NEW WORLD NOW PODCAST, Episode 2: CLEARING EMOTIONAL CLUTTER with Donald Altman
By Publicity Admin

Episode 2 of the New World Now podcast is now live for your listening pleasure. Host Kim Corbin interviews Donald Altman, author of Clearing Emotional Clutter: Mindfulness Practices for Letting Go of What’s Blocking Your Fulfillment and Transformation.

On one level or another, we all carry around some form of baggage, trauma, adversity, or pain from the past. Whether it’s a result of what others have done to us, what we’ve done to others, or even the harm we’ve done to ourselves, this inner emotional clutter directly affects our ability to live a fulfilling life. Drawing on both modern science and ancient practices, Altman explains how managing emotional clutter begins with managing our brains. He also offers easy-to-use practices for dissolving emotional clutter, whether it’s old emotional wreckage from our childhood or new emotional clutter that can build up daily if left unchecked.

A WRITER’S GUIDE TO GETTING PUBLISHED by New World Library Publisher Marc Allen
By Publicity Admin

What is the main difference between a successful writer and an unsuccessful writer?

It’s not the quality of the work. A lot of very good writers are not successful. It’s a matter of how much the writer understands how the publishing industry works, and how they can best present their work and find their audience.

The first thing I tell beginning writers is this: Study the industry. Get to know how it works. Read things about it. Ideally, go to the big annual publishing convention, Book Expo America. It’s not for everybody, and it can be overwhelming for some people, but the entire book industry is spread out in one huge room, and you can learn a tremendous amount about how it all works. It’s in late May and early June in 2017 in New York City. Or go to local writing and publishing events. And get this book: Jeff Herman’s Guide to Book Publishers, Editors & Literary Agents.

By Publicity Admin

In the eleven years that I have been a part of New World Library’s publishing team, my life has been deeply affected by the relationships and conversations I have been fortunate enough to have with our authors. They are truly at the forefront of helping to create a new paradigm in this world. The awareness and practical tools I have gained inspired me to want to create and host a New World Library podcast, to provide an outlet where I can dive deeper with our authors, in a more intentional way, while sharing their wisdom with others.

PRACTICING THOUGHT AWARENESS TRAINING: An excerpt from FULLY ENGAGED by Thomas M. Sterner
By Publicity Admin

When we are “fully engaged,” we are in the here and now doing just what we are doing.

We are not contemplating the future or the past and don’t judge how well or poorly we are performing.

In Fully Engaged: Using the Practicing Mind in Daily Life, bestselling author Thomas Sterner promises that present moment awareness at that level is the ultimate definition of success.

We hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from the book.

THE POWER OF PROFIT SHARING by New World Library Publisher Marc Allen
By Publicity Admin

There is one simple little practice that can transform every company in the world — large and small — into a profit-making powerhouse.

I say this as the owner of a highly profitable company. Most successful publishing companies have profits in the range of 5 to 10 percent of their income. Ours is usually around 20 percent and has been as high as 36 percent when we’ve had a bestseller. What’s our secret? It’s very simple. . . .

When I first started New World Library, I knew nothing about business. I had never taken a class in it. But I read business books voraciously for a while. And then I read a magazine article that changed my company — and changed my life — quickly and dramatically.
