This book is the journal of Rosemary Langheldt who left her job and home in San Francisco to serve with the Red Cross in London and then Germany. The story is told through letters home and journal entries, and both are highly informative and well written missives. Mrs. Norwalk recreates what it was like to live in England during the last year of the war. She is an empathetic observer of the many tens of thousands of men (boys) who stop briefly at her Clubmobile for a donut and a cup of coffee after disembarking in England and re-embarking for the fight on the Continent. Once Rosemary is transferred to Germany, she sees firsthand the near destruction of many German cities. Her writings are true to the time: these people were our enemies a short time ago and they tried to kill the boys who I helped serve. It also offers an honest appraisal of the Occupation where the black market made many Americans rich. This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to know about life in England after the Allied landings in June 1944 and the early days of the occupation in Germany.

Rosemary Norwalk left ardent swains and professional position to become a "doughnut dolly" with the American Red Cross. This University of California graduate and San Francisco native brings a disciplined eye to the social climate and
the broad spectrum of Americans thrown together by World War II. Following training in Washington, D.C. where she had to be restrained from sitting in the back of the bus, to commentary on the bravery of the ordinary Londoner under the buzz bombs, to experiences managing the large operation at a major port, she is insightful and forthright. Her many letters home are tied together with good historical notes on military operations and progress of the war. Mistitled a love story, it is instead a story of women who dared to step up and take on great responsibility for providing troop support both departing and returning through Britain. An example: A new"girl" arrives and one of the current Red Cross "girls" rushes to Rosemary with misgivings over her attitude and different looks. " The new girl announces: I'm Lil...I'm a Jew and I'm from Brooklyn and I don't like to take orders.' It was a challenge, not a greeting. I took a deep breath in the silence, then stuck out my hand and smiled. I hoped cordially. 'Welcome, Lil. I'm a gentile, I'm from San Francisco, and,' I groped for the right words, 'I don't like to give orders, so we ought to get along fine.' "

This is a wonderful book that I enjoyed the entire time I was reading it. It is one of those treasures of American history that should be read by anyone interested in WWII history. It is valuable look at the war from the perspective of an American Red Cross volunteer stationed in England. Not a nurse, as the author points out as the usual assumption, but one of those moral boosting "doughnut dollies" that sometimes were the last friendly female face a soldier would see before embarking for the battlefields of Europe.
Mrs. Norwalk was a wonderfully skilled writer at the time she wrote the letters and journal entries that make up the book. And the book is equally well crafted and edited, giving a detailed look at the work of the Red Cross workers on the docks of Southampton, England, their everyday lives and yes romances as the subtitle implies. It also includes personal photographs taken at the time.
An interesting item on page 99 is a list that explains the code used by the Red Cross to communicate the number of ships arriving or leaving, their sailing dates, and the number of soldiers to expect so they would be prepared and have enough volunteers, coffee, and doughnuts for them.
My sincerest thanks to Mrs. Norwalk (now deceased)for sharing this personal history with us, it reminds me very much of the letters my father wrote my mother during WWII that I have published into a book entitled: All My Love, Forever: Letters Home From A WWII Citizen Soldier. - Dale Lane

I picked up "Dearest Ones" in a discount store and didn't expect much. There's a certain sameness to the World War II diaries of young women: young woman from small town bucks convention, kisses parents good-bye, and runs off to get liberated. She has some very mild adventures, makes a lot of friends, says "gee golly whiz" a lot, and swans on home at the end of the book. A postscript informs us that she settled down with a man named Bob or Hank or Earl, of whom we heard absolutely nothing in the course of the book except for a few mentions of "letters from So-and-So in the South Pacific," and is living somewhere in the midwest near her three grown children.

Boy, was I surprised, and pleasantly so. Perhaps it helps that Rosemary Langheldt was older, in her mid-twenties, and already a career woman when she applied to join the Red Cross overseas. It also helps that she seems to have been a very curious and thoughtful person. As other reviews have mentioned, she takes notice not only of the glitz and fun of work abroad, but of Britain's sometimes stifling class distinctions, American racial prejudice, and the difficult moral compromises involved in the occupation of Germany. There is also plenty of romance, fun, and gee-golly-whiz adventure, but one never gets the sense that Rosemary lost track of her primary reasons for being in the Red Cross or saw her job as a mere means of adventure. Rather, she was there to work and the adventure happened along the way.

