Mind Candy
Your mind is a powerful tool that will either get you moving or have you stagnate in one position for a long time. How do you ensure that you take the right path in life and make weighty decisions? Does your general perspective of life influence your lifestyle? How does your subconscious mind control you, and what can you do about things you are not in command of? In Mind Candy: The Code to Program your subconscious Mind to Achieve Any Goal, Felicia Pizzonia takes the reader on a commanding journey of the subconscious mind. The author writes about mental wellness, setting and achieving goals, having a different view of things, embracing what is beneficial, and dealing with obstacles along the way; It all starts with your mind before anything else.
Even before getting to the main content, the reader is welcomed with an excellent foreword from Dr. John Demartini. This forward was crucial as it prepares the reader for the author’s discussion. From the foreword, my main lesson was self-discovery and self-love. I like that Dr. Demartini briefly wrote about the author and shared gems about living a rewarding life. The first chapter of the book felt like a continuation of the foreword. I appreciate Felicia Pizzonia for starting with an easy-to-digest topic; success. In this chapter, the author extensively writes about how to achieve success and be a winner in all you do. The points the author gives are realistic and level-headed.
Each of the topics Felicia Pizzonia wrote about was critical. From discussions about the conscious mind, receiving information, analyzing situations, changing one’s mindset, learning from experiences, setting goals, creating habits, taking care of your mind, body, and soul, and personal growth, among others, Felicia Pizzonia has advice on everything one needs for their well being and personal growth. One thing you are assured after reading this inspirational book is that you will expand your brain capacity and accomplish your goals within a set time.
I enjoyed Felicia Pizzonia’s writing and the phrases she used to enable the reader to comprehend the discussion. One of my favorite quotes from the book is, “Your purpose isn’t meant to be another’s, just as their purpose isn’t meant to be yours.” The laidback tone in the book, arrangement of the chapters, separation of the various topics, and the warm and friendly language used by Felicia Pizzonia is encouraging. As a reader, you get pleasure from reading the book as you take hold of the knowledge being shared.
Mind Candy: The Code to Program Your subconscious Mind to Achieve Any Goal is the perfect book for you if you want to change how you view life, explore a bit of the liberal side and learn about your conscious mind. This is a wonderful book for young adults who are thinking about college and career paths and older adults who want to improve their own lives and take control of their futures.

SPORT: A STAGE FOR LIFE
In Sport: A Stage for Life: How To Connect With the Touchstones of Elite Performance And Personal Fulfillment, readers are immersed in the world of Water Polo and other sports as the authors share interesting facts, aspects, and tips about their favorite sports and others. Cristiana Pinciroli and Pedro Pinciroli have written an intriguing and enlightening book that is relevant in both the world of sports and real life. Both father and daughter were professional water polo players who participated in major leagues and big tournaments worldwide. Cristiana played in Italy and captained the Brazilian national team for more than a decade, while her father, Pedro, represented Brazil at two Olympics, among other major sports events. As you read about the stories of these two prolific sports icons, you realize that sports are not just for fun, as they also play a critical role in the wellness of society.
I like how Cristiana starts the book. The author familiarizes the reader with her story, writing about her father’s achievements and how her inspiration for sports was born. Cristiana Pinciroli is an engaging author. Her writing gives one a sense of realization. When talking about her background and family, Cristiana makes the reader feel every moment of her writing. She chronicles funny stories and witty tales and is authentic in her writing. Cristiana’s love for the game is moving, and her dedication and passion are admirable. When writing about water polo, the author ensures that even readers that are not familiar with the game grasp how it is played. The readers get it all from the rules, how the scores are counted, training, and tips on being a good player and playing in big matches.
Sport: A Stage for Life is well written, and one of my favorite things in the book is the historical tidbits. There is a ton to learn about Latin America and the western world and the changes that have been happening over the years, whether in politics, sports, economic changes, and social transformations. One can draw many lessons from the authors’ lives and other sports professionals discussed in the book; endurance and competitiveness are some of the greatest elements of a great sportsman or sportswoman. Practice every chance you get and build your confidence with every game. Both big and small games are important, as there is something to learn.
Sport: A Stage for Life is an inspirational self-help book that gives readers insight into making personal transformations. This well-written book has 12 chapters that take you through the ins and outs of sports and enlighten you on life hacks. The authors may have written about sports, but shared lessons can help the reader in their day-to-day activities. Whether focusing on health, discipline, setting goals, being spirited, or following your dream, Cristiana and Pedro Pinciroli have tips that will help you elevate your mindset and whole being.

