BOOKS

Release + Become models the healing journey of a woman who found herself in an artist’s work and the artist who chose to live his purpose through suffusing healing energies into his work. It is a universal story of letting go (releasing), receiving, and healing. With quotes from renowned leaders from the globe (such as United Nations Ambassador- Anwarul K. Chowdhury, Sanskrit Professor - Nadine L. Berardi, Parsons School of Design Faculty- Nick Dawes, Chief Priest of Sivananda Yoga Ranch - Shri Sankaran Namboodiripad, and Founding Partner of SPREAD Design+Learning - Sonia Manchanda) Release + Become tells the story of two souls through art, words and resources for healing emotional wounds.


30 years after she first asked the question, “Why do women fall in love with convicted murderers?,” Sheila Isenberg answers it anew in the age of the internet, smart phones, social media, mass shootings, celebrity worship of murderers, and modern prison dating
At once disturbing and fascinating, Women Who Love Men Who Kill is a compelling psychological study of prison passion in the new millennium. Through extensive research and interviews with women who seek relationships with convicted killers through snail and e-mail, and through conversations with psychiatrists, social workers, and prison officials, Isenberg sheds light on why these women are drawn into relationships with incarcerated outcasts.
Many of the women vulnerable to these relationships know exactly what they are getting into. But they are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of a love without hope or promise, or consummation.

Rare Earth minerals become as abundant as sand on the beach, while Space travel and the permanent Human habitation of the Moon, Mars and planets beyond become a legitimate conversation. Not to mention the holy grail of life on Earth itself, micro gravity research into life science (aka immortality) become more than a science fiction notion.

RACE IN SPACE

Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Dorothy Height, Rosa Parks, Hosea Williams, Martin Luther King and Nina Simone the strange fruits of America’s legacies of slavery and systemic racism continue to be cancerous weeds strangling the moral fiber of America’s greatest ambitions. The purpose of Race in Space is to start the conversation of how today’s leadership can take meaningful steps to ensure that Humanity’s final frontier isn’t built on the same legacies of institutional and systemic racism that plague the American Dream, democracy and economic freedom to this day. Thank you to all the civil rights leaders whose shoulders are now the launching pads of social justice, equity, and inclusion on Earth and in the Space Economy. Without your sacrifices and vision this moment would not be possible. Welcome to the Space Economy. See everyone on the moon!

The Way of the Rose.png

What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary?
“This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit
Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn:
The rosary is My body,
and My body is the body of the world.
Your body is one with that body.
What cause could there be for fear?
Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.


Blue Structure from the publisher, Calypso Editions

"Terrifying in courage and grace, the poems of Jan Freeman's Blue Structure explore the brutal architecture of love, grief, and survival. Freeman writes 'Blue is above your head and you cannot touch it/though it is almost always there' and yet Freeman manages to graze and grasp love's luminous azure shards. In the strange wounds that great loves know, Freeman opens language to its throat and bones. These poems are horizons, tunnels, gardens, holes, mazes, curtains, stones, fences, mythologies, branches, windows, and hands. These poems, elegiac and muscular, ache and sing. Freeman's muted voice soars, deft and searing, as it ripples with piercing depth. Here, we discover again what exists, spoken and unspoken, about those who endure the full tilt of life: 'If loneliness becomes freedom, ring the bells.'"

-Rachel Eliza Griffiths


A heartwarming true-life fable from the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Santa—including his personal journey of discovering the magic of Christmas.
Every year, over a million people attend the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, where they have the pleasure of seeing Charles Edward Hall don a traditional red suit and become the world's most famous Santa Claus—a role he has played for twenty-seven straight years.
But Hall wasn’t always such a jolly old soul. Believe it or not, this Santa was once a Scrooge. For the first time, Charles tells the inspiring story of his own transformation, from a wide-eyed child who once caught a glimpse of Santa through a frosty windowpane, to a young man who lost his faith in jolly old Saint Nick.
It wasn’t until fate intervened, in the form of an unexpected role, a stage malfunction, and hundreds of letters from children, that Charles rediscovered his Christmas spirit. Ultimately, he realized Radio City was his life’s work, and that Santa isn’t just a role. He lives in the hearts of the millions who attend the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and everyone who embraces the Christmas spirit.
Santa Claus, in other words, is real. When Charles needed him most, Santa was there, with kind words and a special gift. As this delightful true-life fable proves, he is there for everyone. All it takes is a good heart, an honest joy, and a belief in the magic of Christmas.

Learn Better: Mastering the Skills for Success in Life, Business, and School, or, How to Become an Expert in Just About Anything by Ulrich Boser

For centuries, experts have argued that learning was about memorizing information: You're supposed to study facts, dates, and details, burn them into your memory, and then apply that knowledge at opportune times. But this approach to learning isn’t nearly enough for the world that we live in today, and in Learn Better journalist and education researcher Ulrich Boser demonstrates that how we learn can matter just as much as what we learn.

In this brilliantly researched book, Boser maps out the new science of learning, showing how simple techniques like comprehension check-ins and making material personally relatable can help people gain expertise in dramatically better ways. He covers six key steps to help readers “learn how to learn,” all illuminated with fascinating stories like how Jackson Pollock developed his unique painting style and why an ancient Japanese counting device allows kids to do math at superhuman speeds. Boser’s witty, engaging writing makes this book feel like a guilty pleasure, not homework.

Learn Better will revolutionize the way students and society alike approach learning and makes the case that being smart is not an innate ability ― learning is a skill everyone can master. With Boser as their guide, readers will be able to fully capitalize on their brain’s remarkable ability to gain new skills and open up a whole new world of possibilities.


Storytelling at Work: How Moments of Truth on the Job Reveal the Real Business of Life

By Mitch Ditkoff

Storytelling at Work is a groundbreaking book about the power of personal storytelling to spark insight, meaning, and innovation – especially in the modern day workplace where data and information have too often supplanted knowledge and wisdom. The author of the book, Mitch Ditkoff, has been an “innovation provocateur” to some of the world’s most forward thinking organizations since 1987 and has come to realize that the single most effective way to jump start wisdom in the workplace is via the sharing of well told stories – first person “moments of truth” that have embedded within them the DNA of what it really takes to be a positive force for change, on or off the job.
Part One of Storytelling at Work includes 37 of the author’s own stories from the front lines of business, both as the Co-Founder of Idea Champions – a leading innovation consultancy – and earlier in his life, as a young entrepreneur trying to find his way in the world. The stories are entertaining, evocative, and mind opening. Each one is followed by a brief reflection – a simple way for readers to apply the message of the story to their own lives.  Part Two of the book is a collection of 16 essays on the art and science of storytelling, a thought provoking exploration of why stories are such a powerful communication medium and how the reader can make best use of stories to have the most possible positive impact on others.

During this tumultuous time, she married twice, had a daughter and, in Vienna, fell in love with a leader of the Austrian underground. Using the code name “Mary,” Muriel became a hero of the Resistance, ferrying documents and people across the border under the noses of the Gestapo. She also paid ships’ passage for many escaping Jews and others wanted by the Nazis. Drawing from Gardiner’s unpublished writings and interviews with those who knew her best, Sheila Isenberg offers Muriel’s astonishing story of moral courage and humanistic zeal. With all its twists and turns, this inspiring account reveals a heroic woman who lives on as a legend of her time.
