Unlock the Mystery of Love: Guide to a Healthy Romance
Men and women believe their mate is going to come prepackaged in perfection of love. However, this theory is far from the truth. It takes a conscious effort to build a solid foundation in any relationship and maintain the true essence of love.

Unlock the Mystery of Love provides step-by-step guidance that helps single people attain their relationship goals and find the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.

Mindful Leadership
This book applies the concept of mindfulness to the challenges faced by academic leaders such as department chairs, deans, provosts, presidents or chancellors, and faculty leaders. In addition to instructing academic leaders how to become more mindful, the book also provides clear and practical explanations about what mindful leadership means in the setting of higher education. Unlike other books on mindfulness, this work does not assume that the only pathway to becoming more mindful is meditation. Although meditation is discussed as a technique, the book also presents numerous others strategies for becoming a more mindful leader without a meditation practice. The book is designed for use by individual academic leaders, administrative teams in a retreat, leadership workshops or training programs, and courses in higher education leadership.
