Whether you're employed, run a small or large company, retired, a student, or in between jobs, Obamacare will impact you (if it hasn't already). Wondering what Obamacare—the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—really means and how much it affect you and your loved ones? You're in good company! Although the first open enrollment period for plans within the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges is now in the history books, Obamacare for the GENIUS explains—in an informal, down-to-earth, upbeat style—how you and your loved ones will be affected by this landmark legislation now and in the years to come. Since this is a For the GENIUS book, it won't insult your intelligence by pandering to the strong feelings that readers are likely to have about Obamacare, whether you're for it, against it, or somewhere in the middle, or you simply don't yet know enough to have a firm opinion. In a nonpartisan approach, the author explores the topic in the full context that gave rise to the Affordable Care Act and how it's transforming the health care landscape. You will have a fuller appreciation for how you will be impacted now and in years to come, and you will learn key strategies to make the right decisions that impact the health care you and your loved ones receive. Obamacare for the GENIUS is written by Stacie Harting Marsh, a policy analyst and writer in the health care industry. She walks you through key considerations within the context of where you live; your income, age, and gender; your physical, mental, and oral health status; and other key considerations. She also uncovers special considerations for small business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. Marsh credits her own experience as a consumer and small business owner as the impetus for writing a book about Obamacare. "I needed a book like this to understand the basics and the complexities of this massive legislation. I hope this book will fill a knowledge gap for consumers in America," says Marsh. For the GENIUS Press is an imprint of CharityChannel LLC, a community of nonprofit professionals that has been active for over twenty years. GENIUS books are written as comprehensive guides to complex subjects for beginners as well as for those seeking a refresher. To learn more, visit forthegenius.com. Although we have a little fun with the series name "For the GENIUS," you don't have to be a genius to read this or any of our GENIUS books. But you'll sure be smarter once you do!(tm)

Caregiving is a universal concern today. Sooner or later, you will be called to care for a loved one. An aging parent. An ill spouse, partner, friend, or child. And ultimately, you, too, will need additional care. Are you prepared to provide care? To receive care? These are important questions to consider before the caregiving crisis lands on your front porch. Caregiving for the GENIUS offers you the motivation, inspiration, and education necessary to be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to caregiving. Prepare to care—pure genius! If you are to engage in the journey of caregiving in life-giving ways for all concerned, you must recognize caregiving as more than a logistical challenge. You need to understand caregiving from the inside out. What does it feel like to be a caregiver or care receiver? How do your emotions and relationships inform and influence the journey? What does it mean to give care and to receive care? These are the types of questions that probe the heart and soul of caregiving. The answers to these questions are reflective of your ability or inability to prepare to care. Consequently, Caregiving for the GENIUS focuses on the emotional, spiritual, and relational aspects of caring. Since this is a For the GENIUS book, it is down-to-earth and pragmatic. It is written in a caring, conversational style that you'll instantly connect with. You'll find the many stories and sidebars sprinkled throughout especially helpful and relevant. For the GENIUS books are written as comprehensive guides to complex subjects for beginners as well as for those seeking a refresher. You don't have to be a genius to read one, but you'll sure be smarter once you do!

They know that, despite the title, our books are for pretty much everyone, not just “Einsteins”—though even some Einsteins will enjoy our books, too! We celebrate the fact that our readers are inspired to learn a subject enough to pick up one of our books, which in turn inspires us to ensure, through plenty of perspiration at every step, excellence in producing them. Pure genius!

Need to take the next step in your recovery from abuse or an alcoholic family? Ready to try sound, research-based alternative techniques? In Alternative Healing Beyond Recovery for the Genius you will find the answers you need! __________________________ Let's end abuse! This book moves the cause to fast forward. Read and reap the tremendous insights. —Mark Victor Hanson, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul __________________________ This book is a treasure chest of simple healing exercises and Life Skills activities that help you, the survivor of abuse and/or an alcoholic family, to release old feelings, repair emotional hurts, and learn missing Life Skills. Many adult children of alcoholics and survivors of abuse--and there are more than 64 million in this country alone—continue to repeat their dysfunctional family patterns in failed marriages and relationships; or replay abuse in their jobs; or have addictions to cover up pain; or they allow others to use them; or have blind spots so they cannot see their own dysfunctional patterns. And, some survivors have all of these problems and more. Alternative Healing Beyond Recovery for the Genius offers comprehensive solutions to many of the issues that survivors face. First the book gives the reader the Raiguel Life Skills Inventory, one-hundred research-based items, that clearly state the issues. Taking the quiz can be very helpful articulating the issues that have been in the background but unspoken for years. Some of those Life Skills are: <ul>
<li>Building Trust</li> <li>Being in the Body</li> <li>Expressing Emotions: Having Fun</li> <li>Expressing Needs</li> <li>Managing Anger Appropriately</li> <li>Managing Your Addictions</li> <li>Overcoming Blinds Spots</li> <li>Not Overhelping</li> <li>Not Being Perfect</li> <li>Not Being Used</li> <li>Setting Goals and Managing Money.</li> </ul>
Raiguel also includes many guided visualizations, as well as other alternative techniques, she has used for years in her clinical practice with clients that are powerful and effective for healing the past. Raiguel also explains Life Skills exercises that the reader can do to strengthen those skills. __________________________ This book is a powerful tool whether used as a companion to therapy or by individual survivors of abuse. —Dr. John J. Kohut, Psychiatrist __________________________ Raiguel tells stories of Life Skills graduates who have changed their patterns, learned missing skills and reinvented their abusive pasts and are living abusive-free lives. She began her Life Skills work in New York City thirty years ago with a small group. Those survivors were the first Life Skills class lasting six months. The positive results in participants' lives were so impressive that she began training other professionals including New York City Child Protective Service workers, Texas Parents' Anonymous, and No to Abuse in rural Nevada. Because the Life Skills curriculum is so simple not only professionals but paraprofessionals have learned her work and are teaching it to their clients and groups. Written in a warm, friendly, yet professional manner, Raiguel outlines her techniques so survivors can heal and teach themselves or counselors can use her book as a companion to therapy. The book is a stand-alone curriculum for leading Life Skills groups or working with individuals. All these elements make Alternative Healing Beyond Recovery for the Genius a crucial part of anyone's recovery.
