What is Cosmopsychology?"It's just a word that suggests we're all subject to a Cosmic Pattern that operates in us - and we need to know about it and deal with it psychologically. Maybe I'm saying there's a kind of 'street psychology' for dealing with the nature you inherited from your birth chart."That's the author's explanation for an approach to astrology that tries to bring some of the most complex ideas in the field into the common language.And that's what the pages of this book are about - an explanation of the false ideas that some people have about astrology and what it is, and pates of interpretations of the planetary combinations that were present at your birth. How they make you a personality. How they give you an identity. How the give you a sexual and creative nature. How they tend to create in you common sense or the ability to handle practicality. How they set you up for communicating with other people. And, finally, how they structure you to fit into a generation of people trying to find their own individuality in ways that are not common.Cosmopsychology - as presented here - is a newer and simpler approach to some of the more complex ideas that a person will come across when beginning to get into astrology seriously. It tries to deal with the chart in human terms, rather than technical jargon.

Early travel experiences in Europe and an independent mindset drive a London student and his friend to give up everything they own and leave Thatcher's Britain with one-way tickets to New York City. They arrive in the New World knowing no one on the entire continent, with no fixed destination beyond a pilgrimage to Graceland, and no idea what may lie in wait. Marc Robertson draws on influences from his youth that affected his impulse to travel across the United States on a journey that would prove full of mishaps and danger, life lessons and strange encounters. This is the true story of a childhood filled with peculiar discoveries in Europe, the terrors of an English boarding school, an East End theatre life of ghosts and bum-slapping Swedes, and an almost penniless trek through America in an old Chevrolet with a block of cheese and a six-shooter.

This book directly addresses the issues and problems that leaders face in today's business environment-and provides tangible and usable techniques to overcome these challenges.Millennial-generation managers and employees-those ages 18-35-have transformed business in America. More than any previous generation, they don't conform to the traditional ways of doing things. Rather than passively taking orders, Millennials thirst for engagement, expect to be part of a team, and need to be engaged in meaningful tasks. And they aren't as devoted to the corporation as much as they are to the product or service that's provided. This book guides readers-people in management positions or in any corporate setting-in embracing these key differences and nurturing their abilities to listen and empathize with coworkers, supervisors, and employees. Readers will also learn the best ways to encourage and motivate this unique generation in a way that is familiar to them and still serves to push them to work hard, improve, and grow.The book demonstrates how to lead and manage Millennials, explains how to motivate them, and describes how to help them develop professionally. It gives managers the tools and techniques to satisfy Millennials' need to advance rapidly in their careers-and explains how to become a supporter of this desire instead of appearing to stand in their way. Turning the traditional notion of business management on its head, it shows that taking a caring and humanistic approach to employees, coworkers, and colleagues leads to increased productivity, efficiency, and profitability. These same techniques that foster open communication and trust will help companies to create office cultures that encourage people to be self-motivated and minimize worker turnover.
