Mission driven―business as a vehicle for change. 
 The current business-for-profit model rewards short-term thinking, narrow self-interest, and a social-and-environmental-costs-be-damned attitude. Non-profits, while more focused on the greater good, tend to be inherently resource-challenged and rely on increasingly scarce grants and donations to sustain their existence. Social enterprise is an exciting, blended model driven by the desire to create positive change through entrepreneurial activities. 
 The Art of Social Enterprise is a practical guide which supplies everything you need to know about the mechanics of social entrepreneurship including: 
<ul>
<li> Startup – envisioning and manifesting intention </li>
<li> Strategic planning – balancing social and monetary value </li>
<li> Maintaining an even keel despite the inevitable challenges associated with being an entrepreneur. </li>
</ul>
 This valuable resource also provides an unparalleled legal perspective to help you take advantage of established legal organizational forms, recent statutory creations, contract hybrids, certification programs and more. 
 Aimed at emerging as well as established social entrepreneurs, for-profit leaders who want to introduce an element of social responsibility into their companies, and non-profit organizations who want to increase their stability by generating income, The Art of Social Enterprise is the definitive guide to doing well while doing good.

Love and the More Perfect Union combines proven strategies for achieving relationship harmony with the “continuum of connection,” an innovative model of emotions that provides invaluable insights into how we love and the energetics of intimate relationships. It distills the complex world of relationships to its essentials, surfaces secret challenges and opportunities, and serves up six simple and actionable precepts for harmony and happiness. With its call for creative culture-creation and positive thinking, it is fluff free, straightforward, elegantly written, wise and immensely useful. Find out why one recent reader called it “a great resource for anyone interested in creating more paradise within their relationship." Intimate relationships are massive, murky territory. They’re crisscrossed by a tangle of motivations—lust, love, attachment, loyalty, necessity, and more. They’re the heart of darkness and the heart of light, too. By their very nature, they defy rational analysis. We stumble into relationships and do our best to muddle through. For most of us, being in a relationship is like trying to drive from Albuquerque to Newfoundland without a map. These pages provide a compass. More specifically, you will come away from these pages with four specific information sets: An understanding of the three core yearnings that drive our behavior in relationships. Insight into a paradox that is inherent in all relationships. We yearn to be autonomous and we also yearn to connect. The result: we’re often out of synch with our partners, not to mention ourselves. Relationships require ongoing management of this tension. A visual map for understanding the dance of relationship and how to manage it skillfully. In the context of action, we humans thrive on concreteness. We benefit from clear mental maps, yet we tend to navigate our relationships without them. By this map, there are five chambers in the house of love. In this book, you will learn what they are, how to identify which one you’re in, and how to migrate to one that feels better. The understanding that the work of relationship includes Tiny Country Creation. We are each of us Founding Fathers and Mothers in the land of love.

WINNER, 2015 Book of the Year award! (AASECT, the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors &amp; Therapists) For Secrets of the Sex Masters, master journalist Carl Frankel interviewed nineteen of the world's best sex teachers and, in partnership with them, turned the interviews into chapters that will guide readers to having the best sex of their lives. Chapters cover what you might expect (oral sex, anal sex) as well as topics that are essential to having great sex but aren't covered in most books on the subject -- how to manage shame when it arises in the bedroom, for instance. The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides essential information with chapters on the dance of anatomy and energy, oral sex, anal sex (as noted above), power exchange (also known as kink or BDSM), and touch. The second section addresses issues relating to mind, heart and spirit, with chapters on finding the lover within, keeping the flame alive, sex and shame, sex as improv and creative play, eroticizing safer sex, and fantasy, role play and communication. The third and final section takes up advanced skills and 'special treats,' with chapters on extended female orgasm, non-ejaculatory male orgasm, female ejaculation, 'Bondassage' (a gently kinky form of massage), Tantra and energy sex. All in all, a mix of need-to-know information and Jedi-like capabilities that anyone can learn. Contributors include the legendary porn actress Nina Hartley and her husband, the master dominant Ernest Greene; Joseph Kramer, the creator of Sexological Bodywork; Sheri Winston; the award-winning sex educator and medical professional; Charles Muir, who is widely credited with bringing Tantra to the West; and fourteen other masterful 'sexperts.' Secrets of the Sex Masters isn't only a book about how to have amazing sex. It's about how to have an amazing life. At the end of the day, if you want to be a wonderful lover, you need to love wonderfully. Secrets of the Sex Masters provides all the technical information you need to be very skilled in bed. It also goes deeper than that and provides invaluable guidance on how to love wonderfully. It is, among other things, a book about how to show up. A book about how to connect.

Secrets of the Sex Masters

The Unraveling recounts the adventures that befall three Earthlings when they travel to a culture that has been steeping for thousands of years in a broth of sex, pleasure and connection. Welcome to Erotopia, where the clergy are sex priests and priestesses and their talents are literally miraculous! The three Earthlings are emissaries traveling to a distant galaxy to make contact with the only other humanoid species in the universe, and they are also entrepreneurs, intent on making a fortune by creating an X-rated reality show that features them having sex with hot extra-terrestrials. But the eronauts have shortcomings. They are toting Earth culture with them and are unskilled at relationship, communication, conflict resolution, and loving well. These deficits are magnified in the wisdom culture of Erotopia, which is perfectly artful in these areas. This clash of cultures and capacities is the fulcrum on which The Unraveling hinges. Will the Earthlings learn from Erotopia? Or will they infect the culture with their many dysfunctions? A deeply original mash-up of moods and genres, The Unraveling is silly and serious, satirical and visionary, metaphysical and memorably bawdy. The Unraveling is also: -A deeply considered meditation on some of the most critical issues of our time, including boundaries, consent, and the meaning of 'man' and 'woman' in our culture. -Volume One of a grand epic trilogy—The Erotopian Chronicles. -A manifesto for sex-positivity. “Strap yourself in for one wild ride to Erotopia. Funny, sexy, beautifully written and compelling—a thinking man and woman’s erotic journey like no other. Barbarella meets Galaxy Quest on steroids!” -Marlene Adelstein, USA Today bestselling author of Sophie Last Seen "A sexy, droll page-turner that will make you think as well as laugh. A wise and provocative Utopian romp." -Eric Booth, author, Tending the Perennials: The Art and Spirit of a Personal Religion “In a time when we’re constantly bombarded with bad news about sex from the latest #MeToo scandal to the panic over human trafficking to the perils of porn addiction, it’s refreshing to visit a world where there’s not only abundant good news about sex, sex itself is the source of that good news. In his imaginative novel The Unraveling, author and well-known sex-positivity advocate Carl Frankel takes us to just such a place—the planet Erotopia (a title inspired by Ernest Callenbach’s 1975 book Ecotopia) where consensual sex in a vast profusion of expressions is not only celebrated but forms the basis of a peaceful and prosperous society. Erotopia’s inhabitants have perfected sexuality as both an art and a science and though their world is not entirely free of conflicts and contradictions, as none could be, it is as close to paradise as any humanoid life form could hope to discover. Vividly written, peopled with a fascinating diversity of characters human and otherwise, and delightfully optimistic, The Unraveling is a thoughtful and entertaining take on a world that’s chosen the power of pleasure over the pleasure of power.” -Ernest Greene, author, The Master of O Author Carl Frankel runs the Intimate Arts Center, which was founded by his wife, the award-winning author and sex educator Sheri Winston. He is the author of five non-fiction books, two of which have won national prizes: Secrets of the Sex Masters and The Art of Social Enterprise. The Unraveling is his first novel.
