries create a space where we feel safe, clear, and confident about who we are and what we want. But drawing those lines is often wrongly criticized as selfish, and making space is harder and harder in our ever-encroaching world.In this practical guide, Jayne Hardy—founder and CEO of The Blurt Foundation—helps us reexamine how our boundaries are working for or against us, and she guides us to better protect our physical, emotional, and digital spaces.

    The essential guide for people who have experienced alien contact and for those who love them. 
     
    It has been twenty years since the publication of How to Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction by Ann Druffel. This new book by UFO researcher Kathleen Marden is the essential handbook for this generation. This is the fundamental reference and guide for those who have experienced contact with nonhuman intelligent (NHI) entities, families & friends of those “experiencers,” and anyone interested in alien abduction and contact and UFOs. 
     
    The ten chapters in this book are based on years of research and access to the files of MUFON and the Dr. Edgar Mitchel Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial and Extraordinary Encounters. Chapters include:Am I an abductee, a contactee, or an experiencer?How to investigate your contact experiencesWhen you discover that it isn’t ET: ghosts and paranormal phenomenaWhen you want it to stop: coping strategies and resistance techniques 
     
    Wide-ranging, informative, and helpful, this is a book that will find a place as a crucial resource for anyone fascinated by visitations from other worlds. 
     
    Praise for Extraterrestrial Contact 
     
    “Finally, there is a (much needed and long awaited) practical handbook for anyone looking for guidance on how to comprehend, evaluate, and digest alien abduction memories into the framework of life in the 21st century. . . . An eye-opening bridge for future generations, as it is predicted humanity will likely inhabit another planet by the end of the next century. If contact is inevitable, perhaps those who have been abducted will one day be honored as our evolutionary ambassadors.” —Jennifer W. Stein, Documentary Producer of Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton 
     
    “Once again, author and investigator Kathleen Marden has made a remarkable contribution to the world of serious UFO literature. This wealth of practical, well-documented information contained in [Extraterrestrial Contact] will be invaluable to experiencers and abductees as well as to educators, mental health professionals, and to serious students of ufology worldwide.” —Peter Robbins, long-time assistant to pioneer UFO abduction researcher Budd Hopkins, author, and investigative writer

    Francesco Cirillo developed his famed system for improving productivity as a college student 30 years ago. Using a kitchen timer shaped like a pomodoro (Italian for tomato), Cirillo divided the time he spent working on a project into 25-minute intervals, with 5-minute breaks in between, in order to get more done, without interruptions. By grouping a number of pomodoros together, users can tackle a project of any length, and drastically improve their productivity, enhance their focus, and better achieve their goals. 
    Originally self-published, and shared virally Online, this new publication of The Pomodoro Technique includes several new chapters on how teams can use the pomodoro method to save time and increase productivity. The process underlying Cirillo’s technique includes five stages: planning the day’s tasks, tracking your efforts, recording your daily activities, processing what you have done, and visualizing areas for improvement. With this tried and tested method, listeners can simplify their work, find out how much time and effort a task really requires, and improve their focus so they can get more done in the same amount of time each day.