Maximize Their Success In Life
How To Be Successful In Life helps readers discover their Unique Success Power and shows them how to use it to achieve greater success in their life. Why was this an important book for you to write?
I wanted to share the most valuable lessons I have learned in life with other people who might benefit from this knowledge and wisdom. I have worked with hundreds of business and individual clients for more than 40 years and observed that many of them did not know their unique strengths (a.k.a. success power), so they were sometimes frustrated and sometimes underperforming as a result. I would like to help all readers minimize their frustration and maximize their success in life. This book is also driven in part by my faith which teaches, “Love on another” and “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”
What is the biggest obstacle that people face in discovering their Unique Success Power?
Many people view personality assessment tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the VIA Character assessment as interesting tools when they encounter them, but very very few integrate their unique personality and character into their life’s work and success journey. Even reviewers of this book have said, “I may go back and take those tests later” perhaps viewing a test as something they might be graded on. Although we do not call any of these assessment tools “tests,” because there are no right or wrong answers, still many people perceive them this way. Instead they should think of them as “power tools” that can help them be more successful in life, happier and more fulfilled.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
- Understanding and managing the 4 internal and 5 external success factors which enable you to create your own Unique Success Power System.
- How to turn visions and goals into concrete action that gets things done.
- How to understand your mind and take control of your thoughts for greater success.
- How to take care of your body, emotions and spirit.
- How to have better relationships with other people.
- Keys to effectively managing your finances.
- Managing success in daily life, one day at a time.
What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your book?
A better understanding of how to be successful in life, and a strong belief that they can indeed be more successful – even achieve great success – if they follow the guidelines in this book.

Defining Your Success and Power
To many people “success” means wealth, fame and power.
But actually success can be a much wider range of things.
You are capable of many different kinds of success.
Focusing on the kind of success you want is critical to attaining it.
The key to attaining success is concentrating your resources on your greatest opportunities.
That’s where your power comes from.
Instead of doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and making no progress…
You concentrate your resources based on your 9 key success factors…
And focus them like a laser beam on your greatest opportunities.
What are your 9 key success factors?
The 4 internal success factors of mind, body, emotions and spirit
The 5 external success factors of relationships with people, finances and other property, your work, your leisure activities, and your interaction with the environment.
These 9 life success factors cover everything in the world that might impact your success!
A Literary Titan reviewer had this to say: “…This informative book is a must-have handbook written by an author with practical knowledge about how things work for personal and business success. I found helpful advice on my mental potential and focusing on physical and psychological stability. I love every aspect of this book, and it is hard to highlight my favorite sections. The Simple D method of decision-making, connecting with God, and rediscovering that our mind has infinite power and how it directly influences our journey was exciting. This is one of my key takeaways from this book. The central theme of this book is controlling your thoughts and thus changing your destiny because whatever we think becomes our reality…”

