Book Promotion for Chicken Soup for the Soul and Harvard Medical School–a deliciously healthy combination!

Newman Communications is excited to once again to provide book promotion and publicity services for the global best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series. To kick things off, Newman will launch a national book promotion radio tour for the four new Chicken Soup for the Soul titles.

Chicken Soup for the Soul Health, a new imprint of Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC, publisher of the series and a world leader in life improvement, and Harvard Medical School, one of the world’s most respected medical institutions, has announced a first-of–its-kind collaboration for a new health and wellness book series for readers who want to get serious about their physical and mental wellbeing.

The first four books in the series will focus on a popular health topic, combining the inspiration and support of new stories written especially for these books with accessible, life-changing medical information from top Harvard Medical School doctors.

“Doctors often use stories as a way to motivate and educate their patients and this series will allow us to combine our latest medical advice with real stories from real people to help readers live healthier lives,” said Harvard Health Publications’ Chief Editor of Books Dr. Julie Silver. “Chicken Soup for the Soul is the perfect partner for us on this project because their stories are a wonderful source of hope, inspiration, and great advice—and they complement the useful medical information that we are providing in these books.”

The initial four titles in the series include:

• Chicken Soup for the Soul: Boost Your Brain Power! by top neurologist Dr. Marie Pasinski, with Liz Neporent (May 2012 ; 978-1-935096-86-3)

• Chicken Soup for the Soul: Say Hello to a Better Body! by respected internist Dr. Suzanne Koven (May 2012; 978-1-935096-89-4)

“Since 1993 Chicken Soup for the Soul has focused on improving lives by providing inspiration, wellness and hope around the world and this series is another extension of that mission,” said William J. Rouhana, Jr., Chairman & CEO of Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC. “We are excited to be working with Harvard Medical School and know that our readers will benefit from their cutting-edge health advice.”

Doctor, Your Patient Will See You Now

Author: Steven Z. Kussin, M.D.

Health columns in newspapers, wellness tips on television and countless books on the medical profession attest to the fact that a large and increasing number of people understand that health literacy is as important to living longer lives as is living a healthy life style. But while there are innumerable books that inform readers about medical conditions, few offer the more important lesson about medical decision-making. Many volumes warn the public about the dangers of the healthcare system but curiously few describe how they can be avoided using an insider’s perspective. It is for these reasons that Dr. Steven Kussin decided to turn to Newman Communications for a strong book publicity campaign for his new book, Doctor, Your Patient Will See you Now. Kussin’s passion for patient advocacy developed when he became the patient after a horrible accident.

Newman was able to present Kussin’s information to the public with a strong media book publicity tour that gave his book exposure via such publications as  Woman’s Day Magazine, The New York Times, Yahoo! Shine,
About.com, and many more.  Our radio publicity team took the track and provided tremendous book promotion opportunities by securing  Sirius XM Radio Doctor’s Network, Voice America Radio, and many local stations across the country.

Doctor, Your Patient Will See You Now (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.) offers knowledge and advice on what Kussin calls “patienthood” -the sum of talents, attitudes and knowledge that precede and rise above immediate concerns or ailments. It enables people to become partners rather than third parties in their own care. It allows them to be part of the equation rather than the passive result of others’ calculations.

Patients increasingly and correctly feel that they are on their own in a bewildering, impersonal, profit driven, perilous medical system.   Hospitals are foreign terrain. Doctor, Your Patient Will See You Now is a guide book allowing readers to become skilled in healthcare’s customs, dialects and landscape.

About the Author:
Steven Z. Kussin, M.D. was raised in a medical family of independent physicians. From them he learned the lessons that enabled him to become his patients’ confidant and advocate. He attended Columbia University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he also later served as an assistant professor of clinical medicine.  Dr. Kussin has also opened a consultancy dedicated to medical advocacy in the service of his adopted city of Utica, New York and the central New York region.

The successful book publicity campaign for Dr. Steven Kussin and Doctor, Your Patient Will See You Now helped patient’s learn ways to speak with their physicians and created visibility for this important message.

ADHD Effect on Marriage

Author: Melissa Orlov
Publisher: Specialty Press

The ADHD Effect On Marriage

Melissa Orlov wanted to get her message across to not just people with ADHD but to all involved in a relationship.  Bringing her message to us for a Print and TV Book Publicity Tour,  Newman was able to bring Melissa’s expertise to such national exposure as The Today Show , The New York Times , The Boston Globe, CNN’s American Morning and many more.

