TheEquationSizedSynopsis:

The Story of a young lad named Omer, born to a wealthy family and shackled on an island of battling hierarchies.

The youth leaves his home, and meets great dangers and tragedies as he seeks to discover Time’s Silent Secret.

At the turn of the Millennium, the mission was to track historic clues and discover an Equation that was lost through the times … hidden in the margins. An Equation that whoever finds it will be Transformed. And with its 4 Rings of Power … design destiny.

A Revolution is inspired! Time Stops!

Will the lad transform or bite from the forbidden power and be carried to the brink of Death?

Excerpt:

Over 13 billion years ago …when the universe sparked to life … the spiritual Big Bang accelerated fluctuations of light that swept the void of space with galaxies and dark energy.

Within this creation, a promise was made. In its heart lies the greatest light. The watchmaker watched the creation, as the universe was endowed with the freedom to move on its own.

One infinite garden, yet many trees of life. One humanity, yet many stories. This book is a small story from the inner light: a story that shall explore the Physical World and the Spiritual World. The body of the story shall embark upon exotic adventures across the lands of Planet Earth: from the continent of Asia to the continent of Europe, and from the ancient civilizations of the Middle East to the continent of America.

The mind of the story will travel from a little roof to the vastness of the stars, from the fires of the valleys to spiritual summits, from War to Peace, and from the sorrows of a heart to the pursuit of a dream.

There is a treasure. Yes! There is a treasure. A treasure that had been lost for millennia, hidden in the margins of History. A force beyond Time and Space – the source of all innovations. The myth tells that whoever discovers this treasure shall be bestowed 4 Rings of PowerThe Fountain of Youth – Water, Designing Destinies – Wind, The Moment – Earth, and Cosmic Energy – Fire. So let us light the torch of the future and sail towards the unseen!

An exchange of energy always occurs among all living things. Within this circle, within this network of energy … a small family once lived. But in order for the family to be here today, past generations decided to design the sands of time.

With no fuel or oil, every day, 7 days a week, Planet Earth orbits the sun. Every dawn, when the morning star shines high above, a new hope is born. A long time ago, in a far away holy land, on one of these mornings, an old man named Mati decided to transform.

James-Tarantin-The-Author-Image-2BIO:

 

“I believe that success is indivisible; the success of anyone anywhere is the success of all of us everywhere.”

 

James Tarantin is a Philosopher, Game Architect, Author, the Executive Chairman of Tarantin Ent LLC and the Creator of 4=T²D².

 

An American Citizen who immigrated to the United States alone with no family, money or any formal education … as a Philosopher, James studied  5 Chief avenues; The Mind, Pragmatism & Enterprises, Morality, Metaphysics and Aesthetics.  These avenues are explored in his written works, such as The Equation.

 

After several months of deep research and traveling to Rome, James saw the Equation in a dream at age 16. From 9/22/10 – 12/25/10 he handwrote the entire book.

 

James believes that each person is just around the corner at accomplishing their mountain top. And though he was a poor young man at the time, James was the first immigrant to America, and one of the youngest spiritual thinkers in history, to write a memoir at the age of 25, in a language that isn’t his mother tongue and with no training in writing whatsoever. The first memoir to present a new philosophical theory and explores a rich array of issues: Family Life, History, Mystical Science, Philosophy, Human Evolution, Personal Success, Enterprises, Spirituality, Beauty, The Universe and Cultures on 4 Continents.

 

At the age of 22, the legendary broadcaster Larry King took James under his wing, and he founded Tarantin Ent LLC … A company to be structured after a 50 page model that includes international business classes, classified strategy science, culture and values, and long-term Life-Cycle vision.

 

As the company’s Executive Chairman, James has 5 responsibilities: Content Creation, Global Strategy, Legislation, Balancing the Budget, and Transparency.

 

Before the age of 26, with fierce belief, James created, almost single-handedly: complete screen manuscripts, a library of stories, animated superheroes, a trading card game, the mobile game design script, a technical design document, goods and services, distribution channels, and the platform for a new social network.

 

“You go anywhere in the world, from The Big Apple to Paris and from Brazil to Berlin … the borderline between success and failure is blurred. In this new century, people want something fundamentally different.”

 

“The Equation is the answer spoken by the hearts of young and old, rich and poor.”

Interview with the Association for Natural Psychology, author of Overcoming ADHD Without Medication: A Guidebook for Parents and Teachers

Indie Book Promo is happy to welcome  the Association for Natural Psychology to the blog today! They are the authors of Overcoming ADHD Without Medication: A Guidebook for Parents and Teachers. He’s here to share some information about his book and if this sounds like the type of book that you would be interested in reading, please find buy links at the bottom of the post and pick up a copy for you and a friend!

IBP - Tell us about your new release?

Association for Natural Psychology - Overcoming ADHD Without Medication provides parents with practical ideas to help their children and teens to overcome ADHD symptoms. These ideas have proven to be effective, are field developed and tested, are based on clinical studies as well as from personal experiences of those who have overcome ADHD.

IBP –  Tell me a little about yourself

Association for Natural Psychology -  The AYCNP is a 501(c)3 New Jersey non-profit started by public school educators. It  provides practical, evidence-based ideas in non-pharmaceutical self-help for mental health difficulties and disorders.  It also recognizes and emphasizes the value of prevention. The AYCNP endeavors to reach out and give back to local communities and build greater awareness through education. The Association for Youth, Children and Natural Psychology (AYCNP), is also called the Association for Natural Psychology, when providing educational materials related to adult mental health.

