Wisdom
In 1973 Dr. Jonas Salk, discoverer of the first polio vaccine, argued that world survival depends on wisdom. Wise people, for him, were those who made decisions that over the long term yielded positive rather than negative consequences. Unless enough such individuals emerged, he didn't extend the planet much hope. In this book of daily reflections, Reynold Feldman draws from diverse sources of wisdom, from the ancient to the contemporary, and relates them to our own ways of living and deciding. Each reflection ends with a brief exercise that can help readers increase their personal wisdom -- their ability to cope with a rapidly changing, fascinating, yet frightening world -- without adding one more burden to their already overcrowded schedules.
Wisdom for Living
We live in uncertain, even dangerous times. If we were ships, we’d be traveling in rough waters and dense fog. Without a navigation system, we’d soon be sunk - literally. We need to know where and how to navigate to keep ourselves safe as we pursue our individual life journeys. Wisdom for Living is an invaluable resource and guide for strengthening, developing, and accessing your own inherent wisdom nature. Each of us comes hard-wired with the equipment needed to navigate the rough waters of life. This equipment is our intuition or gut feelings, available to all. Yet like the GPS in a car or phone, we need to learn to access, use, and trust it. These short essays suggest how you can find wisdom in a variety of people, places, and things. You are encouraged to keep a wisdom journal (WJ) in which you respond to a motivating question at the end of each essay. In this way, you will create a personal handbook for guiding your life while using your inner guidance to deal with challenges.

Your Heart Knows the Answer
Women are often held captive by their own inner critic, that fearful and doubting voice inside their heads. It makes them question their choices and actions around parenting, relationships, career, and self. "Your Heart Knows the Answer" guides women to reunite with the magnificent woman within, and listen to and trust the strong, intuitive, and all-knowing voice of their hearts. A gentle companion and step-by-step guide, this book helps women listen to what the heart knows and then follow what their heart tells them -- through exercises, affirmations, meditations, and ceremonies. The author shows that decision-making and life choices -- from choosing a mate to accepting a job -- become clear when women listen to their hearts. Featuring compelling true-life stories from the author's own experiences, this inspiring guide deepens a woman's connection with her true self and cultivates ongoing self-love.

New Media, New Ethics?
This book addresses a missing piece of the public conversations about ethics and digital media. The chapters in this book were written by college students at the University of Texas in a course called Ethics and New Media, offered in spring of 2015 and taught by Peg Syverson. The chapters reflect the students' deep inquiry through research on their peers, reading, online discussion, and editorial work. In its chapters, college students report their research on the ethical dilemmas faced by their peers. The results are provocative, wide-ranging, and surprising. They raise further questions about how we can continue to include the voices of those most affected by new media in our public discussions about ethics, internet regulation, appropriate use of technology by children, and wise guidance from parents, spiritual leaders, and teachers.
