Matters Of The Heart
In a time when teenage girls are being bombarded with images of troubled celebrities, author Corin Wiser saw a critical need for a guidebook that would help young women connect with their inner voices. Matters Of The Heart: A Guide To Living And Loving Your Teen Years is written proof of her determination to empower girls. For more information, visit www.mymattersoftheheart.com.
It was a lot of fun to be on the NBC 6 South Florida Today show this morning and although I haven’t seen a clip yet (I hope to post one soon on the blog!), feedback so far has been great (but then again, what else would my husband, parents, sisters and friends say?)… The truth is that if at least one viewer was compelled to buy the book as a result of the interview, then the interview was a success! Now more than ever I clearly know what my purpose is: to have the book reach the hands of those teen girls that really need it!

Corin:
Reading your book took me back to my teenage years…(I’m almost 27!!) and I wish I would’ve had a book like yours to read and understand that those “problems” that I was having at that moment were just not mine.. But yet, experienced by girls my age all around the world!
Moving from a different country to 
Although this is a book for teenagers, I must say that there are issues that as a women are still difficult to overcome no matter how old you are and by reading the book, I was reminded of who I am, and most importantly, who I want to be.
Thank you! YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 4, 2008 –
On April 14, 2008, NBC’s South Florida Today will feature author Corin Wiser, M.Ed., speaking about her newly-released book, Matters of the Heart: A guide to living and loving your teen years. The book offers simple and straightforward tools to help the reader discover her inner voice, or “internal guidance system,” and to overcome negative influences on the way to reaching her full potential. Every section offers sound, practical guidance, in the form of The Ten Matters, followed by personal insights from Nicki – a sixteen-year-old girl whose journal entries illustrate that the challenges and insecurities of teen life are all part of a natural process. The book includes writing prompts – questions that encourage girls to think about the choices they make, the goals they have, and the untapped power that lies within. By applying the universal principles presented in this book, the reader soon discovers the precious gifts within, as she learns, grows – and yes – thrives and succeeds during those challenging teenage years. This book is both a resource and a diary, and a must-have guidebook for all teen girls.
Corin Wiser, M.Ed., speaks passionately and from the heart. As a mental health therapist, Corin worked for many years with children and adolescents, and her commitment to empowering teen girls inspired her to write Matters of the Heart.

GREAT email from student at Naugutuck High School, CT.
I must share this email – it was written by an incredibly insightful student who is part of the book club in
Dear Ms. Wiser,
My name is ……, I am a student in the
First of all, I would like to say I have very much enjoyed what I’ve read so far. I think this is a wonderful book for young girls forming their self image to read and remember while going through the moments in life which will define them.
One reference in chapter four (Words Matter) about Masaru Emoto’s water experiment particularly caught my attention. While I have not had the pleasure of reading Mr. Emoto’s book, the mention of him brought to mind a movie I had seen some time ago which I think ties in very nicely to your book.
The movie is called What the Bleep Do We Know!? I believe it came out four years ago. It follows a character named Amanda, a deaf photographer who is emotionally damaged by her husband’s affair and divorce. It uses everything from our perception of reality to quantum mechanics to existentialism and metaphysical ideals to explain why this woman is unhappy and what she has to do to be able to love life again. It’s a very fascinating movie and I think appropriate for 13 and older students.
I hope you get a chance to see the movie and write back with your opinion, I know its given me almost as much to ponder as your book has! There are lots of ideas out there I must get to mulling over, thank you for contributing to the collection of authors who really make me think.
Amazing, right? And this is my response to her…
Hi ……, how wonderful to receive your great email! Thanks for taking the time to write and share your comments and thoughts. I have to tell you, although I’m here in

More Pictures from the Book Party…
Although it’s been some time since the book party, I’m still feeling the amazing energy from that night when I shared with everyone my reason for writing Matters of the Heart. Now that the book is out and I’m receiving feedback from my readers, I’m constantly reminded of that reason, and it’s a simple one: to offer teen girls a guidebook that can help them find their inner voice. More and more we hear of how teen girls are “lost” or depressed, willing to be who they’re not just to fit-in. Just a few weeks ago we heard of how 25% of all teens have some kind of STD. Even with these statistics, I still believe girls it’s never too late for teen girls to find the power to connect with their inner voice and start making choices based on the things that really matter… Enjoy the pictures and remember to …
