Words from the Earth Playground

Our "why" is always there! It is always playing out through us. It is the core of our motivation and why we are drawn to other people and products. The funny thing is we tend to focus on our 'what' or 'how', and have trouble calling our core values and reasons to mind. This book helps illustrate the importance of our 'why' and helps you get there. Enjoy! 

Known widely for her research and expert ability to convey the relevance of vulnerability in every area of our lives, Brene Brown focuses this into the field of Leadership for "Dare to Lead". Here I do my best to sum up the key themes - it's well worth reading as she brings together a lot of stories from her past books. Also on her website there are a ton of resources which complement this valuable work.

Enjoy! 

"The Work" has supported me so much - it is as powerful as it is simple. In this review I take you through Katie's process of "Inquiry" - how and why it works. You can use this on ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. Enjoy!

The Dark Side of the Light Chasers is in my opinion one of the most important self-development books out there. We miss and deny so much of ourselves as part of life and the spiritual path, and this book helps identify that and for us to reclaim aspects of ourselves...that we can find an even greater light inside us. You can tell I like it!

John Van Auken wrote this book in 1993, compiling segments of Cayce's writings with his own commentary about the human body. I had never come across this book before and it is an interesting take and presentation of Cayce's messages. Enjoy!

"Unconditional Parenting" by Alfie Kohn is a groundbreaking approach to parenting that gives parents powerful alternatives to help children become their most caring, responsible selves. Even if you don’t have children or if they are grown, this book connects dots and explains what leads some of our current behaviors and choices. Alfie has written prolifically on the subject of shifting from punishment/reward (doing to), to more of a 'working with' relationship with our children. He is humorous and unapologetic in this! Enjoy!