Walk This Path Of Healing
Divine. Messy. Human. is a spiritual guide that helps readers prioritize their internal truth over external influences to take them from self-loathing to self-love. Why was this an important book for you to write?
I’ve lived much of my life in self-doubt and self-hatred, and know that I’m not the only one who either does, or did.
Questioning myself regularly about my choices I beat myself up in my head repeatedly about even the smallest perceived transgressions, and often in ways that far outweighed the “crime” I’d believed I had committed. I was a self-flagellator of the highest order, often because I’d been conditioned to see the worst in myself well before I saw the best.
A chronic people-pleaser, I lived to my personal perception of other’s expectations of, and for me. From childhood to adulthood, I consistently ticked all the boxes for appropriate behaviour, good grades, success, life path, and so much more. I regularly made sure that everyone was taken care of at my own physical, mental, emotional and spiritual expense. I martyred myself and became full of suppressed emotions and resentment.
All of the above combined to make me unhappy, full of self-hatred, and unwell with chronic fatigue.
In re-connecting, first to myself, and then to my spirituality, I turned around the way I felt about everything. This book was my way to share with others the tools and techniques that I used to walk this path of healing towards self-love and greater feelings of abundance.
What is the biggest hurdle you see people facing on their path to embracing their true selves?
The biggest hurdle is often that they don’t understand their deeply held trauma patterning and how they’ve been conditioned to go outside of themselves for all their life answers so regularly that they’ve lost touch with their own innate knowing of Self.
We are all surrounded by so much external noise and influence, much of it well-meaning but misguided, that we go external to ourselves before turning inward, if we turn inward at all.
Many hear their intuition, some even listen to it, but very few trust it and act on it.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
The main premise was to make these deeply spiritual concepts easily accessible, bite-sized, and comprehensible.
I hope that through these pages I am able to help people move towards an acceptance of their natural messiness, to embrace and recognise their divinity, and to begin their journey of combining the two to create an increased experience of the human condition.
What is one thing you hope readers take away from your book?
An increased sense that they know all the answers to their questions in life, even if they sometimes need external help and professional support to translate those messages.

A Spiritual Guide to Prioritising Internal Truth over External Influence
Soar from self-loathing to self-acceptance, self-love and self-empowerment
We come to this Earth, and leave this Earth, in our most Divine state.
We develop, inherit and embody messiness – the beliefs and programming that do not serve our Divinity but create our individuality.
We learn to bow to external influence to keep ourselves safe and protected within our tribe. And we all too regularly silence our inner knowing, heart and soul for fear of rejection.
All this makes us the perfectly balanced humans we are – equal parts Divine and Messy.
Within these pages are realisations, tools and techniques that I discovered, and still use, in my personal journey from self-loathing to self-love and deep connection to the Divine. With these simple strategies, we can all create Quantum leaps in life, love and abundance.
Change Your Destiny And Return To Power
Return to Power tells your inspirational story of overcoming adversity and stepping out from the background after years of feeling insignificant. Why was this an important book for you to write?
I wrote this book because I wanted to give those who feel like they are stuck in the background a voice. To those wonderful people who, even with success in their lives, have for whatever reason been relegated to the background or are once again voiceless, those are the ones I want to help EMPOWER. I want them to feel their power and be on TOP of their game, becoming their most authentic selves.
I appreciated the candid nature with which you told your story. What was the hardest thing for you to write about?
The hardest thing to write about was the painful memories of feeling alone and not fitting in with all my classmates. My shyness held me back from pursuing my dreams. I wanted to be a journalist but without the proper support from my teachers it took me in a different direction. I settled for whatever was comfortable for me because I didn’t think I was good enough to do anything significant.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
Some of the ideas I wanted to share in my book were of confidence, self-love, and compassion. Even though I went through a lot of challenges in life, I always hoped that one day I would conquer my demons feeling confident enough to prevent that negative inner voice from taking over. I did not grow up in a family that hugged so it was hard to feel love in that tactile way. When my dad told his friends my sister and I were not beautiful, I took that literally. For most of my life I felt shame and embarrassment when people complimented me because I couldn’t accept it. Having great teachers and mentors who were loving people helped me realize that I had to love myself first before I could love others unconditionally. If they weren’t compassionate and didn’t see potential in me, I would not have been able to see potential in others. This compassion brought me wisdom, gratitude, and an abundance of love to pursue my dreams, contribute to great causes, and pay it forward.
What is one thing you hope readers take away from your book?
The one thing I hope readers will take away from my book is to practice self-love and self-care daily so they can feel empowered to do anything their heart desires. I invested a lot of time and money into self-development so I could pursue my dreams. It took me many years. It is important to learn how to grow from a place of hurt, scarred by negative epithets, into the great human being you were meant to be by finding that inner love, removing the walls that have protected you for so long. No matter where you started in life, you can course correct and change directions any time to change your destiny and Return to Power!
