Poems with a twist of the extraordinary about them--unusual, even quirky thoughts, images, and characters that come back to mind at the oddest times. These are not your grandmother's poems or your children's rap.

If you've ever wondered about starting a meditation practice, this book is for you! Basic questions about starting a "natural" meditation practice (see Heartfulness and Sahaj Marg) are covered, along with deeper philosophical topics about the journey of the soul. THE JOURNEY WITHIN . . . presents candid interviews with people engaged in meditation, some with decades of experience and others who are newcomers to spiritual practice. Author Kim Hughes, herself a relative newcomer to meditation, asks in this book the kinds of insightful questions that get to the heart of what we all want to know about meditation. How does it work? What does it feel like? What has it done for you? How difficult is it? What can it do for me? Each interview is unique as we read about starting a meditation practice, working with a guru, making lifestyle changes, and using the power and hope of meditation to help heal our planet. Heartfulness meditation is spreading rapidly around the globe, with many advocating its positive benefits. Learn more through these interviews and, in the process, move beyond materialism and the daily "drama of life" toward improved health, balance, and harmony through meditation.

Imagine an urban social worker psychiatrist battling not only to save the children in his care but also to conquer his own demons. The smallest detail (a tiny spider, for example) can suddenly loom into an epic opponent in this multi-layered, irresistible psychological thriller. The story jumps seamlessly from San Francisco's most depressed neighborhoods to a mythic landscape, cast of characters, and battlefield implied by the present but out of reach for ordinary perceptions. Until now. You will never see life in the same way after joining the author Among the Veils.

A young skateboarder finds himself headed for the art museum to fulfill a school assignment. He can think of a thousand things he would rather be doing--until a Degas picture whispers to him from the museum wall. There follows a painting by painting detective hunt as Degas' depicted characters reveal the secrets of their lives and times. This elegant, wonderfully illustrated book demonstrates that past masters and masterpieces need not be "dead" for young people. Viewed as a treasure trove of fascinating lore and legend, these paintings can catch the imagination of young people, motivating them to value the "rush" of great art as surely as they love the rush of jumping on their skateboards.

Motivating other people (and ourselves) is the heart of leadership in any organization. This book cuts to the chase of ten proven techniques for converting chuggers into chargers in your company.

William Wordsworth, arguably the pre-eminent poet of the Romantic era in England, focused on the figure of the child throughout his major poetry. This study examines in detail his sophisticated, evolving use of this master metaphor and its implications. Poems discussed include the Lyrical Ballads, Tintern Abbey, the Immortality Ode, The Prelude, and others.

Captured here are Po Chung's unique, tested, and often revolutionary ideas on service leadership principles and strategies focused on Asia but in fact transcending locale and industry sectors. He simultaneously offers Western business readers a clear window into Asian business thinking while offering Asian business people his insights on doing business globally. He was among the first to recognize the tectonic shift in many regions of global business from a manufacturing, product-based model to a service, process-based economy. As Po points out, the GDP of many global business hubs now stems primarily from service revenue, not manufacturing income. The heart of Po's message, therefore, has to do with a true game-changer: understanding the service economy in all its forms, then redesigning both business and business education to make the most of that new economy. Around that core concept Po builds a support structure of associated guidelines and principles, including his original perspectives on business habitats, Personal Operating Systems, organizational DNA, dangerous "viruses" to business processes, and a host of other linked concerns. Together, these topics rise to the stature of a new vision for building service businesses, nurturing human capital, and relating with conscience to one's clientele and society.
