FREE: Professional Integrity (A Riyria Chronicles Tale)
Summary
One of the genre's favorite pairs returns in a classic fantasy short for both Riyria veterans and first-time readers. Several years have passed since the war-weary mercenary Hadrian and cynical ex-assassin Royce joined forces to start their thieves-for-hire organization better known as Riyria. Things have gone well enough for the team as they do "jobs" for various nobles throughout Elan. Usually that means stealing something, but when a young heiress asks them to steal her…well, that's a first for the pair. All is not as it seems, but Royce is determined to get the bottom of what's actually going on. After all, he has his professional integrity at stake. Originally released in the Blackguards anthology published by Ragnarok Publications, this is a standalone short story of 10,800 words. No prior knowledge of The Riyria Revelations is required to enjoy it to its fullest, making this a perfect introduction for new readers or a chance for existing fans to spend a little more time with old friends.

You Are Not Your Pain
Summary
Pain, suffering, and stress can be intolerable, but it doesn't have to be this way. You Are Not Your Pain reveals a simple set of mindfulness-based practices that you can incorporate into your daily life to relieve chronic pain and the suffering and stress of illness. Clinical trials show that mindfulness meditation can be as effective as prescription painkillers and can enhance the body's natural healing systems, while also significantly reducing anxiety, depression, irritability, exhaustion, and insomnia - all symptoms that can arise from chronic pain and illness. Developed by two authors who themselves have struggled with severe pain due to serious injuries, this accessible book reveals the eight-week program that will quickly melt away your suffering and help you cope with your pain. Taking up just 10-20 minutes per day, this is a simple yet effective way to soothe some of the common causes of pain like back problems, arthritis, migraine, and diabetes, but can also be effective for people undergoing chemotherapy, people with heart disease, fibromyalgia, celiac disease, and much more. Listeners will be able to identify and focus on secondary suffering which is brought about when the mind becomes fixated on the anxiety of pain, and begins to anticipate it, thereby making suffering worse. Using the meditations and techniques within the book, listeners will learn to breathe in to their pain and dissolve suffering by soothing the brain's pain networks and leaving you able to live life fully again.

The Mindfulness and Meditation Summit: Volume 2
Summary
Five acclaimed teachers and visionaries show us how mindfulness practice can boost our performance and creativity. What, exactly, is mindfulness? It's a "baseline" of awareness and nonresistance that you can build on the cellular level. Why practice it? Through mindfulness meditation, you rewire your neural pathways to calm yourself in any situation, better manage your emotions, amplify your attention and presence, gain insight into "unsolvable" problems, make wiser decisions, and improve all of your relationships. What's more, all of these shifts create a ripple effect that benefits your family, friends, workplace, and community. On Mindfulness and Meditation: Volume Two, you're invited to learn with these inspiring presenters: Shinzen Young - "How Science Is Relevant to Your Meditation Practice" Bonus meditation: “Untangle and Be Free” Daniel Goleman, PhD - "Altered Traits: The Benefits of Mindfulness for Leadership and Emotional Intelligence" Vidyamala Burch - "Free Your Mind When Your Body Hurts: An Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Pain Management" Bonus meditation: "A Guided Breath-Based Body Scan to Soften Resistance to Pain" Alanis Morissette - "Taking a Beautiful Seat and Trusting Life" Michael Gervais, PhD - "Meet Them Where They Sweat: Mindfulness in High Performance Sports Psychology" Note: This program is a compilation of presentations that were originally offered via the internet, so some sound inconsistencies may be present.