She was keenly interested in other people, making this book a pleasure to read-- it can be incredibly frustrating to read a diary when the only "character" the diarist is able to make three-dimensional is the diarist herself. She had a skill for interacting with people (I get the sense that I would never in a million years have been able to handle her job) and trying to understand them, and that curiosity and interest in humanity permeates the whole book. (I also feel compelled to mention, as a reader, that I really appreciated the narrative cohesiveness of this book. If someone is introduced, then they will be around until a reason for their departure is given. A lot of diaries suffer from people and events appearing, disappearing, reappearing, necessitating either a lot of head-scratching or awkward footnotes. This book doesn't have that problem. Rosemary was a really excellent correspondent.) This is really a stellar example of the genre, probably one of the best I've read.

I came across this book at a local bookstore and thought it was a very touching and well-written account of love during wartime. As the author lived in my area, I was able to meet her and have her sign my copy. I'm so glad I did as she passed away August 22, 2002. What a great keepsake for her family and a wonderful book for the rest of us. So if you've been meaning to write your memoirs, don't put it off! It may not ever be listed on Amazon but it would probably mean a lot to your loved ones.

Tricia Molloy has taken spiritual principles and presented them in a real-world context. It will inspire even the most pragmatic leaders to see their power and their possibilities for producing extraordinary results.

The book is easy to read and its lessons are easy to absorb, all of which makes it an excellent resource for those seeking to apply spiritual principles in a business setting. Even if you sense that you have "heard some of this before" the question you must ask is "but have I applied it in my life?" If the answer is no, then Tricia's book will certainly help you.

She has a gift for writing in an accessible style (what one reviewer termed "gentle" - an excellent description) and for taking principles that others have made into lofty, intellectually complex ideas and reducing them to practices that are easy to implement, even for over-worked corporate types.

One additional note is that individuals or leaders who work in larger corporations should not be concerned about the reference to "entrepreneurs" in her sub-title. This book is for anyone in the business world that is looking for ways to bring more spirit, more life, and even more sanctity and peace to their working world.

Buy this book, read a chapter a week, and resolve to take action on the inspired ideas it will generate. I have no doubt that it will change your life.


Jim Huling, author of Choose Your Life!: A Powerful, Proven Method for Creating the Life You Want

First off, this book is for everyone. I was amazed to see so many financial, emotional, and time management techniques packed into such an easy-to-read book. Tricia gives you exercises and ideas for increasing your productivity as well as the savings in your bank account. I was stunned at how quickly I read this book.

Tricia has done a vast amount of research to bring you the 10 principles of an abundant and successful life. Her chapters are chock full of quotes from different books and people that she has read and interviewed so you not only get her take on each topic, but you're in the discussion with at least five to eight other individuals on the same principle.

My favorite chapters were: Principle 4, Clean Out the Clutter: The Universe will Fill the Vacuum, and Principle 10: Give Thanks Often: Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude. I focus on these two chapters because they are so pivotal to having a financially secure life. Most folks forget how all these topics effect your view and choices on money, and what Tricia does is demonstrate how changing your environment from clutter to clean brings you more energy and time (at least 2 hours a day says the research) to be productive with what is really important to you.

Giving thanks often is something that has brought me many new clients, opportunities and joys in life. So all the advice Tricia gives in Chapter 10 I heartily recommend to others because I've seen the positive results first hand with my own experiences. By expressing my happiness to others in thanking them for their assistance, the Universe turns around and continues to shower me with the very things for which I am grateful! It's crazy! It's abundance! And it is how Life works. Tricia does a great job of explaining this.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to break out of their negative rut in a simple yet positive way. Sure, the titel says the principles are for entrepreneurs, but I have found that the truths talked about are just as viable for the stay-at-home-mom, teacher, construction worker, or medical professional. It really doesn't matter what you do for income. If you are working, this book is for you!

Janine Bolon, author, Money...It's Not Just for Rich People!

One of my closest friends heard Tricia Molloy speak last year and was so enchanted that she bought her book for me as a gift. What a delightful surprise this book has been!

I read about 2 books a week, many in the "how to make your life better" genre, and am often disappointed to hear the exact same information over and over, slightly rehashed. This book is a refreshing change. It is organized around 10 key principles, with a chapter devoted to fleshing out each one.

