New Year: Are New Year's Resolutions a Waste of Time?
John Assaraf
CEO
NeuroGym
"New Year's resolutions are a waste of time for most people. Why?
Because they are not backed by the right mental and emotional
preparation and conditioning. Relying upon willpower, resolve, and
persistence is absolutely the worst way to achieve your new goals.
These things are controlled by your conscious mind, which is
responsible for only about 2-5 percent of your day-to-day actions
and perceptions. If you truly want to make permanent changes in
your life, it takes about 15 minutes a day of mental retraining for
30 to 60 days. The more you do this, the faster you'll see results.
The good news is that you can't get a brain hernia if you overdo
it. The bottom line is this: When you are interested in your
success, you'll do what's convenient. On the other hand, when you
are committed to your success, you'll do whatever it takes."
Assaraf is a serial entrepreneur, brain researcher, and CEO of
NeuroGym. In the last 25 years, he has grown five
multi-million-dollar companies in real estate, internet software,
brain research, and life and business coaching and consulting. He
is the author of two New York Times
best-selling books: "Having It All" and "The Answer." His brand-new
book is called "Innercise: The New Science to Unlock Your Brain's
Hidden Power" (Waterside Press, 2018). Assaraf has made frequent
appearances on Larry King Live and has been featured in eight
films, including the blockbuster smash hit "The Secret," and
"Quest for Success" with Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama. He is one of
the leading behavioral and mindset experts in the world, with a
unique ability to help people release the mental and emotional
obstacles that prevent them from achieving their very best in life
and business. Assaraf is a vegan who creates and eats his own hot
sauces, meditates daily, and exercises six days a week. He loves
skiing, traveling, taking cooking classes, listening to the Bee
Gees and Enigma, and being a dad, husband, and mentor.

New Year: Stress-Proof Your Health in 2019
Dr. Bradley Nelson
Holistic Physician and Author
"Stress is nothing but an imbalance of energy, partly conscious and
partly subconscious. The energy that you spend focusing on
negativity and fear is directly proportional to your stress level.
Remnants of trauma that have become stuck in the body -- trapped
emotions -- lead us to unconsciously choose certain feelings,
thoughts, and expectations. Learning energy healing techniques can
lower your stress level by quickly getting straight to the
underlying causes of negative emotional choices and nagging,
negative thoughts."
Dr. Nelson is a holistic chiropractic physician, a medical
intuitive, and one of the world's foremost experts in the emerging
fields of bioenergetic medicine and energy psychology. His
bestselling book, "The Emotion Code," is helping people all over
the world to improve their lives easily and quickly. Users of "The
Emotion Code" have found freedom from emotional problems such as
depression and anxiety, as well as physical problems including
fatigue, pain and disease. A key element of The Emotion Code is
removing emotional energies that have clustered around the heart,
interfering with one's ability to find love and success. Dr. Nelson
has coined this cluster of emotions the "Heart-Wall," and it has
been called "the most important discovery in the history of energy
medicine." He has trained thousands of practitioners worldwide to
help people overcome unresolved anger, depression, anxiety,
loneliness and other negative emotions and the physical symptoms
associated with them.

New Year: Have a Happier 2019 With Mindfulness
Julie Potiker
Author, Mindfulness Expert
Mindful Methods for Life
"This year, let mindfulness help you become more resilient. Feel
your frustration or disappointment or whatever it is that comes up
for you, then turn to one of your mindfulness tools to comfort
yourself, as you would comfort a dear friend. You are that dear
friend! You can enjoy the present more without ruminating on the
past or worrying as much about the future."
Potiker, an author and mindfulness expert, is an attorney who began
her serious study and investigation of mindfulness after graduating
from the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program at the
University of California, San Diego.
She was trained by Kristin Neff,
Christopher Germer and UCSD as a
Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher. She went on to study with
Rick Hanson, becoming a graduate of
his Positive Neuroplasticity Training Professional Course. Potiker
also completed Brené Brown's Living
Brave Semester. Now, she shares these and other mindfulness
techniques with the world through her Mindful Methods for Life
trainings and her new book, "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't Have
To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos." She
holds a B.G.S. from the University of
Michigan and a J.D. from George
Washington University.

