The Breakneck Julius Caesar Companion
"Alas, thou has misconstrued everything!!" Timothy Mooney presents the companion book to his celebrated performance of his one-man play, "Breakneck Julius Caesar." Both play, and interpretive guide, "The Breakneck Julius Caesar Companion" presents all the background needed to make sense of one of Shakespeare's most challenging plays, all the while demonstrating how very wrong we have gotten this play over all these years! "The Breakneck Julius Caesar Companion" is like a wild trip inside the mind of an amazing Shakespearean performer, as he picks apart the misleading cues that have led students and scholars down blind alleys which have caused "millions of undergraduates" to miss just how wry...

Like a Child
By breaking free from our misperceptions about what it means to be an adult, we can reshape our world and become harbingers of grace. "In our desire to grow up, mature, become adults, we become enamored with who we are supposed to be. When we have finally 'grown up' we realize much of who we really are has been left behind or buried under various masks and roles we play. But the knowledge of who we truly are never leaves us. To reclaim our selfhood, we must grow up again and consciously embrace all that it means to be childlike." —from Chapter 12, "It Takes a Long Time to Become Young" By restoring the childlike ways of humility, trust, awe, wonder, playfulness and more, we can recover a f...

Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception
"This is an advanced introduction to and original interpretation of Merleau-Ponty's greatest work, Phenomenology of Perception. Timothy Mooney provides a clear and compelling exposition of the theory of our projective being in the world, and demonstrates as never before the centrality of the body schema in the theory. Thanks to the schema's motor intentionality our bodies inhabit and appropriate space: our postures and perceptual fields are organised schematically when we move to realise our projects. Thus our lived bodies are ineliminably expressive in being both animated and outcome oriented through-and-through. Mooney also analyses the place of the work in the modern philosophical world, showing what Merleau-Ponty takes up from the Kantian and Phenomenological traditions and what he contributes to each. Casting a fresh light on his magnum opus, this book is essential reading for all those interested in the philosophy and phenomenology of the body"--
Moliere Than Thou
Moliere's cast has all come down with food poisoning! Worse… They've been to see doctors and, as such, are now confined to bed! This leaves Moliere to entertain the audience all by himself (praying that no one asks for a refund…)! And so, he proceeds to lead them through his favorite monologues and scenes: "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," "Don Juan," "The Bourgeois Gentleman," "The School for Wives," "The Precious Young Maidens," "The Doctor in Spite of Himself," "The Imaginary Cuckold," "The Schemings of Scapin," and "The Imaginary Invalid." He plays scenes to unexpecting audience members, pulls volunteers from the audience, and climbs over the audience' laps, while working his way through the funniest theatrical catalogue in history! Timothy Mooney, living a "parallel existence with France's greatest playwright, has not only rewritten most of Moliere's plays into fresh rhymed iambic pentameter, but, playing Moliere, in "Moliere Than Thou," has introduced over a hundred thousand people to the man who is, perhaps, the funniest playwright of all time!
Courageous Training
Dozens of books have been written about how to do training more effectively, with more impact, and so on. Yet despite all that well-meaning advice, of the $70 billion spent on training in the U. S., only 12-15 percent actually gets applied in ways that contribute tangible value to organizations. But Tim Mooney and Robert Brinkerhoff have discovered that some iconoclastic trainers achieve breakthrough results by having the courage to break away from the usual approaches and identify what is really needed and what really works. Studying why these bold training leaders were so successful implementing Brinkerhoff and Mooney’s High Impact Learning tools and methods led them to distill the princ...
