The joy, courage, love, and serenity chant.

NEW BOOK!

Rabbi Zelig Pliskin's new book has recently been published by ArtScroll: ENCOURAGEMENT: Formulas, Stories, and Insights.

We're human. We need food. We need meaning and connection. And we most definitely need encouragement.

Now, in this wise and charming new volume, we learn how to effectively use the massive power of encouragement, to encourage ourselves and others, particularly when we feel overwhelmed or depleted.

In Encouragement, Rabbi Pliskin shares meditations and affirmations, inspirational true stories, and his trademark wise, practical advice. He shows us how our words can help others - and ourselves -- become more confident, optimistic, and upbeat people.

Rabbi Zelig Pliskin is the author of 25 books with his specialty in mastering happiness and other positive inner resources.

His last 15 books include such titles as: "Taking Action", "Happiness", "Kindness", "Courage", "Serenity", "Building Your Self-image" "Conversations with Yourself" and "Marriage." These books are available at: Artscroll.com.

Please bring back this podcast!

Please bring back this podcast! I miss it greatly. I always looked forward to it each week, and it really was helpful. If Rabbi Pliskin is no longer able to continue podcasting, perhaps the XML / RSS feed of existing episodes could remain available. Currently I don't see them being accessible in podcast form. Thanks!

Yes and No on your article

I thoroughly agree with positive thought and positive confession. I thoroughly disagree with pretense.
