There are times when we all feel powerless, when everything seems just that much farther away from our control. But we do not lack for power, we just need to recognize what we do have and make the best use of it. This little book shows you the path to cultivating the everyday abilities, gifts, and opportunities we all have. You don't have to be blessed with enormous wealth, intelligence, and creativity to make a positive difference in the world around you. You do have to discover your power and discover The Power of a Penny.

St. Martin's: Griffin

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling like an old penny. Worthless. Forgotten. Discarded. Flattened. Ugly. Yet, like the penny, we still have value, and we can make a difference. 
We have the power to smile. We have the power to be kind. We have the power to be courteous and pleasant. We have the power to praise. We have the power to listen. We have the power to try. We have the power to care.
We do not lack for power. We just need to recognize what we do have and make the best use of it. These short selections show readers the path to cultivating the everyday powers, gifts, and opportunities we all have, so as to make a positive difference in our world.
Discover your power . . . discover The Power of a Penny.

The tricks dogs teach us are more important than any tricks we can ever teach them. We teach them to beg, roll over and fetch. They teach us about loyalty, friendship, enthusiasm, joy, patience, forgiveness and unconditional love. This lovely gift book by the author of What Dogs Teach Us (more than 200,000 sold) offers a heart-warming look at the life lessons dogs have to offer us, such as: - No whining. Why do we complain so much? Isn't that one of the things we like about dogs? -They don't complain. After dealing all day with criticisms, whines and complaints everywhere we turn - from the boss, from fellow workers, from customers, from commuters - it's refreshing to come home and be greeted with happiness, acceptance and an enthusiastic kiss! - Just say thanks. Dogs are so appreciative of even the slightest favor or attention - a pat on the head, a dog biscuit, a romp in the back yard. We, on the other hand, rarely stop to express our appreciation for anything. If we said thank you as often and as sincerely as dogs do, we might find we like each other as much as we like our dogs.

Smart cats are confident and like to play. They choose their expressions carefully, stay physically fit and always maintain good grooming. They are as content in an apartment as in a mansion. And they don't let their work get in the way of a good nap. Bestselling author Glenn Dromgoole shows, in warm words and heartwarming photos, what we can learn from smart cats.
