    Are you in business, journalism, law enforcement, or medicine?  Do you face students in a classroom or criminals in a courtroom?  Are you in a relationship or looking for one?  Do you have children?  Then you need the skills to read them like a book!  I Can Read You Like a Book features a system for scanning and interpreting anyone’s body language, enabling you to figure out what they are really saying or feeling:  Review:  Check out someone quickly, from head to toe.  Evaluate:  Know what to look for; notice what’s relevant.  Analyze:  Spot voluntary versus involuntary movements; factor in gender, context, culture.  Decide:  Draw your conclusion.  Step-by-step, you will develop the same skills the best interrogators and detectives use to assess spies, criminals, and witnesses.  As part of the process, you will observe some of the most famous people in the world through interrogator Greg Hartley’s eyes. You’ll discover what emotions these politicians, pundits, and stars are leaking through their body language and facial expressions, and what their answers (or non-answers) are really saying.  I Can Read You Like a Book gives you the fastest, most efficient method to read body language. In any kind of face-to-face competition, first encounters or daily encounters, and even watching the news, you will spot the messages and emotions that people are really sending—whether they know it or not.  As a bonus, you will learn how to use your own face and body to your advantage, whether you’re trying to evade a difficult question, handle a sensitive situation, or just playing poker!

    An ordinary hero doing something extraordinary for her mates.  
    Far from an elite athlete, Alexandra André bounced from one running injury to the next for the best part of five years before deciding to take part in the toughest one- day sporting event in the world. Without an ounce of confidence she could achieve it, Alexandra signed up to do the 2015 IRONMAN Melbourne – 3.8 km swim, 180 km ride, 42.195 km run. 
    Training for the event became more of a journey than she could have imagined. One of great purpose, filled with synchronicities and opportunities. 
    THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY is a compelling sports story and much more. Alexandra’s very real and honest account of the highs and lows of reaching her goal make it remarkable. Her story is engaging and relatable, leaving us not only inspired, but with hope in our hearts, full of wonder for the world of possibility that awaits when we find the courage to test our limits.

    In my introduction to the fairy tale, I describe examples from my work as an organizational consultant. What harmful consequences it has on employees when the manager is not aware of his or her effect on others and is not capable of criticism. And that a respectful and non-judgmental attitude on the part of the consultant is the prerequisite for initiating change processes in a person.
    The fairy tale is about King Archibald, who is annoyed about his stupid subjects and about his third wife leaving him. He has heard that there are smart subjects in a faraway kingdom and sets out to learn from that King. Upon arriving, he finds that everything is indeed better here. The subjects are happy to do their work, are relaxed in addressing their questions to the King, and at no time show fear of him, but are in friendly, even personal contact with their King.
    To Archibald's dismay, he learns from Frederic that it is not the subjects who are to blame, but that he himself must change. And to make matters worse, is it not Frederic who teaches him how to improve his kingdom, as he had hoped and which he would find appropriate, but these little colorful creatures that no one has ever seen.... Frederic tells him how he met these beings, the Gefühlsmonsters, and how they have contributed to the fact that he is now a happy King with a wonderful Queen at his side.
    Archibald meets these creatures, in Frederic's garden, and in the beginning keeps running away because he is scared of what will happen to him when they show up. For him, there
    are only royal feelings, and they have nothing to do with what the little colorful creatures
    trigger in him. With the support of Frederic, he gradually gets to know his own feelings and
    is no longer afraid of them. To his delight, over time his subjects behave differently, he
    experiences his first successes, and also setbacks when fear takes hold of him again and
    anger arises over this arduous and difficult path he has taken. Fortunately, he then always
    finds understanding from Frederic, who does not judge Archibald but shows understanding
    for his complaints and kindly and persistently encourages him to continue on this path. Over time, the two become good friends, Archibald lives happily in his realm and can visit
    Frederic again whenever he needs support.
