So-Called Normal Shares Gripping True Story of Suicide Attempt Survival and Resilience

New York NY, February 5, 2021 — By age 15, depression and anxiety had taken their toll on Mark Henick. Clinging to an outside girder on an overpass, a deeply troubled Henick made the only decision he thought he could. And he let go. 

Henick’s newly released book, So-Called Normal: A Memoir of Family, Depression and Resilience, aims to break the relentless stigma of mental illness through his candid, intensely personal account of his youth, the events that led to that fateful night on the bridge, and the experiences and transformation that followed. Henick takes readers inside the mind of a boy who had to deal with the breakdown of his parents’ marriage, an abusive stepfather, bullying and trauma — all while trying to navigate his progressively worsening mental health. In the backdrop is a community that didn’t talk about mental illness, one where silence and maintaining the comforts of “normal” was paramount. 

So-Called Normal is a vital, triumphant story of perseverance and recovery that has already touched the hearts of many, including television personality Rosie O’Donnell.

“Mark Henick is a powerful storyteller. His vivid account of his early years as a depressed, suicidal teenager is a page-turner. So-Called Normal is beautifully written, heart-wrenching, and hopeful. Necessary reading for anyone who wants a peek inside the mind of someone who journeyed through mental illness and found hope on the other side,” O’Donnell said.

Author Mark Henick’s TEDx talk, Why We Choose Suicide, is one of the most watched in the world and has been viewed millions of times. His search for “the man in the brown jacket” whose bravery and strong arms kept him from falling to his death went viral around the world (and was successful!). Henick has been on television and radio and has written many articles on mental health. He has hosted more than 60 intimate conversations about mental health with notable public figures and celebrities on his podcast, So-Called Normal, and has executive produced and hosted the Living Well podcast for Morneau Shepell. Henick has served on the board of directors for the Mental Health Commission of Canada, and was the president of a provincial division of the Canadian Mental Health Association — the youngest person in either role. He has worked as a frontline clinician, a program manager and the national director of strategic initiatives for CMHA. Currently the CEO and principal strategist for Strategic Mental Health Consulting, Mark Henick is in high demand as an international keynote speaker on mental health recovery.

Powerful True Story Inspires Others to Seek Adventure, Turn Each Day into a Gift

Fort Wayne, IN, February 5, 2021 — Brittany Moser’s short life was not defined by how she died, but rather, by how she lived each day to the fullest and the profound impact she had on those around her. Brittany died from a rare condition, Addison’s disease, in 2017 at the age of 32. She had been a happy-go-lucky flight attendant, soaring high above reality, when her diagnosis suddenly brought her down to earth.

Rather than buckle under the weight of fear, she chose to be fearless and embarked upon the adventure of a lifetime with her best friend — her father. Free and Fearless: The Amazing Impact of One Precious Life is Brittany’s unforgettable story as told by her father, Philip Moser.

“This book is not about the grief of losing a child, but about making the most out of what we are given and living our lives positively and not out of fear,” Moser writes. “Brittany inspired me, an ordinary farm boy, to explore life, to climb mountains and to write a book.”

Free and Fearless is an honest, poignant account of Brittany’s legacy and the ripple effect that her outlook on life had on everyone who knew her. Philip hopes that by hearing her story, readers will be inspired by Brittany’s contagious spirit and unwavering desire for new adventures and experiences — even in the shadow of an incurable illness.

Among Brittany’s valuable life lessons that Philip shares with readers are:

1. How precious life is and how we can affect the people around us;
2. How an open mind and a positive attitude can inspire us to do things we never thought possible;
3. How to move out of our comfort zones and into a challenging existence that can turn each day into an exciting gift to be explored;
4. How to not let fear control us, and to use our abilities to seek unique, positive and inspiring adventures;
5. To embrace change as a natural part of life;
6. And finally, that we won’t be remembered by our things or our savings accounts, but by how we made other people feel.

“I want to share the same inspiration that I received for 32 years,” Philip added. “In the end, love truly does conquer all, and Brittany wanted us to know that.”

Author Philip Moser grew up on a farm in Angola, Indiana. After high school, he began working in different aspects of the grocery business, a career that continues to this day. He and his wife, Marilyn Wells, raised two incredible daughters, Camille and Brittany.  

For more information, please visit www.freeandfearlessbook.com or connect with the author on social media at https://www.facebook.com/philip.moser.73?ref=bookmarks.  A portion from the sale of each book will be donated to the National Adrenal Disease Foundation.

Resilience: A Workbook Outlines 7 Key Traits of Resilient People
 

Grand Rapids, MI, February 5, 2021 — Some individuals seem positively unsinkable, no matter how tumultuous the circumstances, while others have difficulty weathering any storm at all. What is it that makes some people bounce back more readily in the face of life’s challenges? 

