Ashburn, VA, March 07, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Bill Riley has completed his new book, “Now That Shot Sucked! Golf’s Mental Game For Duffers”: a helpful guide that offers a unique look into improving skills as well as enjoyment.

Duffers need a different set of mental game strategies than professionals and low handicappers, but most golf psychology books are oriented toward golf pros and scratch golfers because those are the people who pay for sports psychologists’ advice. Some even say that recreational golfers don’t need mental game strategies, just more lessons.

Recreational golfers can benefit greatly from an improved mental game if the strategies are tailored to their needs. Duffers want to optimize their performance, but they also just want to have an enjoyable round, even when their game is less than optimal. “Now That Shot Sucked! Golf’s Mental Game for Duffers” is written by a psychologist and recreational golfer for recreational golfers to improve their mental game, play better, and enjoy the game more.

Bill Riley, Ph.D., is a psychologist and recreational golfer who believes golf’s mental game strategies can be tailored better to the double-digit handicap duffer. Before retiring in 2022, Dr. Riley served for seventeen years at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the last seven years as the NIH Associate Director for Behavioral and Social Sciences Research. He received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Florida State University and spent most Friday mornings in graduate school sneaking in an early round at the Florida State golf course before going to research meetings. Before NIH, he served on the faculty of academic medical schools for fifteen years. He has published over 130 scientific articles and has nearly forty years of professional experience relevant to improving behavioral performance. He is also a long-time recreational golfer who has applied his knowledge of psychology and human behavior to mental game strategies tailored to duffers in “Now That Shot Sucked: Golf’s Mental Game for Duffers.”

Riley writes, “Do you typically end a round saying, ‘If only I hadn’t blown up on (insert hole number here), I would have broken 90 (or 100) today?’ If so, then this book is for you. The mental strategies described are tailored to the average recreational golfer. Although hopefully also entertaining, the content is consistent with the latest research in performance psychology but adapted for the game of the recreational golfer. The end of each chapter has ‘take it to the course’ reminders, so you can incorporate this instruction into your game as quickly as possible. Managing your mental game can improve your scores, but more importantly, it can make the game more enjoyable to play.”

Published by Page Publishing, Bill Riley’s engaging work offers game-changing information for golfers.

Two new consciousness‑style paperbacks on Amazon, Author Ruby Dosanjh has released, expanding a growing body of atmospheric, introspective fiction. The titles — Likewise and Otherwise — explore the quiet emotional shifts that happen between two people who are paying attention.

The first release, Likewise, is a story about subtlety and mirrored feeling. It follows the second meeting that changes the first, the presence that fits too perfectly, and the kind of recognition that arrives without language. Described as “a quiet echo,” the book offers a soft, atmospheric experience for readers who sense emotional shifts before they can name them. Some connections linger — not because they’re forced to, but because they belong.

The second paperback, Otherwise, moves into deeper territory. It traces the moment reflection becomes truth, when two people think of each other without stopping and without softening it into something smaller. What begins as quiet awareness grows into something unmistakable — familiar, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. Otherwise follows the slow, honest shift from noticing to knowing, and the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending nothing is happening.

Together, the releases mark a clear evolution in Ruby Dosanjh’s one‑word consciousness series — stories that move gently, speak quietly, and leave a lasting imprint. Both paperbacks are now available worldwide on Amazon.

Sebastian Clark has released "How To Read People Like A Book: The Subtle Art of How to Analyze People and Speed-Reading to decode Body Language, Intentions, Thoughts, Emotions, Behaviors, and Connect Effortlessly!", first published in 2022, according to an announcement received by Studio CarryOnHarry.

The book lands in a crowded shelf of nonverbal-communication guides. Its own marketing places it alongside Allan and Barbara Pease’s "The Definitive Book of Body Language," Joe Navarro’s "What Every BODY is Saying," and Thomas Erikson’s "Surrounded by Idiots" — three long-running titles that have anchored the popular body-language genre for years. Clark’s book positions itself as a newer entry covering similar ground: understanding facial expressions, gestures, posture, and vocal tone to reveal someone’s actual thoughts.

According to the announcement, the book walks through strategies applicable across various contexts including professional environments, social gatherings, and interpersonal connections — with the stated aim of helping readers spot emotions and intentions that go unspoken. Listed topics include facial expression and gesture analysis, context-specific body language decoding, interpreting non-verbal communication, reading vocal cues for emotional undertone, and trusting intuitive reads of subtle signals. The work is categorized within social science studies.

No further biographical detail on Clark accompanied the announcement, and independent listings for the title largely repeat the same publisher description rather than adding new information about the author or the book’s reception since 2022.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we’re interested in whether books like Clark’s deliver on their practical promise. The appeal of body-language guides lies less in theory and more in real-world application—the job interview where you’re trying to gauge whether the hiring manager is genuinely interested, the first date where mixed signals leave you uncertain, the negotiation where knowing if the other party is bluffing matters financially. Clark’s positioning across "professional environments, social gatherings, and interpersonal connections" suggests he’s aware readers want transferable skills, not just academic frameworks. The question worth asking: does his approach to vocal cues, facial analysis, and contextual interpretation actually equip readers to make better decisions in these high-stakes moments? Or does it risk reinforcing the confidence-without-accuracy trap that plagues intuitive people-reading? For readers considering this purchase, the gap between what body language can reliably tell us and what we wish it could tell us deserves scrutiny.
