Animals and nature can act as teachers and guides, send warnings of impending danger, or simply make life more joyous. More profoundly, intuitive bonds with the natural world can foster life-altering changes and spiritual redirection. "Beyond Words" describes what people experience when they connect intuitively with animals and nature. In her first book, "Learning Their Language, " Marta Williams taught readers how to make this connection; here she explores how life changes once they do. Williams describes a photographer who is healed by dolphins in the waters off Hawaii, how a rottweiler helps her female companion seek the assistance she needs, and how young Neil and his horse Feste together learned about life, death, and loyalty. Easy-to-follow exercises and practices help readers experience these same types of communication.

Both science and spirituality see the enemy as a teacher -- one who holds information critical to resolving common struggles. But learning from one's enemies, especially in these polarized times, can be a profoundly difficult task. "Worst Enemy, Best Teacher" integrates spiritual, cultural, and scientific methods to transform adversarial relationships into powerful learning experiences. Here mediator and corporate trainer Deidre Combs expands on the revolutionary philosophy introduced in her first book"The Way of Conflict." She suggests a cross-cultural elemental typing system -- earth, air, fire, water -- to identify and learn how best to approach the person or problem that plagues us most -- whether it's a neighbor, a brother-in-law, a new boss, or the factory's fiercest competitor. The book shows how to apply the wisdom gained from studying the opponent to any challenge, whether within one's self, with friends or family, or between companies or nations, and offers ingenious tips and techniques for learning from the enemy and converting conflict into resolution.