Several of the chapters are pretty unique and exceptionally helpful. My favorite was the chapter on "cleaning out the clutter" to rid yourself of many of life's annoyances and to make space for more good things to come in. This chapter has had a huge impact on me and I have been on a "clean it up and get it out" mentality thanks to Molloy's influence.

There is another excellent chapter on tapping into your own inner guidance with some very specific information on meditation and prayer to guide you as you learn to seek this inner guidance. There is an excellent section on forgiveness and opening up mental space in your life.

There are excellent chapters on using the law of attraction, visualizing, affirming your success, and expressing gratitude. The entire book is delightful to read and chock full of points that had me saying to myself, "I never thought of it that way, what a good point!"

Overall an enjoyable read and a book I intend to reread regularly.

I read this book in order to interview Tricia for my podcast Writers in the Sky (iTunes). Tricia's thinking is right on track with mine. I enjoyed being reminded of the Universal Laws and how to apply them on the job. Whether you are self-employed or working in corporate, you can use these spiritual truths to create the life you desire.

There are plenty of books out there on how to work "smart" . . . how to succeed as an entrepreneur using intelligent business tactics and savvy selling strategies. But this book encourages you to take advantage of something much more valuable and reliable than that---the divine wisdom that speaks to you through your own intuition. From trusting your own intuitive guidance, to adopting an attitude of gratitude, this wonderful book shares 10 spiritual principles that can help you create, manage, and grow your business with divine ease. But you don't have to take this author's word for it, because also included here are dozens of stories and examples about how these ancient truths have worked for some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs and corporate executives. If you are in the process of building your own business, you would be smart to read this book. Correction . . . you would be wise to read this book!

Steven Lane Taylor, author of Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide For Living Life In The Divine Flow

This little book offers a lot of information for a small price tag. So many things us "germ freaks" had not even considered are covered in this well written book. I had to buy one for myself and one for my daughter because I knew we would want to be able to have our own copy to refer to later. A good investment to make us aware of all the information this book cover in a clever manner.

Allison Janses' "The Germ Freak's Guide to Outwitting Colds and Flu" could also have been titled " A Consciousness Raiser for the Germ Awareness Challenged." Before I read the book, I didn't realize how little I knew about those little guys who can, and all too often do,cause anything from annoying colds to life threatening illnesses. What I found most enlightening where the sections dealing with the various places that they congregate. The book is very well organized and written in a witty, entertaining style. As a psychologist,I couldn't help but notice that the author is writing from a genuine place of caring and concern for the welfare of others. A change in behavior requires a compelling reason to approach things differently. "The Germ Freak's Guide to Outwitting Colds and Flu" accomplishes that mission in a wonderful manner.

I love this book. It has great tips and cleaning suggestions even if you're not a germ freak.

I bought this book hoping for some good background information that would allow me to extrapolate my own germ-freak tips - like more information on how, precisely, germs live and spread. I wanted some scientific information, at least a little bit, about how it all works!

I didn't get that, but what I did get was pretty darn good. This book is jam-packed with tips about avoiding germy people, how not to touch nasty things, socially acceptable things to say to avoid doing germy things that people always seem to want to do, and new cleaning and washing tips to help stop the germs.

While I was expecting something more than I got, I am still darn happy with the book and would highly recommend it. It was fun and easy to read and I did get a LOT of new tips out of it. Nobody likes to get sick and this book will help you avoid it.

This is a great book to help prevent you and your family from getting sick. When I brought my premature twins home from the hospital I was told it was very important to keep them from getting sick that first year because they were at such a high risk for contracting RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) which can be fatal. This book helped keep the germs away. Despite the unpleasant subject, it is a fun read. The author is really funny.

I am physician and in all of my years of training, I was never taught the valuable information I found in this book. Please don't expect your pediatricians to know about this either- it is not taught to us although it NEEDS to be.

This book is a resource guide on all the things you need to know about creating a healthy environment for your family. There are many things I never knew about- like the dangers of chemicals we are exposed to on a regular basis. I just assumed that if it was sold in the US it was safe- unforunately, this is far from true.
Similarly, I used to think that ORGANIC was just better for the environment but it is so much better for US by decreasing the amount of exposure we have to chemicals used in growing and processing things like cotton. Although I am not revamping my life, this book has taught me to make simple changes that directly effect my daughter's health and well being... Like keeping the windows open for some part of every day, using safe cleaning supplies, using organic mattress pads and linens, and eating only organic chicken, eggs and milk. I have a ways to go but this book has taught me HOW IMPORTANT it is for me to be conscious of what my daughter is exposed to and what she eats.

