New World Library Unshelved

In 1999, New World Library senior publicist and social media manager Kim Corbin created iSkip, a skipping movement that attracted worldwide media attention. In this uplifting conversation with Energy Speaks author Lee Harris on his popular Impact the World podcast, Kim discusses her unique calling as a "skipping activist" and offers a unique perspective on the ups and downs of the creator's journey. She also offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into what it's like to work at New World Library. We hope you’ll enjoy the interview. 

Now more than ever, we as a society are addicted to our phones — and to getting “likes” on our social media posts. And it can work like an actual addiction in our brain chemistry, activating the ventral striatum part of the brain, which is the same area that lights up when we gamble, enjoy a slice of cake, or have sex. But as so many of us know, getting love and approval from outside ourselves is fleeting, and soon we are picking up our phones again, searching for more approval. 

Diana Rowan, author of The Bright Way: Five Steps to Freeing the Creative Within, believes that our collective shelter-in-place experience will ultimately inspire us to honor connection like never before. We hope you’ll enjoy this interview with her about the importance of creativity in challenging times. For more New World Library author interviews, please visit our YouTube channel.

Stop whatever you’re doing. Pause. Close your eyes. Place your hand over your chest and take a deep breath. Allow your thoughts to settle like dancing flakes in a snow globe. Then connect with the wisest part of you.
 
Have you been making choices based on your inner GPS and your own true knowing, or are you allowing the news, a relative, a neighbor, or something else to dictate how you respond to your family?
 

New World Library has been publishing books that heal and transform lives for over 40 years. In recent weeks, we have been deeply inspired by the way many of our authors have been offering their unique perspectives and teachings via social media to help see others through the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak. 

As Billy Manas can attest, getting sober is easy compared to living sober. But if he can do it, so can you, and he’s going to help you with nuts-and-bolts suggestions for finding financial, personal, and emotional well-being to live your own version of a kickass life. Billy’s techniques for getting there are simple yet profound — tackling manageable goals, finding inspiration (in whatever way works for you), asking for help (even when you don’t want to), practicing gratitude and meditation (even if you think they’re silly), and steering clear of people who rain on your parade.