Psychologist Kathryn Den Houter addresses this question and offers valuable, actionable tools in her illuminating book, Resilience: A Workbook: Powering Through Adversity to Find Happiness.

“We have a culture that demands adaptability, personal insights, and a willingness to change,” Dr. Den Houter writes. “Resilience is essential for optimum survival.”

After 25 years in private practice, Dr. Den Houter identified seven qualities of resilience that her successful clients had in common. In Part One of Resilience: A Workbook, she devotes a chapter to each of these traits, using client case studies to illustrate the ways in which these traits impact lives. She also draws comparisons to famous personalities who share these same resilient qualities. Each chapter concludes with study questions ideal for both personal introspection as well as group settings. 

Part Two converts the awareness and understanding of these resilient qualities into action, with valuable tools to help readers harness the healing power of relaxation, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive visualization, improved self-esteem and more. 

Resilience: A Workbook is intended for individuals as well as group leaders, teachers, psychologists, pastors and social workers. Special consideration is given to the role of faith in the lives of resilient individuals. 

Not only did Dr. Den Houter use her expertise as a therapist to inform her message, but she also drew upon her rich background as an educator for two decades and as a mother of four. The result is a practical, easy to understand guide that puts the power of resilience in the palm of your hand. 

Author Kathryn Den Houter has been writing novels actively since her retirement in 2013, but before that, she wrote an untold number of novels in her head. Her last novel, Abigail’s Exchange, was a winner in the Eric Hoffer writer’s contest and a semi-finalist in the Royal Palm Literary Award. She has often said and steadfastly holds to the maxim that “good stories heal.” 

Before her writing career, she had two careers that spanned 45 years. She taught in preschool, elementary school, middle school and high school before completing a doctorate in psychology, after which she developed a private practice in Grand Rapids. Her most beloved career was raising four children with her late husband, Len. 

She and her husband of 10 years, Jim, live near Grand Rapids and enjoy spending winter months in Florida.

Black History Month Feature: Illuminating New Book Profiles Life of Khallid Abdul Muhammad
 
Washington, D.C., February 5, 2021 — Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz uses his 25 years of legal expertise and activism for Black Rights to inform his new release, The Book of Khallid, which chronicles the life and times of Khallid Abdul Muhammad, a notorious legend in the Black activist movement and a militant prophet of today’s radical generation.
 
Muhammad (1948-2001) was the security chief and fiery National Spokesman for the controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Later, Muhammad ascended to become the national leader of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.   
 
He has amassed reportedly billions of online impressions and is still revered today as a Hip-Hop Icon due to his appearances on multi-platinum-selling Public Enemy and Ice Cube albums. In addition to his relationship with rap immortal Tupac Shakur, Muhammad was also featured on the latest Grammy award-winning D'Angelo album and was praised by rap heroine Lauryn Hill and “King of the South” trap artist, T.I.  
 
Muhammad’s controversial 1993 speech at Kean College in New Jersey in which he called Jews the "bloodsuckers" of the Black community and advocated for the murder of white South Africans sent shockwaves across America. Farrakhan stripped Muhammad of his position as Nation of Islam spokesman, and Muhammad became the only U.S. citizen to ever be formally condemned in a 97-0 vote by the U.S. Senate, (including Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.), the U.S. House of Representatives and the White House.

Muhammad went on to become the leader of the New Black Panther Party until his death in 2001.
 
The Book of Khallid offers a candid, insightful look into Muhammad’s life and viewpoints, and how his legacy continues to be an influence today. Decades later, speculation remains regarding the assassination attempt on Muhammad by Nation of Islam affiliate James Bess in May 1994 and Muhammad’s mysterious death in 2001. The Book of Khallid features FBI surveillance files on Muhammad.
 
Author and Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz is one of the pillars of the Black movement and is likely one of the world’s most experienced speakers on the lecture circuit regarding Black Rights. Shabazz is currently litigating some of the most high-profile cases in America involving race and justice and police abuse. In this current era of struggle, Shabazz has established a stellar career with a near-unparalleled record of accomplishment in effective organizing, lecturing and litigating. Shabazz has maintained a frontline position in the fight for justice with cutting-edge lawyering and otherwise exemplary work as a Black professional.

He is currently the National President of Black Lawyers for Justice and Black Rights Matter (www.blackrightsmatter.org) and continues to make great strides in the legal field. Throughout his career as an activist, he has maintained a Civil Rights practice and personal injury practice that serves and gives justice to victims. His successful cases have included The Million Youth March Court battles; Washington D.C. public school and jail abuse cases (Robertson and Harrington v. District of Columbia); consumer racism cases (Lamons v. Korean Grocers and Estate of Kareem Ali v. Montgomery County); and now several high-profile Federal Court cases currently fill his calendar.
Shabazz has been featured on many major television news broadcasts and in printed news outlets.

