LEARN TO LOVE LIFE! We live in a world of endless contradictions. Work vs. family. Money vs. fulfillment. Desires vs. obligations. The body vs. the spirit. We rely on conventional wisdom to point us forward. But conventional wisdom gets it wrong more often than we imagine. Open this book and celebrate the marriage between the greatest collection of verbal images in history - King Solomon's Book of Proverbs - and the most famous visual image in the world - Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. - Find tranquility in the midst of conflict - Develop attitudes that deepen relationships - Gain clarity through times of darkness and confusion - Decrease cynicism and find joy in the daily miracles that fill our lives Take a guided tour beneath the surface of the world we live in through the lens of news stories, historical vignettes, folktales, the wonders of nature, and the discoveries of science -- all woven together in a lyrical and surprising medley of the human experience. Researchers have no explanation why people, when blindfolded, can't walk a straight line; but what is it about human nature that makes us wander in circles? What does former NYC Mayor Bloomberg's plan to ease Manhattan traffic with "congestion pricing" reveal about the way we make decisions? What can fig harvesting, migraine headaches, and two Miss America titleholders teach us about the underpinnings of emotional well-being? The answers to 3000 years' of questions are here, revealed for every seeker of truth and self-awareness in the language of our modern era. Guided by the wisdom of Solomon and the mysteries of the Mona Lisa, learn how to find tranquility in the midst of chaos, how to savor the moments of everyday life, and how to resolve the paradoxes of the human heart. "Real definitions of love and happiness are provided in a blend of proverbs and analysis that will delight those thinkers who want a lively discourse of possibilities and alternative visions." Midwest Book Review

What is ethical affluence?-Winning the race without ruining your name.-Reaching the top without throwing others over the cliff.-Achieving your dreams without selling your soul.Good intentions are a good start; but there's a famous road paved with those. Small problems grow into large problems, and large problems lead to disaster. But if little problems swell into tsunamis, why can't little fixes turn the tide?Sometimes, you need a plan. Other times, all you need is a reminder to do what you already know you should be doing. Practice becomes habit, and good habits are the recipe for real, positive change.These pages will introduce you to a practical system of ethics, communication, and personal responsibility that will transform any professional or social community into one defined by engagement, enthusiasm, and prosperity.

Grappling with the Gray offers a collection of case studies, real and hypothetical, intended to ignite thoughtful consideration of ethical dilemmas in our personal and professional lives. Simply stated, a business culture driven by profits at the expense of values is destined to fail. Research shows that companies ranked highest for ethics grow faster than companies that aren't. Work environments are more pleasant. Employees are more satisfied, engaged, loyal, passionate, and productive. Turnover costs are less. Brand image shines. Cultivating a culture of ethics is the time-tested formula for spectacular success. The thought questions and discussions that follow each case study offer the opportunity to develop the ethical mindset that enables us to see the bigger picture, engage in civil debate, and work effectively toward consensus. Raising our ethical awareness ultimately produces a culture where compliance laws take care of themselves and a workforce that feels empowered, appreciated, and invested in a common vision that accelerates success.
