'Freedom In Every Moment:Transcending the Struggles of Daily Life' provides a succinct program of 21 spiritual lessons from early to more advanced stages of spiritual development. Each lesson is rooted in a teaching from an Eastern or Western spiritual tradition, which we believe gives this volume broad appeal. Readers learn how to overcome negative thinking and mood states, how to deal with fears and doubts, what their true identity is, and how to find contentment. The lessons contain timeless teachings and exercises to bring the teachings to life on a daily basis. What is different about this book from other self-help books? First, it is the topics we have selected, which strike at the heart of the daily struggles of those who seek to uplift their mental and emotional states: the nature of the mind, overcoming fear, our purpose in life, and uniting with Higher Consciousness. Second, it is the depth of explanation and information we provide from teachers such as - Lao Tzu, St. Francis, Albert Einstein, among others – and the applicability of the teachings for daily life. Third, it is the types of activities we incorporate, which can make the teachings come alive in minutes per day. Fourth, this book presents a PROGRAM of study; it is not simply a book offering a different teaching each day. Readers who apply the program are expected to notice concrete changes in reducing stress and uplifting their emotional states. Finally, we have synthesized both spiritual and psychological wisdom in a readily understandable format.Freedom in Every Moment is targeted to an audience that includes spiritual seekers, psychotherapy and addictions clients, and the general public. The reader is invited to study a different lesson each day, week, or month. We envision the possibility of a companion workbook, which may be well-suited for persons in addictions recovery centers, for example.

Alt-Vet- The Revolutionary Pet Care and Longevity Solution. explores the alternative therapies that are available to your pet through a network of alternative veterinary medicine practitioners throughout the country, but offers some simple and safe therapies you can do at home with your pet that will them maintain a high level of health and happiness. TCVM is not some new concept- it has been practiced for thousands of years, yet surprisingly, many Americans have not heard of it or tried it with their pet. Alt-Vet contains real life stories of animals that have been brought to my clinic by pet owners that were looking for some hope of saving their animal, reducing their pain, and increasing their quality of life. Many of those pet owners come in skeptics and leave believers. Alt-Vet offers chapters on pet massage, healing diets, and emergency response care. The techniques offered are low cost and simple to implement. It is the goal of this book to inspire pet owners to embrace a holistic lifestyle for their pets and in the process to extend their furry companions' quality of life.

Honest Negotiation

Negotiate your way to success It has been estimated that today, the cost of negotiating the average B2B contract is $16,800. In larger corporations, the annual costs of contract negotiation amount to more than $1.26 billion! On the order of 8.2 billion B2B contracts are signed each year; at least 50% of those require negotiation. Why are those numbers so important? Because research has shown that, on average, 42% of the potential value in negotiated agreements is lost! I’m sure we can agree that negotiating knowledge and skills need improvement! Negotiation is a psychological game between individuals. To play it effectively, you must know the game’s rules. Unfortunately, negotiations often devolve into fights, ending with winners and losers. One negotiator assumes his counterpart’s interests conflict with his own; disagreements, even hostilities arise, leading to deadlocks, lost potential value and needlessly ruined relationships. On the other hand, good negotiations make everyone involved a winner. Intelligent cooperation leads to superior results, great value and stronger, longer-lasting relationships. The energies on both sides of the table combine to build a far bigger pie, then divide it to everyone’s best advantage. This book presents a wealth of down-to-earth negotiating advice, backed by examples from actual negotiations. Every principle presented is drawn from real-world negotiating experience, augmented with reflections on trust, behavioral economics and sound decision making. If you negotiate – whether for contracts, procurement, sales, projects, management, or even in family life – this book is for you. Learned well and followed closely, the principles and advice you’ll find here can open the door to competent, confident and satisfying command of the noble art of negotiation. ”The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low prices is forgotten. The sweetness of good quality remains long after negotiating the right price for both parties.”

In 2014, a small team of San Francisco Bay Area residents was assembled to work on what would be the biggest Super Bowl the NFL had ever staged - the milestone Super Bowl 50. The first Super Bowl in the Bay Area in more than 30 years, there was no municipal purse to tap, nor any roadmap to follow: this group had to develop its own playbook. In Big Game Bigger Impact authors Pat Gallagher and Stephanie Martin chronicle how the members of the San Francisco Bay Area Super Bowl 50 Host Committee came together with the region to not only host a Super Bowl, but also redefine the experience in the process. After the final whistle was blown, Super Bowl 50 was the most giving, most shared and most participatory Big Game to date. Former Host Committee colleagues, Gallagher and Martin provide an insider's look into lessons learned during the Host Committee's two-year run-up - lessons that could benefit any business - and how their culture helped to achieve a record-setting Super Bowl, both on and off the field.
