Great leaders aren't born. They're nurtured. In Peanut Butter Principles: 47 Leadership Lessons Every Parent Should Teach Their Kids, entrepreneur, speaker, author, management consultant and parent Eric Franklin has assembled a wealth of wisdom that has stuck with him like peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth gleaned from his parents, extended family; and the many other influential people in his life. Organized by topics, including The Super Self, Making Wishes Come True and The School of Life, Franklin explains how simple concepts can have lasting power to develop young leaders, including: Be thankful you don't get everything you ask for. The difference between a goal and a dream is a deadline. Your accomplishments should speak for themselves. Don't interrupt. If you don t make your own decision, someone else will make it for you. Count your blessings, not your problems. One by one, you can serve up spoonfuls of Peanut Butter Principles to the youth in your life and make a profound impact to help them grow into confident, intelligent, and successful adults and leaders who make good choices, build healthy relationships, and cultivate another generation of leaders.

Franklin’s method of using imagery in dance is displayed throughout this lavishly illustrated book, and the research from scientific and dance literature that supports Franklin’s method is detailed.

Combining scientific principles with movement and imagery exercises that are both effective and fun, this book demonstrates how to create a stronger body by toning the pelvic floor. Focusing on the biomechanics of the pelvic floor, which acts as a support for the inner organs and contains a passage for the urethra, the sex organs, and the rectum, this guide shows how the pelvic floor plays an important role in almost all movements, balance, and body posture. The exercises train the muscles and joints and improve the tone of the organs, thereby increasing energy flow, eliminating incontinence, and keeping sexual organs healthy. The mind-body techniques are used to increase awareness of this part of the body and to improve sexual stamina.

Pelvic Power: Mind/Body Exercises for Strength, Flexibility, Posture, and Balance for Men and Women

The mental technique of imagery—demonstrated, for example, when a dancer pictures a sunflower reaching toward the sun as he/she stretches upward—is thoroughly explained in this guide to daily stress-relieving routines. Movement, coordination, flexibility, and posture are discussed as external characteristics that can be improved significantly with a strong inner focus, and the same conclusion is reached in chapters on the benefits of good mental health for circulation, breathing, and even individual body cells. Practical advice proceeds from this background information, including how to choose and use an assortment of personal mental images, how to use tricks such as "mental recycling," and how to set up an imagined "portable fitness studio" during stress-inducing dead time waiting in line, climbing stairs, sitting in an airplane seat, talking on the telephone, or running the vacuum cleaner.

Inner Focus, Outer Strength: Using Imagery and Exercise for Health, Strength and Beauty

Emphasizing lifestyle and mental attitude rather than surgery, creams, or pills, this fantastic manual is the key to staying young through mental stimulation, self-talk, setting of goals, motivation, and relaxation. The revolutionary Franklin Method of health proposes that living healthily is mostly a question of habits and that these habits are mirrored in the quality of our thoughts and in our daily life. Focusing on methods of concentration, measured breathing, and the power of imagination, this program provides a selection of different mental techniques from the Franklin Method designed to produce results that can be seen and felt in only 10 days. More importantly, when combined with a balanced diet, these exercises can awaken even the sleepiest of minds to the possibility of a longer and more fulfilling life.