Christopher Gavigan does an excellent job of breaking down the science so that is clear to the reader. SO that we understand WHY it is important to make the changes to a cleaner, healthier life.

I am making these changes not only for my daugher, but for my husband and I, and I encourage you to do the same.

This is an excellent book that has changed my life- and it could do the same for you. Buy it, read it- and educate your family on how to live a cleaner, healthier life.
(And maybe you can teach YOUR doctor some of these things too!)

Natalia Rodriguez Goldman, MD

I have read several books and articles on "green living" over the past couple of years and I think this is one of the best. It discusses so many aspects of living a healthier, safer life and gives many practical solutions to cleaning up our own environments to benefit us and the earth. It has inspired to me to take further steps beyond what I've already done to make a greener, safer home for my family.
One thing I did not like about this book was the personal stories added in each chapter. While it's nice to learn that some of our Hollywood elite are concerned with ecology issues, it frustrated me to read their stories. They make it sound so easy and practical to just trash everything you own and start from scratch with organic mattresses, flooring, furniture, etc. It's hard enough for me to budget for all the organic food and natural health products I buy; there is no way I could feasibly do everything the contributing celebrities are able to do.
Overall though, I thought this book was well-written, very interesting, well-researched.

great book with tons of practical tips on living green. even if you don't have kids, this book is a good resource for simply living a healthier lifestyle while doing your part to protect the environment. would make a GREAT gift for new parents.

I feel like I am well read on this topic. I learned alot and many useful, pratical tips. Its also written very well for those new to the topic. I made many notes and made a to-do list. I highly recommend!

While the target audience for this book is people living with or expecting children, anyone who wants to minimize their exposure to environmental toxins or pollutants would find it very useful. I am expecting my first child in the fall and before reading this book, I considered myself fairly knowledgeable about what's in the world around us but I have learned so much!

The approach is not preachy but rather educational, and in fact early on in the book is the statement "No one can do everything. Everyone can do something." So even if small changes are made in one's household, health will be improved.

After an introductory chapter, the book covers limiting exposures to toxins in the following settings: while pregnant, cleaning the home, choosing foods, beauty and hygiene, kid's toys, gardening, air and water, pet care, home renovation, and lastly, putting it all together. Information is presented in each chapter as a series of steps, and readers can make the changes suggested in one or all steps.

Within each chapter are several sidebars written by either celebrities or others knowledgeable on the subject. Personally, I like these stories because they show how people (albeit rich people...) can incorporate the suggestions. Many times, the writers of the stories will discuss making a few major changes, but pointing out that another area hasn't been changed for certain reasons. It made me realize that I don't have to do everything to improve the living conditions in my home.

I highly recommend this book. It's an interesting read and websites are given for those who want even more in-depth information.

An excellent step through Cisco networking. This book begins with the definition and ends with future development. All aspects of high speed networks are covered along the way.

John has succeeded in making the whole complicated area of what happens behind the computer seem easy to understand. He has explained how to use technology to one's advantage and understand the value of doing so. A well recommended read.

I gave the book as a gift to a friend who is the CIO of an ISP and I know he went out , bought 10 more copies for all of his managers and thanked me with a note saying the John Vacca book is a God sent for his business. What more can I say

With the rapid advances in technology, upgrading of high speed networks will occur sooner rather than latter. High-Speed Cisco Networks by John Vacca provides experienced networking professionals with a step by step approach to all they will need to know about Cisco's LAN and WAN systems. It is the reference tool to use to understand the Cisco products so that planning, designing and implementing a high performance LAN or WAN system can commence.

I have been working in IT & network support for some years now, and am currntly untaking the Cisco Acadmey programs. This book turned up at the right time, as it explains things with greater clarity than anything else I have found. The presentation is logical and of a linear manner, making this my first choice in reference material, for both my studies and professional undertakings.

Read this book while its still available! Its language is so simple yet it touches you with a ferocity thats unthinkable!
I could relate to every charecter and that was the most freaky part!

The charecters in this book are rich and full of life. The plot is very engaging and what more can one say about a book thats so beautiful it makes you weep with joy!

Bravo Leavitt and the rest of you read it!