Most couples who have ADHD affecting their marriages have no idea why they are so unhappy.  They just know that they have tried hard to make things better, and are intensely frustrated that nothing seems to work.  Because they are unaware that ADHD is playing a role, couples in these relationships often pick exactly the wrong approaches to solving their marital problems – approaches that would make sense for most couples, but not when one or both partners has ADHD.  But here’s the good news.  Once couples understand the patterns that ADHD introduces into a relationship they can turn their marriage around.

The ADHD Effect on Marriage, Understand and Rebuild Your Relationship in Six Steps isn’t about a “miracle cure,” but about providing the knowledge and tools couples need to reshape their relationship into the loving, supportive, exciting partnership they once envisioned.

Author Melissa Orlov takes a personal interest in her topic as both her husband and her daughter were diagnosed with ADHD.  After 20 +  years, her marriage is intact and her daughter is doing great!

Our Book Publicity Campaign continues with Melissa with an additional  article placed  on sheknows.com just in time for summer romance.

About the Author:

Melissa Orlov is one of the top experts in how ADHD affects relationships and has been writing publicly about the topic since 2007.  She writes the “Your Marriage” column for ADDitude Magazine, is the lead writer on the blog “Thoughts on ADHD and Marriage” at www.adhdmarriage.com, and is a contributing author of the book, Married to Distraction, with Dr. Ned Hallowell and Sue George Hallowell, LICSW. When not writing, Ms. Orlov consults with ADHD-affected couples from around the world, helping them rebalance their relationships and learn to thrive.

Newman Communications and Melissa Orlov continue their  partnership with a book publicity campaign that alerts both the media and general consumer on the importance of treatment for ADHD and help with relationships in general.

It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me!

Author: Peter Baksa
Publisher: Intelegance

Peter Baksa : It's None of My Business What You Think of Me

Newman Communication’s introduced Peter Baksa’s previous book title, Point of Power, to the world with a book tour that saw the author featured on national radio networks such as Lifestyle Talk Radio and the Cable Radio Network. He appeared on radio stations all over the country from East (WHUD, New York, NY) to West (KKNW, Seattle, WA). Now, Peter Baksa has returned for a new book publicity campaign for his latest book, It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me!. Already, Peter has appeared on multiple national radio networks, including Voice of America and Money Maters. Additionally, his work has been highlighted in Tony Robins’ “Breakthrough: The Power of Crisis” section of the Huffington Post and in an interview with the website GetInspired.

About the Book:

Throughout our lives, we are constantly influenced by factors that surround us. We unknowingly make “life contracts” with parents, friends, teachers, employers, and the media, amongst other influences. “Life is a series of contracts,” Peter Baksa writes in It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me, “…these contracts can make you poor, sad, and unhealthy, if they are kept.” They work against free will and are obstructions to fulfillment; thrown up by the ego. “Oftentimes, we’re our own worst enemy,” says Baksa.

In his interview with GetInspired, Baksa states “I believe we have two choices; one is to come from a place of ego, and oftentimes ego is fear, or we have a choice to come from inspiration…which means we’re going to approach a life situation from a point of love, trust, and faith.” It’s None of My Business What You Think of Me! teaches the reader how to approach life in this way. By noticing these contracts, one is able to cancel or rewrite them in order to free yourself, and live the life you have wanted for so long.

About the Author:

Peter Baksa recieved several advanced degrees from the University of Illinois, where he later worked as a visiting professor and lecturer. In addition to writing books and speaking to audiences around the country, Peter has worked with many charities and creates music and art. He is passionate about his writing, and feels that his work can lead to real change. Ultimately, Peter says, “I’m just excited to share through my books.”

Intend, Declare, Detach

The Point of Power

Author, Peter Baksa, has spent the past decade researching ancient text and interviewing people from various walks of life to see how they developed their belief systems in regard to God, Politics and Nutrition.  The responses he received were the inspiration for The Point of Power

No matter what your life situation is, you can harness the natural laws of the universe, as indicated by scientific research , to manifest your desires. The Point of Power weaves a fabric of these theories into a message that will change your life forever.

The Point of Power guides you to:

• Intend:       Set an intention to think positive thoughts
• Declare:   State a plan and align your behaviors
• Detach:     Allow the universe to do its thing

The Point of Power teaches you how to engage the same forces that creates worlds to manifest the life you desire.  The author points to leading contemporary research in quantum physics to support his theories on lifestyle design and creation.  He shows the reader how the universe functions and how we interact with it to create our reality in the natural.  He also illustrates how we stand in the way of our successes and life goals and what we need to do to get out of the way and allow the universe to do it’s thing.

The Point of Power ties together the science of quantum physics with the evolution of the human being to show how we are in total control of our life experience through manipulation of our thoughts.
