Birth of a Unicorn

Description Birth of a Unicorn by Heather Wilde


Birth of a Unicorn: Six Basic Steps to Success is the story of what it takes to found a billion-dollar company — also known as a unicorn. It’s told from the perspective of a founding employee, and shows the years and years of emotional strain, stress and dedication that building a successful company takes — and a framework to follow if you’d like to try it yourself.

In this book, you’ll find the true story behind one of Silicon Valley’s famous companies on its rise to the top. Peek behind the curtain as you see the highs and lows from an insider perspective, on the roller coaster that is the start-up life. What emerges is a lasting friendship, a billion-dollar company, and an understandable framework of success for you to replicate.

 My Thoughts Birth of a Unicorn by Heather Wilde

‘Birth of a Unicorn: Six Basic Steps to Success,’ by Heather Wilde is a blend of two beautiful worlds: memoir and self-help guide.

Wilde and her husband, Leon are two of the foundational members of a team that is responsible for Evernote, a note-taking app that has become wildly successful in recent years, and now has a user base of over 200 million people worldwide. But how did they do it? How does anyone take an idea in their head and turn it into a billion-dollar company?

Well, before Evernote, Wilde already had some experience with this, having worked on teams at several other successful start ups, including a security company called Corestreet, that worked with the government.

In order to figure out the steps that lead to Wilde’s success, you must read this book and really pay attention, not just to her story but to her advice. I really enjoyed every tidbit of wisdom in this book, because it seemed like it was coming from a good place and a really smart person who was very experienced with this industry.

At the end of the book, there is an ‘assessment’ or a little quiz that helps you determine what things matter most to you in life and how you can help fulfill those needs to manage your life. This is all part of Wilde’s emphasis in the book of balancing your work life and personal life in harmony, and how to make sure that one doesn’t take too much from the other. definitely something I personally need to work on! Personal life and self-care are essential to becoming a success in any industry that you choose and Wilde’s understanding of that really makes this book something special.

I can see myself thinking about this one for a long time and referring back to it.   I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good, inspiring read!

The Desire Factor

Description Desire Factor by Christy Whitman

There is no limit to the amount of happiness that we, as human beings, can experience. There is no limit to how much love, laughter, excitement, or satisfaction we can feel. This universe is unendingly abundant, which means that it has the ability to yield to us whatever experiences we desire. Why, then, do some people manifest their desires so fluidly and naturally, while others are living lives of struggle, mediocrity, or quiet desperation?

Hard work alone does not guarantee a positive result.  In fact, pushing forward with determination and effort when things are not going as planned usually only makes a bad situation worse.  Energy – not action – is the source of all manifested things, and The Desire Factor is the definitive guide to achieving energy mastery.

The Desire Factor provides one of the most current, comprehensive, and easy to apply explorations into the realm of energy, and shows readers how – by purposefully calibrating the energetic frequency of their dominant thoughts, moods and expectations – they can bring any desire into physical form.

The book is built around 7 universal principles, each of which assists readers in connecting with and deliberately harnessing the divine energy stream that sources all things. These are:

  • The Principle of Alignment
  • The Principle of Focus
  • The Principle of Joyful Expectancy
  • The Principle of Having
  • The Principle of Loving
  • The Principle of Surrender
  • The Principle of Action

Each principle builds upon the last one, and together, they provide a clear path – not just toward the manifestation of objects, experiences and conditions you desire to create in each important area of your life – but toward the personal evolution your desires are guiding you to embrace.

My Thoughts Desire Factor by Christy Whitman

Guest Review by Mark S.

This book could almost be considered a guidebook to the universe. ‘The Desire Factor: How to Embrace Your Materialistic Nature to Reclaim Your Full Spiritual Power,’ is a self-help book with a twist– and that twist involves teaching you how to help yourself with tools that you already have.

Courtesy of author Christy Whitman, ‘The Desire Factor’ consists of seven main chapters, each one teaching a different principal of how to make your desires work for you.

Say you see a beautiful new car and you decide that you want it but you know that there is no way you can afford it. Most of us would probably just forget about it, but maybe there is another way.

In the beginning of the book, Whitman outlines tells a story about that scenario happening to her, with a designer purse, but she did not forget about it. Instead, she started thinking, and she quickly realized that she couldn’t imagine putting a pack of cigarettes inside of a beautiful designer purse, so if she wanted the purse, she would have to quit smoking. Eventually, Whitman returned for the purse but this time she was a successful business woman.

These kinds of anecdotes typify the style of writing that Whitman expertly executes in this guide. Even if you aren’t interested in her advice, this book is worth the read for her writing which is top notch.

Going through this book I highlighted so many sentences in my notes that I ended up with huge blocks of highlighted text. There are so many little nuggets of wisdom to take away!

This book will spark creativity and inspiration for anyone that reads it and will make the universe seem just a little bit smaller and a little bit more friendly to you. Will I get the car? No, I think I need to start smaller to use Whitman’s advice, at least to start.  I did just get a new Mazda 3 sports edition though.

I accepted the e-book for my honest thoughts.

Addicted Child

Description Addicted Child by Richard Capriola


The Addicted Child is a resource for parents. It addresses adolescent substance abuse. Readers learn the extent of adolescent substance abuse in America, how drugs impact the teen brain, warning signs every family should know about, assessments and tests important for a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis, how eating disorders and self-injury can accompany substance abuse, how to recognize street drugs being used by teens, and resources to help identify treatment options.

Parents will learn from Richard Capriola, a mental health and addictions counselor, the importance of comprehensive assessments – and what to look for in a counselor to know you’re getting the right help.

My Thoughts Addicted Child by Richard Capriola

”The Addicted Child: A Parent’s Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse,” is not just a self-help guide but a manual for helping the ones you love the most. If you begin to suspect that your child is addicted to drugs, it can be difficult to know where to turn next. Of course, you want to get help for your child, but where do you even start?

The author of this book, Richard Capriola wants to answer that question is a short, easy-to-read guide that will leave you with a plan of action and some peace of mind. Every page of this book contains valuable information that can help you get your child back on a better path and steer them away from an addiction.

Of course, young people are the most vulnerable to addiction. Between peer pressure and the fact that their brains are not yet done developing, it is easy for them to fall prey to a drug that might make them think they are better, stronger or cooler. In this book, Capriola, who is a mental health and addiction counselor, clearly outlines basic steps to take if you suspect that your child may be addicted to a drug.

From marijuana to harder drugs, there are so many different types of drugs to get addicted to and Capriola outlines every one in stunning detail that informs the reader while also making sure not to bore with too much information. This book is a simple and quick read for parents that might not have the time to delve into anything too long.

As a mostly retired social worker in adult mental health myself, I think that this book could be a light in the darkness to those that need it most and a helping hand to parents everywhere. Anyone can make bad decisions, but, as the book says, it doesn’t have to be a lifelong mistake.

I will certainly recommend ‘The Addicted Child’ to my colleagues who work with parents and children! I give it 5 stars.

I received the ebook for my honest opinion.
