In The Art of Waking People Up authors Kenneth Cloke and Joan Goldsmith draw on more than thirty years of practical experience with hundreds of organizations-- from Fortune 500 companies to government agencies, schools, and nonprofits-- to reveal new ways of giving and receiving feedback that maximize personal and organizational change and foster lifelong learning. They show how organizations can develop the systems, processes, techniques, and relationships that affirm, rather than undermine, the intelligence and humanity of their employees. This important resource is filled with the necessary tools, interventions, and strategies managers can use to encourage their employees to speak, hear, absorb, and use the information they need to improve the way they work.

The Art of Waking Up- Combine New Findings in Neuroscience With Spiritual Wisdom to Make Lasting Changes-As we write the stories of our lives each day, our life balance is determined by different desires and motivations. This balance is seeded by thoughts, feelings, values and beliefs, which are often unexamined and unconscious. The underlying core of The Art of Waking Up uses neuroscience as the foundation to make lasting changes in our brains and in our lives by changing the negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs we live from. Through a series of journaling questions, called Try It Now Questions, throughout the chapters the reader is guided to explore the negative thoughts and feelings that drive them to do the things they do, and determine where to invest their energy to make changes. The end result is a personally designed 40 day JOURNAL- a template, as the reader comes to understand the interconnection of both science and spirituality-and how that balance of both enhances the ability to connect their own energy more directly to the collective natural flow.Many describe the book as a guide for getting from who you think you are based on what you were taught to believe, to becoming your authentic self- based on your core values. This book asks tough questions designed to uncover the person we know as ourselves in order to find our core.It is my intention in writing this journal to sift through some of this complex information and put it into a format that is easy to read and applicable to individual, real lives. I offer the reader a bigger picture of what is possible in the quest to change negative thoughts and feelings in order to co-create one's life.
2022 Foreword INDIES Award Winner | Silver: Body, Mind Spirit 2023 IPPY Award Winner | Bronze: New Age/Mind, Body, Spirit Hidden in the darkness is an ancient secret suppressed by every aspect of our light-drunk modern world—there is a Great Mother from the bottom of time who has always guided us through perils and calamities. Now is the hour of Her return. “An exigent, affecting summons to rediscover the night.”—Kirkus Reviews Is darkness synonymous with ignorance and evil? Or is it the original matrix from which all life emerges, and the Mother to whom it returns? Higher and higher levels of artificial illumination have suppressed our contact with the numinous since the Industrial Revolution, with dire consequences for society, our planetary ecology, and our souls. This mystical testament weaves together paleobiology, memoir, history, science, and spiritual archaeology to lead readers back into the lost mysteries of the dark. Not since The Teachings of Don Juan or Ishmael has a book diagnosed with such urgency and cultural coherence the problems at the heart of modern life. In Waking Up to the Dark, Clark Strand offers penetrating insight into the spiritual enrichment that can be found when we pull the plug on our billion-watt culture. He argues that the insomnia so many of us experience as “the Hour of the Wolf” is really “the Hour of God”—a wellspring of rest and renewal, and an ancient reservoir of ancestral wisdom and inspiration. And in a powerful yet surprising turn, he shares with us an urgent message for the world, received through a mysterious young woman he calls Our Lady of Climate Change (aka THE VIRGIN MARY), about the challenges we all know are coming.

Is there more to Buddhism than sitting in silent meditation? Is modern Buddhism relevant to the problems of daily life? Does it empower individuals to transform their lives? Or has Buddhism become too detached, so still and quiet that the Buddha has fallen asleep? Waking the Buddha tells the story of the Soka Gakkai International, the largest, most dynamic Buddhist movement in the world today—and one that is waking up and shaking up Buddhism so it can truly work in ordinary people’s lives. Drawing on his long personal experience as a Buddhist teacher, journalist, and editor, Clark Strand offers broad insight into how and why the Soka Gakkai, with its commitment to social justice and its egalitarian approach, has become a role model, not only for other schools of Buddhism, but for other religions as well. Readers will be inspired by the struggles and triumphs of the Soka Gakkai’s three founding presidents—individuals who staked their lives on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and the extraordinary power of those teachings to help people become happy.
p>When they say there are only 5 oceans on the planet, people often forget that for the XXI century human, there is always an extra ocean that one can hardly find on the map. The ocean of information. There is so much data being produced every day that if one doesn't take a conscious approach to it, they can find themselves drowning in the waters of novelty. Every day YouTube gets 4 million hours of new content, Twitter gets 682 million tweets, and Instagram gets over 67 million new posts. In the world of an overwhelming excess of information, sometimes we forget to take a moment and reflect on our lives. Although Google can help you find the best Mexican restaurant in your city, it can never answer the question of your being. The why of life. Even if it is convenient to hide behind multiple TV shows and social media, the excessive dopamine you receive won't make these questions disappear: ○What do you wake up for? ○What makes you get out of bed and live your life? ○What is the main goal you are aiming towards? This book is a self-help guide that approaches your life through the way you wake up: how you prepare to go to bed, the room you get to wake up, and so on. It consists of 2 parts: Body & Spirit. In which you will learn how to balance between the physical and spiritual realms. You will explore the world of healthy habits that can significantly improve your mornings as well as the mindset approach that can positively change your attitude towards life. The main goal of this book is to wake you up to the miracle we call life and make you curious again.
Matthew Sanford's inspirational story about the car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down is a superbly written memoir of healing and journey—from near death to triumphant life. Matt Sanford's life and body were irrevocably changed at age 13 on a snowy Iowa road. On that day, his family's car skidded off an overpass, killing Matt's father and sister and left him paralyzed from the chest down, confining him to a wheelchair. His mother and brother escaped from the accident unharmed but were left to pick up the pieces of their decimated family. This pivotal event set Matt on a lifelong journey, from his intensive care experiences at the Mayo Clinic to becoming a paralyzed yoga teacher and founder of a nonprofit organization. Forced to explore what it truly means to live in a body, he emerges with an entirely new view of being a "whole" person. By turns agonizingly personal, philosophical, and heartbreakingly honest, this groundbreaking memoir takes you inside the body, heart, and mind of a boy whose world has been shattered. Follow Sanford's journey as he rebuilds from the ground up, searching for "healing stories" to help him reconnect his mind and his body. To do so, he must reject much of what traditional medicine tells him and instead turn to yoga as a centerpiece of his daily practice. He finds not only a better life but also meaning and purpose in the mysterious distance that we all experience between mind and body. In Waking, Sanford delivers a powerful message about the endurance of the human spirit and of the body that houses it.
