Do you want better conversations with your lover, your colleagues at work, your family, friends or strangers, or yourself? Conversation explains what kind of talk charmed and excited people in the past, and why we talk differently today. It explores the art and the history of conversation and how it can be the key to a happier, more interesting future. It shows how women have changed the ways lovers speak, how families avoid silence or boredom, how your work can damage or improve the way you converse, and what role there is for the tongue-tied and shy. This book will enable you to see more clearly what you want to talk about, and what conversation can do to your life.

Life hands us dirty deals. No one knows this better than Barbara Hansen-author, college professor, and paraplegic since age nineteen. When she talks about clawing through life's lousy times, every page rings with authenticity. And when she talks about finding peace and joy despite life's dirty deals, every page shines with hope. Her experience forms the core of this guide to healing and wholeness, together with stories of her former and current students, her friends, her readers, and her workshop and lecture attendees. From all these sources she's developed practical strategies for finding true happiness.
Happiness comes from choices and attitudes, anchors that from an inner strength that remains solid despite life's roller-coaster ups and downs. Hansen reveals what these choices and attitudes are and how to cultivate them till they become habits of joy.

The Art of Spiritual Rock Gardening is an inspiring and practical guide for both garden lovers and spiritual seekers. The uses of the rock garden as a site of beauty, reflection and spiritual nourishment are many. Building a quiet corner of stones and plants slowly and meditatively over time is its true meaning. Process over product, journey over destination, forever a work in progress -- rock is the best metaphor we have of everlastingness.
From choosing the right rocks and plants to weeding and night gardening, this book shows how to start or maintain a rock garden, whether one has access to actes of land in the country or a window shelf in the city. At the same time it describes the sacred meaning of stones and rocks in many of the world's cultures and spiritual traditions, including Stonehenge and Ayers Rock, the Western Wall in Jerusalem and the Ka'ba in Mecca, Japan's Zen gardens, Europe's cathedrals, America's temples and Egypt's pyramids. Both practical and inspirational, it will appeal to everyone who loves gardens, rocks and the transforming power of nature.

Many in the workforce are experiencing a nagging, difficult-to-pinpoint frustration-a growing sense of being too driven, with little or no time for family, important relationships or other personal values. They long for a greater sense of fulfillment and spiritual growth in what they are doing.
Your Soul at Work addresses these concerns in two ways: It uses universally agreed concepts of spirituality as a framework and places the process of career planning into this larger viewpoint. It goes on to present a number of very practical, workshop-proven tools and techniques, including a detailed Career and Life Workbook.
Nicholas Weiler and Stephen Schoonover, two seasoned career experts, present a strategy that has been fine-tuned and used very successfully for many years in a broad spectrum of career specialties across the world, including such Fortune 500 companies as IBM, AT&amp;T, Hewlett-Packard, Lockheed Martin, General Electric, Citibank, Xerox, Sun Microsystems, Sprint, Eastman Kodak, Apple and Pfizer.
