Healthy Home, Healthy Me: Creating Harmony From the Inside Out -
The accidental result of a collaboration by Margaret A. Harrell and Jef Crab, Stop All the Clocks was conceived when Jef commented about Harrell’s An Underground PRINCIPIA: “My biggest concern is that I have no idea how many people will be able to grasp the depth of the principles you describe. It is amazing enough that you take a lifetime of experiences and connect them into a driving force that leads to the realization of one’s purpose. Even more amazing is that you include the most subtle levels of existence that play a role in these processes . . . Most breathtakingly, by reading An Underground PRINCIPIA, the reader can gain the insight that all of this is happening, not in one lifetime, whether human or universal, but in an eternal now. Amazing achievement.”—Jef Crab, An Underground PRINCIPIA review Why not make that depth accessible? Tell even more stories? Do it in conversations? Reveal tales that neither even knew about the other? Harrell pondered. Why not take the obstacle as a Giant Opportunity? And so this new book was born in conversations on Skype. Miraculously, they needed little editing and fitted neatly into Stop All the Clocks, which Harrell had started writing. Jef stepped in and the conversations that followed sparkled with probing wisdom, as the two simplified ideas, telling of experiences, helping bring about what Jef called a crashing down of the old paradigm. -
Sometimes corporate leaders forget that businesses are human systems. Revenue, innovation, and growth are all generated by human beings. Employees left Corporate America in droves during The Great Resignation of 2021 and 2022—an important wakeup call. But even when companies try to “fix” or improve their culture, a whopping 85% of these efforts fail. Why is this statistic so dismal? Because you can’t put a bandage on a broken culture. As human systems, companies must heal or align from the inside out—one human at a time and starting at the top. The CEO and leadership team must do foundational work to understand what’s driving and shaping behaviors. Only when a culture is intentionally designed can it inspire people to fully engage in strategies and tactics that move the human system forward. What author Margaret Graziano proposes in Ignite Culture is a fundamental shift in leadership’s approach to creating an intentional, healthy, high-performance organization. Offering a unique combination of experiential coaching, evidence-based leadership tools, and actionable strategies, Ignite Culture empowers business leaders with the wisdom and insights they need to reshape their company’s culture, increase employee engagement, and grow revenue in a supportive, high-performance environment. -
David Benjamin pays homage to the exuberance of countless untamed boys who grew up in Middle America at mid-century. Whether he’s stalking snakes in the bogs of Wisconsin, playing four-kid baseball with his bothersome little brother and two favorite cousins, leaping garbage cans for a beautiful little redheaded girl, or joining Chucky Dutcher for a movie marathon at the Erwin Theater, Benjamin is the kind of precocious ironist who would have found a sidekick in Huck Finn. His tales and insights lyrically capture a precious moment in bygone American life, as Benjamin recalls the myriad scrapes, reckless escapades and wanderlust that once made childhood an exhilarating — or terrifying — adventure. -

Have you ever had a resentment toward someone or yourself that just won’t go away? Does it keep you up at night as you toss and turn in anger? If you answered yes to either of these questions, The Art of Forgiveness is a valuable book for you to read. It guides you on a journey that resolves your feelings of resentment. It brings you peace and freedom from resentment, such that you gain a calm and serene attitude. It helps you heal from old wounds you’ve struggled with for years. Using her life as an example, Carolyn CJ Jones shares a little bit about her upbringing and the trauma and abuse she suffers as a child. While at home, she learns to keep a smile on her face and her mouth shut. As an adult, CJ becomes an angry, bitter, blaming victim, and finds fault with everything and everyone. She lets you see how she manages her feelings by drinking and drugging as they deaden the pain she feels. CJ relays the journey that led her to her bottom with her 30-year drinking habit. It was an unrequited love that takes her out. CJ grieved what never was to be for seven years until she discovered five things about the rejection for which she could be grateful. That was a major turning point for her. Throughout The Art of Forgiveness are tidbits of wisdom that CJ learned the hard way throughout her life. Those bits of wisdom are life savers for you to use in your own journey to wholeness. Gratitude plays an important role in the process, as does positivity. CJ shares the YIPPEE Method of Healing that she created to guide you through your difficult feelings to resolve resentment so you can heal. YIPPEE is an acronym that stands for Yearn, Investigate, Process, Practice, Evolve, and Empower. At the end of the Empower stage, you discover you have forgiven the offense, or you are on the verge of forgiveness, and you begin to gain peace. Each section of YIPPEE is powerful as you examine your feelings, your resentment. If you are searching for words, ideas, or wisdom to feel better. -

Sir Isaac Newton famously complained about “action at a distance.” How was it possible, he wrote, that gravity, or attraction, operated between objects without physical contact? Well, jump to the twenty-first century, and we have a lot more to say about that. Readers will enjoy a brilliant, outrageous, playful exploration of quantum physics in everyday life, from a secret interplay of TV plots with us, in electricity, to other speculations, founded in the author’s decades of initiations as well as being an original thinker and a scholar.
An unusual feature of the illustrations in AN UNDERGROUND PRINCIPIA is a technique called “computer-PK,” or mind through matter in the creation of printouts that refocus the text on-screen in the printing so that nothing happens twice. As in Einstein’s “Credo,” the author exemplifies: “The most beautiful and deepest experience [one] can have is the sense of the mysterious.”Even more amazing is that you include the most subtle levels of existence that play a role in these processes. An Underground PRINCIPIA connects life purpose, spirituality, depth psychology, and quantum physics into one all-encompassing movement.
