In a light similar to the best selling books, Tuesdays with Morrieand Who Moved My Cheese, "Pillow Talk Consciousness: Intimate Reflections on America's 100 Most Interesting Thoughts and Suspicions"alsoshines and conveys a sobering yet captivating story. "Pillow Talk Consciousness" is a story about the social and political discourse which frames the lives and conversations of Americans today. The story revolves around the daily thoughts and suspicions of an average American couple at this nexus of the 21st Century. The story's format is designed to draw the reader into an unsuspecting mindset of self-reflection. True to the adage "we are what we think", the book --- in its totality --- paints a vibrant picture of American life based on unusually candid adult dialogues. Upon reflecting on the book's 100 topics and dialogues, the reader comes away with an amazingly holistic sense of the complexity and variety of the thought that frames American life and American conversation today --- thought that undoubtedly has set the stage for America's ultra-polarized social and political climate. The book's prologue, through an insightful view of two naturally fascinating qualities (pillow talk and human consciousness), "sets the table" for the reader to fully enjoy the dialogues that convey an increasingly revealing narrative of life in America. The prologue establishes the premise for and the intrinsic value of "candor without rancor" as a powerful yet often misunderstood and seldom used form on human expression. The profile of the book's two characters, Paul and Paulette, paints an engaging image of early 21st century America. The image portrays a diverse society highly influenced by individual life experiences --- including politics, friends, life style, genealogy, occupation, social status, family structure, religious affiliation, geographical residency and educational background. The profile also offers the reader a connection to both the genuineness and the natural prejudices found in today's society and reflected within the book's entertaining and sometimes provocative dialogues. The idea of 100 dialogues on 100 different topics may seem daunting at first glance. However, as the reader breezes through each dialogue (with the opportunity to make notes on his or her own point-of-view on each topic) it soon becomes apparent that the topics are quite pertinent to life in the 21st century. The reader similarly begins to appreciate how his or her own genealogy, family structure, geographical residency, friends, life style, occupation, educational background and etc. have contributed to shaping his or her personal points-of-view. When viewed separately, the prologue, the profiles and the dialogues are surely worth reading. But, when observed within the context of the sobering yet captivating story that is being told about "us" as Americans and how we view ourselves, others and our world, Pillow Talk Consciousnesscan easily be seen as a book for the ages..

Could you have avoided costly mistakes in your life if you knew then what you know now? If you could make the outcome of one of your most crucial life decisions more positive, would you do it? A great number of people would seize the opportunity to make a good decision even better. That's one of the reasons many gravitated to Living a Richer Life: Getting the Most out of Life's Gifts and Circumstances. In their first book, Earl Cobb and his wife, Dr. Charlotte Grant-Cobb, constructed the Life Enrichment Model to provide you with a tool to enhance your ability to more consciously respond to major circumstances in your life. In developing the model, however, Charlotte and Earl noted that even the best tools can't give you peace in the midst of a crisis. So in their sequel, God's Goodness and Our Mindfulness, the Cobbs, for the first time, share the source of their belief that "responding versus reacting to life's most challenging circumstances results in more positive outcomes." In their usual, instructive and descriptive manner, Earl and Charlotte illustrate, through the use of two of the most preeminent stories in the Bible, the importance of recognizing God's goodness and responding mindfully when confronting life altering circumstances. By reading this book you will be encouraged by knowing that (a) God's Goodness always reveals the magnitude of the circumstance and (b) responding mindfully to all circumstances in your life invites God's presence and grace. Furthermore, you will be fortified by the presentation of uplifting narratives that demonstrate the application of faith and mindfulness to crucial life altering circumstances. Additionally, you will be presented with the opportunity to learn more about the consciousness-enhancing nature of the Life Enrichment Model and how to properly apply the model to a potentially life changing circumstance in your life.

Situations and Leadership: Short Stories and Lifelong Lessons

During the March 2020 onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States, and throughout the 2020 Presidential election cycle and beyond, it was hard to dismiss and not seriously question the undeniable display of selfishness, hatred, political polarization and healthcare disparities within America.It seemed that humanity and kindness within the United States was disappearing and the words, "We the People" no longer had a place within our society. Many of us asked, "Where are the "people persons"? In their new book, Earl and Charlotte, characterize the metaphor, "People Person," as, "An individual who acts daily upon the belief that the pinnacle of human life is not anchored in misinformation, egotism, tribalism, hatred, jealousy, or selfishness, but in one striving to bring out the best in oneself as a human being, and valuing the uniqueness and the humanity of others." In an amazingly concise and powerful book, the Cobbs use an approach, which integrates photographic images as well as the most relevant literary work of others, to connect "thought with feelings," while untangling and examining the complexities, and interrelatedness of societal unity, humanity, diversity and the invasiveness of societal influences in America today. In their words, "Gaining a broader and deeper perspective of this unique time in America's history, and the social and political changes that are occurring, can be life changing. We truly believe that the comfort and clarity, which comes from connecting the dots, and the elimination of the anxiety and confusion, can be both inspirational and uplifting." In the book, the Cobbs introduce and cross-examine, a set of Framing Factors, which influence today's American society. They also deliver an unbiased analysis of the "impacts" these influences have on humanity and kindness within the United States. Common-sense approaches to countering the impacts are proposed as starting points, for those interested in taking on the challenge of becoming a true, people person.
