Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Author. New from Dr. Shefali Tsabary, the New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent, comes THE AWAKENED FAMILY: A Revolution in Parenting. She's been featured on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday and Oprah's Lifeclass. Oprah Winfrey called Dr. Shefali’s first book “the most profound book on parenting I’ve ever encountered.” In this new book, Dr. Shefali shows us that connecting with our children—showing them that our love is unconditional and not tied to external success, praise, or validation—allows them to develop their self-worth and resilience. Dr. Shefali’s revolutionary plan focuses not on how we can change our kids—but on how we can change ourselves as parents so we can become our children’s biggest supporters and resources. This book lays out a clear path to more effective, rewarding parenting, and gives parents the tools to tune into their own needs and challenges in order to better accommodate their children’s needs.

CHERYL CASONE is a reporter and anchor for the Fox Business Network, focusing on jobs, the economy, and women in the workplace. The Comeback is her first book. Karyn never intended to work full time again after leaving to raise her two children. But seven years later, when a divorce seemed imminent, she went job hunting — only to find that getting back was as daunting as climbing Mt. Everest. With no résumé, no current contacts, and no transferable skills for the jobs she was applying to, Karyn didn’t even know where to start.
