Deepening Community
Community shapes our identity, quenches our thirst for belonging, and bolsters our physical, mental, emotional, and economic health. But in the chaos of modern life, community ties have become unraveled, leaving many feeling afraid or alone in the crowd, grasping at shallow substitutes for true community. In this thoughtful and moving book, Paul Born describes the four pillars of deep community: sharing our stories, taking the time to enjoy one another, taking care of one another, and working together for a better world. To show the role each of these plays, he shares his own stories—as a child of refugees and as a longtime community activist. It’s up to us to create community. Born shows that the opportunity is right in front of us if we have the courage and conviction to pursue it.
Life Is a Drama, Be Calmer
Tom Stodulka is a fantastic poet. He is a great humanitarian whose style and themes are his own expression of our collective whole. His unbridled passion to explore and understand our mysteries and truths is truly refreshing, revealing, and reassuring. To read Tom's poetry is like a front row seat-or even a backstage pass-to a level of grace and gratitude to the joys, difficulties and hopes we all experience. -Justin Bergelin, poet This companion uplifts as only the poet is able to do.

"Behaviour change is a hot topic in many fields nowadays, from public health to marketing to web design to architecture and public policy. However, there is little consensus about how to approach it: there are over 100 change theories in health psychology alone, and the field of behavioural economics has over 100 'nudges' for inspiring behaviour change as well (just to mention the two most prominent fields dealing with this topic). The proposed book is about a new, generic way of approaching behaviour change called 'Behaviour Centred Design' (BCD). It provides a theory-based framework for designing behaviour change programs in any field. Further, BCD is based on more fundamental sources of theory than alternatives: evolutionary biology and neuroscience - basically because these are more reliable sources of ideas about behaviour than the cognitive psychology that other methodologies have traditionally depended on"--
Outpost a Doctor on the Divide
Gweneth Wisewould had no direct descendents of her own but the Australian farming community in Central Victoria was as important to her as a family. Moving from Melbourne in the 1930s, she soon became respected and was known only as "The Doctor" for over 30 years. This book recounts her historical view of the people, their lives and illnesses, the beauty and ferocity of the local environment and great difficulties being the sole doctor practising in all weathers and harsh conditions. Her material possessions only had value to serve the purpose for which they were intended. She devoted her life to the treatment and well being of the patient."Outpost" exposes her great sense of compassion and strength of character in pursuing her own life on her terms. She lived by Ralph Waldo Emerson's dictum; the whole adventure has been so very well "worth while."
