A Mindful Dialogue e-book launched: proceeds to support efforts in Haiti

Dear Friends,

My good colleagues in Los Angeles have just finished a wonderful piece of work. Please read the note below. The Table of Contents is below the note and will give you an idea of the amazing list of contributors. All this for $9.99 and 100% of the proceeds go to aid in Haiti! Thanks!


Hi Ron,

I wanted to let you know that A Mindful Dialogue: A Path to Working with Stress, Pain and Difficult Emotions has launched (attached)! The EBook is 170 pages full of interviews and writings with wonderful leaders and I think it would be a fantastic companion for people searching for ways to work with their suffering.

100% of the proceeds of this book will be going to HOPE FOR HAITI which has no backend costs and distributes them among a handful of credible organizations. May this go on to ease suffering and save lives.

A favor if you are able: In order to get the word out I am trying multiple avenues. One such avenue is asking you whether you are able to post a link and/or the picture of the book (I’ve attached multiple kinds for choice) somewhere on your website, email, newsletter, facebook, and/or twitter so people have the opportunity to find this.

Here is the link where people can purchase it: http://drsgoldstein.com/EBook4Haiti.aspx. (You can also go here to just cut and paste the description of it).

Many blessings to you,

Elisha