Post-Traumatic Thriving Shares Essential Elements for Authentic Healing

Los Angeles, CA, February 5, 2021 — Trauma has a way of showing up when we least expect it, and society sends many signals telling us that it’s admirable to put on a brave face and soldier on. But our grief is normal — even healthy, says world-renowned expert on disasters and trauma Dr. Randall Bell.

“The hallmark error is to continually dodge the pain. There is a time and place for avoidance. However, to heal and grow, we cannot doge the pain forever …,” he writes in his new book, Post-Traumatic Thriving: The Art, Science, & Stories of Resilience. “Suffering is our opportunity to stare our moral compass in the eye and deal with the problem in a dignified way.”

Dr. Bell undertook unprecedented research, and juxtaposes outcomes of scientific studies with stories of real people (many of them familiar) who have used their trauma as their fuel to thrive to reveal common denominators. He divides his remarkable insights into three sections: The Dive Stage, The Survive Stage and The Thrive Stage, and outlines a step-by-step process toward authentic healing.

To inspire and connect with readers who’ve experienced trauma, he shares stories of remarkable resilience, including the following:

• A deaf man with a glass eye invented the electric guitar and became a household name, remarkably wealthy and most importantly, happy. 

• A convicted murderer took responsibility for the damage he caused, graduated with honors from college, became a minister and turned around the hearts of the most hardened criminals.

• A girl born with cerebral palsy landed the world’s first starring role on national television and spoke at the White House three times.

• A woman hid in a basement for years and lost her entire family in the Holocaust. She eventually found true love and paints stunning artwork.

• The sister of a murder victim helped millions of women in toxic domestic relationships.

• A woman’s car crash resulted in an addiction to prescription drugs, a divorce, a loss of her children and a cot in a homeless shelter. She has rebuilt it all back and more.

• A man set to go to the Olympics had his hopes dashed by Jimmy Carter and went on to build a worldwide business empire.

Ultimately, Dr. Bell documents the science of happiness, as well as the individual styles and common thread that all post-traumatic thrivers have to emerge with a fulfilling life. When trauma hits, your most significant decision will be to dive, survive or thrive. If you choose to thrive, this book is for you.

As an economist, Dr. Randall Bell has consulted on more disasters on earth than anyone in history and is widely considered the world’s top authority in the field of post-traumatic thriving. His clients include the Federal Government, State Governments, International Tribunals, major corporations and homeowners. Dr. Bell believes that “the problem is not the problem — the problem is how we react to the problem.” 

Often called the “Master of Disaster,” Dr. Bell is squarely focused on authentic recovery and resilience. His research has been profiled on major television shows and featured in numerous magazines and the international media. More information can be found at www.posttraumaticthriving.com.

4 Ways to Stay Active When It's Cold Outside

It’s hard to stick to your fitness regimen during the winter months. Between short days, freezing weather, and ongoing gym closures, you have plenty of excuses to give up. If you’re not ready to quit, but you aren’t sure exactly how to keep fit during cold weather, try one of these winter workout ideas.

Bundle Up

If the weather outside is frightful, put on a down jacket and comfy scarf and head outside. You might not be able to run or ride a bicycle if the sidewalks are slippery, but a long walk can offer low-impact exercise and a reason to get out of the house. Plus, if you’re walking, you can hold onto a cup of hot cocoa without sloshing any on yourself. Try to walk during the middle of the day, when the temperature is usually highest, and look for hilly routes to keep your muscles warm and active.

Try Indoor Cardio

2020 was the year of the home gym as COVID-19 forced even the most passionate exercise enthusiasts to stay inside. Manufacturers are still recovering from record-low levels of stock. While you may not be able to find that squat rack or weight set you’ve been eyeing since March, you still have plenty of options for indoor cardio, including treadmills and exercise bikes. If you’re missing the communal aspect of exercise, give at-home spin classes a try. Performance-focused studios like Plan 7 Coaching offer high-tech class options that carefully monitor your heart rate, caloric output and V02 rates so you’ll get exactly the workout you’re looking for.

Clean Up the House

According to the American Heart Association, cold weather is no excuse for slacking on your exercise schedule. Instead, stay active around the house with aerobic exercise like vigorous cleaning, raking leaves, or shoveling snow. As long as you’re moving fast enough to keep your heart rate elevated, you can turn your chore list into an exercise session.

Throw Yourself a Dance Party

You have to get creative to stay active during the winter. Why not have a little fun and throw yourself an at-home dance party? Crank up Spotify, grab a weighted hula hoop, or just get funky on your own. Give yourself permission to let go after a long day, find a private place to work out and dance like no one can see you.

With some ingenuity and planning, you can stay active even when it's cold outside.
