The 3rd Alternative
Stephen R. Covey
HC AUD30.00
|
|
In any conflict, the
First Alternative is my way, and the Second Alternative
is your way. The fight always boils down to a
question of whose way is better. This book presents
a new and practical, but incredibly effective
and eye-opening, way to reach resolution through
using the 'Third Alternative'.
The Third Alternative
moves beyond your way or my way to a higher and
better way, one that allows both parties to emerge
from debate or even heated conflict in a far better
place than either had envisioned. With the Third
Alternative, nobody has to give up anything, and
everyone wins.
To a world of escalating
strife and contention, Third Alternative thinkers
like those Covey profiles in this innovative and
practical book, bring creative solutions, peace
and healing.
Through key examples
and stories from his work as a consultant, Covey
will demonstrate that Third Alternative thinking
is the supreme opportunity of our times. You will
learn how to create new and better results instead
of escalating conflict, as well as how to build
strong relationships with diverse individuals
based on an attitude of winning together.

Smart Trust
Stephen M.R. Covey
HC AUD30.00
|
|
Following on from The Speed of Trust,
Stephen M. R. Covey again illuminates the hidden
power of trust to change lives and impact organizations
in Smart Trust.
In a compelling and readable style,
he and long-time business partner Greg Link share
enlightening principles and anecdotes of people
and organizations that are not only achieving
unprecedented prosperity from high-trust relationships
and cultures but, even more inspiring, also attaining
elevated levels of energy and joy.
The sustainable success these leaders
and enterprises are exhibiting is paradoxically
being produced in what has proved to be the lowest
trust climate in years.
Smart Trust shows what they are
doing and the five actions they are commonly taking
to prosper.

Leadership Beyond Good
Intnetions
Geoff Aigner
PB AUD28.00
|
|
Good intentions are not enough.
You want to change things in your organisation
or in the world, but despite your best efforts
you run into obstacles and resistance.
The temptation is to see the challenges as lying
outside ourselves.
We grasp at a model or a tool, or
we find other people slow to get the point or
worse - obstructive. But the real challenge we
face is often ourselves.
Drawing on deep experience of developing
leaders from a wide range of public sector, private
sector, community and non-government organisations,
Geoff Aigner identifies the inner tensions and
work involved in making change.
He challenges common assumptions
we make about ourselves and our motivations, and
offers strategies to explore approaches to leadership
and develop effective and truly compassionate
ways of pursuing change.

Mindfulness for
Beginners
Jon Kabat-Zinn
HC and CD AUD32.95
|
|
We may long for wholeness,
suggests Jon Kabat-Zinn, but the truth is
that it is already here and already ours.
The practice of mindfulness holds the possibility
of not just a fleeting sense of contentment,
but a true embracing of a deeper unity that
envelops and permeates our lives.
With Mindfulness for Beginners
you are invited to learn how to transform
your relationship to the way you think,
feel, love, work, and play-and thereby awaken
to and embody more completely who you really
are.
Here, the teacher, scientist, and clinician
who first de
monstrated the benefits of
mindfulness within mainstream Western medicine
offers a book that you can use in three
unique ways: as a collection of reflections
and practices to be opened and explored
at random; as an illuminating and engaging
start-to-finish read; or as an unfolding
"lesson-a-day" primer on mindfulness
practice.
Beginning and advanced meditators
alike will discover in these pages a valuable
distillation of the key attitudes and essential
practices that Jon Kabat-Zinn has found
most useful with his students, including:
Why heartfulness is synonymous with true
mindfulness; the value of coming back to
our bodies and to our senses over and over
again; how our thoughts "self-liberate"
when touched by awareness; moving beyond
our "story" into direct experience;
stabilizing our attention and presence amidst
daily activities; the three poisons that
cause suffering-and their antidotes; how
mindfulness heals, even after the fact and
reclaiming our wholeness, and more.
The included CD has five guided
mindfulness meditations by Jon Kabat-Zinn,
selected from the audio program that inspired
this book.

Michael Bernard
Beckwith
HC AUD32.95

Why have you been given this
singular treasure that is your life - and

for the unique blend of gifts, skills, experiences,
and perspectives that you alone possess?

of your soul.

the process in its entirety, with invaluable
insights and meditations to help you each
step of the way, including: - The four stages
of consciousness: Victim, Manifester, Channel,
and Being; the characteristics of each stage;
the dance of co-creation-establishing the
balance between effort and surrender; where
powerful intentions come from, and why they
are much greater than self-serving desires;
the "dark night of the soul"-a
guide for navigating the uncertain transition
between stages of consciousness; cultivating
intuition as a key to realizing the highest
vision for your life and applying the Life
Visioning Process in all of your life structures
including relationships, finances, livelihood,

Essence of the
Bhagavad Gita
Eknath Easwaran
PB AUD29.95
|
|
The Bhagavad Gita opens with
a crisis, Prince Arjuna despairs on the
battlefield, unsure if he should fight his
kinsmen in a dreadful war. For Easwaran,
the Gita's epic battle represents the war
in our own hearts and Arjuna's anguish reflects
the human condition: torn between opposing
forces, confused about how to live.
Sri Krishna's timeless guidance,
Easwaran argues, can shed light on our dilemmas
today.
Placing the Gita's teachings in a modern
context, Easwaran explores the nature of
reality, the illusion of separateness, the
search for identity, the meaning of yoga,
and how to heal the unconscious.
The key message of the Gita
is how to resolve our conflicts and live
in harmony with the deep unity of life,
through the practice of meditation and spiritual
disciplines. Sri Krishna doesn't tell Arjuna
what to do. He points out the prince's choices,
and then leaves it to Arjuna to decide.
Easwaran shows us clearly
how these teachings still apply and how,
like Arjuna, we must take courage and act
wisely if we want our world to thrive.