New Year: 6 Keys to Making Money Resolutions Stick
Pamela Yellen
President
Bank On Yourself
"1) Understand that real, permanent change is usually driven by
your own desire, rather than outside pressure. 2) Enlist allies to
help you stay on track. An ally – whether a professional for hire,
a friend, or other mentor – can help you reinforce your commitment.
3) Set incentives and consequences. When you make your commitment
binding, you increase your chances of success. Plus, it's fun to
reward yourself when you reach a goal! 4) Don't set yourself up for
failure by insisting on an all-or-nothing change. This is one of
the main reasons people fail at keeping New Year's resolutions or
achieving other goals. Don't fall victim to the voice in your head
that says 'You blew it.' 5) Remind yourself of your goals.
Sometimes all it takes to stay on track is to pause and consider
whether what you about to buy is more important than your goal. One
of my favorite ways to do this is to wrap my charge cards in a
picture or a few words describing my goals. Every time I take out a
credit card, I'm reminded of why I am saving. 6) Skip the pity
party when you fall short. Most successful New Year's goal-setters
faltered for five consecutive years or even more before they ever
succeeded. Those who rebound the fastest are the ones who set aside
emotional thinking and formulate a plan to get back on track."
Yellen is a financial investigator and the author of two
New York Times best-selling books,
including her latest, "The Bank on Yourself Revolution: Fire Your
Banker, Bypass Wall Street, and Take Control of Your Own Financial
Future." Yellen investigated more than 450 financial strategies
seeking an alternative to the risk and volatility of stocks and
other investments, which led her to a time-tested, predictable
method of growing wealth now used by more than 500,000
Americans.

New Year: In 2019, Join the Responsible Investing Movement
Michael Yorba
CEO
WFN1.com
"These days, people are picking out cultures in companies that are
developed by the C-suite management team that align with their
values. Do you give charitably to causes for cancer or cancer
research? Are you participating in healthy employees by providing
them clean water in their office instead of making them drink tap
water? Are you concerned about women's rights? People are making
investing decisions based on their own ethics, their own morals,
and their own beliefs."
An expert in thought leadership for entrepreneurs, Yorba pioneered
news networks for business as president and CEO of WFN1.com, a
multimedia broadcast network featuring radio, television, and
online distribution. As host of CEO Money, a podcast with an
audience of more than 5 million people worldwide, he explores how
CEOs and entrepreneurs are disrupting business and changing the
world.

An Unexpectedly Delightful Top 3 Paris Must-See List
David Sheppe
Program Leader
American Friends for the Preservation of Saint Germain des Prés
"1) Le Pont de Bir-Hakeim: This
beautiful steel bridge crosses the Seine River in Paris, offering perhaps the best view of the
Eiffel Tower in the city (which also makes this one of the top
Parisian wedding-photo locales). You can drive over the bridge, but
more interestingly, you can also traverse it by foot on the
pedestrian level and take your time enjoying the spectacular views.
As a fun cultural side note, the bridge is featured in the
beginning of the film 'Inception' when Leonardo DiCaprio's character Dom teaches
Ariadne (played by Ellen Page) how
to build dreams. 2) Le Marché de Belleville: Who doesn't love an outdoor
market, especially when traveling abroad? Le Marché de Belleville farmers market is a truly local
Parisian experience, with affordable fresh foods and prepared meals
as well as flea-market style wares from multicultural vendors. 3)
Église Saint Germain des Prés: The church at Saint Germain des Prés
is 15 centuries old -- the oldest church in Paris -- and features stunningly beautiful and
intricate murals and stonework. Nearly torn down after the French
Revolution, the church was saved by famed author Victor Hugo ('Les Misérables,' 'The Hunchback of
Notre-Dame'), among others. It has
influenced and shaped people, places, and ideas throughout history,
including the famous philosopher Descartes, and the nearby Sorbonne
University students and teachers. Welcoming to locals and tourists,
religious and secular alike, the church invites all to explore its
rich history and learn about current efforts to preserve this
cultural icon."
Sheppe has enjoyed a long career in international banking and now
works as a financial and risk management consultant. It was while
living in Paris in the 1980s that
he first took an interest in the church of Saint Germain des Prés,
and he has been a frequent visitor ever since. From 2013 to 2016,
he was once again a Paris
resident, and it was then that he became acquainted with the work
of the "Fonds de Dotation," the Paris-based fundraising arm for renovating the
church. Following his return to the U.S. in 2016, Sheppe did
volunteer work for the U.S.-based American Friends for the
Preservation of Saint Germain des Prés, before joining its Board in
2017. He is now leading the charge on the current Adopt A Saint
Germain Star campaign in the United
States. Sheppe is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Cornell
University. He resides in southwest Connecticut.

The Key to Compassion in the Digital Age? Pets
Carol Novello
President
Mutual Rescue
"Animals, for those of us who resonate with them, are an entry
point to living in the moment. And in the face of technology and
the multitude of devices that are constantly pulling us out of the
present -- and out of our lives -- dogs and cats are one of the few
ways we can easily be pulled back in."
Novello is the founder of Mutual Rescue, a national initiative that
highlights the life-changing power of human-animal relationships.
The initiative's first short film, "Eric & Peety," went viral
around the world with almost 100 million views, prompting an influx
of submissions to be considered for inclusion in the ongoing Mutual
Rescue film series. A former senior software executive at Intuit,
Novello earned her MBA from Harvard Business
School and is proud to include three rescue animals in her
family: a German Shepherd named Tess and two cats, Herbie and
Bode.