While not as good as his short stories, and awkward and somewhat amateurish in a few places, this is a good, strong first novel. Ideally I would give this one a 3.5, but since that's not an option, I'll err on the side of generosity. This novel explores coming out, family dynamics, and the selfish yuppie attitudes of the 80s.

This book was given to me by a co-worker who believed the subject matter and story would interest me. She was right. There are so many different issues dealt with in this book ranging from the struggle for sexual identity to the struggle of sharing it with you family.....to the ups and downs of living a life that is full of oppression and worry. There are many characters here with many different backgrounds. There is Phillip, the young gay man struggling to win acceptance from his mother. Elliott who fears commitment and leaves Phillip. Owen, Phillip's father who has to come to terms with his own sexual identity after years of marriage and living his life without being true to himself. Then there is Jerene who is basically disowned because of her homosexuality which is so common in this day and age and extremely sad. NO parent should ever do this to their child!!!!! UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is key! Jerene's new girlfriend Laura.....it is just a well written story on all levels.......my only complaint was the ending. There was no real closure. Other than that, I loved it!

Author David Leavit writes a brillant novel that I had a hard time putting down. While Phillip is confronting his changing relationship with his lover, Elliot, his father Owen is finally, confronting his homosexuality. Highly recommended. Each character is richly developed and textured, they feel like real people that you know. While the film is good, it uses London as a backdrop rather than the book's all-to-real-modern-urban life set in New York and in the transistion looses something.

I read this book for a class, and enjoyed it much more than I ever expected, especially in retrospect. I think it takes a little time to really get into, especially because Leavitt jumps back and forth between the three main characters and storylines, but once you get into the rhythm of the story, you are drawn in. Leavitt does a great character study of Owen, Rose, and Philip, and by the end of the novel, I felt like I knew them. Leavitt has an accessible wrting style, but the book itself is very literary and complex. For a first novel, especially, I think it's exceptional.

This book's pictures are worth a thousand words.
Such a spendid biography of Maggie. Very characteristic of the basset hound.
A must-have for the Basset owner on any Christmas list.

Harley riders have a saying -- "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand."

Simply put, Bill Stanton has captured the love and wisdom gathered by sharing your world with one of God's true masterpieces.

This is a book so good, it made me angry I didn't have the idea myself!

Bill Stanton has truely captured the spirit of my dog in this wonderful pictorial of Maggie. What a great picture book, it never fails to make me smile. I highly recommend this book to anyone who owns or is considering a basset hound as a family member.

This book is a wonderful look at life from the Basset's perspective. The pictures are delightful and the text perfect. Can't say enough good things about Maggie's Way.

Ok, everytime I see this cover I smile. Genuinely, smile. Maybe it's because I own a bassett/beagle and it's all so familiar. This book is ADORABLE! The pictures are awesome, plentiful and Maggie-nificent. Definate coffee table book for the beagle or bassett lover. Great gift idea too. You cant look at this book and NOT smile. It's contagious.

It is a must read for business managers on how to improve communication within your teams and with co-workers. Very insightful for anyone who is looking for more out of life or their job. It is very cleverly written and Joel uses humor to bring key points home to the reader. Warning to people who will read this book in a public place, I laughed out loud.

this is not only a very helpful buisness book , but a very ,very entertaining book as well..I have actually read it twice!!!
get this book...for buisness or pleasure...

Reading Joel's book and taking his message to heart is exactly the right choice - for me, for you, and for everyone you care about. An awesome "ta-da" to Joel and a big thank you for your insight.

Zeff's conversational writing sytle is a powerful combination of a straight forward insights mixed with humor. Painting vivid pictures, Zeff engages the reader and draws them into the book. He provides a new perspective on corporate America along with concrete examples, suggestions, and methodologies that the reader can immediately use to leverage this insight and effect change. The writing is clear, crisp, and concise.

Joel Zeff wrote a great book. It was humorous, insightful, & an amazingly quick read. I'd almost take off one star for the book being too short but I found that each chapter was the perfect length as a Daily Insight or for a brief mental healthy snack in between meetings. I also found myself writing little notes in the margins as I was reading. I recommend that you do the same and apply the exercises inside to your own particular situation. It works nicely.

"Mayo Clinic Family Health Book" covers nearly everything that takes place in life from preconception to death. Diagnostic and treatment advice is easy to read and accentuated with diagrams and photos.

