Dr. Liz O'Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practice at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz's incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she molded and reshaped women's breasts, while saving their lives; to the heart-breaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer.

Everyone knows the first rule of friends-with-benefits is you don't fall for your friend. There are a million reasons I shouldn't be messing around with Claudia: we're best friends, we work together, her dad is my boss, and I'm moving out of state in a few weeks.

So much so that they can actually decipher the unspoken, and in turn, teach us to really hear and be heard. Endless research and study done through the eyes and instincts of a scientist, teacher, author, and most importantly, a mother, have afforded us this invaluable insight into the skill of communication. Matt, a moderate to severely autistic and non-verbal child, had a...

Want to get kids to say "yes"...instead of begging, negotiating, and pleading? We want what is best for them, and so should they. So why don’t they understand us?
