* "This doggy diva is queen of the catwalk." -Oprah Winfrey, The Oprah Winfrey Show * Zelda is the official "spokesdog" for Delta Society Pet Partners, an international program dedicated to the human-animal healing bond. With a full line of Zelda Wisdom cards, calendars, gift kits, other licensed products, and seven previous books under her collar, Zelda now dispenses her advice on her popular weekly Dear Zelda column on www.zeldawisdom.com. At the core of Zelda's wisdom is a focus on humor and healing. As owner Carol Gardner explains, "Zelda always makes me laugh. She's proof that you don't have to be thin, rich, young, or wrinkle-free to be successful. More important, you don't have to be perfect to be happy." From peer pressure to retirement and from sibling rivalry to toxic relationships and much more, Zelda's advice allows us to laugh at ourselves and realize that in life's ups and downs, we are never alone. Tough when necessary, and tender when needed, there is a little Zelda in all of us!

Book Description
Dear George: Insights into Healing Relationships is a book of hope and possibilities. I’ve been on a healing journey most of my life. The stories you are about to read are based on my own complicated journey and my years in private practice. Each chapter starts with "a letter to George," a psychotherapist. The letters describe the journey of George and me custom designing a therapeutic relationship. They are my effort to move beyond my past patterns of distrust for the psychotherapeutic system. We co-create something new that drastically reduces the chronic pain I’ve been living with for forty years. All the chapters have three perspectives: mine with George, a novice’s experience—my daughter’s journey healing cancer—and the points of view of veterans of the system. These people choose to work with me. They have been in the system for a long time and often have more than one diagnosis. They are system-weary and system-wise. In my life and practice, I witness transformative shifts, which produce amazing results whether people are dealing with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, cancer, or mental illness. We use less than 10 percent of our brain capacity, and we mostly operate from unconscious programming or habit. This is why we keep doing what we do, even though it may not work. One way to form new connections in the brain is to open ourselves to possibilities through reading about people who experience these kinds of changes. Is your unconscious programming taking over? Are you struggling to overcome it? Dear George inspires hope, challenges conventional ideas and theories, and creates more expansive thinking and learning for those with the courage to question current practices. No hard work — no exercises. Just relax, read, and then see what happens.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Ali Wong’s heartfelt and hilarious letters to her daughters (the two she put to work while they were still in utero) cover everything they need to know in life, like the unpleasant details of dating, how to be a working mom in a male-dominated profession, and how she trapped their dad. “Knife-sharp . . . a genuine pleasure.”—The New York Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • Variety • Chicago Tribune • Glamour • New York In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, an eight-month pregnant Ali Wong resonated so strongly that she even became a popular Halloween costume. Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women, and why you never see new mom comics on stage but you sure see plenty of new dads. The sharp insights and humor are even more personal in this completely original collection. She shares the wisdom she’s learned from a life in comedy and reveals stories from her life off stage, including the brutal single life in New York (i.e. the inevitable confrontation with erectile dysfunction), reconnecting with her roots (and drinking snake blood) in Vietnam, tales of being a wild child growing up in San Francisco, and parenting war stories. Though addressed to her daughters, Ali Wong’s letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving, and enlightening (and gross) for all. Praise for Dear Girls “Fierce, feminist, and packed with funny anecdotes.”—Entertainment Weekly “[Wong] spins a volume whose pages simultaneously shock and satisfy. . . . Dear Girls is not so much a real-talk handbook as it is a myth-puncturing manifesto.”—Vogue “[A] refreshing, hilarious, and honest account of making a career in a male-dominated field, dating, being a mom, growing up, and so much more…Yes, this book is addressed to Wong’s daughters, but every reader will find nuggets of wisdom and inspiration and, most important, something to laugh at.”—Bustle