FOUND THE GENERAL INFORMATION OF SPECIFIC DISEASES AND ITS POSSIBLE TREATMENTS. VERY GOOD AND PRECISE INFORMATION.

We purchased the Mayo Clinic Eeference guide to serve as a family medical book. We are very pleased with the descriptions and information about comon medical issues. I highly recommend this book for individuals who want more information about common and not so common medical difficulties.

This is a book no household should be without. Very informative and helpfull. The index is great and the information is to the point... Excellent photos and drawings. Only drawback: a bit bulky!

The Mayo Family Health book is a "wealth of information."
My husband recently became ill and was hospitalized. We were able to pinpoint symptoms in the book which helped us along with our health provider get appropriate testing and treatment for his condition.

With healthcare today, we must be "informed consumers".
I have worked nearly 35 years in clinical laboratory medicine and I still learn something new everyday....this book certainly helps.

After I read this I wanted to go out and start a business even though I am retired. ThenI discovered that these principles work just as well in my relationships and in my everyday life. wnat a gift John Adams has given us.

With this book, John Adams gives us principles and practices that can serve us not only in our professional lives but in our personal lives as well. In fact, Adams recognizes that there should indeed be no separation of values between life and work, and offers what amounts to a handbook of spiritual practice for our whole selves.

Loved MIRACLES AT WORK by John A. Adams, a self-taught entrepreneur who built
a $3.5 million cleaning company after being fired as an
air traffic controller with the Federal Aviation Administration.

He then sold this business in 1996 to follow his real passion
of helping others by writing this book and beginning Life Without
Limits, a Connecticut-based business development company . . . he
now travels throughout the country sharing his message that you
should "Remember . . . always expect miracles because . . .
something wonderful is about to happen!"

My only complaint with the book is its subtitle: BUILDING YOUR
BUSINESS FROM THE SOUL UP . . . it implies that this is
primarily to be read by those looking to begin a business, and
methinks that it is so much more than that . . . I see it is a self-help
book that will inspire anybody seeking to fulfill his or her potential.

While there are many useful business examples, I found there were
even more valuable tidbits taken from Adams' life . . . I was inspired
by how he was able to get past his bad times and not let them get
him down . . . also, I liked how he learned from virtually every
experience he has encountered.

Among the many insights that I gained from reading MIRACLES AT
WORK were the following:

* Ask yourself whether your "Crazymaker" [a term coined by Julia
Cameron in THE ARTIST'S WAY] have not helped you, in some way,
to become a better individual. Mine have. Think about those in your
life against whom you hold a grudge. Then release yourself from the
burden of resentment and anger you carry by forgiving them. Then
begin a process of self-forgiveness and start to enjoy a feeling of
liberation. "Not so easy?" Okay, don't forgive them--bless them,
as Pope John Paul did, as he faced his would-be assassin in his
prison cell. The Pontiff knows that the power of forgiveness lies in
releasing your heart to God by seeing the goodness in every human being.

* When Admiral Hyman Rickover was asked about his climb from
obscurity to Chief Naval Officer in charge of nuclear operations, he
simply pointed to those in great need, the imprisoned, the homeless,
the poor, and said, "There, but for the grace of God, go I." We are
blessed to be in a place where we are building our own business. That
is Grace. Grace also comes into our lives by helping others.

* Love is the most powerful energy in the universe--much greater than
all the destructive force our egos could hope to muster. All these
Principles and Practices depend upon love. It is the starting point,
the meaning and purpose for being and the solution to our most
pressing problems.

Am amazing thing occurs when you give love. Because it follows
the spiritual laws of the universe rather than the dictates of this
finite world, it increases. The more you give away, the more you
have to give.

John Adams has not only written an important book -- he has written something inspiring which is also a lot of fun to read. As a magazine editor, I'm deluged with books and getting "important, inspiring and fun" in one volume is no easy undertaking.

John's book is a wonderful guide for anyone in business. Not only does it present a different way of doing business, but it also provides suggestions about living life on a higher plane. His book combines the wisdom of A Course in Miracles, The Artist's Way, 12 Steps, Wayne Dyer, The Four Agreements, and other spiritual guides, with his own experiences in the business world. The result is a blueprint for starting and running a values-based business. When I read it I felt inspired spiritually as well as grounded in strength and reality. I have recently left the "security" of teaching in public schools to start my own business. I am making new choices in my life based on this book. John's book is truly an inspiration and a book I will read more than once. Thank you, John!