The AYCNP has been providing information to the public on mental health since 2008 from many sources. Numerous professionals have contributed impetus to the development of its materials, including medical doctors, therapists, psychology professors and psychologists. Overcoming ADHD Without Medication was researched over a period of six or seven years. Some of the material in it represents the life-work of dedicated professionals who work daily with children.

 

 IBP - Did you have support at the beginning and/or during your writing?

Association for Natural Psychology -  In the beginning of the research of Overcoming ADHD Without Medication, Russell Barkley, PhD, the well know neurologist and ADHD expert, provide encouragement and guidance that sparked further research. Joel Nigg, PhD of associate professor of psychology Michigan State Universtiy also provided valuable support. Daniella Barroqueira, PhD of Illinois State University provided help, as did a number of school psychologists, teachers, special education teachers, preschool teachers as well as a professional reading coach. Iowa State University also contributed valuable information for use in this book. Another source of support and inspiration has been David Rabiner, PhD, chief scientific researcher on ADHD at Duke Univesrity, who provided valuable material published in Overcoming ADHD Without Medication, as well as personal communications and insights. His newsletter on ADHD provides a steady flow of well-developed analysis on current research and is of value and  readable by both professionals and non-professionals, anyone interested in the subject.

 

IBP – Do you keep track or write reviews for books you read?

Association for Natural Psychology - The Association for Natural Psychology (AYCNP) reads and reviews psychology books on a regular basis, and tries to keep abreast of latest developments in mental health and ADHD in particular. Hundreds of books helpful to the reader on the subjec of ADHD, depression, and bipolar disorder self help are catalogued on its website, in addition to many detailed reviews. Additionally, the AYCNP provides a carefully selected list of over 200 books for children and teens, most of which have been personally reviewed by members of the AYCNP, gathered from field work in public schools, public libraries and school librarians and awards lists. This provides parents and teachers, as well as teens themselves, a rich supply of positive and character building books for preK through high school, for their children or students.

 

IBP – Do you have advice for unpublished authors?

Association for Natural Psychology - I would recommend that individuals who may have a unique story or experience, or a personal life experience concerning ADHD or other mental health disorder, that they feel can help others, to by all means put it in a book form for publishing or self-publishing. Someone will read it, and it can add to the pool of knowledge on the subject.

 

IBP – Why did you choose the genre you write in?

Association for Natural Psychology - The impetus for this book came from working with children in public schools and concern for the serious problems many of them were experiencing. Further inspiration came from interviewing a reading coach in Paterson, NJ who had worked with hundreds of children who had been charaterized as having ADHD. Some children were heavily medicated from as young as preschool, some in grade school, and certain pre-teens were deeply distressed by forced medication. Many pre-teens in public schools played as much as five hours of video games a day after school, and admitted that they were “addicted”. At the same time, there was often positive response from the same children to art, which helped them settle down and focus. This provided the foundation for Overcoming ADHD Without Medication.

 

Sandra Rief’s book is popular in public schools, How to Reach and Teach ADHD Children, and provided further impetus for approaching the topic from a different angle that wasn’t covered by Rief, a former special education teacher.

 

 IBP - Your favorite books and author?

 

Association for Natural Psychology - There are a number of books on the subject of ADHD with value for parents and teachers. As mentioned, Sandra Rief’s How to Reach and Teach ADHD Children, is a good resource for teachers, with many practical ideas. Clinical (child) psychologist Susan Ashley, and her book, The ADD & ADHD Answer Book: Professional Answers to 275 of the Top Questions Parents Ask, is an excellent resource for parents and teachers. Rethinking ADHD: Integrated Approaches to Helping Children at Home and at School by Vicki Anderson and Tim Godber provides insight into children’s mental health issues and ADHD in particular, providing excellent research for parents and others interested in the topic. From a scientific point of view, Joel Nigg’s, What Causes ADHD?: Understanding What Goes Wrong and Why by Joel T. Nigg, PhD provides further insight from clinical studies on ADHD. Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents: Theory, Research, and Public Policy, by Iowa State University researchers Craig A. Anderson, Douglas A. Gentile, Katherine E. Buckley, helps to prove that there is a link for some boys between playing violent video games and symptoms associated with ADHD.

Because art helps many children to focus and overcome some of the core symptoms of ADHD, the book Drawing Animals: 30th Anniversary Edition by Norman Adams and Joe Singer is recommended for children and teens, and the book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards, now in its 4th edition, is worth giving as a gift to teens. Art can help some teens and children to ovecome some of the symptoms of ADHD. There are many other excellent resources on the subject of ADHD, too many to mention here, and parents can gather good ideas from many different sources.

 

IBP –  Where is your work available?

Association for Natural Psychology - Overcoming ADHD Without Medication is available in paperback from all major bookstores and online sources including Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble, online and stores. It is also available in eBook format on Kindle, Kobo, Nook, Overdrive (for libraries), EBSCO, and numerous other online sources.

 

The AYCNP Twitter page regularly posts articles on mental health, including ADHD, depression and bipolar disorder, that has much value.

 

IBP – What is in the works for you next? 

Association for Natural Psychology - The AYCNP is planning to release the book, Meeting the Challenge of Bipolar Disorder, Self Help Strategies that Work! by the Association for Natural Psychology, main text edited by Gabrielle Woods, PhD and Foreword by Laura Pipoly, PC, EdD, in Fall, 2013 as a distributed eBook and self-published paperback. It is currently available on Kindle as a pre-release preview edition.
